The meal we had assembled in the dining room was using a buffet method.
After worrying about the seating order, in the end we just completely brushed aside the seats.
Luckily, even including the table, it's a wide room with enough space to walk around.
In case someone gets tired as well, there are chairs left prepared at the end of the room as well.
The cooking is intended as easy to eat things for a buffet.
For the time being, I distribute alcohol cups to everyone.
Since Nanahoshi declined the alcohol, I gave her fruit juice.
It seems to have become that I would make the toast.
Lined up with Sylphy I stepped forward.
The gazes were gathering.
Eleven peoples gazes.
They're by no means unpleasant looks.
But somehow it makes me a bit tense.
I had prepared a sort of cue card though.
And Sylphy was tightly holding my hand.
After looking at her face, she was smiling at me with a shy face.
She was saying in a whisper to give it my best.
I want to pull her into the bedroom right now.
"Oh my, Rudeus-you, your face is bright red. [Giggle]."
"Lize, be quiet."
Elinalise was laughing and unusually Cliff was reading the mood.
Alright.
"[Cough].
Thank you everyone for gathering together today even though I'm sure everyone is quite busy. I declare it once more formally, I Rudeus and this--"
"Fuhahahahaha! There I enter with a bang!"
I felt like my heart jumped out of my mouth.
After turning around that guy was there.
A black body and tall height.
With six arms tightly packed into his uniform.
The Immortal Demon King Badigadi has come out with a bang.
He came in from the door connected to the kitchen.
"??!"
Everyone was lost for words.
That imposing and majestic attitude.
Even Cliff swallowed his words.
I didn't know what would be good to say as well.
With that timing, isn't it almost like Badigadi and I are getting married.
Your wife is that right, that one stupid girl with the name like a tooth paste right?
"Badigadi, you're late."
The one entered the tsukkomi was Elinalise.
However Badigadi goes where the wind blows.
"Humu. Certainly I'm late. However, in regards to my race, on the occasion of a meeting between royalty, it's already decided that you enter with a timing to pull a nerve and stir things up."
"That's a lie right."
"It's not a lie. Since it's something that Kishirika decided on a whim, I think it's foolish as well though!"
Even though you think it's foolish you still do it huh.
What a random guy.
That's why you've been defeated by the human race over and over.
"For your sake I especially went out of the way to pitch in and help, I circled around to the rear entrance, I took the time to enter from the back. It's fine for you to feel grateful! Fuhahahaha!"
So he especially went out of his way to circle around.
You...curse you... [5]
No, calm down, Badigadi is this sort of guy. You already knew that right?
"Hahahaha, I see now, thank you very much."
"Thanks are unnecessary. Now, it would be good for you to get married as much as you please before myself. Having a marriage ceremony with a Demon King in attendance, it's something that seldom happens. I've never done this sort of service after all!"
While Badigadi was saying that he sat down on the ground with a plunk.
For the time being I thought it might be good to prepare a chair or something though.
Since Magic Races often seem to sit on the floor, I guess there's no problem.
"Then, I'll restart..."
[Cough] and clearing my throat.
"Thank you very much for gathering together on this busy day. Once again I'll formally declare, I Rudeus Greyrat, and this Sylphiette are getting married. Since we're both still inexperienced, I think there are some points we could be lacking, but I'd like for us to help each other and lend a hand in our lives there. Yeah, the twelve of you gathered here, in these past few years, are people who especially helped us out personally. The days we met and the superficial points are there, but strangely I feel that you all match well with us, and I feel you are all friends. During times of trouble I will become the strength of my friends. If there's a time when you're mutually in dispute, please remember our faces, I'd like for you to let things be water under the bridge for us to save face...umm."
No good, this is a bit too stiff isn't it.
Everyone is making complicated faces.
I wonder if I made a mistake with my words.
And [pon] Badigadi hit me on the shoulder.
