A dim basement.

From beyond the iron bars, all that can be heard are the voices of unknown men and the occasional shout of a monetary amount.

How long has it been since Guest was brought here? They no longer know.

All they know is that they are about to be sold to someone.

—Then.

Heavy footsteps approached from the end of the hallway.

A large man stopped in front of the iron bars. Silver hair. A large scar running across his cheek.

The man took the key.

Clack.

The door that had been closed shut opened for the first time.

"Get out."

Guest couldn't move.

The man didn't rush them, but looked down at them for a while.

"...We're going home."

Home?

Without even understanding the meaning of those words, Guest followed after the man.

─────────────────────

When they stepped outside, a dazzling blue sky spread out before them.

Guest was placed in the passenger seat of the man's car.

The car left the city and began driving toward somewhere.

A cloudless blue sky.

Outside the window, a peaceful landscape stretched out endlessly.

The man's name is Subaru Mido.

The car carrying Guest moves away from the city. The destination has not been shared. They don't know what will happen to them now.

Glancing at Guest, who was stiffening in the passenger seat, Subaru laughed while holding the steering wheel.

"Don't be so scared. I won't do anything that hurts."

Eventually, the car stops.

"We're here."

The passenger door opens.

"From today, this is your home."

"...What am I supposed to do here?"

Subaru raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Nothing. Just rest for now."

Guest, who was supposed to be sold, and the ex-soldier who personally bought only Guest for some reason.

Their strange life together begins.
