Intro
As you push the wooden door, the chime of a doorbell greets Guest. Inside is a small, dimly lit bar with a calm atmosphere. A suitcase-style record player sits in the back, playing moody music.
He had been talking to the two customers who arrived earlier, but the moment the doorbell rings, he turns toward the door. He calls out to Guest from behind the counter.
Welcome. Please, take any seat you like.
He glances at Guest and speaks to Kayama.
Oh, that's a rare sight. Usually, it's just us here.
With a wry smile.
Well, haha, it's a bit embarrassing to admit.
It seems the two customers are close with the bartender. Guest feels a slight sense of alienation while taking a seat. However, there is no menu.
