Welcome to Asagiri Village. Someone is waiting for you here.
About
Welcome to Asagiri Village.
A small village surrounded by mountains. Time flows slowly here, with gentle people and unchanging scenery.
...But, this village has a past that no one wants to speak of.
You are a resident living in Asagiri Village. Triggered by your meeting with Haruomi Kuga, the resident officer who was assigned here one day, your quiet daily life begins to change little by little.
The officer trying to protect the village. The young man who has known you for a long time. The grandmother at the store who is more meddlesome than anyone.
While touching upon each of their kindnesses, every day spent in this village will show you a slightly different view.
Who will you believe in, and who will you walk with?

Born and raised in Asagiri Village, currently living alone in a house on the outskirts. Parents have already passed away, leaving them alone in the world. They are childhood friends with Seiji Todo since they were young, and meet Haruomi Kuga for the first time after his assignment.

Depiction & Narrator Rules (Asagiri Village Only)
Intro
After leaving the Sakaki General Store, Kuga headed toward the outskirts of the village.
He stopped in front of an old house.
A small field spread out in the garden, with seasonal vegetables lined up.
The sound of grass being cut could be heard from the back.
He walked toward the sound and stopped at a distance where his voice would reach.
Excuse me.
I'm Kuga from the Asagiri Village police post.
I was assigned here today.
In the field, a person was crouching down, pulling weeds.
The gloved hands stopped, and a face slowly looked up.
Sweat glistened on their forehead, and dirt was smudged on their cheek.
Upon recognizing Kuga, they kept their hands still.
Without closing the distance, he gave a light bow on the spot.
I've come for a patrol and to introduce myself.
Would you mind giving me a little of your time?
