Chapter 450: After the Wedding and the First Night of the Newlyweds.
Chapter 450: After the Wedding and the First Night of the Newlyweds.
After the Bouquet Toss, we paraded the town with all girls on a large transport-type golem built in the [Workshop]. Honestly, I don't think we needed such a big vehicle because it's a small town.
Traveling through the town in a multi-legged golem with many legs on the body felt like riding in a double-decker bus. It is the result of a collaboration between Professor Elk the engineer and Professor Babylon. They made something flashy again. By the way, it is Rosetta who is driving it.
The Golem Bus slowly goes around the town and comes back to the castle.
Originally, this was intended to be automatic and was created in the [Hangar], but after discovering Ether fuel, the two professors worked on it to make it more efficient. Because there is no ceiling, you can see us even from the crowd. It's like a parade. No, it must be a parade.
We also wave back to those who wave at us from the streets. About half are people who we know. Those who we’ve never seen are probably tourists and travelers.
There are adventurers in the mix.
"Hmm?"
I found a person who behaved strangely. From behind a man who was congratulating us, he sneaks his hand over into the man’s shoulder bag. A pickpocket?
Just as I was about to use [Paralyze] through my smartphone, the pickpocket suddenly fell down on the spot.
If you look closely, you can see Nyantarou holding a rapier behind the man. By the way, the rapier was enchanted with [Paralyze] and was specifically asked by Nyantarou, so the pickpocketing man should be unharmed.
Nyantarou gave me a big thumbs up. He’s dexterous …
The more people gather in a spot, the more crime there is. However, our cat squad (four known cats and many more) led by Nyantarou is constantly watching for suspicious people, so we shall not let the criminals escape. In a sense, they can be said to be the best undercover squad.
I wave my hand to Nyantarou and thank him. Maybe I’ll send him some liquor later?
The Golem Bus that went around the town is slowly approaching the castle. By the way, this Golem Bus has tires on the side of the legs, and it can proceed without shaking while in the wheel mode. During the parade up to that point, it was in wheel mode. Upon further thought, this shouldn’t have been made multi-legged from the beginning and should have just had the wheels on it normally! I thought that, but there are many bad roads and mountain roads when you leave the town. In that case, multi-legged would be more convenient.
Upon returning to the castle, we immediately ran to the changing rooms. Next is the reception. The courtyard where the wedding ceremony was held, the largest hall in the castle, and the playroom are connected by a door with [Gate] enchanted on it so that the invitees can enjoy themselves. The wedding reception is more like a second party, and it doesn't have to be as stiff as at the ceremony.
When I parted from everyone and entered the changing room, Liam-san, who was waiting, immediately brought another pair of clothes to wear to the reception. I take off the white tie and put my hands through the sleeves of the shirt.
A casual gray vest above a white shirt and a navy blue tie. And at the bottom are some dark grey pants. The clothes are pretty casual, unlike at the ceremony.
Unlike at Earth, there is no Unity Candle Ceremony or the cutting of the Wedding Cake at the reception, and the main thing is to entertain invited guests so that they can drink, eat, and just have fun. It was easier to do than the previous ceremony.
I asked Liam-san if I needed to fix my tie and left the room quickly. While we were out doing the parade, all the guests should have already started to enjoy their meals and having fun.
I don't have to hurry, but I can't just relax. My wives will take time to redress, so I have to get there first in their stead.
I take Kohaku and move to the front of the door leading to the hall by casting [Teleport].
The knights who were guarding in front of the door were surprised at us who suddenly appeared, but as soon as they knew it was me, they opened the door. As I passed through the door apologizing to the knights for surprising them, all the invitees in the hall’s attentions were all drawn to me.
"Oh! One of today's protagonists is here!"
Along with the voice of the Beast King, the guests sent a thunderous applause to me.
There were many tables lined up in the hall, and various dishes and sweets were lined up on top of the white tablecloths covering the tables. The invited guests use a plate to take and eat what they like. So to speak, it took the form of a buffet.
At first, I thought that I should set up a proper seating order, so I made a list, but considering the senior vassals of each country, aristocracy, their political positions and mutual relations, I couldn’t decide who sits where. Judging by that, it became this form. A seating order doesn't matter if there’s a huge round table.
With this form, you don't have to worry about the seating order, and even strangers can talk to each other. On the contrary, you are able to stay away from the people you are not close to.
"Congratulations today, Touya-san. I hope you will have a happy marriage."
"Thank you, Ieyasu-san. Please enjoy yourself to the fullest."
Ieyasu-san, who had a slightly reddish face after drinking wine from Refereese, greeted me.
From Eashen, not only did Yae's family and relatives come, but also Ieyasu-san and some other Tokugawa family vassals. Eashen's Emperor Shirahime-san has also been invited.
When I left Ieyasu-san to do whatever he wanted, the next person to call out was Lefang-san, the King of Egret, who was dressed in a costume like the Native Americans. The tattoos on his trained brown skin are the same as usual, but the feather decoration on his head is more colorful than usual.
"Hell, King of Brunhild. At last you also have wives … Never do anything that upsets your wives."
"… I will keep that in mind, Your Majesty the King of Egret."
I would like to thank Lefang-san, who governs over Egret, the kingdom near the South Sea.
This king also has seven wives. Let's listen to the advice of our predecessors. Egret seems to have started squid fishing after the usual squid turmoil. I heard that the taste has a good reputation and is likely to become a specialty of Egret.
It seems that the dried squid from Egret will be on the market soon.
"Your Majesty the King, congratulations on your marriage."
"Congratulations."
"Thank you. It's your turn next."
Next, came the greetings from Crown Prince Rufeus of the Triharan Holy Empire and Princess Berrietta of the Strain Kingdom.
The two who became fiancés after the race will soon have a wedding ceremony.
"Please come to our wedding. We’re planning to have a parade with the latest Ether vehicle!”
"Recently, there are many disputes over Bell and its maintenance, and I'm a little troubled …"
"Oh, you can't be stingy on the parts I've installed, right?"
"I am not being stingy, but from a safety standpoint …!"
"Okay."
I don't want them to start fighting here, so I calm them down. They fight a lot, but isn’t that a sign of a healthy relationship? Well, I probably won’t do it, though……
As I was getting my mind tired while thinking about such things, an invited guest in the hall said, "Oh!”
The big doors in the hall opened, and my wives, who had changed into other clothes from their wedding dresses, came into the venue.
Everyone is wearing white dresses with lace fabric similar to their wedding dresses, but the overall design is simplified. Their fluffy skirts extend below their knees, and the lace from the chest areas to the top of their necks and from their shoulders to their elbows are vividly shown.
Those dresses are dresses that are created in a way that they make the wearer look cute rather than beautiful.
"Go on! Go to your wives!"
The one who laughed as he was hitting my back was the old man Baba-san, one of the former members of the Elite Four. Yamagata-san and Naito-san, both old men, are laughing by my sides. By the way, Kousaka-san is greeting ambassadors from other countries and goes around.
As I approached everyone with a slightly uncertain gait, Su jumped in first.
"Hey, you’re already a wife, so you should not be doing something such a thing to the opposite gender."
"What are you talking about? Because I’m your wife, I get to hug you like this without being reserved. I won’t hesitate anymore, Touya-san. We're a couple."
Yeah, is that so? I'm not reluctant, it's just embarrassing.
Perhaps inspired by Su, Yumina also hugged onto my arm. With Su hugging onto my right arm, and Yumina on the left arm, you could say I have two beautiful flowers in both hands, but I feel a mysterious pressure from the smiles of the other seven girls.
Suddenly, when I looked up, I saw the King of Egret, who I talked with earlier, looking at me with sympathy. Stop it.
With everyone together, we greet the invited guests again and go around to the aristocrats who are playing games in the gameroom, thank the kings of each country who are having a chat while there is a cool breeze in the courtyard, and the queens who are enjoying the cuisines from various countries in the hall. Thank you for the instruction about marriage life. I showed my face and went around.
Eventually the night came. Grandma Tokie is supposed to send the gift from the catalogues and some dishes as souvenirs by transfer magic. In addition, guests who stayed were supposed to stay in the guest rooms of the castle.
The rest is left to Kousaka-san and Lapis-san, the maid chief. My wives and I give the final concluding words and leave the venue.
"Faaa ……… I am exhausted …"
I loosened my tie and layed my body on the sofa in the living room. Everyone else returned to their own room, and perhaps because I was finally released from the tension that followed the wedding, my whole body was tired.
"Good job on your hard work."
"Oh, yeah …"
Liam-san the butler brought me some cold water, and I drank it all at once. I didn't have much to drink today. If I need to be near the toilet at all times… That would be bad. Just drinking water feels really delicious.
Liam-san pours water from the jug into the glass again.
"It was a wonderful and amazing wedding. I think all of the invited guests were satisfied."
"I hope they were."
While laughing at Liam-san's slightly over-the-top words, I drink water again.
"Now, all that's left is the succession."
"Buffo!?"
Geho, Geho! Water enters my trachea and makes it come out. I need to be more careful! Not so fast!??
Liam-san continues to talk to me who is surprised.
"It is one of the responsibilities of the Royal Family to leave behind a bloodline. After no signs of the Queen being pregnant, I started worrying that the Belfast King-sama was impotent, so I was afraid until Yumina-sama was born. In the case of His Majesty, there are nine people. Simply thinking, there is nine times the chance of having a child…… "
"Stop it because it's hit or raw."
No, well, since we've gotten married, I think we will need to do many things, including "that"…
I had to wait until eighteen until I was of a marriageable age on Earth, but here the youngest, Su, is twelve. It is said that even in a different country, people are recognized as adults from around fifteen, so I think it is better to wait for a few more years for such an act with Su.
Toshiie Maeda, a Sengoku warrior, was 21 and had a sword in the Seish*tsu room, but at that time her age was twelve. Strangely, she is the same age as Su. In addition, Matsu has a child the following year.
That doesn't mean I have to imitate it.
This is a weird story, but there have already been discussions amongst the wives (I haven't participated), in what order of "that kind of thing" is going to happen
It was simply "the order in which they got engaged to me." In other words, Yumina, Linze, Elze, Yae, Lou, Su, Hilda, Leen, and Sakura.
That's why I have to go to Yumina later …
A strange tension runs through my body, which is different from that time at the wedding ceremony. Yeah. I really need to go, since it has already been decided.
However, even after Liam-san left the room, I was only drinking water for a while. The sound of the clock echoes loudly.
It can't be helped, and I can't stay here forever. Alright, let's go!
I heard the sound of someone knocking on the door just when I was about to stand up, with my heart pounding and beating fast.
"Huh, ye !?"
"Excuse me."
Cesca opened the door and entered the room.
There are several small bottles made of glass on the silver tray held in one of her hands. What are they? I don't think those are filled with sake?
"Professor Babylon's "Wedding Gift"."
"What's this?"
I lift a vial of colorful liquid that shines like a ruby ??or sapphire from the tray into the air. It's like a diluted shaved ice syrup. The contents of the vial look beautiful, but it looks bad for you.
"The red one is the energy enhancer, the blue one is the libido recovery agent, and the green one is the nourishing tonic."
"Take them back!"
That's too straightforward for a wedding gift!
"These are special products that Flora created. There are no side effects."
"I don't need them. I'll do something on my own."
I don't think I'll run out of physical strength because of [Refresh]. No, rather, I shouldn't even be thinking until doing "it" until I'm exhausted!
Cesca took my hand and put her thumb on my wrist.
"Hmm. Normal pulse rate, blood pressure and mo, and breathing is also a bit slow. You are nervous, Master."
"Of course I am!"
It would be strange not to be nervous. I'm more nervous than when I fought the evil god.
"You should first learn how to make a woman happy. It's best to try it with me before going at it with your wife. Then, let's go. Asa."
"Hey!"
Cesca pushes me down to the sofa and begins to unbutton my shirt. This girl is as strong as ever!
"It won't hurt. If you count the stains on the ceiling, it will end quickly."
"Te, [Teleport]!"
"Mugu…"
I teleport from the sofa and escape. Oh yeah, you stay there! Let's go to Yumina quickly!
I opened the door and started walking in the hallway, fixing the buttons Cesca had removed.
"How was it?"
"It didn't go as planned, Professor. It's hard to have a completely sloppy master."
Cesca was sitting on the sofa and having a conversation with Professor Babylon on her smartphone. She hears a laughing voice from the smartphone.
"Okay. But he's far better than the crap that only had stubborn self-confidence and saw women as objects to release his libido on. And if Touya doesn't get used to these things, he won't be able to reach out to us. "
"I may have a chance, but what about the Professor being almost impossible?"
The Babylon Sisters, gynoids, can't grow any further. The Professor's body will remain that way.
"Hmm, I borrowed the power of the God of Alcohol. I'm sure she will help you, too. "
"It's a punishment."
The God of Alcohol is older than the Professor. Touya, who had drunk some alcohol before, rarely gets drunk with ordinary sake. The former master-servant didn't know that, and celebrated the future of a sloppy newlywed boy in their own way.
"[Prison]"
"Who … what?"
While in the room with Yumina, I activate [Prison] around her room. With this, no one can peep from the outside and they cannot barge in.
No, I still can't be relieved. That Professor may have a bug or a surveillance camera in the room.
I used [Search] and looked for them, but nothing was found. Hmmm. I think that I thought too much … But wouldn't that Professor Babylon do such a thing? I wonder if thinking that was bad. But based on her usual behavior …
As I sighed with relief, Yumina, who was in pretty white pajamas, began to move from the bed.
"Touya-sama? Isn't it too much to leave your wife by herself?"
"Oh no, I didn't mean to do that."
Dangerous. I'm in a nervous mood. I was impatient but desperately felt embarrassed, and managed to get rid of that mood. Huh.
Relieved, Yumina sat upright on the bed, attached her three fingers and bowed deeply. Eh, where did you learn it! ?? From Yae! ??
"I'm an unworthy person, but I look forward to being with you for the rest of my life."
"Oh no. I am the unworthy one."
In response to Yumina's sudden actions, I went up to the bed in the same way and bowed deeply while sitting with my lower body upright.
If I raise my face, we will feel each other's breaths on our faces. The tension that I had just disappeared before I knew it.
In the future, I will live with these girls as my companions and will be happy about it. There is no doubt about that feeling.
I grasp Yumina's hand and kiss her lips deeply, which was not possible at the wedding.
Illuminated by the gentle moonlight, our shadows slowly overlapped.
I just need to add that the next nine days, including that day, I felt very tired.
