Chapter 365: Wedding 7The light that gathered on Goddess Norn’s statue transformed into a large figure of light in Goddess Norn’s form.
As I stared at it, stunned, it felt like the Light Norn-sama smiled.
Light Norn-sama opened both arms and that light burst like sparkling rain as if to bless those gathered.
Norn-sama’s light glittered and danced in the space where the Spirits were flying around.
The melody played by the Sanctuary’s orchestra played inside the church where everyone watched speechlessly.
「......Norn-sama has descended.」
「......yeah, it is most certainly Norn-sama.」
Even to the Great Spirits, Norn-sama was a special existence. Gnome and Salamander were amazed.
「......I can feel Norn-sama’s power.」
「......yes, it’s exceedingly warm.」
「......it was thanks to Takumi.」
「Right.」
「............」
Undine, Sylph, Dryas, Selene, and Nyx were in tears, deeply moved.
The Great Spirits were trembling with emotion...... which meant, when I looked at the guests, there were those who were off of their seats and down on their knees in prayer.
「......Norn-sama, I’m glad you’re giving your blessing...... but what are we gonna do about this?」
Well, the event isn’t over just yet.
After this, the guests will move to the banquet space of the lodge, and the reception would be held there.
In commoners’ marriage in this world, after receiving a simple blessing from the priest at the church, they do hold banquets, but because royalty and nobility were attending, the reception was similar to what was held in my old world. That said, even though it’s called a reception, it was closer to a ceremonial dinner. there weren’t things like entertainment and celebratory toasts.
「Sophia, Maria, Marnie, congratulations. Now then, we’ll escort you to the reception hall.」
「Now, this way please!」
Akane came with Lulu-chan and took my wives with her. It was necessary to touchup their makeup. Though they wouldn’t be changing dresses.
And as for me, I rushed to the lodge’s kitchen.
「For the bridegroom to help with cooking, isn’t that strange?」
I talked to myself about how this didn’t make sense.
For the marriage reception today, the Sanctuary inhabitants were helping. However, the menu was decided by Maria and Marnie after consulting with Akane, and for some reason, I, the bridegroom, ended up helping with food prep.
「Takumi, your Cooking Skill is high, so you could make anything.」 was why I was pushed into it by Akane.
Sure, it’s more efficient if I help because I could use magic to save time. But that said, I’m still not convinced.
When I burst into the kitchen, the Sanctuary residents who were skilled at cooking were busy working.
Instructed by the Elven woman taking charge of the kitchen as the head chef, I moved around as their hands and feet.
Why did it end up like this............
