“… Two lines?”

Cynthia stared blankly ahead. A thin stick with red lines drawn on it appeared in her field of vision. There were two lines.

It meant one thing.

“Oh, pregnant? Really…? Really?”

Cynthia came to her senses and pinched her cheek, realizing that this was reality. Then she thought.

Was it the last time you dated that was the problem? Or the time before that? … I couldn’t figure it out.

A considerable amount of time had passed since their first date. Cynthia and Han Sung-jin went on dates every other day, and stayed out overnight every day. Thinking back, it was surprising that they hadn’t gotten pregnant until now.

“If I think about it, it’s a wonder I haven’t done it until now… Ugh, what should I say to you, oppa?”

It was natural to talk, but I felt a bit embarrassed.

Cynthia decided to keep it simple. She had heard that pregnancy tests aren’t 100% accurate. She had two lines, but there was a chance it wasn’t… so she’d just say that there were two lines.

“First of all, I should say that two lines have appeared… .”

Cynthia went to Han Seong-jin’s room.

“Hey, Sia, what brings you here so early in the morning?”

“I have something to say.”

I tilted my head as I watched Sia come in with a serious expression on her face, knocking on the door. What should I say? Nothing came to mind when I looked at her expression.

But at that moment, something in her hand came into view. It was a small stick.

“that–“

“It’s a pregnancy test. Since it’s inside every time you take it, you have to check it often.”

“Ahem… .”

I cleared my throat. But, could it be that Sia came here with that?

“I think what I’m thinking is right?”

“There are two lines.”

“But it’s not certain yet, so I think I should go to the hospital.”

I nodded. It would be right to go to the gynecologist and check for details. I held Cynthia’s hand.

“I got pregnant before I got married.”

“… Well, that’s the natural course of things. That’s what I did. It was good, though.”

“So what do you want to do?”

I asked Sia.

He asked me when I was going to get married.

“… I’m not sure yet, but I’d like to have the meal first. Is that possible?”

“If that’s what you want, then do it.”

“Then… shall we go and check first?”

Sia and I held each other’s hands and headed to the OB/GYN department. And here’s the result.

“… It’s the third week.”

“It feels strange to know that there is your child inside me.”

“Our child.”

“Yes, that’s my child.”

The test results confirmed that I was pregnant. There are still 9 months left until the baby is born, but time goes by faster than you think. I don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy, but I hope it’s a girl.

“Then, when would be a good time to eat?”

“It would be best to do it when the bride is as beautiful as possible. Wedding photos will last forever.”

I meant to do it as soon as possible. A smile appeared on Sia’s face at my words.

I took out a ring that I had prepared in the subspace but couldn’t figure out the right time to hand it over. A platinum ring with a gemstone that symbolized unchanging love was in my hand. Cynthia’s eyes sparkled strangely.

“… The atmosphere and location aren’t that great, and I didn’t prepare any romantic lines. Will you accept it?”

A ring was slowly placed on Sia’s ring finger.

“I want to spend my whole life by your side, looking at and experiencing the same things as you. Let’s get married.”

“……yes!”

The promise made when rejecting Sia’s confession one day was fulfilled. Cynthia’s eyes softened.

It was the laughter of the happiest woman in the world.

***

The wedding preparations took place quickly.

Cynthia’s pregnancy was confirmed and the appointment was scheduled for 11 o’clock on Saturday, one month later. She couldn’t hide her nervousness.

In a month… we will become a couple. Even if we become a couple, nothing will change from our current relationship, but it still feels different. Ah, the way people around us look at us will also change a little.

“Wow… you are absolutely beautiful.”

“Oh. Thank you.”

Cynthia, wearing a wedding dress, looked at herself in the mirror. Cynthia called to him beyond the door.

“Brother. You can come in.”

“Okay? Got it.”

Creak – The door opened and Han Seong-jin came inside. Then he froze.

“… What is this, your reaction is so dull?”

“No, I was surprised. You were pretty even without makeup… What should I say? Isn’t this the kind of beauty you can only see in this world?”

“Don’t joke around.”

“Are you serious?”

Cynthia stared at Han Sungjin for a long time. It was her way of expressing her dissatisfaction. Still, she didn’t hate Han Sungjin like this. He was more expressive than before.

“Have you decided on that dress?”

“Oh, a dress? I haven’t decided yet. There are a lot of pretty ones. I’ll try them all on and wear the one you like.”

“Ah… I see.”

“I think I’ll have to come here for a few days.”

Han Seong-jin nodded with a blank expression.

As much as it was fun to see Cynthia wear different dresses, it was expected to be a tough ride.

***

The month passed quickly.

Before we knew it, the wedding day had arrived.

“Whoa… I’m nervous. Calm down. Calm down…”

My heart was pounding so hard I thought it would burst.

Cynthia slowly took a deep breath and relaxed her tense mind. Even though she had become a normal body, Shinga’s secret breathing technique was still useful.

Ah, now it’s a bit hard to call it a normal body. Since I’ve regained the power of a low-level hero. Of course, that’s not what’s important right now…

“Do I look okay?”

“You’re beautiful. Of all the people I’ve ever seen.”

“Thank you, Illian.”

Cynthia nodded with a smirk. I couldn’t tell if it was a polite remark or not, but it was nice to hear.

“You know what?”

“what?”

“That’s the happiest looking face in the world right now.”

“…okay?”

Cynthia tilted her head and asked Illian.

“Rather, I want to ask… Is marriage that great? Haven’t you already seen everything and done everything?”

“Is that so?”

Cynthia hesitated and nodded. It was funny to deny it when she was staying out every other night.

“Just. Good. Being reunited with the person I love. It’s not physical or mental, but still… somehow it feels good.”

“I see.”

Illian nodded with a strange expression. Cynthia couldn’t tell what she was thinking.

“You should find a partner quickly too.”

“Well. Will that day ever come? Ah. Sia, if you have a son——”

“… … Huh? What did you say?”

Cynthia interrupted Illian with a smile and asked back. Illian waved her hand and spoke to Cynthia.

“… I’m just kidding.”

“I was just kidding. It doesn’t matter if it’s serious. Illian is my daughter-in-law. That would be fun in its own way.”

“… Are you serious?”

“If I give birth to a son… and he likes you, there’s no need to object, right?”

Cynthia said with a mischievous expression. Illien was created by her divine power and lives forever. Even though she is not a transcendent being. Would Illien choose to live with Cynthia’s son? Maybe Cynthia’s son could become a transcendent being. However, such a hypothesis is meaningless. In a situation where the child to be born right away is not even known whether it will be a daughter or a son.

“By the way, are you going to become a Transcendent again?”

“Well. Growing old together like this wouldn’t be so bad. It would be nice to live together forever.”

“… I don’t like you. No, no. I don’t like this because it seems too forced.”

“You’re kind, Illian.”

Cynthia hasn’t made up her mind yet. She’ll become a transcendent being, and although it won’t be as powerful as before, she’ll gain enough power to share it with Han Sung-jin and live forever together. Or she’ll grow old together and live happily ever after.

– The wedding ceremony of groom Han Seong-jin and bride Cynthia will be held shortly. Distinguished guests, please… … .

Outside, information about the pre-meal guide was being broadcast.

“Ah, I should get ready now.”

Cynthia didn’t tense up. She slowly closed her eyes and opened them again, letting her thoughts sink into her mind.

The main character of this meal today is yourself.

***

The wedding ceremony was officiated by Cheon Mu-bong.

A top-tier hero, a person who walked the path of nothingness and fell into the shackles of transcendence. He was also the person to whom I owed the most.

From the time I came to this world and wandered until now, I have received a lot of help from him.

Sia also received a lot of help from him.

“Today, October 18th. A new family was born amidst the blessings of our guests. Groom Han Sung-jin and bride Cynthia. I sincerely congratulate you on your marriage. … … … (omitted) … … … .”

Cheonmu Peak’s sermon has ended.

The wedding was long, but it was also short. It was definitely not a short amount of time… As I was looking at Sia, time passed by so quickly.

A lot of people gathered.

It wasn’t just for me and Shinga to build a network, but also for those I already knew… precious connections who came all the way here to congratulate me and Sia on our wedding.

Among them were Aiden and Eliana, who grew SJ Investment together, and Cha Seo-yeon, who was a secretary but did more than just that. There was also Kim Ho-seok, who is now the head of the Changcheon Kim family. Oh, and there was also Illien, who became an independent streamer for a large corporation.

Besides that, there were many familiar and friendly faces.

‘Did I know this day would come…?’

I suddenly remembered the first time I had a crush on someone.

I was possessed by Han Seong-jin, a high school student. At that time, could I have imagined this moment? Probably not.

I’ve had a lot of worries and have ended up living a life that wasn’t what I had planned. But I don’t regret it.

Because I have Sia.

I looked into Sia’s eyes.

“Now that the meal is over——”

Now, the most beautiful woman in the world was standing in front of me. I slowly bowed my head toward her.

It wasn’t planned.

Cynthia looked confused for a moment, but then closed her eyes with a happy expression and waited for me.

Their lips lightly touch each other.

——Wow!

Cheers and applause are heard.

“love you.”

“i love you.”

Sia and I spoke at the same time.

We left the ceremony hall, smiling and holding each other’s hands.

Sia and I will be happy.

From now on, forever.
