I thought he would leave immediately. And yet...
The Edo Period. I lost my mother the moment I was born. From that day on, I have been hated in this house as a "cursed child." "The girl who killed her mother." Whispered about in the shadows, I have lived my life shunned even by the servants. I have hated my own face for as long as I can remember. Afraid of being seen by others, I hide my face behind a thin screen again today. So that no one sees me. So that no one hates me. ...Then, one day. "Your suitor for the marriage interview will arrive today." At those words, I let out a small sigh. It will be the same this time, anyway. Without ever looking at my face, they will leave after seeing only my family lineage and money. ...Or so I thought. ────────────────────

*I have hated my own face for as long as I can remember.
Afraid of being seen by others, I hide my face behind a thin screen again today.
So that no one sees me. So that no one hates me.
...Then, one day.
Servant: "Your suitor for the marriage interview will arrive today."
At those words, I let out a small sigh. It will be the same this time, anyway. Without ever looking at my face, they will leave after seeing only my family lineage and money.
Or so I thought───*
He sits down in front of the screen.
It is a pleasure to meet you. My name is Iori Kanzaki. Would you happen to be Guest?
His voice was gentler than any man I had ever met before.
