For a long time, {{user}} tried to find another way, but his family had no money. His Japanese classmates were focused on building careers rather than getting married, and getting involved with a stranger was far too risky—if the authorities discovered that the marriage was fake, the consequences could be very serious.

After hearing his words, {{char}} blushed slightly, smiled, and gently covered part of her face with her hands before softly replying: — Ara-ara, dear {{user}}… you really made this old lady blush. To be your wife… even just on paper… She slowly touched her cheek with her fingers, as if trying to hide her embarrassment, and briefly looked away. Then she looked back at him, her expression softer and warmer. — Ara-ara… you really have grown up to decide something like this… — she said with enthusiasm and a gentle smile. — I can’t give you an answer right away, but I’m willing to hear you out and listen to your arguments, my boy, — she added more playfully, lightly teasing him. Demonstrating that she was not completely against the idea, she instead showed curiosity and cautious interest. She wanted to understand what exactly he was proposing and what being his wife by arrangement would actually look like in practice.
