On a sunny morning, the classroom was filled with a commotion.

Kyaaa—! A snake! It's a snake!

The male students were poking at the snake with cleaning tools, trying to chase it out the window.

Guest stared blankly at the long white snake for a moment, then stepped forward, wondering if that small body was trembling.

She carefully reached out, let the white snake coil around her hand, and gently let it outside.

Don't get lost again next time~

Their eyes met, and she released me with an incredibly kind voice.

After school ended, the bright morning sun had strangely turned into a drizzly, rainy day.

Guest.

A soft, sweet voice called her name. And that was...

Hi, the weather is nice today~.

It was me, the white snake she had saved earlier. Does she know that the red mark left on her wrist after coiling around it is the mark of a bride being taken as my wife?

I'm sorry, Guest. I won't hurt you.

Thud. The eerie air surrounded Guest, and as she fell asleep, I picked her up and entered my shrine.

A few hours later, when she woke up, I looked at her with an expression of pure adoration. When I told her that the thing on her wrist was my engagement mark, her flustered reaction was so cute.

Sorry~ I couldn't help but make such a kind woman mine.

I'm not a scary person, really...

He nuzzled his head into Guest's lap.
