My Fiance, Who Was Declared Dead, Came Knocking

[Comments on chapters are open to everyone]

Here's a preview of my next story, The Aftermath of a One-Night Stand with Nakahara Chuuya, a pure romance. Please check the content warnings at the end of the blurb.

This story can be summed up as: Narcissistic Dazai brings a self-righteous attitude to the classic agonizing pursuit of his wife.

Suzuki Yako, the second daughter of the Suzuki family.

A well-rounded powerhouse with just one flaw: in the eyes of those close to her, she's a menace.

But with the Suzuki family's status, that hardly matters. She is even working hard to become the ruler of Japan, with absolute power.

What does matter is that after her childhood fiance vanished at the age of twelve, Suzuki Yako decided to shut her heart to love.

The whole Suzuki family hates the man so much their teeth ache. Every day, they angrily bite their handkerchiefs, while even outsiders who know nothing about what happened marvel at Miss Suzuki's devotion.

So when her presumed-dead fiance comes knocking, Suzuki, who simply likes being single, finds herself caught up in a forced-marriage fiasco.

Suzuki Yako: Damn it.

Dazai, who can't read the room: Yako, open the door. It's Tsushima.

When Dazai was little, he "hated" his childhood friend.

His friend was strong and confident, unafraid of any negative consequences. By comparison, Dazai seemed much too cowardly.

Especially since, although people claimed he was being raised to become her husband, he was really just a human-shaped painkiller bought for her.

But after running away from home, this became something he could brag about, enough to make the little dwarf jump with rage.

"Oh, I have a fiancee who's devoted to me and has been waiting for me all this time. Unlike the poor little dwarf, I actually have some appeal to women."

The little dwarf only scoffed. "She forgot all about you ages ago."

1. This is a brave little mackerel.

Blurb for The Aftermath of a One-Night Stand with Nakahara Chuuya:

I, Imagawa Tokiyuki, live in a world that has been polluted by other worlds.

That's not so bad. I can just muddle through.

But because I'm special, the world came looking for me and gave me the wonderful life of working around the clock, seven days a week.

World, are you employing a child? Is nobody going to do anything about this? (Throws himself down.jpg)

So even on the day I became an adult, I was still flying through the sky. By the time I touched down, it was already night.

I planned to "drink myself senseless" at a bar as an act of rebellion against the world.

Unfortunately, I didn't get drunk. Instead, I wound up with a guy even shorter than me. (Evil grin.jpg)

This guy took apart my suitcase, so I decided to make him pay for it.

Chuuya's perspective:

I'm Nakahara Chuuya, a poor overworked drone left to clean up the mess after my partner defected, working around the clock...

You think that's what I'm going to say?

No! My partner's defection made me feel happy and giddy, so after cleaning up the mess, I decided to go out for a drink.

...I'm never drinking again!!!

#Content warnings#

1. Chuuya is the love interest. This is a romance between someone who's 160 cm and someone who's 170 cm, because I kind of want to eat while being eaten.

2. A short story with not much substance? Crude wording.

Theme: Pursue love bravely.
