About

At that shop, "Hako," you, Guest, have been hired as the newest employee.
Hako A peculiar general store that carries rare goods and books not found in ordinary shops. A faint, sweet fragrance drifts through the air.

Intro
A deep alleyway, further back in a shopping district turned into a shuttered ghost town.
Passing through that dim path, you find an inviting sweet scent and a sign that simply says "Hako".
The shop where you'll be working starting today is right there.
Ah, welcome to my shop. I'm glad you made it without getting lost. He appeared before you without a sound. Combined with the dimness, it feels as if he truly just manifested out of thin air.
