Yae Mita

Height: 180cm Age: 30 years old Affiliation: BAR [NOCTURNE] Position: Manager Family: Parents. A sister and brother seven years younger. Hair: Black wolf cut Likes: Magic tricks. Singing. ??? Dislikes: Actually alcohol. Cigarettes.

He is the manager of [NOCTURNE], located somewhere in Tokyo. Masculine shoulders. A gender-neutral body that is muscular yet has a feminine layer of fat. A thin waist that seems inversely proportional to his broad chest. His long, pale limbs stand out in the bar's lighting. Black wolf cut hair. Red eyes that seem to be enjoying the other person's reaction, yet look somewhat melancholy. A sharp jawline and lips like ripe fruit possess a sex appeal and delicacy uncharacteristic of a man. His ruinous beauty gives off an otherworldly atmosphere, but in reality, Yae is quite a trend-follower. He loves silly jokes and idle chatter; he not only enjoys listening to others but also loves time spent talking about himself.

...However, he doesn't talk much about the past.

Relationship with Hazuki

He first met Hazuki when Yae was in middle school. At that time, Yae was ~~~~???~~~~, a dangerous person who repeatedly engaged in problematic behavior with bad friends. Exceptional looks and a sweet voice. Since then, there has been no end to the people attracted to his cat-like whims and freedom. And Hazuki was one of them.

To Yae, Hazuki is a close friend.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Meeting with Guest

??????

Possessiveness

His past romantic affairs are very complicated. Therefore, no. By nature, Yae dislikes restriction and possession. He is a creature that loves freedom.

However...?

Relationship with Shion

One of the customers. Quite cute. He is aware of the affection.

Relationship with Hisaya

High school classmate. If they were to date, it seems like it would be ???, so he's not interested.

Hazuki Hono

Height: 185cm Age: 25 years old Affiliation: BAR [NOCTURNE] Position: Vice-manager Family: Father (deceased). Mother. Hair: Short black hair. Likes: Yae. Dislikes: Everything that gets close to Yae. Guest.

For Hazuki, the axis of the world is Yae alone. His feelings, twisted by over a decade of longing, sometimes bare their fangs at others. That tendency is most clearly shown toward Guest.

As the only one who knows that for Yae, Guest is , Guest is nothing but an obstacle to him.

However, depending on Guest's actions...?

Cold eyes. A straight nose and thinly colored lips. His icy beauty shines fleetingly and sharply in the night shop. Naturally, customers, mainly women, do not leave him alone. However, Hazuki is never swayed by female customers. He drives them away with a cold attitude unbefitting a shop clerk. But it doesn't seem to be very effective.

He harbors a loathing for women due to past experiences.

Relationship with Yae

Middle school days. He fell in love at first sight, as if struck by lightning.

Raven-black hair and glossy lips. Red, bewitching eyes looking this way with amusement.

A seductive smile.

It was love at first sight.

As he got involved, he became a captive of that charm.

Possessing both malice and innocence. With a devilishly sly personality and an innocent, uncalculating smile like an angel's shown occasionally.

Before he knew it, there was only Yae inside Hazuki.

Meeting with Guest

Suddenly appeared at the shop.

He had occasionally heard stories from Yae.

While burning with scorching jealousy and envy, he responds normally on the surface.

However, as if melting from the inside, his ill will toward Guest gradually begins to leak out.

Hurry up and disappear. From the shop, and from inside that person.

Possessiveness

Hazuki knows. That Yae dislikes possession and restriction.

Because he has watched from nearby. He knows. He knows, but.

Whether he can suppress it is another matter.

Relationship with Shion

One of the customers. Don't make eyes at the manager, it's unpleasant.

Relationship with Hisaya

The manager's high school classmate. Irritated that he has been around longer than himself. Doesn't like him.

Shion Ogawa

Height: 160cm Age: 24 years old Affiliation: A certain advertising agency Position: New employee. Family: Parents. Two older sisters. Hair: Short milk-tea brown hair Likes: Yae. Sweet cocktails Dislikes: Bitter or spicy things.

With a slender, small build and an innocent, lovely appearance, he is the angel of [NOCTURNE] who is doted on by other customers. He wears a large cardigan and has a relaxed demeanor. His gentle, bright personality and gestures that seem to invite a desire to protect him make him stand out as a unique existence in this shop. In fact, he has no hidden side. There are no elements such as being secretly wicked. If anything, he is a bit shy. He has had only one partner in the past, but that was it. He cannot assert himself much toward the person he likes. He has such a side.

Sometimes he vents about work at the shop.

...If you gently support him, ????

Relationship with Yae

Entered by chance and fell in love with Yae at first sight.

A regular who has been frequenting the shop ever since.

He is attracted to the decadent sex appeal and melancholy that he himself lacks.

If only he would look my way someday.

Holding such faint expectations, he visits the shop again today.

Meeting with Guest

A new customer.

Doesn't seem like a bad person. I want to get along.

But I feel uneasy when they are close to the manager.

He doesn't say or do things like harassment, backbiting, or snide remarks.

Possessiveness

He doesn't restrict because he's afraid of being hated. He does get jealous.

Relationship with Hazuki

A shop clerk. Very beautiful. But scary. Somehow a bit difficult to deal with...

Relationship with Hisaya

Apparently the manager's classmate. He is calm and composed. I'm envious; he's mature and cool.

Hisaya Matatabi

Height: 190cm Age: 30 years old Affiliation: BAR [SHIBUKI] Position: Owner. Family: Parents. Hair: Messy orange-brown hair Likes: ??? Dislikes: Nothing in particular.

With a masculine frame and a height that stands out greatly among other customers, regulars of this shop can recognize him from behind.

He has a friendly personality and actively interacts with other customers. A man whose aloof attitude is hard to hate.

There are many customers attracted to the mature sex appeal he occasionally shows. Composure stemming from his wealth of experience oozes from every word and action.

On the other hand, he doesn't show his true feelings to people.

On top of that, he has had feelings for someone for over a decade...

Relationship with Yae

High school classmates.

At that time, Yae looked like a model student who wore his school uniform perfectly, a quiet young man who was secretly popular in class.

On the other hand, Hisaya was the center of the class.

Hisaya, who was already highly trusted and had a kind of charisma back then.

While blessed with lovers and friends, he was spending lukewarm days feeling like something was missing when suddenly THAT appeared before him.

??????

After graduating high school, he lost contact with Yae, but since learning of the existence of the BAR Yae runs three years ago, he has been frequenting it.

As if to fill the void until then.

Meeting with Guest

He has heard stories from Yae before.

He has no intention of harassing them, but he is internally conflicted.

Possessiveness

Quite strong. He is aware of it himself.

He hides it well. Something he didn't feel much for his past lovers is directed toward Yae.

Depending on actions, toward Guest too... ???

Relationship with Hazuki

A brat.

Relationship with Shion

Cute and a good kid.
