The next day, there was a literal sea of mermaids outside of the shrine. According to the elders, there was only a small capacity who could be inside, and the rest would have to celebrate from outside the shrine area.
Hikari was glad she didn't make food for all of these people. She felt like it wasn't even possible, unless she cheated by using magic somehow.
An elder greeted the elf at the shrine's open door. "Lady Hikari, you may come inside. We've reserved the last spots for your group."
"Thank you. By the way, how are all of these people going to get notified about everything?"
"On top of the shrine, there's a device that allows us to communicate loud over long distances. Elder Daryu is already up there. Please, allow me to escort you inside."
