Black Summoner

Episode 303: Wedding Rituals

- Delamis Cathedral

Late at night, Delamis Cathedral gives silver a brilliant moonlight and a sense of mystical beauty. The interior of the cathedral is quiet enough to hear bugs from the outside from time to time. I suppose there's some consideration for allowing a Delamis witch to concentrate on prayer, but I guess it's too quiet for me. I miss it if I don't have some living noise.

"- So, what did you just say?

"Sounds like you don't pretend to hear it anymore. Ladies and gentlemen, let's have a ceremony."

"Of what?

"Of marriage."

Well, I'm getting a headache. If someone suddenly asks me if I have time in my room, what kind of joke would it be to have a going-away ceremony? I did say I would have a ceremony. But that means we'll do it, we'll settle down somewhat, and then we'll all be together. If you only treat Melfina preferentially, you're going to break that promise. And my life is in danger.

"You know, Melfina. As I said before..."

"Dear Sir. You're headed to the land of Naraya (Abyss Land), to rival the Apostle and Elealis, right?

…… Oh, I'm going to. "

"Is there even any sign of getting lost? I knew it, but it's a lump of factors that make you happy."

Melfina sighs small and looks me in the eye from the front. Illuminated by the light of the moon to be given out of the repaired windowsill, Mel seemed so beautiful that she did not think of herself as an earlier belly peco goddess.

"Elealis is probably obsessed with me. I don't know if that's because of vengeance or resentment. It's horrible just to imagine what means to choose. But let me promise you, as God in charge of rebirth, I will protect you all. I don't care what happens to me... so..."

"- So now it is?

Intentions similar to determination and vows are carried in pale eyes. That's a very strong thought, warm. On the other hand, however, it seems that you can read the heartfelt loneliness that makes you feel from this cathedral…

"You, you're such a big flag. Who's looking like that? Step through the mines. If you're gonna go with that temper from the start, you're never gonna, are you?

"... absolutely?

"Absolutely"

"... no, is that it?

"Don't let the goddess drain your nose about anything you can't do to moisturize your eyes! Involve your tickets!

Hurry up and take out the handkerchief, and I'll wipe your nose. Be mine to see you move from a twitchy, riddled look to a crying face. I thought it was a declaration of protection by raising the will of iron, but you're too naïve, goddess. It is also brittle.

"Ugh, gush"

"Look, it's okay. It's okay."

But it was surprising that Mel came up on the subject at this time. That seems serious too, and I mean it. Can I just say no? In the case of this goddess, I will definitely mess with you. Even for me, the aftertaste is bad.

"I'm telling you, I'm not going to go punch them in the base until I sacrifice you, am I? We'll do it. We'll all survive. This is the absolute condition. If that's not possible, I'll give up."

"... you the battle freak?

"I'm a rational warrior. Don't be with Azglad."

That's something that you can tell right away if you put it on the scale. There's no such thing as a wild clash between reason and madness. I'm the one who gets along well with both sides. At least that's what I think of myself. So stop the suspicion.... That's what you can think, isn't it? That's okay, right? You don't think this guy's gonna say anything different if he's in a fight, do you?

"Cohon! Uh, okay? I don't know about the spirit of self-sacrifice. A battle that doesn't fall into your heart is a wish. In order to do it, try to make sure I can fight clear. Me and Melfina will survive. That's it!"

"... xoxo, what you're saying is impotent."

"That's okay. I'm on my own."

I think Mel's expression has softened a little. I always thought this guy was too much of a difference between relaxing and tightening. If it's normal, I want life to be merry, and I want you to rely more on your people at times like this.

"I want my sleeping minister cured at last."

"Huh?"

"Oh, no, this is nothing"

The voice of my heart came out. Danger. Danger.

"Well, what is it? If I can do that, can I hang out with you for, like, pre-practice the ceremony?

"True!?

"Ooh. I promise."

I am slightly surprised by Melfina, who suddenly turns a blind eye and becomes a true face. Why? Mines should have dodged, but my spine feels frozen. You even reacted to my hazard detection skills?

"I took the word! Colette!"

"Yes, Master Mel! I also hear it in these ears!

"... what?

Colette appeared from behind the altar of the cathedral and with her face. It is not a regular witch's garment, it is a formal garment that seems to have a high format. Her surroundings are stretched with transparent junctions, and even if she shows up, she can't trace the signs. This is - The Witch's Secret!?

"Unlimited! In a way that's actually close! Perform a pre-ceremonial exercise. Don't worry about it. The ceremonial etiquette in your knowledge and it doesn't change that much."

"I will serve as a priest while I cross the border. There is no more joy in singing such a great role."

"I will not be humbled. It's you that I want you to do. Did you know that, sir? We were told that the wizards of Delamis would seize the happiness of a perpetual robbery."

"Wait, wait, wait..."

The two of us are making steady progress, but my understanding hasn't kept up. I mean, hey, Mel. What happened to the vibe that was so serious just now? Was it a planting? Was it a planting?

"Oh, you suspect?

"Don't read your mind."

"Heh heh, I really uncovered the inside of my chest. As a result, I have learned that you also really think of me, and I am very satisfied. This is a reward for your hard work."

It's strange how I treat you as a reward.

"Well, don't look like that. Stay with me a little longer. It's a little farce."

"... I get it. I'm the one who promised. It's getting worse."

Then, under Colette's progression, we were to conduct a ceremonial pre-drill. Looks like we're all set, and we even have an engagement ring. True authenticity, not faux of course. I'm afraid that Colette has given up the power of a witch or that a tremendous amount of magic is being unleashed. I'm afraid of something even though I'm holy. I've been carrying it around and giving my strength all four or six hours, you don't say, do you?

The flow of ceremonies that had begun did not confuse me with the exchange of rings by stating the words of vows and what was common in Japan. No, it's the first time I've done it, so I'm nervous. But the real difficulty came from here.

"Now kiss my vows"

I was wondering if I would do that. By the way, I've never kissed Melfina before. You're sleeping in the same bed, but in the opposite order? Tell that to the goddess.

"Dear Sir..."

To this bright-faced goddess.

I thought the kiss with Mel tasted like sweets, but that didn't happen. No, I think it was sweet somehow, but isn't that sweet? And soft, no, I'm only in love, so let's save this.

The ceremony then proceeded without delay, and the prep practice was quickly completed. Sometimes there wasn't a reception, but seriously, time flies fast. As far as I'm concerned, I'm glad it's all over, but on the other hand, I'm having a stomachache wondering if Effil and the others will find out about this later. Still, if Mel's feeling better.

"Well, that brings the prep to a successful conclusion. It's too late, and it's dissolved -"

"Master Kelvin, what are you talking about? It's not over yet, is it?

"Huh?"

"... right. The key rehearsal is not over yet."

Colette tilting her neck in wonder and the red melfina still on her face. What are you talking about? I'm sure the ceremony is over.

"From now on in my bedroom, Master Kelvin and Mel's first -"

"Wait! No more pre-practice on the boulders!

It's the real deal! And why is it your bedroom!?

"It's okay! Soundproofing in my room is perfect! Whatever you do, it won't leak!

"Where does that confidence come from... and that's not the problem"

"Ladies and gentlemen, if I am short, I will also have a collet..."

"Pleasure!

"Chi... ugh!

I just realized that Mel is in a hell of a state of tension. Mel doesn't know what he's going to do now, just like he wiped out the Demon King in the blindfold. If fanatics (Colette) were added to that, chaos (chaos) would be the only way to go.

"Dear Mel, Mr. Kelvin apparently has a different taste"

"Again, my charm..."

"That can't be! They're opposed to heading to the bedroom!...... Hah!

…… No way......!

Two people who flashed something look at me.

"" Here!?

No...
