Chapter 49: The Rightful Master Comes

"What are they telling you?" Isabelle asked, noticing the change in his demeanor.

"Another Tachibana clan journal?" Isabelle inquired.

"No... this particular journal has been passed down through generations of the Tachibana clan. It contains the history of how the Tachibana clan came to be," Sam explained as he began to read the journal aloud.
