Bride of the Barrier Master

Saku has declared that he wants Hana to remain his wife, and their once-temporary marriage is now permanent! Will a lavish beach villa and relentless romantic advances be enough for Saku to win her over for real? And after dangerously powerful talismans are stolen from the Association of Practitioners’s custody, Hana must prove once more that she’s up to the task of being the Ichinomiya head’s bride!

Hana is approached by Sae, her old servant from the Ichise home, with a desperate plea to save Hazuki from the fate their parents have forced upon her. Ever since Hana left the family, her relationship with her twin has been frayed—and getting involved could mean sacrificing her new life of freedom. But when a crisis erupts at school, they might have no choice but to work together! Will Hana and Hazuki be able to rekindle their sisterly bond?

Thanks to Hana, Hazuki has freed herself from her wicked parents and is now moving in to the Ichinomiya estate. While Hana is delighted to have her twin sister back, Saku’s brother, Nozomu, seems a bit flustered. Could something be brewing between him and Hazuki? Unfortunately, their peaceful days are cut short when a powerful practitioner named Yukizasa Sankourou assaults Hana in broad daylight, demanding that she divorce Saku! How does Saku know such a dangerous man, and what parts of his own past is he hiding…?

Hana is in for an unpleasant surprise when her parents show up at school to demand she help bolster the Ichises’ status with her powers! Hana won’t comply in a million years, but it does prompt the question: Why is her father so obsessed with the family’s standing in the first place? That isn’t the only threat to Hana’s peace either, as the inscrutable Yukizasa seems to be out for vengeance too—and he’ll even team up with Hana’s parents to get it! How far will a bride have to go to protect herself and her sister?
