「What was that!? That’s a celebration, isn’t it!?」
Vanga-san’s loud voice echoed throughout his house.
After visiting Vanga-san’s house and having a feast of a lunch, the three of us drank tea. During that time, I talked about why I came to Bohd Village, and Vanga-san and Martha-san rejoiced as if it was their own son’s special day.
「My, my, congratulations Takumi-chan!」
「Thank you very much. So, I came to deliver the written invitation to you two, Martha-san, Vanga-san.」
I retrieved the invitation from my Item Box and handed it to Vanga-san and Martha-san.
「……oh Takumi, sorry but I’ve never left Bohd Village. Could you write the directions to the place?」
「Is it alright if people like us attend?」
Both Vanga-san and Martha-san spoke of their worries about departing from Bohd Village. Moreover, the Sanctuary was not in Valkyra Kingdom, nor was it a place that ordinary villagers could readily travel to.
Majority of the normal people living in this world spend their entire life in the place they were born in without leaving. Unless they were a merchant or an adventurer, they would not travel with the risk of encountering monsters and thieves. Much less venture out to a foreign country, such things were beyond the imaginations of those living in villages.
Well, the Sanctuary wasn’t a foreign country. Rather, it isn’t even a country at all.
That aside, I had to persuade them that they could leave everything to us and that it was fine as long as they just come.
「Please don’t worry about it. The wedding date is still in the future, but I’m picking you up, Vanga-san and Martha-san. Of course, travel and lodging expenses will not be necessary either.」
At first, I had thought of going to the Sanctuary with Vanga-san and Martha-san as they are now, but as expected, it would be bad if they just left the village for an extended period of time, so I’ll come to pick them up once the date of the wedding was closer.
When I mentioned that aside from them, from Bohd Village, I would invite the Blacksmith Bobon-san, the pair said they would be happy to attend.
「Gotcha. Martha and me would attend.」
「It’s Takumi-chan’s big moment. I would be happy to attend.」
「Thank you very much.」
I was relieved to get the OK from Vanga-san and Martha-san.
Bohd Village was a special place to me. Within it, I was especially grateful to Vanga-san and Martha-san. If I get married to my fiancées, I would want their blessings.
「After the wedding, would you mind staying a few days in Bohd Village for debut banquet?」
「Ou, that’s a good idea.」
「Is that okay? The number of people increased in Bohd Village, I don’t think there’s that many people who remember me……」
「It’ll be okay. The villagers have talked way too much about Takumi-chan and Kaede-chan.」
Martha-san said that she wanted to hold a debut party in Bohd Village even if it’s at a later date.
「Understood. After the ceremony and a break, everyone will come to Bohd Village.」 ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚•𝕟𝕖𝕥
「Everyone in the village would be happy.」
And so, my affairs in Bohd Village are over. Next, I have to drop by the Papeck Company and Adventurers Guild in Volton.
As could be expected, I couldn’t take the invitations directly to Margrave Volton, Earl Rockford, and King Valkyra, so it would be mailed to them via the guild. Because that would take time, the wedding will be 2 months from now.
Sending invitations by way of the guild, it would take roughly a week by express mail within Valkyra Kingdom, however, it also had to be sent to Lomaria Kingdom and Yggurle Kingdom.
Actually, if we’re only speaking of invitations, it could be transmitted through the communications MD that the Adventurers Guild has, but official invitations in the form of a written letter were important.
That’s why nobles and royalty who were sent invitations in each nation were apparently making preparations to depart for the Sanctuary before the written invitations arrived.
If it was two months from now, there was no need to rush the construction of the church and accommodations.
Well, considering that it takes several days from the Royal Capital to Volton on a normal carriage, it couldn’t be helped that it takes time. According to Akane, wedding ceremonies take several months to prepare even in Japan. It was something that I had no clue about in my previous life.
I promised to pick up Vanga-san and Martha-san a few days before the wedding, then left Bohd Village.
I walked until I was out of sight from the gate, and after making sure there’s no one around, I teleported to the Volton mansion.
Maybe I’ll go to Papeck-san’s place first.
