After Story. Wedding Ceremony Arc: The One Introduced Was

"......."

I ended up falling silent at what happened all too suddenly. Perhaps she misunderstood that somehow

"It is extremely hard for me to say it during this period, but......I want you to take my younger sister as your wife"

, she repeated to me. No, it's not that I couldn't hear you.

"Err, where did something like that come from?"

I ask, and Meteor-san smiles with a troubled look.

"I believe Lei-dono is also aware of the reason for that, but it is because the Demon Country's position is overwhelmingly weaker compared to the other countries. The whole reason is, of course, our actions thus far. Because of the Demon God, the Seven Demon Generals, and then the second coming of the Great War, the idea that Demon Races equals enemies has permeated"

......it's true that that might be possible. I don't know what has become of the current Academy's lessons, but when I was in the Academy, I was taught that the Demon Races are the enemies after all.

"There isn't any huge problem now since our ties to the other races are still only the Papal State and Runwalker Kingdom, but when it comes the time we get involved with Regalia Empire, and then the other countries we had no ties to thus far, there will definitely be a problem somewhere"

"So, what's that about me taking her as my wife?"

"I was originally thinking about who to tie the knot with the Runwalker Kingdom with. But, there wasn't any good candidate. The pillars of Runwalker Kingdom are made up of your fiancées after all"

Ahー, I guess it's true that there's that. With how my fiancées are, most men won't make the cut after all.

"You came back over there. The entire continent will probably be enveloped in rapture upon making the announcement tomorrow. And then upon holding your wedding ceremonies as well. It's just that, there's a problem with that in itself"

......uーn, I'm starting to get what Meteor-san wants to say more or less. It's true that it'll be a problem for the Demon Country.

"......the fact that there isn't any Demon Race amongst my fiancées huh"

Meteor-san nods at my words. My fiancées are diverse with Human, Beastfolk, Demihuman, Dragon species, and God, but there's, of course, no Demon Race. I personally think that that's also inevitable, but from the Demon Country's eyes, it's gonna be a problem huh.

For Regalia, the Hero-kun and company and Kana and company seem to have ties even now after all, and for Nanor, Arcadia, and Worvest, we have ties ever since before the foundation of the country. Forest Falia is Shishou's country after all, and she's the Queen's elder sister.

For Celia, Eclat often goes to Vardy-san's place because there's Levine-san's grave and we're having the country manage it as well, and it seems ores-related commerce with Ilnort is conducted prosperously.

However, only the Demon Country is without any ties or decent trade. Well, far from that, it seems to be quite havoc inside the country as well because of the battles thus far.

"If I don't use a method like this, the Demon Country will end up falling into a dangerous situation as well. For better or worse, because Gradiel was around, we could fight both Regalia and Arcadia, but our military expenses will probably be reducing from here on out. If that happens, Regalia will most definitely come attacking"

Indeed, we had been working hand in hand because we had the common enemy of the Demon God until now, but that probably won't happen from here on out. Far from that, Regalia might invade them as the country that produced the Demon God.

Uーm. I do want to want to give her a positive answer......but it's not something that simple. Besides, it's not something I can decide all by myself. The day I end up deciding on a matter like this at my own discretion......I-, I'll be assaulted.......

"Meteor-san, can we put this on hold for the moment? Since it's not something I can bear and decide on my own. I have to discuss it with Alexia and company"

".....true, enough. I was a bit too hasty huh. Well then, I shall send her to study under Lei-dono. Mirua come"

Eh? As I was in confusion, a Demon Race woman entered timidly. Silver hair and purple skin unique to Demon Races. Her eyes are being covered by her fringe, but she's a beautiful young girl like Meteor-san.

The young girl called Mirua came all the way to Meteor-san's side while squeezing the hem of her skirt.

"Lei-dono, this child is Mirua. Mirua, this individual is Leivelt・Runwalker-dono"

"......ni-, nice to meet you......m-, my name is, Mirua"

Mirua-chan greets me in a sheepish manner. She ends up hiding behind Meteor-san when our eyes meet. And then, she looks at Meteor-san with teary eyes

"O-, Onee-chan, a-, as I thought, I don't wanna go. I don't wanna separate from Onee-chan"

"It'll be fine, Mirua. Lei-dono is a kind person. Besides, Lei-dono has a ton of fiancées, so you won't be alone"

"Bu-, butt......"

......it's horribly difficult to butt in. 

"Lei-dono, my apologies, but won't you bring her with you? I think she is just being spoiled currently because I am around"

Meteor-san tries to tear Mirua-chan off while saying that, but Mirua-san grabs Meteor-san's clothes firmly and won't let go. I think it's okay even if you don't force her that much though.

"Here, Mirua, don't be selfish"

"Does Onee-chan hate me?"

"There's no way I would, right. I love Mirua. That's precisely why it's better for you to be by Lei-dono's side. Because it's safer than being here"

......what? It's like it's dangerous for Mirua-chan to be here based on how she was just talking, isn't it. Uーn, sure looks like there are all kinds of other circumstances as well huh.

Mirua-chan, who reluctantly obeyed Meteor-san's words, releases her hand and heads in my direction......I'm somehow feeling horribly guilty though.

"We-, well, there's nothing to be so depressed about. I ask of you to put the topic on hold for the time being as well, Meteor-san. It'll be great if Mirua-chan takes it easy as well"

Mirua-chan nods at my words. Haa〜, I'm a bit unmotivated to bring her back, but there's no way I can leave her be like this either. I wonder how I should explain it to Alexia and others.

When I place my hand on Mirua-chan's shoulder, Mirua-chan jumps and gets horribly surprised......that slightly hurts. I carry on to bid farewell to Meteor-san and teleport all the way to Runwalker.

"Eh? Eh? Eeh?"

Mirua-chan is horribly surprised by the fact that the scenery before her eyes suddenly changed. I suppose it's her first time teleporting. And then, perhaps she's uneasy that Meteor-san isn't there before her eyes, she becomes teary-eyed again......and droops her head. Is-, is she alright?

"Mirua-chan, it's alright......"

The moment I placed my hand on Mirua-chan's shoulder, about to speak to Mirua-chan who was looking downwards

"Don't touch Mirua casually! You 〇〇!"

Mirua-chan sweeps my hand away and jumps backwards, moving away from me......eh? Who?
