Book 9 Epilogue – Wedding
Afterwards.
Apparently, there was a bit of a riot in the Parliament.
The scandals of the minister, who was the head of the majority faction, were taken very seriously, and his power was greatly diminished.
Added with Blossom being recognized as a city and Queen Isabelle revealing herself, it seems that the appearance discrimination has begun to calm down a bit.
Of course, the discrimination isn’t completely gone yet.
Still, discrimination and similar acts being done in the past are now less likely to happen, and it will only get better in the future.
“Master?”
“Ah, yes.”
Edith called out to me, and I replied in a hurry.
I didn’t realize I was already walking in circles around the room.
This chapter is made by neorecormon of stabbing with a syringe translations.
“Why don’t you calm down here for a bit?”
“Yeah, I guess so.”
Nervously, I nodded.
Now that Blossom is officially recognized as a city, some things have changed.
For example, the government now provides a proper budget for the maintenance of roads and facilities, leading to Blossom.
And with discrimination now discouraged, the city has now been able to have a proper relationship with its neighboring towns and merchants.
And finally, the City Hall is now fully established and formalized.
In other words, Irene and I could officially get married.
And today, Blossom’s city hall is formally up and running.
“Tomo?”
“Y-YES!”
Irene appeared in the room and called out to me.
I took a deep breath once and then walked towards her.
“Shall we go now?”
In her hand is a paper that certifies our marriage, already filled out.
And in the other, it is already open, ready to be held out by me.
I took her hand in mine, and Irene’s soft palms squeezes it back with force.
“Take care, master, Lady Irene. We’ll see you later.”
“Yeah, I’ll see you later, Edith.”
Irene smiled back at Edith as she sent us off.
We headed straight to the city hall.
As soon as Blossom was finally recognized as a city, we were able to submit a notification to the city hall at the central.
As I was a person from another world who’s used to filling up a lot of documents, I had done my paperwork without a hitch. This is also thanks to Edith’s tutoring. If not for her, I wouldn’t be able to write my name in the marriage certificate like this.
However, rather than submitting it to the city hall in the central, I decided to do it in the city of Blossom.
As for the reason? Well, it’s because this is the city that Irene created, and has now become a symbol of liberation from the discrimination against people for their appearance.
But above all, it was the city where Irene and I met.
So, even though it’s a little late, we decided to file our marriage certificate as the first formal document in this city.
I look at Irene’s face as she walks next to me.
I’m going to marry this beautiful person.
When I think of this, I feel a surge of happiness.
“What’s the matter, Tomo?”
She notices my gaze and tilts her head towards me.
It’s still too early to say my overflowing thoughts at this moment, so I responded short.
“It’s nothing.”
But no matter how hard it is to endure, I still couldn’t help but make a loose face.
“You’re really weird.”
Irene’s cheeks have been loosened since a while ago, despite saying it.
We arrived at the town hall with a fluffy feeling.
We were the first to pass through the door and enter the city hall.
It was a beautiful, newly built city hall. We went straight into one of the counters.
“Together, shall we?”
“With pleasure.”
The two of us took the certification and submitted it to one of the tellers at the city hall.
The official at the counter checked all the items on the spot and stamped the government seal of approval.
“Your submission is now fully accepted. Congratulations.”
She told us with a smile.
We were now officially husband and wife.
“Tomo.”
“Irene.”
We stare at each other and gulp down the attempt to hug each other as it is. This isn’t the only event of the day.
We hold hands and move towards the church.
Now we were going to have our wedding ceremony.
