Gorgon's Bride

(sigh...)

？！

Oh, Fujimaru. Actually...I was offered a chance for an arranged marriage...

？！

I have two older sisters, and they approached me about having a formal marriage interview.

？！

Well, I don't think they're that serious about matchmaking.

I have a feeling that they're just interested in my reactions...

？！

Sure..., but my sisters gave me a condition for turning it down...

...So, you and Senpai must pretend to be a couple.

Fou...

Hey, cheer up, Mash. It's just a performance, not like they're going to actually link their arms or kiss...

Wait, maybe they should? Unless they do, they won't be seen as a couple.

...!

Uh, well, I don't know. You know, I'm not used to that kind of stuff...

...Whew. Well, of course, not you of all people, Medusa.

I'm not really happy either that you felt so relieved... I'm just not used to being in a relationship...

At any rate, I'm sorry, Fujimaru. For making you go through the extra trouble.

？！

...

All right, let me shoot the video evidence. You back me up, Mash.

...Yes, understood.

Hehe, I enjoy doing stuff like this once in a while. Though I'm sorry to trouble you.

？！

Really? You have odd taste in things.

...

Now, now, Mash, it's high time you got over it.

Hey, lady. Look at your sexy body. Why don't you hang out with us?

...? Fujimaru, who are they talking about?

？！

Heehee...I'm sure it'll be more fun to hang out with us than a kid like that.

I'm sorry, but I'm enjoying my time with Fujimaru right now.

I'd appreciate it if you could quickly disappear from my sight...

What the heck? What a snob... Hey, you guys. Teach her a lesson!

...Well. I may be used to it, but the fact that it's the same as always gives me a headache.

I'm sorry, Fujimaru. Give me a little time to take out some trash.

Wh-What the hell...this woman... D-Damn it!! Boss!! Call the Boss!!

Let me see... Ha! You can't even handle a woman and a few kids?

Yeah, but that woman's a "giant" with "crazy strength."

...(Humph)

Tsk, letting a single woman have her way with you. Well, I do agree that small and cute girls are better.

I'd turn down a "giant" like that even if she asked me out.

...(Ticked)

Hehe! With our Boss here, we're not afraid of you any more!! Hey, guys!! Let's take her down!!

...Master. May I go all-out?

No, I'm not angry, I'm really not... It's just that my mystic eyes are aching.

Senpai, let's back her up...!! Oh, it looks like we don't need to do that.

?!?!?! (Freeze)

Whoa!? Boss turned to stone? Dammit, I'm going to get you for this!

Whew... I lost my temper a little there. Fujimaru, I apologize.

？！

Hehe... you're a kind person. I appreciate your concern.

Besides, you treat even someone like me like a normal person.

Anyone who approached me would turn to stone, their faces twisted in horror...

Medusa...

The monster Medusa... The Gorgon... By the way, how do your sisters look...

Doctor!

My sisters are very cute. They are not at all violent, unlike me.

？！

!!!

...Thank you, Fujimaru. I like being around you.

I'm inexperienced, but let's get along from now too.
