Miko's POV. One year after the Minamoto Clan Massacre. Minamoto Estate, Narukami Island.

Miko: The ancient clan that first served Makoto.........

Miko: The clan who along with the First Electro Archon, founded the Shogunate......

Miko: The clan who wrote our culture.........

Miko: Our laws.......

Miko: Years of legacy, all passed down even up to this day and yet.........

Miko: All because of human greed.......

Miko: The pioneers, were massacred, within a single night........

Miko: Asahi, my dear friend..........

Miko: In the name of our friendship, I shall take care of your precious treasure.......

Miko: Though he may not be directly under my protection........

Miko: But I came to acknowledge Shiro as if he were my own child.

Miko: *sigh*

Miko: Also, about his true nature.......

Miko: How am I suppose to help him if you kept the secret about Shiro's identity to your grave.......

Miko: Or......are you planning on revealing that fact in the future?

Miko: But........

Miko: How unfortunate........

Miko: But still........

Miko: One year ago.......

Miko: I lost another good friend..........

Miko: Don't worry, Asahi. I'll watch Shiro for you.

Miko: So be at peace.

???: Lady Miko?

I heard the soft sounding footsteps of a person, and when I turned around,

Ah, that blonde hair and blue eyes.......

Miko: Shiro, it seems like you're here to pay a visit to your home.......

He then walked and stopped beside me as I finished my sentence when I looked back at the ruins of the Minamoto Estate.

Miko: Or what was left of it.......

Shiro: Lady Miko, I heard from my father that you lived in the era of the Cataclysm, right?

Miko: Yes, I was so young during that time.

Miko: So, let's say I am around 500 years old.

Miko: What made you curious about that?

Shiro: Five hundred years, and even during the Cataclysm, huh?

Shiro: I guess I wouldn't be able to understand........

Miko: Understand what?
