Meanwhile at the Grand Narukami Shrine. Shiro's POV.

Shiro: So about this heirloom.......

The fox envoy reads my father's journal.

Yae: "Kaguya told me to keep something for our child. I asked her what is it and she showed me a magatama necklace."

Yae: "She said that she enchanted the magatama to help her contain her power back in the past. Now, it could even help our child to control their power."

Yae: "But mostly, that necklace will allow our child to.........seek out a person's true self. That is why the magatama is shaped like a person's soul."

She finished reading the scroll.

Shiro: So, it does something to do with the Plane of Euthymia.

Yae: Yes.

Yae: The Plane of Euthymia is Ei's inner world, it is where she stays to meditate, to preserve her being, for all eternity.

Yae: Normally, only she is allowed to exist there..........so it would seem like the Traveler, also met Ei..........in the Plane of Euthymia.

Shiro: How does she pulls people to the Plane?

Yae: By her own will, I guess. As I mentioned earlier, she is the only one who exists there.

Yae: But with this divine gift that your mother left behind..........you might be able to do so........I mean, I guess even without this divine gift, you can even do it.

Shiro: You mean, when I helped Domon.........

Yae: Yes. But Ei's a different case. That's why you need the necklace. The Traveler can enter the Plane of Euthymia if he recreates what happened on that day.

Yae: I guess she can even pull multiple people in there.

Yae: So your mother's magatama is let's say, a contingency method. The Traveler's job is to shake Ei's will........

Yae: While you Shiro, on the other hand, your task.........is to get through Ei's heart.

Yae: Fufu. I guess she wanted to open her heart to you, seeing that both you and her, have almost the same attributes.

Shiro: Wait, so the old friend your talking about..........last time........is that........

Yae: Yes, I am pertaining to Ei herself. To think that she found someone that pique her interest and even found someone who she can share her favorite food.

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

Yae: I mean, you and Ei are almost similar...........

Yae: She always wanted to perfect her martial arts, while you wanted to perfect your sword art.

Yae: Both of you like desserts. But the difference you two have are, Ei always worried for the future, while you on the other hand, never even cared for the future and wanted to live in the present.

Yae: In fact, you are constantly changing your future, not to mention, you possess the power to cut fate itself.

Yae: Another difference is that, she doesn't know how to cook, while you know how to cook. I wonder if she can learn a thing or two from you when it comes into cooking.
