Chapter 446 - Family Visits, and the Eve of the Weddin

<b>446 Family Visits, and the Eve of the Wedding</b>

“Thank you for inviting us to the wedding ceremony, Your Lordship! I am very happy!”

“No, I understand, please stand up …”

Instead of looking around the room to answer the person, I have to look at the ground. He’s doing a dogeza while a woman is standing beside him.

“I’m sorry. As usual, he is not good at talking with aristocrats and nobles. Other than that, please forgive him.”

“Huh …”

A woman who is really crazy laughs. (TLN: or “A woman who looks really crazy laughs.”)

The man sitting on the ground is Joseph. And next to him is his wife, Rana. They are Elze and Linze’s uncle and aunt.

Except for those who have a high-ranking family, such as royalty, the girls brought them through the [Gate] I created to bring them to the castle the day before the wedding and will have them stay overnight.

Of course, not only the couple came, but also their children. The sisters’ cousins came with the eldest daughter being Emma (21) at the top, Aaron (16), Sheena (10), Allen (7), Clara (6), Kirara (6), Alan (5), and Reno (3). (TLN: So many names! *Furiously types on google to see if the names are written correctly*)

“Wow! This room is really big!”

“Carpet fluffy!”

“This chair is really bouncy!”

“Hey, you guys! Be quiet!”

Emma-san, the eldest daughter, talks to the moving children. Anyways, it’s noisy. Reno-chan, can you please stop wiping your nose with my coat?

“Aunt Rana … Uncle Joseph, will you be okay? There will be kings from all over the world at the wedding, and there will be quite a few aristocrats, right?

“It’s better not to overdo it … We’re happy if you just come. Even if you don’t attend the ceremony …”

Elze and Linze are worried. Yeah, I’m a little worried too. What would happen if Joseph-san had one of his seizures(?) like before, during the ceremony.

However, Joseph-san raised his face and said firmly to Elze and Linze.

“What are you two talking about! I won’t have enough face to meet my sister in the other world if I miss you two’s wedding! Even if I die, I’ll awaken and become a zombie just to attend!”

No, becoming a zombie wouldn’t be that good. He was quivering, but Joseph-san’s determination seems to be firm. His desire to see his two nieces’ wedding was conveyed to everyone in the room.

“Touya-san, is there anything that we can do to help him?”

“It’s not impossible, but …”

I think it is possible to eliminate his prior trauma by using the magic [Hypnosis], but is it okay to do it? (TLN: Joseph’s previous traumatic experience had something to do with a noble and some punishment. I don’t remember the situation well….)

For the time being, I will explain the magic to Rana and get permission. If I told Joseph-san directly, “I’m going to cast hypnosis magic on you so you won’t be scared by high-ranking people from now on,” it may not happen, so I kept silent to him.

“Okay, let’s try it.”

I stand in front of Joseph-san and concentrate my magical power. A thin black fog rushed around him.

“[Invite me to darkness, plant false memories, hypnosis]”

“Fuhe?”

With a strange voice, Joseph’s eyes daze with a .

“Everything is okay. You can deal with aristocrats normally. You may be a little nervous, but you can speak politely. No worries. It’s okay.”

“Aristocrat … okay …”

He can treat them like a normal person without any problems. Though, it is difficult to adjust his mindset to that opinion easily because of his previous fear..

“Finished?”

“Yeah. I think this will work now.”

Assured by me, Elze goes in front of Joseph-san and claps her hands loudly. As if awoken from sleep, Joseph-san repeatedly blinks his eyes..

“Uncle, do you know who the person in front of you is?”

“Oh, oh, Touya Mochizuki … Your Majesty the King of Brunhild? Thank you for inviting us to the wedding …”

It still feels strange, but at least it’s a lot better than before. I guess this can be called a success?

“He seems to be okay as a husband. I feel relieved, but I feel like I’ll miss you two, Elze and Linze.”

Joseph replies to Elze’s words and his reactions are a little interesting, but I think it will be very positive for him from now on.

“Thank you. Father can now go to tomorrow’s wedding with confidence.”

“Haha. I’m glad it went well. Then you should go to your rooms. Elze and Linze will guide you.”

A group of Joseph-san and his family follow Elze and Linze. The children clung to them, asking questions.

Huh. It’s hard to have that many children … I really think Joseph is amazing. I wonder if I will even be a person anymore after the wedding night…..

According to Professor Babylon’s “Jewel of the Future”, I will have one more child than Joseph-san …

“Is it possible to be a dad like Joseph-san?”

“Touya-dono, why don’t you stay here and meet my family, again?”

In the place of Joseph-san and his family came Yae and her family, her father Jubei-san, her mother Nanae-san, her older brother Jutaro-san, and Ayane-san who recently became the fiancée of Jutaro-san.

Naturally, Yae’s family is supposed to stay at this castle just like Elze and Linze’s family. Yae said she would show them around the town, but I wonder when.

Is Jutaro-san doing well?

“Crap …. I lost to Moraha-nee who will soon become my sister-in-law. In addition……”

“To lose to Yae …”

Ah … Yae is trained by Moroha-neesan almost every day. In addition to being able to improve her ability, I’m sure that her [God’s Love characteristic] has also been added into the mix, so she’s getting really strong.

Is it really a shock to lose to Yae who is basically the disciple of Moroha-nee who is the Sword God?

“Did Jutaro-san not win against Yae?”

“Yes. When I saw her match with Jutaro, I knew that winning wasn’t in even my reach. Even if I was about twenty young, I might still have a hard time. As a parent, I thank you for helping her surpass me.”

Hmmm, is it such a thing? Jutaro-san doesn’t seem to be able to see that much, yet.

“Touya-san!”

“Wha, yes !?”

Jutaro-san suddenly stepped forward in front of me, kneeled, and bowed deeply. What are you doing! I just stopped Joseph-san from doing this thing!

“Please let me live in this country for a while! I would like to receive the same sword skills as Yae from practicing with Moraha-nee!”

“Eh !?”

Just like his sister, Yae, Jutaro-san seems to lose control and becomes really passionate when talking about swords. Even if he suddenly says that…..

“Ah … well, do you mean to join our knights?”

“No! I only serve Tokugawa-sama. I just want to live in this country and train for a while …!”

He raises his face and looks straight at me. Ua. His face is serious.

Well, what should I do? Moroha-nee seems to give permission to allow me to add disciples for her, easily, saying, “It’s okay.”

Jutaro-san is not currently in an important position, but he is also a vassal of Ieyasu-san. When I looked at Jubei-san, he nodded a little.

“I understand. I’d like to talk to Ieyasu-san first and then decide. If you are allowed to come here, I’ll prepare a place in the castle for you to live with Ayane-san.”

“Thank you!”

“Oh, thank you!”

In addition to Jutaro-san who lowered his head further in his dogeza state, Ayane-san also bowed to me. Well, he’s going to be my brother-in-law, and that’s about it. The reason for allowing Ayane-san to stay is because a fiancee shouldn’t be separated from her lover.

“Thank you, Touya-dono.”

Yae smiles. I wonder if she was concerned about the couple. Since he is an older brother, she may have felt guilty if I separated the two of them.

However, if those two also live here, Jubei-san and Nanae-san may be lonely. I wonder if I will have to open [Gate] several times a week, or install it in the Kokonoes’ house.

Night. (TLN: If you want to get the full emotional effect of this part of the chapter, I’d recommend listening to a reminiscing tune, without any vocals and just the instruments, while reading.)

Everyone ate as usual, talked in the living room and played games as usual, and returned to each of our rooms.

It was the last night we were going to be single, so I was alone on the bed.

“I’m getting married tomorrow … the realization hasn’t really kicked in yet. It feels strange. Will I really be married tomorrow? And with nine people, nonetheless.”

I am amazed at myself, saying that there are too many. However, it is certain that every one of my brides are important to me. I really want them to be happy.

I have met various people since I came to this world. There is no doubt that meeting them was a wonderful thing in my life.

I’m glad I came to another world just because of that.

“There were various things …”

What I’ve done so far has been really exciting… it’s more exciting than my previous life.

Well, the wedding is tomorrow, so it’s better to go to bed early. I crawl into the futon and turn off the lights.

I closed my eyes for a while, but my consciousness was strangely awake and active and I couldn’t sleep at all …

When I checked the time on my smartphone, it was around 22:00. (TLN: 10 P.M.)  I have to get up at five o’clock tomorrow and make various preparations. It’s time to go to bed … but I can’t sleep. Am I nervous about tomorrow?

“No, I can’t sleep”

I get off the futon and get up. A glance at the corner of the room revealed that the summoned beasts were sleeping comfortably in their beds. That’s good.

In this situation, do I cast [Sleep Cloud] on myself?

However, I can’t set the timing of when it should wear off. It’s embarrassing to oversleep on the wedding day, and I wonder if the spiritual magic that I cast tonight would affect me?.

I’m getting a bit sleepier. Should I check what’s happening online on my smartphone? I may get sleepy soon if I do that.

I’m going to the Earth on my honeymoon, so I have to collect the latest information over there.

“Well, can I go to other countries as well as Japan?”

[Gate] can only be opened to a place I know of already. To put it correctly, if you can’t imagine the transfer destination accurately, you can’t use it.

On Earth, there are a lot of internet photos even of places I have never been to. Using them, I can go to the Egyptian pyramids, the Waikiki beaches in Hawaii, and Ayers Rock in Australia. The language problem could easily be solved using translation magic. (TLN: No America, Touya-san? (ಠ_ಠ)  )

………… What is that? You can’t use magic because there is no magical power on Earth …? (TLN: He’s asking us readers…)

No, I think that if I use Divinity, I can use it. If I don’t, I wouldn’t be able to use [Space-time Magic].

I wonder if Linze and Leen can use some magic over there. No, we have to be careful not to use it.

Since there’s no magic over there, if anyone was caught using it, it would become a huge mess.

…… I still haven’t gotten sleepy. The more impatient I am, the more active my consciousness becomes.

“… Do you want to drink tea?”

I get up and go out to the balcony to feel the night breeze. The full moon brilliantly floated in the night sky, illuminating the things below brightly.

There is no hustle and bustle in the city, and only the faint lights of the castle town are blinking. Oh?

“You can’t sleep?”

“… Yeah, that’s about right. It seems that I’m nervous about the wedding tomorrow.”

When I turned around, I saw the World God sitting on the balcony table brewing tea in a teacup.

As a dependent of the World God, I can feel the sign of this person(?) being near me. Somehow I can understand that he’s “coming” towards me. This doesn’t seem to work with Karen-nee, so I’m always surprised by her sudden appearances.

“It’s tea made from the tea leaves of the gods. You can get a good night’s sleep by drinking it.”

“Itadakimasu.” (TLN: To all of those readers who are new to web/light novels, this translates to something along the lines of “Thank you for the food/drink”. )

I sat on the opposite seat and poured a cup of tea. Oh, the tea stems are both standing up. If I remember correctly, the tea stem was standing upright when I first met the World God.

“I can’t wait for tomorrow to come around. Though, I’m a little nervous. After all, it is my wedding.”

“Haha. Of course, of course.”

This is the only person who I can talk to normally. All the other gods that have come here are a bit more on the eccentric side.

“It was the correct choice to rebirth you in this world. It seems that various things that have been stagnant have begun to move forward once more. A stimulus from another world is moving this world in a positive direction.” (TLN: “A stimulus from another world” refers to Touya. Just sayin’….)

I wonder if that’s true? Well, I hope I helped this world.

“Touya, do you like this world?”

“Yes, I am very glad to have met everyone that I know, as of now.”

“That’s right, it was nice. When it comes to being a World God you have to manage many different worlds. Some worlds are difficult to handle, but they are also interesting. Until now, this world has been a featureless world. In an uninteresting world, other gods didn’t even look here. I also stopped monitoring this world for a long time. “

What he just said is just crazy. He thinks this was a mediocre world, but it wasn’t mediocre to me. There was no magic in my original world, after all.

“It’s becoming a world that the gods are paying attention to again. I personally think that this is good. If this becomes a resort for the gods, it will bring various blessings, but it may become noisy.”

A new era may start when the gods and mortals start interacting with each other. That may be a good thing in itself, but as a person in charge of managing this world, I hope the new changes won’t cause a disturbance.

“The gods coming down tomorrow will be greeted by me before the ceremony. Rest assured that they will not disturb you with their babblings .”

“Thank you.”

I would like to thank World God-sama very much.

“Now, it’s time you go to sleep. Otherwise, you’ll be drowsy tomorrow.”

“I agree……”

I just noticed, but I’ve gotten a little sleepy. Godly tea certainly seems to be effective. My eyelids are getting heavy. I’ve even yawned once or twice.

“See you tomorrow.”

After saying that, the World God disappeared. Immediately struck by intense drowsiness, I quickly returned to my room from the balcony, jumped into my bed, and crawled into my futon.

In a blink of an eye, my consciousness fell into my dreams, and the last night of my bachelorhood was over. (TLN: Hehehe! The next night, you’ll have graduated from teen to man! If you know what I mean…..)

◇◇◇◇

Big fireworks echo in the dawn. Blessed with a clear, cloudless sky, the town of Brunhild was crowded with people.

All of these people were here to see the King’s wedding today. People gathered from neighborhoods and distant places, and business people who are looking for profit also gather. Even though it was too early for the ceremony to begin, the already enthusiastic merchants had opened stores and started dealing with visitors.

A small parade is scheduled for the afternoon today. But what is more interesting to the visitors is the steel giants lined up at the entrance to the town.

Those who came to this country for the first time must have been amazed at the Frame Gears lined up in a pose in which their swords were pierced into the ground and the handles were held down with both hands. Of course, there are knights guarding them, so you can’t approach or touch them.

The business spirit was strong, and the capsule toys of the Strand Company were lined up in rows at the street stalls near the Frame Gears. Just like on Earth, it may be stolen, so the stalls are not unmanned.

Not only children but also adults turn the handles of the capsule machines and buy mini figures of Frame Gears. It seems that just like on Earth, if someone else gets something, you also wish to get the same thing. Of course, many people buy them as souvenirs, too.

People from afar were waiting for the start of the wedding, looking at such rare things that can only be seen in this country. Of course, it is the same feeling for people living in Brunhild.

Eventually, the sounds of a solemn bell echoed from the tallest clock tower in the town.

The wedding will now begin.
