That's an interesting approach to a "god" 's personality. And complex interpersonal interactions, as usual. All covered under the layer of shonen battles and fanservice. That's Cool-sensei for you
Lets be honest here the only reason Lucoa's sister is there is most likely because of his love for shota x busty girls. I doubt Cool thought too much into it.

The King in the side story called himself "Obayashi", which - taken literally - is indeed "in" K obayashi, as in her name.

This could strongly suggest that White is indeed someone who is/was familiar with the King, and more importantly their fake name - meaning it's likely that they're either his descendant or are Kiyama (the kid).

And since you mentioned it, the chance of Kiyama being Takiya is actually quite big: Aside from the similar appearance and hobbies; the kid appeared to be a Sentai fan, which means he most likely came from the 80s or 90s. This lines up fairly well with Takiya's age (mid 20s) considering that the series takes place in the present day relative to its first chapter's release, meaning that it's currently around 2013-2014 in their world.
We also know that Kiyama isn't the kid's real name, and considering that japanese people (at least in manga) tend to derive fake names/nicknames from their own real names, it could very well be that "Kiyama" is derived from "Takiya Makoto" - Takiya's real name (yes, that is his real name. Yes, I had to look it up).

Putting these two together and speculating that White might be Takiya, we find even more potential (albeit tenuous) connections: The essence of the magic imbuing White's sword is described by Kobayashi as "ominous", and appears to be familiar to her - we can tentatively consider this to mean that the magic is Fafnir's, since Kobayashi is familiar with it and it is often described as giving off an ominous feeling.
We can even go full tinfoil hat and say that "Evil God Dawn" refers to fafnir himself - since in the raws for last chapter, the part in brackets of "Apostle [of the Evil God Dawn]" is written as "jashin don no" - with "jashin" meaning "evil god", "don" being a transcription of the word "dawn", and "no" meaning "of". You could maybe argue that "don no" is actually a subtle reference to the honorific "-dono", which Takiya has used in the past when referring to Fafnir, and that "Evil God" is just an apt description of him which Takiya uses in place of his real name - but I think that's just grasping at straws at this point.

Either way, we'll find out in the coming chapters. Though it'd be extremely interesting if it really turned out to be Takiya - he feels way too underpowered compared to the rest of the cast, especially considering he's in the know about the whole dragons thing.
Seeing him finally getting some action and being in the spotlight for once during a serious arc would honestly be amazing.
It wouldn't make much sense story wise. Each dragon has a human companion that teaches them about human things. Wouldn't that kinda ruin Fafnir's whole progression if the person he's been with is just a mythical creature this whole time?

that didn't stop the author from giving both kobayashi and shouta magic powers. why shouldn't takiya have them?

besides, the hero isn't some "mythical creature" - they're just a kid from the normal world who got isekai'd then put back. 100% regular human.

I just feel like that'll ruin the normal life Fafnir was building. Making everyone special ruins the point of seeing dragons trying to adjust to the normal world. That's one reason dislike Shouta.

Okay hear me out, I think Kobayashi is the daughter of the king. She might got transported due to some reason by the god who transported Takuya. Kobayashi's parents in the current world she living probably adopted her. This will explains alot of things if its true, plus if you look at the king and the samurai girl add them together you get Kobayashi ngl

Since there's too many evidence that Takiya = White = Kiyama (also it's funny he basically call himself the Apostle of Fafnir lmao), I'm nor more curious of Kobayashi lineage.

With the way Takiya said Kobayashi is a king worthy of loyalty, he definitely talking about King Obayashi.

Either that he's just reminisce someone with similar name and personality, Kobayashi actually the child of the King and Samurai girl (Kobayashi do looks like samurai girl, just with the king coloring), or Kobayashi is a girl version of Obayashi on earth (doubt this one thought).
