^TBH I wouldn't be surprised at all if Marika just pulled that whole boyfriend thing out of her ass as a cheap dodge to Kazami's somewhat obvious interest which she isn't entirely comfortable (or at least doesn't quite know how to cope) with.
While I definitely believe that it could be a lie, I don't think it's for the reason you mentioned. Seriously, Marika doesn't seem as bothered by this situation as she initially claimed. She seems to be rather receptive to the whole dating thing, even if it's a bit much. To her Kazami is doing this as camouflage anyway, so why would she feel "obvious interest" from her? She is an airhead after all and Kazami is a pretty impressive actress.
What could be the actual reason for the lie then? One possibility could be that she is trying to justify to herself that she definitely wants to go back home and isn't happy to be in this world right now.
PS: While we are talking about crazy theories, Marika didn't actually say 'boyfriend'. She only said she is "dating someone". We simply made an assumption that it's a boy, because of her previous attitude towards what is "normal". Mega super shocking plot twist: She is dating a girl in the original world in secret (or reluctantly) and this other world is supposed to make her come to terms with it!
yeah that aint gonna happen
