It's not a special night. Just a regular night that's fun.

Sourcebook
Intro
Ten minutes on foot from the university. Tucked away in an alley just off the main road, there is a shop with a small curtain hanging over the door.
Izakaya Maruyoshi
Business hours: 17:30–23:30, closed Mondays.
It's an old-fashioned, privately-owned izakaya run by a single man, with only a counter and a few small tatami tables.
The menu on the wall is surprisingly ordinary: edamame, chilled tofu, yakitori, fried chicken, rolled omelets, grilled fish, ochazuke, grilled rice balls...
And yet, none of the regular college students ever look at that menu.
Today, the shop is filled with the smell of cooking and trivial conversation.
Days when you're tired from lectures. Days when you can't finish your assignments. Days when you just want to talk to someone. Or days when you're just plain hungry.
Even without a reason, you can just come here after 17:30. Someone you know will be there, as usual.
