The Invitation Bearing the Fire Country Emblem

On the day of the wedding.

Fire Country, Konoha Shinobi Village looked peaceful.

"Father, I... I'm a little nervous."

Hinata Hyuga, dressed in a pure white wedding gown, clasped her hands together, a transparent veil draped over her head.

"Don't be nervous. I'm nervous too."

Hyuga Hiashi said nervously.

"...Huh?" Hinata Hyuga froze for a moment.

She had not expected her father to be nervous too. Besides, what was he nervous about?

At a glance, Hyuga Hiashi showed no signs of nervousness. He still wore the same stern expression as always.

What she did not know was that, at that very moment, Hyuga Hiashi was desperately curling his feet and all ten toes.

Trying to ease his own nervousness.

This is my first time getting married off... No, my daughter's first time getting married...

Hm?

That doesn't sound right either!

I'm Hyuga Hiashi! How could I be nervous?!

Hyuga Hiashi was uneasy inside, but his face gave nothing away.

"It's fine. Just follow the process. It's very simple..."

"Really? Was it the same when you married Mother?" Hinata asked, blinking beneath her veil.

Her father had told her that only Kanami could lift this veil, so she would not remove it herself either.

A trace of reminiscence flickered in Hyuga Hiashi's eyes. "It wasn't the same with your mother... Back then, we held our wedding in a hurry, using the simplest local customs.

It's different from yours this time. I specifically hired people from that special city you discovered before to arrange your wedding. They called it a 'modern wedding.'

I don't really understand it, but it should be good. After all, they took ten million ryo from me."

"Actually... I think an ordinary wedding would be nice too... As long as Kanami is there..."

Hinata Hyuga's face reddened slightly.
