The Hero Took Everything from Me, So I Partied with the Hero's Mother!

Chapter 216: Farewell

Main Character's POV

The wedding day finally arrived.

Due to adult circumstances, we decided to have Zect and the others first.

Now, after seeing them all, I asked as officiant, "Zect, Marin, Luna, Lida, Maria, Mel, do you vow to love and respect each other, in sickness and in health, in wealth and in poverty, until death do you part?"

Zect is wearing a tuxedo and the others are in wedding dresses.

But the person who who officiates is me.

""""""I swear"""""" Zect and the other said, their voice confident and unwavering.

"Well then, the groom and the bride are now bound together... since you swore to each other, never separate, okay?" I warned. "If you do, I won't recognize you."

"Cere— Ceres-sama, do you have any other words to say?" Zect asked.

"Let me think..." I put my hand on my chin. "Zect, you may seem frivolous and do stupid things, but you're a good guy at heart. If you're ever really in trouble, I'll help you too... so everyone, please support him. I'm counting on you."

The five girls nodded, their eyes shining with gratitude. """""yes"""""

"Hey... it's me who's taking care of them," Zect interjected.

"Well, yeah, you've become a better man lately... Hero, that's a title that really suits you now," I look at Zect with warm look. "Sorry, I couldn't think of a better greeting... So please forgive me for this. Marin, Luna too... thank you for supporting Zect. I think that Lida, Maria, and Mel will probably cause trouble again, so I'm counting on you two. Everyone... they're all good people at heart."

""Yes,"" Marin and Luna chorused.

"Lida, Maria, Mel... be happy with Zect," I said, her voice filled with emotion.

"""Yes.""" Lida, Maria, and Mel said, determined.

"Well then... do your best."

"""Yes.""" they said it once again.

"Hey... Ceres.... why are you crying?" Zect asked, concerned.

"Don't blame me, my childhood friend is married now that you all have grown up..."

"Well, it's nice that you feel that way about us... but this is being broadcast live around the world," Zect reminded.

"Don't mind me... I'll be rooting for you all the way, so be happy."

""""""yes"""""" everyone said, smiling through their tears.

Now, Zect's wedding ended triumphantly.

Honestly, I didn't expect to suddenly be given this role, especially with the Pope present...

"Well, with Ishtas-sama and Ceres-sama here... It's not good enough for me to do that..." The Demon Lord said, and everyone, including the other nobles, declined the offer... how terrible.

Even Bauer-sama and the Dragon tribe fled...

Despite all this, I did my best... right?

* * *

As the afternoon approached, it was now my turn.

I left the wedding arrangements to Ishtas.

She's already my wife... it's kind of ridiculous to call her with "sama" now...

And Shizuko, Haruka, Misaki, Sayo... they all looked so beautiful.

Mariane, Frey, and Cecilia too, they are also princesses and saints of various countries... they were breathtaking to behold.

As my attention shifted to them, Shizuko suddenly asked with curiosity, "Ceres-kun, I never thought I'd be wearing a wedding dress at this age... what do you think?"

"It's a little embarrassing, Ceres, don't you think?" Haruka asked too, her voice soft and clear.

"Ceres-chan... what do you think?" Misaki chimed in.

Then, Sayo added, her voice sweet and gentle, "Ceres-san... it's a little embarrassing."

I took a moment to admire everyone beauty before responding "Everyone looks beautiful... I can't help but be amazed."

But then, Mariane's voice drew my attention again, "Ceres-sama, what about me?"

"What do you think?" Frey also also asked.

Finally, it was Cecilia's turn to ask, "How do I look?"

I looked at them with admiration, "You look so beautiful, it's mesmerizing."

I have more people than Zect... I can't really be called a "harem guy" anymore.

But Ishtas hasn't come yet...

I wonder what's wrong...

As I thought so, a large image appeared in the sky.

'Everyone, thank you all for celebrating the marriage of myself, Ceres, and his concubine. Well, since the marriage is bound to me, the goddess, rest assured that we will be 'happy'... Also, Ceres has a greeting for all of you... So I'm going to change now.'

As the image of Ishtas vanished, I took her place. 'Everyone, don't you think the world has become much more peaceful now? That's what I think.'

The surroundings began to stir.

'The Pope and the Demon King have become tea-drinking friends, and they enjoy playing chess in the same country. The Demon King also recruits the Hero (Yuusha) to be one of his Four Heavenly Kings... Even we greet demons and intelligent demons in the forest... It is really unthinkable in the past... so, we no longer need 'Divine Dragons' in this world. That's why I, no, we have decided to leave this world.'

As the gravity of my announcement sunk in, Zect spoke up, "Ceres... you..."

'Zect... I want you to accept it, haven't you heard back from the Four Heavenly Kings yet? I'll leave the majority of my fortune behind, so do your best as the 'Second Kohane King'.'

Zect protested, "Hey!"

'Pope Emeritus Rothman, Pope Romalis, Luciferd the Demon King, King Zammarck IV, Emperor Sizer, I know he's a young man, but he's a good guy at heart, will you take care of him?' I asked each leader in turn.

"As a request from God, there is no way I, Rothman, could refuse," Pope Emeritus Rothman spoke up.

"I, Romalis, will take good care of him," Pope Romalis spoke, with a confident voice.

“Ceres-sama… is our Great Demon King, and God, that wish surely,” Luciferd the Demon King said with conviction.

"If it's all right with me..." King Zammarck IV replied.

"I accept," Emperor Sizer agreed.

'I'm relieved now... please take care of him...'

Zect was confused by the exchange, and his voice reflected it. "Hey, Ceres...what does that mean?"

'You're such an idiot~ Zect-kun wanted to become a king, right? You said so when we traveled together in the past...'

Zect nodded, remembering. "Yes, that's right."

'So...' I continued with a gentle voice. 'Although there were various obstacles along the way, I think Zect now has what it takes to be a king... so I'll let you have it... let you become one.'

"Ceres... why are you..." Zect's voice trailed off, still confused.

'Look, you know, I'm a divine dragon, and the goddess Ishtas is among the wedding party. It's problematic for me to stay in the human world like this...so we talked it over and decided to leave together...will you accept me as your best friend?'

"No... now that we're friends again, I want to have more drinks with you."

'Zect... we're still best friends, that's what you once said to me when I left the party... will you accept?'

"Okay I'll take you up on that, thanks Ceres," Zect nodded.

'Oh, good luck for you.' Then, I turn to the girls. 'Lida, Maria, Mel... you're going to have to support Zect for the rest of your life.'

The three replied in unison. "Alright, I'll do my best." "Yeah, leave it to me." "Okay, I'll do my best."

'Luna, Marin... thank you for supporting Zect... it's not necessary in these peaceful times, but I can't give you any major blessings, but I can give you a small 'blessing'... well, the other brides have three main jobs, so you should have this much... Here.'

Luna and Marin's voices were filled with gratitude. "Thank you." "Thank you very much."

And with that, I say my final words. 'Well then, everyone... it was fun... goodbye.'

And so we disappeared from the world.

This is the end of a major story milestone in the story of the original.
