On the day of Mitsunaga-kun and Cattleya-sanās wedding, we left home early in the morning. The wedding was to be held not in the royal capital, but in a town called Varen, the area where Mitsunaga-kun is the Feudal Lord, so we need time to travel there.
Well, though I say that, it is not that far from the capital, so thereās no need for us to arrive the day before, and thereās no problem if we take a Flying Dragon Flight on the morning of the day of the wedding.
If we were attending the wedding party, we would have more time to spare, but since we were also gonna attend the wedding ceremony, we had to leave reasonably early.
Though perhaps, just as she did on our previous trip to Rigforeshiaā¦ā¦ The reason why she didnāt want to come in the day before to Varen may be because Lilia-san wanted to travel by Mary-sanās Flying Dragon Flight, of which she was the owner.
After enjoying the view from the sky for a while, a town with the atmosphere of a trading town came into view.
[Yes, itās not that big, but itās a thriving town that serves as a hub for trade between the East and the West. As he was engaged to Princess Cattleya, a good piece of land must have been chosen to be given to him.]
[I seeā¦ā¦ By the way, itās quite refreshing to see Luna-san not in a maid uniform.]
[Iāve been officially invited to this event since I was in the Knight Order and we had an exchange through Milady. I canāt attend wearing a maid uniform in that case, right?]
Luna-san, who gave me a quick explanation, wasnāt dressed in her usual maid uniform today, and was instead clad in a slightly casual dressā¦ā¦ It somehow looked like an outfit a woman would wear to a friendās wedding.
They said that this kind of outfit was acceptable instead of a gown, and Sieg-san was also wearing the same kind of outfit as Luna-san. In any case, the two of them are still members of the Albert Duchy on public occasionsā¦ā¦ In other words, theyāre recognized as Lilia-sanās followers, so theyāre wearing clothes that are a few ranks down from Lilia-sanās attire.
It seems that nobles need to be considerate of such aspects as well, which I think is quite troublesome. It was fortunate how there were no particular complications about that this time, since Aoi-chan, Hina-chan and I were each participating as individuals.
In the meantime, we arrived in front of a large church where the wedding was to take place. The church is of a size that would be better described as a cathedral or a temple than a church, and if the wedding were to be held here, it would likely be of considerable size.
We got off at a place that was temporarily prepared as a landing place for Flying Dragon Flights, a short distance away from the event, and walked to the front of the church. There, I registered the location in my Teleportation Magic Tool and then called out to Lilia-san.
[Well then, Lilia-san. Iām going to pick up my companionā¦ā¦]
Hearing what I said, Lilia-san looked at me with a puzzled expression on her face. Arehh? Thatās strange? I thought I had told her beforehand properly so that she wouldnāt get angryā¦ā¦
Yes, as soon as I heard back from Mitsunaga-kun, I immediately reportedā¦ā¦ reā¦ā¦ portedā¦ā¦
Aaaaaaahhhhh!? I- I just remembered! T- Thatās right. I certainly went to report to Lilia-san at that time, but she wasnāt there and I couldnāt report this to her.
On my way back to my room, I met Illness-san and went to the night market with herā¦ā¦ I completely thought I had finished my report!
[ā¦ā¦Kaito-san? Please explain. This companionā¦ā¦ Whatās this about?]
Lilia-san spoke with a smile on her face, but her eyes werenāt smiling at all. I feel like Iām seeing the silhouette of a Demon God behind her.
I could really feel her thoughts, seemingly asking me if I did something again.
Realizing that giving out poor excuses was a bad move, I immediately bowed my head and apologized. I quickly explained the circumstances to Lilia-san.
After listening to my explanation, Lilia-san was silent while I shrunk down, feeling like a prisoner waiting for my sentence to be carried out.
After a long, crushingly heavy silence, Lilia-san let out a sigh.
[ā¦ā¦Haahhhā¦ā¦ Well, be careful next time.]
[Oya, Milady? Is it alright not to lecture Miyama-sama, looking like a half-crying Ogre just like usual?]
[No, I donāt think I usually look like thatā¦ā¦]
Iām kinda doubtful about that. Her face certainly doesnāt look like it, but I feel like I can see an Oni behind herā¦ā¦ so Iām really scaredā¦ā¦ However, even though Iām not Luna-san, I also thought she would get angryā¦ā¦
[He certainly forgot to report it, but it seems that Kaito-san tried to report it in advanceā¦ā¦ In the first place, since he had obtained permission from Cathy and Seigi-san, itās not my place to say anything about it. I donāt think Kaito-san had any bad intentions either, so I wonāt get angry with him about this.]
[Anyhow, Kaito-san, youāre going to pick up your companion, right? If youāre using your Teleportation Magic Tool, you will be able to return soon while we have already gone to greet Cathy and Seigi-san, so please join us later. If you ask the person in charge, they should be able to lead you to us.]
Relieved that she wasnāt angry with me, I nodded to Lilia-sanās words, before teleporting to pick up my companion.
After Kaito disappeared with his Teleportation Magic Tool, Lilia and the others headed inside the church. On the way, Lunamaria spoke to Lilia.
[ā¦ā¦Speaking of which, it seems like you forgot to ask who this companion is, didnāt you?]
[Now that you mentioned it, youāre right. Though he says that, I donāt think it would be any of the Six Kings or the Supreme Gods. They have no connections with Cathy and Seigi-san, and even if they do decide to participate, I donāt think they would bother to request to participate in the ceremony instead of the wedding party. Itās just a guess, but I think it would be that emigrant whom Kaito-san said he recently met?]
[Ahh~~ I see. It certainly wouldnāt be surprising if they would want to attend the wedding of someone from the same world as themā¦ā¦ I see, the reason why Milady seemed relaxed is that you were sure that no big names would come to the ceremony?]
[As I said earlier, such big names wouldnāt have any reason to attend Cathy and Seigi-sanās ceremony.]
Lilia smiled serenely as she said that. However, upon seeing her expression, Lunamaria seemed to be thinking for a moment and muttered.
[ā¦ā¦I wonder why? What Milady says makes sense, and the logic should be that it was indeed the caseā¦ā¦ In my experience, when Milady is this composed, Miyama-sama would often unleash an unexpected move and make her stomach hurtā¦ā¦]
[Stop saying those ominous things. It will be alright.]
[It would be great if that were the case butā¦ā¦]
