Chapter 352: Ceremony Preparations 2

Chapter 352: Ceremony Preparations 2

I was forced to create a new, larger church and construct lodging facilities little by little. Moreover, for the church, we weren’t simply tearing it down and rebuilding it, there were many things we could reuse, Goddess Norn’s statue of course being one of them, so it wasn’t double the time.

Undine and the Great Spirits think that there would be all sorts of risks if the wedding was to be held anywhere other than the Sanctuary.

Firstly, since we ended inviting important personages from various countries, they would need a great number of escorts if it was held anywhere else. So on that point, if the ceremony is in the Sanctuary, those handful of people could have minimal escorts because of how the Great Spirits would repel them. What the Great Spirits said was not not wrong. Though, the people who would be repelled might complain.

「So, are we inviting Berkut’s tribe? They’ll sulk if you don’t.」

「Ah! The Sky Island would be visible when they pass through the barrier!」

Since Akane mentioned Berkut, I remembered something important.

Currently, the Sky Island is floating above the sea to the west of the Sanctuary. Normally, it’s visible from the sea side, but invisible from the continent side because of the Sanctuary’s barrier.

「I won’t move the Sky Island just because of our wedding.」

「Isn’t it fine if it’s found out? Aside from Berkut, you also have to invite Valkan-san and Valzak-san anyway.」

「Ah, yeah, you’re right.」

Some folks from the Aligerous Tribe were going in and out of the Sanctuary. Especially Berkut, she frequently stays at our mansion. It is inevitable that we invite them.

「Takumi-sama, will we invite Queen Fraal?」

「......well, I’m fine with inviting Queen Fraal, but......」

In any case, if the church and accommodations aren’t built, a schedule for the wedding can’t be finalized.

I got a request for the design of the church from Akane.

「Do a church with a lot of stained glass.」

「Like the Sainte-Chapelle of France? I was thinking a Cologne Cathedral-like exterior would be cool though.」

Akane’s request was a stained glass-covered church. It would definitely have a mystical air about it. It’s a heck of a lot of work for me to make though.

When I had gone overseas just once because of a work trip in my past life, I remember going to the Palau de la Música Catalana [1] in Barcelona, Spain.

Though it wasn’t a church, I have such a powerful memory of the abundant stained glass used, even building a stained glass-shaped dome.

I’ve also seen pictures of the Sainte-Chapelle too. Stained glass might be good. It’s a lot of trouble for me though. It’s so important that I have to say it twice.

Haa, we can’t finalize the schedule without finishing these structures, so I better start now.

I’ll think about how far the invitations would be taken afterwards.
