[Vol 2] A Romantic Comedy About Flirting and Getting Married to a Popular Voice Actress Prologue

Prologue

 

March, 2026.

As I lay down on the bed, Ai-chan was directing her beautiful voice toward me.

『Geez! Onii-chan, don’t go all lovey-dovey over other girls! You’re going to marry me, remember!?』

Holding a manga in one hand, Ai-chan read her lines cutely. Listening to her, I wore a silly grin on my face. Meanwhile, a cooling gel sheet was stuck to my forehead.

So, what exactly was going on?

Simply put, Ai-chan was taking care of me because I had come down with a fever.

She cooked meals for me, wiped my body down, and took care of me in all sorts of ways. Once she had finished everything she needed to do, she listened to my request that I was bored and started reading manga aloud for me.

Being read to isn’t something adults usually enjoy all that much. But when it’s your oshi’s voice, that’s a completely different story.

If Ai-chan was the one reading, I could genuinely enjoy it even if it were a picture book for toddlers. Thinking that, I had asked her to read one of my favorite books.

『You idiot, onii-chan… Not even knowing how I feel… But… that part of you is what I like, too…』

With her sweet voice, Ai-chan fully brought out the charm of a tsundere little sister.

Ahh… Ai-chan is breathing life into a work I love…! A manga read aloud by my favorite voice actress… What an outrageously luxurious moment!

“Okay! That’s the end of this volume, Kanata.”

After finishing the reading, Ai-chan closed the book and placed it by my pillow. By the way, that made ten volumes in total.

“Seriously… sorry about this. I’m causing you trouble, and you even read to me…”

“No, it’s fine! You always take such good care of me, both as my husband and my manager! Besides, it’s good practice for my voice acting too. So don’t worry about it, okay?”

Ai-chan said that with a gentle smile. Man… she’s such a thoughtful, wonderful girl…!

I had proposed to Ai-chan about nine months ago. After that, we got married and officially became husband and wife.

Since then, we’ve continued our lives just like before—she as a voice actress, me as her manager—while living together happily as a married couple at home, helping and supporting each other.

“By the way, shouldn’t you get some more sleep? Am I getting in the way?”

“No, it’s fine. I’d rather you stay. I slept quite a bit earlier, so now I’m just bored out of my mind…”

Just lying there doing nothing is surprisingly painful and dull. Rather than being in the way, her presence was a huge comfort. I still had a fever, but my mind was perfectly clear.

“Really? Then… should I read something else for you?”

“Seriously!? Are you sure?”

“Of course! Then next… how about a novel?”

Ai-chan took a paperback from my bookshelf. It was wrapped in a book cover.

“I don’t know what kind of book it is, but I’ll just try reading it for now!”

“Yeah, thanks… I’ll leave it to you.”

Ai-chan opened the paperback and began reading.

“Umm, let’s see… 『Ayano blushed deeply as she let out a coquettish moan. Her large, swollen breasts were firmly grasped by Takumi’s manly hands.』”

…Huh?

“『Just like that, Takumi pushed Ayano down onto the bed. Ayano tried to scream, but she wasn’t even allowed to do that. Takumi stole her lips, preventing her from making a sound.』”

[TLN: "Stole her lips" is a literal translation of 唇を奪い (kuchibiru o ubai) and means "kissed her passionately" or "silenced her with a kiss."]

Eh… what? This text… I’ve got a really bad feeling about this.

“『Takumi’s tongue ravaged the inside of Ayano’s mouth. A deep kiss filled with raw desire from the very start. When he finally broke away, he shamelessly kneaded her breasts. “Ah… nn… stop… Takumi, no…! We’re not… ahh!”』”

No, this is porn! An erotic novel! She’s reading something dangerous──!

Now that I think about it, this was that book I accidentally bought online once! I was too lazy to return it, so I just put a cover on it and left it there… and I’d completely forgotten about it! There’s no way I can let Ai-chan read something like this!

“A-Ai-chan! You don’t need to read that anymore! If you could pick a different book──”

“『Nn… ahh…! That hand feels way too good… squeeze my boobs more…』 Haa… haa…”

Ah, nope. This is bad. Ai-chan has completely gone off the rails. Reading those erotic lines has put her into heat.

Worse still, while reading the lines, she started approaching me.

“『Haa… Kanata-h… Please, touch me…? Do whatever you want with my boobs…』”

“You’re mixing reality and acting again!? W-Wait, Ai-chan! You can’t! I’m seriously sick right now! You’ll catch it if you get any closer—!”

“『Ahh… Kanataa… I can’t… I can’t hold back anymore…!』”

“Nwaah!?”

Ai-chan forcibly hugged me and climbed into the bed. She touched my body, and then guided my hands to touch hers.

In my weakened, feverish state, I had no way to stop the rampaging Ai-chan. She spent her fill of flirting with me, while I, overwhelmed by her passionate advances, ended up running an even higher fever and losing consciousness.

And then, the next day.

When I woke up, a fully sober Ai-chan apologized to me with everything she had.
