Kissing—what a wondrous and intoxicating feeling it is? When the two pairs of lips gently touched, it felt as if time itself had come to a standstill. At that moment, the entire world seemed to consist of only each other; all noise and disturbance gradually faded away.
The instant their lips met, a warm current rapidly spread from the point of contact throughout the entire body, making one feel as if basking in a spring breeze, utterly enchanted. That soft sensation was as light and sweet as cotton candy, gently rubbing and bringing an indescribable pleasure.
As the kiss deepened, Shun and Ana's breathing gradually became more rapid. Their warm breaths intertwined, creating a unique atmosphere that tightly enveloped the two of them. The occasional touch of their tongues was like a bolt of lightning streaking across the night sky, triggering waves of trembling and excitement.
It was not only intimate physical contact, but also a deep exchange between souls. In this wonderful moment, there was no need for words to feel the emotions and desires deep within each other's hearts.
It seemed like a long time had passed before Shun reluctantly left Ana's lips. They gazed at each other, and the blushes on their cheeks unconsciously appeared again.
"Uh, well… the weather today is really nice." Shun really wanted to say something, but what came out of his mouth was unexpectedly lame.
Ana couldn't help but be amused. She pushed Shun, who was still pressing on her, away, then immediately burrowed back into his arms without thinking.
This plain yet sweet sense of happiness fascinated her. If possible, she even wished time would stop forever at this moment.
"Shun, when are we getting married?" Resting her head on Shun's chest and listening to his strong, powerful heartbeat, Ana couldn't help but ask about the marriage plan that had been put on hold for a long time.
Actually, if it hadn't been for meeting the parents back then and dealing with the subsequent matters of the Snow Lotus Squad, they might already be husband and wife by now.
However, if that had been the case, whether Shun would still dare to go on adventures in Nagazora City would be another story. After all, the power of family is a double-edged sword for a man.
"Let's wait until things settle down. We can do it anytime." Even though they hadn't been in contact for a long time, as long as he knew that Ana's heart had not changed in the slightest, Shun was already content.
When two people are together, what matters is each other's feelings, not those things that are merely in name. As long as the two hearts were confirmed to be extremely close, no matter what, it was within Shun's acceptable range.
"Sure, then let's invite Dad and Mom over at that time." Although this might be quite different from what Mother-in-law had in mind, it didn't matter. After all, Ana's marriage had their approval.
"Oh, right… speaking of Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, um, I accidentally drove Father-in-law's car away forcefully…" Shun slightly edited the previous events and told Ana about it.
"Eh? There was actually such a coincidental thing? However, you don't need to worry about this matter. My dad won't get angry because of it."
Ana was somewhat surprised. In a world with seven billion people, Shun had randomly taken a car, and it turned out to be her father's.
"Actually, Dad has quite a connection with this matter. I'll tell you about it when there's time." After all, under the current circumstances, there was no need to discuss such things.
"Alright, then I'll listen carefully to stories about Father-in-law's past." It had to be said that Shun was still quite interested in his father-in-law Friedrich.
"How many people should we invite?" After ending the sudden topic about the in-laws, Ana continued to ask.
"There probably won't be that many, right? It feels like the majority will be from your side, Ana." Shun thought carefully. All the people he knew so far were named characters who had appeared in the original game plot.
And there weren't that many of them, but Ana was different. Not to mention the Schariac family, just the fact that a Valkyrie was getting married would definitely cause a stir in Schicksal.
At that time, it was unknown how many people would show up uninvited because of this.
"That's true. After all, a Valkyrie getting married is something that can make headlines across all of Schicksal…" Ana felt a bit troubled. Honestly speaking, she definitely wanted everyone to know the good news of her marriage, but the trouble this behavior would bring was also significant.
"How about this? Since it feels difficult to handle, why don't we let someone else handle it? For example…"
At this moment, a certain blond-haired person playing Kallen Fantasy in the Bishop's office sneezed.
"Can a Soul Steel body even catch a cold?"
After hearing Shun's words, Ana's expression became somewhat strange. She thought to herself that he really knew how to think of things. Although the Bishop had always been very approachable and would sometimes personally officiate weddings, taking the initiative to request it was truly a first.
"However, with Principal Theresa's relationship involved… it doesn't seem impossible?"
If possible, Ana naturally hoped that the Bishop could officiate their wedding. After all, having the Bishop personally officiate and deliver the congratulations could be said to be the highest level of blessing from Schicksal.
"It's fine. I'll go talk to him." Shun had already come to his loyal St. Freya. In ancient terms, it was equivalent to having already claimed the mountain as king. With a firm foothold, there was nothing to fear from Otto.
Even if there were worries about internal spies or something, he could just have Misteln sweep through once. In the current civilization, who could compete with Misteln in mental powers?
"Eh, you? …That works too, I guess." After thinking about the strength Shun had shown now, Ana felt there was no need to worry. It was unlikely that two people with no grudges would start fighting the moment they met.
"Then it's settled. One day I'll pick a time to go to Schicksal Headquarters…"
There were many things involved in getting married. Although Shun and Ana were both newcomers to this, they still discussed many things.
From the choice of wedding venue and the determination of the decoration style, to the drafting of the guest list and the design of the wedding favor boxes; from the selection of wedding dresses and the styles of wedding rings and jewelry, to the shooting locations for wedding photos and the planning of the honeymoon destination… every detail needed to be thought about, negotiated, and decided together by them.
"Oh no, it seems it's already quite late." By the time Shun reacted, the sky outside had already darkened somewhat.
"It does seem so. I didn't expect we talked for so long all at once." Ana also realized belatedly. Indeed, sometimes when staying with the person you like, you don't even notice the passage of time.
Ana left Shun's shoulder, took out a hair tie from her pocket, and tied her hair up. It looked like she was preparing to cook.
However, just as she finished tying her ponytail, her hand was grabbed by Shun. "We're not eating at home today. Theresa invited both me and you to have dinner at Himeko's house tonight."
Shun had originally thought that Ana would be quite happy to know she didn't need to cook tonight, but unexpectedly, Ana gave him a resentful look and ran upstairs.
"Why didn't you say something so important earlier!"
