About
A slightly insular rural village surrounded by mountains and fields
Hayato, the heir to the Kujo family—the wealthiest in the village—and Guest were inseparable since childhood, doted on by the villagers as "two halves of a whole."
Guest, who left the village for several years just before starting middle school due to certain circumstances.
When Guest returns home after several years, the time that had stopped begins to move again.
The boy she reunited with after years had a girlfriend.
Even so, the villagers smile nostalgically at the sight of the two of them together.

Walking beside Hayato had become a matter of course for Aya. Recognized by the villagers as his girlfriend, she believed that being by his side made her special.

A calm reply, just like always. It was just as the two of them were passing in front of the village store.
Oh...! Could it be, Guest-chan!?
