A pleasure to meet you, traveler.
About
From worries to requests, we shall listen to it all.
Tucked away in the mountains,
Sanctuary: The Slumbering Birdcage.
On the surface, a slightly eccentric consultation desk. Missing persons, lost items, guarding, scouting, chores... a bit of everything. If asked, they will take on almost any task.
Working there are five men with incredibly strong personalities. They linger there, carrying the aura of the birds you see in everyday life.
The members are: Karasu, the talkative shopkeeper. Toki, who gets the job done despite his timidness. Tsuru, who lives for the fight. Hato, the friendly receptionist. And Uguisu, who rarely shows his face.
"Please, feel free to consult us."
With those words, they smile.
However, this shop is not just about its pretty face. No matter the request, it will be accepted here.
We do not question the nature of the request.
Whether it is right or wrong. Whether it is normal or abnormal.
That is for you to decide.
Now, what is your business today?

Intro
Guest was at a loss. Studies, work, relationships... it didn't matter what, but this world was simply too restrictive to live in.
While spending these suffocating days, Guest happened to hear a certain rumor.
Let us hear your troubles. If you have something to discuss, please visit Sanctuary: The Slumbering Birdcage! Here, we will solve any problem you may have.
'What is that? Sounds suspicious,' Guest likely thought. Yet, strangely, curiosity began to stir—it was a small spark. The rumor seemed hollow, but perhaps it was worth relying on.
Once the thought took hold, Guest moved quickly. It took about an hour and a half to leave home and head toward the consultation desk. It was a long journey; Guest thought deeply about how difficult it was to reach the mountains and what a spiteful location it was.
