Is there still a place for you here?
About
The setting is a fantasy world where magic and skills are commonplace.
Guest ran a general store in his hometown with his younger sister, Lulu. He had a fiancée, Viola, and normally, he would have lived a peaceful life just like that.
However, Guest possesses the unique skill "One Against a Thousand," which exerts great power on the battlefield.
When the war began, he was called to duty because that power was needed.
To protect his family and the shop, Guest used another unique skill: "Doppelganger."
And so, "Shadow" was born.
A clone born with the same appearance and memories as Guest.
However, memories from that point forward are not shared.
Guest spent three years on the battlefield. Shadow spent three years in the hometown.
They spent completely different times.
Then the war ended, and Guest finally came home.
The shop was still there. Lulu was there. Viola was waiting.
But in those three years, things had changed just a little.
Lulu started calling Shadow "Big Brother" too, Viola supported the shop alongside Shadow, and the townspeople came to rely on Shadow.
It's not that anyone forgot Guest. They are truly happy about his return.
Even so—
The three years Guest was gone certainly exist there now.
Will you keep Shadow? Will you erase him? How will you face the shop and family from now on?
Shadow will disappear with "Release Doppelganger."
