Chapter 497: The Pirate’s Wedding

"Oh, oh, oh… Are we going to drink wedding wine?"

"That’s great! I didn’t expect to have a chance to attend a wedding!"

"I want to be the priest, I want to be the priest, ha ha ha ha!"

"Hey, is the young master getting married?"

The pirates became excited when they heard Tige say this.

"Huh? Getting married? Oh my goodness…"

The lookout dizzily fell down from above and landed on the ground.

Another pirate, who was drinking, dropped his jaw in surprise.

This jaw-dropping moment is quite literally a matter of life and death.

His companion casually picked up his chin and put it back on, drunkenly saying, "Watch your chin."

Unfortunately, it seemed that the chin was put on the wrong way.

"Huh? Marriage?" 『』 was completely bewildered. She liked him, but wasn’t this too fast? "Wait, wait, no! Marriage? My brother isn’t here, nor is his father, and… I was just thinking of helping him with a dungeon, just helping him make some cards, and now so many strange things have happened, marriage, marriage…"

『』 was getting a bit incoherent, "You can’t joke about things like this!"

"Do you really think I’m joking?" Tige said with a smile that wasn’t a smile.

"We should talk about marriage later; he still has many important things to do. Although he is one of the leaders of the revolutionary army, we…" 『』’s face turned red as she waved her hands wildly.

[Marriage, marriage, we must get married right here!]

[Wow, Dad is so reliable?]

[Why did he suddenly say he wants to get married?]

[Oh no, don’t play games like that.]

[Oh no, my Honey Karoso is going to lose everything. Didn’t we agree that idols can’t get married?]

[Wow, we watched Master Karoso grow up, he should be happy to get married.]

[It feels like a child has finally grown up, so strange.]

[Raising a child until they get married is such a wonderful thing.]

[『』 is a bit confused, ha ha ha.]

"Dad, stop joking with her…" Karoso said with a mix of laughter and tears.

Although 『』 is a bit older, her thoughts have always been on work and education, and her behavior is similar to that of a young girl.

"Do you also think I am joking?" Tige raised an eyebrow.

Karoso was a bit surprised, "Are you serious?"

"Of course! I want to do this, and no one can stop me!" Tige laughed loudly, "You two, get ready for the wedding!"

"Huh? He still has Neymar. Nobles have many steps to follow for a wedding…" 『』 was even more confused.

Although she has developed feelings for Karoso, she still has many emotions.

But she feels that everything must start with love, right?

Just when there are a few feelings of love, must they go into the grave of love?

Also, 『』 had always been shipping Karoso and Neymar, but how did she end up in that ship herself?

I’m a little sorry for Neymar!

Before, 『』 was jealous of Neymar, but she never really thought about marrying Karoso. She feel like it’s not quite right for her to marry him; he seems better suited for Neymar…

She is much older than Karoso, so it’s normal for her to feel a bit disadvantaged.

But thinking about Karoso and Neymar’s wedding, 『』 shook her head and felt a little upset.

"I’m not a noble; I’m a pirate! He is my descendant, and pirate blood flows in his veins. Whether noble or not, he’s just a legal pirate! When pirates marry, we don’t care about nonsense. Once the feast starts and the rum flows, women are put straight onto the bed, and that’s how we get married!" Tige said with his hands on his hips, "The empress back in the day was much nobler than this little brat, and didn’t I just grab her and throw her onto the bed?"

"As for this Neymar you all mention, I don’t know her, and I don’t recognize her. I only recognize you, little girl!"

"Him marrying a deity is much more complicated than marrying you."

"Well, I also need to let my brother know, and he needs to tell his father too… Let’s talk about it later." 『』 saw that Tige was so serious; she felt he wasn’t joking.

At this point, she felt a little scared.

"Dad…" Karoso managed to stand up, "She grew up with my brother, and if I get married, my father must witness it…"

"I am your ancestor; you ask your dad to come, and I am his ancestor too!" Tige grinned, "You both have two choices: get married quietly or be tied up and forced to marry!"

"You may have gained some strength, but I still want to tie you up, heh heh…"

……

The next day.

Karoso and 『』 were tightly bound, sitting in the middle of the deck with confused expressions, watching the pirates drink heartily.

By the end of yesterday, Karoso and 『』 thought that Tige might be joking.

Now it seemed they were serious.

The pirates danced joyfully around them, singing pirate songs.

"We are pirates, fierce pirates, with a bottle of wine in our left hand and treasures in our right hand…"

"We are pirates, skilled pirates, beautiful ladies, please come to my embrace."

"We are pirates, free-spirited pirates, beautiful Miss 『』, please become the treasure of the young master!"

"Karoso, what should we do…" 『』 said anxiously, "Are we really going to get married? My brother doesn’t even know…"

"…" Karoso indicated that he had been through many situations and faced great dangers, but he truly didn’t know what to do at this moment.

If Tige was a bad guy, then it would be a matter of drawing his sword and fighting.

But Tige is his ancestor…

Snap!

Tige stabbed his waist knife in front of Karoso, "This is the wedding gift I give you!"

The pirates took out their treasures one by one and placed them in front of Karoso.

These items looked old and tattered; there were hats, compasses, and worn-out muskets, but they all had a strong magical aura.

[Wow, these are all things we could get from our missions!]

[Did they just give these away as gifts?]

[These are all great materials!]

[Putting these together could make two good cards.]

[Yes, two powerful Pirate Golden Cards, nine stars each!]

"Come on, let these newlyweds experience a pirate wedding!" Tige took out a small knife and three golden cups.

"Wait, wait, wait…"

『』’s face turned pale.

But Tige did not listen to her at all; he grabbed her hand and cut her finger.

Pshhh…

A jet of blood shot into the cup, splattering all three cups with 『』’s blood.

"Father…"

Pshhh!

Karoso also did not escape this fate.

Tige squeezed his own blood into the cup, then poured rum into all three cups.

"Three cups?" Karoso paused for a moment.

"What three cups?" 『』 whispered, "What time is it? You need to think of a way…"

"Normally, pirates get married with five cups of wine: one for the groom, one for the bride, one for the officiant, one to honor the sea god, and one to honor the ocean." Karoso whispered, "Since Dad is acting strange and we can’t stop him, let’s pretend to marry and make him happy. After we go out, it won’t count."

『』 looked at Karoso with sadness, "You don’t want to marry me?"

Karoso: ???

Didn’t you always show that you didn’t want it and told me to think of something?

『』 turned her head away, "You really don’t want to marry me!"

I have done so much for you, and you are still thinking about Neymar!

『』 suddenly felt very wronged and wanted to cry.

Boo hoo… It’s just that without big brother here, you all bully me like this!

Where are you? Your sister is about to be forced to marry a pirate!

[Hahahaha… Master Karoso is confused!]

[The girls Karoso met before seemed normal, but meeting 『』, who is different, he is a bit puzzling.]

[Yes, Teresa is brave, Elizabeth grew from being careful to bold, Neymar is obedient, and 『』 looks unusual.]

[Come on, 『』 is the normal kind of girl, okay?]

[Well… theoretically, Master Karoso told 『』 to think of a solution, but 『』 is thinking: Do you not love me anymore?]

[『』 is so cute! Why do I think of my troublesome girlfriend? She gets angry no matter what I do, and I still don’t understand why she’s angry.]

[Honey Karoso’s expression… he probably doesn’t even know why 『』 is angry.]

[What she wants to see is your determination to marry her, not to really ask how to solve things!]

[Honey Karoso, listen to Mom’s advice. At this time, you should comfort her well.]

[Does the man really not know where he went wrong?]

[Wow, do you really think 『』 is normal?]

[Of course it’s normal! It’s completely normal, okay!]

[I finally understand where 『』’s personality comes from. So she’s like a girlfriend from the real world?]

[My girlfriend also often gets angry for no reason. When she gets mad, it’s harder to calm her down than a pig during New Year.]

[By the way, why didn’t she get angry yesterday?]

[Because yesterday Master Karoso emphasized that both the brother and Dad weren’t around. Today with 『』, he is pretending to want a fake marriage, meaning he doesn’t want to marry. How did you all find girlfriends?]

[Why do you all who play games have girlfriends? Why don’t I?]

"What day is it today? I can’t remember. The place is Acheron, where all creatures come to the end of their lives! The guests? Well, there aren’t really any guests, just us!"

"I, Tige, am here on the sea today to hold the wedding for this lovely couple. As the captain, I am the witness for this beautiful partnership!"

"Now, groom, Karoso Colloa·Spoleto, do you wish for this woman to be your wife, to make vows with her? In sickness and in health, for any reason at all, will you love her, care for her, respect her, accept her, and always be true to her until the end of your life?"

Looking at Tige with a serious face, Karoso took a deep breath.

He thought carefully about his past with 『』.

『』 truly gave her all for him.

If it weren’t for 『』, I might have died in that eighth-tier dungeon.

If a person like this is not worth being with, then who is?

"I do." Karoso replied earnestly.

"Ha, it doesn’t matter if you don’t want to, anyway, you are a pirate, just don’t let her get away!" Tige laughed loudly.

The pirates burst into laughter, also joining in the fun.

"Yes, if you are not satisfied, just choose another one."

"We pirates are not short on women!"

『』 listened, her pretty face turning pale, feeling even more upset inside.

She should not expect Tige and the others to consider these things for her; these pirates are quite straightforward in their actions.

Understand a girl’s feelings?

If you really understood, wouldn’t you go for a noble lady or a rich merchant’s daughter? Who the heck becomes a pirate!

"『』, do you wish for this man to become your husband and enter into a marriage pact with him? To love him, care for him, respect him, accept him, and remain loyal to him forever, in sickness and health, or for any other reason, until the end of your life?" Tige looked at 『』 again.

"If I say no, will you listen to me?" 『』 said angrily.

"Of course, I won’t," Tige replied with his hands raised.

The pirates burst into laughter again.

"Accept your fate, little girl!"

"Once you are on our pirate ship, you can’t escape!"

"Today, we gather here by fate. Let the groom and bride vow to unite in front of me, with Acheron as a witness, and countless beings from many lands as witnesses! Even if their souls are reborn, even if they are reincarnated, they will remember forever! Countless spirits and lovers will guide you and lead you in your future life. You two have met and united, all by fate—there are no coincidences in fate, only inevitabilities! Therefore, I, Tige, wish you a long and happy life together!" Tige shouted, "Release them! After drinking this cup of rum, they will be married at sea!"

Bang, bang!

The chains binding the two were unfastened, and Karoso casually took a cup of wine.

『』, upon hearing this, also picked up a cup of wine, still looking unwilling.

Tige picked up the last cup of wine.

Glug, glug…

The three of them drank it all in one go.

"You two must always remember, I, Tige, wed you. Your marriage is my responsibility!" Tige smiled slightly, "Once, I honored the gods and the sea."

"But now, I, Tige, have conquered the sea and care nothing for any gods!"

"Alright, newlyweds, it’s time to exchange gifts."

Saying this, Tige took out two rings, "These are Interspatial Rings, treasures not from our continent. They may not hold much, but they will be enough."

[Damn, why don’t I have one?]

[Wow, there’s this setting too?]

[It might be related to the existence of dungeons. I think without the influence of Card God, there should be space items that can store rewards produced by dungeons.]

"Now, the bride and groom will exchange rings!" Tige announced loudly.

"If I don’t want to…"

"Then I will make you exchange them!" Tige smiled, showing off the dominance of the ocean overlord clearly.

"Let’s exchange first." Karoso looked at 『』 helplessly. He took the ring and said seriously, "This is my wedding token for you. I want to marry you, love you, and protect you. No matter if we are rich or poor, no matter the environment, no matter if we are healthy or sick, I will always be your faithful husband."

"This is my wedding token for you. I want to marry you, love you, and protect you. No matter if we are rich or poor, no matter the environment, no matter if we are healthy or sick, I will always be your faithful wife." 『』 also took another ring, and while she said this, her heart was torn between resistance and a bit of expectation.

The two rings were placed on each other’s hands.

"Now, the newlyweds, go to sleep!"
