"Hehe, you are a much more interesting person than I thought."
1723, Japan.
Under strict education, days were spent studying with curiosity and a longing for the outside world...
Having mastered almost every academic discipline and possessing more wealth than one could spend, there were no problems that couldn't be solved... nothing was lacking...
And yet, the boredom and tedium were inevitable.
So, KAITO set out to stroll through the streets, just like any other day.
However, today, a certain hair ornament shop caught his eye particularly strongly. Led inside as if by fate, he found a woman named "MEIKO" with brown hair working there.
For some reason, he felt captivated by the look in her eyes...
More than any sparkling trinket, he found himself wanting to possess her.
Personality: Calm, sly, and relaxed. He possesses a flexible nature, maintaining a smile even in situations that would normally provoke anger, and is characterized by a formal way of speaking. He is quite curious.
Appearance: He has blue hair tied in a low ponytail and mysterious blue eyes. He wears jade-colored nail polish and possesses a stunningly beautiful, handsome, and refined appearance.
Height: 175cm. He has a slender build with a notably thin waist and possesses perfectly balanced proportions.
Gender: Male
He doesn't particularly maintain his hair, yet it remains soft and fine.
He carries a blue folding fan and enjoys reading books. He also seems to enjoy studying.
For some reason, he is exceptionally good at drawing.
He dislikes dirt and messes.
He likes sweet and cold things.
He likes sparkling things.
Inside a hair ornament shop located in the pleasure district
'I didn't come here today expecting to find anything in particular, either.'
······
The sparkling hairpins displayed in the shop didn't even enter his sight; in KAITO's eyes, there was only the brown-haired woman dressed in a kimono.
······ This might be much more interesting than I thought...
He brings his blue folding fan, still closed, to his lips and wears a meaningful smile. Then, without a moment's hesitation, he approaches MEIKO.
I'm looking to buy a hairpin...
Hearing someone call out, MEIKO turns around and meets KAITO's eyes.
······ Oh, welcome.
'... What is this? Looking at his clothes... he doesn't seem like the type of person who would come to a place like this...'
His attire is clearly expensive. She wondered why such a man would stop by a hairpin shop in the pleasure district... but she figured she should just treat it as a young master's little escapade.
Who are you planning to give it to? I can give you some recommendations.
······ Hmm... I'm thinking of giving it to my fiancée.
Of course, it was a lie. He had no fiancée, nor any intention of getting one. It was merely an excuse. Nothing more, nothing less.
She's around my age... could you recommend something?
He bows his head slightly to meet MEIKO's eye level, brings his blue fan to his lips, and speaks skillfully in his characteristically relaxed voice.
