“Everyone, thank you for waiting! The joint wedding ceremony is finally about to begin!”
“““Wooooo!”””
The moment the announcer declared the start of the mass wedding, the entire town erupted into cheers. The alcohol is certainly helping, but the people of this town really did know how to have a good time.
I couldn’t help smile wryly as I watched the ceremony unfold from backstage beside Toria-san.
“And first, we have this wonderful couple! They’ve been living together for twenty years, working side by side in their bakery as husband and wife. And today, they’ll finally have their wedding!”
“““Woo-hoo!”””
The first couple to step onto the stage was a middle-aged bear beastman couple. Apparently, their bakery had become such a tremendous success that they had always been too busy to hold a proper wedding ceremony.
Come to think of it, there were probably quite a few people who had ended up in exactly that situation.
“Next, we have an adventurer couple! The groom recently succeeded in proposing, and today they’re celebrating their happy union!”
“““Looking good!”””
The next couple to appear was an adventurer pair a little older than I was. Both were dog beastman, their faces glowing with unmistakable happiness.
I’d heard that successful adventurers often stayed single for a long time, but these two had decided to marry once they were earning a comfortable living.
“Our third couple is a castle guard and a sister from the church’s healing ministry!”
“““You lucky bastard!”””
The third pair consisted of a tiger beastman serving as a guard and a human sister. Apparently, the guard had been injured, and while the sister devoted herself to nursing him back to health, love had quietly blossomed between them.
It hadn’t been planned, of course, but from everyone else’s point of view, it was the sort of romance anyone would envy.
“And our fourth couple is an adventurer and a guild receptionist! The man who won the heart of this popular receptionist is—believe it or not—a rookie adventurer who only recently joined the guild!”
““““No fair!””””
““““Oooh!!!”””””
This time, it was mostly the male adventurers who were in tears.
Well, I could understand why. The rabbit beastwoman standing on stage had an incredible figure, and she’s clearly the kind of guild receptionist everyone adored. As for the groom, he looked like he belonged to the demon race, but there was something surprisingly cute and endearing about him—someone who made you want to protect him. So, instead of falling for some rugged, muscle-bound adventurer, she had chosen someone who awakened her protective instincts.
Even the adventurers sobbing in despair needed to pull themselves together and congratulate the happy couple.
“Our fifth couple is a young deacon from the church and a female guard. This one’s the opposite of our third couple!”
““““Way to go!””””
The fifth pair looked like an older-wife, younger-husband couple.
The mouse beastwoman looked adorably embarrassed, while a deacon from the angel race stood faithfully at her side. Oddly enough, though, it was the young deacon who seemed to be taking the lead, gently guiding his bashful bride.
Hmm…Perhaps because there were so many races besides humans in this town, every couple seemed wonderfully different from the next.
