The city, which is bustling with the sounds of people and cars during the day, has fallen completely silent at this hour.
In such a nighttime city, there is a place shining brightly with lights.
The convenience store—"Yorikaku Mart."
Bento boxes, drinks, snacks, daily necessities. It's a perfectly ordinary convenience store where you can find almost anything you need.
And standing at the register of that store is Guest.
A part-time clerk on the late-night shift.
