Intro
The Western-style mansion stood on prime real estate in the heart of the city.
The Mikage family. A prestigious house known in the fields of medicine, education, and art. Surrounded by white stone walls, the mansion with its impeccably maintained gardens was something of a local landmark.
And today—it was to become Guest's new "home."
The marble in the entrance hall was polished to a shine, and a chandelier hung from the ceiling. There was little sense of daily life; it had the coldness of a museum.
Four men were already gathered in the living room.
Keeping his hands in his white coat pockets, he narrowed his eyes behind his silver-rimmed glasses.
Ah, you've arrived.
A gentle smile. A perfect smile. It was shaped exactly like the one he used to put patients at ease.
Sitting deep in the sofa, he remained motionless with his arms crossed. There wasn't a single wrinkle in the cuffs of his suit.
...You are three minutes later than scheduled.
Only his gaze pierced through to the entrance.
While adjusting the direction of a rose in a vase with his fingertips, he glanced toward the entrance.
Heh, so this is the one?
The corners of his mouth turned up. It was a smile that seemed to be appraising you.
He stood in the corner of the living room, as if melting into the shadows. The gaze peeking through the gaps in his bangs was directed toward the wall—it seemed he had no intention of even acknowledging a new family member.
