Chapter 338 Marriage Concerto

It should have been a presentation of Soma to Valkyra Kingdom, but for some reason, the conversation turned to my marriage with Sophia, Maria, and Marnie.
No, it’s not that I don’t want marriage.
We’re basically already in a de facto marriage.
Still, a proposal is needed, huh.
I was pretty sure that the married higher ups when I was a salaryman said that stuff like that were important too.

 

 

「Sophia, Maria, Marnie, it might be insincere of me to get married to the three of you in one go, but will you marry me?」
「「「Yes.」」」
「Please treat me well for many years to come.」

I called the three of them to a separate room, and proposed to them one by one, and they each gave their answers.

Sophia and Maria who were former slaves were apparently a bit conflicted about whether they could marry me.
And it seems Marnie who would be remarrying was also largely conflicted.
Even so, remarriage isn’t uncommon in this world.
In this world where life is cheap, the widowing of a spouse was a common tale, so naturally, remarriages were aplenty.
Even in my previous life as a salaryman in his 40’s, there was no reason to be averse towards a second marriage.

Having received the “Yes” from the three, I began the preparations for the wedding under the leadership of Akane who was, for some reason, gung ho about it.

「Now then! We’re going home!」
「Home nya!」

At Akane’s command, we departed for Volton City from Margrave Volton’s capital mansion.
Actually, it would have been fine if we teleported, but we couldn’t afford to be found out, so our return trip was also in the carriage that Tsubaki pulled.
However, since we were going separately from Margrave Volton’s and Earl Rockford’s carriages, we travelled fast.
We held back on the speed so as to not endanger the other people travelling on the highway though.

As we passed the Rockford Earldom and reached Volton City at double time, we talked about what needed to be done first.

「Takumi, let’s not go here but to the Sanctuary mansion.」
「Why? Isn’t it fine here too?」

I finally sank into the mansion sofa as I drank the tea brewed by Maria when Akane said that we should go to the Sanctuary mansion instead.

「We have to tell Mimir-chan, and Undine and the Great Spirits are also there.」
「Wait wait wait, rather than the Great Spirits, isn’t Mimir unrelated? And don’t add “chan” to a princess.」

I couldn’t see why Yggurle Kingdom’s Princess Mimir’s name came up.
Moreover, when did Akane and Princess Mimir get close enough to start adding “chan” to their names?

「It’s fine.
That’s how Mimir-chan and I are.
Actually, Mimir-chan and I were talking about how Sophia, Maria, and Marnie-san have to get married to you since a while back.」

「Wha!?」

Ignoring my shock, Akane continued to speak.

「Takumi, your influence doesn’t just stop at Valkyra Kingdom anymore.
The ally Lomaria Kingdom is a given, Yggurle Kingdom, Sophia’s motherland which reveres the Great Spirits, and now you’re even friendly with the Demon Continent.
Moreover, there’s Berkut and the Aligerous Tribe who are emotionally attached to you.
In the Sanctuary, there’s even the Cat Siths and Mermaids that you rescued…… you can’t just have a normal wedding.」
「E, umm, well, that…」

When Akane reiterated so, it seems it would become an outrageous wedding even with only family and friends.

「Hey, you understand, don’t you? That’s why we have to talk to Mimir-chan and the others.
Oh yeah, let’s call Berkut while we’re at it.
And then, let’s also invite Queen Fraal and Ryuka-chan.」
「Wait, hold up.
Is it fine to add “chan” even to Ryuka-san?」

This time, Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san’s names suddenly came up so forthrightly, but she adds “chan” even to Ryuka-san.

「You’ll go bald if you mind the small things.」
「I won’t go bald!」

How rude.
I’ll have you know that when I was a salaryman in my 40’s, my hair was still thick.
And this is the body made by Norn-sama.
It won’t go bald, now would it?

「If you get it then let’s get to the Sanctuary mansion! The old dwarven men that you’re friendly with are there, so you’ll be able to discuss the alcohol to be served at the wedding too.」

Sure, Doganbo-san was someone had been associating with ever since the I started living in Volton City when I was learning to handle magic metals.
I had no choice but to invite him to the wedding.

Then, I remembered the very first people that had taken care of me when I came to this world.
I’d be really happy to be congratulated by Vanga-san, Martha-san, Bobon-san and the other villagers from Bohd Village.

Thinking so, it seemed like it was impossible to have just a small wedding……
