After completing all the missions up to the matters in the Kingdom of Angendal, both of them returned to the Kingdom of Keldam. They rented a horse-drawn carriage to return. Their return journey took 3 days and 3 nights.
On their way back, they passed several roads. Normal roads until alternative roads such as mountain roads they'd passed. Disturbances from monsters to bandits they'd fought on the way. But all of that can be eradicated by both of them easily.
Twenty-four hours before the incident...
Early morning, 7th July 2223. 80 Kilometers before reaching the Kingdom of Keldam...
Currently, Adolph was asleep beside Nagao after staying up all night. On the other hand, Nagao is improving his stats by adding some stats that haven't been added from previous missions...

When Nagao was checking some notifications, he just remembered that he got some rewards from the Main mission until the previous rescue mission of Adolph...
(Duh! I just remembered that there are unopened rewards from a few months ago! Let us see what I've got here. Hopefully, those rewards are still there!) While scrolling through some notifications.
When Nagao found it, he pressed several notifications containing rewards from previous missions...
[Congratulations! You've got a storage. View more.] X2
(Storage??? Never mind, better read a bit first!) Nagao thought as he pressed the picture of his reward from this mission.
*Click!*
[Congratulations! You've got a storage. This storage can store every object belonging to the user. You've met the requirements for having storage:
1. Have completed more than double-digit side missions.
2. Have passed level 35.
3. Have completed two Main missions.
If you wish to give this storage to your friends or party's, they must meet these requirements.] X2
(Wow, what a Tough requirement! I thought it could be given for free.) While understanding the status explanation in his mind.
After finishing, Nagao immediately checked the reward from the Main mission. When he checked it, he got an attractive gift...
[Congratulations! You've got "The Black Egg" from your main mission. View more.] X5
(What reward is this???) Nagao thought curiously while pressing in the explanation of his reward status.
*Click!*
[Congratulations! You've got "The Black Egg" from your Main mission. This reward is a feature to summon materials, weapons, and even skills. For the level of Rewards to be obtained, Rewards will be chosen randomly with the following rate details:
1. Normal: 90%
2. Double Super Rare: 8%
3. Ultra Rare: 1.9%
4. Legendary Rare: 0.1%
Warning: to regain this feature, you must complete the mission at an equal value or above the level of your previous mission. As for every use once of this feature, you can only get one item. So, be wisely in using the rewards you've obtained.] X5
(I don't know why but even though I can't remember my past, the writing at the end provokes my feeling. Never mind, let us just try it once....) While using the feature.
After being directed by the system regarding the stages in this summoning process, Nagao began to do it despite the mixed feelings he had...
*Click!* *Click!* *Beep!*
[Loading. Please wait for a moment.] ⌛
A few moments later, a Fairly realistic black egg appeared before Nagao. The egg moved slowly upwards and stopped when it was at the same height as his eyes. Instantly, the egg moved until its eggshell cracked into two parts...
*Creak!* *Pop!*
From that activity, a game status window appears with a picture of a weapon that it has a caption...
[Congratulations! You've got "The Bloodlust Muramasa's Katana: Juuchi Yosamu" with Ultra Rare level. View more.]
(Holy shit! Once I tried, I'd got a "big Platinum-Fish" Reward?!! Is this called beginner's luck??! Shout out my lucky shit here! Oh shit!) Nagao's mind was filled with shock mixed with joyful.
Nagao immediately reads the status of his weapon...
*Click!*
[Congratulations! You've got "The Bloodlust Muramasa's Katana: Juuchi Yosamu" with Ultra Rare level.
When this weapon is used, the user can damage the enemy with 900 Attack Damage for one single attack and 1200 Attack Damage for one combination attack. The Critical Damage received by the opponent. View more.]
(What an insane status! It's the same as being able to kill a battalion of royal troops easily! No, this is called a Hax weapon!) Nagao thought in shock as he read the description of his weapon.
When Nagao wanted to read the full description of his weapon, he got a notification...
[The description of this weapon's status has been sealed.]
Not only notification, but several chains also appeared to seal his weapon's description. As a result, Nagao couldn't read the full description of his weapon...
(Shit! Why is this? Why did I can't read the full description?!!) Nagao thought angrily while pressing several times the description of his weapon.
Unfortunately, what Nagao had been doing earlier was in vain. A few seconds later, another notification appeared in front of Nagao...
[You're not allowed to read until using this sword for the time being due to some terms and conditions that must be fulfilled. If the user forces himself to do that, then the status of ownership until the weapon that has been obtained will be permanently lost.]
Receiving this kind of response from the system, Nagao became angry and said,
"At least tell me about the terms and conditions first, bastard! It's really a waste to use this feature if the result is like this?!"
Not long after he said that complaint, another notification appeared again in front of Nagao...
[To find out the terms and conditions for using this weapon is quite easy. You just need to gain level 100 to know that. Therefore, good luck to suffer, my servant's~! Signed
Your benevolent God :3 ]
Receiving that statement, the veins on his face and neck appeared suddenly. His eyes bulged. A deep red facial expression adorned his face. The grip of his hand clenched so hard that it cracked his knuckle bones. It was at this moment Nagao let his angry emotions out...
"BASTARD!! YOU FUCKING ASSHOLE GOD!!!" Nagao shouted thunderously.
By reflex, Adolph, who had fallen asleep until the jockey, was shocked uncontrollably because of it.
***
Twenty hours before the incident...
In the kingdom of Keldam, specifically, beside the Nagao's inn...
After arriving, both of them rushed into the inn. Nagao, who had been angered earlier, began to control his emotions. Adolph, who was still sleepy, went first to rest in Nagao's room. Nagao, who had asked Julia as the caretaker and innkeeper to look after his room during the adventurous missions, started paying her monthly fees also tips. The two of them chatted briefly before Nagao rushed back to his room. However, just taking a first step, Julia spoke,
"Oh yeah! I almost forgot!" she said as if she had remembered something. "The past few months, few Keldam troops came here to look for you. Did you cause trouble with them??" Julia asked in an investigated tone.
"Problem?" while striking a thinking pose. "So far until now, I didn't have a problem with them. What's wrong, Julia?"
"Really?? If what you're saying was true, then something's odd in here!"
"Odd??" asked Nagao with a puzzled expression.
"From the aim of the troops looking for you until the expressions they show as if they're chasing criminals!" while looking at Nagao. "Looks like you and Adolph are in danger!"
Nagao didn't expect what he heard from Julia's words. But her words cannot be taken lightly. Therefore, Nagao replied,
"Did you tell them about the two of us whereabouts earlier?" Nagao stared while making a serious expression.
"No-no! I didn't say that. Instead, I was just saying that you two have run somewhere for not paying my monthly rent,"
Hearing Julia's words, Nagao replied,
"Okay, for now, I believe what you said earlier!" while staring at Julia. "By the way, rarely that you wear a purple-long dress. You look elegant in it,"
Julia's face was suddenly surprised to hear Nagao's words. She immediately replied,
"Didn't expect your mouth to be sharp as well in sweet-talked," she sighed. "Surely you've often "practiced" it, isn't it?"
"Would you like to see the "progress" of it so you can judge "clearly"? Hmm?" Nagao stared up at her while raising his eyebrows.
"HAHAHA! You bastard, Nagao!" while moving her hand. "Go away!" While shoving Nagao away with both hands and laughing at the same time.
When Nagao returned to his room, Julia sighed again. Then, she went into the bathroom. When she was there, she took off her clothes and stood in front of the mirror without a single thread on her white body.
Julia immediately took a liquid and spread it on her body. Her sizzling facial expression is a sign that is often seen in front of the mirror...
*Aah!* *Ssh!* *Aah!*
After a while doing her activity, Julia took a few deep breaths and started looking toward the mirror. From the reflection of her mirror, there were many very long whip marks on his back. Not only that, but several bruises were also visible on her body.
She was angered when she saw all of that. Even she punched the wall several times until her knuckle hands were wounded. After she had calmed down, Julia said in front of the mirror as if she was talking to herself,
"My decision was right... I... will never sell my "customers" after what you guys did, you bastard Keldam!" Julia said in a tone full of anger.
