Sitting together inside of the church were the two managers. While Hibari was anxiously waiting for the festivities to start, Kuri was sleeping. Head tilted back, mouth open Kuri had been woken up extremely early in order to make it. Hoping to have some extra energy, he took a nap. However, this was interrupted by a smack.
Hibari:"Wake up! The girls are here!"
Kuri:"Uh, what? Fuutarou-kun, where did you get that hot dog?"
Ichika:"Still asleep?"
Yotsuba:"Hot dog?"
Nino:"We don't...like to talk about that."
Hibari:"Where are MAY and Miku-chan?"
Ichika:"Well…"
As the girls explained everything, Takeda, Tsubaki, Maeda and Matsui took a seat.
Tsubaki:"It's quite early, isn't it?"
Takeda:"We must always be as early as possible."
Maeda:"Don't overwork yourself, yeah?"
Matsui:"Yeah, yeah."
Tsubaki looked at her phone.
Tsubaki:"It's 11:30...Just 90 minutes left."
Takeda:"That Fuutarou, the groom should be here already! Taking photos with the guests, doing interviews, drinking some wine, talking about blah blah blah…"
Maeda:"I'm not gonna have to hear his prattling for an hour and a half, am I?"
Tsubaki:"Welcome to the party."
Maeda:"Ugh. I'm gonna go find some earmuffs. Can't have the baby absorb all the stupid."
Takeda:"Blah blah blah, I'm not stupid you are, blah blah blah."
Maeda:"Don't multitask your prattling and picking fights!"
Nearby, a car holding a group of five was almost there.
Shimoda:"Remember, be on your best behavior."
Rito:"We're not twelve."
Yae:"I just hope it's nice and quiet."
Takebayashi:"I would love to wear a wedding dress one day."
Sanada:"This will also be our first time seeing the quints since graduation, isn't it?"
Takebayashi:"I've seen Yotsuba and Ichika around, but not personally."
Rito:"It's gonna be awkward seeing their father there, huh?"
Yae:"Perhaps, but I was thinking about another person."
Sanada:"That man's brother…"
Shimoda:"Will it be that weird seeing him?"
Takebayashi:"It's more like...He won't stop spoiling us. It's a little creepy."
The other three nodded in agreement as Shimoda kept driving in confusion. On another side, a certain lawyer sneezed.
Irigaku:"Ah, it's a good thing I wasn't driving. Wonder if it's my brother talking about me again."
"People who end up behind bars for many years tend to curse those that put them there."
Irigaku:"Well, if that's true, then today we'll be free from any bad vibes."
Another victim of traffic was Ichika's producer, Oda and his daughter Kiku, riding together with the remainder of Ichika's band.
Oda:"Can't do it any other way, you kids have to carry the car."
"Ehh!?"
Kiku:"Traffic is always a pain."
And finally, a retired butler was contemplating his options while in traffic.
Ebata:"I could do the sideways trick, but that might not be the best option considering my special passenger…"
As everyone got closer, Raiha was on the phone.
Raiha:"Hey, dad. Grandpa and grandma just got there. They'll be waiting for us."
Isanari:"Good. I think I see Itsuki-chan's car."
Raiha:"Great, let's go! We don't have much time before the vows!"
As Isanari opened the door, Raiha grabbed Fuutarou's suit and ring box.
Raiha:"Honestly, big bro."
The two met Itsuki as she called out to them. Once they got in the car, Isanari looked at the time.
Isanari:"Are we sure we can make it in time?"
Itsuki:"Don't underestimate my ability."
…
Yotsuba:"Say, why did you send Itsuki to pick them up? Didn't she only recently get her license?"
Ichika:"Well, let's just say there's a reason we bought that car here instead of renting it."
Nino:"Don't tell me…"
Ichika:"I suppose the speed limit will be broken after all."
...
Itsuki:"Ichika gave me a detailed map of places with the least traffic...Hehe."
Isanari:"Um, why are you laughing like-"
Isanari's eyes almost left his head as the car went at top speed almost immediately. As if ignoring every sign on the road, Itsuki pushed her foot towards the acceleration petal with every bit of strength she could.
Itsuki:"Hang on tight!"
Isanari:"You're supposed to say that before you start!"
Raiha:"Hahahaha!"
Isanari:"Raiha! Make sure the seatbelt is on!"
…
12:30 PM
Maruo was finally making progress. The jam seemed to have gotten better and he could go into a less cluttered street. Here, he was able to gain speed once again.
Maruo:[Time is almost out. I can't afford to be late.]
In the back, Miku was pushing on Fuutarou's cheek with her finger.
Miku:"You can tell me. Just say you forgot it, I won't be mad."
Fuutarou:"I don't know what you're talking about."
Miku:"Your pride won't get you anywhere. I know you're nervous."
Fuutarou pulled on both of her cheeks in retaliation.
Fuutarou:"You're more nervous than I am."
Miku:"I know dat."
Miku moved his hands away.
Miku:"We're both nervous. That's why it's both of our jobs to get used to each other as much as we can."
Fuutarou blushed.
Miku:"The blushes can stay, they make you look cute."
Fuutarou:"Says the queen of blushes."
Maruo groaned before speeding up.
…
Isanari felt sick. No, not because of the wedding, but because his stomach had been turned inside out more in that car ride than in his entire life.
Isanari:"Oh, man. Yep, good thing I didn't eat that much."
Raiha:"That was a lot of fun! Like a roller coaster!"
Itsuki:"Phew, that was a good time. Ichika told me I could go all out on coming here, so I did!"
Isanari:"Don't...try to sound innocent."
As Isanari died, Raiha dragged him inside.
Raiha:"Stop being a drama queen. By the way, are you staying out here, Itsuki-chan?"
Itsuki:"Yep, you go on ahead. I have to go to the back door"
Inside the church, three sisters had gotten the call.
Nino:"Itsuki's here."
Yotsuba:"Then let's go!"
Ichika:"We have to greet them well!"
The three came outside to the back of the church to see Itsuki there and lined up together.
Ichika:"We can only hope they make it on time."
Itsuki:"It would be a shame…"
Yotsuba:"If they don't we could always stall for time by wearing some of the leftover dresses."
Nino:"Yotsuba, that's the dumbest thing I've ever heard."
Yotsuba:"Kidding! What kind of idiot would do that?"
Itsuki:"In any case. The moment they get here, we'll congratulate them on their wedding!"
"Right!"
