The wedding day arrived, the culmination of a journey filled with both challenges and triumphs. Kalego, usually stoic and reserved, found himself a bundle of nerves. He paced the dressing room, his usual composure replaced by nervous energy. His friend, Balam, entered, a reassuring smile on his face.

"Hey Kalego, are you ready?" Balam asked, noticing Kalego's unease. "Yes, but..." Kalego hesitated, unable to articulate the turmoil within him. "But what?" Balam pressed, his voice gentle. "I'm...nervous," Kalego confessed his voice barely a whisper.

"Normally, I don't feel this way, not even when facing my class." Balam chuckled softly. "Don't worry, Kalego. It's normal to be nervous on your wedding day. And I bet Iruma is even more nervous than you." His words, laced with humor and understanding, calmed Kalego's anxieties. He took a deep breath; a sense of peace settled over him.

They arrived at the venue, a grand hall adorned with vibrant flowers and shimmering lights. The air buzzed with anticipation, a symphony of excited chatter and laughter. Kalego's eyes scanned the crowd, recognizing familiar faces-his students, colleagues, and friends who had become a part of their journey.

He saw the warmth in their smiles, the genuine happiness radiating from them. He knew Iruma would be equally touched by this outpouring of love and support. As Kalego stood at the altar, waiting for his beloved, his heart swelled with a mixture of anticipation and joy. The doors opened, and Iruma emerged, accompanied by his grandfather, Sullivan.

Iruma, dressed in a pristine white suit, looked radiant, his eyes sparkling with love and a hint of nervousness. As he walked towards Kalego, his gaze never wavered, focused solely on his future husband. Memories flooded Kalego's mind-their first encounter at Babyls, Iruma's unwavering determination, his kindness, and the way he had touched Kalego's heart in ways he never thought possible.

Sullivan, with a mischievous glint in his eye, extended Iruma's hand to Kalego. "Kalego, take care of my grandson. Or else..." he trailed off, his voice laced with a playful threat. "Grandpa, don't threaten him," Iruma chuckled, his voice laced with affection. "I was just teasing, Iruma," Sullivan said, his voice softening. "But seriously, Kalego, please take care of him for me." He embraced Kalego, his eyes welling up with tears.

"Of course, I will," Kalego assured him, his voice firm with love and commitment. He saw the depth of Sullivan's love for his grandson, a love that mirrored his own. Kalego took Iruma's hand, their fingers intertwining, and they walked to the altar together. The ceremony began, the air thick with emotion. The pastor's voice resonated through the hall, his words solemn yet filled with hope.

"Greetings, demons, demoness, family, friends, and everyone present. We gather here today for the wedding of our beloved Iruma Suzuki and Kalego Naberius. Before we start this wedding, if someone is against this wedding, please stand up or else you will forever stay silent." The silence that followed was deafening, a testament to the unwavering support surrounding the couple.

"It seems there is no one against this wedding; now let's continue."

The ceremony unfolded, filled with heartfelt vows and expressions of love. The pastor addressed Iruma first: "Iruma Suzuki, would you take Kalego Naberius as your lawful husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?" "I do," Iruma responded, his voice filled with emotion.

The pastor then turned to Kalego: "Kalego Naberius, would you take Iruma Suzuki as your lawful husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and cherish until death do you part?"

"I do," Kalego replied, his voice steady and filled with love.

The pastor then invited them to share their vows: "Now you both say your vows, Mr. Iruma; you go first." Iruma's voice, filled with heartfelt sincerity, echoed through the hall.

"When I started my journey at Babyls, at first everything felt like it was an impossible challenge for me. The new environment was full of unfamiliar faces and customs, and I found myself in a state of isolation and uncertainty. In those early days, it was you who came out as the guiding light that brightened the path of learning and personal growth for me. You bestowed upon me the invaluable gift of determination, motivating me to grasp every piece of knowledge, to build bridges with those who were once strangers, and to become part of the Babyls. Although some demons might see a certain Reservedness in your public persona, I have been fortunate enough to take a glance at the kindness and concern you bear deep within. Your caring nature has touched my soul in ways words can hardly describe. I understand that, beneath the mask that you were wearing, you bear a genuine and deep-seated love for the demons who surround you. Your sacrifices and unwavering dedication to Babyls have not gone unnoticed, and they inspire admiration and gratitude in equal measure. Today, in the presence of those who matter most to us, I, Iruma Suzuki, pledge to you, with the utmost sincerity and love, that my heart will forever be yours. No one, and nothing, will ever replace the special place you hold in it. I promise that my love for you is not confined to the present, but will extend into our shared future. As we began on our journey, building our family together, I carry this promise as a testament to the love and admiration that we share. Our journey at Babyls, with all its trials and achievements, has brought us to this great moment. In your honor, I vow to cherish you and love you every day, deepening our connection as we build a life together. You are the beating heart with all my experience, and my heart will forever belong to you."

The pastor then addressed Kalego

"Now please say your vows, Mr. Kalego." Kalego's voice, filled with emotion and a newfound vulnerability, resonated through the hall.

"Our first encounter, during that chaotic entrance ceremony, might not have been the most promising start to our journey together. I honestly confess that during that time, I had my doubts, suspecting that perhaps you were merely using your grandfather's influence to reach the top. But, as time passed and we shared moments and experiences, my perspective underwent a remarkable transformation. It didn't take long for me to notice that the person that I'd initially judged was not true. Beneath the exterior, I discovered a heart of kindness and an unwavering commitment to hard work. I saw your genuine desire to lend a helping hand to those in need. With each passing day, I found myself drawn to these beautiful aspects of your character, and before I realized it, my heart was deeply entangled with your own. Today, before our loved ones, I, Kalego Naberius, pledge to you, with unwavering sincerity and devotion, my commitment to safeguard you always. My love for you knows no bounds, and I promise to cherish and protect you with all my heart. Your happiness will be my foremost aspiration, and I vow to provide for you, fulfilling your every wish to the best of my ability. Our journey together has been a testament to the transformative power of love, and I look forward to the days ahead, building our future together. With this vow, I seal our love, promising to be by your side, loving you deeply, and giving you everything you could ever desire. You are my heart's true desire, and I cherish the love we share." The pastor, his voice filled with warmth and sincerity, pronounced them married.

"Now I pronounce your spouse."

"Now kiss your spouse." Kalego gently took hold of Iruma's hand and gradually drew closer, planting a kiss on Iruma's lips. The guests erupted with joy at the sight before them. After enduring numerous trials, the two of them finally got married.
