I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"But I see you guys are getting along very quickly, and you have such a cute little sister! In that case, it doesn't matter whether she is human or not!"

At this moment, Cheng Rang reminded in a low voice: "Well, if that's the case, Kelong, I won't hide it from you. Hubie is actually over two hundred years old...according to her age, you have to call her Nai... ..”

puff--!

"Stop talking~" Cheng Rang was hit hard in the abdomen by Ke Long, who was smiling, and his words were forcefully interrupted and stuffed back.

This blow seemed to have many other elements of revenge, and it directly beat Cheng Rang until he curled up and fell to the ground as if he had lost his fighting ability.

Sure enough, Ke Long is also very strong...

"Have a break~ Let me tell you, once humans get married,

, you have to kiss your family members. This is a tradition that has been passed down from ancient times——"

"There's no such thing! Hubby, don't take it seriously, leave her quickly!" Rick shouted, protecting Hubby behind him, blocking Kelong who wanted to pout and come over for a kiss.

"Ah, Rick! It's rare to have an extra family member, and you want to hold a wedding!!"

"——Kelong, I am very grateful for your kindness, but we no longer exist..."

Halfway through this sentence, Rick stopped when he noticed Kelong's serious expression.

Whether it's Rick or Croon, they have no one left to call family.

Because they are no longer here...not to mention that to the outside world, both Rick and Hubby are dead - that means...

"Then let me play the role of a priest and let you become an official couple." Cheng Rang got up from the ground, patted the dust on his clothes and said with a smile: "Kelong, as a relative of Rick, you will witness this. How about a wedding with just four people?"

Surprisingly, the first person to answer was Hubie.

"...I want to get married..."

She looked up at Rick and said, "I want to be an official couple."

"..."

So today, there were many "firsts" - even unimaginable behaviors.

A sword god who truly possesses godhood and is recognized by the will of the major worlds (the system, HL's superior existence, the center of the small garden) and the star spirits (Shiroyasha), actually came to act as a "priest" to preside over the wedding. (Though Rick and the others don’t know)

It was also the first time for Cheng Rang to do this kind of thing, and he was even a little unfamiliar with it, so he repeatedly asked Ke Long for advice.

"By the way, why is Kelong so skilled at being a matchmaker for other people's marriages?"

Cheng Rang, who was warned by Ke Long's heavy blow to the head again, honestly took the manuscript written by Ke Long and stood in front of Rick and Hubi.

Chapter 55: Oath and Seal Engraving

But even so, it's actually just a simple ritual with no big deal.

The vows are exchanged and the three people's names are signed on the document.

People from the settlement were supposed to be gathered to participate, but Rick and Hubie were already dead.

Ke Long said that in this case, she and Cheng Rang would witness their marriage on the spot.

During this preparation time, Cheng Rang silently memorized the manuscript, then cleared his throat, stepped forward and said, "Get ready to start!"

"oh."

————————

In the secret base, Hubie, who was wearing a garland, and Rick, who was wearing clothes provided by Cheng Rang, were forced to change into them on the pretext that wearing such shabby clothes was too perfunctory for a once-in-a-lifetime wedding.

Just standing on the stage hand in hand, looking at the smiling Cheng Rang in front of him and Ke Long behind him.

"Groom Rick, are you willing to swear to accept Hubie as your wife, walk with her, support each other, love each other, and survive together?"

As a client, Rick couldn't help but smile bitterly from the bottom of his heart when he heard such an oath.

Whenever a wedding was held in the settlement, he could only bow his head and say nothing, but now -

"I do."

"Rick, should you say 'swear to your will' at this time, right?!" Ke Long reminded from the side.

"Sorry, that sentence has been abolished, so - I want to [swear to consent]."

Hearing what he said, Ke Long puffed up her cheeks and kept muttering: "Well, you did so many things secretly behind my back. It's really unpleasant..."

So Kelong, why are you staring at me when you say this?

Cheng Rang raised the corners of his mouth and subconsciously avoided Ke Long's heated gaze.

"Hey~ you talk a lot, and so does the priest. It's time to continue!"

Rick booed like an audience, Ke Long glared at him, and Cheng Rang pretended to cough to get the atmosphere back on track.

Turning to face Hubi, Cheng Rang read out the oath: "Bride Hubi, are you willing to swear to accept Rick as your husband, walk with him, support each other, love each other, and survive together -"

"I do!"

Hubi couldn't wait to answer immediately, but his form was ignored continuously. Ke Long dropped his shoulders in disappointment, while Cheng Rang laughed dryly and scratched his head.

At this time Hubi continued: "Rick gave Hubi the meaning of existence, birth...and heart. Hubi swore to Rick...never let Rick die...Hubi wanted to live." Come down and stay with Rick until the end....Swear your consent!"

"Oh~~! Oh~~! What is that?!" Kelon exclaimed, covered his mouth with a smirk, and moved his gaze towards Rick, as if he saw something extremely rare.

I never thought that one day I would see this younger brother blush!

"Then, Hubby, will you swear to be a good wife to your husband Rick?"

"Kelong, have we decided on this line? By the way, am I not the wedding host?"

"...Okay...wife...?" Regarding this word with unclear meaning, Hubie tilted his head, a little confused.

She started messing around again, and Rick couldn't help but sigh.

"Don't make Rick sad, he was a kid who lost his smile...don't take that smile away from him...can you do that?"

Seeing Ke Long asking with such serious expression, Hubi thought silently.

...

To be honest, she had no self-confidence, although she didn't know what to do - but Hubie replied: "I swear, I will be a 'good wife'."

....Well, Ke Long nodded as if he was relieved, and then——

"Ah, one more thing! A good nightlife is also a necessary condition for a good wife! The skills in bed are——"

Ke Long's nonsense became even more exaggerated, and Cheng Rang couldn't help but cover his face, not wanting to look at him any more.

"Ah Kelon, Hubie can't do that kind of thing, you know, her race..."

Hearing what Rick said, Kelon reflected on himself with a stiff expression. He wanted to ease the atmosphere, but he made a mistake.

But Hubie suddenly raised his hand.

"As long as Hubi knows the internal structure... he can construct himself - he can make [holes]."

"Wha...what?"

"Oh! That's great, Rick! Congratulations on being a virgin-"

"So, Kelon shows Hubi, Kelon's..."

——The world is really unreasonable.

Rick thought as his mind shook from the fist that hit his cheek.

"Why am I being beaten!"

"Because this matter will be fine as long as you remain a virgin for the rest of your life! That's it!"

Ke Long said, took out the gemstone that he always wore around his waist and said, "Then engrave our names on it, and you will be an official couple!"

Cheng Rang came over to look at the gem in Ke Long's hand, pointed at himself and said, "Eh? Do you want mine to be engraved too?"

"Of course! You are a witness!"

It would be better to say that the name Ke Long wanted engraved on it most was Cheng Rang's.

"....What Rick and the others said, since you no longer exist to the outside world, can't it be left on the document? I inherited this gem from my grandfather. As long as it is engraved with several people's names, If you add decorations on one side—right?"

"No one can see it." Cheng Rang continued.

Even though Rick said nothing, Croon sensed his intentions.

Rick admired him in his heart. If it was indeed Kelon - he could trust everyone to him.

Because Kelon's full name is already engraved on the gem.

Neither Rick nor Hubie engraved on it have last names, which means that Ke Long’s real intention is——

"...Then you two are husband and wife, and you have officially become my brother and sister!"

Kelon said this with an expression that sounded both happy and lonely at the same time.

After giving a wry smile, Rick and Hubby picked up the knives.

The two of them engraved Ke Long's surname under their names, although it felt like it was not easy to pronounce -

After the engraving was completed, Ke Long held the stone and came to Cheng Rang who was watching everything silently.

"..." Ke Long seemed speechless for a moment. He just lowered his head and handed the stone to Cheng Rang.

"Is it my turn?" Taking the stone and carving knife, Cheng Rang blinked and stared at the back of the stone in trance.

——Clonie Dora.

——Rick Dora.

-- Hubie Dora.

"It turns out your full name is Croni Dora... Really, I only know it now."

Because in the life of the settlement, there was no need to call her by her full name, so it was not until a year later that Cheng Rang, who had called her Kelong for so long, learned the girl's full name.

Carved on the top of the stone were human characters commonly used in the settlement. After Cheng Rang hesitated for a while, he muttered: "If no one can see it, this is fine."

So he began to carve seals with a knife.

After a while, after blowing away the stone chips, Cheng Rang handed the stone back to Ke Long, "Okay."

"...Eh? What kind of text is this?" Ke Long's surprised voice attracted the attention of Rick and Hubie. The two of them also came over and looked at the two squares next to Ke Long's name. Same text.

Rick asked: "Hubby...can you understand?"

A stream of information flashed through Hubi's pupils, and he finally shook his head and said: "No, Hubi can't understand it... It seems that the written data of all races cannot match this writing form."

Cheng Rang smiled and said: "It's the language of my hometown. Although I haven't written it for a long time, it's just a little unfamiliar - that's my full name: 'Cheng Rang'."

"...Didn't you expect that you are really from another world? Eh! In that case..." Rick was halfway through speaking, and looked at Kelong who was holding a stone with a complicated expression.

"I think Ke Long should have discovered this a long time ago, so there is no need to hide it anymore." Cheng Rang looked at the thoughtful girl in front of him and smiled helplessly.

Chapter 56 The chess game called "The World"

It turns out that Ke Long already knows all this...but he has kept the secret until now, and his attitude towards Hubi and Cheng Rang has not changed at all.

"When?" Rick paused as he asked, and then speculated: "Could it be the day Ivan was rescued..."

Kelon nodded, and Rick was speechless.

She treasured the stone with the four names engraved on it, and then showed an expression that looked more like a sister than a real sister.

"...Rick, Hubie."

I wanted to stop them, but that was impossible. I understand this, but still

Ran forced himself to put on a smile - Ke Long said with that smile: "I don't know what you...everyone are going to do, and you are no longer in this world, but."

Hug the two of them hard.

"I know that my important brother and sister are still there, so...please...I don't want to lose my family anymore, please don't force yourself."

Rick and Hubie couldn't see Kelon's expression, but when they heard her trembling voice, they nodded in agreement.

"Okay, no one will die, and I won't let anyone die. There is only this [game] - I must win."

"Leave it to us...sister..."
