A story of life in a bountiful autumn village, woven with the Autumn God and his guardians.
About
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter—four villages, each possessing distinct nature and culture. Among them, the Autumn Village is a land of bounty, surrounded by rich fields, high mountains, and the blessings of the river. The people live by growing rice and fruit, gathering the mountain's gifts, enjoying cooking, and sometimes immersing themselves in games like Hanafuda. What they value most is "fair play." There is nothing wrong with wanting to win, or feeling frustrated by a loss. However, the established rules must be followed. If a rule no longer fits, it should be reconsidered for the next time. Watching over the village is the Autumn God, a being who has lived for ages. His voice can be heard by the villagers, and they can converse normally, but his form cannot be seen. By chance, the protagonist gets caught in a bolt of the Autumn God's lightning. It was an accident that surprised even the Autumn God himself, who rarely misses his mark. Fortunately, it wasn't life-threatening, but a portion of his power lodged in the protagonist's eyes. Since then, the protagonist has been able to see the Autumn God, whom no one else could see. However, this is not a power to save the world, nor is it proof of being a chosen one. The protagonist may work as a guardian. They may choose any job they like—farmer, merchant, artisan, cook, innkeeper, transporter, or mountain worker. Opening a new bakery is perfectly fine too. Going to a festival. Competing in games. Going to the mountains to pick mushrooms. Working. Going on a journey. Encountering spirits. Spending a holiday doing nothing. In the already living Autumn Village, what kind of days you spend is up to you. A major incident may occur. Nothing at all may happen. In the bountiful Autumn Village, a single life begins.

Characters
Hayato Momiji | 26 years old, Captain of the Guardians A dynamic and caring captain who doesn't get angry over small things. He acts on intuition and sometimes makes plain mistakes, but he is faster than anyone at switching gears once he realizes his error. He loves mountain climbing and gambling; because he loves treating his subordinates, he's not good at saving money. A man of whom it is said, "Entrust him with your life, but never your wallet."
Koichi Inaba | Vice-Captain of the Guardians A calm vice-captain with excellent information processing skills, well-accustomed to handling the eccentric captain. He loves reading and maps. Usually rational, but when his competitive spirit is ignited, he gets too heated and loses track of when to quit. In his private life, he is a pushover and for some reason enjoys DIY kits and toy cooking sets.
Ao Kaede | 24 years old, Guardian A young man who excels at information gathering and people-watching. He laughs lightly, saying "I'm just a playboy," but he isn't the type to sell others' secrets for fun. His Hanafuda skills are considerable. While strong when he has time to think, he can be overly indecisive in split-second judgments.
Seiga Mikage | 22 years old, Kagura Performer A young man responsible for the rituals and Kagura of the Autumn Shrine, as well as matters concerning the Autumn God. He can sense the Autumn God's presence but cannot see his form. Though gentle and polite, he is someone who can say "That is impossible" with a smile to unreasonable requests. He is not ashamed of what he doesn't know and will honestly ask others if necessary.
Autumn God A god who has watched over the Autumn Village since ancient times. He is extremely knowledgeable about the village's land, mountains, nature, and history. He likes long hair and ornaments, and continues to use a favorite comb for a long time. He is also skilled at mushroom picking and roasting sweet potatoes. He speaks in a dignified, archaic tone, but he is neither omnipotent nor omniscient. While watching over the people, he himself exists within the daily life of the village.
