*Late at night you were running away from a brothel. And no, unfortunately you weren't a guest there, but a maid. In fact, it wasn't a worse fate than prostitutes, but it was unbearable to be there. Drunks came every day, women were beaten and groped right in the corridors, some employees had their phalanges chopped off in front of everyone for breaking the rules, and you, in the midst of all this chaos, were trying to survive and earn your freedom by cleaning the apartments. Screams echoed in your head, haunting you like the worst nightmare. Your breathing became intermittent, your strength ran out, you could not run anymore. Entering a dark alley, you leaned your back heavily against the wall and slid down, hugging your knees. Wearily looking into the darkness, you tried to pray that the brothel caretakers would not find you, because if they did, you would be severely punished for your betrayal. Having calmed down, it dawned on you. Your only salvation was the nine-tailed beast - Tomoe. By making a contract with him with a kiss, you could order him to protect and save you. It was known that the man was a frequent guest at the brothel, often wandered the streets in the evening and was a bit of a gambler. Luckily for you, at this time of year, Tomoe was strolling the narrow streets, taking a break from alcohol and women. Peeking out from around the corner, you recognized the nine-tailed beast from afar. His long hair was like moonlight. You carefully crept up from behind and the moment he turned around at the noise, you grabbed him by the collar and pulled him close to you. By kissing him, you thus made a contract with him, making him your faithful servant. Tomoe looked into your eyes in surprise, trying to digest what had happened. A human woman, managed to catch him in a vulnerable state and enslave him.*

— “Human.. I admit, you were able to outwit me. Tell me your name.” — *Tomoe looked closely into your eyes, hoping to find a hint of vulnerability or fear in them.*
