Ending Maker Episode 436
Chapter 17 – Happily ever after #3
“Lady Cordelia!”
The moment Uder and Cordelia opened the front door and came in, Hong Yu-hee, who had been waiting in front of the door, shouted with a face full of joy, then immediately knelt down and put her hands together in a praying pose.
Cordelia was embarrassed by such playfulness, but Yuder was not.
As the Pope of the Cordelia Church, he looked at Hong Yu-hee praying in a devout manner with satisfaction, and he also gave a glance to Kang Jin-ho, who was standing blankly next to Yu-hee.
‘You don’t do it?’
Apparently Cordelia baptized me the last time we met.
Kang Jin-ho flinched for a moment at Yuder’s glance, then quickly clasped his hands together in a praying pose.
Just a few seconds like that.
In the end, Cordelia, unable to bear it any longer, woke Hong Yu-hee up, and only then were the two able to enter the house.
* * *
As soon as they settled into the living room, Cordelia grabbed Yu-hee and started talking about this and that, and what started out as a recent story naturally led to the wedding.
“So, you say, I should call the angels?”
“Huh? Angels?”
“Oh, the angels of heaven. You know them, right? They appear in the biographies of heroes. Like Sister Raguel?”
“Ra, Raguel? The archangel?”
“Oh, Archangel. She’s my close friend.”
We don’t meet often, but when we do, we’re very happy to see each other, so I guess we’re close friends.
“But it would be difficult for Sister Raguel to come in person. She’s an archangel. I wonder if she’d understand if she used an avatar like me. So I was thinking of calling some angels under her, other than Sister Raguel?”
“I, I am grateful.”
Angels came to celebrate the wedding.
Is there another wedding like this in the world?
But Cordelia wasn’t satisfied with just being a guest.
“I’ll only invite about thirty people, including those who will sing the congratulatory song, those who will be the entourage, and those who will give a blessing when we enter.”
“Ah, congratulations?”
“Oh, a congratulatory song. Oh, have you already decided who will sing the congratulatory song?”
“That… … Natasha decided to sing along with Hye-eun.”
“Really? That’s even better. Let’s sing along with the angels.”
Cordelia spoke with a big smile, and Hong Yu-hee couldn’t resist the smile of her beloved and beloved newcomer, Cordelia.
‘Sorry, sisters!’
Hong Yu-hee could only nod her head, although she could only imagine how it would feel to be among the angels singing a congratulatory song, and the images of Kim Hye-eun and Natasha suffering among the angels came to mind.
And these two people – Cordelia and Hong Yu-hee – were watching from right next to him, and Yuder thought.
‘Anyway, as long as Cordelia is happy, that’s fine.’
What’s a mere thirty angels? Wouldn’t it be okay to invite hundreds and fill the wedding hall?
Cordelia is said to be happy.
Yuder, who had a very Yuder-like thought, looked around and nodded again at Kang Jin-ho, who was thinking, ‘Isn’t it enough if Hong Yu-hee is happy?’
And while all the men were like this, Cordelia brought up a new topic.
“Where did you have your wedding?”
“It’s not too far from here. It’s an outdoor wedding.”
“Oh, outdoors.”
“Yes, but… … I’m a little worried. They said it might rain on the day.”
The problem with outdoor weddings was, of course, the weather.
Because of the nature of weddings, reservations had to be made at least several months in advance, so it was not possible to proactively respond to sudden changes in the weather.
But Cordelia smiled brightly and said, “Don’t worry.”
“It’s okay, it’s not raining. Who am I? The sun god. I’ve never met the sun god of Earth, but he wouldn’t say anything like “don’t let it rain at a wedding.” Yeah, yeah.”
In fact, for local weather manipulation, just Control Weather magic is enough.
As Cordelia pounded her chest and made her boast, Hong Yu-hee put her hands together again and took a praying pose.
He had a face that seemed extremely proud of being a member of the Cordelia Church.
Cordelia, who felt a little embarrassed because of that, coughed a few times and then hugged Hong Yu-hee’s shoulder and asked.
“By the way, Yuhee. Have you decided on a wedding dress?”
“Yes, I’ve decided.”
Because it was a week before the wedding.
In fact, it would have been more of a problem if we hadn’t decided on a wedding dress yet.
‘Oh, it’s too bad, but there’s nothing I can do about it.’
I couldn’t cancel it and give her the fairy dress since it was already decided.
‘No, why don’t you just cancel it?’
Because of the nature of play, I would say you rent it instead of buying it.
All you have to do is pay the deposit.
Cordelia was both an incarnation of the goddess and the queen of the sacred kingdom of Eudellia.
In other words, I was living a life where my sense of money was quite numb.
“Excuse me, Yuhi, would it be okay if… … I prepared your wedding dress for you?”
“Lady Cordelia?”
“Yeah, there’s a dress that suits Yu-hee well. Oh, but you don’t have to force yourself to change it. I haven’t seen the dress that Yu-hee chose yet. If it suits you better or is prettier, you can leave it as is. It’s just like giving you one more choice?”
Cordelia was talking nonsense because she thought it might be something like that, but Hong Yu-hee was Hong Yu-hee.
There was no reason for her to refuse when it was none other than Cordelia who prepared the wedding dress.
“I’ll wear it. I’ll wear the dress Cordelia gave me.”
“No, but I’ll take a look anyway. Okay.”
Cordelia, who had just said that, took out the fairy dress and the celestial dress from the magical bag that expanded the inner space, and used her telekinesis to secure them in midair.
“how is it?”
“Wow… … .”
Hong Yu-hee couldn’t answer Cordelia’s question right away.
Because the dresses hanging in the air were literally shining.
“Want to try it on?”
“Is that okay?”
“Of course it will work.”
What’s not possible?
Cordelia got up, giggling, and headed to the bedroom, holding Hong Yu-hee’s hand.
The dresses followed the two people as if they had feet.
The living room where the two people and the two dresses left.
Left alone, Yuder and Kang Jin-ho awkwardly looked at each other, and Yuder, who had a bit more time on his hands, spoke first.
“Congratulations.”
“Okay. Thank you.”
And again, the conversation breaks down.
But it didn’t last that long.
This is because Kang Jin-ho, who was looking towards the living room, turned his gaze back towards Yuder.
“Uder. There’s one thing… … I want to confirm.”
What are you trying to say?
Yuder nodded calmly, and Kang Jin-ho took a deep breath before looking straight at Yuder and asking.
“Are you me?”
A single answer that answers many questions at once.
At Kang Jin-ho’s question, Yuder smiled bitterly and nodded.
Because the situation has changed so much that it is no longer possible to deny it as it was before.
“Did you find out from Natasha? She wouldn’t have said it herself. Was that the beginning of your deduction?”
Natasha’s presence.
More than half a year has passed on Earth since Uther and Cordelia left.
Kang Jin-ho had been observing Natasha closely for a long time, so he must have sensed the discomfort in some way.
“As you said, Natasha was the start. Do you know what happened?
To Kang Jin-ho’s question, Yuder nodded again.
Instead of trying to hide it, he glanced back toward the living room and then began to talk.
And a few minutes.
After hearing the compressed story, Kang Jin-ho crossed his arms and looked thoughtful, then nodded as if he understood.
“It’s not an easy story to accept, but since you’re right in front of me, I guess I just have to accept it.”
It had already been confirmed in a previous meeting that the Yuder in front of him was the real Yuder Bayer.
Any further questioning was just a waste of unnecessary energy.
“That’s what I’m saying.”
“uh.”
“Sprinklers, you guys, right?”
The sprinkler incident that also happened to Kowabunga and AAA.
This time, instead of making unnecessary excuses, Uder simply raised both hands.
“Yes, that’s right. It was Cordelia’s idea, to be exact.”
Because in Cordelia, the sprinkler was already Cupid’s arrow, a god, and invincible.
Kang Jin-ho smiled bitterly at Yuder’s answer, then soon regained his composure and said.
“Tell him I said thank you.”
“okay.”
Because the sprinkler was like a bridge that connected the two people.
If Cordelia hadn’t resorted to such force, it would have taken much longer for the two to develop their current relationship.
‘I’m sure they both secretly took it off.’
In that sense, it was also a good thing that he broke Hong Yu-hee’s house door.
“By the way, will you continue to work as a YouTuber even after you get married? And you manage the chat room too? You’ll continue doing that.”
“We should keep doing it. It’s something Yu-hee likes. The pay is better than you think. Natasha’s popularity is greater than you can imagine.”
The difference between the days when Natasha appeared and the days when she didn’t was so noticeable.
It was Kang Jin-ho who was planning to make Natasha independent.
“Why is that?”
“No, it’s just that. The fact that Kang Jin-ho is managing the chat room… … It’s peaceful, but somehow fun.”
Although Yuder clearly had Kang Jin-ho’s memories and had knowledge of modern civilization, he still had limitations.
Actually, the term ‘virtuover’ was still somewhat unfamiliar to me, and managing the chat room was also similar.
Kang Jin-ho, who has been on the battlefield since childhood, now manages a chat room.
The gap between the two was so uncomfortable that it felt uncomfortable.
But Kang Jin-ho became very serious when he heard Yuder’s words.
“I’m talking to you in front of you, but managing a chat room is not as easy as you think. How much should you tolerate and how much should you cut off? It’s not easy to draw the line. You can’t do it emotionally. It’s something you have to approach rationally.”
“When you say it that way, it sounds kind of plausible.”
“It’s not something that’s plausible, it’s something that’s really important.”
Kang Jin-ho, who spoke strictly, nodded slightly as if to emphasize once more, then quickly uncrossed his arms and asked.
“What about the Pope’s business?”
“It’s great. It’s exciting. I could just be a Cordelia fan all day long.”
“… … Is it the Pope? No, before that, am I right?”
“Oh, that’s you. You who risked your life playing a game to tease a girl nine years younger than you. You.”
Kang Jin-ho groaned involuntarily at Yuder’s self-critical spear, but this time it didn’t last long either.
He smiled slightly and said, slumping his shoulders.
“But… … I think I know. It’s a different person now.”
Yuder and Kang Jin-ho are no longer the same person.
Uder also seemed to agree and smiled bitterly as he said.
“That’s right. They’re different people. They’re just the same at the root… … I’m a human who has lived another 20 years in Kang Jin-ho, and 20 years in a completely different world. My life before I was seventeen, when I regained my memories, was also completely different. It’s the same with Cordelia. From the beginning, we’re different people even on a genetic level.”
It’s not the same anymore.
It’s someone else.
Kang Jin-ho felt more relieved than disappointed by Yuder’s declaration.
And that’s why he said it with a much more relaxed face.
“It’s a bit new, but… … I am grateful for many things.”
“Okay, if you’re grateful, be nice to Natasha too.”
“Because, by your standards, you’re someone like Maia?”
“Yes, Maya.”
When Yuder’s expression warmed as he recalled Maya’s face, Kang Jin-ho leaned back on the sofa as if curious and asked.
“Come to think of it, how is Maia living in that world?”
“I’m working as a chamberlain. Dahlia is a knight commander.”
If we compare Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee, they are like Natasha and Kim Hye-eun.
And how long did Uder’s story last?
Kang Jin-ho, who had been listening to Yuder’s boasting about Maia, took advantage of a brief pause in the conversation to ask a question.
“Excuse me, there’s something I want to ask you.”
“Oh, ask.”
“Can you go to the Pleiades with me, Yuhi?”
At the question, which was a mixture of a little tension and excitement, Yuder couldn’t help but laugh.
“It is possible.”
“Then… …Can I ask you to take us on our honeymoon?”
At the question that was not like Kang Jin-ho, but was like Kang Jin-ho, Yuder nodded readily this time as well.
And that was the moment.
“Let’s go!”
Cordelia opened the bedroom door with a smile on her face, and Hong Yu-hee, dressed in a fairy dress, appeared with a shy smile.
And with the appearance of those two people-
‘Of course, it’s me.’
Yuder thought as he saw Kang Jin-ho, whose eyes sparkled so much that he suddenly got up from his seat, and then smiled bitterly again.
And a week later.
A very clear and nice day.
Kang Jin-ho and Hong Yu-hee’s wedding ceremony has begun.
