Shiro's POV. Grand Narukami Shrine. The night before the Vision Hunt Ceremony.

Shiro: So you're telling me that my mother's powers includes healing and divine protection?

I asked the fox envoy who is currently reading the journal we found a few days ago.

Yae: That's right. After all, Kaguya wasn't a god who wanted to fight, but she is not a weak god either.

Yae: With power all over the moon, she must be at the same level as Morax.

Shiro: What? But as far as I heard the Geo Archon is who they considered as the strongest among the Seven.

Yae: *chuckles*

Yae: Have you forgotten, Morax is 6,000 years old. He is strong because he fought and won many battles throughout history, even the Archon War itself.

Yae: As for Kaguya, she is around 4,000 years old. Not to mention, her authority, the power she possesses is something that one cannot take so lightly.

Yae: After all, the moon is important to the world. It maintains the tides of the ocean, provides light in the night and even inspires hope.

Yae: And that, is also a form of eternity.

Shiro: Eternity, huh?

Shiro: Lady Miko, since you have a close connection with the Shogun, can I ask you something about her?

Yae: Sure, go ahead.

She closed the journal and waits for my question.

Shiro: As far as I know and from what I heard, the eternity that the Raiden Shogun pursues is an unchanging land of eternity.

Shiro: Inazuma that is unchanging.

Shiro: Does she plans to keep Inazuma literally as it is?

The Guuji went silent as she sighed.

Yae: You haven't met the Shogun, haven't you?

Shiro: That's right. I refused to attend to the meetings of the Tri-Commission because I know that the Tenryou Commission will be present and I fear for the worse.

Yae: That someone from the Tenryou Commission might recognize you and that is certainly not a good thing. I know your circumstances.

Shiro: ...........

Yae: As for your question...........

Yae: Yes, she wants to keep Inazuma in a stasis.

Shiro: Stagnation, to prevent Inazuma from progressing and flourishing as a nation?

Shiro: That's not right. In the end, we are all bound to change...........all in this world are bound to change.

Shiro: And without change..........

Shiro: How are we able to grow?

Lady Miko went silent in my words as she smiled.
