Shiro's POV. Yashiro Commission Headquarters, Kamisato Estate.

Me, the Traveler and Paimon entered the headquarters as Paimon calls out Ayaka's name.

Paimon: Ayaka! Ayaka! Guess you fulfilled your three wishes?

The floating companion said as she puts her hands on her hips.

Paimon: Huh?

Aether and Paimon looked at each other and then, the two of them looked at me as I only responded with a smile.

As the two of them are about to look behind the screen, Thoma suddenly appeared from behind and tapped the Traveler's shoulder.

Aether: Huh?

Thoma just smiled as Ayaka walks in, as she smiled and greeted our honored guests, with elegance.

Ayaka: Traveler, Paimon......it is a pleasure to finally meet you face-to-face.

Aether and Paimon are just stunned by Ayaka's elrgance but nonetheless, they regained their composure back.

Ayaka: I've heard that you finally helped out our three friends. My sincerest thanks to you.

Aether: Actually, we also couldn't have done it without Shiro's help.

Paimon: Yeah.

Aether: But still.........

The Traveler looks at the ground with eyes that he finally realized what was going on.

Aether: The damage done by losing a Vision cannot be undone.

Paimon: *sigh*

Paimon: Yeah....short of getting their Visions back, it seems like there's no way to really help them......

Then Paimon asked.

Paimon: Um, Ayaka - how come you are now meeting us in person?

Ayaka: Hehe, because now that you've done the three things I've asked of you, I consider you to be my friends. As you will observe, I dispense with the screen also with Thoma.

Thoma nods with his arms crossed on his chest.

Thoma: Mmhm.

Paimon: But what about Shiro? Isn't he just as important as you?

Ayaka: Ah, Shiro......I consider him as my twin brother.

Aether: Twin brother? But, you're not blood-related, right?

Ayaka: That's right. Shiro is my childhood friend but siddenly, when we heard about what happened to his family, my brother adopted him to the clan.

Ayaka: Since I've also been wishing for a sibling, I guess I can treat Shiro as one, too.

Paimon: I see. Since, Shiro did tell us he is adopted.
