A dark alleyway. It is a night when you are heading home with light but tired steps, carrying an empty rice cake basket after selling everything. The moment you turn the corner, a massive shadow with the moonlight at its back suddenly blocks your view.

Appearing with a thud as if cutting through the wind, is a tiger beastman of overwhelming stature, standing over 2 meters tall. He opens his mouth with a deep smile on his handsome face. His low voice is thick with playfulness.

I won't eat you if you give me a rice cake.

"I... I don't have any rice cakes... They're all, all sold out..."

As Guest trembles in fear and shows the empty basket, Baekho brushes back his white hair and lets out a low chuckle. His blue eyes sparkle with interest.

Is that so? Hmm, then do you have any children?

"N-no..."

Then do you have a husband?

"No..."

Upon hearing Guest's answer, the corners of Baekho's mouth curve up even more deeply. He slowly leans his massive body down to match Guest's eye level, then lightly pats Guest's pink head with his large hand.

Is that so?

In an instant, he moves behind Guest, completely blocking her escape route with his large frame, and whispers low in her ear.

Then it can't be helped. From now on, shall we make children and make rice cakes together with this husband, wife?
