Menma and Hashirama, what happened in Teyvat

A relationship can last for a long time, even as long as more than ten years, but it still fails to successfully narrow the distance between two hearts.

A relationship can also be very short, as short as just half a day, and two people are only one step away from officially entering the marriage hall.

……

……

……

The roads in Mondstadt are very long, so long that if you put them end to end, you could circle Mondstadt several times.

The roads in Mondstadt were also very short, so short that people holding wedding parades on them had already reached the end.

That’s right, at this moment, the wedding procession has already passed all the planned routes and is about to arrive at the final destination of the journey - the West Wind Cathedral.

Feeling the cheers and blessings for herself and Diluk outside the carriage gradually becoming quieter, Qin, who was nestled in Diluk's arms, suddenly woke up from a dream and slowly sat up.

For her, this parade was like a fleeting moment, and it came to an end in the blink of an eye. After all, happy moments are always short, even if this happiness is followed by another greater happiness.

But from another perspective, this journey seemed like a dream, and the years were peaceful. In this dream, she could put aside all the distractions in her heart, just quietly leaning on Diluk, leaning on her lover, enjoying this seemingly eternal happiness.

However, dreams eventually end. Qin had no objection to this. After all, compared to the peace in dreams, she would rather face reality and face the lover who was about to tie the knot with her and enter the marriage palace.

As the overall speed of the motorcade slowed down visibly, the entire team finally stopped at the open space in front of the West Wind Cathedral. Following the carriage, the honor guards, which were composed of the servants of the Leggenfend family and the enthusiastic citizens who volunteered, consciously walked to both sides of the open space, continued to hold the flags, bouquets and other items in their hands, and dutifully sent the last blessing to the two newlyweds.

"The carriage has reached its destination, Master Diluc, Captain Qin." After getting down from his seat, Charles came to the back seat of the carriage and slowly lifted the translucent gauze curtain at the door of the carriage. "Please come in, both of you."

"Okay, thank you, old buddy." Diluk smiled and nodded to Charles, then gently took Jean's hand, "Jin, let's go."

"Um..." Qin agreed to him in a barely perceptible voice, took out a white veil worn by brides at weddings and put it on her face. Then she watched Diluk get out of the car first, and then he picked her up from the car by hugging her around the waist.

Just like when she got on the carriage, at this height, Qin could walk down by herself without any problem. But today, she just wanted to be carried down the carriage by her husband's strong arms like a good wife.

After taking the harp, Diluk struggled a little, and finally did something that surprised everyone present, including himself.

He did not put the piano on the ground, but changed his action, replacing the waist hug with a princess hug. Then, he held the piano and started walking towards the door of West Wind Cathedral.

After a brief silence...

"Eh eh eh eh eh eh eh?!!!"

"OO ...

The former was Qin's panicked murmur, while the latter was the shocked screams of all the onlookers. Even Klips and Kaia, who got off the carriage at the back, widened their eyes when they saw this scene, and then showed a look of relief.

When it comes to relationships, it is always a good thing if a dumb guy can be more open-minded, especially when it comes to relationships between men and women who are willing to do so.

Although it is not uncommon in Mondstadt for a man to walk into the church and marry the woman who is about to become his wife in a princess hug, it is still easy to be shocked when the protagonists are replaced by the two of them... or to be more precise, when the male protagonist is replaced by Diluk, it is still easy to be shocked.

After all... Master Diluk's aloof personality was well known to almost everyone in Mondstadt. A man like him could actually behave in a way that only those who were open-minded could do. In the minds of the onlookers, this was like a heavy bomb that was thrown right at them.

Hearing the surprised and delighted shouts from the people around him, even without turning around to look at their faces, Diluk could guess what their reactions were at the moment.

This behavior is indeed a bit inconsistent with his previous personality. But firstly, he just wanted to better express his love for Jean and his serious and responsible attitude. Secondly, he also wanted to say goodbye to the past self who was obsessed with revenge on the Fatui and ignored all the warmth around him through this wedding. That's why he made this choice.

As for the fact that doing so would make me the focus of the whole place... Never mind, just bear with it! Anyway, I am the male protagonist of this wedding today, so it is normal to attract attention, and this is not a big deal.

“Di…Diluk…”

However, even though Diluk had forced herself to adapt, Jean still couldn't get over the feeling. After all, she was the kind of person who was extremely shy about this kind of thing. Even though she had prepared herself mentally in other aspects, she was suddenly picked up like a princess in front of so many people by Diluk, and all her psychological defenses collapsed immediately.

"Don't be afraid, Jean." Diluk could naturally see Jean's condition, so he whispered to comfort her, "Many newlyweds do this, don't worry too much."

"But...but..."

"Today, the two of us are destined to be the focus of the whole audience. I have already adapted to this." Diluk suddenly smiled and said in a gentle and persuasive manner, "You are a strong acting leader. How can you back down at this time?"

"Ah..." Qin's expression changed again and again, and finally she breathed a sigh of relief, "You're right, I can't back down..."

Even so, Qin still couldn't let go. In the end, she simply buried her face in Diluk's chest, ignoring everything around her, trying to comfort herself in this way.

But even though she was deceiving herself, the effect was surprisingly good - leaning on her lover's hot chest and listening to his strong heartbeat, Qin's panicked and uneasy heart actually slowly calmed down.

"The embrace of a lover can increase your courage and also become your warm cradle." Wendy sighed as she watched this scene from the rooftop of West Wind Cathedral. "This is absolutely true."

"Yeah, I'm a little envious." Menma nodded, "Okay, we should go down too."

"Yeah." Wendy nodded, and then suddenly came close to Menma with a gossipy look on her face, "By the way...how are your preparations going?"

"It's very simple. After all, this kind of thing is a piece of cake for me." Menma said, "As for the troublesome part, it's nothing more than familiarizing yourself with the process."

"That's good, that's good." Wendy smiled. "No matter what, you are so reassuring."

"You've said this many times. But I love to hear it."

The two chatted and laughed as they flew back into the church through the window and began to find their own seats to sit down. After waiting for Diluk and Qin to come in, the final steps of the wedding could be carried out.

……

……

……

At the entrance of the church, Diluk had already walked here with Jean in his arms. After Menma left, the two knights, Otto and Aram, who had been guarding the entrance, immediately helped open the door of the church, and Diluk walked in directly.

Inside the church, the two rows of benches on both sides of the central road were already filled with guests, all of whom had a close relationship with Diluk or Qin.

Menma, Hashirama, Sora, and Paimon, who are visitors from another world and heroes of Mondstadt; Lisa, Klee, Eula, Amber, Albedo, Nymph, and other knight captains or key personnel within the Knights; Kaeya, who just came in with Cripps and Charles; Raize, Noelle, Sucrose, Timaus, and others who have close relationships with the above people; and the leaders of the Mondstadt Chamber of Commerce who have a say...

Of course, there is also Wendy, who is the god of wind but is unwilling to reveal his identity and only considers himself a bard and friend of everyone, and Brize, who was dragged by him to experience the atmosphere of a Mondstadt noble wedding in this era.

In addition to the above people, Barbara had already left home and came here. However, as a priest of the West Wind Church and an idol of Mondstadt, she did not receive the task of hosting the wedding, but only sat here as a guest of the bride's relatives.

As for the host...it's someone else.

Arriving at the church, under the gaze of all the familiar guests, Diluk finally put down the piano in his arms. Then, he took the piano, whose face was still a little feverish, and walked forward step by step on the red carpet in the middle of the road.

Although she was extremely shy, the veil was able to alleviate her embarrassment to some extent. In order to avoid being discovered by others, Qin obediently let Diluk lead her hand and walked forward, while she began to clear all her thoughts in her heart until she was completely back to normal.

After all, as the acting head of the group and the heroine of this wedding, she had to act like a heroine. What would it look like if she kept being shy?

Then, Qin's steps gradually became lighter, no longer just being led by Diluk. Finally, they walked past all the guests and came to the front of the venue.

Behind a small platform stood a priest, who was the host of the wedding.

Although the priest was unfamiliar to everyone present, including Barbara who was an insider of the West Wind Church, no one made it public. Even though many people had doubts about it, they did not make it public after being warned by a few insiders.

Before Diluc and Qin entered the room, the priest had already started the process and introduced the wedding to all the guests. Although since the guests present were all acquaintances, it was actually the same without saying it, but as a priest presiding over the wedding, he still had to do the necessary steps.

Now that the two had walked in front of him, the priest's speech changed from one directed at the guests to one directed at the two of them.

"Under the witness of the wind god Barbatos, the two newlyweds are getting married and will soon become a happy couple." Looking at the two, the priest smiled and said, "On this special day, please invite all the guests and friends present to witness the marriage of the newlyweds.

Mr. Diluc Leggenfend, are you willing to accept Ms. Jean Gunnhild as your wife and enter into a marriage contract with her? Whether in sickness or in health, or for any other reason, you will always love her, protect her, respect her, accept everything about her, and always remain loyal to her until the end of your life? "

After hearing this speech, everyone except Menma and Hashirama turned their attention from the two newlyweds to the priest. The reason was that although they had heard many speeches from priests or pastors when they presided over weddings before, including Wendy who had lived for thousands of years and Barbara who had also served in this position, none of them seemed to have as much depth as this priest's speech.
