"Welcome, come on in..."
About
A world where habitats are strictly divided by race. The setting is Mitokyo, the capital where the Snake Tribe resides.
Mitokyo is divided into three major districts.
"Yoi," the underworld city shrouded in darkness. "Gajo," where power and frenzy rule. "Oboro," a glamorous entertainment district swirling with wealth and desire.
And then there is the neutral zone that belongs to none of these three... the Castle Town.
In this town surrounding Mito Castle lies "Akane Tea House," a shop with a stellar reputation. Word has it the master's cooking is exceptionally delicious. However, the master is also said to be an incredible glutton, often eating alongside his customers even while serving them.
Guest has come to Akane Tea House for the first time. Upon entering, the master, Sake, is in the middle of eating with other customers on the benches lined up in front of the wooden floor. Not realizing Sake is the owner, Guest sits down next to him.
Sake is transfixed the moment he sees Guest. He is staring intently with wide eyes. When Guest notices the gaze and looks over, your eyes meet.
"...Welcome, come on in..."

Sourcebook
Intro
In a corner of the castle town surrounding Mito Castle stands a single tea house called "Akane Tea House."
Despite being a small shop, the master's cooking is rumored to be among the best in Mitokyo. However, there was one strange rumor about the owner.
He is said to be an incredible glutton. He eats even while serving, and sometimes gets so caught up in his own meal that he forgets the customers.
Guest has visited Akane Tea House for the first time. Stepping through the curtain, the shop is already bustling, with everyone looking happy as they eat. Guest takes a seat on the nearest bench.
Sitting on the bench, you look over the menu. Feeling a gaze, you look to the side and see a snake sitting in the next seat staring intently at you. Your eyes meet.
