Masuzu Natsukawa had always seen Renz as a kindred spirit, an anti-romance advocate. She’d observed him closely: for instance, during the boys’ "peeping" incident, Masuzu had been there, recording it and handing it over to the Disciplinary Committee. In that recording, Renz had refused to participate, and she felt he wasn’t keen on romance.

Tentatively, she had approached him, hoping to use a "fake relationship" to deter the fervent advances of boys from other schools. While she intended to use Renz as a shield, she was also willing to offer some rewards, like preparing bentos for him and providing free lunches to make their "fake relationship" more believable.

Later, after his rejection, Masuzu had temporarily abandoned her plan but continued to watch Renz’s every move at school. He seemed terrified of encountering any girls, barely greeting them, and even at lunchtime, he deliberately kept his distance, as if avoiding something dangerous. This led Masuzu to a new conclusion: he wasn’t just "anti-romance"; he might also have gynephobia, perhaps even attending an all-girls’ school to overcome it. Otherwise, why would someone who disliked girls and didn’t want to date attend a school with significantly more girls than boys?

Then, Renz’s simple statement shattered all her assumptions and theories.

"Married?!"

Wait, wait, you’re at most 18, right? Are you some kind of pioneer? Getting married at this age?!

"That’s impossible, isn’t it?" Masuzu Natsukawa said skeptically, leaning forward, hands braced on the table, her gaze fixed on Renz. Her presence commanded the room.

"What’s impossible about it?" Renz retorted.

"Then, who is your spouse? What’s their name?" Masuzu pressed again.

"No comment," Renz replied calmly.

"You two, please don’t argue for now," Chika Fujiwara interjected, rubbing her head. "Although I don’t know what’s going on, it’s better to calm down and talk slowly."

"Yes, yes," Miyuki Shirogane nodded. "Natsukawa-san, why did you come here seeking help?"

"It’s nothing I can’t say," Masuzu Natsukawa reverted to her aloof demeanor. "I just wanted to ask Renz-kun to pretend to be my boyfriend to deter other male students from outside the school."

Kaguya Shinomiya subtly flinched.

"I just didn’t expect Renz-kun to be one step ahead of me, even registering for marriage just to reject this," Masuzu Natsukawa said, narrowing her eyes, attempting to extract information from Renz. Her words implied that she believed Renz was either faking his marriage or using it as an excuse to decline her request.

"Oh, I’m sorry, you’re not that important," Renz rolled his eyes. "Why would I go to such lengths to reject you?"

"If I don’t want to do something, can you force me?"

"If I wanted to reject you, I’d do it directly, not beat around the bush."

He showed absolutely no mercy. Is this the assertiveness of a married man? Miyuki Shirogane mused inwardly.

"Then why can’t Renz-kun tell us who his spouse is? Not even a name?" Kaguya Shinomiya interjected with her own skepticism. Kaguya already harbored doubts about the truth of Renz’s marriage, and Masuzu Natsukawa’s situation only made the authenticity of the matter more questionable, especially with how tight-lipped Renz was.

"Because my wife is a public figure, and revealing it would cause a lot of trouble," Renz explained why he couldn’t disclose the name.

"Oh... is that how it is?" Kaguya Shinomiya said with a faint smile. She saw through it but wouldn’t say anything; after all, this was between Renz and Masuzu Natsukawa and had nothing to do with her. At most, she was just investigating the truth of the event to satisfy her own curiosity.

"I know who Renz’s wife is," Miyuki Shirogane said, having overheard a few words and realizing that Masuzu Natsukawa and Kaguya Shinomiya didn’t believe the news was true. So, he stepped forward to add, "However, she is indeed a public figure, so it’s perfectly normal for her not to be revealed. Renz-kun said that you’ll all know when the time comes. Can’t you just wait until then?" Miyuki Shirogane spoke fairly.

Renz secretly gave a thumbs-up. Miyuki Shirogane was speaking up for him even though he didn’t know the full situation—he was a good person. And he was right. Everyone would know who it was eventually, so why be so impatient now? Could it be that in this day and age, some people genuinely enjoy watching couples being affectionate and getting a daily dose of ’love-struck couples’ rice bowls’ from public displays of affection?

"I also stand with Renz-kun on this matter. He proposed to her right in front of me," Chika Fujiwara added.

However, Masuzu Natsukawa and Kaguya Shinomiya simply didn’t believe it. The smarter people are, the more suspicious they become. Especially these two, who were not only exceptionally intelligent but also came from wealthy families and had experienced a lot from a young age. Without sufficient evidence, they simply wouldn’t believe it.

"Actually, there’s a simple way to prove the authenticity of Renz-kun’s ’marriage’ without revealing his spouse’s identity," Masuzu Natsukawa’s lips curled into a slight smile; she seemed to have an idea.

"Since you’re married, you must have your wife’s phone number, right?"

"Call her in front of us and put it on speakerphone."

"We promise that even if we recognize your wife’s voice and guess her identity, we swear we won’t spread the news."

"If this is true, then I won’t bother you anymore."

"How about it?"

Identifying someone purely by voice was a rare occurrence. It would only be possible if the person was a very famous public figure. However, Masuzu Natsukawa said this to corner Renz, and since she didn’t believe he was truly married, she hadn’t considered the possibility of her being wrong. This would be a checkmate. No matter how much he talked and joked, without factual basis, a lie would be difficult to maintain.

"That’s a good idea. Speaking of which, I’d also like to hear Renz-kun’s wife’s voice," Kaguya Shinomiya suddenly delivered a backstab. She also didn’t believe Renz was married. Given the chance to investigate, Kaguya wouldn’t miss this opportunity to "hand him a knife."

Renz could certainly have ignored them, but the problem was that human curiosity was endless.

"Alright, since you’re so curious, then I’ll satisfy your curiosity," Renz reluctantly shook his head. He picked up his phone and expertly navigated to his contacts. He prepared to dial a number.

What?!

Kaguya Shinomiya and Masuzu Natsukawa were stunned once again. Director, not following the script again? Wasn’t Renz supposed to be unable to provide proof, then use delaying tactics, talking in circles, and finally changing the subject? Why was he so readily making the call?

No way? Is he really married?!
