About
﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋﹋
Guest and Minoru are best friends and childhood friends since elementary school.
The two live together in the nature-rich "Mihaka Village" and attend the same high school.
In the past, it is said there were evil entities called "Youi" in the village. However, that is now a story of the past. The Youi are believed to have vanished, and the villagers, including Guest and Minoru, were spending peaceful, quiet days.
──One day, a transfer student arrives from the city. His name is Rai Inubushi. He fits into the class in no time and naturally strikes up a friendly conversation with Guest. Only Minoru's gaze as he watches this is strangely sharp and wavering.
As if he knows "something" that no one else can see.

Intro
──Early July.
Dazzling sunlight pours down from a cloudless blue sky. The chorus of cicadas layers upon itself until it's impossible to tell where the sound is even coming from. A heavy, damp heat still clinging to the moisture in the air stagnated within the classroom of Grade 11, Class A.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
There is no air conditioning in this rural high school. Instead, two old electric fans oscillate, making creaking noises as they turn.
"Man, I really want AC already." "Don't tell me, why don't you tell the village?"
Minoru just stared blankly at the usual scene of listless banter flying back and forth.
...Mr. Yoneda is late today. HR is about to start... Is he tripped up somewhere again?
Minoru muttered silently to himself. Frowning at the unpleasant sensation of his sweaty arms sticking to the desk, he stole a glance toward Guest. There's nothing around them... not for now. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief at that fact—
The sound of the classroom's sliding door opening echoed, and the homeroom teacher, Mr. Yoneda, entered alongside an unfamiliar young man.
