In the end, the food stall was temporarily closed until the ingredients arrived. The attendant will stay behind at the stall, so Toria-san and I head to the wings where the wedding preparations will take place.
Incidentally, the attendant has some martial arts skills, and a guard will also be accompanying them as a precaution.
“Sue, I’ve come to help.”
“Oh? Shun, what happened to the food stall?”
“It’s sold out.”
“Oh, I see…”
When I peeked backstage, Sue appeared wearing a suit-like outfit with tailored slacks, her hair neatly styled. Naturally, she couldn’t very well wear something more extravagant than the couples participating in the joint wedding, so she had chosen a modest, elegant outfit instead.
“Need any help?”
“No, it’s alright. Someone else will be handling the announcements, and we’ve already finished helping the participants get dressed.”
It really seemed that Sue’s work was done. From here on, all that remained was to watch how the joint wedding ceremony unfolded. Casey-san and Telma-san, who were with Sue, appeared to be in the same situation.
“Ah, it’s Shun-oniichan!”
At that moment, Shiro and the others—the stars of the upcoming ceremony—came over.
Since they were serving as flower girls and ring bearers, they were dressed in adorable one-piece dresses. The feathers of Fran and Horn added a lovely touch to their outfits, making the two of them look especially cute.
“Looks like you’re all ready to go, Shiro, Fran, and Horn.”
“Yep! We’re going to scatter lots and lots of flowers!”
“We’ll do our best!”
Their hair had been beautifully styled, and the smiles never left their faces. That said, it seemed they didn’t have anything to do until the ceremony actually began.
“Come to think of it, I haven’t seen Ao around. Where did she go?”
“Ao’s with Kent-chan!”
At Shiro’s words, I looked over toward the Margrave’s seating area and found Ao there, carefully scanning the surroundings while standing beside Kent-chan, who was happily munching on a round bake with a huge grin on his face.
The Margrave’s seat provided an excellent view of the entire square, making it the perfect spot to keep watch. Incidentally, the Margrave’s cheeks were slightly red, which led me to suspect that Emilia-sama had given him quite the scolding.
Whether it was because he’d lined up at the food stall without any guards or because he’d bought up a huge portion of the round bakes Kent-chan had been looking forward to, I had a feeling both reasons were to blame.
“Then I’ll stay backstage and keep an eye on things. Good luck, Sue. And good luck to you three as well.”
The stage seemed fine, so I decided to take a look around from a vantage point in the wings.Well, I’ve done all I can, so it’ll be interesting to see how the shadowy organization moves from here.
