Had trouble telling who was talking at a few points.

Yeah, it's not really clear. It would help if the author marked the speech bubbles in some way (e.g. a tiny hat for Shinmyoumaru's, and a tiny horn for Seija's).

That aside, this story is really cute. And inventive. I've never seen such a "trick my love interest into marriage" plot where the tricked person remained clueless about having entered into a marriage despite very obvious signs due to highly improbable ignorance of a key fact.

Honestly this can be the one of the possible ending to Vector Spectacle (https://dynasty-scans.com/series/vector_spectacle) when Shinmyoumaru finally corners Seija and the incident somehow gets resolved with no one wishing to hunt Seija anymore. After which they both end up together, making the Shining Needle Castle their home. They become lovers that live together in the castle as their home, with the rest of the characters having already approved of them (especially Reimu).

IDK really it can be one of the possible routes the author can take.

Nonetheless this is a really cute story : )
