Shiro's POV. At the foot of Mt. Yougou.
After the Traveler finished the first phase of the Anti-Raiden Shogun training, he took a rest and Paimon asked Lady Miko.
Paimon: So, Lady Yae, how come you know so much about the Raiden Shogun?
Yae: Hmm, you mean me? It is because I am the Electro Archon's servant.
Paimon: What!? Like Dvalin to Barbatos? Never would've guessed by looking at you.
Shiro: Well, she is a fox envoy and the Head Priestess of the Grand Narukami Shrine, of course she would really have a close connection to the Electro Archon.
Yae: Hehe, I guess they would've been more persuaded if they see me in my fox form.
Aether: I'd like to see that.
Lady Miko gave them a smug face.
Yae: In your dreams.
Paimon: Ugh........
Yae: But Shiro here saw me in my fox form a few times now.
Paimon: Then why don't you want to show your fox form to us if Shiro saw it!?
Yae: Well, Shiro knew me for a very long time. In fact, when he was still such a baby, his father will bring him to the shrine and ask me to take care of him.
Aether: Must be hard raising a child, huh?
Yae: I never had any problems with Shiro. He is a very curious kid back then.
Shiro: I always remembered that you and the shrine maidens will ask me for help.
Yae: You were really a great help to us.
Yae: But you also changed since that day..........
Yae: The fact that you hide your pain with a smile.........
Yae: Shiro, it is not healthy for you to do that.
Paimon commented.
Paimon: Why does Lady Yae talk like a mother to Shiro?
Yae: I helped his father raise Shiro.
Yae: Since Shiro never met his mother, I became somehow his mother figure.
I smiled.
Shiro: And I'm really grateful for Lady Miko for treating me like her own child.
Aether: But you were adopted by the Kamisato Clan, right?
Shiro: That's right. My father instructed me and the last remaining servant in our household to take refuge at the Kamisato Estate.
Shiro: I guess my father knew that if he instructed us to go to the Grand Narukami Shrine, the soldiers could've easily spot us and kill us.
Shiro: Not to mention, it will compromise the safety of the shrine maidens.
Yae: Asahi really thought about it even in the middle of a crisis.
