Valkyrie Flavor Tasting Guide

It's still human voices.

A classic approach is to use specific actions as instructions to make the other person make specific sounds; once trained, this is sufficient.

As for how this was done—well, that's a question for Cocolia and the raven, who are now hanging there as musical instruments.

They have received a lot of training.

This gives the wedding march a slightly eerie feel, but also adds a unique flavor.

This makes everyone increasingly eager for the official start of the wedding.

After all, one can imagine it just by looking at the guests who are immersed in the fragrance of flowers and the music.

The two "nominal" protagonists of today's wedding—

"Groom" Kiana (Chongchong) and "Bride" Mei.

Finally, slowly, I stepped onto that sacred "path of flowers" that leads to both "happiness" and "degradation".

Accompanying the two women as they entered were neither their "father" nor their "elders".

After all, it wouldn't be appropriate to invite those two over, would it? Their previous actions of asking their father-in-law for advice on how to win over their "same-position" were already outrageous enough.

Moreover, although it can be considered a rehearsal for the formal wedding in some sense, the content...

Putting aside the possibility of losing their legs and getting broken, this content shouldn't be shown to them or even understood.

So the guests were two "special family members" who, from any angle, seemed so "natural," yet exuded an eeriness and incongruity.

Beside the groom Kiana was someone with the same long, snow-white hair and the same deep blue eyes, who, from any angle, was—no, was practically the "original" version...

—Her "older sister", "Kiana".

Beside the bride Mei was Dr. "Mei," who had the same long purple hair and purple eyes, but whose temperament and behavior were completely different from Mei's, and who was much more troublesome than the other person with the same name in this world.

Because Theresa and Karen were already in the bridesmaids' group...

Therefore, the role of "priest" at today's wedding naturally fell to the shoulders of the "disciplined nun"—Aponia—who maintained a holy smile throughout, seemingly detached from worldly affairs.

Suddenly, she found herself standing in the very center of the altar.

Beneath the nun's robes, which exuded an aura of asceticism and holiness, lay the garments covering the full, round melons.

A silver chain was attached to it, from which hung two sparkling diamond rings, symbolizing an "eternal covenant"...their wedding rings.

As the "nominal" newlyweds slowly walked onto the altar, the real "protagonist"—Lu Mo—finally made his official entrance from the position that originally belonged to the high hall.

He strolled leisurely to the "priest," who also wore a solemn expression.

Then, he reached out his hands, which were about to commit evil, and deftly removed the two "wedding rings" that did not belong to him, one on each side.

“Alright,” he said, holding the two cold rings in his palm, examining them closely, a wicked smile spreading across his face, “Now…”

"—We can begin."

He didn't rush to return the ring to the two "newlyweds" who were looking at him with "expectation."

Because Aponia's work was not limited to being a priest.

Before serving as the priest at the wedding, she was Lu Mo's woman.

Until Lu Mo, in an unquestionable tone, gave her a new "instruction".

"—Command them to begin the oath."

A smile, almost a mixture of helplessness and indulgence, appeared on Aponia's face, like that of a saint.

She turned around and, in her soothing and hypnotic tone, posed that sacred question, a question symbolizing "eternity," to the "groom" before her.

“Kiana Kaslana,” her voice was like the most ancient hymn, “are you… willing to take Raiden Mei into a sacred marriage, regardless of…”

however……

Before she could even finish reciting her ceremonial words—

"I don't want to!"

A crisp, resolute, and decisive declaration abruptly interrupted what should have been a sacred "ritual."

It's Kiana.

Her once "affectionate" and "dignified" pretty face was instantly replaced by an expression of contempt, disgust, and disdain.

She looked at Mei, the "bride" in front of her, who also looked "shocked" and "astonished," and her tone was full of undisguised sarcasm.

"To become partners with a boring woman who can only cook and also flirts with Alicia?"

"Hmph, don't joke around."

As she spoke, she turned around and, amidst a chorus of gasps and shock, slowly knelt down before the only "man" who was watching her "wonderful performance" with amusement.

“I… Kiana Kaslana, the only one to whom I truly and unreservedly offer my body, my soul, everything I have…”

Her voice suddenly became filled with fervor and humility, and her deep blue eyes were completely occupied by a morbid obsession that could melt away everything in the world.

"—You're the only one..."

"—My most beloved master, Lord Lu Mo!"

On the other side, Mei, the seemingly "abandoned" and fragile "bride," also did something that no one found strange.

Instead of showing the slightest sadness or anger, she actually...

Similarly, quite naturally, she slowly knelt down in Lu Mo's direction.

“Yes, Kiana is right…” A captivating, shy smile, symbolizing “liberation” and “happiness,” appeared on her face. “Only… a true man as strong and gentle as Master deserves… a woman like us.”

"A boring woman like Mei, who can only cook..."

"Only by becoming your weapon can one... find the meaning and value of their own existence."

"very good."

Lu Mo toyed with the two "certificates" in his hand that symbolized absolute ownership, a smile of immense satisfaction and possessiveness spreading across his face.

He didn't rush to show further favor to the two "playthings" in front of him who had already completely submitted.

Instead, he slowly turned around and cast a slightly authoritative gaze at the "priest" who had maintained a calm smile throughout.

Aponia understood perfectly.

She walked over to the two "newcomers" who were still kneeling on the ground.

In her soothing, hypnotic voice, as gentle as a hymn, she announced:

"Since the 'newcomers' have made the best choice they could have made..."

"So next, it should be..."

"—The moment has come to offer your one and only master the oath of eternal, absolute... loyalty."

The moment the words fell, Kiana and Mei's bodies trembled violently at the same time, like two exquisite marionettes controlled by invisible threads.

Of course, as the Herrscher of the End and the Herrscher of Origin, they are naturally not subject to Aponia's control.

It was merely using Aponia's power to slightly influence her own emotions.

She raised her head, and in those eyes that were also filled with infatuation and fervor, there was no longer any struggle of "self," only the purest and most extreme worship and awe for the man in front of her.

“I… Kiana Kaslana…”

"I... Raiden Mei..."

Two extremely humble and devout, charming female voices rang out simultaneously in the incredibly sacred wedding venue.

"Here, I offer my most sincere oath to my one and only, supreme master—Lord Lu Mo."

"My body is your plaything."

"My will is your servant."

"My soul is your collection."

"From this day forward, until the end of eternity..."

Everything I have will exist solely for you.

"Everything I have will be dedicated to you alone."

When the last, sacrificial, humble vow slowly drifted out from their slightly trembling lips.

Lu Mo, who had been standing aside watching everything with a smile, finally took another step.

He didn't go to the "groom" who was staring at him with fervor, but went straight to the "bride" who was still covered by a white veil symbolizing purity and mystery.

He did not use his hands to lift the ceremonial veil.

Instead, with Aponia's assistance and with an irresistible force, she slowly...—lifted up that "obstacle" that concealed her stunning beauty.

As Lu Mo slowly lifted the white veil, which symbolized the last vestige of her composure, in a manner filled with humiliation and possessiveness, he revealed the exquisitely beautiful face beneath, already stained red.

Mei and Kiana almost turned into Ahei because of Lu Mo's actions at this moment.

At this moment, the atmosphere of the entire wedding venue was completely pushed to its most unrestrained (self-governed) state.

Below the stage, the expressions on the faces of the nearly one hundred stunningly beautiful "guests," who also harbored their own ulterior motives, were even more fascinating.

"Oh dear... really," Himeko said, resting her chin on her hand with a satisfied smile that spoke of someone who had been there.

"These two little ones have finally...grown up." Her voice carried a faint sigh and envy that only her few "comrades" could understand.

Even though she is married to Lu Mo, she still has a strong opinion about being single at an older age.

Besides, even if she wanted to play this kind of wedding-style game, the effect would be far less than Kiana Mei's, where both the bride and groom marry a third party.

"That's...that's so nice..." Seele, standing to the side, was already flushed, her eyes brimming with tears of envy. "I...I also want to...be with Bronya...to be with the Captain..."

The ambiguous relationship with Bronya was originally a negative factor, but with Kiana and Mei, Kallen and Yae Sakura around, their little schemes have become ineffective.

Before she could finish speaking, she was too shy to continue. She could only bury her head, which was already completely filled with beautiful fantasies, deep in the equally soft embrace of "the other me" beside her.

"Hmph... Shameless." Although Hei Xi'er said this, her ears, which were also uncontrollably starting to heat up slightly, and the way her fingers secretly anticipated her as she hugged the "other self" in her arms even tighter, had already revealed her true thoughts.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in the seat of "Yingjie".

"Hmm hmm hmm," Alicia made no attempt to hide her incredibly excited and expectant expression.

She even stood up from her seat, and like the most loyal fan, offered the warmest and most sincere applause and cheers to the "newlyweds" on stage who had successfully "reached" their goal.

"This is...it's amazing!" Regular Airi clapped her hands, her almond-shaped eyes sparkling with pink hearts as she excitedly looked at Eden beside her. "Don't you think...this feeling...of everyone working together towards the same goal and finally achieving it..."

“Yes,” Herrscher Airi nodded, a gentle smile of approval on her face. “Indeed… it is the most beautiful scenery in the world.”

Of course, amidst this harmonious atmosphere of "blessings" and "emotions," there were also discordant voices.

After seeing that Kiana and Mei had also been completely "taken down" by Lu Mo, Durandal's face showed a complex expression full of "unwillingness" and "disappointment".

"They...they beat me to it..." she muttered softly, her voice filled with an undisguised, faint sadness.

I have no complaints about what happened before.

But for those reasons, she was the slowest to gain favor with the captain, which made her somewhat downcast on this occasion.

“There’s nothing I can do about it,” Rita said, her face still bearing that impeccable, professional smile befitting a head maid.

"After all... who can blame them for having such a convenient location?"

From the very beginning, their chances were not as good as Kiana's and Mei's.

After all, Lu Mo had known them for longer.

"but……"

"If you're willing... anytime... you can... even if you're a latecomer!"

Rita has plenty of strength and skills.

It's not difficult for Durandal to overtake on a curve.

Amidst this cacophony of "blessings" filled with complex emotions, one after another...

This grand wedding ceremony, complete with a cake-cutting ritual, finally began.

Although everyone except the person who made the cake wore expressions of confusion and bewilderment.
