I’d like to relax and enjoy the wedding reception, but work keeps finding .
Mainly, it’s greeting the guests who’ve co to the event.
Especially the unfamiliar impure dragons and their subordinates.
With Rasuti and Gucci assisting , all I need to do is stand in the back, nod like I’m soone 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 sa 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 et you.
And thank you for coming to Guinel and tora’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 sa 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, co 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 al on the table.
The cloaked guy seed to think for a mont 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 imrsed in the reception feast, naturally centered their discussions on Guinel and tora.
What puzzled , 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 sothing 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.
By the way, I heard tora has many little sisters, but is Toshira the only one attending the wedding and reception?
tora’s family mbers, 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 Raiiren again. Calm down, okay?
It’s fine.
This is a celebratory occasion, after all.
Raiiren will understand that your actions are out of concern for tora.
Hnn?
Oh, I see. Your parents and sisters have sent gifts for the occasion.
It’s not that I was suspecting you’re not getting along or anything.
I just thought it’d be nice to et tora’s sisters while I had the chance.
Now then… Toshira.
You’ve been drinking non-stop—are you alright?
Celebratory drinking?
Or is it that you’ve given up on stopping tora’s marriage and this is your way of drowning your sorrows?
No?
Genuine celebratory drinking.
You’re planning to encourage tora to have children soon so you can beco an aweso aunt?
Well, if you’ve set your next goal, that’s good.
But as for your drinking… I wasn’t worried about the amount.
I just wanted to warn you that if you drink recklessly, soone might step in and reprimand you.
Yes, even if you’re an impure dragon, it doesn’t matter.
As long as you’re not getting out of control, it’s fine.
Heavy drinkers are always welco.

Ancestor-san.
Though he doesn’t have much of a connection with tora, he attended the wedding as a show of support.
Then there was the voice of god we heard during the ceremony.
I was worried about how he’d react, but… he was surprisingly composed.
「Fufufu. Just because it’s a god doesn’t an I’ll worship them without question.」
I see.
Indeed, that voice wasn’t from the God of Creation Ancestor-san believed in.
The God of Creation I know and the one Ancestor-sama worships might not be the sa, but sohow, I instinctively knew the voice’s source wasn’t from the God of Creation.
In that case, what’s this image depiction and order form for?
「It’s an imagined depiction of the god behind the voice. I interviewed those who heard the voice and drew what they described.」
The depiction of the god… what did they actually say?
Elegant, yet with an air of soone who used to be wild and reckless in the past—a mischievous yet dignified woman.
TN: Okay, the moon god is a goddess.
I can’t help but wonder why the depiction turned out like this, but it feels oddly fitting.
Got it.
I’ll carve this when I find so ti.
Though spring farming has settled down, I’m still busy with various tasks.
By the way, is Versa alright?
She’s been with Kurokuro the entire ti.
「Hnn? Sotis, spending ti 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 , 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 sothing that big by myself. If my hazy mory serves right, I got help from several others, including him.」
I see.
We can’t ask for help this ti since he’s here for the reception, but maybe I should show him the Big Tree Dungeon soti.
He might have so 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 announcent before the children head to bed?
Oh, right, Tiselle ntioned unveiling the na 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 announcent in the royal capital.
「We will now reveal the na of the new country and its first representative.」
Tiselle’s magically amplified voice echoed throughout the reception hall.
「The na 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 an, 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 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 encouragent 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 na will be explained next ti.
TN: So, it’s basically Village Six. Should I rena it “Dragon Kingdom Six” or sothing? Let’s wait for the clarification.
