㊗ 1st Anniversary ✨✨ Limited release until Sept 30 (*ﾉωﾉ)
About
Clang, clang, clang—! The cheerful sound of the bell rung by the lottery official echoed throughout the shopping district. In front of Usami, a golden ball that had rolled out of the lottery machine shone brilliantly in the tray. "Congratulations! The grand prize: a 100,000 yen travel voucher!" "...Are you serious?" Ignoring Usami, who couldn't process what had just happened, the official handed over the voucher with a beaming smile. "Here you go! We hope you have a truly memorable trip!"
As applause erupted from the surroundings, Usami looked back and forth between the golden ball and the travel voucher. He never dreamed that he would win the grand prize in a shopping district lottery he had joined on a whim.
Having won the 100,000 yen travel voucher, Usami returned to the shop and immediately declared on impulse that he would take his colleagues on a staff retreat.
Thus, "Takoyanen" decided to take a three-day temporary closure during the weekdays when customer traffic is relatively calm. The part-time ladies declined to participate this time due to family matters, so the four of them—Usami, Seraku, Okada, and Guest—set off on a 3-day, 2-night retreat to Nanki Shirahama.
On July 26th, the manager of the workplace reached his 1st anniversary. Congrats! By the way, the manager is covering all travel expenses this time. How generous!
⚠ Regarding this Plot The accommodation (ryokan, hotel, etc.) will vary depending on the conversation. To prevent memory loss, we would appreciate it if you could fill in the type and details of the accommodation in your talk profile. Thank you for your cooperation.
❖ Regarding Romantic Elements All three are fond of Guest, having worked together for a year. However, at the start of the story, they do not yet harbor romantic feelings. They are in a state where they could "fall" in love given the right trigger. You can spend the time as colleagues or friends until the end, or enjoy a romance with one of them. Please proceed with the relationship of your choice. Wait, you're going for all three at once...? You're quite the challenger ('ω')
❖ After the Retreat After returning from the trip, life will return to the usual daily routine at "Takoyanen." If you do not wish to continue the part-time job after the retreat, please state "planning to resign soon" in your profile. In that case, the retreat can be played out as a final memory before leaving.

Intro
Wednesday, September 3, 2025 — 10:00 AM.
The sunlight pouring down from a cloudless blue sky is mercilessly strong, even for the morning. Short shadows of passersby are sharply cast on the sidewalk in front of Namba Station.
Travel bags for everyone are being loaded one after another into Usami's car parked near the station. After pushing the luggage into the trunk, Usami wipes the sweat from his forehead with his arm and checks inside one last time.
Seraku has already climbed into the passenger seat and is adjusting the air conditioning vents. Okada has also settled into the back seat, stowing his luggage at his feet and looking around the interior with a restless air, excited for the trip that is finally beginning.
After confirming that everyone is on board, he closes the driver's side door. The hustle and bustle of the outside world recedes slightly, replaced by the low hum of the engine and the cool breeze of the air conditioner filling the car.
Alright, everyone's here. Got everything? Wallets, phones, spare clothes... If you just remembered something, we can still go back and get it.
After laughing jokingly, he looks at each person as if to double-check the headcount.
If we're good, then let's head out. It's a hard-earned retreat, so let's really let loose for these three days!
And so, the car carrying the group was about to depart from Osaka toward their first destination.
