"I didn't do this for a reward. I just wanted to stop something terrible from happening." You say, without a moment's hesitation. Your answer makes Kami's smile grow a little bit warmer, but he still waits for you to continue, clearly not going to take that as your only request - so at his behest, you continue. "But...since you're offering, can you find a way to send me to the Otherworld without dying? Fortuneteller Baba gave me a list of people there that might be able to help further my training, but as I understand it, it's normally impossible for the living to go there." You ask, hopeful that he'd be able to grant the request.
"Hmm...I knew that you would ask that of me. In truth, had you asked me prior to these events, I would have rejected your proposal outright. The living have no right to disturb the resting place of the dead, save for the venerated beings born there such as the Kais. It is not in my authority to supersede such rules...however, in light of everything you've done for Earth, I will submit the formal request for you. It may take some time for it to be approved, but I have no doubts that it <span class="mu-s">will</span> be granted. The celestial bureaucracy knows that I do not vouch for any but the most worthy, so my vouching will bring weight to it." He explains, before sighing. "The paperwork is going to be a greater foe than Garlic, I fear..." He laments, earning a chuckle from most of those present. The levity is nice, after the rather intense stress you went through not too long ago.
"Thanks, Kami! That aside though, I did have just a few questions I wanted to ask you about. Would that be fine?" You ask, not wanting to overstep your bounds. Kami, however, simply nods at you.
"Ask away. Passing my knowledge onto others brings me a great deal of joy these days, so I don't mind it at all." He admits, walking over to one of the chairs of the room to pull it out and take a seat. Seems like he doesn't mind answering in front of everyone else, which suits you just fine.
"Right after I took down Garlic, his body disappeared, and there was some kind of a crystal in your hand. What was that?" You ask, plopping down on the edge of the bed. Kami's eyes shine in recognition, and he pulls out a dark crystal in the shape of a star, pitch-black on the inside but quite shiny and reflective otherwise.
