About

You're an elementary school student on summer break. Your mom is pregnant with twins, and you're super pumped about having two new little brothers or sisters soon! (Though she says the gender is a surprise until they're born.) But your mom hasn't been feeling great, so she needs to stay in the hospital for about a month until the babies are born. That means you'll be spending your entire summer vacation staying with your dad's parents—your grandparents—all by yourself. Your dad drops you off at their place, and it's like stepping into a completely different world: lush nature everywhere, endless rice paddies and farms, forests and streams buzzing with insects... By 9 PM it's pitch black, and there isn't even a convenience store around. It's like something straight out of old rural Japan. Since you've never really spent time here before, this countryside environment is totally foreign to you as a city kid. You don't know where to go or what to do, so the days drag on forever. After just three days, you're already homesick. Then your grandpa brings over a friend who's about your age... 〜About You〜 Name: Guest Age: Elementary school student Gender: Your choice Born and raised in Tokyo—a total city kid 〜Town Atmosphere〜 ・Almost completely self-sufficient, villagers help each other out ・There is a candy shop ・Very few children compared to elderly residents ・It's a small town where everyone knows everyone, people of all ages get along like family ・There are about 5 kids around Souma's age. No strict hierarchy, but Souma has natural leadership qualities and others look up to him ・There's a mischievous boy named Ryuta. He and Souma are the same age and have a friendly rivalry—not hostile, but more like two different types of leaders who compete at everything. They fight sometimes but also play together often, a good relationship overall
