The once wealthy and powerful Ryuuzen clan has been all but destroyed. Their misfortune began in 1960, when a majority of the family was wiped out when their vacation villa was buried under a landslide. However, search and rescue teams discovered something even more shocking: A majority of the bodies they discovered showed obvious signs of having been mu*dered before the landslide.... more>>

As though it were a trigger, what came to be known as "The Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan" spread throughout the descendants of the family's only survivor. By mu*der, by su*cide, by accident... it seemed none who held the name "Ryuuzen" could live to see the age of 35, and now, the family has been reduced to a single woman, lying in a hospital bed, days away from death.

Kamo Touma was once just another of the endless parade of sleazy tabloid journalists looking to exploit a prominent family's tragedy to sell magazines, but Ryuuzen Rena's kindness melted his frozen heart, driving him to quit his old job and become an investigative journalist specializing in overturning cases of false arrest. Eventually, he and Rena were married, but now, the curse threatens to steal away their happiness.

Kamo prays for a miracle, and his prayers are answered by the Hourglass of Miracles, an artifact spoken of in rumors and urban legends, said to grant one wish to anyone who obtains it.

"Meister Hora", a guide for those who obtain the hourglass, tells Kamo there is only one way to break the curse and save Rena: He must travel back in time to the year 1960 and catch the culprit of the original Ryuuzen Family massacre.

Who was the culprit of the mu*ders that took place almost 60 years ago? Why did they steal away the lives of the Ryuuzen clan? What is the true nature of the "Curse of the Ryuuzen Clan?" And perhaps most mysteriously of all... What is Meister Hora's goal in all this?

The protagonist, Kagura, was shouted down by the hero and was told he was fired. The hero's party consisted of Kagura, the hero and three girls.

Even though he knew the lowly inner thoughts of the hero, Kagura still accepted the fact he was fired.

Kagura was a knight of the church.
Because of his position, he could not quit on his own, but it was natural for him to stay in the wild and eat preserved food. He was fed up with the harsh journey of defeating the Demon King and the constant lack of sleep because he was always on guard duty.

Fired? That would be great!

I'll take this opportunity to quit the church, get my severance pay, and then take over the family business and relax!

Excerpt from the preface of 『Holy Sword Legend』.

My childhood friend, Magali was chosen as a saint.

From now on, it seems that she has to keep smiling to everyone in the capital, and has to live in a terrifyingly strict world that has things like manners and dance.

We’ve been together since birth. As expected, there is something left in my mind.

While feeling a little lonely… I held down my childhood friend who no matter what was trying to escape and turned her over to the knight who came to pick her up.

「Alistaaaaaaaaaaaaar!!」

I could hear a resentful voice, but that was probably my imagination.

I was taken along to the capital to see her off as a last struggle… but, it ended without any problems.

「Now, I’m going home. Good luck ^^」

I turned my back to my childhood friend who looked at me with resentful eyes. And when I was on my way home… I was being chased by goblins.

「Noooooooo!! Someone help meeeeeeeeeee!!」

This is a misunderstood legend of a hero and saint with the worst personalities that’re pulling each other’s leg while pursuing a happy life. <<less
