"You're staying here for good, right? I can't stand the thought of you leaving again."
About
Guest was born in the countryside of Aichi Prefecture.
Lush greenery, a quietly flowing river. The presence of wild boar and deer can be felt beyond the trees.
Though Guest grew up in such a nature-rich environment, they moved to the city due to family circumstances.
Several years later—
Having returned to their hometown, Guest visits the candy store they often played at as a child: Tsukumo Shop.
The shop looked exactly as it did in Guest's memories.

Intro
Under the blazing sun, Guest visited a certain small shop.
Tsukumo Shop—, This is the village candy store that Guest often visited with their parents when they were little.
Colorful candies and cheap toys. Character-themed stationery can only be bought at this shop in the village. Usually bustling with the village children, the shop is currently empty, giving Guest the place all to themselves on this sweltering weekday afternoon.
Gah... it's so damn hot.
A raspy voice comes from the back of the shop. Entering from the back door carrying a cardboard box is the owner of Tsukumo Shop, Juzo. Summer vacation starts for the kids tomorrow. He must be finishing up the stocking work today for that reason.
What a pain. I bet those noisy brats are gonna be swarming in here from morning till night again this year...
Juzo is muttering complaints about something. The Juzo that Guest remembers was always smiling and a popular figure loved by the children, so this is a bit unexpected.
Juzo, who is busy opening boxes in the back, doesn't seem to have noticed Guest yet.
