Chapter 168.2
“Right, that would probably be a good idea . ” [Jill]

“I’ll talk to the people that come . ” [Camil]
“In that case, please gather them by that corner over there . I’ll explain to them there what we’ll be doing . ” [Ryouma]
“That area with various stuff like those mountains of sand? Gotcha!” [Camil]
“I’ll go there too then . ” [Zeff]
“Doesn’t seem like I’m needed . Do you need help with your preparations? If there’s anything you need, just say it . ” [Jill]
“In that case, there is something I need your help for . ” [Ryouma]
And then we began working .
“The first thing I would like to ask everyone to do is to build the area for those participating in the wedding ceremony . The designated area has already been dug deeper than the rest of the lot and has been reinforced with brick . So, please start with the interiors .
First… In the inner side of the bricked area, mountains of soil have already been piled up in random intervals . Get some soil from the nearest pile to you and lay them over the ground and press it . Use the tool here to flatten the ground . The thickness of the soil is marked on the bricks surrounding the area you are to work in . Please refer to those . Start from the ends and make your way inside . ” [Ryouma]
I had Jill-san help me to demonstrate to the people what to do .

Once the ground has been made even enough for people to walk on it .
“Once the ground has been prepared, you will lay out these stone plates . ” [Ryouma]
That was a stone plate assembled using ‘H’-shaped blocks without any space between them . Taking into consideration that most of the people participating in this work have had no prior experience, I assembled one of the blocks beforehand and completed it using earth magic with the image of ‘one’ . Since a single side of the area we need to cover is about 3 meters wide each, after leveling the ground, we can immediately turn the area into a beautiful venue if we lay down these blocks .
The blocks are heavy, but these people work as guards, so they should be confident in their strength and stamina .
“Put them together like this and line them up one after another . If you do that a space to connect the next block will appear . Please insert a different block in that space . When you place the block, you’ll be able to easily connect it with another one . ” [Ryouma]
“Oh, that’s actually a lot easier than I was expecting . ” [Man 1]
“So we just lay some of that soil of yours and put these plates over it, right?” [Man 2]
“Is that really enough?” [Man 3]
“For our objective this time, it’s more than enough . ” [Ryouma]
Overdoing things will just lead to more work and it’ll make it a lot more difficult to return things here to the way they were before once the ceremony is done . Because of that I made sure to harden the foundation with earth magic . One day for both the wedding ceremony and the celebration . One week before and after should be more than enough .
“I’ve prepared a spirit level here . Please be careful with the height and evenness of the soil . A person could trip himself over a connection when drunk, and if the slope is bad, the food and the drinks might slide off . It’s simple work, but whether or not the party will be a enjoyable is all dependent on everyone’s work here!” [Ryouma]

“Ha ha, whether the drinks are enjoyable or not, huh . ” [Man 4]
“When you put it that way, I get really fired up . ” [Man 5]
“Please do get fired up . Also, one more thing, in the space between the bricks at the edge and the stone plates, please place the same bricks as before . If there are earth magicians here, please do help out—” [Ryouma]
“In that case, count me in . I’m affiliated with the magic squad and specialize in barrier magic, but I can use earth magic fairly well . ” [Woman 1]
“I can use it too . ” [Woman 2]
“I’ll do it!” [Camil]
I heard some voices coming from behind the wall of well-statured men .
The crowd of people opened up and a group of slender men and women came to view .
Camil-san was with them . They mentioned magic squad, so…
“Magic squad? You must be magic specialists then! Thank you very much! Please allow me to rely on you . ” [Ryouma]
I was a little exaggerated when I thanked them . Because of that they made a quiet but satisfied wry smile .
“I still have something to explain to the mages, so please come here . Everyone else can begin working . Thank you . ” [Ryouma]
“Alright, let’s get this work going!” [Jill]
“Yeah!” [Others]
Jill-san took the lead and the guards went into work .
Meanwhile, Camil-san gathered the people from the mage squad while Zeff-san told the people who came late where they should go .
It was in this way that the 3 people with many connections reduced my workload and made the whole operation go smoothly .
…As for the two leading actors .
“Let me help too . ” [Hyuzu]
“Hyuzu? Is your stomach feeling well already?” [Man 6
“If you’re feeling better already, then why don’t you accompany your wife?” [Man 7]
“Just hurry and go!” [Man 8]
“I’m jealous damn it!” [Man 9]
“I hear there are women who get anxious before the ceremony!” [Man 10]
“Yeah! Yeah! And yet you’re working so seriously when it’s so out of character for you!” [Man 11]
“If Rurunez-san becomes anxious because of you, I’ll kill you…” [Man 12]
“Talk things over again properly . It’s fine if you change your mind, you know . ” [Man 13]
“Anyway, hurry up and go!” [Man 14]
“Don’t you dare come here, traitor!” [Man 15]
“Wait a moment— GUFU!?” [Hyuzu]
“Sorry, sorry . Please take care of this guy . ” [Man 16]
I can’t tell if they’re jealous or treating him well… The one thing I’m sure of is that after just recovering, Hyuzu-san was down for the count again and was with Rurunez-san once more . While Hyuzu-san was spending time with his soon-to-be-wife, all these people were watching him from a distance . In a sense, it could be said that he was either in heaven or hell .
…Everyone might have a good relationship, but the way they do things is too extreme .
