　What was the decisive factor that made these women decide on their marriage partners so quickly?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was the existence of magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　A magic that has recently begun to spread among small nations.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The number of magic users is increasing all over the country, thanks to those who can use the magic of naming, but whether by accident or because they were in the closed space of a brothel, none of the women who worked as prostitutes were able to use magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　These women jumped on the magic bandwagon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It was not surprising when you think about it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　What especially pleased the women was the magic of [washing].

　Magic that can clean off dirt in an instant, no matter how dirty it is.

　Perhaps it was because they were more concerned about their appearance than others, but for the women, this [washing] was truly a miraculous magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, the magic other than [washing] was also attractive.

　Especially, the life magic can greatly improve the quality of life no matter who uses it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I want to use magic myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be strange not to.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, even after some time in the village of Barca, no magic was given to the women.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because they were forbidden from naming the newcomers to the village without their permission.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thanks to the fact that all the men, orphans, and everyone else observed this rule, no woman who could use magic appeared until now.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But then a change came.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At last, a woman who could use magic appeared.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are the women who married mercenaries.

　Eight couples were married at martial arts competitions and fairs.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After the hospital and the school were completed, I built a church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And we held their wedding in that church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In my home kingdom, the United Kingdom of Fontana, the wedding ceremony is a little bit different from the custom here in the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, maybe that's not exactly true.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The unusual weddings are not for ordinary people, but only for those who are knights or above.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When a knight marries a lady, the wedding takes place in a church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And at that time, the church performs the rite of succession.

　When a married man and a married woman have a child, the male child born to them is given the right of succession.

　When the father dies, the power is passed on to the child who has the right of succession.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, this inheritance ritual cannot be performed in the Orient.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This is because there is no one from the church.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that only priests in the church can do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Well, if it can't be done, it can't be done.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　But I decided to make the wedding a little different anyway, so I had the couple use the [naming] ceremony when they were to be married.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The man names his wife using [naming] between those who are getting married.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At this time, they allowed the couple to take a special surname.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　This was intended to say that commoners did not have family names, and that you were special.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Or rather, it was meant to make it clear that by marrying a woman who actually had the rights of a first-class citizen, the other man would also have the rights of a first-class citizen.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, in this village, those who married had a family name, and women who had a family name could use magic.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They can use daily life magic such as [washing], [drinking water], and [ignition], as well as [meditation] and [improvement of soil].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　To put it bluntly, if they could only use these magic skills, they would be able to get enough to live on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, in the village of Barca, women were divided into two groups: those who could use magic and those who could not.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　And if that happens, guess what?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The women who had been hesitant to get married decided on their life partner.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I don't think that anxiety about the future or the hospital had much to do with it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The desire to have the magic of too much convenience was definitely a major factor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In the end, the only thing that remained was that I wished I had made them have a wedding earlier and let them use [naming].

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Oh well.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Although it was not the result of our various attempts, many of the women who came to our village did get married.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　In a way, it is a confirmation of the recognition of the mercenaries from Valliant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Besides, the men who decided to get married somehow had something to be chosen from the women's point of view.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Let the men who could not get married this time do their best to improve themselves in the future.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Thus, the marriage ruckus in the village of Barca went well for the time being, in spite of various circumstances.
