How about Chapter 89?
How about Chapter 89?
Even though he desperately wanted to escape the scene, Xiao Guang couldn't look away at this point.
This blue pendant, apart from being slightly different in shape, is almost identical to my little stone.
"I...I am..."
Xiao Guang was somewhat speechless. He had a lot to say, but when it came to his lips, he couldn't organize his thoughts.
Takita's heart skipped a beat. He quickly forced himself to calm down, changed his tone, and, holding Hikaru's shoulder, said, "My name is Hagoromo Takita. Can you tell me your name? Your real name...?"
As Takita spoke, he secretly released a little of his chakra in an attempt to calm the other person down.
Hikaru didn't know what chakra was, but he suddenly felt a particularly warm and comfortable sensation...
Feeling a little more relaxed, Hikaru nodded silently, then reached into his pocket, pulled out the handkerchief, and handed it to Takita...
"Hmm?" Takita subconsciously took it, opened it, and glanced at it.
"...!?"
"Y-you-you! Hagoromo? Hagoromo Kouta? You! You're Hagoromo Kouta? How is that possible?!"
Takita could hardly believe his eyes. This name... he had seen it in his family tree. It was his older brother, whom he had never met and who had died a long time ago!
Looking up at Hikaru again, Takita felt more and more convinced that it was probably true... that his older brother was not dead?
Now that things had come to this, Takita couldn't possibly let Hikaru go back like this. Although his mind was a complete mess, and this whole thing was far too absurd, he still retained a sliver of reason...
"Come on! Let's go back to our clan's territory..."
As soon as Takita went up, he took Hikaru's hand. Although Hikaru was very nervous and couldn't think straight, he could feel a familiar and warm feeling from Takita for a moment.
Is he really his brother from the Feathered Robe Clan?
If so... then how should I conduct myself? Should I admit that I am a member of the Feathered Robe Clan? But... I have never met these people before; everything is too unfamiliar and too distant.
"No, young master... we can't bring suspicious people into the clan's territory..."
Whether the gatekeeper ninja had poor eyesight or was a bit slow on the uptake, his first reaction was to stop Takita.
Takita stopped in his tracks, then burst into anger.
"Are you blind?! Are you out of your mind and have bad eyesight? Did you even see his face clearly? When you were bullying him just now, did you even look at him properly?!"
The barrage of attacks left the man completely bewildered, and only then did he take a closer look at Xiao Guang's face.
Although Xiao Guang's eyes were darting around and his expression was somewhat aggrieved, and he looked disheveled, there was something in his eyes...
Now that he understood, he felt his scalp tingling... and dared not speak up to stop him anymore.
Takita was really angry, inexplicably angry.
I initially thought it was just a matter of bullying a commoner kid, which was rather ungentlemanly. But now, the other party is no ordinary person at all! His own brother has come to the door, wanting to go home, but he's being blocked at the door and bullied by this group of clansmen!
Although the sudden arrival of his brother left him unsure how to accept the fact, he understood one thing very well: he had to bring him home first!
We'll talk about what happens next!
......
Xiao Guang was in a completely "disconnected" state the whole time. He didn't know how he ended up in the Feathered Robe Clan, how he met this boy who might be his brother, or how he ended up in his room...
At this moment, Xiao Guang sat in the chair, his fists clenched tightly, extremely nervous.
Takita sat opposite Hikaru, equally perplexed, completely unsure how to handle this unexpected situation...
"that..."
"Um..."
This is the fifth time they've tried to find a topic to talk about, but... they still fail.
Although Takita was 90% certain that the other person was probably his brother, after all, his appearance, the token in his hand... and the mysterious bloodline connection were all things that Takita could see and feel.
But... he still found it a little hard to accept.
He had always been alone since childhood, but now he suddenly had an older brother... It wasn't that he hadn't thought about whether he would have a brother, but his father had said that all his brothers had died young.
And... actually, Takita really wanted a younger brother.
"Um..." This was Takita's sixth attempt.
"Um..."
Xiao Guang's current state is like, "Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?"
He had inexplicably been brought to the territory of the Feathered Robe Clan. Although their origins were the same, he had just been about to give up, but now, by some twist of fate...
She was rescued by a boy who was suspected to be her younger brother.
He had never experienced such a complex emotional state in his life. Coupled with the passing of his grandfather, his already troubled mood became even more chaotic.
Takita sighed silently to himself... Well, this stalemate can't go on forever.
"I am Takita, uh... this is my room, ah, I am the son of the head of the Hagoromo clan, and then..."
Takita wanted to slap himself. He had only said a few words that were nonsense, incoherent and without any core message!
He was the son of the Feathered Robe Clan Chief, so what about the other person? Wasn't it obvious? The tone made it seem as if... the other person was a complete stranger.
That's certainly true for now... but he shares the same blood as me, he's the brother I've always dreamed of having.
Now that his dream has come true, and he's sitting right in front of him, his tone of voice is only pushing him further away...
Xiao Guang just kept nodding, not knowing what to say to him.
"Sorry, I'm bad with words..." Takita shook his head vigorously, then composed himself and said to Hikaru, "Shall I take you to take a shower and change your clothes first...?"
Xiao Guang looked up, his eyes brimming with tears, but he held back from crying.
He didn't want to embarrass himself. He was a little older than the other person, but he was still just a little boy. The many changes that had happened to him made it difficult for his little brain to process such a huge amount of information.
"Okay..." Xiao Guang replied softly, without any particular thought.
"Then come with me..."
Takita observed Hikaru's clothes and saw that he was extremely poor... He wondered where he came from and what kind of life he had lived before.
But it's not appropriate for Takita to ask right now... Everything will have to wait until his father returns before a decision is made.
Takita took out a set of clothes that were very clean and neatly folded from his closet and said to Hikaru, "Although... well, we're about the same size anyway, why don't you wear mine for now?"
Takita noticed that, apart from his simple clothes, his build was similar to his own... Judging by his age, he should be more than a year older than him, right?
"Okay..." Xiao Guang replied simply as always.
Normally, if someone offered him such beautiful clothes, he would have refused with great trepidation. But now his mind was blank, and all he could say was "okay"...
And...Takita seems so gentle. He always asks himself "Is this okay?"...
Takita finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his older brother was obedient and didn't cry or make a fuss, otherwise Takita would have been at his wit's end. He had used all his patience and gentleness.
After all, they are rare brothers, so we should cherish them!
The two walked one after the other into Takita's bathroom. After Takita patiently explained for a long time, Hikaru finally walked into the bathroom blankly...
Hearing the rushing sound of the water, Takita immediately collapsed onto the sofa; he had done his best.
"So tired..."
Lying on the sofa, Takita started having wild thoughts. He'd gone out for a short trip and ended up bringing home an older brother? Good heavens...
Speaking of which, if I had an older brother... wouldn't I be able to openly go to Yan Yi? As for family matters, having an older brother would be so much better!
After all, with an older brother who can carry on the family line, she wouldn't be forced to separate from Yan Yi!
"Ah...wait..."
Takita suddenly paused, cursed himself inwardly, and then quickly dismissed his outrageous idea.
Although he has a brother, this seems like an attempt to shirk responsibility, and... the burden of inheriting the family business is too great.
I can't just think about my own happiness and push the burden onto this brother who knows nothing... That's too much.
