"This place is very beautiful, darling," Belfast said as she walked slowly across the field of scattered flowers.
"Is this the Garden of Avalon… the place where Merlin was sealed?" Kuroneko asked, her eyes scanning the gentle light surrounding them.
"Yes," Yuuto replied as he carefully set Kuroneko down. "And this place is perfect for our wedding."
Lady Avalon smiled faintly.
"Then," she said lightly yet with authority, "let us begin, honey."
"First, we need wedding dresses. It would be impossible to get married wearing only ordinary clothes."
She struck her staff against the ground.
Woosh—
A gentle light enveloped them all.
Irene's outfit transformed into a modern haute couture gown—clean lines, elegant, and mature. The fabric draped perfectly along her silhouette.
Irene lowered her gaze, examining the dress she now wore.
"Hm… fine clothing," she said softly, her tone satisfied yet calm.
Yamato's attire transformed into a traditional Japanese wedding kimono—pure white with red accents, sacred and filled with meaning.
Yamato raised her hands and laughed freely.
"Hahahaha! This outfit?" "It suits me perfectly!"
She stood tall, proudly wrapped in tradition.
Kuroneko's dress became a dark gothic wedding gown, layered black lace with intricate details—elegant yet adorable.
Kuroneko looked at her hands, then spun lightly.
"Waaa… it's so cute!" she said, her eyes sparkling.
Miku's dress transformed into a white wedding gown with a wide, flowing skirt—soft and shimmering like a dream.
Miku held the hem of her skirt and twirled gently.
"Such a beautiful dress…" she said in admiration.
Belfast now wore a classic bridal gown—pure white, fine lace, and simple ornaments that enhanced her dignity.
She examined the details politely, then bowed slightly toward Lady Avalon.
"This dress is very beautiful, Lady Avalon. Thank you," she said sincerely.
Lady Avalon chuckled softly.
"Hehehe~ of course," she said casually. "All of you are beautiful—so anything would suit you."
She then stepped forward.
"Very well… now it's my turn."
Light once again enveloped her body.
Lady Avalon's attire transformed into a white wedding gown adorned with floral details, open shoulders, graceful and elegant.
She looked at Yuuto with a meaningful smile.
"Now," she said, "we are ready."
Yuuto looked at them all—one by one.
"You are all very beautiful," Yuuto said honestly, without embellishment.
They all smiled.
In each of their hands, they held a single flower—different colors, yet equally beautiful.
"Now it's your turn, honey," Lady Avalon said as she struck her staff against the ground.
Tok.
White light enveloped Yuuto.
The armor of Arthur that he usually wore slowly faded, transforming into an elegant white suit—neatly tailored, simple, yet radiating the dignity of a king.
They all stared at him.
"Yuuto… you look so handsome," Miku said, her face flushing.
"It suits my husband very well," Irene said calmly.
"Even though it's not a Montsuki Haori," Yamato said cheerfully, "it's still pretty good, anata."
"A very fine suit, darling," Belfast said gracefully, looking at Yuuto with pride.
"It seems I can't back out anymore after this," Kuroneko muttered softly, staring at Yuuto's attire, her face red.
"Hehehe~ nice, isn't it, honey?" Lady Avalon said with a satisfied smile.
"Yes," Yuuto replied firmly. "It's very good."
"Alright," Lady Avalon continued, "now all that's left is the stage and the carpet."
As soon as those words were spoken—
A white stage appeared before them, adorned with gentle light.
A long white carpet stretched from where they stood up to the stage.
"Now," Lady Avalon said in a sacred voice, "let us begin the wedding."
They lined up.
Yuuto stood in the center.
On Yuuto's right side, Miku held his hand tightly.
On his left side, Lady Avalon also held his hand.
Beside Miku stood Yamato and Belfast.
Beside Lady Avalon stood Kuroneko and Irene.
They walked together.
The sound of bells echoed softly, accompanying each step they took on the white carpet.
Step by step—
until they finally reached the stage.
There, upon a small table—simple yet sacred—
was a box containing seven wedding rings.
Silence enveloped the place.
The ceremony had begun.
---
Miku and Lady Avalon released Yuuto's hands.
Yuuto stepped forward alone toward the table, picked up the ring box, and turned to face them.
"These are our wedding rings. Though they may look ordinary, I have embedded my consciousness within them. If you activate them, you will gain temporary authority over your respective worlds," Yuuto said.
"Oh? Did you add a bit of your fae essence as well?" Lady Avalon asked.
"Yes, Sensei. This is the first magical item into which I've placed my consciousness," Yuuto replied.
Yuuto then stepped toward Irene first.
Yuuto approached, and Irene extended her hand to receive her ring.
She looked at him and spoke.
"Yuuto Kido."
"You came to me. You proved to me that I still possess a human heart. I had long forgotten fear, anger, despair, and love. But because of you, I can feel them again."
She continued,
"I stand here not as the Dragon Queen, Scarlet Despair, Wise Dragon, or Mother of All Dragon Slayers—but as a woman who will become your wife."
"I swear to walk by your side as long as my heart still beats as a human."
Yuuto slid the ring onto Irene's finger.
"From this moment on, I am your wife."
After saying that, Irene kissed Yuuto's lips.
The bell rang.

Yuuto then walked toward Kuroneko.
Kuroneko's hands trembled. Her black gothic dress swayed gently in Avalon's breeze.
"Yuuto…"
Ruri extended her fingers.
"I'm still too young. I'm only fifteen. I'm not mature yet, and even when it comes to love, I'm inexperienced. I'm not an ideal woman—let alone a queen who can stand beside you."
She took a breath and continued,
"But there is one thing I know for certain…"
"My heart chose you."
"I know I'm not ready to be a wife yet. But I want to grow and learn together with you, by your side."
"And if you accept that, then… I, Ruri Gokou… with feelings that are still awkward and imperfect… accept you, Yuuto Kido, as my husband."
Yuuto took Kuroneko's finger and slowly placed the wedding ring onto it.
The ring settled onto Kuroneko's finger.
Her eyes widened. Her hand trembled as she looked at the ring.
"E-eh… it's really real…"
Yuuto smiled, then slowly leaned down and kissed Ruri's lips.
Ruri was startled, but she accepted it, closing her eyes.
When their faces parted, Ruri's face was bright red.
The bell rang again.
"Idiot…" Ruri muttered as she stepped away from Yuuto.
---
Yuuto then walked toward Lady Avalon, who greeted him with her usual smile.
"Honey," Lady Avalon said.
"I'm happy to see you come this far. You became this way not only because of Arthur's body, sin, or fae—but because of yourself."
She pointed at him.
"You learned, rose, and moved forward by your own will. That's why you're not Arthur's shadow—you are a new king who will open a different path."
"And because of that, I want to walk beside you—not as a court mage anymore, but as your partner."
"I accept Yuuto Kido, with all his strengths and flaws,"
"as my first official husband."
She smiled teasingly.
"And of course… as someone I will continue to tease for the rest of my life."
Lady Avalon extended her hand.
Yuuto slowly slid the ring onto her finger.
Lady Avalon looked at the ring, then at Yuuto.
"Fufu~ you really did it. Now…"
She stepped closer, held Yuuto's head, and kissed him.
The bell rang again.
"Now… you can't run away anymore, honey."
Yuuto smiled at Lady Avalon, then stepped toward Miku.
"Yuuto," Miku called.
"I… may not be good with grand words, and I'm not very mature."
"But there's one thing I've known from the beginning. I'm happy you've become like this. I've seen you fall, fail, shut yourself off, and sink into despair."
"But even in that state, you stood back up and didn't give up."
"I didn't fall in love with you because you're strong—
but because you rose from your lowest point and never gave up."
"Yuuto… I want to stay here by your side and sing for you. I want to see the world together with you."
"I, Hatsune Miku… accept Yuuto Kido, with all my heart, as my husband."
Miku extended her fingers, and Yuuto gently slid the ring onto her finger.
"Thank you," Miku said as she looked at the ring.
She stepped closer, stood on her toes, and kissed Yuuto.
The bell rang.
"I'm very happy, Yuuto," Miku said with a smile.
---
Next, Yuuto walked toward Yamato.
"Anata," Yamato said cheerfully.
"I'm not good at pretty speeches," she said honestly. "And I don't want to pretend to be someone I'm not."
She tapped her chest.
"I respect strength deeply, and you are strong—not just physically, but here," Yamato said, pointing at Yuuto's heart.
"You don't hesitate to help others. You faced false gods and their followers with both strength and words."
"You guided them to the right path and led them without abandoning them."
"You're not a monster that relies only on power—you are a king."
"And I really like people like that."
"If you become king, then I'll be the one who stands beside you—laughing and fighting together on the battlefield."
"I, Yamato, swear to become your wife."
Yamato extended her finger, and Yuuto slowly placed the ring on it.
"Hehehe, this is a very beautiful ring," Yamato said.
She stepped closer and kissed Yuuto gently.
The bell rang once more.
---
Finally, Yuuto walked toward Belfast at the end.
Belfast stepped forward calmly.
"Darling."
"I was born as a warship, created to serve, protect, and fight."
"My duty was clear. But when… I stood by your side, I began to understand something."
She placed a hand on her chest.
"I want to stand beside you not as a weapon of war, but as your partner."
"Whether you are my destiny or not, I—Belfast—will, from this moment onward, always be with you."
Belfast extended her fingers, and Yuuto gently placed the ring on her hand.
"Thank you for choosing me."
Belfast kissed Yuuto softly.
"From today onward…"
"I am the home that will always wait for your return."
The bell rang again.
