Part 2 Chapter 152: Heheheh. Are the heavens themselves blessing my marriage to Aileen? / 876
TL: Hanguk
"I now declare these two to be lawfully wed."
Phew. Good. All the dangerous parts are behind us now.
Watching Kaiser wrap up the officiating speech with a slightly disappointed look on his face, Sejun felt his heart grow lighter.
Because there were no more issues left to derail his Extreme Satisfaction plan.
All that remained was finishing the wedding smoothly and getting through the reception.
And then I'm going to use the time I get as my Extreme Satisfaction reward to spend it with Aileen and...
"Heheheh."
Of course, small problems could still pop up here and there, but nothing more dangerous than the previous two.
Right?
A faint twinge of unease crossed his mind, but he forced those thoughts away.
Just then.
"Halt! How dare you begin the wedding before I, Hero King Carlo Monto, slayer of the Great Demon Lord and founder of the Uzlan Kingdom, have arrived?! Have you all lost your minds?!"
Some lunatic had suddenly stormed the wedding with a hundred knights in tow.
You're the one who's lost his mind!
Anyone in their right mind would never even dream of disrupting someone else's wedding, let alone the Creator God's wedding with gods and Great Dragons in attendance, on top of which Sejun's own marriage prospects rode on this ceremony. Of course, that wasn't information the perpetrator could have known.
Ah. Is that the guy who told everyone not to start the wedding until he arrived?
Sejun recalled a document the village chief had handed him before the ceremony.
But still.
If you wanted to attend the wedding, you should've just shown up on time.
Sejun, who absolutely had to land Extreme Satisfaction, simply ignored him. The wedding had to start on schedule for him to score points with the Creator God and Meirin.
Need to get rid of him fast.
"Vice Chairman Theo, go and..."
Just as Sejun was about to give Theo his orders.
"I, Carlo Monto, oppose this marriage! The reason is that I love Meirin! Fabio! In Meirin's name, I challenge you to a duel!"
Wait, what?
'Don't tell me she's two-timing?!'
A trashy soap opera was suddenly unfolding before his eyes.
On any other day, he would have munched on popcorn and watched with delighted interest, but.
That crazy bastard!!!
Today was not that day.
The Creator God's expression hardened, and Meirin was shaking her head furiously while saying something to him.
"Puhuhut. Chairman Park, Lady Meirin says that this Carlo guy is a major stalker and she's been on the run from him for years now, meow!"
Theo relayed Meirin's words to Sejun.
"Yeah? Phew. Thank god she isn't two-timing. Iona, go ahead and lock those guys in the parallel world."
If she'd been two-timing, the Extreme Satisfaction would've been blown to pieces and the whole atmosphere would've turned weird.
"Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo-Kyoo. Yes. Power of Dimension..."
These wedding crashers!
Iona, now in full Fury 6-Kyoo mode, chanted her spell with a furious face. Because if Sejun's marriage got delayed, hers would inevitably get delayed too.
Not to mention.
If I'd caught the bouquet back then, I'd already be married by now!!!
She also remembered the bouquet she'd missed by a hair's breadth at Kyung-chul's wedding back in the day.
And just like that, Carlo and his henchmen vanished mid-rant.
"Now, the exchange of Wedding Gifts will take place."
Sejun resumed the ceremony.
While the bride and groom slipped wedding rings onto each other's left ring fingers.
"Ahem. Brrrrr. Aaah~"
Sejun loosened his mouth and throat. Because he had to sing the congratulatory song soon.
"And now, the congratulatory song. The song will be performed by Fabio's friend, myself, and Singer King Park Paespaes. Please give us a warm round of applause!"
Clap. Clap. Clap.
While the guests applauded, Sejun quickly moved to the opposite side of the venue and set up two Magic Microphones, one in front of him and one on his left shoulder.
"Paespaes, you ready?"
(Pip-pip. Yes!)
Slip.
At Sejun's question, Paespaes dropped his camouflage and appeared on Sejun's left shoulder.
And then.
"Ahem. The song we're about to perform was written and composed by myself and Paespaes, and it's called 'Hwangsa'. Now, let's begin. One, two, three, what a long wait it's been~"
(We've waited so long~)
After announcing the title, Sejun launched into the song with Paespaes.
Hwangsa? [TL: literally "yellow dust", a Korean term for the seasonal sand storms; here used as a contraction of 황혼의 사랑, "twilight love".]
Sand?
The guests were briefly thrown off by the song's title, but.
"Ah..."
They soon found themselves swept up in Sejun's quavering voice and Paespaes's beautiful tones. Paespaes, who had wanted to sing together with Sejun, had composed the song to make Sejun's lacking skill come across as raw sincerity. Geniuses really were on a different level.
"Our love, like the twilight~"
(Slow, but a perfect love~)
Thankfully, the lyrics weren't actually about sand. Sejun had simply shortened 'Hwanghon-eui Sarang' (twilight love) into 'Hwangsa'.
[Hwangsa has been heard for two minutes or longer.]
[The effect imbued in the name has been activated.]
[The effect has been enhanced because the namer sang it splendidly.]
[As an effect of hearing Hwangsa, love for one's partner deepens further.]
[As an effect of hearing Hwangsa, the chance of finding love even at a late age is increased.]
Thankfully, nothing happened during the congratulatory song aside from the song's buffs.
"Now, next, the bride will toss her bouquet. If you would like to catch the bouquet, please come forward."
The moment the song ended, Sejun returned to the host's spot and resumed the ceremony, and the guest seating started buzzing with activity.
Women warming up to catch the bouquet.
"Aileen, you've got this, right?"
"Of course! I'm Great Black Dragon Aileen Pritani, Grandfather's granddaughter!"
Among those women was Aileen.
"Kuhahaha. That's right! My granddaughter, crush them all!"
Kaiser laughed boisterously at her words.
"Sis, you got this!"
"Yeah!"
Ace, sitting between his father Anton and mother Elizabeth, also cheered Aileen on with great enthusiasm.
Heheheh. I hope brother-in-law marries Sis as soon as possible! Then I can play with brother-in-law every day and sleep over with him three times a week!
Ace was already imagining living with Sejun.
Rather than cheering for Aileen silently in his heart, Sejun.
"Aileen, go for it!"
Cheered her on out loud, blatantly.
"Yeah! Sejun, catch that bouquet so we can get married soon!"
"Yeah. Heheheh."
While Sejun grinned ear to ear at Aileen's words, ten women were already jostling for position behind Meirin.
Five women among Meirin's guests.
Three gods.
Among the Great Dragons were Aileen and one woman with brown hair.
"Krebibi, uphold the dignity of us Great Brown Dragons!"
Krebibi was a Great Brown Dragon. She had come because she'd been unable to find a mate for so long. Apparently, since this was the wedding of the supreme Creator God, the chances of meeting someone were high?
Anyway, while the women hoping to catch the bouquet sized each other up.
"Bride, please toss the bouquet!"
Aileen, go for it!
Meirin tossed the bouquet over her shoulder with all her might.
At that moment.
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Power of Gravity. Gravity."
Iona quietly cast a tenfold gravity spell.
As mentioned earlier, Sejun and Aileen had to get married before her own turn with Theo could come, so Iona was throwing her full weight behind them.
"Ugh!"
The five guests of Meirin's collapsed flat on the floor like frogs squashed under a rock.
"Huh?!"
Wobble.
The remaining three gods and Krebibi staggered. That was enough.
While they were still staggering.
"Here goes!"
Aileen leapt gracefully into the air, stretching her hand toward the bouquet. She had already exchanged signals with Iona beforehand.
But.
"Soap bubbles. Trap."
"Huh?!"
Lupong, the God of Soap Bubbles, used his power to wrap the bouquet in a soap bubble, slowing its descent.
In the meantime.
"Chains. Bind!"
Chaering, the God of Chains, bound both Aileen's feet and the soap bubble together, going for a kill-two-birds-with-one-stone play.
And the other gods joined the bouquet scramble, each unleashing their own powers.
"You bastards! Move!"
Including Krebibi, of course.
"The bouquet is mine!"
Krebibi, being older, was also stronger, and the situation soon became Krebibi versus the alliance of Aileen and the three gods.
A few intense seconds passed, and with no one having claimed the bouquet, it bounced around in the air.
Plop.
"Huh? Huh?!"
It landed gently in the arms of Sejun, who had been watching dazedly from the sidelines.
'Talk about being one of the destined ones?!'
Heheheh. Are the heavens themselves blessing my marriage to Aileen?
"Aileen, I caught the bouquet!"
Sejun raised the bouquet high.
"Sejun, well done!
Aileen, still tangled up with the other gods, broke into a radiant smile.
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot."
Iona too.
In contrast, the faces of the other contenders were colored with bitter disappointment.
And so the bouquet toss came to a close.
"The Bride and Groom March!"
The bride and groom walked down the wedding aisle, and at last, the Wedding Ceremony was over.
Heheheh. Now all that's left is the reception.
Sejun smiled as if everything were already done. Because when it came to the reception, especially the food, he had full confidence.
Reassured.
"Everyone, let's bring out the food!"
"Puhuhut. Got it, meow!"
"Kyoot kyoot kyoot. Yes."
Kueng!
Kking!
"Yeah!"
Sejun and his companions quickly set up a buffet-style spread with the food, drinks, dishes, and utensils stored in his Void Storage.
"Kuhahaha. The booze is over there. Ramter, let's go."
"Phahaha. Yeah!"
The leaders went straight for the booze first, while the other guests grabbed food and drinks and started eating at their seats.
A short while later.
...!!!
"What is this?! There's food this delicious in the world?!"
"As expected of God-Sejun!"
"Park-halla!"
Cries of admiration broke out everywhere.
"Silvia, isn't it delicious, sis?! Our Sejun made it!"
"Brother Hokus, try this sweet and sour pork! Our Sejun caught it himself and cooked it!"
Aileen was busy bragging about Sejun's cooking to her older sisters and brothers.
"Heh."
When Sejun glanced around with a smug look on his face.
"Meow?! Chairman Park, your face is rotting away, meow!"
"Mmph!"
Stomp. Stomp.
Theo stomped on Sejun's face with an urgent expression. He'd let his guard down and crossed the line, apparently.
Kuehehehe. Kueng!
[Hehehe. Dad, Cuengi will fix it for you!]
Stomp. Stomp.
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler's face is rotting! Great Blackie will treat it for you!]
Whap! Whap!
"Hehe. Daddy, Taecho will heal you too!"
Pat. Pat.
The companions also rushed to stomp on Sejun's face. With absolutely thrilled expressions.
While they were busy keeping Sejun humble.
Kkuik-!
The squealing cry of a pig being slaughtered suddenly rang out from the sky. Uren was falling from above.
Uren, sorry. Sit this one out today.
If Uren came and started eating, then Sejun would have to grow Necrium, and then there'd be the slaughtering, and a whole lot of other hassles.
"Cuengi, Reflect!"
Sejun lifted Cuengi up and aimed him at Uren.
Kueng! Kueng!
With a battle cry, Cuengi lightly threw a right jab and a left jab in sequence toward Uren.
Boom!
[Advanced Herbalist Park Cuengi have slain the Cunning Mantis, Tedora.]
One hit on the enemy chasing Uren.
Boom!
Kkuiiik-!
One hit beside Uren.
The shockwave from Cuengi's punch sent Uren flying back into the hole he'd just emerged from.
The reception that followed proceeded in a warm, cheerful atmosphere without any further trouble.
"Ugghh. What?! Did you jus' shay I'm drunk?!"
Now and then, a guest who'd had too much to drink would try to ruin the mood, but.
"Blackie, to the Room of Hangover."
Kihihit. Kking!
[Hehe. Butler! Leave it to Great Blackie! Great Blackie will give them Mental Training so they never throw drunken tantrums again!]
Blackie handled it well.
Word later had it that the guests dragged off to the Room of Hangover, whenever they drank afterward, would have nightmares of being ganged up on by a giant wolf and twelve monsters, and they never touched alcohol again.
And.
[Black Tower 99F Poisonous Bee No. 160,037: Welcome to your new role as a Sejun Company's Full-time Employee!]
"What? I'm a Sejun Company Full-time Employee?!"
Without them even realizing, a cat paw stamp had been pressed onto the back of their head.
"Heheheh. Good. Just a little more and Extreme Satisfaction is mine."
Everything was going smoothly.
"Thief! Someone stole the Congratulatory Money!"
"What?! The Congratulatory Money got stolen?!"
Until the wedding's Congratulatory Money got stolen, that is.
