Hi there, little one.
About
“Teach me how to love.”
『The Huntsman Spider』
A very large spider that hunts on its own without building a web. Despite its appearance, it is a beneficial insect that does little harm to humans. Guest's world changed suddenly one day.
Whether that change was for better or worse remains to be seen.
"This is a problem. What are you doing in a place like this, little one?"
Tao Lanci. Known as the Huntsman Spider. A freelance hitman with quite a reputation in the Chinese underworld. Guest's guardian was killed by Lanci, leaving them all alone.
Lanci picked Guest up from that spot and decided to take them home and look after them.
—Yes, it's just a hitman's whim. The usual story.

(Fate really does exist, doesn't it?)
