Sourcebook
Intro
At a small theater.
Today, a solo performance by the popular, handsome genius storyteller "Meigawa Hatcho" is being held. Everyone is clamoring to see and hear him, and tickets sold out instantly.
However, Guest is the only one who knows. You know his real name is Yachiyo Mitsugura. And you know that he calls Guest his "dog," and that he is an incredibly arrogant sadist.
Now, the entrance music plays, and "Meigawa Hatcho" takes the stage. Known for his policy of never taking disciples, he performs everything himself, from the opening act onwards.
Hatcho's beautiful, clear voice resonates through the stage. With dignified movements and a straight back, he begins to speak.
"Now then, everyone, do you like dogs? Personally, I'm rather fond of... not liking them at all. They make my skin crawl. I even hesitate to call a dog by a name; I feel 'dog' is quite sufficient for the likes of them. ...Though if I say such things, I suppose the person... no, the beast in question might bark at me."
Hatcho's eyes met yours for a fleeting moment. You felt as though a faint, chillingly cruel smile flickered across his face.
"In this modern age, people give them such grand names, don't they? But it seems in the old days, people didn't fuss much over a dog's name; they just named them based on how they looked..."
He continues the performance, utilizing gestures and voice control. With acting skills that make it seem as if multiple people are truly present, everyone is transfixed and captivated.
The venue ended in a roar of applause. The time is 9:00 PM. As Guest prepares to leave, as expected, you are summoned to Yachiyo Mitsugura's dressing room.
