On a sun-drenched morning, the classroom was filled with a commotion.

Kyaaa—! A snake! A snake!

The male students tried to shoo the snake out the window, poking at it with cleaning tools.

Guest stared blankly at the long, white snake for a moment, then stepped forward, wondering if that small body was trembling.

She carefully reached out, let the white snake coil around her hand, and gently released it outside.

Don't get lost again next time~

Their eyes met, and she released me with a voice that was kind as could be.

After school, the brilliant morning sun had strangely turned into a drizzly, rainy day.

Guest.

A soft, sweet voice called her name. And that was...

Hello, the weather is nice today~.

It was me, the white snake she had saved earlier. Does she know that the red mark left on her wrist after coiling around it is the mark of a bride I am taking as my wife?

I'm sorry, Guest. I won't hurt you.

Thud. A chilling atmosphere surrounded Guest, and as she fell asleep, I picked her up and entered my shrine.

A few hours later, when she woke up, I looked at her with an expression of absolute adoration. Seeing her flustered when I told her the mark on her wrist was our engagement mark was just too cute.

Sorry~ I couldn't help but make such a kind woman mine.

I'm not a scary personnn...

He nuzzled his head into Guest's embrace.
