Oh...!
Don't tell me a genie has actually appeared in the sky...!

　All of the invited guests were indeed buzzing when they saw the six great spirits floating in the air.
　In this world, the people have more faith in the spirits that appear in front of their eyes than in the gods that don't show themselves. The people of the Great Sea of Trees worship the spirits of the Great Tree, for example.
　There's even a theory that it's the spirits commanded by the gods that created this world. Well, this is actually true. That's what the World God, Gohonin, said.

"In the name of the Great Spirit, we, the undersigned, the Duke of Brunhild and his consort, do hereby bless the marriage of the Duke and King of Brunhild and his nine wives.

　The Great Spirit of Light announced this in a calm voice. At the direct voice from the great spirit, the hall that had been buzzing a moment ago fell silent as if it had been struck by water.
　It's not unreasonable. Normally, spirits rarely appear. Furthermore, there would be only a handful of humans who had ever heard their voices. Most people would be so startled that they wouldn't even be able to speak. Well, there were beings in the invited guests that were even higher in rank than those spirits.
　Looking closely, the great spirits seem to be nervous too. It's natural. The god of the world's creation, who is much higher than me, the Spirit King, is right there.... I have a little sympathy for him.
　But somehow, please do your job.

From now on, I hope that from now on, we will share our joys and sorrows, and support each other throughout our lives with an unchanging love.

　A voice sounded a little nervous from the Great Spirit of Fire. ''Good luck,'' he said.

"We, the Great Spirit, wish you the gift of matrimony.

　As I spun the words of the great spirit of the earth, nine rings appeared in front of me with light. They are rings of platinum gold that emit a divine light.
　Surprisingly, these rings are actually a "divine artifact". It's also hand made by the World God. It's a wedding gift from the World God.
　This ring is just like a receiver, to make it easier for you to accept my "divine love" and raise my status as a member of the family. To put it bluntly, it is a magic item that will take you to the lowest level of the gods, the subordinate god level. It is a tremendous gift. Of course, it has no effect on me if someone else equips it.
　I took the ring in my hand and put it on the ring finger of each bride's left hand, and this time a light was born from each of the nine rings and began to drift through the air and gather on my left hand ring finger.
　When the light subsided, a ring similar to everyone else's appeared on the ring finger of my left hand. I could tell just by looking at it. This is a one-of-a-kind ring filled with all kinds of blessings from gods, spirits and everyone else.
　As I was fascinated by the ring, the Great Spirit of Darkness, in its youngest form, spoke up.

I have seen that the marriage has been consummated. We, the Spirit King, bless this marriage.

　It's strange to be blessed by the proxy of the Spirit King 《Jibun》.
　A small spirit appeared from somewhere and happily flew in the sky, capturing the eyes of the invited guests. Red, blue, green, brown, yellow and purple, the colorful lights drew a beautiful trail in the sky.
　The great spirits became fire and water again and rose into the sky in a swirling spiral, accompanied by the small spirits. Like fireworks that shot high into the sky, the glittering grains of light spread out in a flash, creating a huge rainbow in the sky.
　The guests cheered and applauded the wonderful scene. You've done a splendid job. I'll thank you later.
　Anyway, the Great Spirits were the witnesses and our marriage was official.
　As my lifelong companion, I will continue to live with them for the rest of my life.
　We were now officially married.
　A bell rang from the town's clock tower. It doesn't tell the time; it's a bell ringing to bless us. It is said that the ringing of bells wards off evil spirits and keeps away misfortune.
　As if in response to the sound of the bell, flower petals rained down on our heads again. I wondered if the flower god was doing this.
　I gently raise Else's wedding veil amidst the fluttering petals in the wind.

It's nice to meet you, Else.
You got it. If you weren't a coward, I'd slap you around.

　That's scary. We laugh and kiss our vows. We're embarrassed in public, so we lightly kiss each other's cheeks.
　Else always leads the way. She will open up our lives together. Of course, I'm going to be there by her side.
　I'm not afraid of any difficulties with her. Else gives me courage.
　Next, I stand in front of her sister, Linse, and quietly raise her wedding veil.

'Take care of Linse too.
Yes. I'll do my best to support Fuyao-san.

　Linse smiles at me while she is in tears. I kiss her cheeks to wipe those tears away. Linse returns it to me in the same way.
　She supports me in the shadows and in the sun. I want to be a husband who can respond to her single-mindedness. I think she is very impressionable and makes a lot of effort to help others, and I think she would make a good mother as well. ........is it too soon?
　She continued to raise her eight-fold wedding veil. She smiles at me and opens her mouth.

'I will continue to be there for you until the end of my life, sir.
Thank you, Yae.

　Probably, though.
　Yae and the others are aligned with the subordinate gods due to the World God's Ring and my 'divine love', so as long as I don't die, I think we can live in the same time.
　Her words are a bit exaggerated, but I guess it's an expression of Yae's feelings. I feel the same way. I've decided to walk through life with them.
　Both Yae and I kiss each other on the cheek and move to the front of Suu next to her.

The winter night is so dangerous. "Fuyu is not safe, so I'll stay with you.
Haha. You can count on me.

　Due to the height difference, I bend down a little and kiss Sue's cheek. I've been grabbed by the neck from Suu and pulled up. You're still pushy as ever. I can't help but laugh.
　Suh's innocent nature is a lifesaver in many ways. She seems to be able to move forward with hope in any pessimistic situation. It's just that she's a bit curious, but that's part of who she is.
　Next, I'm going to raise Yumina's wedding veil. I'm not going to be rude if I say it's unexpected, but Yumina has tears in both of her eyes. And she smiles at me.

''I'm so happy........ It has been my dream to become the wife of the person I love in this way. Now.........I am truly happy.
Yeah. I feel the same way.

　She may have been the one who had the most longing for the idea of marriage. Depending on her own country's position, an unwanted marriage or grooming as a member of a royal family was a possibility. It is unlikely that that King Belfast would have allowed such a marriage to take place, but she would surely have been raised to the spear of the nobles.
　But she made her own way in the world. I respect that strength.
　I kiss Yumina on the cheek, and now I step in front of Lean.

I'm amazed that this has happened in my life. You do live long enough.
I've got a long way to go. My wife and I have a long way to go.

　She chuckled and kissed Leanne and each other on the other's cheek. For a long time, she had friends, but no one to call family. Maybe she created Paula because she wanted someone to be there for her for a long time.
　From now on, she'll have us. I won't let her be lonely.
　I continued to move to the front of Lou and lifted my wedding veil and kissed her cheek, just like everyone else. She does the same for me and kisses me on the cheek.

''From now on, you'll have to trust me with your daily meals.
'Please don't make me fat...'

　Lou gives me a sly smile. Her food is really good. I'm afraid I'll eat too much and gain weight. I wonder if this divine body will not get fat?　But there was a god who was fat.
　It's called "happy and fat", but it shouldn't mean that you get fat just because you are happy. You eat too much because your wife's cooking is good and so on. If I eat, I will exercise properly.
　You stand in front of the cherry blossom tree with such a resolution in your mind.

''I'm hungry, king, I'm hungry.''
...just hang on a little longer.

　Sakura is still very fast-paced in this situation. That's the good thing about her, though. She's not a talkative person, but somehow she makes you feel at home with her even if she doesn't say anything. Like her songs, this self-pacedness may give you a sense of peace.
　We lifted her veil and kissed each other's cheeks. I'm sure you're not going to be able to find a way to make the most out of your time with the company.
　The last bride, Hilda, came in front of me. Normally she exudes an air of dignity, but for today, her inherent cuteness is more pronounced.

''Fuyao-sama, I look forward to seeing you for a long time.
You're welcome.

　Her words are as stiff as ever, but that's how sincere she is. Let's not disappoint her.
　I lifted my veil and kissed her cheek, and although somewhat nervous, Hilda returned her lips to my cheek as well.
　The bell rings again.
　I unfolded the 【Speaker】 and bowed to the invited guests lined up in front of me.

''Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to gather for us today. We are young and inexperienced, but we will work together to build a prosperous country and happy families. We hope that we can continue to have the same kind of support and guidance as we have in the past.

　A thunderous round of applause falls on us with the petals. We bow our heads deeply and show our appreciation to all the invited guests.
　A white dove fluttered into the sky all at once from somewhere. We watched them fly away with the sound of the ringing bell for a long time.




Now, Fuyao-kun and our hometown have a tradition called 'Buketosu'. It is said that if you receive a bouquet of flowers thrown backwards by a happy bride and present it to the person you love, your love will be fulfilled and you will be happy. But only single men take part in the bouquet. If you have the love of your life, join this event!　You'll find happiness in your hands!

　''Ooohhhhhhhh!'' to Hanakoi's voice through the [speaker]. A thick voice rang out, and men flocked to the altar.
　Wait a minute. That's not quite the bouquet toss I know.
　Everyone in line at the altar looks a bit confused. As I was about to return to the stage, Morohana grabbed me by the shoulders and held me back.

I'm sure the bouquet toss in your world would make women too intimidated to participate, right?　Sister Hanakoi says it's more exciting this way.

　Mu. I read on the internet that many people don't want to participate in the bouquet toss these days. It seems that there are various reasons for this, such as "I'm embarrassed when I desperately go to pick up my bouquet in front of people, as if I'm in a hurry to get married" or "I don't want people to know that I'm the only one who's single".
　If you're a guy, well, I'm not that embarrassed.... Well, it also said that the male version of the bouquet toss is not a bouquet, but a broccoli toss. They say it's going to be full of offspring and happiness because it has a lot of bunches.
　I think a bouquet is more beautiful than broccoli, so if you're going to throw it, I think a bouquet is fine.
　The bachelors are gathered in front of the altar. From the youngest to the oldest... hey, even Dolan is joining in!
　Micah's father and the owner of the inn "Silver Moon" in Rivlet town. It's true that he's a widower and a bachelor.......
　Standing awkwardly beside him is Lantz, who is in love with his daughter Mika. Huh?　Are the Knights of the Order in on it?　

'Security will be fine. There's a bunch of Nantaloes keeping an eye out for you.

　Sister Morobane replied with a laugh, but those guys are cats, right?　Well, it's no ordinary cat....
　If you look closely, there are many acquaintances among the participants.
　Will, the apprentice knight of the Belfast Knights. He's the boy who worked with Rebecca and Logan who became our knight in the desert. If I take the bouquet, I'll give it to her, Wendy.
　The others are Garun, the warrior chief of the Mismid, an adventurer from Yishen, and Rengeki, a stickman. New adventurers Rop and Klaus, and... wow, even the boy king of Paloof?　Prince Pumpkin Pants, Robert is there too. Hey, wait, Ende, you too?
　Other than that, knights from various countries and bachelors of nobility will come forward. There are nine bouquets, so I think we have a pretty good chance, but that's not too many!

'I'll tell you up front, this has nothing to do with status or anything else. The one who gets it is the winner. Therefore, it is against the law to take away someone's happiness once you have it. Whoever takes away someone else's happiness is unhappy with himself.

　Sister Hanakoi nailed it. The men spread out from the front of the altar, inching in and out of the front of the altar as they towed the men around them. Their eyes caught the brides on the altar, keeping an eye on the men around them. The other guests watched with amusement. A bouquet toss to share happiness turned into something otherworldly and bleak.

''Then everyone turn around. Then turn around and throw the bouquet backwards as hard as you can on my signal.

　Following sister Hanakoi's instructions, all of the brides turn around. The next moment, drala-la-la-la-la!　And then a shrill sound rang out. What is this drum roll?　When I turned around, I saw Kanasuke's brother playing the drums single-mindedly. 'What are you doing, music god?

'Then let's go!　Se-no!

　With a bang, nine bouquets flew in the sky. Some bouquets flew high, some flew low, and some flew in the wrong direction. That's the one Sue threw.

I got it!

　Taking advantage of the beastly spring, Garun-san leaps. Aiming at the one that flew low, he reached higher than the others and grabbed the falling bouquet in his hand - before Ende, who made an even higher leap from the side, snatched it away. Ugh.

''Got it!''

　Ende, who got the bouquet, landed lightly. You're in love with Mel, you're in love with both of them, so give them that........

''Yes!''
d*mn it, d*mn it!
Oh, yeah!
'Ahhhh...'

　When I was taken aback by Ende, I heard voices of joy and sorrow flying everywhere.
　It seems that some of my acquaintances got them too. Oh, did you get the boy king of Paloof too?　How did you manage to get it off with that height.......

''I picked it up from the men's hands as if it had fallen from their hands like a cue.
Oh, I see.

　Amber, who was waiting at the side, told me with a telepathic message. Ah, my fiancée Rachel, who is a duchess, is jumping up and down and happy.
　Oh, you got it too, Lantz-kun? ........I'm kind of talking to Mika-san with my gaze. Both of them have red faces, and they don't seem to have noticed that Dolan-san behind them is glaring at them. Is this a world of two people?　By the way, Mr. Dolan also got a bouquet.
　And Will had gotten a bouquet too. Not surprisingly, her Wendy has a delighted look on her face among the invited guests behind her. You're getting the Prince of Pumpkin Pants, too.
　

It's just that I don't want her to be disappointed that she didn't get the bride's bouquet.
'Nyahahaha. Hanakoi-chan, you're good. Now this bouquet toss is going to be popular.

　Sister Karina and Drunken Flower call out to me as if they read my mind. Eh?　No way.........
　I turned my gaze to Hanakoi sister, and she lightly winked back at me. I knew it. You used some kind of power, didn't you?
　It's not very complimentary, but let's pretend we didn't see it here.... Yeah, that's fine.
