My Plain-looking Fiance is Secretly Sweet with Me Volume 3 - Chapter 1

Chapter 1
It seems that my fiancé is becoming more and more spoiled, but what do you think?

The summer festival, the biggest event held in summer, has ended.

Looks like last night I was so exhausted that I fell asleep like a dead man..., when I woke up, the bright sunlight shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

“…Hm? What time is it?”

Looking at the alarm clock beside the bed...

Heck, is it 11 am already?

I slowly raised my body and was about to get out of the blanket, but then, beside me I noticed my fiancée still sleeping while hugging my waist tightly.

“Yu-Yuuka?”

“...Mmh..., Yuu-kun...”

While burying her face in my body, my fiancé—Watanae Yuuka—for some reason let out a small moan.

As I frantically pulled myself away from her, Yuuka's mouth loosened, appearing to be sleeping very soundly.

She wore her usual light blue dress, and she let her long black hair down. The eyelashes that framed her round eyes were surprisingly long.

...Come to think of it, when outside the house Yuuka's eyes looked slanted when she put on her glasses, but when she was at home and took off her glasses, her eyes looked drooping... Really, that was weird.

“Uuu… uuu…”

While I was thinking like that, Yuuka furrowed her brows as if she was having a nightmare.

“Yuu-kun…, gone…”

While saying my name, she shook her head with an expression that looked like she was about to cry.

Seeing her like she was having a nightmare made me feel sorry for her, so I decided to stay close to Yuuka.

“...Ehehe, Yuu-kun...”

In an instant, her mood instantly became good again.

Good grief, even when she sleeps she is still a person who easily changes her mood.

Originally, Yuuka and I were classmates who had no relationship with each other, but when our father arbitrarily [married] us, now we became engaged..., and started living together.

Until Yuuka’s package arrived she used Nayu's room, but now, Yuuka uses my father's room as her room. After all, between Nayu and my father, it is my father who rarely comes home.

And with that, our room was both upstairs, but when it came to sleeping, Yuuka always came to my room and slept with me.

At first, Yuuka who was afraid of lightning begged me to sleep with her, but before I knew it, this has become like a daily habit.

Of course, the distance between our beds is made a bit far, because otherwise, my heart wouldn't be able to survive.

And thus…, the current situation was completely created because of Yuuka's sleeping pattern.

“Nyau~..., Yuu-kun...”

“Wait—?! Yuuka?!”

I don't know what she was dreaming about, but Yuuka suddenly opened her arms wide—and then she hugged me tightly. Due to that momentum, I once again ended up lying on the bed.

Just then, I felt Yuuka's head touch my chin, making me can smell a sweet scent wafting from her hair.

This is bad..., I might lose my mind...

Closing my eyes, I tried my best to think of something else so my body wouldn't react in a strange way.

 

——The winter when I was in my third year of middle school.

I was rejected outright by a girl who was close to me, and the next day, I was taken aback by the rumors about that incident spreading throughout the class…, and in the end, I decided not to go to school for about a week.

In that period, I found out online game released by a big company, [Love Idol Dream! Alice Stage☆].

In that game, there are about a hundred characters called Alice Idol, and they’re all voiced. There are also many events held, both in the game and in real life.

Of all the Alice Idols in Alice Stage—the one who shines the most for me is my goddess, my angel, my everything in this world.

Yes, it is Yuuna-chan.

She has brown hair in a twintail, feminine appearance with pink as the basic color of her character. She was short and had a childish face, but her breasts are surprisingly large

With her big round eyes, she looked at me, and when she opened her cute mouth…, Yuuna-chan said this:

[Yuuna’ll always be by your side! So..., let's laugh together?]

 

——Damn, this is useless.

Even though I tried to distract myself by thinking about Yuuna-chan, but Yuuna-chan's and Yuuka's voices overlapped each other..., making my feelings even more strange.

In this situation, trying to distract me by thinking about Yuuna-chan would be useless. After all, Watanae Yuuka is Izumi Yuuna, the voice actress for Yuuna-chan.

“…Yuu-kun, you're so warm…”

While hugging me tightly, Yuuka was delirious in her sleep.

She is my unobtrusive classmate—Watanae Yuuka.

She is the voice actress of my waifu, Yuuna-chan—Izumi Yuuna.

At home, she is natural, innocent, and loves to attract attention.

Every day I spent with my fiancé who had so many expressions was never boring, in fact, it was more fun than I thought... But, I don't want to be in this situation because it's bad for my heart.

“Hey, Yuuka, let's get up?”

“Mmh…, my head is so cold…”

“Your head is cold?”

“Mmh…, something is missing in my head…”

D-Does she want me to do this?

Gently, I put my hand on Yuuka's head.

“Yes, yes, that is...”

As she was delirious, Yuuka started to move her head from side to side under my palm.

What the hell is she doing? Stroking her own head?

“Ngh…, my stomach and back are cold too…”

“Stomach and back?”

“Ngh..., there’s not enough hug...”

I-Is it like this?

Despite feeling a little embarrassed, I wrapped my arms around Yuuka's back and hugged her.

“Eheheh...”

Yuuka also hugged me back, with her cheeks looking very relaxed.

She even hummed....——wait a minute?!

“Yuuka…, you definitely awake, didn’t you?”

“I'm still sleeping.”

“A sleeping person won't say I’m still sleeping.”

“Then I wasn't sleeping.”

“No, that's not the point here!”

I slowly pulled myself away from Yuuka and woke my upper body up.

Then, Yuuka opened her eyes and looked at me.

“So I got caught, huh?”

“Of course you’re… Since when have you been awake?”

“Since you said , [...Hm? What time is it?].”

“Doesn't that mean you were awake from the start?”

When I pointed it out, Yuuka stuck out her tongue and blinked her eyes to avoid my question.

Ever since we got used to living together like this, every day she also became more and more spoiled. Good grief... she really likes attention-seeking.

---

After Yuuka and I woke up, we prepared breakfast as well as lunch, and after that we sat down at the dining table.

“Itadakimasu.”

“Itadakimasu!”

As I was munching on my toast, I noticed Yuuka who was sitting in front of me staring at me.

“What’s wrong, Yuuka? Aren't you going to eat?”

“It's nothing, it's just that when I saw your face, I thought that the last summer festival was really fun…, ehehehe.”

While supporting her chin with her hand, Yuuka chuckled.

Seeing her looking so happy like that, for some reason, I also became happy when a warm feeling penetrated my chest.

“Well, even though there was a lot going on… it was really fun.”

“Yes! We eat cotton candy, scoop goldfish…”

“But when we were shooting, you somehow fire the bullet backward.”

“Geez! You don't need to mention something embarrassing like that!!!”

Annoyed at my tease, Yuuka puffed out her cheeks, but then—soon. “Ahahaha”, she started laughing out loud.

“The summer festival was fun, but our secret date, or the time we looked up at the starry sky on the field trip…, and even when we eat together like this, everything I do with you feels fun!”

As she said that, Yuuka smiled as bright as the sun.

Her expression made her look like my beloved Alice Idol, Yuuna-chan, and I could feel as if the line between the two of them was starting to waver.

Back then, when I saw my father depressed with a lifeless face because of his divorce from my mother, I stopped dreaming of getting married.

Then, after the incident that happened when I was in middle school, I became afraid of hurting or being hurt by someone, so I swore to keep away from 3D girls and would only love 2D girls.

But even so, Yuuka, the girl who became my fiancee, tried to melt my frozen heart with her warm innocent smile.

“Hmm? What's wrong, Yuu-kun?”

As I was deep in thought, Yuuka who was looking at my face looked worried.

Seeing Yuuka like that, I suddenly felt as if my cheeks were loosening.

“It's nothing, I was just thinking... thank you, for everything.”

Unconsciously, what came out of my mouth were words of gratitude.

The trauma etched into me since I was in middle school won't go away easily, but, if I'm with Yuuka, then one day——

When I think of something like that…, I feel that Yuuka's existence is becoming more and more irreplaceable to me.

“…Me too, thank you, Yuu-kun.”

Muttering that, Yuuka looked at me with her eyes that were as beautiful as the clear sky without a speck of cloud.

“I'm not good at interacting with people… especially if it's a boy. But somehow, when I'm with you, I can act honestly and straightforward. That's why, when I'm with you, I feel very comfortable.”

With a gentle tone Yuuka said that…, and she also displayed her usual full smile.

Seeing her expression made me feel embarrassed, so I quickly looked down at my phone, and then tried to distract myself from her by playing Alice Stage's gacha.

“......Aah.”

What came out was [SR Yuuna]—but to me it was UR.

I gently touched Yuuna-chan who appeared on the screen, and then her voice came from my phone,

 

[Don’t worry! Yuuna’ll always be by your side. I swear…, I’ll always be by your side!]

 
Yuuna-chan's words seeped deep into my heart, and something warm immediately filled my heart.

[Don’t worry! Yuuna’ll always be by your side. I swear…, I’ll always be by your side!]

Aaaah..., what a beautiful word.

[Don’t worry! Yuuna’ll always be by your side. I swear…, I’ll always be by your side!]

Thank you, Yuuna-chan.

I also swear, that I’ll always be by your side, Yuuna-chan.

“…Yuu-kun?”

“Hmm? What's wrong, Yuuka?”

[Don’t worry! Yuuna’ll always be by your side. I swear…, I’ll always be by your side!]

When Yuuna-chan's voice was heard for the fourth time—Yuuka suddenly stood up.

With a bright red face, she shook her shoulders..., and said:

“Geez..., if you repeat Yuuna's words in front of me..., I'll feel embarrassed, you know..., ba~ka!”

This is how I—Sakata Yuuichi—became Watanae Yuuka's fiancé.

On the outside, she is a salty girl, but at home, she is an innocent girl. As Izumi Yuuna, she has always worked hard in her voice acting career.

Together with her, I really never feel bored.
