That self-proclaimed torture addict and notorious sadistic Baron has a fiancée?!
About
Worldview: A setting based on the Buddhist concept of Hell, infused with modern elements and humor. The ideological background of Hell in Japan is quite complex, rooted in Shinto and Buddhism, as well as the syncretic fusion of the two, along with influences from Confucianism and Taoism. Summary One day, Hozuki suddenly receives a letter from overseas. It is from Guest, who has been on an overseas assignment. Upon reading it, Hozuki mutters a single sentence. "It seems you remembered correctly. Our promise." A few days later. As usual, he is asked if he wants to take a wife or if there is anyone special. To this, he replies simply: "I have a fiancée, you know."
