One night has passed after we arrived at the Autumn Village and morning has come. Kikyo has joined us, and we are heading to the Field of Resurrection Lilies.
"Is this your first time to visit the Field of Resurrection Lilies, [Y/N]?" Kikyo asks me.
"No, I remember my father taking me there when I was little, but it's been a long time since then, so I don't remember it very well." I answer.
"The Field of Resurrection Lilies is literally covered with tons of lilies as far as you can see." Rindoh says.
"And the lilies bloom all year round with withering." Kikyo adds.
"Wow..." I say.
"It's said to be the closest place to heaven in Yamato Island and people see ghosts there sometimes!" Rindoh says.
"Although both Rindoh and I have never experienced such things before." Kikyo says.
"Really? I've never heard that before. [Y/N], if you could see a ghost, who would you want to see?" Shiroya asks me.
"You mean who I want to see out of the deceased people? Hmm..." I steal a glance at Kaito.
Kaito probably knows my answer already. Then I'd better just tell my honest answer...
"I'd like to see Lady [Y/N] the First, then." I answer to Shiroya.
"I would also like to see my ancestor." Kikyo says. "I have heard it many times that my ancestor was a very respected person."
"Kikyo, your ancestor is Lord Goyo, right?" I question to Kikyo. "He came to this island from a foreign land, and served Lord Yoshitsune Minamoto."
"Yes. I respect Lord Goyo greatly. Admire him, really."
"Ancestors, huh." Rindoh says. "I'm not so thrilled to meet mine."
"Really? Why?" Shiroya asks. "It sounds exciting to meet Lord Benkei."
"I'm kinda afraid that guy, who was notorious for being serious, is gonna lecture me for being irresponsible." Rindoh admits.
"So you are at least aware of your irresponsibility." Kikyo tells Rindoh.
"Yup, I am responsibly irresponsible!" Rindoh exclaims.
"You shouldn't be proud of that, Mr. Rin." Shiroya says.
"Haha." I chuckle.
While we are chatting around, Kaito, who had kept silent for the whole time, snorts in disapproval.
"It's such nonsense." he says. "I have no interest in meeting my ancestor."
"Kaito..." I say softly.
Kaito turns away and starts walking at a fast pace.
"Kaito..." I say again.
"This topic wasn't a good one apparently." Shiroya says.
"No, I guess not." Maybe I should have avoided talking about our ancestors. I didn't mean to make him upset, though. Sorry, Kaito.
Staring at Kaito's back, I let out a sigh quietly.

Though having been attacked by Ayakashi on our way, we manage to get to the Field of Resurrection Lilies in one piece.
"Wow..." It is so beautiful!
As I am fascinated by the bright-red resurrection lilies spreading all over the field, Rindoh pats me on the shoulder.
