Chapter 78: The Demon Princess of the Gale!
"Wow, this is amazing! It's all about Shikibu!"
In the guild hall, Iria showed me the newspaper.
The newspaper from the day after the wedding featured Shikibu in her bridal attire on the front page.
It was a photo taken by Laura!
The headline was intriguing: "Demon Princess's Wedding! She's finally becoming a demon bride!"
In this world, the term "demon bride from a past life" held no meaning.
Shikibu seemed to rank highly among female adventurers every year, known as the "Gale Demon Princess."
The wedding of this Demon Princess Shikibu.
And a ceremony previously unheard of: a "wedding."
As news, it seemed flawless.
Moreover, Shikibu looked stunning in her bridal attire.
The content of the wedding was also well-written.
The article made everyone want to have a wedding.
However, it didn't provide the finer details.
There were testimonies from guild members, making it feel like a story full of imagination.
What caught my attention was the mention of the "Four Leaf Trading Company" managing the wedding.
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
From morning, it seemed Shikibu and Murasaki had been receiving non-stop messages.
Most of them were congratulatory, but there were unrelated messages too.
Especially Shikibu, Iria mentioned she had even received requests for equipment designs.
Looking at that photo, I could understand why people would want that.
The "Four Leaf Trading Company" was also in the spotlight, but we didn't have their contact information, so it seemed Shikibu and Murasaki were being contacted.
...Sorry for causing so much trouble.
"Did you come?"
Laura called from upstairs.
"Oh, and your photos are quite popular!"
"Of course, I take many photos for research purposes."
"That's true. The newspaper said our sales tripled at the last count, thanks to Shikibu."
"Definitely, it's all thanks to Shikibu."
"Right now, though, it's not the time to focus on that..."
For now, the name "Four Leaf Trading Company" was known.
For a while, rather than business matters, it would be better to prioritize accumulating skill points to avoid the risk of death, so let's not do anything.
On the contrary, it might add to the mysteriousness.
Especially since we don't plan on doing any specific business...
"Tact~"
Shikibu descended from above.
She looked incredibly exhausted.
"Hey!"
I greeted her for the time being.
"I can't take it anymore...," Shikibu sighed.
As I heard earlier, the messages kept coming in without end. I heard that it decreased a bit when it was conveyed not to contact the guild headquarters about this matter.
"Yesterday was heaven, today is hell," she said.
"That's my fault," I apologized.
"Really, when Tact takes action, troubles come along with it," Iria chimed in.
I wanted to completely deny it, but looking at Shikibu's face, I couldn't bring myself to say it...
