Makoto's POV. Grand Narukami Shrine. Three Days after the Traveler Arrives.

It's been three days, since the Traveler has set foot on these lands. How did I know this?

The Statue of Seven, it resonated with someone else. Someone not from this world, resonated with the power of Electro.

Though I am not an Archon anymore, I am still aware of what is happening, even if I am occupied here at the Grand Narukami Shrine.

iko: Makoto, you already knew, right?

Makoto: Yes. The Traveler already set foot on these islands.

Miko: And now, he is currently helping the Yashiro Commission to give comfort to those who have lost their Visions.

Makoto: *sigh*

Makoto: 99 Visions, already taken......in a span of a year.

Miko: !?

Miko: You knew that much!?

Makoto: Of course. I'm still watching over Inazuma.

Miko: *sigh*

Miko: You were just the same as ever.........

Makoto: Fufu.

Makoto: About the request for exorcism that you received a while ago..........

Miko: Ah, yes. The Master of the Meikyou Shisui Art.

Miko: One of the people who recently lost their Visions.

Makoto: The weight of losing one's ambition.........

Makoto: Why would Ei, do that?

Miko: For the sake of her ideal, Eternity.

Miko: Though you and Ei are twins, you two are still different from one another.

Miko: You are the god of transience, who valued every single moment. While Ei on the other hand, always worried for the future, afraid of change...........

Miko: But right at the center........

Miko: There is Akihiko.

Miko: One who value transience, who knew what change could bring and was welcome of it.

Miko: Yet, he still remains calm despite all of the changes.......he still remains the same.

Miko: He knew that change could actively shape the future. A better future........

Makoto: That's why he worked so hard........

Makoto: Thanks to him, we wouldn't be able to get this far.

I immediately sensed people coming at the shrine. So I quickly donned Akihiko's cloak, raised my hood, put on my mask, and act like the mysterious shrine maiden.

Our visitors for today.......let's see......

A young man and a woman with swords hanging on their waist, a middle aged man who is on the state of madness........

And then........a young man with braided blonde hair......and with him is a floating little girl.......that girl......wait.......that girl........

Is she a weakened god? I mean, I can sense divinity from her.......but I guess it won't matter.

But nonetheless..........it seems like this is the Traveler that Miko was talking about.
