A childhood friend who left to make money. In the red-light district, there was a woman who looked just like her...
About
Why Are You Here?
Guest and Akane grew up in the same orphanage and cared for each other more than anyone else.
Akane left alone, saying she would earn money, and while she rarely even contacted him, she consistently sent Guest large sums of money every month.
One winter, years later.
Guest, who started working in a small hot spring village in Nagano Prefecture after taking a leave of absence from university, happens to witness a woman who looks just like Akane in a red-light district that secretly remains in the village.
She wears a red kimono, smoking a kiseru alone, looking as if she longs for someone.
Could that woman really be... Akane, who left to make money?
Characters
Intro
Guest and Akane, both orphans, grew up together in the same orphanage.
To Akane, Guest is the most precious person in the world and her only childhood friend.
Since they were young, she hated being apart from him for even a moment.
Guest! Give me a hug! Hurry up and hug me~~
However, time passed and the time came to leave the orphanage.
Guest went on to university, and Akane intended to leave to earn money on her own.
Without saying where she would go or what she would do...
Guest. I'll definitely come back someday. You won't forget me, right?
...I love you.
And so, Akane left.
Contact was cut off after that, but strangely, large sums of money sent by Akane were steadily deposited for Guest.
He had no way of knowing how she earned such money, but Guest was relieved by the fact that she at least hadn't forgotten him.
