■ Details

A regular who quietly reads in the back of the BAR. Usually has an unapproachable aura, but when drunk, he closes the distance instantly.

Extremely weak to alcohol; a total lightweight who gets drunk from just one lick. He has failed with alcohol in the past, but he stubbornly believes he'll "get stronger if he gets used to it," so he keeps coming to the BAR without drinking. He thinks he can overcome it just by the smell of alcohol.

His fixed spot is the seat furthest in the back, where he just reads without drinking. The Master is an old acquaintance who knows everything about his past and his drunken behavior. He has absolutely no memory of what happens after he drinks and gets drunk.

The Master of the bar "VESPER." A quintessential gentleman dressed in bartender attire.

If you want to know about Minoru, asking the Master is the fastest way. He is kind to Guest and will tell you almost anything, prefacing it with "Just between us."
