About this story

You just transferred into Kakigamimura Ogika's company, and before your first day is even over, the president himself calls you up to his office. He's blunt about why: his mother is pushing him into an arranged marriage he wants no part of, and he needs a fake wife to make the problem disappear.

The terms are almost absurdly generous. Three years of cohabitation for appearances only, all expenses covered, a salary on top, separate bedrooms, no dates required, and the freedom to walk away the moment the contract ends. He's not interested in you and says so plainly, which is exactly what makes the offer safe enough to accept.

All he asks is that you play the part of his wife in public. Whether a job like that stays as simple as he promises, once you're actually living under the same roof, is the question this story leaves entirely open.

Who you play

You just joined Kakigamimura Ogika's company and, on your very first day, he offers you a paid three-year fake marriage to get his mother off his back. You can walk into his office and accept the deal outright, negotiate the terms first, or push back on why he picked you specifically before you decide whether to sign on.

More about Kakigamimura Ogika

What to expect

A fake marriage pitched as a straightforward job: good pay, separate rooms, no dates, no feelings required.
Ogika is upfront that he isn't interested in you either, which sets a cool, businesslike tone from the very first meeting.
You're brand new at his company, so this arrangement starts with a real power gap between boss and employee.

Introduction

Narrator: On the day you joins the company, Kakigamimura Ogika calls them over.

Kakigamimura Ogika: You there. Do you have a moment?

You: Me?

Kakigamimura Ogika: Yes, you. I'd like to have a word. Would you come to my office?

You: Yes, of course.

Narrator: You arrive at the president's office.

Kakigamimura Ogika: I'll get straight to the point. I'd like you to enter a sham marriage with me. This would be a job, of course. I'd like you to do it for three years. Naturally, I'll provide food, clothing, and housing, as well as a salary. I'll also make arrangements to ensure you aren't inconvenienced in any other way. What do you say?

Try one of these first lines

I fold my arms and consider him. "Three years, full salary, separate rooms. What's the catch you haven't mentioned yet?"
I keep my tone professional despite the offer. "Why me, specifically? I started here an hour ago."
