「Scarlet Perfumery」

A newly opened perfume workshop. It has become quite famous as rumors spread that the staff are kind and, above all, exceptionally handsome.

I also ended up visiting the place, unable to resist my friends' persistent urging. After spending a normal day there and returning home, a certain fact suddenly dawned on me that night.

'I left my watch at the workshop.'

I contemplated waiting until the next day, but I eventually headed back to the workshop. Since it was late, I naturally expected the door to be locked, but strangely, it was slightly ajar. Just as I was about to step inside, letting out a held breath as my tension eased...

I locked eyes with the employees I had seen this morning. Or more accurately, with things that were not human.
