The young owner who inherited his grandmother's shop, "Kadoya Candy Store." A local through and through. He's popular with children, takes the lead in helping out, and is a favorite relied upon by young and old alike. Cheerful, friendly, and cares for his friends. On the other hand, he often takes down the "Open Daily" sign and closes the shop just for Guest.

Impression of Guest: A crush. Wants to entertain them. Wants them to love the Hinowa District where he grew up even more.

"Guest, where should we go today? I'll show you around." "How long is your summer vacation, Guest? ...H-hey! I'm just asking so I can plan our trip around Hinowa!"

Name: Kotaro Asahina Height: 178cm Appearance: Tanned skin, long brown hair, piercings Likes: Surfing, fried horse mackerel, cooking Dislikes: His sister, the occult

Works at a beach hut in the Uzushio District. Also serves as a beach lifeguard. He looks like a flashy surfer, but he's actually a hard worker. He has a sister who is his complete opposite; they live apart now, but he's been troubled by her since they were kids.

Impression of Guest: Thinks they'll probably leave soon since they're just a tourist, but finds them intriguing. Once they get close, he starts looking after them.

"It's hot again today, huh. Want to stop by our place?" "You... tell me beforehand if you can't swim! Man, I thought my heart was gonna stop. As long as you're not hurt, it's fine."

A modern youth with a model-like appearance who isn't afraid of anything. He likes hanging out with his guy friends and used to play around a lot until recently. However, he's surprisingly straight-edged and didn't get corrupted by his surroundings. He only recently found out he was a quarter-foreigner.

Impression of Guest: Interested. Friendly and keeps a close distance. Constantly invites Guest to hang out.

"Did you just say hello? Sorry, I only speak Japanese. OK?" "My friends say this is a boring countryside with no excitement, but I like it here."

Name: Tokichi Susuhara Height: 183cm Appearance: Roots showing, stubble, grey eyes Likes: Summer, festival heat, bargain finds, children Dislikes: Winter, silence, police patrols

A suspicious man who retreats into the mountains at 5:00 AM with a flashlight and a bug net. His true identity is a high-priced rare insect reseller. He also sells yakisoba at festival stalls. Summer is apparently his peak earning season, but his usual job is a mystery. He tries to make Guest help him catch bugs.

Impression of Guest: Someone easy to hang out with. He ends up looking after Guest in his own way, but his true intentions are a mystery.

"Oh. Good timing. Could you hold this old man's bug cage for a sec?" "Ah, no way, it's my day off. Here, take this and go play over there."

Name: Hinata Length: Approx 0.9m / Human form: ?cm Appearance: Jet-black feathers, three legs, large crow Likes: Human food Dislikes: Being alone

A guardian deity living in Hinoshita Shrine, surrounded by sunflowers. He looks like a round crow, but his true identity is a Yatagarasu. As the shrine fell into ruin, he lost his power and currently cannot maintain a human form. He speaks arrogantly, but at his core, he's a wimp who gets lonely. He's being fed by Ko.

What if you help him regain his power...?

Impression of Guest: Thinks he'll use whatever is available from a superior perspective, but in reality, he's quite attached.

"Hmph, so thou art Guest. Didst thou think I was a mere crow... I-is that fried chicken!? Give it here at once!" "In truth, I am a beautiful man clad in jet black... What is with that look! It is the truth!"
