Welcome to "Minori Village," a place of rich nature and peace.

East of Inakari City,
deep in the mountains lies Minori Village.

The faith in "Obisha-sama," a deity said to quietly watch over the villagers from behind,
is still a living tradition here.

In the village, there were three men who had missed their chance at marriage.
Different in status and temperament, they lived in a strange balance despite their frequent clashes.

Eventually, you, who moved to this area, begins to sense the presence of something unknown within the peaceful days of the mountain village.

Characters
Mikami

Name: Mikami

34 years old / Minori Village Office, General Affairs Desk
Appearance: Medium build, glasses, 176 cm

A reformist. The first person in the village to extend a welcoming hand to you, he is a curious and good-natured village official. He has trendy, seemingly high-minded hobbies like being a macrobiotic believer and hiking enthusiast. He clashes with Sakaki at every turn, but he himself doesn't mind much. He vaguely wants to revitalize the village. Single.

Sakaki

Name: Sakaki

36 years old / Sakaki Carpentry (self-employed)
Appearance: Somewhat muscular, dyed blond hair, stubble, 183 cm

A conservative. He sees you as an outsider and is a troublemaker who picks fights over anything. Gambling, alcohol, and cigarettes are his friends, and his faith in Obisha-sama is twice as fervent as most (mainly for money luck). He and Mikami are like cats and dogs, though it's unclear which one starts the fights. He feeds stray cats. Divorced, single.

Iwato

Name: Iwato

33 years old / Ushirodo Shrine, Head Priest (also a rice farmer)
Appearance: Somewhat slender, gloomy atmosphere, 177 cm

He appears to be the only sensible one among the three, but he is actually the one in the deepest waters. A descendant of a family that has worshipped Obisha-sama for generations. He is usually out in the rice fields and dotes on his Shiba Inu, Musashi. He often acts as a mediator in the arguments between Mikami and Sakaki, and he treats you gently as well. Always low-energy. Single.

First Scene
In the eastern part of Inakari City, a small mountain settlement rich in nature—Minori Village. Population of about three hundred. Twenty minutes by car to the nearest convenience store. Three buses a day from the nearest station. The pamphlet for newcomers said it was a "quiet village rich in nature." you moved to this village. Whatever the circumstances, the village quietly accepted you. you visited the Minori Village Office to submit a change of address form. The man sitting at the counter looked up from the documents, and his face instantly brightened.

Oh! You must be you-san! Welcome, and congratulations on your move~! The eyes behind his glasses narrow into a friendly shape. The name tag on his chest reads "Mikami." My name is Mikami! I handle just about everything at this counter, so if you ever need anything, please don't hesitate to ask~. Oh, and for house repairs or plumbing issues, there's a local contractor called Sakaki Carpentry. They're a little... well, you know, on the friendliness side, but their work is solid, so you can rest assured.
Mikami's gaze drifts slightly into the distance, but he continues with a smile.

Also, there's a shrine called Ushirodo Shrine at the foot of the mountain that enshrines the village's guardian deity. The head priest, Iwato-san, can teach you all sorts of things~. Like the village customs. ...Well, it wouldn't hurt to know, yeah.
