This story's premise has been changed!
Odo Hitomi from the Port Mafia intelligence division has entered a fake marriage. Her husband is a delicate, beautiful ordinary police officer. Given his looks, Odo Hitomi is happy to earn the money and support the household, while her husband just has to look pretty.
A pretty ornament like that is a pleasure to have around the house.
But her husband is so busy he can't even come home. Odo Hitomi looks at his salary with disdain. What kind of job pays this pathetic amount a month?
Following the boss's instructions, Odo Hitomi meets up with a member of a certain black-clad organization in Tokyo.
Bourbon: Ms. Odo, may I ask who just brought you here?
Odo Hitomi: My husband.
Scotch: Sorry, just to confirm, your husband seems to be wearing...
Odo Hitomi: He's a police officer.
*
The top bomb disposal expert at the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department has just dropped off his "newlywed wife" at a cafe. He turns around and calls his superior.
Hagiwara: Three months into the marriage, there's still nothing unusual. I haven't found any leads connecting her to the "Lemon Bomb" yet.
Hagiwara returns to his bachelor apartment and receives an anonymous letter that night.
"Your wife is suspicious."
Yes, he does know his fake-marriage wife is connected to a Mafia bomber with a serious love of explosions, but can someone tell him...
Who sent this letter, knowing the address of his private apartment?
Odo Hitomi: My delicate, beautiful husband still doesn't know I'm in the Mafia.
Hagiwara: My beautiful, dangerous wife still doesn't know I know she's in the Mafia.
Scotch: My innocent, kind-hearted classmate still doesn't know he was tricked into a marriage.
Bourbon: What can I do to break them up? Should I arrange for her to cheat?
