Chapter 5 Reunion And Cheers
Next, I need to talk with Zect, who is involved in the marriage plans.
I want to see Shizuko-san and the others right away, but it's better to talk with Zect first about what to do next for the wedding.
Depending on that, it might give someone false hope again.
But it's really a hassle.
If I weren't in this situation, I could just celebrate and be done with it.
Having a position like this makes it harder to move freely.
If there's a next time, I don't want to be a god; I want to be reborn as a villager and live a normal life.
I have to go see my childhood friend, and I need to be careful about my surroundings.
It's really troublesome.
"It's been a while! Zect!"
"Yeah, Ceres."
It's been a long time since I last saw my childhood friend.
Just from hearing rumors, I feel like Zect has become quite impressive.
As you grow up, your face changes too, huh.
Unlike before, I feel like he's gotten a sharper face.
"You've become quite impressive. Your dad must be really happy."
"What do you mean, Dad? S-stepfather...? I see, that Dad then."
"No, I was just teasing... you can keep calling me Ceres like before."
"If that's the case, that's good... I almost called you 'papa' for a moment!"
Maybe because it's been a while since we last talked, but I feel very nostalgic.
"I don't like that."
"Just joking, don't worry about it! And like I wrote in the letter, I want to take responsibility and truly get married this time! That's why I have something to discuss."
"Yeah, you have to take responsibility. Besides, Zect, you did all those things to show off to me! Of course! You show-off."
"Ceres, that's going too far! Even if you're a good friend..."
"Hey, Zect might be forgetful, but when I passed by, the door was open, and I peeked in──then I saw Maria and Lida playing on your lap, naked, right? When you saw me, you gave a V-sign, right?"
"What are you talking about."
Haha, Zect is sweating.
"'I don't mind if I loosen up, but don't cross the line'──when I warned you, that night Mel was covering for you, and when I got flustered, you backed away and showed me with your mouth that you were saying 'Oops,' right?"
I could talk about this all day.
"Well, it's enough, could you stop? It was my youthful mistake. That's embarrassing, please forget about it already."
"Well, I won't say it anymore. If you take responsibility as a man, there is no problem, so what will you do about it?"
"As for me, I want to hold a somewhat grand ceremony! Marin is a princess after all."
Well, that's obvious.
"Then I also consulted a little, and it seems that Ishtas-sama will appear at the wedding, and I will conduct it. Also, it looks like the Black Dragon from the Underworld, Bauer-sama, and the Dragons will attend."
"Huh!?"
Of course, he'd be surprised, right?
Since a god will attend...
"Since I will attend, and Zect was a Hero, it's not strange at all, right?"
His face started to turn pale, and his eyes began to dart around.
Because he's a close friend, I can understand this expression.
This is Zect's face when he's trying to run away.
"Yeah, about the ceremony... I'll leave it to you, Ceres."
"Hey... that's not right, is it? I can help, but the seating arrangement and guests, Zect, you have to handle that, right?"
"Just think about it... Gods, demons, and even Dragons involved, and you want me to do what? Even just thinking about the guest list, I don't know what to do anymore."
"Certainly..."
"In that case, I'll have to get you, no, Ceres, to think about it somehow, or it will be unmanageable."
Is this already unavoidable...
"Got it. I'll handle the marriage and ceremony! But no complaints afterwards."
"Sorry..."
Well, it's fine.
"Yeah, it's fine! In the end, I returned to my original spouse. That's how it is! Speaking of which, Luna-chan, right? I don't know her."
"She's cute. She's my head concubine."
"I see... if it's settled like that, there's no problem. But, is it okay?"
"What do you mean?"
"I heard she's quite young..."
"You shouldn't worry about her age; noble children's marriages are also a thing."
"No, it's not like that. Since Princess Marin is the legal wife, it's fine, but if you say that the girl Luna becomes an adult after the contract, the nights won't happen for a few years, right? The head concubine doesn't do it, and other concubines can't contract, so it would be after that with the Lida and the others, right? Is it okay to make them wait for a few years? By any chance, are you actually into young girls... planning to do it with a young child?"
"Wrong, you old lech, I'll wait properly, and I've explained it to everyone else too."
"An old lech, huh? Remember that! I'll tell Shizuko-san, so watch out."
"Please stop that! Mom is really scary, you know."
"Shizuko-san is very kind and beautiful!"
"Well, it's fine... I don't want to hear a lively conversation with mom if you go and mess up, so let's end it here. To our long-awaited reunion, a toast."
"Cheers."
The sake shared with a long-time drinking friend... tasted very delicious.
