章 65: The Quest to Save Lily [7]

****

After obtaining his sword, Amon returned to his apartment, still not finding Lily on the street where they met anymore.

After returning, he settled down on his bed in his room and locked the door.

His sister still wasn't home yet but he didn't want to take any chances of her finding out.

Retrieving the box from his inventory, he displayed it on the bed and removed the lid.

And for the second time, he saw the sleek obsidian black sword before him.

He took it out of the box with utmost carefulness as if it was a priceless antique, wielding it in his hand.

He hadn't done it in the shop, but now he could finally do it.

He quickly knotted the nodachi to his outfit using the sageo before taking a stance.

Next, he gripped the scabbard in one hand and pushed the handle of the sword with his thumb, breaking the seal.
