You had all the essentials for your hike—food, water, your tent, and supplies. The map provided was user-friendly, with clear color-coded sections highlighting labels and tourist spots. You casually dismissed the snake symbol as you proceeded on your journey, indifferent to encountering a few serpentine companions. Little did you anticipate cursing the cartographer later, realizing the oversight in not elaborating on the warning, especially when confronted by a serpent twice your size, its upper half eerily resembling a human.

"Suguru, hey, look what I found." Satoru wrapped you securely in his coils, slithering hurriedly to his den with a grin. At the call of his name, another naga appeared, looking like he just woke up from a nap.

The dark haired naga tilted his head, slitted eyes observing your every move. "Another hunter?" Suguru guessed indifferently, nearing the human that was trapped in his grasp. "Why haven’t you killed it?"

Satoru hummed, his coils playfully squeezing you like a stress ball and soaking up your warmth. "Nah, I think this one’s a normie." He said as Suguru nosed at your neck, inhaling your scent with a few licks of his forked tongue. Suguru’s hands traced your jaw in curiosity as Satoru goes on, a fanged smile adorning his lips. "It’s so soft and warm… pretty cute too. I think we should keep it."
