Also known as The Stupid Cop Ruins My Wedding Again!; The Stupid Cop Falls in Love; Why Can Other People Marry You, But I Can't?! P.S. The author's emotions were stable for the first three chapters. The further I wrote, the more unhinged it got. I've now completely let loose, and every plot development takes an unexpected turn. #A news item published one day in the Beika Town Evening News Shocking! Love Con Artist Swindles Victims Out of a Fortune, But the Wanted Poster Offers a Reward of Only 50 Yen! The comments filled with victims: [Nonsense! My heart has drifted away, my love is gone, and I gave them my money of my own free will!] [Before reading the article, I condemned her. After reading it, I'm willing!] [Is the 50 yen for voting? How is that enough!] Amid all the comments, one reasonable person spoke up: [Officer Matsuda has put himself at risk to test the law. When will he arrest her?] Far away, a certain spiky-haired man had been lying in wait at someone else's wedding. Just as he was about to make the arrest... The security guard jumped out: I'm a professional wedding security guard! What are you trying to do, steal the bride again, kid? -Not-Important Blurb- Fuyuno Kaede was a con artist, a love con artist who swindled people out of money and affection. On the police station's wanted poster, her bounty was worth... 50 yen. Cheap enough to let her roam free. (Though the wanted poster was drawn by an utterly deranged pursuer.) Matsuda recorded it all in his little notebook: She had conned countless people, but not one victim had come forward to testify. They all wept and said she had her reasons, wiping away tears as they claimed they weren't good enough for her. They sobbed in agony, hearts breaking until they could hardly breathe, and still wished her happiness in her next marriage. First, she dated people and conned them out of gifts. Then she held a wedding without getting legally married. After collecting the wedding money, she fled with it on her wedding night and picked out her next victim. He had every detail right. The trouble was, there was no proof. All the victims were on her side, and countless ex-boyfriends joined hands to speak up for her. She was put on the wanted list purely because a certain short, spiky-haired officer was abusing his authority to settle a personal grudge. She was worth only 50 yen purely because that same officer was hiding his own motives. So the short, spiky-haired officer started doing everything he could to ruin her weddings. "Wake up!" he shouted at her wedding, exposing her lies. "She's a con artist who tricks people into marrying her!" "You wake up!" the groom shouted angrily. "Why are you trying to steal the bride again, you punk?!" Damn it! He made up his mind. He would infiltrate the enemy's lair and bring her to justice! The infiltration went smoothly. The ending was tragic. He fell, taking his heart and feelings down with him. Fuyuno Kaede ran right from the wedding, without even waiting for their wedding night. Matsuda, dressed in his groom's suit, was devastated. After the wedding, Fuyuno Kaede vanished without a trace, leaving behind only the tiny 50-yen bounty on her wanted poster. The next time he saw her, the photo from the wanted poster had been printed on a gravestone. (The wanted poster here is an altered version, a fake wanted poster. Please go easy on me, reviewers.) The heroine is chaotic neutral. - (The story in the blurb appears midway through the novel.) -Couple: Matsuda *Reading Guide -OOC warning! -No botched ending. The novel has a detailed outline already written, and I refuse to phone it in. -Some healing, mutual healing -The heroine really is a con artist, but the stupid cop will give her a thorough talking-to! -No case-solving or deduction.
