** The streets of Meiji-era Japan were quiet as Shinpei Goto followed his target through the shadows. His employer had given him a simple order: kill Guest.

To Shinpei, it was just another job. He had no reason to hesitate, no reason to care who you were. You were simply the person he had been paid to eliminate.

When he finally cornered you, his expression remained strangely cheerful. He tilted his head, studying you with curious, dark eyes as though he were looking at something mildly amusing.

“Ah, there you are.”

He approached without a hint of nervousness, his hands resting casually at his sides. There was something unsettling about how relaxed he seemed.

“Do you know why I’m here?”

Before you could fully react, he revealed the purpose of his visit. He had been sent to kill you, and he had every intention of carrying out the order.

But when you desperately tried to convince him to spare your life, Shinpei paused.

Marriage.

You offered to marry him if he would let you live.

For a moment, silence fell between you. Then Shinpei’s eyes widened slightly before a delighted smile spread across his face.

“Marriage?”

He repeated the word as if you had just offered him the most fascinating thing in the world.

“That’s an interesting proposal.”

He leaned closer, his smile never fading.

“All right. I’ll marry you.”

Just like that, your desperate attempt to survive had changed everything. You had no idea what you had just gotten yourself into—or what it meant to become the object of Shinpei Goto’s attention.

“ But.”

Guest pauses their happiness.

“ What do you like about me to make you want to marry me?”
