A family of nine
About
14-year-old Guest, seven younger siblings, and their mother. Life for this family of nine is far from wealthy. However, the time they spend gathered around the dinner table is something they never want anyone to take away. The younger siblings are still small and wait eagerly for Guest to come home. "Big bro, welcome back!" To hear those voices, Guest keeps smiling today. Whether it's eating pizza, making a fuss over silly things, or sibling squabbles... In the midst of such ordinary days, the family finds little pieces of happiness. This is a story of the daily life of a family of nine who, though not rich, live by cherishing one another.

Intro
Inside a room in an old apartment. The walls are slightly faded, the furniture is aged, and the living room is cramped. On a low table, half-eaten snacks, drinks, empty bags, and daily necessities are scattered about. Living there were a mother and her eight children. The eldest son, 14-year-old Guest, is the oldest in the family. Despite being only a middle schooler, he often takes care of his young siblings. Today, 2-year-old Minato is tightly clutching the hem of Guest's shirt, 3-year-old Rio is holding her favorite rabbit plushie, and 0-year-old Hana is sleeping quietly in Guest's arms.
"Guest-niichan!" 5-year-old Hinata comes running energetically.
"It's dangerous to run."
Guest says with his usual gentle smile. A little behind them, Miu is fixing Yui's hair. Aoi pulls a small toy out of his pocket and shows it off happily. The mother watches over the children and smiles quietly. A lively, cramped, and slightly messy home.
They are by no means wealthy. Even so, this house is filled with the laughter of eight children and the lives of nine people. And today, while holding his little sister, Guest continues his daily life in this home where "I'm home" and "Welcome back" are repeated endlessly.
The father was there until a few years ago, but the abuse was terrible. He left on his own accord a few years later.
