Echizen Ryoma sat there with the old Patriarch Takeuchi, and the grandfather and grandson chatted for a while, and the content was nothing more than the trivial matters of life over the years, as if there had been no conversations that made Echizen Ryoma puzzled.

The aged old man is still in good health, far from needing help, but he still raised his hand and propped himself up on the table: "Ryoma, come and help me to the worship hall."

"……Ah good."

Echizen Ryoma seemed to have noticed that the old man had something to say to him, so he had a rare temper and helped him up.

The two walked to the worship hall on one side step by step, and then the old Patriarch Takeuchi took two steps forward and took down a wooden sign from above.

"Dragon Horse."

The old Patriarch Takeuchi held it with both hands, as if he was treating something very important, so Echizen Ryoma also took it with both hands.

He didn't know what it was, but he could tell that the pattern in the center was almost exactly the same as the imprint of his clan, which was a pattern of daffodils.

"...What the hell is this?" Echizen Ryoma wanted to figure it out.

"This is the patriarch's order of our Takeuchi family." The old man shook Echizen Ryoma's hand and answered his doubts: "The daffodils on it are our family emblem."

"Ryoma, you should be very curious, why this family emblem is so similar to your clan's emblem, it can even be said to be exactly the same."

Echizen Ryoma never thought that the old Patriarch of Takeuchi would know one thing, but he would not be too surprised by it after thinking about the past period of time.

He nodded, admitting that this was something he was wondering about.

"There is actually a reason why you were chosen by the stone plate." The old Patriarch Takeuchi patted his hand lightly, and led him to the high platform where he was enshrined.

He came back first: "Kneel with me, old man, for a while."

Echizen Ryoma looked at him, then at the wooden tablet in his hand that was said to be the decree of the Patriarch of the Takeuchi family, and slowly knelt down beside him.

Both of them were silent for a while, and then the old Patriarch Takeuchi slowly opened his mouth, continuing the topic just now: "Do you want to know the reason, Ryoma?"

"……Um."

He really wanted to know.

"From the perspective of the outside world, the Takeuchi family may be an ancient family with a long history, which has a certain reputation and prestige in Japan." The old owner of the Takeuchi family described the current status of the Takeuchi family in a calm tone.

However, Echizen Ryoma couldn't hear anything special, until the other party said the next sentence, a kind of reverence suddenly appeared in his tone: "But few people know the true identity of the Takeuchi family."

"The Takeuchi clan has existed from the very beginning to serve the gods!"

"..." Echizen Ryoma couldn't find anything to say when he heard this.

Although he has now accepted the Dresden stone plate, the king, the outsider, and various non-human worlds, but now his grandfather told him that their family is a family that serves the gods...

The Sanguan, which was originally shattered into dregs, was now crushed into ashes again.

"The so-called Takeuchi is a god attendant who serves the gods..."

"God servant..." Echizen Ryoma repeated his words in a low voice, and raised his own doubts: "Then, which god is he serving?"

"What does it have to do with me being the king?"

"That Highness chose you, Ryoma..."

The old Patriarch Takeuchi patted his grandson on the shoulder, and unfolded a scroll for him, with a picture mounted on it, and the picture on it was a black-haired woman wearing a daffodil crown and a black robe: "Yes our god."

"..."

Looking at the woman's face, Echizen Ryoma inexplicably felt very familiar, but he was very sure that he had never seen her before.

The boy looked at the woman's lifelike eyes, and subconsciously looked back at the old Patriarch Takeuchi: "Who is she?"

The old man bowed reverently to the portrait, then opened and closed his lips, and the words that he said made Echizen Ryoma's eyes widen.

……

When the boy got off the Shinkansen, his head was still in a daze, and he didn't come back to his senses until he saw the strange scene in front of him.

Echizen Ryoma shook his head, temporarily throwing out the "truths" that he heard from the old Patriarch Takeuchi today that was too much information.

He can't be troubled by this kind of thing all the time when he comes to Bingsheng Town this time, he should go back and think about it if there is anything else!

Thinking of this, Echizen Ryoma also took a deep breath, and quickly adjusted his mood.

"Here is Binsheng..." Echizen Ryuya put his hands on his younger brother's shoulders and touched his chin: "It doesn't look much different from the one in Tokyo!"

"...So why did you come here too?" Echizen Ryoma glanced at the young man who looked so similar to himself, and lightly patted his hand off.

Echizen Longya also took his hand back indifferently: "I'm just looking at someone absent-minded, I'm afraid something will happen if you come alone."

"Really, Xiaobudian doesn't understand my thoughts at all."

As he said that, he shrugged his shoulders and acted like I was very sad, making Echizen Ryoma's throat choke. He just gave him a blank look, then turned and walked towards the location displayed on the terminal.

The two brothers of the Echizen family followed the navigation to the Sawada house, and saw a blond man in dirty overalls and holding a hoe standing at the door.

The two brothers looked at each other, and both saw the vigilance in each other's eyes.

Sawada Iemitsu also turned his head because of the sound of footsteps, looked at the two people behind him who he hadn't seen before, and after a while, he showed a smile: "Hey, two little brothers who haven't seen each other before!"

"What's the matter with coming to my house?"

"your home?"

Echizen Ryoma tilted his head. Tsunayoshi Sawada had shown him a photo of everyone taking a group photo together, but this uncle who looked very sloppy was not among them.

After thinking about it, he still decided to pass the other party, and he saw the open door before even ringing the doorbell. It seemed that Anna Kushina or Tsunayoshi Sawada sensed his arrival.

"You're here, Ryoma..."

Sawada Tsunayoshi nodded to Echizen Ryoma, then looked past Sawada Iemitsu who saw him happy, and met Echizen Ryuya: "Welcome, Ryuya-kun."

"Excuse me!"

Echizen Ryuya didn't have the consciousness to come over without saying hello at all, and immediately nodded to him: "Sawada, who is this uncle? Do you know him?"

"Cough..." Sawada Iemitsu coughed softly, "I am..."

"I don't know." Sawada Tsunayoshi interrupted his next words, shook his head and answered Echizen Ryuya's question: "Maybe he went to the wrong place."

"No, I'm..."

"Ryoma, Ryuya-kun, come in quickly, Anna is waiting inside." Sawada Tsunayoshi opened the door a little wider to allow the two of them to come in.

After they walked in, the boy was about to close the door: "Wait...wait! Gang!"

Sawada Tsunayoshi tilted his head slightly when he heard the words: "Sir, what can I do for you?"

"I'm……"

"……Honey!"

The man's words were not finished yet, because Sawada Tsunayoshi went to open the door and did not come back for a long time, so Sawada Nana who came to see him covered her mouth in surprise after seeing him.

"Nana~!"

Sawada Iemitsu, who was going to explain to Sawada Tsunayoshi, saw his long-lost wife, his eyes lit up, and then he hugged her, but was stopped by his son: "Wait a minute."

Sawada Tsunayoshi stood in front of Sawada Nana, turned her head and said softly, "Mom, do you know him?"

"Although it's not good for me to say that, don't be fooled by strange men."

The title of "a strange man not known by his son" fell heavily on Iemitsu Sawada's head.

In fact, Tsunayoshi Sawada really didn't do it on purpose this time.

The last time he saw Sawada's family light was when he was five years old, and the other party left home after that, and he became the king again, and followed Guochang Road Dajue to Tokyo.

After so many years, although he knew the existence of Iemitsu Sawada, he could not remember his appearance clearly.

Moreover, Sawada Iemitsu dressed so strangely that he regarded the other party as a "strange man" trying to get close to his natural mother.

Seeing Tsunayoshi Sawada looking at him so vigilantly, Iehiro Sawada would be lying if he said he was not sad, but he also knew that Nana Sawada's words were more effective at this time: "Nana..."

"Ah, Tsuna-kun..." Sawada Nana looked at her husband, then at her son, and gently patted his shoulder: "This is daddy?"

"……dad…"

"dad……?"

Echizen Ryoma and Echizen Ryuya carefully sized up the three people in front of them. If Tsunayoshi Sawada looked a little like Nana, there was nothing like Iemitsu Sawada at all.

However, they forgot that they were obviously not the same parents, and the two brothers were basically carved out of the same mold.

Sawada Tsunayoshi frowned and looked at Sawada Iemitsu for a while, and finally, under the persuasion of his mother, he slowly moved two steps to the side, but his eyes were fixed on the other person, in case he did something bad .

If his friends are the ones he wants to protect with all his strength, then Sawada Nana is his reverse scale, and no one can touch them.

So even when he saw the two of them sticking together like glue, he didn't intend to relax his vigilance at all.

The sound of gentle footsteps came from the house, and the girl in the red dress walked from the living room to the entrance, saw Echizen Ryoma standing there, so she sped up a little, walked over and took the other's hand.

"Dragon Horse."

Kushina Anna looked up at him, then at Echizen Ryuya beside him, and nodded slightly: "Long time no see, Ryuya."

"Well, long time no see, Anna!" Although he was only 16 years old, Echizen Ryuya, who was already 1.8 meters tall, bent down to cooperate with her.

The three people here greeted each other, and Tsunayoshi Sawada clenched his right hand and coughed softly: "Okay, mom, we still have guests."

"Ah, that's right!" Nana Sawada came back to her senses, and hurriedly greeted the two teenagers into the living room.

Forgotten, Iemitsu Sawada touched the tip of his nose, and exchanged a glance with Reborn who suddenly appeared on the shoe cabinet: "Ciaos, Iemitsu!"

"How does it feel to be forgotten by your son?"

"...Very bad." Sawada Iemitsu showed a wry smile at his friend who was gloating in his tone.
