Ascendance of a Bookworm: Part 1 Vol. 2 - Miya Kazuki, Karuho Shiina, quof

I just finished the first of the two bonus stories, and hoo boy was it a mistake to include it. Otto's "courtship" of Corinna was exactly as creepily sudden and rushed as he made it sound. More so, in some ways - I had thought he'd actually gotten to know her somehow before deciding that she was absolutely the one for him, but no, it was literally love at first sight for him. Three days later, and he'd completely and expensively abandoned his old life just for the chance to marry her. She, by the way, was still considered a minor for six more months. And speaking of minors, I sure hope that talk about hooking up Myne and Benno was some kind of creepy joke. Myne is six, and Benno is probably in his twenties.
