p1
>Hey, Melissa-san, about this word written here.
>What's a "wedding"?

>!?

>A-Are you okay?

p2
>The ultimate goal of "The Witch's Marriage"
>is to carry out a "wedding" (dark magic ritual)! That's just common sense!!
>Eh!?

>...You're at least aware that the goal of a witch is to open the "Door of Truth" and travel to the other side, right...?
>...Erm, is that what it was?
>This girl...

>The black magic ritual performed to summon that door is commonly referred to as a "wedding".
>Hm, hm...?
>To put it simply, is starts with living together and ends with a ceremony. That's what we call...

p3
>"The Witch's Marriage".

>Amazing! I don't get it, but it sounds really witchy!
>I wanna do it right now!
>Now would be impossible.
>For a normal marriage, the ceremony is the starting line, but for "The Witch's Marriage", the ceremony is the goal.

>Fufufu. In order to open the Door of Truth,
>I'll keep on using this kid until I finally reach the wedding.

>But...

p4
>I'm sure that Melissa-san would look beautiful in a wedding dress...
>>How lovely
>Huh?

>What are you saying? There's no way I'd wear such a pure white wedding gown!
>Eh? But it would definitely be pretty...
>Ah!

>But this way could be cool too.
>Like a dream where you're being escorted.

>Wh-What strange ideas are you getting!?
>I told you, this isn't a normal wedding! It's a magic ritual!

>But still, important as the ceremony is,
>>Not listening
>just being by Melissa-san's side for the rest of my life...

p5
>would make me the happiest girl in the world.

>...Hmph. That goes without saying!
>Good night!!

>Geez~ What's with her? Throwing me off my groove like always.

>That night...

p6-7
>Congratulations.
>Congratulations.
>Congratulations.

>Tanya, do you remember what you said back then?
>Eh? Remember what?

>You said that being with me would make you the happiest girl in the world.
>But right now...

>I'm the one's who the happiest.

p8
>It was a dream! Just a dream...

>Is something wrong?
>Nothing at all!
>Melissa couldn't look Tanya in the eye for a while after that.
