Someday Will I Be The Greatest Alchemist?

Wedding 5

The guests and Sanctuary residents were eagerly waiting for the leading actors from inside the cathedral.

The royalty from the Trination, who were initially overwhelmed by the exterior of the cathedral, stepped foot inside and were so deeply moved that they shed tears at the stained glass adorning the interior.

「……Your Majesty, would it be possible to request this in the Capital’s church?」

「……n-, wait, the budget…………」

King Valkyra hurriedly dodged the request of the Queen who had been entranced at a glance.
He frantically explained to the Queen that if they were to build a church like this, the expenses would be outrageous.

In actuality, Takumi transmuted stones, wood, and the like using magic, but even then, commissioning a building of this magnitude is not something he could simply agree to, even taking alchemy to account.

Somehow, it was when they took their seats they noticed that there were a large diversity of races from the invitees inside the cathedral.

「Lord Volton, isn’t that a Devil?」

「Lord Rockford, there is a race with white wings over there.」

Yes, inside the Cathedral, Queen Fraal from the Demon Continent, and even Valzak and Valkan of the Aligerous Tribe were present.

There were Mermaids also present, but in their humanoid forms, they look no different from normal humans.

Apart from the invitees, there were Elves and Beastkin were holding violins and such instruments on standby.
The guests from the outside were intrigued by the instruments they had never laid eyes upon before.

Standing in the highest place inside the cathedral and in front of the large number of guests were sitting, I wore the best suit Kaede had tailored for this very day, nervously waiting for Sophia, Maria, and Marnie to make their entrance.

Inside, I was able to confirm that Margrave Volton, Earl Rockford, their families, and even King Valkyra himself were in attendance.
That wasn’t all.
King Lomaria was here too.
I also found the King and Queen of Yggurle, and Princess Mimir from Yggurle Kingdom.
Princess Mimir was my neighbor, so I wasn’t nervous about her, but seeing the Kings and Queens of the Trination made me sweat bullets.

「(Freesia-san looks delighted, but what’s with Darphy-dono? He’s sitting there with a stiff, blank face……)」

When we had gone to make marriage greetings to Dante-san and Freesia-san, the siblings had a fight, but he was strangely docile after coming to the Sanctuary.

Behind me, the statue of Goddess Norn stood at the front of the Cathedral.

I had never seen my fiancées’ wedding dresses.
They told me to look forward to the main event.

Presences appeared behind me, causing the inside of the cathedral to make a stir.

The Great Spirits had appeared behind me.

The Great Water Spirit Undine, Great Wind Spirit Sylph, Great Plant Spirit Dryas, Great Earth Spirit Gnome, Great Fire Spirit Salamander, Great Light Spirit Selene, and Great Dark Spirit Nyx.

The Seven Pillar Great Spirits lined up in a row, awaiting the entry of the brides.

The Great Spirits’ duties today were to replace the minister.
If pushed to say, I thought they themselves were also the subjects of faith, but they said it was fine because they were the divine messengers of Goddess Norn to the very end…… but it doesn’t seem like it was fine at all.
Aside from Princess Mimir and the Elves residing in the Sanctuary who had gotten used to them, Yggurle Kingdom’s King, Queen, and Prime Minister shedding tears as they prayed……

Last time, Balza-sama who visited the Sanctuary as part of the observation group of the Trination should have met them, but he was down on his knees crying as he prayed at the sight of the Great Spirits.
Ahh ahhh, your snot is dripping.

The Elves working behind the scenes hurriedly ushered Yggurle Kingdom’s royalty to sit.

When the inside of the Cathedral calmed down, the Sanctuary Orchestra began playing music.

Ahh, another one of Akane’s doings.
Mendelssohn’s Wedding March.
This was the thing that signals the entrance during the wedding.
There’s no way the people of the Sanctuary would know that though.

Then, the door opened, and Sophia, Maria, and Marnie were lined up in their wedding dresses.

Dante-san was escorting Sophia.
Though it could be said to be a matter of course, he was trembling.
Poor thing.
Maria’s escort was a pale faced, nervous Papeck-san who had likely been asked in a hurry.
Marnie’s escort was Doganbo-san, and he was standing magnificently.
As expected, Doganbo-san isn’t phased by anything other than smithing and alcohol.

Seeing the three brides, the guests involuntarily gasped.

The girls who were always so close to me were so beautiful that I was in a daze.
