Prologue : My Matchmaking Partner Is…
It was lunch break on the first day of the rainy season.
There were two shadows present on the rooftop of a certain school.
[…Haaaah]
One of them, Hirase Yuzuki… Otherwise known as me, sighed loudly.
I’m sure that my face would look really unhappy to anyone who would look at me currently.
The more I was aware of it, the more depressed I became.
[What’s the matter with you, sighing like that all of a sudden?]
[…Listen to me. Kaito]
I complained to Nakazawa Kaito, who was sitting next to me.
[We’re in high school now, right?]
[Well, yes, but why does it matter?]
[When I became a high school student, my parents kept pestering me and asking ‘do you have a girlfriend yet…?’]
[…Hah?…Oh, you mean a matchmaking session with someone]
Kaito was right, I was complaining a lot about matchmaking recently.
At any given time, my father would talk about getting me a girlfriend, and sometimes suggest marrying me off without my consent, and then proceed to take me to a venue.
[But you’re only 16 right? Isn’t it a little too early for that?]
[Kaito… You know my brother, right?]
[Oh, that good looking brother of yours, right? What’s wrong with him?]
[My brother moved abroad]
[…Eh?]
Kaito looked surprised.
That response was natural.
After all, even I, his younger brother, was surprised upon learning that.
[Was it last Tuesday? That night, my brother contacted me and said that he was going on a honeymoon overseas with his wedding partner and wouldn’t be returning to Japan anytime soon]
[…Well, that seems like something he’d do. But what’s that got to do with anything now?]
[My brother’s last words were ‘I’m going to study in a university, so I won’t be able to continue the family name’]
[…I see. So in other words, you, the second son, will replace the family head instead]
[…That’s my point]
[Ahaha, so that’s why they’ve offered you to a matchmaking session]
Kaito nodded with a “Hmm”.
But unfortunately, the story didn’t end there.
[I wish that was all I had to say…]
[Oh? What do you mean?]
[…I’ve not been told the name of the person I’ve been matched with yet]
[Huh…? Are you sure that they didn’t just forget to tell you about it or something?]
[…Unfortunately, that’s not the case. He said that ‘that’s what they had asked me to do’]
Kaito began to think for a moment, and then he opened his mouth.
[…Isn’t that a little… suspicious?]
[I knew you’d agree with me here]
That’s right.
I’m not crazy, right?
Those two parents of mine are the crazy ones, right?
[…Haaah]
[So, what are you going to do now?]
[I can’t say no to that just because it’s suspicious though. And I don’t even know who I’m going to be dealing with. I have no choice but to go to the session later]
[Oh yeah. Well, don’t strain yourself too much then. It’s all up to you after all]
[…I know that]
It’s reassuring to have a good friend who cares about you at times like these.
I’m not going to say that out loud though.
[So, what kind of girls are you into?]
[What? What’s with all the bushwhacking all of a sudden?]
[I mean, if you didn’t have someone you like, you wouldn’t have to hate the idea so intensely otherwise, would you? …Which makes me wonder if there’s someone that you actually like]
[Oh]
Does it look that way if you think about it for a bit?
[…I don’t really like anyone specifically, and I’m not in love with anyone currently either. But arranged marriages… are something that’s decided by our parents, right? They don’t even consider our feelings in the matter. So I’m going to be turning it down]
[…Huh, I see]
Kaito smirked at me.
Did I say something funny or something?
[That would definitely be the case. I mean, not unless you fall in love with her at first sight or something]
[Uh, well… yeah]
[…Then, what if Kashiwagi shows up?]
[…Kashiwagi]
Kashiwagi Yukina.
A girl who is said to be the prettiest girl in the whole school.
Her skin was as white as snow, just like her name suggested (TN: Yuki=snow, for those who don’t know)
In contrast to that, she had long straight black hair that reminded me of the dark night sky.
Her eyes, which looked as if they were filled with rubies, were as round as a kittens.
In addition to looking as good as models in magazines and television, she was also an excellent student. She was someone who was always in the top 3 whenever the results were declared, and she also treats anyone she meets very kindly.
She is what you would call a serious, perfect, neat, pretty, and impeccably beautiful girl.
[…Well, it’d be great if we somehow managed to get together, but rumor has it that she already has a crush on someone]
[That’s apparently the case]
[It’s impossible then. Besides, she looks amazing. I’m sure she would get a lot of matchmaking offers as well.]
[…Huh, you don’t dream, do you…]
Kaito shook his head lightly, saying “good grief”.
On the contrary, I think you’re dreaming a little too much, you know?
I mean, you already have a girlfriend, don’t you?
We ate lunch whilst talking like that for a bit.
[Well then, when is the matchmaking session?]
[…Today]
[…Eh?]
[…It’s happening today]
…Hah, I’m so depressed today.
ーーー
Then after school.
As soon as I got home, they made me change my clothes and took me straight to the venue.
Whilst I was being taken away in the car, I thought about my current situation.
I don’t even know who the other party is here, so what’s the point of this matchmaking session?
This is a one-sided arrangement, not an equal one.
There’s no way I’m going to feel calm going on a matchmaking session with that in mind.
But in other words, the more that they can do that sort of thing, the more power they actually have over our family.
[…Huh. After all, this world’s all about money, isn’t it?]
My muttering was unheard amidst the people inside the quiet car.
ーーー
After that, I arrived at the venue and went to the seat where my partner was waiting for me.
My steps were heavy and my lack of enthusiasm was clear to anyone present.
I could see my father standing ahead of me, and right across from him was a woman who I assumed to be the mother of the girl I was meeting today.
Then, me and my partner sat next to each other in a way that would make us face each other properly.
The girl, who was dressed in a kimono, was seated right in front of me.
Her white-style kimono was decorated with many flowers upon it, which matched the girl’s flawless white skin perfectly.
Such a girl stared at me with her ruby eyes, and then proceeded to bow down with her hands on top of the tatami.
[I’m Kashiwagi Yukina. This is the first time we’ve spoken to each other, isn’t it? Hirase Yuzuki-san]
She said this with a clear and dignified voice while smiling at me .
…Seriously?
What the hell is going to happen to me now..?
