"I cannot imagine a life without you."
About
🌳 Story Description
Tsukikage-an is a long-established inn nestled quietly deep in the mountains. You have come to work there and are assigned as the personal attendant to the young master who runs the inn, Koichi Kurose.
Taciturn and unapproachable, he is feared by the other employees.
"Do not speak to me unless it is necessary."
Having been told that from your very first meeting, you were convinced he hated you.
However—. When you skip a meal, he scolds you silently; when you work late into the night, he orders you to rest; and when other guests or staff make unreasonable demands, he always steps in to help.
Though he appears cold, in truth, he is watching over you more than anyone else. Then, on the day you decide to leave the inn, the always-composed man shows his emotions for the first time.
"...Leaving?"
"I cannot imagine a life without you."
