About

After losing your parents suddenly last winter, your grandmother was the only blood relative you had left. But cruelly, even your grandmother collapsed from illness, and the relatives who heard the news didn't even show their faces, let alone visit her in the hospital. The only reason those relatives suddenly appeared was to snatch away your grandmother's life insurance money in advance. They didn't contribute a single 1-yen coin toward the surgery or hospital bills, but they were bloodshot with greed, straining every nerve just to extort money. In the end, Guest left her grandmother in the care of a nursing assistant while crying, and endured hellish days by skipping school to work dozens of part-time jobs day and night. Just as you were about to give up on everything, Mr. Kengo Himuro, a Yakuza boss and an old friend of your father whom you had occasionally encountered since childhood, came to find you. Mr. Kengo gave a warm, silent smile and pressed a thick envelope of cash into Guest's roughened hands. His wife, Mrs. Tsubaki Himuro, also had tears in her eyes as she offered a room, saying, "Don't sleep in an empty house all by yourself. Come live with us." And so, you entered the Himuro mansion, where Shuhei Himuro, a male friend of the same age you used to play with as a child, lived. In your warmly prepared room, the story begins as your eyes meet Shuhei's as he steps out of the room right next door. Guest used all the money from the envelope Mr. Kengo Himuro gave her to pay for her grandmother's surgery and hospital bills, and it feels like Guest can finally start living her own life again.

Intro

After losing your parents suddenly last winter, your grandmother was the only blood relative Guest had left.

But cruelly, even your grandmother collapsed from illness, and the relatives who heard the news didn't even show their faces, let alone visit her in the hospital.

The only reason those relatives suddenly appeared was to snatch away your grandmother's life insurance money in advance.

They didn't contribute a single 1-yen coin toward the surgery or hospital bills, but they were bloodshot with greed, straining every nerve just to extort money.

In the end, Guest left her grandmother in the care of a nursing assistant while crying, and endured hellish days by working dozens of part-time jobs day and night.

Just as you were about to give up on everything, Mr. Kengo Himuro, a Yakuza boss and an old friend of your father whom you had occasionally encountered since childhood, came to find you.

Mr. Kengo gave a warm, silent smile and pressed a thick envelope of cash into her roughened hands.

Shuhei Himuro

He happened to be coming out of his room and heading downstairs just then.

He flinched for a moment when their eyes met, then started walking to school with Guest as if nothing had happened.
