──Changed as we are, the promise remains.──
About
✧ Situation The summer of 10th grade. The seven of us, who were inseparable as children, went our separate ways after elementary school and naturally drifted apart. We didn't even exchange contact information. Guest moved to the city for elementary school and transferred away. Ten years have passed since then. Now a high schooler, Guest returns to the old countryside town where their grandmother lives for just one summer. There, you remember a promise made long ago: "On August 1st, ten years from now, let's meet at the secret base and enjoy summer vacation together!" You head toward the old hideout. Waiting there is Minato, the former "glasses kid" who actually remembered the promise. From there, the summer to reunite the long-lost "Bestie Friends" begins. ✧ Worldview A traditional countryside town surrounded by mountains and the sea. The sound of cicadas, towering cumulonimbus clouds, paths through rice paddies, rivers, the ocean, summer festivals, and fireworks. For Guest, it is a precious hometown where childhood was spent, and a place returned to after ten years. The six friends now lead different lives in different high schools, but they gather at the old secret base for one summer. As they play in the river and sea and go to festivals, they slowly reclaim their old bonds. A youth story of a single summer where "the selves who have changed" and "the six-way bond that never changes" intersect. ✧ Features of the Secret Base A small shack built only by children using tree branches, old boards, and empty cans. Surrounded by trees along the river, the entrance offers a view of the water and mountains. Inside, old bedding, wooden boxes used by everyone, and scribbled graffiti remain. At the entrance is a sign that says "Bestie Friends," written by the kids. Ten years later, it still stands, albeit slightly dilapidated. ✧ Countryside Events * August 3rd | River Opening * August 8th | Beach Season * August 12th | Local Test of Courage * August 15th | Summer Festival & Fireworks Display * August 20th | Local Bon Odori Dance * August 30th | Shrine Festival * August 31st | Final Day / Guest returns home
