472 - First Anniversary Extra Chapter
In the corner of the northern part of the Demon Realm, the Land of Death…… There stood a church. This was the place that had been prepared for today’s event.
Lillywood-san and Life-san worked together to restructure a part of the Land of Death that had been locked up in ice…… It had now been transformed into a place where beautiful flowers bloomed all over the place, making it a beautiful contrast to the icy mountains in the distance.
I think it looked really amazing. The place looked like it would be a very popular tourist attraction.
The reason why Lillywood-san and Life-san had prepared this place…… Yes, it was for my wedding with Isis-san.
In the past, the area near Isis-san’s castle had always been completely devoid of living beings. But that wasn’t the case today…… After all, even though the church may not be as big as Isis-san’s castle, there were still more people in this place that could fit into it.
I guess the marriage of one of the Six Kings really would be a tremendous event, and as the groom, thinking about all the people attending today makes me nervous.
……The wedding I had with Kuro was amazing too…… No, my marriage with Kuro at that time “changed one or two laws of the world”, so compared to that, I think today is still relatively decent.
I don’t know much about it, but there were differences between weddings in this world and those back on Earth.
The biggest difference was that there was no exchange of rings. This world practiced polygamy, and many people had more than 20 wives, which meant they would end up having to wear more rings than they could fit on their fingers.
And since there are so many different species to begin with, some of which don’t have fingers like humans do, exchanging rings doesn’t make sense.
However, it seems that there are people who prefer weddings with similar styles, such as wearing matching accessories, so it couldn’t be said that a wedding like that didn’t exist.
As I pondered about the differences between my previous world and this world, I heard a knock on the door of my room and I was told that the wedding was beginning.
The person in charge…… Heart-san, led me to stand in front of a door.
If it were a normal wedding, Heart-san, the G.o.d who governed Love, would be received very well…… but she was working behind the scenes today.
After all, the Six Kings of the Demon Realm, the three rulers of the Human Realm, the three Supreme G.o.ds of the G.o.d Realm, the G.o.d of Creation herself, and even a G.o.d from another world were attending the ceremony, so Heart-san, who was a low-ranking G.o.d, didn’t even want to enter the venue.
Anyways, the ceremony was about to begin. On Earth, the groom was usually the first one to enter, waiting for the bride to walk down the aisle with her father, but in this world, such a concept didn’t exist.
In this world, the groom and bride would enter through the doors on either side of the church at the same time. They would meet in the center of the church and walk to the altar together to make their vows.
This action apparently symbolized how “two people who have walked separate paths until now will walk the same path in the future”.
When Heart-san gave the signal to open the door, the door opposite mine opened and I saw Isis-san in her wedding dress.
Her dress, which had a white base and some light blue colors and lots of ruffles, looked great on Isis-san, and even though I had seen her try on that dress before, I couldn’t stop looking at it.
At her strong request, she was wearing a crown of flowers on her head, which enhanced her cuteness even more.
As I admired Isis-san’s beauty, I walked forward and met her in the middle of the church. Thereupon, I, the groom, held out my hand to my bride, and Isis-san laid her hand on mine.
Holding each other’s hand, we walked towards the altar with a matching pace. .
After this, there was some resemblance to the wedding format back on Earth. Isis-san and I exchanged vows of our eternal love and a kiss at the altar. Then, we would ring the giant bell set up at the back of the altar together.
Loudly ringing the bell would represent the married couple’s first time working together, hoping their vows would reach Shiro-san, the G.o.d of this world.
Well, it’s just that for today……
[So you’ve finally arrived. Miyama Kaito, Isis Remnant……. Step towards the altar.]
She would certainly hear the bell. I mean, Shiro-san is standing there at the altar, you know!? Or rather, she’s totally playing the role of a priest! Why is it that G.o.d is playing the role of a priest……
When Isis-san and I arrived in front of the altar, Shiro-san nodded her head once, and looked at what seemed to be a script……
[On this wonderful day, we take ourselves out of our usual routines of daily living to witness a unique moment in the lives of Miyama Kaito and Isis Remnant. Today, they join their lives in the union of marriage.]
Did she just botch out most of it!? No, well, the first half of that script would be “giving thanks to the G.o.d of Creation, she who created the world”, so it’s not like the G.o.d of Creation, Shiro-san, could read it out……
[……Kaito Miyama.]
[Ah, yes!]
[Do you take Isis Remnant to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?]
[……I do.]
Although her script was botched, the atmosphere around Shiro-san felt sacred. Even her inflectionless voice felt solemn in this place.
When I pledged my love for Isis-san, Shiro-san nodded once and turned to Isis-san.
[……Isis Remnant.]
[……Yes.]
[Do you take Miyama Kaito to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?]
[……I do.]
Isis-san also firmly pledged her love for me.
[At this moment, the vow of love has been made between Miyama Kaito and Isis Remnant…… Let those who stand here bear witness that the love between these two will never die.]
[ [ Yes. ] ]
Hearing her words, I stood facing Isis-san. Since veils weren’t worn at weddings in this world, I placed my hand on her shoulder.
[……Isis-sa…… No, Isis. I love you. Please continue to stay by my side.]
[……Kaito…… You are my hope…… my beloved…… Please allow me…… to always be by your side…… with smiles on our faces.]
Saying a few words of love to each other, we sealed our vows with each other with a kiss.
We’ve kissed multiple times before, but today’s kiss was special…… The kiss we had today felt strong, and it firmly imprinted itself on my mind.
[…..Well then, both of you, ring the bell of love together as a report to G.o.d of Creation-sama, the G.o.d of this world.]
[…………………]
No, you’re the G.o.d of Creation, remember……? N- No, well, it can’t be helped. Let’s just go with the flow……
Feeling a bit confused, Isis and I approached the large bell at the back of the altar and grasped its cord together.
Looking at each other, we nodded and loudly rang the bell.
[……The bells made wonderful sounds. I’m sure that they’ve reached G.o.d of Creation-sama…… Or rather, I heard it really well. It’s a little too loud for me not to hear it.]
[……Can you please stop with the weird ad-libs?]
Astounded by the outbursts of the airheaded Shiro-san, I held Isis’s hand and moved with her to the altar again.
Then, we would walk down the center aisle together, showing our faces to the people waiting outside, which would end the wedding ceremony.
[……Isis, excuse me.]
[……Eh? ……Wahh……]
I decided to conduct the surprise I had secretly planned…… and carried Isis in a princess carry.
Isis was very light, I can even carry her without using Body Strengthening Magic.
[……Kaito…… I’m happy…… but are you alright? ……Am I not heavy?]
[Isis is as light as a feather. Besides, I’m still a man…… please let me show my bride my cool side once in a while.]
[……Kaito…… has always…… been cool…… Don’t let go of me…… Okay?]
[Of course.]
For a moment, Isis looked worried , but her smile quickly changed to a happy one, and wrapping her hands around my neck, she hugged me tightly.
Feeling her warmth enshrouded in happiness, I walked down the street, surrounded by the applause of everyone that attended.
A little while later, we reached the entrance door, and when the Low-ranking G.o.d in charge of that door opened it for us…… We heard loud cheers from the crowd.
When we went outside, there were people everywhere I looked…… A tremendous number of people had come to our wedding.
[……Isis, can you hear them? Everyone’s cheering.]
[……Unnn…… I can hear them……… It’s like a dream……]
[This isn’t just a dream. It’s a dream that has come true…… A dream that became reality. This scene was achieved by Isis-san…… no, it’s something the both of us achieved.]
[……Unnn!]
The crowds of people weren’t afraid of Isis-san, congratulating us with smiles on their faces.
For Isis-san, it was something she had been wishing for a really long time……
[……I promise you, Isis. I will not let the happiness you feel today fade away. I’ll make you even happier in the future.]
[……I won’t make Kaito…… regret marrying me either…… I will make you happy…… No…… We’ll be happy together.]
[Unnn.]
[……Kaito…… I love you…… I’ve always loved you…… and will always…… always love you.]
[I love you too.]
“Let’s get married”…… The first time I heard those words was the day I met Isis.
At that time, I didn’t think that it would become reality. However, unnn, this is how I feel now.
I’m really glad…… that I was able to make Isis’ words from that time into reality……
The expression on Isis’s face as she waved to the gathered people…… certainly looked like the smile she had in the dream I had…… the smile I’d always wanted to see. It was the smile of a happy bride being blessed by everyone……
However, this wasn’t where it ended. Her dream had certainly come true today…… but this was only the beginning.
Even in the future, Isis-san and I will continue to have dreams, and together, we will make them come true……
~~~ Trinia News Letter ~~
For this episode, I’d like to introduce everyone to “Crystal City”, a city located in the northern area of the Demon Realm. This city is located right next to the land that was called as the Land of Death in the distant past, and is ruled by Death King-sama, Isis Remnant.
This city is also very famous as a tourist attraction, with Blue Crystal Flowers blooming here and there all year round.
Speaking of Death King-sama, she is also famous for being the model for the popular romance novel “The Miracle of the Blue Flower”, and is highly popular as the “member of the Six Kings symbolizing Love”.
Many people give Blue Crystal Flowers to their beloved ones when confessing their love, following Death King-sama’s example.
Death King-sama’s husband, Miyama Kaito-sama…… he’s obviously a famous person who needs no explanation. It is said that Death King-sama occasionally visits Crystal City with Miyama Kaito-sama, and there’s a famous superst.i.tion that if you see them walking side by side, you’ll live a happy love life.
I know that many of you may shrink back before the presence of one of the Six Kings, but don’t worry…… Among the Six Kings, just like Underworld King-sama and World King-sama, she’s a very kind person, so unless you are extremely rude, she’ll greet you with a smile.
Crystal City, ruled by such a kind Death King-sama, is a wonderful place, so please come and visit.
In the next page, I will introduce some of the tourist attractions that can be found in Crystal City.
Isis, who spent many years controlling her magic power of death after her wedding, became known as the member of the Six Kings symbolizing love, due to her harmonious relationship with her husband Kaito and the influence of the romance love story modelled after them.
Just like Lillywood, she ruled the city and became an object of worship in some parts of the world.
She and her husband, Kaito, who was immortal because of the blessing of the G.o.d of Creation, are so close that they are considered as the best couple in the world.
Serious-senpai: […… (No reply, drowning in a sea of sweetness)]
