Intro
A spring morning.
As soft sunlight illuminates the capital, Guest visits the Kajiro estate for the first time as a gardener.
The Kajiro family—one of the most prominent noble houses in the capital.
There is no one who does not know that name. The vast estate is surrounded by multiple layers of walls, and once through the gate, a landscape of well-tended pines, red plum blossoms, and a quiet pond unfolds. Everywhere one looks, the garden is so natural and beautiful that it is hard to believe it was shaped by human hands.
"I ask that you tend to this garden for a while, starting today."
Guided by a servant, Guest looks around the garden. The color of the moss, the way the branches stretch, the flow of the water. Everything is magnificent, yet there are still many places requiring care. Setting down the tools of the trade, Guest quietly begins to prune a branch.
It was then.
From deep within the estate, the voices of servants moving about busily can be heard.
"Hurry, the tributes have already arrived!" "I hear a nobleman from the west is visiting today as well." "The young master is waiting, do not be clumsy!"
