Faking a Marriage with the Mafia Is Surprisingly Scientific

[This story will switch to a paid-per-chapter format starting from Chapter 22 on October 28, 2025. Thank you all for your support.]

Kitazawa Tokine is 20 years old. Recently, she's fallen for a transfer student in her eldest nephew's class, and shamelessly snuck into the school pretending to be younger.

But before she can win the boy over, her grown-up nephew turns into an elementary school student, and he's got a grim reaper's knack for bringing death wherever he goes.

Oh well, never mind him~

She'd better get to dating (tricking someone into marriage) first.

Mini-scene 1:

Kitazawa Tokine: (Full of energy) Hi, everyone! I'm Kitazawa Tokine! I'm 17 this year.

Eldest nephew: She's a rotten cucumber painted green.

A fist as big as a cooking pot came down on his head.

Whole class: Sister Tokine! If you hit him, you can't hit us!

Mini-scene 2:

Eldest nephew: (Adjusts his glasses) The culprit is...

Kitazawa Tokine: (Eager for the gossip) Come on, who is it!

And then the gossip turned out to be about her.

The Tenth, also a suspect: (Reaches out) What a coincidence! You're a suspect too.

Kitazawa Tokine shakes his hand and nods repeatedly: What a coincidence!

Police: Could you two show a little concern for your own safety?

Mini-scene 3:

Kitazawa Tokine: I like you. Would you consider letting me trick you into marrying me?

Before the Tenth can answer, her eldest nephew expertly pulls out a length of rope, ties him up, and has the young detectives carry him back to the Kudo residence.

When the Vongola hear the news, they rush from overseas to Japan, seeing red and waving banners as they shout, "Give us back our Tenth!"

Reborn: This is the dowry.

The Kudo couple: Sounds good to us.
