They bowed to each other. "Hello Lady Guuji thank you for letting my family use the Shrine to have my ceremony," said Hiro politely. "It's our pleasure, Lord Hiro. The Narukami Shrine has always been open to those in need. The other clans have already arrived, please follow me and I will guide you all to the ceremony site." Yae said, leading them inside the shrine grounds.

The ceremony site was a beautiful clearing there was also an ancient fox tree called The Sacred Sakura. The sunlight streamed through the leaves, casting a pattern on the grass below. A small altar had been set up, adorned with flowers and burning incense. The shrine maidens had already begun to prepare for the ceremony, lighting lanterns and setting out offerings. The clan leaders came to greet them, each offering their own words of encouragement and blessings. 

"Lord Hiro I hope you're prepared for this moment," said The Elder clan leader. "Of course I am," Hiro said. "As a new leader of the clan it is important that I take this step forward" he added. The ceremony begins as Yae steps forward, chanting ancient prayers and offering incense to the Electro Archon. The sound of her voice is melodious and hypnotic, carrying through the air like a soothing balm. As she continues, the other shrine maidens join in, their voices blending in harmony.

Momo exchanged glances, feeling a sense of pride and admiration for her brother. She had always known Hiro to be strong and capable, but this ceremony was a testament to his leadership and character.

"Matsumoto Hiro please come forward," Yae said. Hiro walked up to the altar, bowing deeply as he approached. He then kneeled before Yae, lowering his head in submission. The crowd hushed, their eyes fixed on this display of respect and humility. Yae placed her hands upon his head, granting him her blessing. As she did so, a feeling of warmth and serenity washed over him, filling him with a sense of purpose and determination.

Sayuri felt a swell of emotions as she watched Hiro receive the blessing.

"Hiro, do you the new leader of Matsumoto Clan hereby accept this blessing and the responsibilities that come with it?" Yae asked him. "I do, Lady Guuji" he replied. "Very well, then. I present to you the sacred scroll of the Matsumoto Clan, which holds the knowledge and wisdom of your ancestors. As the new Clan Leader, you must protect this scroll and pass its teachings down to future generations." She placed a small wooden box into Hiro's hands, which contained the scroll.

The ceremony continued with more prayers and offerings, followed by the official recognition of Hiro as the new Clan Leader. As the final rites were being performed, a great sense of accomplishment and pride filled Hiro's heart. He turned to his sister and fiance. He saw the looks of admiration and love in their eyes. They had always been there for him, supporting him through thick and thin, and he knew that they would continue to do so in the years to come.

"Bring the dowry" Yae ordered to one of the shrine maidens, who immediately bowed and left the ceremony site. She returned with a large wooden box, adorned with intricate carvings of cherry blossoms. It was the dowry for Hiro's bride-to-be, Sayuri. The dowry symbolized the Matsumoto Clan's acceptance of Sayuri into their family and their trust in her to carry on their traditions.

"Honma Sayuri please come forward" Sayuri walked up to the altar, feeling the excitement and nervousness. She bowed deeply and kneeled before Miko, expressing her gratitude for the blessing and trust the Matsumoto Clan was placing in her. 

Yae then presented her with the dowry box, which contained a selection of precious items, As Sayuri accepted the box, she felt a weight of responsibility settling on her shoulders. She knew that she would have to live up to the expectations of her family and the Matsumoto Clan.

"The Wedding for Hiro and Sayuri will be held here on July 10th. It will be a grand occasion, celebrating not only their love but also the joining of two great clans. In the meantime, Both Clans will continue to support and guide you both as you prepare for this new chapter in your lives. Remember, the strength of between clans lies in the bonds between them, and it is those bonds that will carry them forward."

"Sayuri and I are truly honoured by your generosity and trust, Lady Guuji," Hiro said, his voice filled with emotion. "We will not let everyone down. We will work tirelessly to uphold the traditions of the Matsumoto Clan and ensure its prosperity for generations to come."
