"You... you're... Kallen."
The woman standing before Otto was the Schicksal Saintess he had missed for five hundred years: Kallen Kaslana.
Although Otto had seen the goddess he had longed for day and night, reason told him it was impossible. Kallen was already dead. Yet his instincts told him: this was Kallen, a living Kallen Kaslana.
"What's wrong, great inventor? Why do you look so strange?"
Though his mind had yet to catch up, Otto instinctively replied to Kallen, "It's nothing, Kallen. I was just a little distracted."
Although Kallen did not quite understand why Otto had suddenly frozen up, she did not pay it much mind.
"Great inventor, today is my big day. Why do you seem a little unhappy?"
Upon hearing Kallen's words, Otto immediately came to his senses. Looking at his clothes, then recalling the punishment the system had mentioned—"randomly participate in a wedding under a certain identity"—as well as himself in a suit and Kallen in a wedding dress, he had no idea why his suit was green, but that was not important!
What mattered was the wedding, Kallen in a wedding dress, and himself in a suit. Wasn't that enough to explain everything?!
Thinking of this, Otto instantly understood his identity. Without a doubt, he was—the groom!
Aside from surprise, Otto also felt gratitude toward the Livestream Room. He had thought it was a punishment, but not only had he met the Kallen he had been yearning for, he was even going to hold a wedding with her. This was... absolutely wonderful!
Otto suddenly had the urge to drill his temples furiously with his middle fingers.
"Great inventor, the wedding is about to begin. Go up on the stage and get ready first. After all, you're the male lead today."
The male... lead! So I, Otto, really am the groom!
"Alright, Kallen. I'll definitely give you the most perfect wedding."
"Then I'll be counting on you, great inventor."
Herta Spicy! (An advanced transition.)
In the blink of an eye, Otto was already standing on the ceremonial stage, and the seats below were filled with guests attending the wedding.
As the viewers in the Livestream Room looked at the wedding guests, they could not help but complain inwardly.
[Lumine: What the heck is this? Why does everyone only have the character "Wei" on their faces?] [Amber: There are also a few cabbages over there, along with yellow, red, and pink rabbits.] [Theresa: Those aren't rabbits. They're Homu, Herta Spicy, and Homae. As for those cabbages... they seem to be Ai-chan.] [Ai-chan: Ai-chan is not a cabbage! Ai-chan is the Hyperion's number one idol, not some cabbage!] [Kiana: So the two things on your head aren't cabbages?] [Ai-chan: Of course not! They're proof that Ai-chan is the Hyperion's number one idol!] [Fu Hua: Those chickens with red feathers seem to be... Red Kite?]
Otto did not care what the people below looked like. To him, aside from Kallen, everyone else at this wedding was no different from cabbages.
At that moment, someone suddenly shouted from outside.
"The bride is here!"
The doors to the hall suddenly opened, and Kallen slowly walked in, holding Theresa's hand.
Kallen slowly made her way onto the ceremonial stage.
Under the lights, Kallen seemed to be glowing all over.
The surrounding guests began praising her one after another.
"The bride is so beautiful."
"The bride is truly gorgeous."
"And she has an air about her that seems almost untouchable."
"In the blink of an eye, the Saintess is getting married too."
"I wonder which bride is so lucky that she gets to marry such a beautiful wife."
Listening to their praise of Kallen, Otto nodded in wholehearted agreement. "Mm-hm, that's right. Kallen is that beautiful, that perfect and untouchable... Wait, marry? Bride?"
Otto suddenly realized something, and a pink figure suddenly appeared in his mind...
No, I must be overthinking it. How could that pink fox possibly appear here? I must have misheard just now. He must have said groom.
Otto had just convinced himself that he had misheard and was preparing to go through the wedding in his best state when another shout came from outside.
"The other bride has arrived!"
Otto stiffly turned his head. Walking toward him was a pink-haired woman in a wedding dress as well, except unlike ordinary people, she had a pair of fox ears on her head.
"Yae... Sakura..." Otto ground out the newcomer's name through clenched teeth.
That was right. The newcomer was the Miko from Yae Village—Yae Sakura.
[Kevin: Sakura... no, you are not her.] [Gray Serpent: Greetings, my lord!] [Theresa: Wait, Kaslana? Kiana, is he from your family too? Why have I never heard of him?] [Kiana: Auntie, I don't know either. I grew up with that stinky old dad of mine, so I don't know anyone from the Kaslana Family.] [Kevin: I am merely Kevin. Kaslana means nothing to me.] [Otto: Hold on, @System. Aren't I the groom? What's with this pink fox?!] [System (′?ω?)?: I never said you were the groom.] [Otto: Then my identity is...] [System: The wedding officiant.] [Otto: Then this wedding is...] [System: That's right, just as you guessed. This is Kallen and Yae Sakura's wedding.] [Otto: ...] [Theresa: For Grandpa, this should be the harshest punishment possible.]
Otto looked at the two women on the stage gazing lovingly at each other, then looked down at the outfit that was green from head to toe. How could he not understand what this meant?!
In his eyes, Yae Sakura's smile seemed to be saying, "Oh? Isn't this the First Green One?"
Wait, it did not merely seem that way. Yae Sakura really did cast him a provocative look from an angle where neither Kallen nor the guests could see.
Otto was so furious he nearly fainted on the spot. I will never let this pink fox get her way.
