—A bit after Takigawa left.
A message arrives on Basara’s phone.
The sender is Maria –the message is just “We’re ready!”
Even with that short message, he can feel her high tension, causing Basara to smile widely.
A short time later,
“—Well then”
Basara puts his phone in his inner pocket, leaving the bridal room for the groom.
According to the weather report, Kanto should be coming into its rainy season.
However, there’s not a single cloud in the sky, the blue sky spreading wide over him.
There’s not even the sticky humidity of the season, a pleasant wind blowing through the garden of flowers, fluttering the grass about.
Among that –walking on the white stone-paved path, Basara approaches the promised place.
The virgin road with benches seating three on either side.
There’s no cross or altar there.
All there is in this place is the sunlight, streaming down like a spotlight.
Of course, Basara, the groom, reached there first… He waits, standing under the sunlight.
And then.
“—Basara:
At the voice behind him, Basara turns around.
There are the eight brides, dressed in white wedding dresses.
“—”
Basara gulps down.
Because they are beautiful.
Mio, Yuki, Maria, Kurumi, Zest, Hasegawa, Nanao, and Celis are all beautiful.
There’s no exaggeration in that.
They are all dressed in dresses that fit them, all of them the world’s most beautiful brides.
With how he’s completely taken by them, they all smile happily.
Toujou Mio.
Toujou Yuki.
Toujou Maria.
Toujou Kurumi.
Toujou Zest.
Toujou Chisato.
Toujou Nanao.
Toujou Celis.
—The eight brides with the same surname, Basara thinks as their husband, as a single man.
That he will continue to protect them from here on –them and their smiles.
That’s why Basara too, smiles.
And then, he reaches out his hand,
“…Come, let’s make our vow”
With certainty in his voice, he calls out to them.
With that –the eight brides nod as meant to be.
–At that moment.
The groom and the brides –a happy wedding ceremony for nine begins.
