I thought about using my teleportation ability to make things easier, but there were too many people with me, so that wasn't possible. I don't think it's possible to teleport that many people at once.
We had to walk to the first location.
It wasn't too far from the building we were in.
"Wow, the exterior is beautiful." The place looked very similar to a church—the perfect spot for a wedding. As soon as we entered, we were greeted by a spacious hall.
It was definitely a suitable place for a wedding, especially if some chairs were arranged here. But the problem was… the building had two floors, and the second floor was like the VIP section of a nightclub.
An ideal spot for the rich to look down, watching the poor dance in the chaos below while sipping an expensive drink.
I looked around and asked, "That place up there, what is it?"
"This area used to be used for auctions. Normally, special guests would stay upstairs."
"So it really is a VIP area."
"Something like that," the woman said with a smile. "But I don't think it's a bad thing. You could use the second floor as a section for special guests. Offer better food and drinks."
"No, that won't work. There won't be any special guests at our wedding. Everyone will be treated equally, even if they're a god." Hestia stepped forward firmly.
"Hmmm… then maybe this place isn't so suitable after all."
"It's still a very suitable place. Let's check the other available locations for the ceremony. If we don't find a better one, we can use this building. But I'll need to make some renovations here."
"Well, if it's just rented, you won't be allowed to renovate—"
"If necessary, I'll buy the place. Money isn't an issue."
"Of course! Let's go check out the next location right away!" the woman said with a wide smile.
Besides being a fan, she clearly realized I'm a client she could "drain" for a lot of money.
Well, that's her job.

Hours passed, and night finally fell. We finished visiting all the available venues for our wedding. After seeing them all, we told the woman that we'd make our decision tomorrow.
We planned to talk it over during dinner.
"All right. Will you be coming in the morning or the afternoon? It's just that I work the afternoon shift, and I'd like to be the one attending to you," the woman asked, looking directly at me. She wanted to see me again.
"We can come in the afternoon," I said, smiling and nodding at her.
She grew excited and even started bouncing a little. "I'm really looking forward to tomorrow!" After saying that, she said goodbye and left.
"She's really cheerful, isn't she?" Lili said.
"She makes me uncomfortable. I don't know why…" Mikoto seemed suspicious of her.
"She was only acting that way because Luan was here. She's definitely fallen for him too! Why are you such a womanizer?!" Hestia complained, punching my arm.
"Is it my fault for being handsome and famous?"
"Yes, it is!"
I couldn't hold back my laughter and patted Hestia's head. "Yes, yes, I'm a womanizer." After messing up her hair a bit, I said, "Let's head back now. I need to prepare dinner. Who's going to help me today?"
"I can help if you'd like," Haruhime volunteered.
I had never seen her cook before. I was curious.
"All right, then Haruhime will help me today," I said, feeling excited.
Seeing how eager I was, Hestia grabbed my shoulder and pulled me down.
"Don't try anything stupid," she whispered in my ear.
There she goes again with her unnecessary jealousy.
####
We returned to the mansion, and I headed into the kitchen with Haruhime to prepare dinner together. I decided not to make anything too fancy, since I wasn't even sure if she knew how to cook. Meat and pasta would be enough.
"Could you cut the meat while I handle the rest?"
"Of course." Haruhime picked up the meat, still partially frozen, and began cutting it. I had forgotten to take it out of the freezer that morning.
I expected her to struggle, but she sliced through it with skill and ease.
Smiling, I carried on with the rest of the preparations and began cooking.
To my surprise, Haruhime was actually well-versed in cooking. She knew all the spices, the best ways to prepare meat—everything. In the end, she did most of the work.
Once we finished preparing dinner, we brought everything to the table and called the others.
When everyone was seated, I sat down as well and asked, "So, what do you all think?"
As soon as I asked, Hestia began talking.
And once she started, she didn't stop.
She listed all the pros and cons of every place we had seen.
We all listened, and once she finished, we started discussing every location. We needed to decide both on the ceremony venue and the wedding reception venue.
By the time dinner was ending, we had reached a conclusion.
####
The next day, we returned to the beautiful building to meet the same woman. We went in the afternoon, just as she had asked. When we entered, she greeted us with a big smile.
"So, have you made your choice?!" she asked eagerly.
"Yes, we've chosen, but we'll need to make some renovations."
"So you've decided to buy both properties?" she said, even more excited.
"Yes. I don't have the money with me right now, but I can go fetch it quickly. Hestia, can you handle the paperwork?"
"But you don't even know the exact price yet!" Hestia said.
"Oh, right." I gave a bitter smile.
