Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Chapter 365: Wedding 7

The light that gathered on Goddess Norn’s statue transformed into a large figure of light in Goddess Norn’s form.

As I stared at it, stunned, it felt like the Light Norn-sama smiled.

Light Norn-sama opened both arms and that light burst like sparkling rain as if to bless those gathered.

Norn-sama’s light glittered and danced in the space where the Spirits were flying around.

The melody played by the Sanctuary’s orchestra played inside the church where everyone watched speechlessly.

「……Norn-sama has descended.」

「……yeah, it is most certainly Norn-sama.」

Even to the Great Spirits, Norn-sama was a special existence. Gnome and Salamander were amazed.

「……I can feel Norn-sama’s power.」

「……yes, it’s exceedingly warm.」

「……it was thanks to Takumi.」

「Right.」

「…………」

Undine, Sylph, Dryas, Selene, and Nyx were in tears, deeply moved.

The Great Spirits were trembling with emotion…… which meant, when I looked at the guests, there were those who were off of their seats and down on their knees in prayer.

「……Norn-sama, I’m glad you’re giving your blessing…… but what are we gonna do about this?」

Even the Mazoku Queen Fraal and Ryuka-san were in tears and praying just like everyone else.

Valkan-san and Valzak-san who were from the Aligerous Tribe, also believed in Goddess Norn. The old men were holding their tears back.

Valkyra Kingdom’s King and Queen, Earl Rockford, Madam Rose, and Emilia-chan were shedding tears from being deeply moved. Still, the stern Margrave Volton had a flood of tears flowing down his face……

The worst of them all were Yggurle Kingdom’s King, Queen, and Prime Minister Balza’s area.

From the beginning, ever since Undone and the Great Spirits manifested themselves, they seemed to have been far more moved than others because they were Elves, but…… ah, ahhh, now they’re just weeping.

And of course, Sophia, Maria, and Marnie too. Our own wedding was receiving the blessing of Norn-sama, so they too were deeply moved and shedding tears. I hurriedly gave the three some handkerchief.

In this situation where I’m the only one who wasn’t crying, I feel alienated. I can’t help it though, can I? I met Norn-sama directly. I had the impression she was an awfully flippant goddess, so while I was happy she gave her blessing, it wasn’t to the point I’d be in tears.

As the situation could not be settled like this, I looked towards Undine and the Great Spirits for help, and they seemed to have calmed down somehow.

「The goddess had blessed this marriage. May the future of the four of you be happy.」

With Undine announcing the end of the ceremony with her voice which resounded through the church, we were shown out by the sound of the orchestra and withdrew from everyone.

Fuu~ perhaps because of my nerves, after leaving the church hall, I suddenly felt exhausted.

「Thank you. Please take care of me from here on as well.」

「For all eternity, please.」

「It’s scary how happy I am.」

「Let’s continue to be happy.」

When I showed my appreciation to Sophia, Maria, and Marnie and wished our future well, they replied with a smile as they wiped the tears away.

Well, the event isn’t over just yet.

After this, the guests will move to the banquet space of the lodge, and the reception would be held there.

In commoners’ marriage in this world, after receiving a simple blessing from the priest at the church, they do hold banquets, but because royalty and nobility were attending, the reception was similar to what was held in my old world. That said, even though it’s called a reception, it was closer to a ceremonial dinner. there weren’t things like entertainment and celebratory toasts.

「Sophia, Maria, Marnie, congratulations. Now then, we’ll escort you to the reception hall.」

「Now, this way please!」

Akane came with Lulu-chan and took my wives with her. It was necessary to touchup their makeup. Though they wouldn’t be changing dresses.

And as for me, I rushed to the lodge’s kitchen.

「For the bridegroom to help with cooking, isn’t that strange?」

I talked to myself about how this didn’t make sense.

For the marriage reception today, the Sanctuary inhabitants were helping. However, the menu was decided by Maria and Marnie after consulting with Akane, and for some reason, I, the bridegroom, ended up helping with food prep.

「Takumi, your Cooking Skill is high, so you could make anything.」 was why I was pushed into it by Akane.

Sure, it’s more efficient if I help because I could use magic to save time. But that said, I’m still not convinced.

When I burst into the kitchen, the Sanctuary residents who were skilled at cooking were busy working.

Instructed by the Elven woman taking charge of the kitchen as the head chef, I moved around as their hands and feet.

Why did it end up like this…………
