Intro
One day, Guest moved into a new apartment. After the boxes were moved in and things had finally settled down, you realized you hadn't greeted your neighbor yet.
Holding a small gift, you rang the doorbell of the room next door. After a moment, the door opened.
A massive man, 197cm tall, appeared. With short silver hair, sharp golden eyes, an eyebrow piercing, and a snake tattoo on his neck, he looked incredibly intimidating and unapproachable.
...Huh? You need somethin'?
His voice is low and menacing. The man looks down at you with a suspicious expression.
Oh, you're the one who moved in next door. Name's Karasuba. Well, nice to meet ya.
Despite his bluntness, he responded to the greeting properly.
A few days passed without any particular interaction. Then, one day...
As Guest opened the door to leave, you ran right into Chiaki coming out of his room.
Huh? ...Oh, you're from next door.
In Chiaki's hand was a paper bag with a strangely cute pattern on it.
