Your Commander-in-Chief – Chapter 341

“Hiyaaat!”

With a huge battle cry, Jupiter charges forward.

I watched this sight of Jupiter and sat down on a nearby large rock.

After swinging his sword and taking care of monsters for a while, Jupiter turned his head and tilted it.

“Blood Demon King! Why are you resting so much?”

“Hey, can you come here for a second?”

“Hmm…?”

The reason I met Jupiter today wasn’t just to farm.

I had something very important to tell him.

Jupiter hopped over and plopped down next to me.

“Do you have something to say?”

“Yeah.”

“Then if you have any concerns, feel free to talk.”

“I’m getting married.”

“Uh… what…?”

Jupiter, who had been nodding along to my calm declaration, suddenly gaped.

From his reaction, he seemed quite shocked. Is it really that surprising that I’m getting married?

I tilted my head and asked Jupiter.

“Why are you so surprised?”

“Isn’t it obvious?! Who’s the partner?!”

“Helena and Sohee.”

“Whoa…!”

I tilted my head again at Jupiter’s reaction.

It seemed he was more shocked by the fact that Sohee was my bride rather than the fact that I was getting married.

“What’s wrong?”

“Are you… okay?”

“Okay? Me?”

“Yeah. Haven’t you had any head injuries lately?”

“No. I’m perfectly fine!”

Why is he suddenly asking if I had a head injury?

I was in great health.

Thanks to the exercise I recently started, I had built up a lot of stamina, so I was feeling great.

“Hmm… hmm…”

“So, I want you to come to my wedding.”

The reason I met Jupiter was none other than to invite him to my wedding.

My friendships were too limited as I had only played Deron throughout school.

I had only a handful of people I could call friends, meaning those I’d send invitations to were also limited.

I hadn’t made the invitations yet, but I wanted to share this joyful news with my closest friend, Jupiter, first.

“Is the wedding… happening in Korea?”

“Yeah.”

“I can go, but… are you happy?”

“Why are you asking something so obvious? Don’t I look happy?”

I replied to Jupiter and smiled brightly.

I felt all the emotions I experienced with Sohee packed into that smile.

Jupiter, who was looking serious at my answer, nodded absentmindedly.

“Yeah… you definitely look happy…”

“Right? So, can you make it?”

“I just need the exact date…”

“Oh. That’s…”

*

Time flew by very quickly.

In the unchanging daily routine, while playing Deron, I was amazed when I saw the invitation card Sohee brought.

“Wow…”

It had a simple yet luxurious appearance.

The pure white exterior wrapped around with beautiful golden embossing.

────


We are getting married.


Continuing the unchanging love of a thousand years.


Hayun & Sohee


────

“Did Sohee write this?”

“I thought if it was long, it wouldn’t be good.”

“Wow…”

A thousand years of love, huh.

I looked away from Sohee, feeling a flush creeping up my cheeks.

How embarrassing! Am I really going to send this kind of invitation to others?

I swallowed hard and hugged the white invitation tightly.

I had already informed Jupiter and some close friends about my marriage, but now that the real invitation was out, it felt inexplicably embarrassing.

Was it because I was actually getting married?

Naturally, I found myself nodding while sitting on Sohee’s lap.

“How many guests are you inviting?”

“As many as you want.”

“Can I invite all my classmates?”

“If you want.”

“Uh… um…”

I shook my head at Sohee’s answer.

How could she be so confident that she could invite so many people to the wedding?

“By the way… why are we getting married so late?”

Thinking back, it did seem a bit odd.

We started living together right after graduating high school.

Considering my relationship with Sohee was practically that of a married couple already, no one would have thought it weird if we got married on the same day we started living together.

When Sohee heard my question, she chuckled lightly and ruffled my hair.

“The building wasn’t completed yet.”

“Completed…?”

“Yeah. We were building a place to hold the wedding.”

“Wow…”

So they were actually building a place just for the wedding?

If anyone else said this, I might not have believed it easily.

But since it was Sohee saying it, I couldn’t help but believe.

“Does setting the wedding date mean the building is finished?”

“Yeah.”

Sohee answered and began showing me pictures on her phone.

The clean exterior of the building was visible from the outside.

It looked like a temple you’d only see in a game.

No, this is a temple.

I rubbed my eyes and zoomed in on the photo.

The engraved insignia of the Sun God on the outer wall and the large statues placed near the temple definitely depicted the appearance of Solaris.

“This…!”

“Do you like it?”

“This is a Deron screenshot, isn’t it?”

I shouted in excitement.

How could I not react this way?

I flicked through the pictures with trembling fingers.

The interior photos of the completed building looked just like Solaris’s temple.

It felt as if I had stepped into a game and taken screenshots.

But this wasn’t inside a game.

“I was thinking about where to do it for a long time and just decided to build it.”

“Wow…”

I buried my head and wiggled my toes.

A ticklish sensation spread throughout my body.

“Wow…”

Even without Sohee touching me, my body began to react.

My trembling legs and wildly pounding heart.

My body melted comfortably and drooped in Sohee’s embrace.

“Are you really that happy?”

“So happy… so happy…”

It was just too wonderful.

She built the Sun God Temple for me.

Just for the wedding.

How could someone not be touched by this?

I buried my face in Sohee’s embrace, mumbling.

*

As I sent invitations to many people, I waited for the wedding date to approach.

I sent invitations to guild members who had been with me and also to Arthur, a friend I met in Deron.

I sent invitations to many people. Naturally, the word would get around.

The Deron gallery, which was inextricably linked to me, soon caught on to my wedding news.

The reactions were quite heated.

How could anyone not react when the gallery owner and idol was getting married?

On the day of the wedding, the Deron gallery was buzzing with talks about me.

[Deron Online Gallery]

[Blood Demon King’s armpits are service-ending…][21]

(A screenshot of the armpit of Yeo’s character enlarged)


Who is the gallery master now?

[Comments]


[Isn’t it no longer everyone’s idol…?]


ㄴ[ㅇㅇ sold today…]


ㄴ[No!!! My armpit!!!!]


ㄴ[ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[It was short, but I was happy…]


ㄴ[For real…]


ㄴ[Does that mean no more screenshots?]


ㄴ[That seems unlikely? I never said I’d quit the game]


ㄴ[Now I have to have kids, so I might not have time to play…]


ㄴ[Not having kids…]


ㄴ[Huh?]


ㄴ[The partner is also a woman]


ㄴ[Wow….ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]


ㄴ[Why do you think they can’t have kids? Technology has advanced so much nowadays]


ㄴ[Having kids isn’t a problem, right? You don’t think they’ll be unable to feed them…]

[Where’s the wedding taking place?]


ㄴ[Don’t know, just know it’s today]


ㄴ[I envy those who got invites…]

“Hey. Are you all set?”

“Whoa…!”

I hurriedly hid my phone behind my back at the sudden voice.

Looking up ahead, Harang stood there in a black suit, leaning slightly.

“What? When did you come?”

“Just now… What are you doing without your dress on?”

“Uh…”

I pouted at Harang’s question, glancing at the prepared dress.

I had told Sohee I wanted to wear a tuxedo instead of a wedding dress, and she even agreed.

But on the day of the wedding, that promise was not kept.

This was the one day Sohee had told a lie, and one she had never lied to me about.

“Put it on quickly. The entrance time is coming up.”

“Uh-huh…”

I nodded at Harang’s words and checked the time.

Indeed, it was almost time to enter the venue.

Harang nodded at my response and quickly exited the waiting room.

As the ceremony time approached, Sohee was nowhere to be seen.

In the end, I had no choice but to wear the pure white dress.

A slight hint of mischief could be seen on my face, covered with light makeup.

I gently fiddled with the pure white ribbon on my chest.

Out of all the dresses, this one had the best reaction, so it seemed this would be the one I’d wear.

I wasn’t particularly opposed to it.

Just… just…

Sigh…

I let out a sigh and shook my head.

It’s almost time to enter.

“Are you ready?”

When everything was ready, Harang came back and asked.

I nodded, fiddling with the D.R on my wrist.

“All set.”

“Let’s go.”

I looked at Harang’s outstretched hand, nodded, and held it as we started moving together.

As we left the waiting room, the sudden cheers and the BGM of Deron’s Capital City filled the air.

Feeling curious about what was happening, I tilted my head, and Harang explained.

“Sohee went in first.”

“What?! Isn’t that out of order?”

“You still don’t get it…”

The first entrance should be the groom’s, right?

I let go of Harang’s hand and dashed forward.

Arriving at the entrance to the venue.

I peeked through the slightly open door, and there was Sohee, or rather, Helena, walking ahead.

The blurry hologram of a red mage formed with each step she took, and the flowing red flames created a beautiful sight.

“Wow…”

While I was in awe, the hologram that made up Helena flared brightly and scattered into the air above.

Replaced in that spot was not Helena but Sohee.

Dressed in a black tuxedo, Sohee opened her eyes and started walking forward.

“Who came up with this performance?”

“So, it was Sohee…”

“Impressive…”

I nodded at Harang’s words.

How much time passed before it finally came to my turn to enter.

[Bride Entrance!]

The doors of the temple, which had been tightly shut, opened at that moment.

I activated the D.R worn on my arm to summon Deron’s Blood Demon King.

Vwoosh—

White light particles enveloped my body, beginning to form a familiar shape.

Horns sprouted from above my head, and black demonic wings appeared behind me.

Over my pure white dress formed pristine armor.

As I took on this familiar appearance, my tension eased.

I was used to the gazes flying in from all directions.

“Be well.”

With Harang’s last words, I started walking forward.

At the same time, the unique BGM of Solaris’s temple began to play.

The sacred yet tranquil warmth of sunlight.

As I walked, I glanced around.

Seeing familiar faces as I passed halfway down the aisle that felt long.

The blurry hologram covering my body began to dissipate with crackling dark red lightning.

Crisp!

As Deron’s Blood Demon King disappeared, what remained was me, wearing a pure white dress, Hayun.

I met Sohee’s gaze in front of me.

Her expression looked happier than ever.

Seeing that smile, I couldn’t help but beam back.
