Isekai Nonbiri Nouka - Chapter 887

Chapter 887: The Wedding Reception (II)

I’d like to relax and enjoy the wedding reception, but work keeps finding me.

Mainly, it’s greeting the guests who’ve come to the event.

Especially the unfamiliar impure dragons and their subordinates.

With Rasuti and Gucci assisting me, all I need to do is stand in the back, nod like I’m someone important, and add a few words of greeting at the end...... Still, there’s a fair number of them.

「Village Chief」

Hnn?

Standing next to Rasuti was a figure cloaked entirely in black, the other party’s hood covering him completely.

Behind him stood others dressed the same way. That person must be their representative?

You were being taken care of by the groom Guinel.....the other way around?

Ah, they’re the ones supporting him.

I see. Nice to meet you.

And thank you for coming to Guinel and Metora’s wedding reception.

As I was greeting them, Versa approached from the side, casually waving at the cloaked figure.

Are they acquaintances?

「That’s one of the thirty-seven Legion Commanders (Legatus Legionis). A being who is both one and many, a shadow among shadows. The ones behind him are essentially the same person, so speaking to one is enough to address them all. They usually build castles or dungeons, so seeing them here is quite rare..... Hmm? You’re saying I talk too much? Oh, come on, it’s not like we’re enemies or anything.」

As Versa spoke, she glanced at the Fairy Queen, who was happily munching on wedding cake, and the phoenix chick, Aegis, calmly enjoying his meal on the table.

The cloaked guy seemed to think for a moment before lightly raising his hands in a gesture of surrender, clearly indicating that he had no intention of making enemies.

「So, let’s all get along. Oh, Village Chief, call them Kurokuro. That’s what they’re going by right now.」

I-I see.

Versa led Kurokuro away.

A Legion Commander, huh?

I seem to run into them fairly often.

Maybe Legion Commanders aren’t all that rare.

Rasuti and Gucci disagree, though.

The impure dragons, fully immersed in the reception feast, naturally centered their discussions on Guinel and Metora.

What puzzled me, however, was how little the Voice of God from the wedding ceremony was being talked about.

When I asked Toshira why, they said it’s mostly because the conversations tend to end with something like ‘Just as expected from Ancient Dragons.’

Ah, I see.

In other words, it is not being talked about because they’ve already been talked about before.

Mystery solved.@@novelbin@@

By the way, I heard Metora has many little sisters, but is Toshira the only one attending the wedding and reception?

Metora’s family members, including Toshira, serve the Ancient Dragons and hold important positions across various regions. For a culturally less significant wedding, it’s hard for them to gather. Or at least that’s what she said.

That makes sense. Even Toshira could only attend by sneaking out.

Ah, yes, I’ll remind Raimeiren again. Calm down, okay?

It’s fine.

This is a celebratory occasion, after all.

「Hnn? Sometimes, spending time chatting with friends is important, isn’t it? I won’t be the kind of husband who ties his wife down.」

Heh.

「Also, him... Kurokuro, was it? We’re not complete strangers.」

Really?

「The dungeon prepared to lock Versa—pardon me, the dungeon prepared to ensure Versa could focus on writing without distractions—I had his help when building it.」

Ah, the dungeon by the beach.

I thought Ancestor-san built that on your own.

「No way I could handle something that big by myself. If my hazy memory serves me right, I got help from several others, including him.」

I see.

We can’t ask for help this time since he’s here for the reception, but maybe I should show him the Big Tree Dungeon sometime.

He might have some advice to offer.

The reception continued smoothly—or rather, as usual for our gatherings—carrying on into the late night.

The children were sent to bed.

The adults were encouraged to take it easy.

And the dragons... were warned not to get out of control.

No, I wasn’t talking about Hakuren or Rasuti.

It’s the impure dragons—they seem to be drinking quite a bit.

Hnn?

An announcement before the children head to bed?

Oh, right, Tiselle mentioned unveiling the name and representative of the new country she’s building.

With so few involved parties present, I suppose this serves as a rehearsal for the formal announcement in the royal capital.

「We will now reveal the name of the new country and its first representative.」

Tiselle’s magically amplified voice echoed throughout the reception hall.

「The name of the new country is ‘Six Dragon God Kingdom(六竜神国)*’. Its first king will be none other than the star of today’s wedding, Guinel-san.....I mean, Guinel-sama!」

What?

I’d heard they were looking for a king, but Guinel?

Is it even okay for a dragon to take on a role like that?

Well, considering that the impure dragons like Ojess and the others work in the Demon King’s Kingdom, maybe it’s fine.

When I looked at the Ancient Dragon nearby, including Dors, they reassured me there was no issue.

It seems that this simply formalizes their territory into an official nation.

And on top of that, it’s backed by divine support.

Divine support?

Oh, the encouragement from the Voice of God during the ceremony... so it was about this!

AN: Read as *Rokuryuujin no Kuni* for clarity. The reasoning behind the name will be explained next time.

TN: So, it’s basically Village Six. Should I rename it “Dragon Kingdom Six” or something? Let’s wait for the clarification.
