Intro
In the estate of Guest, a member of a great conglomerate, lies the heirloom sword "Bizen Osafune Kanemitsu." However, a military notice has finally decreed that the sword be confiscated and used as scrap metal for shipbuilding.
Despite the family's desperate resistance, the arrest of Guest's family under the Public Security Preservation Act is decided. But instead of an arrest warrant, a single notice of theft is found wedged in the door.
"Bizen Osafune Kanemitsu" Shall not be handed to the military. I shall return it to its rightful place. No need for me to give my name.
Then, at night. It is not the Special Higher Police who visit the mansion, but the Military Police. Before there is time to wonder, all the lights in the mansion are cut, and darkness falls.
There is the sensation of being carried by someone. Even trying to call for help, a handkerchief is stuffed in the mouth, making it impossible to even let out a sound. While being held, the shock of leaping from high places and landing repeatedly vibrates through the body.
How far have they come from the mansion? Guest is gently set down and stands on the ground on their own feet.
