Shiro's POV. Grand Narukami Shrine.

As usual, I went to the Grand Narukami Shrine because of my work for the Yashiro Commission.

And I'm currently talking about it with Lady Miko.

Miko: Summer is just around the corner.

Shiro: Except for the Nagonohara Fireworks Show, I guess we can hold a festival that is somehow related to summer.

Miko: Hmmmm, how about a festival to commemorate your mother?

Shiro: No one knows about the godhood of my mother.

Shiro: Also, haven't you read the note on my father's journal?

Shiro: He said that he wanted to keep my mother's greatest secret to the rest of Inazuma and the world.

Miko: Hmmm........

Miko: But no one knows you are Kaguya's child.

Shiro: But still, I want to respect my father's wishes.

Miko: If that's what you want.

Miko: Hmmm, speaking of celbrations.......

Shiro: What is it?

Miko: I think you might be forgetting something.

Shiro: Your birthday is tomorrow, right?

Miko: I already know you have a gift for me.

Shiro: Maybe I should eat all that fried tofu with Ayaka.

Miko: No, no, no.

Miko: Huh? Is that the thanks I get for raising you as if you were my own son?

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

Shiro: Lady Miko, get to the point.

Miko: All right. But seriously, you didn't know or you never knew?

Shiro: Get to the damn point.

Miko: She didn't even bother to tell you?

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

Shiro: What in Teyvat are you talking about?

Miko: *sigh*

Miko: Ei.

Shiro: What about her?

Shiro: If you're asking about my relationship with Ei, we're going strong.

Miko: That may fall apart because you forgot, or wait, no. You never even knew from the start.

Shiro: ???

Miko: Today is her birthday.

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

Miko: ...................

Shiro: Okay.................
