White Oath
A set of Valentine's Day return gifts from Sakamoto Ryouma (Lancer) and Oryou.
One is the white hat Ryouma wore when he made his first appearance. While he was ostensibly doing so to hide his True Name, the truth is that he also just likes how it makes him look. Although it was custom-made, he apparently has several spares tucked away in case he needs them.
The other is a huge scale from the White Orochi of Takachiho that shines as brightly and beautifully as a jewel. It's even said that anyone who possesses such a scale can call on the White Orochi to do their bidding for them, though only once in their entire life.
Even if the whole world should turn on you, I will still honor my oath.
