For some reason, the long-awaited wedding day was gradually approaching.

Perhaps because the fast-paced, hectic days were repeated over and over again, time felt faster and faster.

…Right now, today, I’m having a wedding.

“Petrania, what’s going on?”

“I just came to visit my father because he seemed particularly happy.”

His tone was as harsh as usual, but I knew that underneath it all, he was worried about me and was thinking of me as I was preparing for the wedding.

So I just smiled calmly at her.

“It looks like you don’t intend to remain in the Evil God Church for a long time.”

“Even if I leave my father’s side, it doesn’t mean I’m not a believer. I think I’ll probably go on a trip to another place with Lilin.”

“I see.”

You guys have grown up to think like that too.

Perhaps in the future, other children will become independent from me and slowly begin to leave for other places.

Now that she has lived eternal life, Therasia said she will remain in the Evil God Church.

He said he would have the most fun by my side.

When I think about it, it doesn’t seem like it was that long ago since I came down here, but it seemed like there were so many events that happened during that time.

“You’ve already come this far.”

“Evil God! I brought all my compatriots!”

“…You did a good job.”

Adele opened the door and came in energetically, as if she wanted praise, so I said that.

It was a very surprising and mysterious sight, as it was almost my first time seeing all the dragons gathered in one place.

With the added grandeur, it could truly be said to be the fresh stimulation that Therasia had been longing for.

‘Did I really say it was a difficult road?’

That’s what he said, who was previously the owner of the library, but has now disappeared due to the anger that was raging at the time.

Yeah, it was hard.

However, all of these things became possible because I felt like Marie felt, only because I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her.

It didn’t matter if this was real or not.

Because this emotion and this happiness that I feel right now were all unmistakable truth.

“If this is the story you wanted, it may be a good story, but I like it a lot.”

It’s Marie.

I swallowed my words.

And instead of continuing his words, he just walked forward.

“Father, please come here. I have finished all the remaining preparations.”

It’s been a while since I took out a hot air balloon.

I never thought I would occasionally use the hot air balloon I used when I went on a trip again.

As I entered the hot air balloon, there were the main characters who had been with me all this time, starting with Caesar… no, my children.

And there were other children like Descartes and Petrania, and Rebecca.

“What kind of face does the star of this wedding have? Why don’t you smile a little wider?”

Ryu made an exaggerated smile while telling a trivial joke.

I just smiled at everything they did and looked around.

Marie wasn’t here.

“Wow, I can already see who you are looking for. Unfortunately, Marie, she is currently in the imperial castle with Beatrice.”

“Then I guess I should go see you in person.”

“It would be better than meeting the bride here already.”

With high expectations, I sat quietly in the hot air balloon and looked out the window.

The kingdoms that felt small simply made me more intoxicated with this excitement.

Caesar sharpening his sword as usual, Therasia shaking the medicine around, and Cecilia looking at me with a serious expression but then making eye contact with me, averting her eyes for a moment and looking embarrassed.

Do you already know that these countless appearances just make me love you even more?

“Anyway, there is some time left before I arrive, so what are your plans for the next generation? If you are a child of God, then…”

“Of course there is. But I don’t know if it is right now. I am also uncertain whether the child will be able to receive the mighty power of God…”

“Hmm? It seems you didn’t know yet. It’s possible. It’s just that since a child with great power is born, it will take a long time for the world to recognize it. However, she is the source of the world called stories. “It won’t be that difficult.”

In short, Marie is okay.

How would I know such information?

Because everyone already knew that unless my memory was perfect, I could never be perfect.

“As expected, there are quite a few parts of my memory that are incomplete. This poisonous bastard, determined to escape the shackles of the story at all costs, gathered up even such trivial information and locked it away deeper… perhaps later, as time passes. “You will naturally realize more things.”

“Now that I think about it, Lucia, why do you talk to me like that…”

“To be exact, you started imitating my way of speaking. This is how I spoke from the beginning.”

Has this also changed as we have been together for a long time?

Since even these trivial memories were not complete, it was not possible to know them completely.

“…Father, it’s my gift.”

Everyone started taking them out one by one as if they were gifts to commemorate the wedding.

First, Veronica gave me a doll she made herself, and then Abel gave me a book called 105 Ways to Maintain a Peaceful Marriage.

“I…prepared like this.”

Cecilia gave me a pretty pendant, and Ryu gave me an ancient bracelet.

Caesar got his favorite dagger, Therasia got a mysterious potion that gave her stamina for two days, and Rebecca got the chalice containing her blessing.

Descartes gave the wine he had saved, and Petrania and Lilin each gave a piece of their horn.

“The devil’s horn can tell where the devils are right now, and if you infuse them with mana, you can summon them right away. I hope your father will use them to their advantage.”

“…The gift I will give you is this.”

Lastly, Lucia gave me two rings as a gift.

“One for you to wear, and one for you to give to Marie at the wedding. It’s a ring filled with as much blessing as I can.”

“…That energy is amazing.”

“The power of God is always like that. As long as your hearts are connected, you will not be broken by anything and will be able to achieve what you have longed for.”

I was only able to get off the airship after receiving a ring with many ridiculous blessings in it.

As soon as I got off, I looked at the other children who got off with me, and at Lucia.

“I hope you are happy.”

“…This is my first and last lover and marriage, so I should be happier than anyone else.”

I walked forward, thanking all the children who gave me gifts.

He was calm and didn’t move his body too much, but deep inside his heart, the tension couldn’t be suppressed and was struggling as if it would keep coming out.

Since I became a god, I have never done anything like that.

“…Bride’s entrance!”

Then, as I stood in front of Descartes, who was officiating, and just waited, suppressing the tension, Descartes shouted.

I looked back.

…Marie, wearing a white wedding dress, more extravagant and more beautiful than anyone else, was slowly walking towards me.

“…”

The tension that had been suppressed soon began to burst and flow out like a dam breaking.

…She is more beautiful than anyone else, and is so noble and sacred that I want to look at her for the rest of my life.

Was this what Marie felt toward me?

If that was the case, I couldn’t understand how on earth she tolerated this feeling.

Putting myself in Marie’s shoes, I couldn’t figure out how I could have held back the emotions boiling over inside me.

“The bride and groom…”

Descartes worked hard to officiate, but was unable to concentrate.

In fact, it would be fair to say that I was so distracted by the other side that I couldn’t really concentrate on what he was saying.

As a half-hearted figure of God, he is currently planning to get married next to her.

I think it would be quite a fun and enjoyable story. That’s what I thought.

“If you do this…do you swear to the bride and groom that you will risk your life and love only her?”

God’s oath is not a light one.

For a god who lives eternally, risking his life meant asking whether he would love her even if all things in the world disappeared and only he would remain.

However, I didn’t hesitate at all.

“I promise that I will love only her.”

My oath contained words.

I put a ban on myself.

“Bride, do you swear that you will love only your husband for the rest of your life?”

“I swear in the name of the greatest God I believe in.”

After we each said our vows, we looked at each other.

Actually, Descartes said something, but I couldn’t remember what he said.

This was because his eyes were already on her lips.

love.

If I were asked about this feeling again, I would definitely be able to answer this time.

This is a feeling that is more self-evident than anything else and at the same time is more noble than anything else.

“Then, on this occasion, I announce that our eternal vow has been extended to each other!”

As I listened to those words and saw Marie smiling brightly at me, I thought that.

Perhaps this story, which she had longed for so much, would never end for the rest of her life.

happy ending.

I can explain it like that.

“Thank you, Marie.”

A day with the sun shining more beautifully than anything else.

It was the day when the love between the gods and the high elves came true.

“…what a beautiful day it is.”

To the countless children gathered at this wedding.

To the countless people who have always been by my side and helped me.

And to those who are always looking at these stories from beyond the horizon we cannot reach.

“Thank you always, kids.”

Smiling brightly as usual.

I said so.
