When My Doorbell Rang at 5am, I Got a Wife - Chapter 34: I can't help but get excited when I hear the term "extra-legal measures."

Chapter 34: I can’t help but get excited when I hear the term “extra-legal measures.”

“First, in terms of the overall flow going forward, we will have Erika-san acquire Japanese nationality through naturalization from a certain third country through ‘extra-legal measures.'”

“Extra-legal measures”?! That’s amazing, too amazing! I never thought that such a cool technical term would be used in my life!

I couldn’t hide my excitement upon hearing that extremely powerful word.

After all, it’s “extra-legal measures”!

In this rule-of-law state, Japan, where the country itself should follow the law, it’s a special illegal act that goes beyond the provisions of the law!

Isn’t that super cool?

It’s an absolutely incompatible super-ultra-powerful word for a thirty-something unemployed man!

I feel sad saying this myself!

“Thank you for your kindness, Hinagiku-san.”

While I was excited, Erika calmly bowed her head.

(Damn it, Erika, the super-elite otherworldly transferer, doesn’t even care about such a great word as “extra-legal measures.” She’s on a completely different level from me, who’s all excited…)

“After that, normally, you would be registered in the family register by submitting a naturalization application, but we at the Ministry of Justice will take care of all those things on your behalf, so please don’t worry. You two don’t need to do anything special.”

“Really? Thank you, Hinagiku-san, that’s a big help.”

“Hmm, hmm, so it’s true that fortune comes to those who sleep. I appreciate your kindness.”

With nationality and a family register, Erika will become a genuine Japanese citizen.

And they’ll take care of all the troublesome procedures for us.

To be honest, if I were suddenly told to apply for naturalization, I wouldn’t have a clue where to start.

I’d probably start by searching the internet for how to do it.

But even if I found it, it’s a different story whether I can actually do it.

Government application forms are incredibly complicated…

I was impressed by Hinagiku-san’s proposal, thinking, “She’s truly a civil servant, one of the strongest statuses.”

But I couldn’t agree with her next words.

“So, for now, the two of you are a couple, right?”

“No, we’re not!” “Yes, we are!”

We looked at each other’s faces after reflexively saying opposite answers.

Erika immediately made a “hmm” face.

“It’s about time, Tooru. You should give up. It’s just a matter of sooner or later.”

“But we’ve only known each other for about 24 hours.”

The plot has been so intense, and Erika has been very friendly, closing the distance between us, that it feels like we’ve known each other for a long time, but we’ve only known each other for one day.

(It really doesn’t feel like that at all. I wonder if Erika and I are on the same wavelength? In that sense, we might get along well if we got married.)

“But we had sex, right?”

“Ugh…”

“We’ve had sex multiple times, even though we’ve only known each other for about 24 hours, right?”

“Well, yeah, but even if that’s the case, I still think marriage is a more serious thing, as I said yesterday.”

“Is that so? I’ve heard that in Japan, you can get married just by submitting a marriage notification.”

“So there are things like fake marriages to deceive the world, or masked couples, and even separate living within the family.”

“You really know everything…”

I muttered, a little exasperated, at Erika’s breadth of knowledge.

Was your previous life Hanekawa-san, who knows everything?
