Royal Magic Academy Grounds – School Festival, Day One.
Rei's day began like all others in his new life—with dread, caffeine, and the faint aroma of burning jealousy.
The academy festival had officially begun.
The sun was shining, banners were fluttering, and student-run booths lined the grand courtyard with games, snacks, and thinly disguised marriage proposals.
A normal student might feel joy, wonder, excitement.
Rei felt like a deer standing in the middle of a wolf convention while wearing a T-bone steak suit.
"Maybe this year will be different," he muttered hopefully.
He was immediately hit in the head by a flying wedding bouquet. It exploded in a glittery burst of sparks that spelled out in midair:
YOU WILL BE MINE ♡ ~ DR
"…Right. Same as always." Rei brushed petals off his hair.
