I am very happy to be invited to your wedding.
No, um, okay, please stand up...

　The man in the guest room of the castle was not only deep in the room, but was kneeling on his knees, and I turned my attention to the woman next to him, wondering what was going on.

I'm sorry. It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get your hands on any of them. It's a good idea to have a good time with them.
'Huh...'

　A woman laughs, a woman who looks like a very nimble mother.
　The man on his knees is Joseph, and next to him is his wife, Lana. And next to him is his wife, Lana. They are Else and Linse's uncle and aunt.
　Except for the royalty and others who have family members, they were brought in at the [Gate] to invite them to the castle to stay the day before the wedding.
　Of course, it was not only the couple, but their children as well. Led by their eldest daughter Emma (21), Aron (16), Sheena (10), Allen (7), Clara (6), Kirara (6), Alan (5) and Reno (3) were all there.

'Wow!　The room is soooo big!
Carpet is fluffy!
This chair is so bouncy!
Hey, guys!　Be quiet!

　The eldest daughter, Emma, chides the children for moving around. Anyway, it's noisy as hell. Reno, could you stop wiping your nose with my coat?

'Aunt Lana is Uncle Joseph okay?　You know, kings from all over the world come to weddings, and quite a few noblemen and such.　You're going to swoon, aren't you?
You don't have to do it. We're just happy that you're here. You don't have to attend the ceremony, but...

　Else and Lindsay express their concern. Yeah, I'm a little worried too. I was having a seizure during the ceremony. if they woke me up.
　But Mr. Joseph looked up with a gasp and said firmly to Else and Linse.

'What do you mean!　I'll never be able to face my sisters in the afterlife if I don't see your sunny day!　Even if I die, I'll still be there as a zombie!

　No, I don't want zombies, though. He was wobbling and shaking, but he seemed determined. I could tell that he wanted to congratulate the two of them, his niece, as well.

'Can't you do something about it, Winter Night?'
Not that I can't do it, but...

　I think it's possible to erase the trauma by using hypnosis magic [Hupnosis], but I'm not sure if it's okay to do it.
　In the meantime, I explain the magic to Lana-san and ask her permission. When I told the person in question, 'I'm going to do the hypnosis magic now,' I didn't tell Josef-san because there was a chance that I wouldn't be able to do it.

''Alright, let's try it then.''

　I stood in front of Joseph-san and focused my magic power. A thin, black fog filled the air around Joseph-san.

''Invite the darkness, planting false memories, Hupnosis.''
Huh?

　He let out a funny voice and Joseph's eyes slumbered.

'May I?　You are able to deal normally with nobles. You will be a little nervous, but you will also be able to speak in a civilized manner. You have nothing to worry about. You will be fine.
"Nobleman it's okay....

　If you say you're completely unconcerned and can treat people like a normal person, you might be rude to the nobility. It's hard to take it easy.

Is it over?
'Yeah. I think it's probably going to be okay.

　Else pans in front of Mr. Joseph's eyes!　I clapped my hands. Mr. Joseph crackled and blinked repeatedly, as if startled.

'Uncle, do you know who the man in front of you is?'
'What?　Ah, you, Fuyao Mochizuki, Your Majesty the King of Brunhild, is it not?　I'm grateful for the invitation, which is a waste of time...

　The words still sound funny, but at least they're a lot better than they were earlier. Success?

You look okay. That's a relief, but it's a waste of time.

　Joseph is scowling at Else's words. It's true that that reaction is a bit amusing, but I don't think it's going to be very positive for him.

Thank you. Your father will be able to go to the wedding tomorrow without worrying about it.
Ha. I'm glad it worked out. Now go on to your rooms. Else and the others will show you where to go.

　Joseph and his group of friends sluggishly followed Else and Linse. The children were wrapped around them, asking them questions about this and that.
　Hmmm. It's hard to have that many children........ I sincerely think Joseph is amazing. I'm not going to be someone else's problem anymore, am I?
　According to Dr. Babylon's "Jewel of the Future Vision", I'll have nine children, which is more than Joseph's.

"Will I be able to have a proper 'father' like Joseph-san........
You are here, Lord Winterfellas, that you are.

　Yae and her family, her father Shigebei, her mother Shichie, her brother Shigetaro, and Ayane, the former maid of the Kokonoe family who became her fiancé, arrived in turn, as did Joseph and his family.
　Naturally, Yae's family was to stay at the castle as well as Joseph and the others. Yae said she was going to show them around town, but I wonder if she came back.
　Hey, isn't Shigetaro-san in good spirits?

"I mean..... I lost to my sister-in-law again, that I did. And.....
'I didn't think I'd be beaten by Yae...'

　Aaaaah........ I've been training Yae with my sister Morohane on a daily basis. You're going to be able to find out the best way to get the most out of your own personal life.
　I'm sure it's a bit of a shock to lose to my sister, who once taught me how to use a sword.

'Didn't you stand with Yae, Shigebei-san?
When I saw his fight with Shigetaro, I realized that it was beyond my reach. If I was 20 years younger, I might have struggled a bit more. As a parent, I'm grateful to you for surpassing me.

　Hmmm, I guess it's something like that. As for Shigetaro-san, he still can't seem to master that much.

"Fuyadono!
'Wow, yes!'

　Shigetaro-san suddenly walked out in front of me, dropped to his knees and bowed deeply. Not again!　Don't get down on your knees like that, Mr. Joseph!

"I beg you to leave me alone in this country!　I would like to receive instruction in swordsmanship from Lord Morobadono here as well as from Yae!
What?

　Just as his sister called him a swordsmanship idiot, Shigetaro-san seems to go out of control when it comes to swords. Even if you say something like that out of the blue.

''Uh........um, does that mean you're going to join our knightly order?''
'No!　The only person I serve is Lord Tokugawa Ieyasu. I would like to live in this country and practice my religion for a while...!

　He looks up with a bare face and gives me a straight look. Ugh. Seriously.
　Well, what should we do? Morohana's sister seems to agree with you easily, saying, 'No problem,' but....
　You are not currently in an important position, but you are a vassal of Ieyasu-san's family. When I glanced at Shigebei-san, he was nodding his head in a small way.

'I understand. For now, I'd like to talk to Ieyasu-san before making a decision. If you decide to come here, I will prepare a house for you in the castle, so please live with Ayane.
Thank you!
Oh, thank you!

　In addition to Shigetaro, who bowed even more on his knees, Ayane lowered his head even more. Well, you're going to be my brother-in-law, so this is the least I can do. You can't separate your fiancées from each other, can you?

''Thank you, Fuyao-dono, that I do appreciate it.

　Yae smiles. I guess she still cared about it. She's an older brother's girl, so maybe she was caught up in remorse, like she had hurt herself or something.
　However, if Shigetaro-san and the others were to live here as well, Shigebei-san and Shichie-san might miss her. Maybe I should open the [Gate] several times a week, or I should install a [Gate]-granting mimic in Shigetaro-san's house that only two people can pass through.




　Night.
　We ate as usual, talked and played games in the salon as usual, and returned to our respective rooms.
　It was my last night as a bachelor, so I was alone in bed in a big pile.

It's my last night as a bachelor and I'm in bed alone. I'm getting married tomorrow..." I don't really feel it. I'll be a wife-beater tomorrow. And nine of them.

　Too many, I think, and I'm dismayed at myself. But I am certain that every child is important to me. I really want to make them happy.
　Since I came to this world, I've met many people. I've met a lot of people since I came to this world, and meeting them was a great thing in my life, without a doubt.
　For that reason alone, I'm glad I came to this other world.

''A lot of things have happened...''

　 It's not a good omen.
　Now, with tomorrow coming up, I'd better get to bed early. I crawl under the covers and turn out the light.
　I close my eyes for a while, but my consciousness is oddly clear and I can't sleep at all....
　When I checked the time on my phone, it was around 10pm. I had to get up at five o'clock tomorrow to get ready for all sorts of things. It's time to go to bed............but I can't sleep. I wonder if I'm nervous about tomorrow.

'No, I can't sleep.'

　I jumped up on the futon and got up. Glancing around the corner of the room, I see Amber and the others sleeping comfortably on their own beds. That's nice.
　If it comes to this, should I cast a [Sleep Cloud] spell on myself?
　But you can't set the timing for waking up. It's also embarrassing to sleep in on your wedding day, and I wonder if the mental magic you cast on yourself will work on you before that.　Self-suggestion, there's a word for it, and it sounds fine.
　Nah, I'm getting less and less sleepy. Maybe I'll just watch the Internet on my phone. I might get sleepy sooner or later.
　I should collect the latest information about Earth for our honeymoon.

'Oh, so we can go to other countries as well as Japan?

　You can't open [Gate] unless you've been there once. To be more precise, it can only be opened if you can't accurately visualize the transference destination.
　On Earth, even places I've never been to are filled with internet and photos. I can go to the pyramids in Egypt, or Waikiki Beach in Hawaii, or Ayers Rock in Australia by using that. We can use the magic of translation for words.
　　I thought you couldn't use magic on Earth because we don't have magic power...?
　No, I think they said that if you use the divine energy, you can use it in one way or another. If not, you can't [transfer to another space].
　That means Linse and Lean can use a little magic over there too. No, we have to be careful not to use it, though.
　There's no magic over there, so it's going to be a big deal.
　But it doesn't make me sleepy. The more impatient I get, the clearer my consciousness becomes.

I'll have a cup of tea.

　I got up and went out to the balcony to catch the night breeze. The full moon, the same full moon as my "Namae," was twinkling in the night sky, lighting up the land.
　There was no hustle and bustle or brightness like in the city, only the faint light of the castle town was twinkling. Hmm?

Can't sleep?
Yeah, well, you know. I think he's a little nervous.

　When I turned around, I saw the World God sitting at a table on the balcony, brewing tea in a teapot.
　As the World God's attendant, I am this person (?). I can feel the presence of the descent of the I can somehow understand the feeling of 'coming'. I don't know about sister Hanakoi and the like, so I'm always surprised by her sudden appearance.

It's a tea made from tea leaves from the divine world. Drinking it will help you get a good night's sleep.
Thank you, sir.

　I sat down across from him and had a cup of tea in a teacup. Oh, the tea pillar is standing up. I remember the first time I met the World God, there was a tea stall standing there too.

Tomorrow is the day, at last. I'm a little nervous too. It's the first time I've attended a wedding ceremony like this.
Ha. Nice to meet you.

　He's the only one who can hold down Kamisummers, because he's the only one who can. Sister Hanakoi and Drunken Flowers are going to be in a hurry to get into the swing of things.

It's the right thing to send you into this world. Everything that has been stagnant seems to have started moving forward. Stimulus from another world is moving in the right direction.

　Is that right?　Well, I'm glad if it helped this world.

"Fuyao-kun, do you like this world?
Yes. And I've met everyone.
I see. I'm glad to hear that. The World God has to manage many different worlds. Some of them are more difficult to handle than others, but they are also more interesting. This world has never had any special characteristics. If it's a world lacking in interest, the other gods won't be interested in it either. And I too have neglected it for a long time.

　I'm not going to lie. I'm sure you're saying it was an ordinary world, but it wasn't ordinary to me. There was no magic in the original world.

I'm glad to see that it's becoming a world of interest to the gods again. "It is becoming a world where the gods are taking notice again. It's a blessing to have this place as a sanctuary for the gods. It's going to be a bit noisy, though.

　A new stream of gods living as people and interacting with people might be created. That in itself may be a welcome development, but as the one entrusted with the management of this world, it would be best not to make too much of a fuss.

The gods that come down tomorrow will be taken by us to greet them before the ceremony. Don't worry, I'll tell them not to get in the way.
Nice to meet you.

　I'd like to ask you to be rather serious.

Well, I'd better get to bed. That's a bad sign for tomorrow.
'Well...'

　I found myself a bit sleepy. Tea from the divine world certainly seems to help. My eyelids are starting to feel foggy. I think they're yawning.

So long. I'll see you tomorrow.

　After saying that, the World God disappears. I was immediately overcome with a strong sleepiness, so I hurriedly returned to my room from the balcony, collapsed on my bed, and crawled under the covers.
　In the blink of an eye, my consciousness fell into a dream, and my last night as a bachelor came to an end.


　　　　　　　　　　◇ ◇ ◇


　Boom, boom, boom, a loud fireworks cannon echoed through the air. Blessed with a clear, cloudless sky, the town of Brunhild has been teeming with people since this morning.
　They have come from near and far to watch the king's wedding ceremony today. People have come from near and far, as well as merchants who have come to watch the ceremony. It's still early in the day for the ceremony, but the eager merchants have already set up shop and started to attend to their guests.
　A small parade is also planned for this afternoon. However, the giants of steel that line the entrance of the town are more interesting to visitors.
　Flamegears, with their swords thrust into the earth and their hilts held in their hands, must have stunned those who have never been to this country before. Of course, the knights on guard are there to prevent you from approaching or touching them.
　In a nearby stall lined with frame gear, the Strand Trading Company's capsule toys were lined up in a row. Unlike on Earth, though, they are not unmanned, as there might be theft.
　Not only children, but even adults began to turn the handle of the capsule and buy the mini-figures of the frame gear. It seems that Earth and other worlds are the same in this area. They want what they want. Of course, there are many people who buy them as souvenirs.
　People who came from far away were waiting for the wedding ceremony to start, looking at those rare things that can only be found in this country. Of course, the people of this country feel the same way.
　Soon, a solemn ringing of bells is heard from the town's highest clock tower.

　The wedding ceremony was about to begin.
