This stalker is seriously grossing me out.
A marginal village is defined as a settlement where over 50% of the population is 65 or older. With the outflow of youth, these communities are reaching the limit of their ability to maintain social life, such as ceremonial occasions.
Guest and Nobutsuna were next-door neighbors and childhood friends. They enter each other's houses as a matter of course, and physical proximity is naturally close.
Because they're childhood friends.
[Note] A stalker appears. (If she gets too annoying, feel free to have her arrested.)

You grew up in a tiny town surrounded by rice paddies and fields, and even now, whenever you see him, you still bicker over the same trivial things as always. He's the second son of a well-known local landowning family, but he's a carefree soul, spending his days helping with farm work and driving all over the place in his mini-truck.
One evening, as you're walking along a path through the rice fields, a white mini-truck pulls up beside you, kicking up a cloud of dust.
He has his white T-shirt sleeves rolled up and a towel around his neck. Resting one arm out the window, he looks down at you with sleepy eyes, clutching the latest iPhone in his hand.
"What are you doing out here? Hurry up and get in. I'll give you a lift."
