About との
との is a compound particle made up of the case-marking particle と in its quotation use, and the case-marking particle の. Effectively, this marks the previous statement as a quote, before の then indicates that the whole statement is an attribute of the following word. In many cases, this will simply be translated as ‘that’, or ‘to’.
As always with the quotation use of と, it will appear after almost any word, and may or may not be separated from nouns and な-Adjectives with だ.
