Chapter 90 - The Event

With the close of the familia wedding games, the merry gang fought over the couple's clothes for their souvenirs. Afterwards, the exhausted, Ais and Bell quickly fell asleep while hugging.

The next morning, everyone left for Orario for the main wedding, which is the most anticipated outdoor celebration in anyone's memory. The victorious hero and his beautiful lady will tie the knot in front of the whole city with Ouranos performing the ceremony outside near the Babel. Everyone is welcomed and the Xenos are coming also. Just in case of an emergency, a several members of the Ganesha familia would stand guard at the dungeon entrance.

This wedding was far more fancy as Ais was in a beautiful white wedding dress and Bell in his fancy tux. Welf is the best man, but Lefiya is the maid of honor instead of Tiona did in the moon. The crowd was enormous and there were many signs for the Little Rookie and the Sword Princess. The ceremony took place on a platform built just for the occasion so everyone can view. Mirrors were deployed everywhere for even better views for everyone. From the moon, Hestia and Loki watch with tears in their eyes again.

In the early afternoon, Ais and Bell again said their vows flawlessly, and Welf and Lefiya performed their ring tasks without a hitch. After the ceremony, Ais and Bell got on Wiene who gave them a flyover for the crowd to see. Instead of landing, Ais and Bell went on ariel to fly to the top the Babel to wave to the crowd.

Afterwards, food was being served all over the area around the Babel. During the outdoor picnic banquet, there were a number of entertaining events. First, censored versions of Loki's recordings were played showing Bell proposing to Ais as well as Bell's practice proposal to Bete. Then there was also a censored version of the wedding games led by Finn and Riveria instead of the naughty Welf and Tiona.

Finn "Bell, please tell us the first time you met Ais"

Bell "Well I was in the 5th level as a new adventurer. Suddenly a minotaur attacked me and I thought I was dead. But suddenly this beautiful golden haired angel came and saved me."

Riveria "What did you think of Ais at that time"

Bell "I was completely in love and wanted to be worthy of standing next to her"

Finn "Ais, what did you think of Bell when you first met him"

Ais "I thought Bell looked like a cute white rabbit"

Riveria "Any feelings of love at that time"

Ais "I did not know what love is. But as I met Bell more, the feelings got stronger and I finally realized what those feelings meant"

Finn "Bell, when was your first date with Ais"

Bell "Well that is hard to say, but Ais showed me Rivira on my first trip to the 18th floor."

Riveria "Bell, tell us more about your trip to the 18th floor"

Bell "Well, I was with Lili and Welf on our first trip to the mid levels, and had to escape to the 18th level. We fainted when we reached the 18th floor, and Ais had to save us again."

Finn "Wow, how many times did Ais save you"

Bell "Once with the minotaur, once when I was ambushed by orcs, once on the 18th floor."

Riveria "Wow, you were saved by Ais so many times. How did you catch up to Ais"

Bell "I knew I wanted to catch up the 1st time I met Ais. That is what drove me to work hard"

Finn "Ais, when did you realize you loved Bell"

Ais "Thinking back, Bell was really shy when we first met. He kept running away from me when we ran into each other. I got very frustrated when that happened. I now realize what those feelings were, and that I was falling for Bell. But the event that was the most inspiring was when Bell defeated the black minotaur as a level 1. I was going to handle the black minotaur for him, but Bell insisted on being on his 1st adventure. He was totally overpowered by the black minotaur, but his will would not let him lose. I think that was the spark that did it for me."

Riveria "Tell us more about how Bell was running away from you"

Ais "When I saved Bell from the 1st minotaur, he ran away afterwards. When I saved Bell from the orcs, he also ran away. It was really frustrating when I was curious about him, but he kept on running away and ignoring me"

Finn "Bell, was the running away some type of strategy to get Ais interested in you"

Bell "No, I was just shy and embarrassed that I had to be saved."

Riveria "I told you how upset Ais was when you went away. She came home in a sad mood when the boy she liked ran away"

Bell "Yes, I understand that now, but I had no idea how she felt."

Finn "Ais, when did Bell stop running away"

Ais "Eina helped arranged a conversation. At that point, we started training together"

Riveria "Tell us about training with Bell"

Ais "Bell learned so quickly that it was hard to believe. He worked hard and practiced all the time. It seemed that he learned in one practice what I would learn in a week. Tiona also noticed the same results when we trained with Bell. As most of you know, Bell caught up in less than 1 year. It was an amazing incredible experience."

Finn "Bell, yes, we all remember how you became level 5 in 5 months and the hero who won the war in less than 1 year. Was this all because of Ais"

Bell "I worked hard because I loved Ais. Also all my friends and the need to protect Orario"

Riveria "Bell, what are your plans going forward"

Bell "Ais and I will continue to live in Orario at the Hestia home to build our family. We will continue to work as part of the Hestia familia to protect the city and patrol the dungeon. We will also work more to map all corners of the world to find new friends as well as deter potential dangers."

At that point, Ouranos and the other gods got up to cheer and thank Bell and Ais for their service to Orario.

Ouranos "Bell and Ais, we wish you the best health, success and happiness."

Hestia and Loki appeared in an image in the sky at that point.

Teary Hestia "Bell and Ais, you two mean so much to me and I want to wish you much happiness"

Teary Loki "Princess and Rookie, have a great Honeymoon. And we are all expecting the next generation of heroes from the 2 of you!"

Amidst the cheering from the crowd, the banquet was concluded. Bell and Ais went to say thanks to all their friends and headed out for their honeymoon...
