The high ranking priestess was named Tsurumi. She had been serving the shrine maiden for a long time and it turned out that she was actually familiar with the giant elder. Kitsune had already told her why Elena was getting invited so she was curious how Elena knew about the giant elder.

Elena told her the story of her trial for the gates of Valhalla. It turned out that the giant elder had not contacted the Inazuyan Archipelago for more than a few centuries so they were not aware that he had managed to become an elder of the giants.

Tsurumi looked happy after learning that the giant elder was doing fine. She wanted to tell Elena about how she had met him but there was not any time for that.

While listening to Elena's story, they had already reached the room where the shrine maiden was about to meet her. So she told Elena that she would tell her the story at a later date.

After entering the room, Elena found herself in a well decorated room. There was a short table at the middle of the room and cushions were put around it for the people to sit. Shrine Maiden Kitsune was sitting calmly on one of the cushion while sipping green tea from an extremely well made ceramic cup.

Seeing everyone entering the room, she signalled them to also sit down. Elena and Kizuna sat side by side opposite to her and Tsurumi joined the other high priestess beside Kitsune after pouring Elena and Kizuna two cups of tea.

Elena picked up her cup and took a small sip. She had realised that this tea was special just from the smell it was giving off but after taking a sip, she was even more impressed.

She felt as if a bolt of lightning was running inside her mouth but in a good way. And after she swallowed the tea, she felt that various thoughts about the lightning element appeared in her mind. Obviously for Elena they were not very useful. But if there was someone else here, than that person would have benefitted immensely from this tea. It was useful even for demigods.

Kitsune noticed that whatever Elena had received from the tea was not useful to her. This did surprised her a bit as she had expected her to be a recently advanced demigod. But then she remembered that Elena was the person who had assisted the other demigods against the Thunder Destroyer Guild, so it looked like she was stronger than the normal ascenders.

Kitsune then smiled at Elena and introduced herself. She did not say more but just her name and position. Elena also introduced herself in the same way.

Then Kitsune finally started asking her about the giant elder. Elena had learnt quite a bit about him when she was staying with the giants, so she was able to tell a lot of things about him to Kitsune. Kitsune also told her how she had met with him.

Elena had first expected that Lady Kitsune might have some romantic interest toward the giant elder but that turned out to not be the case. She definitely liked him but as an elder. Her affection for the giant elder was like that of an caring aunt.

From the conversation between the priestesses, Elena learnt that there was actually a different priestess who was in love with that giant elder even to this day. She had not came out for this party and was still in the shrine.

The other priestesses and even the lady shrine maiden were relieved to know that the giant elder was still unmarried. Then they suddenly started to plan a way to send that stubborn priestess to the giants as a bride.

After participating in the conversation so far, Kizuna had managed to understand the whole situation. She immediately proposed that she could use her money and authority to take priestess Saki under her command and then could contact the giants through Elena for a marriage talk. This immediately excited everyone present here including Elena and Kitsune.

The Shrine Maiden would have sent that love struck idiot to the giant elder way before but she was not aware of where the elder currently was. Now that she had finally managed to find some news about him, she was ready to immediately take action.

Just like that, the gossip between the lady turned into a massive plan that would connect both Inazuyan Archipelago of Valhalla and the Giant's city in the Mortal realm.

...

A few days after the grand party of the Shrine Maiden, the whole Inazuyan Archipelago suddenly got a new happy news. One of the high priestess was going to soon get married.

High priestesses getting married was definitely not a small matter but it was also not a big enough matter to spread throughout the whole Inazuyan Archipelago.

Then why was this incident becoming famous so quickly ? The reason for that was obviously the insane information spreading capability of Kizuna's business organisation.

Not only that but the giant's were extremely well known in Valhalla as they had been guarding the gates for the longest amount of time. So one of their priestesses marrying a giant elder was definitely something super exciting.

Even this was not all. One another reason why this incident became so famous was because people, especially the ladies absolutely loved the story of lovers reuniting after hundreds of years. This made all the ladies to fantasize about their own fate of having such a romance.

Just like that, this marriage became a big deal that made the celebrating Inazuyan Archipelago even more festive. Elena also decided to stay here until the marriage was over.

...

Various clans of the Lightning Phantom Demons had different methods of marriage. The giants also had their own method. The most common thing among them was for the bride side to go to the groom's side and to be welcomed there.

But the giants proposed something else. All the other elders were dissatisfied that one of their member was such a pussy that he was unable to declare his love for such a long time. So they all decided to bring him to the Inazuyan Archipelago to apologise and then to bring the bride home.

As Elena would also participate in the marriage ceremony, Escora also decided to visit the Inazuyan Archipelago with the elders. Her mother, sister and aunt also wanted to visit but the elders rejected their idea.

So just like that, the century long reunion of bride and groom had also became a reunion for Escora and Elena.
