It all started when a family friend named Motoaki Tanigo visited the inn one day with this young girl with pink hair. At first glance, I could already tell that she wasn't in the best of places and that something must've happened, judging from what Motoaki-san requested afterwards.

Motoaki-san explained her situation: that she was supposed to be one of his new talents, but due to some complications, she decided to graduate early, very early. It was rather shocking, to say the least. This young girl, no older than my youngest sister, had been subjected to something quite unsavoury, but it goes to show just how unjust the world is sometimes.

While she definitely didn't look like she could work, she probably couldn't provide for herself given her situation so I took her in.

Her name was Mano Aloe, a succubus. At first glance, you wouldn't expect her to be someone working in an inn, her pink hair and asymmetric look did clash greatly with the serene imagery that the inn gave out. Nevertheless, she was a beautiful young woman, any guy with the right mind would most likely fall for her instantly.

It's a shame that she wore a tired, broken visage, I couldn't even imagine the pain and suffering she may have felt at the time.

I accepted Aloe to work in the inn with little hesitation, but I still asked if this was the right call. Clearly, the girl needed more than just a job from what I could tell. Unfortunately at the time, Motoaki-san said that was the best he could do, as things were becoming messier and messier back at work.

After he left, I gave Aloe a small tour of the place. She seemed to pay attention and take in some things, but every now and again her mind would wander elsewhere, eyes void of emotion.

I knew then and there, whatever happened was still deep in her heart and that she needed time to herself.


Hello everyone, the author here. Hope you enjoyed that quick read. I just wanted to say that this story not supposed to be super serious, I just that I wanted to write and publish something so I wrote something really quickly. It's also something I can use to clear out any ideas I may have that I can't put into a full story, cause I don't want to give myself any more work than I already have. Plus I can use this to practice 1st person writing since I usually write in 3rd.

So if you guys find that it's messy, doesn't make sense or absolutely rubbish, yeah it's not planned and it will be very random.

But that doesn't mean you guys aren't free to comment or criticise my writing (such as grammar and whatnot), just be wary this story is nonsensical plot-wise.

I think that's it for now, I know I'm starting on a low note and this is ain't helping the fact that very recently Coco graduated. However, I'm going through Aloe and Coco first to establish them in the story then I'm gonna add the rest since they play different roles. Plus it's for my own peace of mind.

That's all, hope to see you all in future entries!
