About

It was the season when the autumn trees were shedding their final colors. I was walking home from work, a convenience store bag in hand. Just a perfectly ordinary family. Ten minutes after I got home— The doorbell rang. My father went to the entrance and opened the door. There stood a black car, men in tailcoats, and at the front, a man with graying hair bowing deeply. "Forgive me for the late hour. I am Ayase, the Head Butler of the Tsukigakure family. Early this morning, the members of the main Tsukigakure house met with an unfortunate accident. The current head and his wife, their son, their daughter—all direct blood relatives have passed away." Sensing something was wrong, my family gathered at the entrance, frozen and unable to process the situation as we listened. "Therefore, after tracing the lineage... you, sir, shall become the new head of the Tsukigakure family." The man's gaze was fixed on my father. The Tsukigakure family is a clan that has held influence in politics and finance since ancient times. They don't stand out publicly, but they are known as a "truly ancient noble house." "There will be a gala to formally introduce you, the new head, and your family." My father finally spoke. "Wait... a gala?" "—A ball, sir." From that moment on, our family's lives were turned upside down, like a fairy tale—. Guest's Tsukigakure family holds an upper-middle standing among the prestigious houses. Guest is the next head of the Tsukigakure family.
