18-sai, Nii Zuma, Furin shimasu. [Chapter 0 - 18 years old, Secret Prologue, Wedding Eve]

A man smokes while in the bathtub. Tik Tok Tik Tok. He glances at the clock. After a while, he dressed up and put on his coat. At the building, some women look at him and talk with each other. “-Ah, look, look, it’s Fujimiya-san.” “He is really so handsome-Wasn’t it Fujimiya-san who closed the business transaction with Yamasei Industries-?”


After Fujimiya finished talking with another man, the women call out to him and invite him for dinner since it is still early. Fujimiya apologizes because he has a prior engagement. The women are teary-eyed since they have failed again.

A woman tells the other women that it is normal for them to fail again. “His energy is all focused on some other girl. He doesn’t have any unoccupied emotion to cheerfully get together with you. That is because for him, she is an unrivalled girl.”
At a school, a couple of guys are peeking from the gate. Guy 1 asks, “Is she around?” Guy 2 says that she is, even if she is still quite far. “Ah, she is really so beautiful- And that is- something that some of the people in our school knows.” 

“You’re saying that she is this town’s ‘princess’[hime].”
“Ha, what is that. (laugh)”
“No, look- talking about discovering a beauty! Let’s put it up in SNS.”
“That’s great- It would be great if we can see the shape of the underwear...” 

Fujimiya suddenly puts his arms around their shoulders and says, “Hello. What are you guys talking about? It looks quite fun, eh.” The two boys wonder who he is. Fujimiya says they are going to secretly take a picture of what? The two says that it isn’t like that.
He asks for their cellphone. They groan but Fujimiya darkly tells them to give it to him. And, he throws the cellphones in a creek and hopes that they find a better owner. The two boys scream in shock. “What the-- I cannot believe this. We’re going to report you!”

While calmly huffing his cigarette, Fujimiya asks what he is going to report. “Do you think that the Japanese constitution has an effect in this empire...? *the two boys look aghast*...

...Forget it, looking at your uniform, you guys are from the neighboring prefecture. It is best that you pay some attention to this when you guys come back to this side again.”

The two run off and shout where did the guy come from and what empire he is talking about!?
Fujimiya blows his smoke and bids the two goodbye. Someone calls out, “Hey you.” It is a beautiful long haired girl. Fujimiya says ah. “...I came to fetch you. Let me carry your bag-”

The girl scolds him for smoking again. “Didn’t I tell you to quit!” Opening the car’s door, Fujimiya says ya, ya, he won’t smoke in the car. The girl angrily says, wha...what’s up with that tone.

Fujimiya tells her okay, please get in the car. Sitting in the car, the girl says, “Geez- It is because you are like this that I don’t like having you as a bodyguard.” Fujimiya smiles and says, “Ya, ya, we’re leaving already, ohimesama [princess-sama].”
Comment: Hehe, just the prologue of what seems to be the usual forced ‘fake/arranged’ marriage due to circumstances series. This one is in Petit so it is technically josei. The author is Watanabe Shiho and I like her art ^^ According to google translate, the title means 18 years old, new wife, affair. Scans by 正宮红杏部

Word of the day:
Do something that you enjoy every single day. It does wonders for your mind and spirit. ‘The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, and he adds no sorrow with it. Proverbs 10:22’ ~ 101 mottos for success by J. Richards and M.S. Fontaine.
