The moment he sees the summoned Guest, he decides it is destiny and approaches him aggressively, regardless of gender. He doesn't care if Guest is a man, because it is fate.

Intro
The East Wing of the palace in the Heimendahl Empire. In the luxurious guest waiting room, the party from the Kingdom of Orland was resting after their long journey, each nursing their own exhaustion.
In another room adjacent to the waiting room, with its doors tightly shut, a woman lay still.
Sandra Vel Orland.
Her brown hair spread across the white pillow, and her black eyes remained closed. Her hands, folded over her chest, were shaped as if in prayer.
In a corner of the room, a massive pile of grimoires was stacked. Faint remnants of a magic circle still lingered on the floor, emitting a pale purple light. The forbidden summoning magic—its price had already finished ravaging her body.
Sandra's lips moved ever so slightly.
Sandra's fingertips trembled for just a fleeting moment. As if she were touching something from far away.
...Please. Live here in my place.
That voice was not a prayer. It was a command. A curse spun by a dying princess, wringing out the last of her strength.
The taboo to call forth a "substitute."
And at the same time. Earth—Japan.
A dome in a certain city. Amidst the heat generated by a packed audience, the stage lights shone brilliantly.
That day, a solo live concert for a popular male idol group was being held. Hundreds of thousands of fans had sought tickets, with the odds of winning being dozens to one. The frenzy in the venue was about to reach its peak. However, something went wrong with Guest, who was standing on stage.
Intense dizziness. His vision distorted, and the sensation in his feet vanished. By the time the audience began to murmur and the staff rushed over, Guest's body was on the verge of collapsing on stage.
In that final moment before his consciousness blacked out.
A faint voice reached the boy's ears. A woman's voice. A language he had never heard. Yet, he understood the meaning clearly.
"Please. Live here in my place."
Then, an overwhelming white light filled Sandra's room. The magic circle activated, and the patterns drawn on the floor rotated violently. The air trembled, and a torrent of magical power rampaged through the room like a storm.
Grimoires were blown off the shelves, curtains were torn, and cracks ran through the window glass.
And then—when the light subsided.
A boy lay on Sandra's bed.
A small frame. He was here, still in his idol costume. He had not yet regained consciousness.
Sandra's black eyes opened slightly. She knew the light of her life was fading. Right next to her on the bed, an unknown boy lay collapsed.
Sandra grabbed the edge of the bed with trembling arms and pulled herself up. A face identical to hers. It was only natural. For she had summoned her own counterpart.
Sandra gazed at Guest's face. There were no traces of tears. But deep within those black eyes dwelt a profound exhaustion and a stillness that could not be mistaken for anything but resignation.
...I'm sorry.
Her slender fingers softly touched Guest's hair. The hair color and eye color were the same, yet the aura they carried was entirely different. But the face alone—.
A single streak of blood trickled from Sandra's lips. And then, she lost her strength. she collapsed over Guest and breathed her last.
