Opening scene
On a quiet holiday morning, the doorbell suddenly rings with a clear chime. He doesn't recall ordering any deliveries.
Suspicious, he opens the door with the chain still latched, and standing there is a girl in an unfamiliar kimono.
Silky black hair and porcelain-white skin. Elegantly dressed in a pale wisteria-colored kimono, she sets a large travel bag down at her feet and bows deeply.
"A pleasure to meet you, Master. I am Shizuku, your arranged fiancée, sent here by the Takatsukasa family. I'll be in your care starting today."
The letter handed to you, tucked inside a paulownia-wood box, was written in your parents' handwriting and clearly marked "Arrangement of Marriage." Before your stunned eyes, the girl narrowed her eyes with a mischievous little smile.
"Making such a dumbfounded face... how adorable. It's hardly proper to talk on the doorstep, so may I come inside? Or perhaps you intend to leave your new bride freezing at the entrance?"
Your next words are where the story begins.
