After taking a shower and changing into pajamas, Tsunayoshi forced himself to endure the fatigue and sat on the bed waiting for his younger brother to come back. Reborn was also wearing pajamas on his own small bed, but he had been in this contemplative state for a long time.

"Thank you, Mom~" A sweet voice came from downstairs, followed by a few footsteps coming upstairs.

Miyin came back with a pot of water and three cups: "I wanted to get some midnight snacks, but it's too late to eat now, so I'll just drink some water."

He closed the door and sat down cross-legged at the low table in the room. The two of them immediately came over and sat down, looking as if they were going to listen to a story. Miyin poured some water, threw a talisman to prevent eavesdropping, and looked at them with a smile on her face, holding her chin.

"What do you want to start listening to?"

"What is Shinsengumi...?" Tsunayoshi directly asked the question that puzzled him the most.

"Originally, they were the ones who judged the gods and listened to their oracles...the ones who could hear the revelations of the gods. However, in this world, the gods have become the world consciousness. Because there are too many gods, both known and unknown, someone is needed to make the judgment."

"That person is you..." Reborn, not wearing his usual suit, seemed to have lost some of his presence, but his obsidian eyes were clearly visible. "How many Shinsengumi are there?"

"In this world, there is only one person, or rather, only one person is allowed to take on this role in a plane of existence. If there are multiple people, a position-swap battle will be required."

"Plane world..." Tsunayoshi swallowed, "You mean, there are many other worlds, right?"

"In the vast universe, there are countless parallel universes within the same world, not to mention other planes of existence... If we really want to discuss this issue, it's too far-fetched, so let's leave it at that. The same goes for matters concerning the gods; that's not something you can engage with."

Tsunayoshi, who was about to ask this question, immediately shut his mouth and sorted out his confused and fuzzy mind.

"When did you become a Shinsengumi?" Reborn asked.

"When I was four years old, the day before my father took me away." Miyin had no intention of hiding this fact and told the truth directly, "The agency that selects candidates is called the Time Government, and the selection criteria are the amount of spiritual power possessed... Anyway, according to them, my spiritual power is at the level of level one when I first arrived."

"Are there any levels for Shinsengumi?"

"There are four levels in total, ranked one, two, three, and four. Level one is the strongest, and there are only six people at the moment... seven, to be exact, because the top-ranked ones are a pair of twins, but unfortunately they've been missing for a long time."

"What about you? Where do you rank?"

"I'm fourth, and this is the result of four years of hard work." Speaking of this, Yayin laughed. "Actually, the ranking of current affairs is comprehensive. Those who can make the list are those who can complete missions well and ensure completeness, and manage their own honmaru well. The strength of the Shinsengumi itself is not important... Well, among the group of people I know so far, only the fifth-ranked one is not very powerful himself, but he is a talent for assassination and has completed the missions with the highest degree of completeness."

"Can you tell me about this group of people on the ranking? If it involves anything, forget it."

"It's completely irrelevant if you're just saying it. There are only six known first-level Shinsengumi. The first one, as mentioned earlier, is a pair of long-lost twins. They are immortals, and no one knows how old they are. Who knows what world they are traveling in right now? We're all used to their disappearances. As for why they're ranked first, it's simple: their Honmaru number is 1, the first Honmaru established at the beginning of the Tokizheng era. According to their older brother, they were suddenly captured by Tokizheng while traveling, and that's how they got their name. I only saw them once, when I was a child, and that brother even gave me a camera, which is quite useful."

"The second-ranked one is a Yin-Yang master, Honmaru number 31. His name existed in many planes of existence, but now he just wants to enjoy his retirement. And because he is in spirit form, he has an infinite lifespan. He gave me a lot of talismans and taught me some basic Yin-Yang techniques. In my impression, he is more like a kind young man."

"Ranked third is the king of a country in their dimension, Honmaru number 156. After his death, he was reincarnated as a slime and founded the current country. I heard that he has now become one of their eight demon kings. We have a pretty good relationship."

"The fifth-ranked one was mentioned earlier. He's a killer with a great talent for assassination, but his main job is a teacher, specializing in educating the delinquent. His Honmaru number is 1100. We've been in contact more often through the terminal."

"The sixth one is a true demon king, Honmaru No. 6, but he has been missing for a long time, and none of us have seen him."

"Number four is me, Honmaru number 7209, the record-breaking youngest Shinsengumi in history."

Tsunayoshi was so shocked that his eyes were about to burst: "You were only four years old at that time! You must have been the youngest! The current politics are so unethical that they actually use child labor!"

Compared to his own foolish apprentice, Reborn has more to consider: "Can the Shinsengumi travel through different worlds?"

"Then you need to hold a black card or a red card, which is a mission letter and a pass, and it looks like this." Miyin stood up and took out a black machine from her bag. It looked like a game console, and took out two cards from the card slot on the back and placed them on the table.

Apart from the fact that the two cards are exactly the same in color and have a golden flower printed on them, it is impossible to tell what kind they are.

"Generally speaking, Shinsengumi don't interfere with each other and live in their own worlds. Unless they're tasked by the government or have a pass from a Shinsengumi from that world, they won't casually enter another's world." Seeing Reborn's concern, Yaon explained, "So don't worry about outside Shinsengumi causing trouble. Even a position-switch battle is rare, unless a Shinsengumi is Shinagaku or corrupted." Meeting Tsunayoshi's worried look, Yaon immediately added, "I definitely won't be Shinagaku! Everyone voluntarily forced me to take an oath, so it won't happen. Don't worry."

Tsunayoshi's expression brightened slightly, but he remained dignified. This information alone was enough to digest for a while, and this was only the tip of the iceberg...

"What about current affairs? Can you tell me?" Reborn continued to ask, determined to figure out everything now.

"Their organizational structure is much more complex, and different countries choose different personnel. From what I understand, they collect swords from their respective histories, select Shinsengumi, and correct history altered by the Time Travel Army. As for the origins of their enemies... it's currently unknown. Jizheng is an organization that manages time and space and historical corrections. The spy left in each Honmaru is a little fox shikigami. My own is probably asleep now, so I'll show it to you next time."

"Who are your subordinates? They are the subordinates of the Shinsengumi."

"Actually, you've all seen some of them." Miyin said with a smile, "The group of people working as the front desk staff at Luna are actually a group of sword-wielding Tsukumogami."

"No wonder..." Reborn had always felt that this group of people were not like ordinary people, and it turned out to be true.

"What about the outside consultant? Also, what does the previous heir mean?" Tsunayoshi couldn't digest all the information in his brain, so he just crammed some more in. He felt like his newly grown brain was going to be ruined again.

"That's much simpler." Miyin picked up the cup and drank half of it directly. He had just said so much at once, so he should let him calm down first. "After being taken to Italy by my father at the age of four, he took me directly to the Ninth Daemon and said that I was his chosen tenth generation successor. The Ninth Daemon probably nodded in agreement at the time for the purpose of observing me. After that, I rescued Luca and Gaya, who are now Yanagi and Tong from next door, and they became my direct subordinates. Later, Xanxus learned about some things, and the Ninth Daemon revoked my qualification as successor to calm his anger. Then my father took me away to join the outer advisor, but Xanxus still caused the Cradle Incident, and then there was silence for eight years." At this point, Miyin suddenly felt a little nostalgic: "In fact, they all know that I can't become the tenth generation of Vongola. Even though I am excellent in all aspects, I lack the most important thing."

Yayin raised her head and looked at Tsunayoshi who was sitting next to her. Their honey-brown eyes met hers with a serious expression.

"I can be anything but the sky."
