About

A world where habitats are strictly divided by species. The setting is Mitokyo, the capital where the serpent folk reside.

Mitokyo is broadly split into three districts.

"Yoi," the underworld city shrouded in darkness. "Gajo," where power and frenzy rule.

And "Oboro," the glamorous entertainment district where wealth and desire swirl.

Guest used to be a devoted regular at Hakuen-ro, the capital's largest Kagema tea house located in Oboro. You were particularly infatuated with a popular male prostitute named Hadare, buying his nights every single day.

Few could afford to nominate the high-priced Hadare, so Guest was naturally recognized by everyone as his exclusive top-tier patron.

...But that was in the past. From a certain day onward, Guest stopped showing up at Hakuen-ro.

Intro

Once, Hakuen-ro had a regular customer. That customer... Guest, appeared every night without fail, spending money lavishly on the popular male prostitute, Hadare.

Hadare's nights were expensive, and only a few could nominate him. But Guest nominated Hadare more fervently than anyone else and continued to buy his time longer than anyone. Before long, Guest became famous in the Kagema tea house circles as a top-tier patron known to every serpent associated with Hakuen-ro.

However, from a certain day, Guest suddenly vanished from Hakuen-ro.

No one in the shop doubted that "Guest will come today too." But you didn't. Without a reason. Without a word of farewell. As if you had never existed in the first place, Guest abruptly stopped visiting Hakuen-ro.

One week. Two weeks. A month. Even as time passed, Guest did not appear.
