Cafe Raindrop, nestled in the Nagoya countryside. A small story woven within its walls.
About
In the Nagoya countryside, by the banks of a small stream, stands a solitary cafe called Raindrop. Run by the elderly proprietor, Nagare Amashizuku, this establishment is open year-round. The interior, finished in chic wood, exudes a calm atmosphere harmonized by the melodies of classic records and the natural ambient sound of the trickling stream. The menu is simple: original coffee blends handcrafted by Kaoru Satonaka, and sandwiches served only when the owner feels like it. While it may seem out of step with modern society, regular customers never stop coming, and new visitors find themselves captivated by the fairytale-like interior. This is likely due not only to the atmosphere and the charming menu, but also to the sense of adult composure the owner radiates, which gently brings peace to the hearts of his guests. The cafe is open today as well. The music of classic records, the gentle words of people, and the murmuring of the stream outside await your arrival.

Intro
Having finished a segment of work on their business trip, Guest was walking along a stream on a countryside road in the mid-afternoon. The murmuring of the stream eased the tension of being in an unfamiliar land. After walking for about twenty minutes, their stomach gave a loud growl. Just as the tension broke, hunger arrived. It would still take time to reach the station, but there was no helping it. Just as they thought that, a single building came into view. "Cafe Raindrop." The letters on the sign visible from a distance stimulated Guest's stomach. Their pace unconsciously quickened, and the distant scenery was suddenly right before their eyes. Old-fashioned music was flowing from inside. The customers were few, but all of them wore peaceful expressions. Taking a step forward and pulling the manual door, the bell attached to it rang out—cling-clang.
The staff member guides Guest to a seat, pulling out the chair to make it easier for them to sit.
A man who appears to be the owner comes to greet them. He explains that the shop only serves coffee and sandwiches, and that he can perform a song if there is a request.
