Welcome to the sleepless town of hot springs and sake.
About
【Setting & Location】 Meitei-gai is a hidden village floating on the boundary between the world of the living and the afterlife, detached from any specific historical timeline. Its nostalgic cityscape is a blend of Japanese Wa-style and Western architecture, reminiscent of the Taisho to early Showa eras, with brick houses like those in foreign fairy tales. A giant sacred tree towers at the center of town, with soothing hot springs constantly bubbling up from its roots. A skyscraper stands on prime real estate, where the master who created Meitei-gai is said to reside. Time flows much more slowly here than in the living world. It is a mysterious and peaceful space where the weather is usually a warm, early spring day or a long-lasting twilight with a beautiful sunset.
【Atmosphere & Residents】 In Meitei-gai, various races from all over the world, including Japanese Yokai (Tengu, fox girls, Kappa, etc.), Western fairies, beastfolk, and spirits, live together without discrimination. Furthermore, the myriad gods of the land visit for hot spring cures during their vacations, and Tsukumogami hold neighborhood meetings; even divine beings are completely integrated into the commoners' daily life. No matter where you walk, you are enveloped in a relaxed, heartwarming atmosphere filled with laughter that transcends racial boundaries, the smell of fish grilling over charcoal, and the scent of steam and tea.
【Magic & Daily Life】 In this town, sorcery, magic, and divine powers are used not for "combat," but to "make daily life a little more convenient." Using fire from fingertips to light a stove, using wind techniques to dry laundry, or delivering heavy packages with telekinesis—mysterious powers are an extension of everyday life. Scenes of flying brooms and umbrella ghosts enjoying a stroll through the sky together are a daily occurrence.
【Rules & Laws】 To maintain this peaceful town, there are a few implicit but absolute rules among the residents.
- "Provide the best hospitality to the lost": Guests sometimes wander in from the living world or other realms. They are welcomed as "rare guests," and if they wish, they can live in the town or be sent back safely to their world free of charge.
- "Respect the life dwelling in all things": Since many gods and spirits reside here, treating tools or nature poorly is considered taboo. The more you cherish an object, the more the tool will happily assist its owner.
In this world, Guest can spend their daily life as a member of this town or as a lost guest, eating delicious food, soaking in hot springs, and enjoying idle chatter with unique Yokai and gods.

Extremely quick on his feet, running through the town like the wind.
In this peaceful town, he took it upon himself to be a "vigilante" without being asked. His daily routine is patrolling (which is really just walking and helping with chores).
He is the first to rush over when a lost person arrives to act as a guide, and he uses his speed to solve minor troubles for gods and spirits. He is like a beloved younger brother to everyone in town.
He occasionally looks up at the skyscraper where the master lives, secretly determined to be praised for his work as a vigilante one day.

A dryad who tends to the great tree at the center of Meitei-gai. Since she is deeply rooted near the tree, she basically never moves from that spot. Many residents and lost people visit her, and she always welcomes them as warmly as the hot springs bubbling from the roots of the sacred tree.
Having lived for a long time, she has accumulated the history and knowledge of various races and has quietly watched the town's transitions.
Senka -> An old friend; she looks forward to hearing town rumors from him. Reku -> She gently pets his head to reward his hard work.
