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?

"I don't want incompetent people. Get out of my party right now!"... more>>

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.

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!
The three girls who used to be part of the hero's party came to see Kagura, who had been exiled in high spirits.

"If Kagura-sama isn't with us, there's no reason for us to be in that hero's party!"

Jiang Zhao snorted coldly:

“Don’t be so naive, Xiao Siye, we’re both adults, so what if we slept together once?”

Not long after, Jiang Zhao opened his eyes again after a hangover, and his body was sore.

Xiao Siye was also sitting next to him, and looked at him with a leisurely look:

“What about when you slept together a second time?”
