Everyday Romance with Nikaido

Coming soon: My Years Working at the Odd Jobs Shop

The love interest is Nisan, a cheerful, sunny guy

Blurb:

I'm in love. I'm secretly dating Nikaido, a member of the archery club.

Of course, it's only a secret relationship as far as I'm concerned.

He doesn't think it's a secret. He thinks we're just dating like normal people.

To keep my family from finding out, I go on dates with my boyfriend using all sorts of excuses, like a spy.

I also take care to keep my family from discovering that he exists.

But... I never imagined that my relationship would be exposed at such an awkward moment.

"So this is why you turned down my invitation to go out?"

My boyfriend hides his anger. Without a smile, he looks at me calmly as I cling to my brother's hand and act cute.

The consequence of not introducing your family to your boyfriend is...

When my brother and I are meeting up, my boyfriend suddenly appears and mistakes my twin brother for a rival in love.

My relationship is exposed without warning. My boyfriend looks stunned, while my brother's stony expression leaves me afraid to speak.

I lower my head and dart my eyes around.

At a time like this, all I can do is look for a crack in the ground and crawl into it...

Later...

Jealous of how close my boyfriend and I are, he kisses me and asks, "Who do you like more, me or Shu?"

I don't answer. Instead, I ask, "Which do you like more, me or archery?"

Hmph. I refuse to admit that the people my boyfriend and my brother love most are both devoted to archery.

How tragic. The greatest rival in my life turns out to be archery!

Love interest: Nikaido

There are so few stories about them, so I had to write my own.

Note: First-person narration, no plot or logic, with settings mixed together from novels, anime, and my own personal additions.

Coming soon:

After My Husband Died Young, I Became the Organization's Boss

My husband died not long after we married. His trusted right-hand man and I worked together behind the scenes and pushed me into becoming the organization's boss.

Two years later, the boss of the Port Mafia next door was replaced. The organization was plagued by internal strife, and the new boss's position was precarious.

Then the new boss next door sent me an invitation, proposing a marriage alliance to unite our two organizations and use my power to secure his position.

After thinking it over, I agreed. I planned to repeat my old strategy: kill my new husband, take charge of both organizations, and become Yokohama's one and only ruler.

The newlyweds each have their own agenda, fighting both in and out of bed.

My new husband isn't going to be easy to kill anytime soon, and I've set my sights on his subordinates. I'm determined to put horns on his head, working hard to poach every one of his capable executives.

Marry first, fall in love later? Not a chance.

For me, it's all about getting promoted and rich, and having my husband die.

/

To secure my position as boss and absorb the Tsukimi Group's power, I wagered marriage and struck a deal with its leader.

Before we were even married, the other party showed up with a whole line of lawyers to make me sign a prenuptial agreement.

After we married, my new wife and I shared a bed but not our thoughts, each plotting how to absorb the other's power.

We were constantly at odds, but my new wife took a third path.

Worried that I wasn't being cheated on enough, she tried every trick in the book to steal my people away, whether I was watching or not.

What kind of husband am I? Just an unlucky fool.

/

Funny.

My wife failed to poach anyone. One stayed unmoved, and another defected to the enemy.

Tragic.

I failed to poach my husband's subordinate, but my beloved stepdaughter is still my husband's ability incarnate. If he dies, she will disappear too.

Life is simply unpredictable.

Theme: Love is a two-way journey.
