77.2 The Witch’s Wedding
What—now!?
Roze widens her eyes and stares at the priest.
Harij steps closer to Roze, who’s still stupefied watching the priest.
She’s surprised to find the handsome Harij at such a close range.
Then, he unveils her. The black veil is turned over her head.
Roze’s eyes, which are slightly wet with tears, are exposed.
Didn’t Harij prepares that veil for the exact purpose of Roze hiding her facial expressions!? He knows of the witch’s customs, right!?
Then, why is he unveiling her?
Roze can’t comprehend him at all…
Her brain is muddled, but she stays expressionless, therefore, Harij doesn’t notice anything.
Harij cups her cheek in his palm.
He might be confused why her cheek is a bit hard—when it’s in fact, due to her face becoming tense.
Harij’s thumb gently caresses Roze—due to the angle, it’s hidden from view.
No, no, no—Roze keeps repeating in her heart.
What confuses Roze the most at that moment is Harij.
She doesn’t know what’s going to happen—
—no, she doesn’t want to know what’s going to happen, she doesn’t even want to begin to comprehend it—she’s deliberately in denial, especially after realizing her limits.
Then, her face is lifted up as Harij’s face approaches.
The space between them is about to disappear!
Harij grabs Roze’s thin arm, who’s about to block his lips.
“Roze.”
…That’s the voice of a Gatekeeper of Hell right there, and not someone who’s about to get married.
Roze is about to crawl to the exit.
Roze understands that their solemn occasion requires strictness and grace, but there’s no helping it. There are things that are just impossible for some to do.
“—this is different, this isn’t like what I thought it was going to be!”
“How is this any different?”
Roze did tell Harij that she will compromise about the kiss of oath—but the situation exceeds Roze’s imagination!
“We, we’re in public!”
They are people who speak the language of earth! Who walk on the ground using two feet! What happened to chastity!?
Harij gives her a look of heartfelt pity.
“I forgot to tell you—the wedding vow kiss is usually done in public.”
“Is, is this really necessary!? It’s outright shameful!”
“Roze, I told you that you don’t have to. But you finally gave your consent—ever since that moment, everything has been decided.”
She can’t believe it.
When she heard that there was going to be a kiss in a wedding, she imagined the kiss would require the couple to move somewhere private, with only two of them…
No way, in public!?
She never dreamed she would be asked to perform such physical contact in front of the God they believe in.
“Are, are you sane…?”
“I am.”
She’s dizzy.
If it’s allowed, she wants to faint right there and then.
Roze is a witch—
—and witches honors the promises they make—
—and Roze made a promise to Harij.
Instead of dancing with Yashm in the ball, she would kiss Harij at the wedding.
She did this to herself.
“But, this, this is just…”
She looks at the priest, begging for salvation, and also the guests.
But everyone, except Tien, who’s holding his head, eyes Roze strangely.
It’s different from the usual contemptuous gazes they would rain upon the witch.
Their gazes are warm—as if they’re enduring laughing at an innocent girl whose face is dyed red.
“Eyes, your eyes!”
Roze turns towards all the attendees.
“All of you, close your eyes, please!”
All the attendees give their respect to the innocent bride and close their eyes.
Even the priest closes his eyes.
Roze lifts her chin for Harij.
Harij isn’t the slightest bit stupefied by his new wife, who is changing the progress of the ceremony—and instead, waits for her calmly.
Roze finally closes her eyes tightly.
Harij cups Roze’s cheeks, and embrace her waist.
Then—…
~fin.
***T/N: Me this entire chapter:
//Close her eyes in accordance to Roze’s plea//

The lack of a kiss disappointed me yet again T-T Thank you for translating this translator sama and thank you author sama for writing this.
Thanks for the translation, your comments at the end where so funny and some were exactly what i was thinking that i enjoined the story a lot more. Sadly, the ending stooped at the worst moment, i wanted to heard about their married life, but oh well.
WAIT I KNOW I’M LATE BUT IS THIS THE END!? NOOOOO I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!! Also in the NovelUpdate, it’s said that the LN is still ongoing? Does that mean I can still cling to hope?

Hi, it’s really unfortunate that there aren’t news about a 3rd arc of this story yet, hopefully; but I saw on mangadex the manga adaptation so I just going to drop this piece of news here for those who might be interested ?
I don’t think there would be an arc 3 haha.

Seems to be the end of this novel. Author didnt mention anything on her Twitter that she will continue. Either way, this has been a good novel so I am glad either way.
She has a twitter?!?!?!
Not only Twitter, she has a website as well. Seems like this novel will get a manga adaptation soon and it will be drawn by the same mangaka who is drawing for another WN’s adaptation “Magical Devices Craftsman Dahlia Won’t Hang Her Head Down Anymore”.

Also translator and gabe, I loved reading your comment exchanges on all these past chapters it was like two stories in one!
Thanks for translating this wonderful light novel, you did a great job.
I’m astonished, this cannot be the end, what a crazy cliffhanger for us yisus christ!!! But I must admit that Roze’s innocent is one of the most hilarious things I’ve read. Thanks for the chapter! ? Take care ☕ I hope the 3rd Arc will be updated soon ??
WAIT———-WAIT———WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IS THIS REALLY THE END????!!!!!! NANI???!!!!!! COMMANDER THIS IS LIKE GETTING AMBUSHED AND KILLED RIGHT OFF THE BAT IN DUO SHOWDOWN!!!!!!!!!!
“All the attendees give their respect to the innocent bride and close their eyes.”
WAIT!!!!!! THIS IS NOT THE TIME TO CLOSE YOUR EYES!!!!!! THE RIGHT MOVE SHOULD BE TO TAKE OUT YOUR VIDEO RECORDERS WHILE PRETENDING YOU ARE CLOSING YOUR EYES BUT YOU ARE ACTUALLY BUENING THIS HISTORICAL MOMENT IN YOUR MEMORIES.
Honestly I think I played too much……even though I am looking at words here, I can see someone shooting ammos at the screen….LOL
I dont kknnnnoooow the author hasn’t updated since marrrch
So all we can do is be like Hermione and Harry?????

Yeah. It took 6 months for the author to make second arc.
Lets wait half a year.
On another note, Jill returns next month.
At least we have something to look forward to instead of waitng for Tia updates just to diss it
THE FUCKING ARC 3-+
I think the pokemon you played before is a fan made one hence the plant something pokemon evolving into a magikarp…….they’ve got weird pokemons mixed in like this Riolu whose description says its a weedle and the Brothers John and Jay(more like Gay) who are described to be married for 50 years.
I have to admit ive only played pokemon once hahaha
How come Tia gets an Arc 3 while my darling Roze still doesn’t have one…….everybody wants to see Roze and Harij’s newly wed life but we still can’t……..is it because now that they are married Harij’s restraint is removed and its going to be bad for kids reading it????? I am getting worried about Roze she was already that flustered over a kiss, what more when they fulfill the duties of husband and wife?????
BTW, I found Tia’s pokemon counterpart:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FGxRBWbFnMvsEln_eKtmRLDI3Km30DjB/view?usp=drivesdk
HEYYY IT CAN CUT GRASSES. WHAT CAN TIA DO HUH
Back when i am a child and my plant something pokemon evolved to a magikarp, i who dont know anything praised and worshipped it like the blood god
She can cut a person’s life span into half just from the mere misfortune of meeting her (ex. Fern, readers who are getting high blood pressure because of her)
ARE YOU SURE YOU WERE PLAYING POKEMON????? WHY DID A PLANT SOMETHING POKEMON EVOLVE INTO A MAGIKARP????? MAGIKARP IS A BASE POKEMON RIGHT????? THEN IT EVOLVES TO GYARADOS RIGHT?????
I DUNNO. LEMME HAVE A FLASHBACK.
THE BASE FORM IS AKIN TO TULIP.
The pokemon you played did it have some bad descriptions like this one:

Or this one:

R RIOLU?
SHARINA I CHOSE YOU
Hahaha…too bad it seems you also got duped by a fake one
I had always liked playing pokemon that were made for gameboy consoles cause I never had one……. I remember asking my Mom for a gameboy as a birthday present…..when my birthday came I was excited because I received a small rectangular gift the size of a gameboy colored but when I opened it it was a freakin brick game and not a gameboy…..LOL…that is why I satisfy myself by playing pokemon thru emulators……
Ahahaa nowaday phone allow us to play everythiiin. Bck then im super proud of the nds game i collected in my pc.
What is ur phone Gabe? Samsung?
Yup the A10 one….I just bought it since my old phone the galaxy v one was getting wonky (actually already wonky and some may even say that it has gone beyond wonky but my standards says it only a little wonky)
Galaxy v???? Never heard of that hahahaha. I actually want a 6,8 inch screen size phone… The larger the better yea
The samsung galaxy v is a pretty old model I got mine when I was in 2nd year of college from my dad who got it when I was around 2nd year in highschool……the a10 if I am not mistaken has 6 inches of screen it makes my old phone look like a little baby, a10 is pretty cheap it just cost me around 100~130 USD compared to other phone models. Although Samsung downgraded some features for the a10 to make it more affordable overall I still think it’s good.
Hooo… If i buy phone i always overcomplicate things and overthink, cuz i want phone that would not only last me five years but also keep me proud…
For phones I always look at the price and the durability. I am fine no matter what features it has as long as I can use it to make calls and send messages……after all phones are made to make calls and send messages.
I m currently playing. But I keep failing to join match cuz there is just not enough player
I can’t play anymore one of my eye is alresdy closrd and the other is already half closed……I don’t think I can focus on the game anymore
