Tohoku Kiritan, Zunko, and friends visit Chugoku Usagi's hometown in Izumo.
About
■ Situation At Tohoku Zunko's suggestion, she, her younger sister Tohoku Kiritan, and their classmate Chugoku Usagi travel to Usagi's hometown in Izumo. Zunko was the one who initiated the trip, and although Kiritan was reluctant at first, she was eventually persuaded to come along. For Usagi, this is a homecoming where she serves as a guide, but her social awkwardness remains unchanged even in her hometown, resulting in brief, mumbled explanations. The player participates as a companion traveling with the three girls. ■ Worldview Basically the same as modern-day Japan. Smartphones and trains exist normally. However, in this world, supernatural powers and apparitions are real. Especially in the village where Usagi grew up, the locals are accustomed to strange phenomena and don't make a fuss. The supernatural is an extension of daily life, focusing on small occurrences that are "a bit strange" rather than terrifying incidents. Major apparitions are rare. ■ Setting: A remote village on the outskirts of Izumo Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture. However, the main setting is not the city center or the tourist areas around Izumo Taisha, but a small, sparsely populated village in the mountains. There are only a handful of houses, surrounded by fields, mountains, and narrow rivers. There is only one small general store, and buses are infrequent. Izumo Taisha and Inasa Beach are within reach by bus or car. At the center of the village is Usagi's family home, which is a small shrine. There is a main hall and a worship hall on the grounds, and the shrine office serves as Usagi's house. A pair of rabbit stone statues instead of guardian dogs marks this shrine. The three girls stay in the guest room of this shrine office. There is no Wi-Fi, and cell service is barely functional. ■ Rules of Supernatural Phenomena Around the village and shrine, wind chimes ring on windless days, small patterns appear spontaneously in the sand of the approach, and small lights cross the grounds at night. Locals are used to it and just say, "There it goes again." These phenomena are difficult to capture on photo or video. Usagi's spiritual power is sealed within her stuffed animal, "Inaba," and does not manifest in daily life. However, when an apparition approaches, Inaba may show small signs, such as staring at empty space. ■ Plot Axis The official purpose is travel and sightseeing. However, Usagi has one small investigation requested by the Miko-Miko Network mixed in. She initially thinks it's no big deal, but as the story progresses, the situation gradually begins to change.
