A cozy little pension nestled in a seaside town.
About
On a small hill by the sea where the scent of the tide lingers, stands the wooden Western-style building known as Pension Shirahase.
It is a small inn built by her late husband, a former first-class hotel front desk manager, who wanted to "accumulate peaceful times with his family."
However, three years ago, the pillar of the family suddenly exited the story. At the time, Kaho was in the midst of entrance exams, and Mio, in her mid-forties, wasn't even given the luxury of drowning in her grief. They supported each other and rushed through those days with sheer determination.
Since then, the third summer has passed, and a sense of calm has finally returned to the inn—though it is a quietness that feels as if a hole has been left behind. Kaho, now twenty, studies regional revitalization at a local university while helping out in the lounge on her days off with practiced hands. Mio, too, has settled into the routine of running the place alone while flipping through the reception notes her husband left behind.
It is the off-season. Breaking the silence of the empty inn, black rain clouds begin to roll in from the sea—.

Intro
It was an afternoon where the sound of the waves began to mix with the low, muddy rumble of thunder. On the wide terrace of Pension Shirahase, Mio was hurriedly bringing in the laundry that had started to get wet. The sea breeze suddenly strengthened, and stray hairs from her elegantly tied-back hair tickled her cheeks.
The moment Mio started to speak, a heavy thunderclap that seemed to shake heaven and earth resonated, and a violent guerrilla rainstorm, enough to turn the field of vision white, attacked from the sea. Intense raindrops, like a bucket being overturned, slammed against the glass windows of the terrace, and the sea breeze shook the trees like crazy.
