'@Mkprovince but then this 'rightful' means the 'true owner' or a 'just owner'?? To me since it says 'owner' too, its the first one. '

Let me reword my reply a bit. If you go simply with just the Japanese 正当な所有者, it's "rightful owner". As in the one who has met the requirements of ownership. The Japanese wordings make it sound like the artifact will only come into the hand of the one it finds worthy. Example? Take King Arthur and the Sword In Stone! That's why I was thinking that it was actually waiting for a player to show up as one of the possibilities. That would also mean that there's no other players aside from Ainz in the New World or else why would this thing be sitting there all this while. Any sane player would have charged head first into obtaining such a grand artifact. Well, unless they are either dead or absolutely insane that they don't care anymore. There's also the possibility of a hidden requirement or something but it's so vague anything can happen; like you have to be an Overlord... right, enough with the sleep talk.

The Mandarin 真正的所有者 does have the "rightful" meaning to it. The wording only put more emphasis that nobody else can have it but there can be a slight different alteration to the meaning because of the emphasis it carries. It can also be said as "the one true owner". This makes it sound like the owner is still out there somewhere and he left the thing there just because he wants to antagonize anybody who tries to take the artifact? Why? Just because nobody else but the owner can touch it! Imagine the possibility of the item locked for eternity if the owner died. Yes, a game would have just nulled the ownership but we don't know just how many of the system remains unchanged. It should have been 正当的所有者 to be closer to the original Japanese meaning without the chance of misinterpretation. I know the case of the World Item that old hag carries but I really don't have much information to work on! With the ratio of two to one and the meaning of "rightful" being the two, I would recommend sticking with "rightful" and not "the one" for now.

I don't quite remember where the sentence come from. Is it the one that happened when Blue Rose and Climb were getting chubby at the bar? I wanted to check on something concerning the person who actually saw that artifact.
