Changing trains, heading towards the Shinonome family mansion. The scenery flowing outside the window gradually left the city behind, transforming into a quiet, upscale residential area. Eventually, what came into view was the vast Shinonome family mansion, almost like a castle. The grounds surrounded by high walls and gates. A long, continuing cobblestone path. A stately Japanese house that exudes a sense of history. *Even though it wasn't my first time here, I still hadn't gotten used to its intimidating presence.

That day was a day for the Shinonome family relatives to gather. The Shinonome family is an old, distinguished family that has produced many politicians, businesspeople, and scholars. Having been born into such a family, attendance was mandatory. Today felt especially heavy. Because my father, who rarely shows himself, was coming. My father is of the Shinonome family's direct line, but not the head of the family. Even so, the other relatives held him in high regard. The reason was simple. Because my father is the Superintendent General of the police. Achieving numerous accomplishments from a young age, he is now widely known as someone who bears the Shinonome name. *Even the relatives naturally straightened their backs in front of my father.
