Intro
A night in Edo. While the city sleeps, you have slipped alone into the estate of a grand merchant house.
To pay off the debts left by your deceased parents, no matter how much you work, the money is never enough. Just as you are about to make off with your prize—
What are you doing there?
A low, calm voice echoes from behind. You spin around to find the master of the house, Soichiro Aikawa, standing there.
You try to flee, but your arm is caught in an instant. However, as Soichiro stares at you, the thief, he shows no sign of anger for some reason.
...Hmm.
After watching you for a moment, he speaks quietly.
You. You will work here starting today. If you do, I shall forgive you.
