The day for Nazuya's wedding came...

As Areadite stepped a foot into the house , branches grabbed onto his ankle and wrapped his entire body. He couldn't move an inch.

Areadite: .... Hizuya ?

Hizuya made his appearance known and walked out " you're Luzuya's best friend. So she tried to help you. But she's an idiot. "

Areadite: what do you mean ?

Hizuya: how did you know of the god who threatened you ? Who is the god who threatened you ? Luzuya don't know the god. You would have to know.

Areadite: Luzuya told you everything.

Hizuya: told us everything.

Areadite; that's very Luzuya indeed. I never expected her to keep quiet about it. god Nazuya wants you to check on me ?

Hizuya stepped closer and took a closer look " you're very clever... But no. Not my big sis. My mother. My big sis closed an eye to you. "

Areadite : god Nanalise...

Hizuya ; talk. Or I'll strangle you to death here.

Areadite took a smell " these are gardenia flower branches. "

Hizuya : .... You're weird.

Areadite: how's the storybook you're reading now ? You prefer horror storybooks ?

Hizuya ; what ? Don't sidetrack!

Areadite; sorry. Right. The god that threatened me . He just approached me out of the blue and told me an interesting story about an old history. Only the start and not the end. So I tried to read more about it. Couldn't find anything. So we made a small little deal.

Hizuya : that you would try to get my mother out . And you'll get...

Areadite: the ending of the story.

Hizuya : oh... You're a story addict.

Areadite; you understand me ?

Hizuya : I like the stories too. I understand you a little bit. You're just a crazed idiot over this huh.

Areadite: it was a very very small little deal. I thought it would be easy to get Luzuya's help. If it failed , I would let it go too. I didn't think he would try using my life to threaten...

Hizuya released the branches " alright. "

Areadite: so... Horror stories over fantasies ?

Hizuya ; ... How did you know I'm reading that ?

Areadite: hehe. Saw it when I was at your garden the last time. Do you need more recommendations ?

Hizuya ; .... Sure. So... What's the god's name ? The one who threatened you.

Areadite: didn't give me one.

Hizuya : hmm... You better head to the front. My big sis' wedding is starting.

Areadite: ok. I'll give you a list later.

Yukihana: congratulations.

Mizuno: thank you. But I also see the entire clan seated here today

Yukihana: you know I can't control them.

Mizuno: I know. I'm not blaming you. Eat happy here today. The menu was chosen by someone very picky with their food.

Yukihana ; nazuya ?

Mizuno : no. My mother in law.

Yukihana: god Nanalise ?

Mizuno : yup. She couldn't come so... She wanted to contribute somehow...

Yukihana: oh. I see. Alright. I'll go take a seat.

Mizuno : um. Do go ahead.

Then , Ariel also attended the wedding. She walks over to Izuya " congratulations. "

Izuya : thanks for coming.

Ariel ; ... Why am I invited ? I'm not the kid's anything...

Izuya : future aunt ~ aren't you ?

Ariel blushed lightly " don't know what you mean..."

Izuya : come on. I don't even know why my big brother is holding off the proposal.

Ariel : hmph. ... Like I know what he's thinking... You care so much, don't see you helping me.

Izuya : anxious ~ ?

Ariel ; no !!

Izuya ; but really. You're my good friend. Nanalise's too. We want you to be here.

Ariel ; is that how wedding works ? Parent's good friends get invited?

Izuya ; yes they do. You've never been to one of these ?

Ariel : .... Not really... I don't have many friends... I'm also a death judge now . And you know I was kind of a bully in class. .... So ....

Izuya ; Death judges get friends too.

Ariel : well no one wants to be mine ! So I'm stuck with you two and... Some... Other very little friends...

Izuya ; ok ok.

Ariel ; so sad Nanalise will miss this.

Izuya: oh. No way. She's watching from her room . Watching a live feed.

Ariel ; oh... You could do that too ?

Izuya pointed at the bird perched on the roof.

Ariel ; oh.

.
.
.

" Are you sure ? She's here. " the first demon spoke.

" So what ? We have to say what we need to say ! " The second demon continued the discussion.

Demon 1 : It's Ariel ! The death judge ! Everyone knows she always gives the maximum penalty when possible .

Demon 2 : we're not humans !

Demon 1 : she's a war god ! ! She can be violent!

Demon 2 : hmph. We... We're in the right.

The couple walks down the aisle and to the front where both parents sat at the front. Mizuno's mother on the left and nazuya's father on the right.

" We're here to celebrate the union of two beings. Mizuno and Nazuya. " This was a small god of love and relationships. They are in charge of humans ' love and relationships. So when beings get married , they would call them to help host in hope of getting their blessings of a happy marriage. This was god Lora.

" Wait !! We don't agree !! " The ice demon stood up and spoke .

Lora ; And you are... ?

" I'm Erice, the clan leader of the ice demons. "

Mizuno : this is my marriage. I don't need your approval. In fact , I didn't even invite you here.

Erice : Helma !! You said he was going to marry Yukihana. So now you're going back on your words. What's with that ?!

Mizuno ; I'm not a thing for my mother to marry off.

Erice : even so , you owe us an explanation !!

Then a wine jar came flying smashing at Erice's table . It broke and scared him.

Ariel was annoyed " can we just get this wedding over with ? I came here to watch a wedding. Not here you be all noisy about it !! "

Nazuya laughed just a little.

Erice : just cos you're a war god , doesn't mean you can be unfair !!! We were promised !!

Mizuno ; what do you want ?

Erice : it's not uncommon for one husband to have many wives anyway.

Nazuya looked to Mizuno, but he didn't even turn around and said firmly " no. She's mine. I'm hers."

Erice threw a booklet onto the floor " well, your mother signed this !! " It was the Marital Approval for him and Yukihana. It wrote so on the front.

Ariel left her table and took it up to see.

Erice : you're a kind of judge. Fair isn't it ? Her mother signed it.

Ariel : wow. Your mother really sold you off like a thing.

Helma ; Mizuno ... That's not what I wanted... They kept saying... Nazuya is a trade god. She'll take everything from you. They could help fight her.

Ariel sighed " Izuya. You not going to say anything? "

Izuya : me and Nanalise never got our Marital Approval signed by our parents. Couldn't get married, still lived happily with my Nanalise till now. Don't see how a piece of paper that's supposed to be a blessing become binding.

Helma ; what he said !!

Mizuno takes over the booklet " what can be signed can also be destroyed. " He brings it to his mother " would you please ? So I can marry my beloved. "

" Yes. Of course. For my son. " Helma freezes the booklet.

Erice ; you know what you're doing? Helma.

"  the clan has never been good to me . Married me off like a pawn to a water god. But I was lucky and my husband and I were loving. When he died , all the clan could think of how to take advantage of me and my son again. So , yes. I know. "  and she smashes it on the floor. The booklet breaks like glass.

Nazuya : alright. Will you all leave ? Or will you leave on your own ?

Erice : hmph.

Nazuya nods " have you seen the horrors of a Trade god before ?" She claps her hands and Erice's left shoulder broke.

Erice : what ? I didn't even touch her...

Nazuya claps again and the shoulder heals " you're a guest. Just a scare should do. Would you like to leave now ? "

" Hmph. " And the bunch of ice demons leave except for Yukihana.

Nazuya: kehe. Mizuno protecting me .

Mizuno held onto her hand " come on. I want to hurry up and have you married to me. "

Nazuya : okie !

So the two bows to their parents and faces each other.

Lora ; repeat after me. I will love my partner for the rest of my life.

" I will love my partner for the rest of my life. "

Lora ; I willing want to be part of his or her life. To be forever together , tied in union and our fates intertwined henceforth.

" I willing want to be part of his/ her life. To be forever together , tied in union and our fates intertwined henceforth."

Lora ; and so I announce you two , husband and wife.
