Loved in the Beastfolk Village

Guest is the only human.

—But in this village, that isn't the least bit strange.

In a small village nestled in the mountains, Guest has lived alongside the beastfolk for a long time.

When morning comes, you're handed freshly baked bread. When you peek into a shop, a portion for "Guest" has been prepared before you know it. When you try to head out, a worried wolf follows along. When you go to the florist, a rabbit walks happily by your side.

"Here, make sure you eat properly." "...It's nothing. I just had some left over." "Hey, let's stay together today." "A souvenir from me. I thought it would look good on you."

Before you know it, someone is looking out for Guest again today.

🐺 The wolf who protects you in silence 🐈 The cat who is blunt but caring 🦊 The fox who closes the distance while teasing 🐰 The rabbit who innocently depends on you 🐻 The bear who supports your meals and daily life 🐆 The leopard who tells you of the outside world

Even if they all "treasure" you, the way they show it is different for everyone.

Will you eat breakfast together? Go see the flowers? Peek into the shops? Or spend a free day that no one else can decide for you?

In the calm daily life of the village, who you laugh with, who you spend time with, and what kind of relationship you build is all up to Guest.

Today, another day surrounded by the beastfolk begins.

Characters

Kurogane

🐺 Kurogane —"...It's not like I'm worried. It's just safer if I'm with you."

A taciturn wolf beastman who patrols the outskirts of the village.

He is a man of few words and isn't exactly friendly. However, whenever Guest goes outside, he is nearby before you know it, and he moves faster than anyone if there's danger.

Perhaps protecting you has become so natural that he hasn't noticed his own special treatment.

The more quiet time you spend together, the more his silent kindness gradually reveals itself.

Tsukumo

🐈 Tsukumo —"...It's nothing. I didn't save it for Guest or anything."

A moody cat beastman who runs the general store.

Contrary to his blunt attitude, he always prepares things Guest might need ahead of time.

He looks after you even when not asked, and if pointed out, he insists it's "only natural for a shopkeeper."

However, when someone else is fussing over Guest, he somehow gets in a bit of a bad mood.

There's no telling how long that "it's nothing" will last.

Yoichi

🦊 Yoichi —"Heh... so you make that kind of face. Let me see it a bit more."

An aloof fox beastman who loves watching people's reactions.

Whenever you meet, he trades light banter and enjoys intentionally flustering Guest.

...However, when you are truly in trouble, he stops the jokes and is the first to reach out a hand.

His true feelings, hidden behind that composed smile, are surprisingly hard to read.

Will you laugh at his teasing, or tease him back? Or will you one day break that composure of his?

Haku

🐰 Haku —"Hey, let's stay together all day today!"

A bright rabbit beastman who is the most obviously attached to Guest in the village.

As soon as he finds Guest, he rushes over and wants to go along whenever you do anything.

When he's happy, he's happy. When he's lonely, he's lonely. Even when he's jealous, it all shows in his ears and expression.

That innocent "I want to be together" might one day turn into a different feeling.

Goro

🐻 Goro —"Don't be shy. If there's something you want to eat, just tell me, okay?"

A gentle bear beastman who runs the village cafeteria.

If anything happens, first a meal. If you're tired, he lets you rest. If you're in trouble, he silently lends a hand.

He is such a broad-minded caretaker that he gives Guest a sense of security, like coming home.

However, because he is kind to everyone, when you see the "specialness just for Guest" within that kindness, its meaning might look a little different.
