21st Century Necromancer

The interlude ended peacefully, and the match made between Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi was blessed by the deities, allowing the wedding ceremony to continue smoothly.

Having completed the ceremony, Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi temporarily left the scene to change clothes, while the Matchmaking God hopped back to Suzuhime's side, eagerly anticipating the upcoming feast.

"Lord Miketsu didn't ask you to do this much when he sent you." Looking at the Matchmaking God, still beaming with joy, Suzuhime complained to her with irritation, "Besides, didn't you say you don't believe in fate hundreds of years ago?"

"Since I was asked to bless them, of course, I should do it my way!" Deliberately ignoring Suzuhime's last remark, the Matchmaking God sat on a chair, swinging her legs and appearing to be in a very good mood.

Perhaps because she just tied a bond of fate, the Matchmaking God took an interested look at the connections of people around her.

Every person had a red string of fate extending from them, some bright and some dim, with the vast majority connected to someone far away and not present at the venue; as for those whose red strings reached someone in the venue, they were either couples who came together or had hidden connections.

For example, Inomata Naoki, who was sitting at the same table, was happily chatting with a girl sitting at the table behind him, and a faint red string of fate linked the two together.

But this girl was of great interest to the Matchmaking God because she seemed rather odd, not at all like a living person.

"Suzuhime, don't you think that girl over there is very strange?" the Matchmaking God spoke softly to Suzuhime, pointing out the girl to her.

"Indeed, she's strange. She doesn't have the aura of a living person, and there's a spell concealing her." Suzuhime nodded slightly in agreement, but neither she nor the Matchmaking God thought about dealing with this matter—as a living dead person, she was not significant enough to involve a Divine Servant or a true deity.

Moreover, Suzuhime could sense that the spell concealing the girl, who had no aura of life, was very similar to Chen Yu's spells.

After all, she was Chen Yu's guest, and he was obviously aware of her situation; Suzuhime was not willing to provoke Chen Yu over such a trivial matter.

As the music started up once again, Yu Chen and Hiromi Jounouchi, dressed in new attire, reappeared before everyone.

As the groom, Yu Chen had simply exchanged his silver-gray suit for a black one, while Hiromi Jounouchi's wedding dress was much more lavish and dazzling than the one before.

The ombre blue gown hugged Hiromi Jounouchi's body from top to bottom, accentuating her lovely figure while featuring a slit at the calf to reveal a stretch of her fair leg, along with a pair of crystal high heels made of actual crystal on her feet.

The hem of the gown was inlaid with tiny diamonds, fashioned to resemble waves, and aside from the hem, the rest of the gown was decorated with numerous small diamonds like stars in the sky, making the entire gown appear as if wearing the night sky itself, glittering under the spotlight.

However, the most sparkling part of Hiromi Jounouchi was not the dress. On her forehead, she wore a diamond tiara. Atop the tiara was a pear-shaped diamond as big as a pigeon's egg, so large that everyone present wondered if it was real.

After all, even the diamonds on the crowns of the mighty British Empire that once ruled the waves were only slightly larger than that one.

If Jounouchi Hiromi's attire were all made of real diamonds, the value of her tiara and long dress could easily be described as priceless; after all, just one of those pigeon's egg-sized diamonds could fetch tens of millions of US dollars at auction.

Especially considering the teardrop-shaped pink diamond on her neck which was only slightly smaller than the one atop her head.

"Is this the surprise you spoke of, Mr. Chen Yu?" Clasping Chen Yu's hand and standing on the stage, Jounouchi Hiromi inquired in barely audible whispers about the origin of the diamonds: "Where did these diamonds come from?"

"Giant dragons adore shiny things, and I raided a Dragon Tomb. What do you think?" Chen Yu glanced at Jounouchi Hiromi, maintaining his smile, "The collection of a giant dragon is indeed astonishing. There's another set in the castle made of blue diamonds, but it's a shame wearing them would be too garish since they're as big as eggs."

Hearing this, Jounouchi Hiromi's eyes lit up. Perhaps influenced by her Dragon Bloodline, she had almost no resistance to these sparkling little stones, and was already thinking about the jewelry set Chen Yu mentioned in the castle, even before the wedding had concluded.

While they spoke, a massive nine-tier wedding cake was wheeled in front of them.

Together, they held a cake knife and made a symbolic cut, after which they could finally sit down and enjoy their own wedding banquet.

——————————————————

"I'm really envious of Brother Yu! The first time I saw him with his sister-in-law, he still told me she wasn't his girlfriend!" Watching Chen Yu and Jounouchi Hiromi toast the guests, Inomata Naoki couldn't help but express his admiration.

Minami, who was sitting at the next table with their seats closely adjacent, also nodded in agreement to Inomata Naoki's sentiments: "Yeah, Doctor Chen Yu and Doctor Jounouchi are such a perfect match!"

For Minami, who had practically come back to life from the dead, being able to return to this world, live with her father again, should have been perfect happiness, yet witnessing the joy between Chen Yu and Hiromi Jounouchi left her feeling a hint of envy.

She knew she could no longer experience a wedding like Jounouchi Hiromi, walking down the aisle in a wedding dress to marry the one she loved. Chen Yu had already informed her of the restrictions between life and death when he brought her back to this world.

Moreover, what living person would fall in love with someone who was dead? Love between the living and the deceased ultimately remained a tale only for movies and novels.

But I still really want to experience love! Even if it's a love without a future, just to feel loved by someone would be wonderful!

Oh God, let me have a romance!

Silent prayers and wishes echoed within Minami's heart.

Unintentionally made, yet this plea was overheard by the Matchmaking God sitting nearby.
