The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 633 The Wedding (Part Two)

The wedding venue was chosen to be Axel.

As members of the Crimson Demon Clan, it's puzzling that their wedding wasn't held in the Crimson Demon Village, but rather in Axel. However, this seems to be a tradition of the Crimson Demon Clan, after all...

There is no church in the Scarlet Devil Village.

Perhaps because the creator of the Crimson Demon Clan, Old Deng, was Ritsumoto himself, he also brought over the Western wedding ceremony—I thought it would be Ritsumoto's Pure School.

The location was chosen as the largest church in Axel—the Cathedral of the Holy Eris.

Aqua naturally denied it vehemently and tried to use her status as a clergyman to blackmail Axel into changing the church to an Axis church. However, Axel did not have a church that could accommodate a large number of guests.

Ultimately, Axis doesn't even have chapels, does it?
For several days in a row, the town was as lively as during a festival. Even though Zun Zun and his friends didn't spend any money to promote it, everyone else was spreading the news that the hero was getting married, and the town was filled with a joyous atmosphere.

Those present were almost all prominent figures from the kingdom or even neighboring countries, or adventurers and friends who were close to the Venerable.

The bride and groom didn't come, so everyone was quite relaxed.

"Hey Kazuma, do you think Zun Zun will prepare a lavish feast for us after the wedding ceremony? To be honest, I haven't eaten anything since last night, and my stomach is growling."

"...Stop joking, you silly goddess! Hurry up and go back. Isn't your job to be a priest who recites vows? Don't mess things up when you're working later...Wait a minute, you wouldn't do this on purpose, would you? After all, you didn't choose the church of the Axis Church."

"I would never do that! What kind of person do you take me for?!"

Aqua said this angrily.

Kazuma Sato looked at her with suspicion, his eyes filled with strong distrust, after all, this guy always messed up at crucial moments.

"Marriage..."

Darkness felt a little conflicted. This was her second time here, but this time she was a guest, not a bride.

Suddenly, he placed two hands on her shoulders.

"Kazuma, Aqua..."

"Don't be sad, widow, virgin, bitch, Niss. Even if you're dumped, someone will still want you."

"That's right. The Axis religion believes in universal love. As long as the object of affection is not an undead or a demon, and as long as there is love and it doesn't break the law, everyone can be forgiven. So Darkness, proudly proclaiming herself a widow, virgin, bitch Darkness, is... fine... pfft!"

The two finally couldn't hold back their laughter.

Then Darkness seized his fate by the throat, and he hurriedly admitted his mistake and begged for mercy.

Sitting next to them was Yūken Kyouya, who stared blankly at the meticulously decorated church, muttering, "Marriage... marriage..."

His two companions were acting strangely.

"Hibikiyo?"

"Hibiki, Hibiki... Could it be that you're interested in marriage?"

"Eh!?"

"If you're really interested, I... I could... marry Hibiki... it's not impossible... right?"

"Ah! How cunning! I want some too!"

They said this shyly, but even so, they knew that Mikami Hibiki would definitely refuse, because the man they liked liked that silly, idiotic goddess over there, so he would most likely be rejected...

"sure."

"Eh?"

“However, the legal marriage age for Liben is 18, so it will take another year. If by then, Clémia and Fio… if you two still have such thoughts, then let’s get married.”

Mikami Hibiki's words startled the two of them, but they were quickly moved to tears. After so much hard work, it was finally going to pay off, so how could they not be happy?

Unlike the three people whose atmosphere was ambiguous and sticky, the other side was frighteningly gloomy.

Most of them come from someone in the corner.

"...Foolish shopkeeper, how long do you intend to keep grieving? The magic you're emitting is affecting others. You'd better tone it down. If that mad dog goddess finds out, she might send you to heaven."

"That's good..."

"what?"

"I might as well let Lady Aqua purify me, since I'm an unwanted lich anyway... Hehehe... Hehehehe—"

Barnier gasped.

He had never found Wiz so troublesome before. She was usually carefree and cheerful, but now she was so gloomy because she couldn't get married.

This made him silently vow to himself that he must never bring up such a topic in front of the other person again, otherwise he would experience the same kind of emotion as a rotten apple.

Wiz wasn't the only one who was unhappy.

"Hey, what's going on here? This isn't what I heard!"

"That's it!"

“Demon Lord… no, Lord Yasaka Kyouichi, I… no, I heard that Mikoto and Shizuka-san are getting married, why is this happening…?”

These were ordinary people who looked no different from anyone else, but upon closer inspection, subtle differences could be discerned, though it was difficult to pinpoint exactly what they were. These people were none other than the Headless Horseman and his companions, disguised as humans.

The Demon King's military officers, now stripped of the "former" prefix, began questioning and complaining about the former Demon King.

Despite being subordinate to others, their submission was largely due to the rumors that the Venerable One was going to marry the Demon King's daughter—at least that was a fig leaf. However, the reality was different, which they found unacceptable.

"Even if you say that..."

Kyoichi Yasaka was also in an awkward position. Although he had repeatedly urged Mikoto to marry his daughter, the latter had never agreed, leaving him completely unsupported. No, it was one thing for him to be unsupportive, but what if it were his own daughter…

Looking at Shizuka Yasaka with her dreamy eyes and longing expression, the Demon King felt a headache coming on and ultimately chose to give up.

"I don't care what happens! I'm going on vacation somewhere else! I've worked hard my whole life, can't I enjoy myself a little?!"

"Mr. Yasaka Kyouichi————!?" xN
Unlike the noisy corners, the center was very quiet... The reason for this was that the person sitting here was the most illustrious nobleman in the kingdom—the royal family, and also the most outstanding person in the fight against the demon king's army—Princess Rikka.

Furthermore, sitting beside her was another nobleman of great status, Prince Revi of the neighboring kingdom of Elrod. He had rushed over immediately upon hearing the news of Zun Zun's marriage.

"I never thought we'd actually succeed in defeating the Demon King. It still feels unbelievable, doesn't it, Claire... Claire?"

The princess, receiving no response, turned her head and found her attendant biting her handkerchief in frustration, looking to the other side—at the trio of Mikami Hibiki, as if their words had just provoked her.

"Claire?"

"N-nothing, what's wrong, Your Highness?"

"...If you have such thoughts, I can help you connect with Mr. Mikken Maebashi."

"Really!?...No, no...I'd better not. I want to handle this myself, so...I'll take the initiative to say it!"

This noblewoman, who commands all officials in the kingdom's hall, seems somewhat timid in this regard.

"If only you were a little more honest," Alice sighed softly. "If you keep acting like this, you won't get anything out of it."

"And how are you, Alice?"

Prince Reeves suddenly asked this question.

The two later broke off their engagement. Although he was somewhat reluctant, he ultimately chose to respect Alice's wishes, and the two became friends.

“I was prepared a long time ago.”

"Prepare? Prepare for what?"

Prince Levi looked at Alice's raised hand with a puzzled expression, not knowing what she wanted to express.

"Of course, we should be prepared to be kidnapped by the Demon King (very quietly)."

"...What did you say?" "No, nothing."

Alice looked at the ring on her ring finger, a beautiful smile appearing on her face.

Suddenly, the meeting room fell silent.

This unusual sight drew everyone's attention, and their gaze fell upon the two large doors on the left and right sides of the front of the church. When the doors were opened, two brides dressed in pure white wedding gowns appeared from the lounge, led by the Crimson Demon Clan Chief.

Huihui and Youyou came out wearing veils, but even through the veils, their beauty was still captivating.

Next, Zun Zun, dressed in a pristine white suit, appeared from the groom's dressing room, accompanied by his sister, Tao Lao.

Normally, the bride should be more eye-catching than the groom, but here it's the complete opposite—his unveiled face is far more attractive than the bride herself.

Soon after, solemn organ music filled the church, and Huihui, Zunzun, and Youyou walked together on the red carpet.

The two women each took one of his arms.

Feeling her slightly trembling body, Zun Zun asked softly, "Are you nervous?"

"Hmm... well, it's the first time after all..."

"Me, me, me...me too."

The two of them said this haltingly.

Seeing the two brides looking nervous and scared, Zun Zun gently squeezed their hands and whispered to them again, "It's okay, I'm here."

They then proceeded to the altar.

In this world, anyone who officiates a wedding ceremony can be a member of the clergy, even if they are not a priest. Therefore, it is acceptable for even the town's rare high priest to officiate, let alone the fact that the other party's true identity is a goddess.

only--

Looking at Aqua, whose mouth was bulging and who was quickly gulping down bubble wine to swallow the food, he suddenly realized that agreeing to her request was a mistake.

But the process was normal.

It's unclear whether Aqua anticipated a disturbance, but she skipped the part about asking if anyone objected, causing many guests to be furious and complain that she wasn't following the expected script.

After that, all the three of them need to do is keep saying "I do".

However, considering that the other party was Aqua, and to prevent her from making any underhanded moves, he listened carefully, but it was just a very ordinary oath-based questioning.

"Youyou and Huihui, do you take this man to be your husband, to marry him, and to love, care for, respect, accept, and remain faithful to him until the end of your lives, in sickness and in health, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, for poorer, for poorer, for richer or ...

"I do." X2
"Zun Zun, do you take Youyou and Huihui to be your wives and enter into a marriage contract with them? In sickness and in health, for better or for worse, for all other reasons, to love, care for, respect, accept, and remain faithful to them until the end of your life?"

"I am willing."

"—Okay, let's exchange rings then."

Take out the two rings that were prepared beforehand and put them on the ring fingers of their left hands respectively.

Incidentally, Youyou and Huihui prepared rings that could be separated and combined into one, seemingly symbolizing their hope that Zunzun would give them equal love without bias.

This was Kazuma Sato's suggestion.

As the wedding drew to a close, Aqua, despite some initial concerns, managed to complete her tasks admirably... Indeed, aside from her primary role as a goddess, she excels at everything else.

"And the final step..."

Aqua deliberately drew out her tone, and the guests below the altar began to stir slightly.

The next step is to throw a bouquet, symbolizing the passing on of happiness and the possibility of the next person getting married. Not to mention, the person throwing the bouquet is blessed by the hero who defeated the demon king, so single people with romantic aspirations are all eager to participate.

The bride, groom, and their two companions held the bouquet, and then—

"3, 2, 1!"

Throw the bouquet behind you.

Zun Zun didn't go to see who had won the bouquet; he simply embraced the two brides gently.

"How does it feel?"

"It's strange...it feels like happiness..."

Youyou answered without hesitation.

Huihui sighed helplessly and said, "I'm generally satisfied. It would have been even better if my gluttonous parents and my sister Mimi hadn't been feasting in the lounge and had come to the event instead."

This is also why Megumin was brought out by the Crimson Demon Clan Chief.

"What are you talking about?" Zun Zun gestured for Hui Hui to look in the corner and said, "What parent wouldn't attend their child's wedding?"

"Megumi...Megumi...!"

"I wish you happiness, Huihui————"

"Sister! You look the most beautiful today!"

The father was crying his eyes out, the mother was deeply moved, and the younger sister was holding a chicken leg and shouting loudly. Huihui was also moved and wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Seriously, why do parents have to be like this..."

"But I want to thank them for raising Huihui into such an outstanding person... outstanding?"

"Hey, why did you pause? Do you think I'm not good enough?"

"That's completely untrue!"

Before Huihui uses the Explosion Magic, quickly admit your mistake, otherwise not only will the church be in danger, but the guests will also be sent to heaven! ...Wait a minute, if I take this opportunity to announce that I am the new Demon King, will it have a huge impact?
In the end, Zun Zun gave up.

This is, after all, the most important wedding in my life... no, in my three lifetimes. If it can end normally like this, it will be quite good.

however--

Just then, a bright light emanated from the tall goddess statue above the altar, directly facing them, and then a woman with silver hair, a flat chest, and a faint scar on her face appeared out of thin air.

She radiated a divine glow, inspiring awe and reverence. Given that this was taking place in the Holy Cathedral of Eris, her identity was self-evident.

"The goddess... has descended?"

Someone murmured.

After seeing Zun Zun, the goddess flashed a playful smile before disappearing again, leaving behind a voice echoing in the void.

"Offering blessings to the hero's wedding."

At the same time, a holy light enveloped Zun Zun, You You, and Hui Hui.

good good!
Is that how you play?
I thought Aqua was weird enough as it was, but it turns out Chris's absence was because she was planning something big! And now—

"The goddess has descended... Hey, the goddess has descended!"

"I know, this is the second time I've seen it!"

"But this time, it's a blessing for Zun Zun... He really is a true hero!"

What should I do?!
Seeing the church in chaos, Zun Zun grabbed You You and Hui Hui's arms.

"Got to go!"

"Eh?"

"Wait, wait a minute...!?"

Ignoring the mess they couldn't clean up, the three of them turned and ran outside.
