In Tsukimichi Moonlit Fantasy season 2 episode 14, the focus shifts to Makoto and Kahara's conversation, during which various details about Laurel come to light. Kahara questions Makoto about his knowledge of the "sage script," a secret language exclusive to Laurel, known by only a select few. She explains that the script is typically known only to sages.

The language is unveiled as a variant of Kanji, and sages are disclosed as individuals from distant lands, presumably otherworlders from Japan, with profound knowledge.

Kahara mentions that the characters in the Kuzunoha Company's sign are written in sage script, or Kanji, sparking her curiosity about Makoto's origins.

She questions him about whether he and the other two heroes are also otherworlders. Despite Makoto's denial, Kahara extends an invitation to Laurel and offers him protection as a sage, although he politely refuses the gesture.

The exchange between Makoto and Kahara sheds light on Laurel, a nation known for its insularity and secrecy. Makoto also recognizes subtle Japanese cultural and characteristic influences in Laurel, discerned from Kahara's demeanor and the information shared during their brief encounter.
