"I..." Hitori Gotoh suddenly raised her voice, pressing her hands against the tabletop.
"Even though I don't have many merits... I won't lose to anyone when it comes to liking Jhin!"
Ugh... I said it, I actually said it. So embarrassing.
To prove her unwavering feelings to Kazami Kazuki, Hitori Gotoh suppressed the urge to run into the kitchen and hide in Jhin's arms, her limbs trembling as she tried her best to look at the other woman earnestly.
Th... This way, Big Sister Kazuki should acknowledge our relationship, right?
Generally speaking, before marriage, one would address a boyfriend's sister in a more polite manner, such as adding her surname or name before 'Sister', or simply following the boyfriend's lead—addressing her however he does.
However, Hitori Gotoh had encountered the odd pair of siblings that was Jhin and Kazami Kazuki. One looked nothing like a sister, and the other absolutely refused to call her sister. To get on good terms with her boyfriend's family, she was trying her hardest to bridge the gap between them.
Also, to prove the bond between her and Jhin, Hitori Gotoh decided to tell Kazami Kazuki about the incredible event where a god granted her wish.
"Has Jhin ever told you... actually, actually he and I once went to the government office and successfully registered our marriage?"
"I've heard."
If Kazami Kazuki hadn't come into contact with Synapse technology, she would never have believed such a story. It would have seemed too absurd and unrealistic, but now she genuinely believed such things were possible.
"I heard from my brother that you still have the marriage registration form preserved. Do you have a photo to let me see?"
"Ah, y-yes!"
Hitori Gotoh hurriedly took out her phone and opened the photo album, finding the photos of the marriage registration form she treated as a treasure—she had taken dozens of shots from different angles—and showed them to Kazami Kazuki.
Kazami Kazuki opened her personal terminal, searched for the commemorative edition of the marriage registration form from their local ward office, and found that the image matched the photo exactly.
"Interesting. So... you want to use this photo to drive away love rivals?"
Kazami Kazuki withdrew her gaze and leaned back against the soft sofa. If she weren't holding a cookie in her hand and eating it, anyone would have mistaken her for an incredibly exquisite, large-scale doll.
"N-No, not that. I-I just want to tell them... my feelings for Jhin will absolutely not be affected by them!"
Hitori Gotoh's eyes burst with unprecedented radiance; this was the confidence the marriage registration form gave her.
Kazami Kazuki ended the recording on her personal terminal and applauded Hitori Gotoh to show her approval.
"What if they want to share with you? Don't rush to answer me. Come find me for a chat when you figure out a good solution."

In a group named [Who is Jhin Accompanying Today]:
Sister Kazuki: "[Main Girlfriend's Calm Attitude Towards Secret Lovers].mp4"
Racing Amane: "??? Where did you forward this strange video from?"
Dora-Sachi: "Just the title makes one unable to resist clicking. Feels like a declaration of war against us."
Makina-na: "Hmph hmph, the main girlfriend is obviously me!"
Otaku Girl: "..."
Sister Kazuki: "Strange, where is that child Michiru?"
Dora-Sachi: "Miss Michiru is working hard on remedial lessons. Her results on the last mock exam were too tragic to look at."
Sister Kazuki: "That stupid child. Forget it, ignore her for now. You guys watch this video first; it's the recording of my conversation with my brother's main girlfriend today."
Otaku Girl: "Finished watching. What's the situation with that marriage registration form?"
Racing Amane: "So fast. I haven't watched it yet. What the hell is a marriage registration form?"
Makina-na: "Ooooh, to dare look Sister Kazuki in the eye. For this courage, I, Makina, am willing to call you the strongest!"
Dora-Sachi: "Although this affection is indeed moving, I'm still very concerned about the marriage registration form with Jhin. Why does such a thing exist?"
Sister Kazuki: "Just treat it as a supernatural event. So, what do you think of her?"
Racing Amane: "Her name is Hitori Gotoh, right? Since Jhin likes her so much, I don't have any objections. Her personality doesn't look bad either."
Makina-na: "+1"
Dora-Sachi: "+1"

Jhin came out of the kitchen carrying fried chicken and didn't see Kazami Kazuki.
He asked in confusion, "Bocchi-chan, where's Kazuki?"
"Sister she... left after asking her questions..." Hitori Gotoh was physically and mentally exhausted from answering questions. She swayed and drilled her entire body into Jhin's embrace to recharge her boyfriend energy.
"Oh? What did she ask?"
"Not telling you." Hitori Gotoh didn't want to recall those questions. She only wanted to stay in this warm embrace and sleep until the end of time.
"Bocchi-chan, how am I supposed to put the fried chicken on the table like this? Aren't you eating?"
"Sister made me eat a lot of desserts, I can't eat anymore for now..."
"You've actually started calling Kazuki 'Sister'."
Hitori Gotoh lifted her face, which was buried in Jhin's chest, revealing two large, watery eyes. "Can't I?"
"Of course you can. With your relationship being so good, I couldn't be happier."
"Mm."
Jhin placed the plate containing the fried chicken onto the side dining table and scooped his girlfriend up in a princess carry, planting several kisses on her fair face that looked as if it could be broken by a breeze.
"Since it's just the two of us left, let's go change into the maid outfit!"
"I... I can change by myself, put me down."
"Be good, the butler suit is also in my room. I'll take you to see something good."
Hitori Gotoh instantly stopped struggling and lay docilely in the crook of Jhin's arm as he carried her into the bedroom.
