Chapter 2: Mariya Shidou's Future
Alternate Title: My Perverted Idiot of a Wife is Still the Annoying Idiot I Remember! What a Relief!
Plenty of people around the world were nearly bursting with excited rumours; some completely outlandish, some terrifyingly realistic
How could they not, when someone as celebrated as Shizu Shidou was getting married- and to an unknown baker at that?
Gossipers called the woman lucky, and the man insane, but never once did they say this to either of the two.
Instead, they gave cheap pleasantries such as 'Congratulations on your union', or 'When are the babies coming?', or 'sometimes even 'I can see why you love her so dearly'.
At the last one, Shizu scoffed. All they saw was a tower pole with boobs who must have seduced the great Shizu Shidou somehow. People who knew her better saw a frail woman who fainted and bled with the same dreamy smile, at the most inopportune moments.
How could they possibly see the woman who still gets nosebleeds at the strangest sight, yet refuses to take pictures since the last celebration of Sachi's birthday? How could they see the woman who passed both business and cooking school, despite being the only person in Ame no Kisaki history to fail all of her subjects? The woman who grew out of her fear of men, yet still ran for the hills if she caught a glimpse of Father Kanae? How could they see the woman who grew so much and so little from the perverted idiot of his memories?
No, there was no way anyone except for him could see what he saw in her.
That's exactly why, from the moment the ceremony started, to the two of them entering the bedroom together, Shizu's smile was completely genuine, and held no signs of malice or cruelty anywhere.
(...at least until Kanako found out that no, Shizu did not refer to the kind bifauxnen she met in high school, but to 'Mariya-mon' and promptly started screaming)
I hope you enjoyed it! Please have a nice day/night/whatever!
