Chapter 211: The Thing That We Didn't Think About...
Everyone: “…”
Celia: “Eh? Why are you all so silent now?” She asked with a confused head tilt.
Everyone: “…”
Luckily, any of us could make the invitations now; so, while it’ll still take a while, it won’t be literal years of work for Runeth to do alone. And those in our group often do like there being something for them to help out with. No one’s SN Stat is above 30%, after all.
Unfortunately, Celia just so happened to drench our excitement from this into…nothing. Celia is, of course, the type of person who tends to not be even slightly selfish, despite how we’ve tried to make her ask for more from us. My wife presented four designs just now; two sets of male/female clothing for Mortals, and another two sets of male/female clothing for Higher Beings. She asked us to pick from these designs, which will be the standard dress code for those outside our family.
Nia: “Celia, giving away such high quality clothing is…a bit extreme, is it not?” She asked with a forced smile.
Celia: “I don’t think it is. Originally, I was just going to give everyone Storage Rings full of useful items, but I found that to not be enough.” She denied with an oddly serious tone.
Ria: “Special clothes, of your design, and goodie bags that’d make even a trillionaire jealous? Dear, this would…take too long to prepare all that; it’d delay the wedding by months.” She lectured with a stern tone.
Guanyu: “Celia has already done the work.” She informed with her eyes closed.
Ria and Nia: “…”
Celia: “Yep, I have, indeed. Which means that…they’ll be a very large number of clothing that doesn’t get used; though that isn’t something I found annoying. I just want everyone involved to be as happy as possible.” She added with a bright smile.
What…when the hell did she find the time to even do this? Celia is supposed to be on an extended, forced break; one which we hope will last for years. She didn’t really rest during the 100-year time-skip, you see. Don’t tell me…
Guanyu: “That’s right; due to the distraction and excitement of the ceremony, Celia wasn’t being watched properly. Thusly, my dearest was free to work as she pleased.” She informed with a haughty laugh.
Vulely: “Impossible! I was keeping sight of her this entire time, Guanyu. She was…reading a book in her room before coming here. Celia couldn’t have prepared all this on her way to tearoom!!!” I replied with a confident and confused tone.
Celia: “…”
Guanyu: “Ah, I was not blaming any of you for this, nor judging you as lazy. Rather, if just one of our group, besides me, took note of Mana within the estate, they’d realize what Celia did to circumvent her break.” She clarified with a praising tone, actually happy that her wife is so clever.
Nemu: “Celia figured out how to pause time, at no consequences to herself, huh?” She presumed with a confident, yet mostly deadpan tone and expression.
Everyone: “(~OAO)”
