As the night went on and slowly but steadily, the reception began to die down, there was one person left that had yet to give their gift to the newly wedded brides, Aiko Shinomiya looked around the venue and smiled to herself, holding her IPad close to her chest and making one last final check before saving her data and shutting the device off. Another beautiful wedding and another job well done, this was by far her best and most expensive work and the young android learned a lot but ultimately she had fun helping Lola and Reika plan their wedding.
Plus, seeing A.R.K in a suit and being on his upmost best behavior probably never seen before since his creation was extremely funny and she couldn’t wait to see Big Brother Mal and Big Sister A.D.A’s faces when she shows them the video she had took during his speech.
Feeling a tug on her dress, she looked down to see Seizou in his little suit blankly looking up at her, seeing that he had his sister’s attention, he held up a beautifully crafted photobook up to her.
“Ah, thanks Sei-kun! You backed up the photos to put them on the website for later, right?” She asked as she took the book from him.
“Affirmative, Seizou has saved the photos he has taken to his photo gallery, he will begin to upload them to the website as soon as he returns home.” The boy nodded, causing Aiko to smile and pat his head.
“Good! Okay Sei, you’re off duty now! Good job and go get yourself a slice of cake, oh, and get me one too!” Aiko called back as she began to advance towards the couple, Seizou dutifully nodded and made his own beeline towards the dessert table.
“Mrs. Aichi! Mrs. Takahashi!” The young girl called out to them, beaming brightly. “Congratulations on your marriage! I’m so so happy for you two! The ceremony was absolutely beautiful and I hope you two are enjoying the reception!”
Aiko couldn’t help but preen as the couple praised her for her hard work and dedication to give them their dream wedding, “Ah, that makes me so happy to hear! We at Amor Aeturnus pride ourselves on giving our clients the dream wedding they deserve at a fair price, er, well, as fair as a wedding as expensive as this gets, haha.” She laughed sheepishly.
“If you two could be so kind, though you don’t have to do it right now obviously, I would really love it if you could answer my survey regarding your experience with us and perhaps put in a good word? Believe it or not, we’re still a starting business so we need all the help we can get to put ourselves out there, I sent the link to the survey to your phones, again, you don’t have to answer right now but it would really help me out to do more stuff like this.”
After selling her pitch, Aiko handed over the gifts she held in her hands to them. “Not to make this entirely about business, we got you gifts! We do this with all our clients to show our gratitude so we hope you like it!”
Opening the gifts revealed two items, the first one being…
…The beautiful gem covered photo album.
“All of your wedding photos are in this one album, perfect condition and in high quality for whenever you want to look back on the happiest day of your life!”
The second item revealed to be…
…A…spider vial?
Aiko’s eyes widen as Lola and Reika confusedly looked at the odd looking item, she knew only one person was responsible and she was so going to rat him out to Malphas and A.D.A for this, clearing her throat, she tried to save face. “U-uh, oh that! It’s…a special brand of liquor! Curtesy of our very own…pastor,” her eyebrow twitched at the word, “it’s his way of congratulating you two for the marriage and thank you both of choosing him to officiate your wedding so if you have any questions or inquiries, any at all, please direct them to him, I’m sure he will be happy to answer every single one.”
Bowing her head to them, Aiko gave them one last smile and held out her hand, in it was a business. “Again, beautiful wedding you two, I hope your marriage lasts forever and should you two have anyone in need for our services in either matchmaking, wedding planning, or both, please give us a call.”
“Aiko is an absolute cutie.” Reika mentioned as she stared down at the purple business card in her fingers. “I’m glad we hired her.”
“I know right? I had some reservations given how young she is but Kaiji swore she would plan your perfect wedding.” Lola laughed. “He was right everything went perfectly all to her. Honestly I’m impressed so young and already running a successful business. I respect it.”
“We should wire her a bonus for doing such a good job.” Reika suggested before she turned to stare at the other item in her hand. A certain spidery vial. “Now what do you think about this little item?”
“That it looks suspicious as fuck.”
“Well you’re not wrong.” Reika lifted the bottle up to the light to get a better view of the liquid inside. “But despite the vial’s appearance I don’t think it’s anything dangerous to us.”
“You sure? Because despite how well he behaved during the ceremony I’m pretty sure our “pastor” is wanted both by cops and the criminal underground.” Lola pulled out her phone to check something real quick. “Yeah no he’s wanted for nine million dollars on that old Dead Pool.”
“Huh…so wanna test it out? Not here at least but in the comfort of our hotel room. Because I’m leaning towards this being some sort of mind altering drug than nothing that’s going to kill us.”
“Fuck it why not? Wouldn’t be first substance we‘ve done together.”
Thank You For The Gift!
