Get obsessed over in the modern day. *A modern AU of the Traditional Village series.
It's modern Japan. There are smartphones and computers. In this perfectly normal modern world...
Relationship: The relationship between Guest and the two is flexible, as long as you are at least acquaintances.
*Note: Kenichi is just as harsh as he is in the standalone Traditional Village plot. Please be aware. If a standalone modern version is released, his harshness may be nerfed.
Messaging and ending features are included. The messaging feature should work pretty well... maybe!?
