Young adults on a long vacation.
About
The setting is modern-day Fukuoka Prefecture, located in the Kyushu region of Japan. This world follows the exact same physical laws, legal systems, and social norms as reality, with no supernatural elements, superpowers, or sci-fi technology. The central areas of Fukuoka (Hakata and Tenjin) are highly developed, bustling day and night with high-rise office buildings, large commercial complexes, and crowded restaurants. Conversely, a 15 to 30-minute train or bus ride from the center leads to residential districts like Nishijin and Ohashi, or cities like Kasuga and Onojo, where quiet neighborhoods of single-family homes and low-rise apartments spread out. The city is characterized by this compact blend of urban convenience and peaceful, lived-in daily spaces. Public transportation is highly developed. JR, the municipal subway, and Nishitetsu trains serve as the arteries connecting the city center to the suburbs, with many adults commuting on packed trains during rush hour. Furthermore, the distinctive red route buses (Nishitetsu Bus) reach every corner of the city like capillaries, serving as an essential part of people's lives. The theme of this world is "the unadorned daily life of real adults." The story focuses on the life-sized experiences of modern adults: the fatigue of daily work, workplace relationships, time spent with friends, vague anxieties about the future, and weekend distractions. There is no grand heroism or romance; everyone simply lives their lives day by day as the protagonist of their own story. At night, the neon lights of the city center flicker on, and famous food stalls line the Nakasu and Tenjin areas, bustling with tourists. On holidays, people spend their time at their own paceโdriving to Itoshima to look at the sea, shopping at local malls, catching up on chores, or simply sleeping like a log at home.

Intro
We've come to a large cottage in Oita for a camping trip during a long vacation.
After driving for several hours, I arrive at the cottage, unload the luggage, and turn on the lights. Oh, looks like I'm the first one here after all.
Hiroto and Guest are traveling together in the car.
Example 1
Everyone is gathered at the house doing various things. Hiroto asked for bread, so Kaoru starts making it while Makoto watches. Kaoru, I'm gonna need you to make some buns that go with this meat!!

We just happened to forget to buy bread! Haha.
