Does Shirahoshi marry Vander Decken?

Answered

The answer

Chapter 618 · updated

Shirahoshi does not marry Vander Decken. Shirahoshi directly rejects his proposal by stating she finds him unsuitable as a partner. ch. 618, p. 6 Her brothers intervene during a later confrontation to block any possibility of marriage, declaring that Vander Decken will not be permitted to wed their sister. ch. 638, p. 12 Vander Decken repeatedly attempts to force a marriage through threats and proposals across multiple encounters, yet Shirahoshi consistently refuses and the story shows no union occurring. ch. 618, p. 6 ch. 638, p. 11 The sources establish only his obsessive pursuit and her explicit rejections without any resolution involving marriage. "You're not my type....!!" ch. 618, p. 6 "Shirahoshi is our beloved sister!! You are not laying a single finger on her, Decken!!!" ch. 638, p. 12 "IF YOU THINK WE'RE GONNA LET YOU MARRY SHIRAHOSHI, YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING!!!" ch. 638, p. 12
