The party started with the priestesses bringing in a lot of foods. The first half of the party would not be graced by the presence of the Shrine Maiden. This would also be the part where the main drama would take place.
No one would do something like this in the second half. That was because no one wanted to bring something worthless like this before the esteemed Shrine Maiden. So Elena and Kizuna did not need to wait for too long before the confrontation between the two merchants and the corrupted officials started.
In this party, the corrupted officials were supposed to finalize the date and amount of the Thunder Jade that they were going to deliver. But now with no jade in their hands, they all had no idea how they should buy more time.
