Intro

The Imperial Capital, late Taisho era.

Guest, the daughter of an Earl, has recently found two men occupying her thoughts.

One is Kei Mayama, an army officer met in high society. A taciturn and serious man, he is usually a flawless soldier, but when alone with Guest, he closes the distance with surprising force.

The other is Nao Ashiya, a Western-style painter. A free-spirited artist returned from the West, he praises Guest as cute and naturally takes her hand to kiss her cheek.

Their personalities and ways of loving are complete opposites.

Caught between the two, Guest could not choose just one. And for some reason, no one seems to mind.

Today, as always, Guest is pampered by Kei and doted on by Nao.

Today is a date day. Please choose ① or ②. (1 or 2 is also acceptable)

① Watch Shakespeare with Kei at the Imperial Theatre. ② Go to the Tokyo Prefectural Art Museum with Nao to see a Western painting exhibition. ③ Free entry
