A cross-dressing anime, starting with Kaguya-sama: Love Is War.

"Okay, it's weird, but it's still better looking than those glittery, tacky things."

Hearing this from not far away, Alexandra pursed her lips in dissatisfaction.

“I’ve come to deliver a gift,” Hephaestus said, opening the box.

Inside, instead of the magical weapons everyone had imagined, lay a delicate box.

Hephaestus picked up the box and opened it.

Two exquisite rings appeared before everyone's eyes.

The ring has a simple design and is not set with any gemstones, but its material is extraordinary, presenting a deep silver-gray color with a flowing light that slowly rotates on the surface.

“These rings are made of an alloy of mithril and orogen, with a tiny bit of Philosopher’s Stone powder mixed in,” Hephaestus said with a hint of pride. “Most importantly, I’ve infused them with a bit of my divine power.”

She handed the ring to Lynn and Kaguya.

"Wearing it, you can roughly sense each other's location. In a critical moment, if you concentrate your mind, it can also generate a short-term protective shield. Although it cannot block too strong an attack, it may be life-saving in critical moments."

This gift is too expensive.

Lynn and Kaguya exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise and gratitude in each other's eyes.

"Hephaestus, this is too..."

"Alright, enough with the formalities." Hephaestus waved her hand, interrupting Lynn. "You're getting married tomorrow, hurry up and put it on."

Lynn picked up one of the rings and gently placed it on Kaguya's ring finger.

The ring was the perfect size, and it emitted a soft glow when it touched Kaguya's skin.

Kaguya's cheeks flushed slightly. She picked up another one, a little shy, but her movements were firm as she put it on Lynn's finger.

“Excellent.” Goddess Astraea smiled from the side, her eyes full of satisfaction.

……

As always, Yulali's tavern was bustling with noise.

Adventurers, exhausted from a long day, gather here to drink heavily, boast loudly, and release their pent-up stress.

"Have you heard? Lynn, the new bride of the Astrea Familia, is getting married to their Yamato Rindou tomorrow!" a dwarf adventurer shouted, slurring his words as he gulped down a large cup of ale.

"Who doesn't know that!" His orc companion slammed his hand on the table. "The whole of Yulari is talking about it! I even saw someone putting up bets on West Street today, betting on whether he can successfully marry his bride tomorrow!"

"Hey, what's so great about betting on this?"

“You don’t understand!” the orc said in a low voice, a mysterious expression on his face. “The key isn’t the marriage, the key is that this afternoon, the goddess Artemis brought her entire retinue into the city!”

"Artemis?" The moment the name was mentioned, the adventurers at several tables around fell silent and pricked up their ears.

"That's right! It's one of the three great goddesses! Artemis! I saw it with my own eyes, she was walking next to Lynn, and... and she was holding his arm!"

"what?!"

The clamor of the "53 Book Club" in the pub instantly halved.

"Really? Artemis arm in arm with a man? Are you drunk?"

"I swear on my beloved battle axe! It's absolutely true! The Astrea Familia was there, and that Yamato Rindou Kaguya was there too! That scene, tsk tsk... I could smell it from two blocks away!"

"My God... one is my fiancée whom I'm about to marry, and the other is a legendary goddess of chastity who is forbidden from falling in love... just who is this guy named Lynn?"

"Hero! Have you forgotten? Just a few days ago, he single-handedly took down two level 5 powerhouses from the Dark Faction!"

"It's impressive, but... this is just too much! Having two women on one foot, and both of them are goddess-level beauties?"

"What does it mean to have your cake and eat it too? That's called charm!"

A rough, loud voice broke in.

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw Hassan, the steel fist of the Ganesha clan, walking over with his muscular chest and a proud expression.

"Let me tell you, Lynn is my good brother! He got the attention of two goddesses, that's his own skill! You bunch of single guys, stop being so jealous!"

Hassan sat down with a thud, causing the bench to groan.

His admiration for Lynn has now reached a new level.

He now believes Lynn is the incarnation of a god!

……

at the same time,

The headquarters of the "guild".

A long line had already formed in front of Eina's desk.

"Miss Eina, please, just reveal a little bit: what level is Mr. Lynn's current ability level?"

"Miss Eina, I heard that the Artemis Familia is going to merge into the Astrea Familia. Is that true? Has the guild received an application?"

Eina maintained her professional smile, repeating the standard answer over and over again.

"We're sorry, but the adventurer's personal information is confidential and we are not authorized to disclose it."

"The guild is not in a position to comment on the private affairs of the deity."

"Please wait for official announcements regarding matters concerning the families."

The veins on her forehead were throbbing slightly.

Ever since Lynn and the others returned to Yulari, her place has never been peaceful.

All afternoon, she wasn't dealing with adventurers' mission reports, but rather with endless gossip and inquiries.

suburbs,

An abandoned sewer.

It was dark and damp here, and the air was filled with the earthy smell of soil.

The eccentric Rives was standing in front of a giant, budding carnivorous flower.

The flower bud was as big as a water vat, its surface covered with strange purple patterns, and it was gently trembling as she touched it.

“What a good child.” Revis’s face was filled with a morbid obsession as she gently ran her finger across the surface of the flower bud. “Tomorrow, you’ll be able to have a feast.”

She took out a fist-sized magic stone that emitted an ominous red light from her bosom and slowly inserted it into the crevice at the top of the flower bud.

"Eat it, my baby."

The magic stone was swallowed by the flower bud, and the entire man-eating flower trembled violently, its surface patterns emitting an eerie light.

The sweet aroma became even stronger, almost taking on a tangible form.

She opened her arms wide and gave the giant carnivorous flower a frenzied smile.

"While those dark faction guys are causing trouble, eat to your heart's content!!!"

...

Night fell.

In the courtyard of the Astrea Familia, rows of red lanterns shone brightly, their soft light illuminating the entire estate.

The daytime hustle and bustle gradually subsided, and the two clan girls, after a busy day, were enjoying a sumptuous dinner together in a harmonious atmosphere.

The girls of the Artemis Familia were fascinated by everything about Yullari and were asking Alexie and the others a lot of questions.

Lynn and Kaguya stood side by side on the corridor in the courtyard, watching the lively scene before them.

"It's so beautiful," Kaguya said softly, not looking at the lights, but at her smiling family members.

“Yes.” Lynn took her hand, which was adorned with a ring.

The warmth emanated from our clasped hands.

Kaguya didn't break free; instead, she gently held his hand back.

She looked up, and her eyes, which usually carried a sharp edge reminiscent of the "53 Reading Club," were now so gentle under the lamplight that they seemed to melt with tenderness.

"Lynn."

"Ok?"

"Tomorrow, I'm going to marry you."

“I know.” Lynn smiled. “So, please take care of me from now on, my wife.”

Kaguya's face flushed bright red instantly. She lowered her head and hummed in a barely audible voice.

......

the next day,

The entire Yulari region was in an uproar.

The streets in front of the Astrea Familia's residence were packed with people from the early morning.

Adventurers, merchants, ordinary citizens, and even nobles who usually kept to themselves all flocked to this place.

After all, this was Yulari's most sensational wedding ever.

The groom is Lynn, the hero who recently rose to fame, and the bride is Kaguya Yamato of the Astraea Familia.

Even more exciting is that Artemis, one of the legendary three goddesses, will also be attending this wedding.

Some busybodies even started betting on whether any accidents would happen today.

Guild Headquarters.

With dark circles under her eyes, Eina mechanically processed the files.

Meanwhile, the guild's manager, Royman, paced back and forth in his office in frustration.

"They've gone mad! They've all gone mad!"

He looked at the mountain of reports piled up on the table and felt like his head was about to explode.

"The entire Ganesha family requests permission to mobilize and maintain order at the wedding ceremony!"

"The Hephaestus Familia has secured the best viewing spots outside the Astrea Familia's residence!"

"Even those nobles who are usually arrogant and haughty have sent their butlers with invitations, hoping to get a seat to attend the ceremony!"

"Ishtar, Nyolde, Gubernau, Demeter, Dean Kate..."

"Most of the city's gods went there, even Apollo and Soma, with whom they had a conflict."

"I heard that the Loki Familia and Freya Familia are also sending representatives! This isn't a wedding, it's practically a divine assembly!"

He clutched his already thinning hair and let out a wail, "One Lynn! Just one Lynn!"

......

"Make way! Make way!"

The members of the Ganesha family were maintaining order, and Hassanar was waving his thick arms, trying to clear a path through the crowd.

"Everyone, line up in an orderly fashion! Don't push! Today is my brother's big day, anyone who dares to cause trouble will be dealt with severely!"

The Hall of Dusk

Inside the Loki Familia's encampment, Loki, the chief god, was shamelessly leaning against the window, holding a monocular telescope and straining to see in the direction of the Astraea Familia.

She let out a series of strange, unintelligible laughs.

"Hehehe... Oh my, this is really interesting! So interesting! Astrea's familia has actually caused such a commotion!"

"A newcomer, a virgin! ~A goddess...Tsk tsk, this combination is stronger than the alcohol I've been drinking!"

Behind her, Finna sat calmly wiping his spear.

"Loki, you're practically drooling."

“You don’t understand! Finn!” Loki whirled around, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement. “This is a once-in-a-millennium spectacle! Artemis, that woman, I’ve known her for thousands of years, she’s more stubborn than stone, colder than an iceberg! And now she’s actually chasing after Yullari for a man!”

“This shows that the boy named Lynn is no ordinary person.” Finn’s tone remained calm, but his emerald eyes gleamed with wisdom.

“It’s more than just not simple,” Riveria said, putting down her magic book.
