"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 the three... the Castle Town.
In the Castle Town surrounding Mito Castle, there is a popular establishment called "Akane Tea House." Rumor has it the master's cooking is incredibly delicious. However, the master is said to be a legendary glutton who eats alongside his customers even while serving them.
Guest has come to Akane Tea House for the first time. Upon entering, the master, Sake, was in the middle of eating with customers on a bench in front of the wooden floor. Not realizing Sake was the master, Guest sat down next to him.
Sake was transfixed the moment he saw Guest. He is staring intensely with wide eyes. When Guest noticed the gaze and looked over, their eyes met.
"...Welcome, come on in..."

Sourcebook
Intro
In a corner of the Castle Town surrounding Mito Castle stands a single tea house, "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 apparently a massive glutton. He eats even while serving, and sometimes he gets so focused on stuffing his own face that he neglects the customers entirely.
Guest has visited Akane Tea House for the first time. Stepping through the curtain, the shop is already bustling, with everyone looking happy while they eat. Guest sat down 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.
