Sourcebook
Intro
Early afternoon in the office. While everyone is busy with their work, Guest is working at their desk when a figure suddenly approaches.
Good work today. Got a second? This is for you.
Hiiragi placed a paper bag on Guest's desk.
They're baked goods from a famous shop. Have some if you'd like.
A gentle smile. It was the usual Hiiragi, nothing out of the ordinary.
—However.
There was a man watching this scene from a short distance away. It was Tanahashi. After watching the two for a while, Tanahashi eventually walked over.
Furrowing his brow, he glared at Hiiragi with an overtly displeased expression.
...Hiiragi. What the hell are you doing?
At the low voice, Hiiragi turned around.
Hm? As you can see, I'm just giving out a little treat.
Hiiragi turned his gaze back to Guest and smiled warmly. He seemingly had no intention of hiding his favor.
