The marriage of Sui of the fox clan and Momiji Toretto went off without a hitch in an old temple reposing amid the Lebufera mansion’s inner courtyard. The attendees included the bride’s and groom’s parents, Konoha, and a few other relatives, as well as the militia delegation, the knights who had fought alongside them in the eastern capital, and us. Quite a force of Leinster and Lebufera maids seemed to have assembled for the occasion, and they saw to all the details.

I still can’t believe that the fox-clan chieftain came all this way.

“Now, honored guests, please exit the temple. You’ll find a lovely meal waiting for you,” Shima of the hare clan, who had nominated herself mistress of ceremonies, called from the altar. “Unmarried women, please gather round the entrance.”

The men stopped to thump Sui on the back and shoulders before leaving with an air of relief. My companions, who had just watched, spellbound, as Sui and Momiji exchanged vows of love and sealed them with a kiss, leapt to their feet with a start, eyes blazing.

“Victory is mine!” Tina shouted.

“You’re daydreaming again,” Lynne scoffed.

“D-Don’t forget me,” Ellie chimed in.

“I think Felicia had better sit this one out, don’t you?” said Stella.

“True,” Caren agreed. “She’d trip for sure.”

“St-Stella, Caren?! Not again!” Felicia wailed.

I think I’d better excuse myself.

“I’ll be outside,” I told the girls and led Atra toward the entrance. Looking back once, I saw a black-haired young woman—Konoha—at the back of the temple, still shedding tears of joy and hugging Momiji.

Thank goodness. I must write to let Gil know.

Outside, I found tables laden with wine bottles and platters of food everywhere I looked. Guests chatted among them.

I could do with a drink of—

“Cindy!” Atra called, suddenly wagging her tail, and took off toward the milky-haired maid who had just exited the mansion. I met Cindy’s gaze, entrusting the child to her care, then fetched myself a glass of ice water and took a nearby seat.

Before long, Richard joined me in all his knightly regalia. “Long day, Allen?”

A little ways off, I spotted Bertrand and several others with whom I’d braved death in the eastern capital, so I gave them a nod. The knights responded with a grandiose salute, which I returned before turning to their vice commander.

“Your eyes are all red, Richard,” I teased.

“Whoops. I cry easier than I used to,” he said, wiping his tears with a finger. Then he looked fondly at Sui and Momiji, who had just left the temple. The bride carried a bouquet, and her white dress made her raven hair shine.

“It was a great wedding, wasn’t it?” Richard said.

“Yes, it was,” I replied. When the rebel army and Knights of the Holy Spirit struck the eastern capital, I’d lost hope of seeing anything so joyous.

I spotted Tina and Lynne waiting eagerly at the temple entrance. Stella kept her poise, while Felicia was already on the verge of dropping out of the competition, and Ellie had been shunted to the edge of the group. I saw beastfolk women in the crowd with them.
