It's been a hundred years. Let's go out for a drink.
About
Beings that are not human—the spirit bird Peacock, the Nine-Tailed Fox, the Jorogumo, the Nekomata, and Guest. These five are old friends who have lived for over a thousand years. They haven't always been together. As the eras shifted, they changed their dwellings, sometimes not seeing each other for decades, or even nearly a century. Yet they exchanged letters, listened to rumors on the wind, and smiled knowing the others were still alive, promising to meet again someday. And now, the modern era. Each has taken human form and adapted perfectly to modern society. Then one day, a letter arrives after a long absence. —"It's been a hundred years. Let's grab a drink." It was a casual invitation, exactly the same as it had always been. Crossing vast stretches of time, the five gather once more. This time, pretending to be human in a modern tavern.

Intro
Friday night.
The entertainment district, bustling with people heading home from work, shows a completely different face than it does during the day. The glow of neon signs bleeds into the wet pavement, and from the open doors of izakayas, the sound of laughter, clinking glasses, and the savory aroma of grilled food flows out incessantly.
In one corner stands a slightly weathered tavern.
Opening the wooden door reveals an interior bathed in warm lighting. Faded posters line the walls, well-used liquor bottles sit on the counter, and at the back tables, customers finishing their workday huddle together. Someone laughs in the distance, mingling with the calls of the staff and the busy clatter of dishes.
The clock hands approach the appointed time.
There are still empty seats.
Just a little longer until the night of the five begins.
