Chapter 340: Preparations are going steadily
Unaware that Valkyra Kingdom’s King Lobos and Prime Minister Simon were on the move to hold my wedding within the country, I, for some reason, was holed up alone in the Sanctuary workshop.
It all began when Akane confirmed with me, who had been relieved after the proposals.
「Takumi, the proposing is nice and all, but have you prepared wedding rings? Engagement rings would also be great.」
「Eh...............」
I froze when Akane mentioned the rings.
Did this world have wedding rings and engagement rings? Akane looked at me dumbstruck and shook her head in disbelief.
「I had guessed as much. Listen, Takumi. Wedding rings and engagement rings are important items to women. It’s not about how big or small it is.」
「O-okay, I’ll prepare it as soon as possible.」
「You may as well make them the best magic items. While you’re at it, please make my accessory too. Ah, and you can’t use a ring for mine.」
Leaving me with Akane’s brazen request, I hurried to the workshop.
If I actually think about it, even if Sophia, Maria, and Marnie wanted rings, they wouldn’t tell me themselves. I’m an idiot.
In the workshop, I placed all sorts of materials on top of my work bench and gave it some thought.
「Now then, is it fine if the base is mythril?」
I was a salaryman in my 40s in my previous life, but I had never been married. I’ve attended the weddings of friends, relatives, and subordinates, but I was comfortable on my own.
Seeing me, Akane asked. No, this is the living room of my house, so I’d like it if she didn’t treat me like some nuisance.
「Well, I had something I’d like to ask.」
And so, I asked if there was a custom of presenting rings, if it does indeed go on the left ring finger, and if both engagement and wedding rings go on the same finger.
「Oh, you realized?」
「Eh? What do you mean?」
Akane had an evil look as she asked if I had finally realized.
「The custom of wedding rings and engagement rings wouldn’t exist in this world. Here, rings are treated as equipment. Or they could be an accessory that noble ladies use to adorn themselves.」
「Wha!? Then, why?」
「Isn’t it obvious? If I get married, I would want rings!」
「Eh...............」
Akane asserted her own desires so brazenly. That said, Sophia and the girls who were born in this world did not refute Akane. In the end, is it that girls loving accessories is the same in any world?
In any case, the wedding rings were complete, and I plan on making the engagement rings according to Akane’s instructions.
The girls saw me off and waved their hands as I returned to the workshop. They could have at least let me drink some tea......
