Chapter 1 - There's a Very Complicated Reason to Marry a Childhood Friend... (Part 5)

The seasons are changing and it's time to wear the short-sleeved summer school uniform.

In the blink of an eye, it will be time for the first semester's final exam of grade 12, in other words, the summer vacation will begin soon.

Although the greatest enemy called exams is near, everyone still feels restless.

Everyone must be thinking about summer vacation, where is the best place to play during summer vacation?

However, the summer vacation of third-year high school students should be a preparatory stage to work towards their respective goals.

How you spend this time will definitely have a big impact on your future direction.

Of course it is impossible to fully enjoy this summer vacation in fun...

But I don't think it's a good idea to give yourself a little relaxation and rest, this summer.

「Since I'm already in the third-year class, I don't have much time for hang-outs anymore, so I'd better enjoy this summer vacation by having fun, going to the beach, or mountains, etc., and staying there at night. ...」Tanaka, my handsome classmate, revealed his plan like that.

Grade 12 students also have a lot to consider on the way to university. The time for fun this time is also very short and limited.

That's why I'm worried about how I use this limited time to do meaningful things.

「How to handle the cost?」

Sato, a friend close to me, started to worry about how to earn money.

But I don't think there should be much problem with the cost.

「If you still have money, let's go somewhere to play, shall we? That's fine. Indeed, I also feel that this opportunity comes once in a lifetime. There should be no problem with Tanaka being the proposer. What do you think, Sato?」

「I don't know. This year, it's better to go out a little. Ah, sensei is here.」

Although our discussion wasn't finished yet, Sensei came and entered the classroom, so we all returned to our seats.

Sensei was standing at the podium, and in the middle of the short class meeting, I suddenly remembered in my mind--

By the way, every time I looked into Suzuka's eyes today, I felt like she was going to grin for no reason.

I wanted to make sure this feeling of my own was true, so I looked at Suzuka again.

After seeing my face, Suzuka's face turned gloomy.

Hmm... her expression was indeed rather disgusting.

And also, I don't know what's going on. What is going on here? That expression, no matter how you look at it, it feels a little scary.

In the end? What is going on?

———Scene Change———

Regardless of whether the class meeting before school was over or not, Suzuka suddenly patted my back.

「Come to my house first, before you go home！」

「What has happened. You're really a little strange today?」

「Fufu,... I'll keep it a secret from you for now！」

「A quick stop by your house will be enough, right?」

「Yes！」

So I went back together with Suzuka after school, I haven't visited her family home for a long time, and I also haven't entered in Suzuka's room for a long time.

Well, I met Suzuka's mother, whom I called Oba-san.

She was still as beautiful as before, and her beauty in the previous years had not disappeared at all.

There are no wrinkles on her face, and her body is slender like a model.

If her mother walked around with Suzuka, her mother would definitely be recognized as her older sister.

The secret of her youth is actually very simple, it is said that she hopes that her husband can always see her beauty forever.

「Ouch, it's so rare. Yuuki-kun stopped by our house.」

「Hello, Oba-san, long time no see」

「Haha, how did you become so polite this time? You can call me without the suffix, okay? And don't call me Oba-san, just call me Suzuka's mom just like before.」

「Ahahaha......」

「So, what did you come here today for?」

Suzuka's mom eyes lit up with curiosity.

Auntie was very interested in the relationship between me and Suzuka for a long time, and even asked, "When are you two going on a date?"

Actually, I rarely went to Suzuka's house now, or rather Suzuka and her family's house. Therefore, Auntie misunderstood, thinking that my relationship with Suzuka had developed. When I come here to play around.

「I only brought her here because I have something important to say to her. Okay, mom, you can step aside first. Oh, and mom also doesn't need to bring juice and snacks, okay?"」

「Okay, I won't bother you two. So Yuuki-kun, enjoy your time together.」

So I said goodbye to Auntie and walked up the stairs to Suzuka's room.

Suzuka's room was filled with a faint fragrant smell, seemingly to prove and want others to know that Suzuka's dream was to become a Mangaka just by looking at her room, there were many otaku items found in her room.

Before I say my sadness about【It's been a long time since I've been here】 Suzuka took out her passbook from the drawer.

「Tada~! Although I completely forgot before, but after I recalled it, when I checked the number, I found that the lottery ticket I bought with you won the prize！」

「Huh, that reminds me of the lottery ticket we bought together, right?」

I looked at the passbook from Suzuka's hand and looked at the balance column.

After all, the balance amount was only 5000 Yen.

Then, Suzuka would deliberately exaggerate, with the intention of hoping first, and then she would see my disappointment

So, I indifferently looked at her passbook to confirm it...

Well, then I'll take a look.

One Yen, Ten Yen, One Hundred Yen, One Thousand Yen, Ten Thousand Yen, One Hundred Thousand Yen, One Million Yen, Ten Million Yen...

「Hundred million Yen, One billion Yen! ?」

「How is it, isn't it great? Since I wanted to surprise you, I went to claim the prize early myself！」

「This can't be... no, this must be absolutely impossible!」

I clenched my fist at the passbook, slightly pleased.

Because according to my agreement with Suzuka, I can get half of the reward.

「Hohohoho, this idiot Yuuki. Just accept the lottery ticket that I'm going to give you like an adult. It was a wrong decision to say that everyone will get half！」

「Stop. After all, that amount of money is too big.」

「As expected of my very good childhood friend. By the way, are you surprised? Hey, are you surprised?」

「I'm very surprised to know. Well, I will have to split half of the reward with you....」

Huh? No, wait a minute.

Could it be that the current situation is... perhaps, a bit bad?

「Hey this is the winning certificate, Yes, it's very real, unexpectedly, I won the lottery prize.」

「Ah, ah ah...」

I glanced at the winning certificate, and my name wasn't written there either.

Ah, if that's the case, is it really possible that it won't work?

「You don't look so good, are you alright?」

Although I understand that Suzuka who first went to receive her gift, and then surprised me.

Suzuka just wanted to surprise me, not to run away with the money without saying a word.

Seeing her smile, with the expression of my childhood friend【How surprised are you, right?】, I saw that there was a problem, and my mood instantly turned bad.

「Wait a minute, I didn't expect that if we won the grand prize of the lottery it would be so dangerous！」

「Is it really that dangerous?」

I said to the still careless and naive Suzuka, who still didn't realize the seriousness of this matter.

「Well, I don't know the details, but there is a prize tax on this lottery, right?」

「Oh? What's a prize tax?」

「Well, wait a minute. I just found out that if you want to give money to other people you have to pay tax, other than that I don't know much」

We both took out our phones and started googling about gift tax.

Gift tax seems to be a tax incurred when property is acquired from others. The tax rate is very high, and the tax is calculated in such a way that the more property you acquire, the more tax you have to pay. If the gift acquired exceeds 30 million, it is even necessary to pay up to 55% of the tax.

Also, the person who needs to pay the gift tax is the party receiving the gift. In other words, I have to pay this tax.

Then if I get 500 million Yen from Suzuka at once, it means I have to pay a considerable tax to the country.

Of course, to prevent this from happening, if you buy lottery tickets together, there are suitable ways to avoid paying taxes.

If two or more people buy a lottery ticket together and win the lottery prize, they can write everyone's name on the winning certificate and determine the distribution ratio.

However, the current situation is that the prize has already been received.

Although it was a lottery ticket purchased by two people, it is now difficult to redeem it afterwards.

I'm basically 100% sure that I'll have to pay a high prize tax.

Holding my head, I conveyed the message to Suzuka, whose expression was confused. 

「Maybe it's worse than I expected... If I get 500 million Yen directly from Suzuka, it is expected that more than the half of it will be handed over to pay taxes?」

「Eh? Will more than half of it be lost?」

「It seems so」

「Could we have made a mistake? ......」

「No, I don't think it will be much less.」

Although I was very happy about winning the lottery, the sudden accident made both of our faces turn pale.

Suzuka's hand and lips trembled, looking into my eyes for help.

「What, what should I do?」

「Well, calm down first」

「Even if you say that, how can I calm down... Hey, what should I do?」

「There is no other way but to pay high taxes. Wait a minute, if you want to reduce the tax cost, you can give me my reward little by little right?」

「So if I want to give you 500 million Yen without paying tax fees, how long will it take?」

「Well, let me think about it first, because if you give me less than 1.1 million in one year, no taxes will be charged....」

「That would take another 454 years?」

Although Suzuka didn't understand what the gift tax was about, Suzuka, who had a very quick mind, quickly gave her answer.

「In other words, I will die at least five times.」

「Yu, Yuuki, are you angry？」

「A little. But after all, it's about both of us. What has happened cannot be changed. there is no way」

「Hmm... sorry. Because of my mistake. ......」

「Don't worry too much. If you hadn't said you wanted to buy a lottery ticket, I wouldn't have been able to get a single Yen either, Now I'm so grateful that we've won the lottery.」

「But......」

「It's okay, stop crying」

While comforting Suzuka, who almost fainted from crying, my own breathing became uncomfortable.

When I'm about to earn a huge amount of money, I'm also about to lose so much money because of a small mistake...

Reluctance gradually swelled in my heart, excitement and reluctance mixed together, and my mind became a mess.

I felt that this wasn't something Suzuka and I could solve.

There might be various traps waiting for us to step on them elsewhere. The best way now is to find a trustworthy adult and let him help us to resolve the current situation. In short, it is better to consult with Suzuka's mother first.

The door to the room opened.

Then, I saw Auntie open her mouth in surprise, and she fell to the floor.

「What are you doing?」

「My daughter brought Yuuki-kun over here after not stopping by for a long time, and because I was a little worried, so I didn't expect I would hear such a big thing, and now I'm a little confused.」

「Eh, something like that」

「Is my daughter messing things up?」

「Very messed up」

「I apologize. Because of my daughter....」

「So, what to do next? Suzuka and I really don't know how to solve it, so now I'm thinking whether to discuss it with Auntie for a while.」

「Well, that means you want to split the gift evenly between two people on the basis of not paying gift tax, right?」

Since Auntie heard our conversation, it was helpful that we didn't have to try to explain it again.

「Good. Although there are other things I want to ask, this is the most important question right now.」

Mrs. Suzuka also began to think in distress.

Silently closing her eyes, she began to think hard about what to do while reading something in her mouth.

After tens of seconds, Mrs. Suzuka made an extraordinary proposal to us.

「Why don't you guys just get married?」

「What？」「eh？」

Suzuka and I both made surprised sounds at the same time.

I wanted to ask【Why do we have to get married?】before, auntie quickly gave her explanation.

「If it's family, as long as it's considered the money necessary for the two of you to live together, there will be no gift tax. Because of the gift tax, the two of you will definitely fight over how to divide the gift, so if you get married, there will be no problem in terms of gift tax. In that case, the gift can be jointly owned to a certain extent.」

「Seriously, are you kidding?」

「Yes, that's right! Mom! Are you kidding!」

「If you guys want to split the prize, you'll definitely have a hard time. So if you guys don't need to split the gift, it's very easy to solve, right? And it wouldn't involve gift tax either, right? How can this be a joke? I'm thinking hard too!」

「Pretending to be married...isn't that the same as those tax evaders? ......」

「Ara-Ara~, don't talk about pretending. Don't you two like each other? The fact that the two of you were surprised that you liked each other.」

「If you have to ask if Suzuka is okay, then she won't be okay.」

「Then, it doesn't matter. Yuuki-kun also clearly rejected Fuyuka's confession many times, but when Suzuka confessed to you, Yuuki-kun said that you were fine. Isn't this that you like Suzuka? Mmmm, so even though you two are married now, it's just a normal marriage, and not some nonsensical thing like pretending to be married!」

Regardless of the love affair that the aunt engineered for us without permission, thinking carefully about the plan proposed by the aunt...

Huh? Isn't that the best solution?

As a family, since we would be living together, Suzuka would not be involved in the gift tax whether it was paying my tuition or daily necessities. But, it's all included in the scope of living expenses.

Although there were many obstacles, it was indeed a good solution.

「If you want to give Yuuki-kun 500 million Yen, at least it would require more than 1 billion Yen......」

Suzuka used her cell phone to search for more detailed information about the gift tax, and her face became even paler.

Indeed, as Auntie said, if Suzuka and I really wanted to split the gift, we might indeed be caught in the vortex of conversion.

Perhaps it would have been a bloody (?) competition about the gifts.

And, at this stage, that's very bad for me

Even if Suzuka escapes with her lotto prize, I also don't have any proof that the lotto ticket was indeed bought by two people, even if I were to use the law, I would probably lose.

Maybe Suzuka will change her mind and run away with the prize.

If Suzuka suddenly disappeared from me, I would definitely chase her to the ends of the earth with regret.

But if we get married, now all my worries will disappear.

If I marry Suzuka and live under the same roof, I can get my money without paying the gift tax.

I can also let Suzuka help me pay for rent, food, water and electricity bills, and other living expenses.

Although cars and the like were not in my own name, I could use cars in Suzuka's name freely.

But then again, we have to get married...... No, am I going to marry Suzuka?

When I was thinking something so stupid, Suzuka suddenly stood in front of me

「Although, although I have many flaws, but please, please help me more.」

「You, you're too casual. Do you really think so?」

「If I want to give Yuuki 500 million Yen, then I also have to give you more than 1 billion Yen. I can't do it because of the gift tax. In that case, my money will be completely spent. So why don't we just get married to Yuuki? Because I also want to have more money!」

Suzuka really seems to look very confused.

Even if it takes a few years to reward me little by little, even though the tax may be smaller, I still have to pay part of the money.

And if it takes years to give me her gift, there's a good chance that the two of us will fight in the middle of the road over the division of her gift.

「No problem. As a newlywed, I will try very hard to maintain a good relationship with Yuuki! So, how about it?」

Deep in my heart as the opposite sex【I've also considered】living with girls together.

If I reject Suzuka, there will be a fight at the end, but I just feel that there is no way to end this matter so easily.

I want to maintain good relationship with Suzuka as it is now.

--But if there's a dispute over the gift, our relationship could change later.

If I think about it like this, there's probably only one thing I need to do.

「Let's try to get married today. I feel that this is more beneficial for me.」

「Really? You can also tell me quickly and give me money, okay?」

「I won't do outrageous things. Anyway, because of that, because I don't want to argue with you. Then if I marry you... it doesn't seem like a bad thing.」

「So, it's decided....」

We complied with the decision together.

If I get married, I can live in the house Suzuka bought, and I can also drive the car Suzuka bought. Although the original holder of it is still Suzuka, basically I can use it freely.

Although it might be ridiculous, it was the only way to make the hard-earned reward worth one Yen.

In this way, I don't know how it turned into a situation where Suzuka and I would get married.
