“I see . It must be for a wedding then . ” [Ryouma]
Rurutia is the Goddess of Love . She rules over human relationships . Kufo and Willieris are of life and land respectively . These three are gods that are prayed to during marriage to bless the health of a married coupled and the birth of a new life .
“It’s exactly as you’ve inferred . I believe you’ve heard of it already, but we plan to hold a wedding here . ” [Reinhart]
“The bride has been serving us for a long time and she always takes her work seriously…” [Elize]
“So we wanted to hold the ceremony for her . ” [Reinhart]
“That’s right . ” [Elize]
I heard about it from Arone-san in the waiting room earlier .
That maid has been working for the duke’s family for a long time and was deeply trusted by everyone around her . But she was always focused on her work, and despite being of age already, she still didn’t have any lovers . …At least, that’s what everyone thought, but then all of the sudden, last month, she announced that she was getting married .
But all of her friends are servants . Even if they tried to hold a ceremony, not everyone could make it . If they tried to force it, they would only cause trouble for the duke’s family . So it seems she wasn’t planning on holding a ceremony and was just going to save the money that would have otherwise gone into it .

By the way, the way Arone-san talked about her was like that of a mother worrying over her daughter .
“That child is always working, but she puts her work over her own wellbeing too much . ” [Elize]
“If she doesn’t want to hold a ceremony herself, then we figured we’d hold it for her and surprise her . Her coworkers have also expressed their intentions of wanting to hold one for her . It’s not just Ryoumkun . Serge, Pioro, if you’re willing to help us with the decorations and the food, that would help us out a lot . ” [Reinhart]
The two accepted the job with a smile . I’d love to help too, but…
“Are you sure it’s okay for me to be making the statues when it’s such an important celebration?” [Ryouma]
It’s going to be a memory that the bride and the groom will remember for the rest of their lives, so I can’t help but be concerned .
But Reinhart-san just laughed .
“It’s fine . It’s fine . Actually, while we were planning, the plan leaked to the person herself, so it’s not a surprise anymore and we’re preparing the ceremony while getting her input . The person herself said that something you’ve made will do . ” [Reinhart]
“If you’re so worried, why not try talking to her? She wanted to talk with you too . ” [Elize]

As soon as she said that, she rang the bell under the table .
“You called, Madam?” [Maid]
The maid with cat ears from before appeared .
“We’re talking about your wedding, Rurunez . ” [Elize]
“Huh?” [Rurunez]
So she’s the maid getting married?
Now that I look at her again, she’s smartly dressed with a pair of glasses on . She looks like a career woman or a secretary, but she’s a beauty no doubt . She seems like the serious sort . But when she found out that we were talking about her wedding, her cheeks suddenly turned beet red .
…Yeah . I bet she’s popular among the men . Wouldn’t be a surprise if the groom becomes the object of envy .
“Thank you so much, my lords . ” [Rurunez]
“There’s no need to hold back . We’re planning on entrusting the statues of the gods to Ryoumkun . You’re fine with that, right?” [Elize]
When the madam asked her that, she nodded .
“Of course, Madam . Takebayashi-sama’s skills have been acknowledged by none other than Your Grace and His Grace . He is a benefactor to us, husband and wife . My husband has repeatedly expressed his desire for Takebayashi-sama to make the statues . And I personally prefer to have them crafted instead of bought ready-made from the stores . Of course, only if it won’t trouble you, Takebayashi-sama . ” [Rurunez]
“Of course not! It’s no trouble at all! If you’re happy to have me make it, then by all means, please let me . ” [Ryouma]
But there’s another question bothering me .
“You mentioned your husband talking about me . Could he be someone I know? And since he says I’m his benefactor then…” [Ryouma]
When I asked that, Rurunez-san adorably inclined her head .
“…He hasn’t talked to you about it? I heard he met with you yesterday, though . ” [Rurunez]
“Yesterday?” [Ryouma]
“Yes . He’s always saying that he’ll talk to you about it when he meets you next, so when he said that he brought you to your inn last night—” [Rurunez]
I thought for sure he’d explained things to you properly . Me too . Same .
At this point, the voices of the maid and the ducal couple suddenly became strangely distant .
Benefactor . Someone who knows my skill in making statues . Someone I met yesterday . Led me to the inn…
When those keywords were inputted into my brain, my brain’s search engine came up with a result .
“Could you be talking about… Hyuzu-san!?” [Ryouma]
“Y-Yes . My husband is indeed Hyuzu…” [Rurunez]
The cat-eared beauty became even redder .
Hyuzu-san is a good guy and all, but I never thought he’d actually marry . I’m shocked .
I know it’s not strange given his age, but… So he’s going to be marrying this person, huh?
It’s something to be happy about, I know . But as someone with no connection to the word ‘love’, I think I’m about to explode .
Somehow, the audience with the duke’s family ended with me feeling complicated .
