Now, they said this is where the audience is supposed to sit. Also, I guess Kanade and Honami are still getting ready...
Mizuki
Still, that title... “A Beleaguered Bride”...?
What kind of show do they have in store for us?

I've gotta think it's gonna be all weird and comical since Tsukasa and Rui were part of the brainstorming.

Those heels are a little high.
But you look very pretty in them and they suit you nicely.

“Wait, Count Otori?! As in the vampire who lives in that castle deep in the mountains...?! I'd heard rumors about you liking to feed on young brides, but I didn't think you truly existed...!”
Staff Member
“You kidnapping monster!
Appearing at a wedding like this means...”

Mizuki
O-Okay? A vampire who likes to kidnap young brides...? That's what the title was talking about?!
Count Otori
“Hah hah hah hah! Now, my beautiful brides, come hither and relinquish to yourselves me!”
Honami
(But the show must already be underway. That means we need to do our best to make it as entertaining as possible...!)
Count Otori
“It produces an absolutely abhorrent sound! It would most certainly cause me to vanish from this place if you were to ring it!”
Honami
Oh, that's right... I've heard somewhere before that wedding bells are supposed to ward off evil spirits and such...

So, I am sure you will have no trouble!”

I was nervous about being in an improvisation show... But I'm glad we agreed to do this...!
Mizuki
Oh yeah, I was thinking.
Did you know that you're supposed to ring the wedding bell three times?
Did you know that you're supposed to ring the wedding bell three times?
Honami
Yes. Once for the betrothed, a second time for their parents and a third time for everyone in attendance.
Honami
The two getting married ring the bell to show everyone their gratitude for joining them in this blessed celebration.
Mizuki
I know this isn't a real wedding, but I'm happy I got this chance to hang out with all of you today. So, I wanna do something to thank you for inviting me.
Emu
I wanna ring it too!
I'm really glad that you all decided to come enjoy the fair today, so I wanna thank you somehow!
