A Perfect Wedding

All in all, the wedding ceremony ended perfectly.

As soon as the ceremony was over, Cliff came over to the table reserved for "friends."

It was something of a tradition for us. It was good for friends to gather when the occasion called for it.

Though... Nanahoshi was no longer purely a friend now.

The so-called "friends" table consisted of Orsted, Cliff, Zanoba Shirone, Nanahoshi, Lara, and me.

As for why Lara was part of it, I did not really understand either.

Anyway, not long after I sat down at this table, Lara followed me over and sat directly on my lap.

Lara nudged my chin with her head.

"Dad, look over there."

"Hm?"

I turned toward the direction Lara was pointing.

That was where the mothers and fathers were seated.

Hmm... huh...?

I saw Ghislaine being scolded by a Beast Race man pointing at her head.

Though Ghislaine looked somewhat unconvinced, she did not argue back.

Rowin, Paul, Zenith, Lilia, and Rokari were all wearing wry smiles and did not speak up for Ghislaine.

He was probably Ghislaine's family...

Resting her chin on her hand, Nanahoshi spoke.

"He should be from Ghislaine's mother's family."

"Yeah, that was my thought too. By the way..."

"Hm?"

"You seem pretty used to calling Ghislaine Mom."

"Well, we are family, after all."

At that moment, Cliff's voice rang out.

"Heh, Nanahoshi can say things like that now, huh?"

We turned around to see Cliff pulling out a chair and sitting down.

After sitting down, Orsted smiled and began pouring drinks for us.

Nanahoshi spoke up in protest.

"What do you mean, I can say things like that now?"

Cliff shook his head.

"You are about to become a mother, yet you still act like this."

Nanahoshi hooked a finger under my chin.

"Hehe~
