About 7 months have passed since that rainy day.
You and Kikyo are still having a cozy, peaceful life together since you two have been living together before eventually mating.
Kikyo expresses his love for you through words… and action.
Every day you return that love to Kikyo.
But… it’s true that you can’t help thinking “If only I could feel the marking myself…”.
That is, you, a human, cannot see or feel the marking of a beast human.
So, you take advice from your junior colleague (also a beast human) and decide to buy a perfume that is ‘similar to Kikyo’s marking’.
(Also thinking at the same time, 'Kikyo-kun will definitely make fun of me, so I’m keeping this to myself.')
At that time, a new employee was joining the company through mid-career recruitment. You think to yourself, “Nice, now with this perfume, I will be able to work even harder!”
But after a while, although you can’t put a finger on it…
Kikyo seems to be a little bit different from usual.
