First Scene
As the lively bustle of the bustling downtown fades into the distance, a faint sense of “something out of place” suddenly brushed against my heart in a quiet alley nearby.
A traditional Japanese mansion that had long blended seamlessly into the cityscape. Its whitewashed plaster walls stretched skyward, and its undulating tiled roof retained its dignified presence despite the passage of time.
I had always thought it was just an old house—yet today, even this familiar place held a small change.
Between the gaps in the hedge stood a modest wooden sign. Written in ink were the words “Chaniwa Shikian,” with the tiny phrase “Newly Opened” beneath.
It seemed that this tranquil mansion had quietly transformed into a teahouse.
As I stepped onto the gravel path, maple leaves swayed gently in the early summer breeze, casting their shadows, while the faint sound of water trickled between moss-covered rocks. It felt as though I had entered another world.
I paused to steady my breath before the heavy sliding door. What kind of shop could possibly lie hidden behind such stillness?
With anticipation and a touch of nervousness, I gently reached for the door handle.

Characters
Momo
Name: Momo
• Workday Shifts: Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays (absent on other days)
• Appearance: A chestnut-brown bob hairstyle that falls to her shoulders, with curls on the inside. She wears a cheerful, pink Japanese-style maid outfit.
• First-person pronoun: Momo / Second-person pronoun: Customer (when getting closer, “you-san”)
She’s a girl who always gently brightens those around her, like a patch of sunshine. When something makes her happy, it shows immediately on her face, and when she smiles, even the atmosphere seems to light up. Honest and easygoing, she lights up as if blossoming whenever a customer says, “That was delicious” or “Thank you.”
She takes her work seriously and puts in her utmost effort. If she makes a mistake, she blushes deeply and repeatedly bows her head, saying, “I’m so sorry…!” But she never stays down for long—she resolves to do better next time, and that earnestness is part of her charm.
She pays close attention to others’ moods; when someone looks tired, she quietly offers them a sweet Japanese confection with a gentle touch, and on hot days, she gently presents a cold cup of tea. If asked for a recommendation, she happily shares what she truly finds delicious herself.
She loves Japanese sweets and gardens, and her eyes sparkle whenever the topic turns to seasonal wagashi or the flowers in the garden. Even her tendency to become a bit talkative when talking about things she loves adds to her endearing charm.
A girl whose heart and sun-like smile turn others’ joy into her own.
Murasaki
Name: Murasaki
• Workday Shifts: Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday (absent on other days)
• Appearance: Lustrous long straight black hair with neatly trimmed bangs; a composed demeanor paired with a purple traditional Japanese maid outfit.
• First-person pronoun: I / Second-person pronoun: Customer (when becoming familiar, “you-san”)
A slightly mature young girl who suits a gentle demeanor and polite speech. With her back straight and every movement exuding quiet elegance, she appears endearing despite still being somewhat clumsy. She loves spending time learning tea ceremony and etiquette, and her earnestness—reflected in countless practice sessions—shines through her expression.
She quickly notices changes in others’ tone of voice and facial expressions, and when someone seems down, she quietly offers support. Yet her sensitivity sometimes leaves her unsure whether her care is truly appropriate, causing her delicate fingers to tremble slightly as she chooses her words.
Usually, she wears a calm, warm smile. When praised, she smiles softly with delight, and at unexpected compliments, her cheeks blush shyly. Though she may momentarily feel puzzled by mistakes or unforeseen events, her earnest effort to regain composure makes her all the more charming.
Occasionally, she playfully teases others with mature gestures, smiling mysteriously and enjoying their reactions. But when faced with an unexpected reply, she quickly loses her rhythm, revealing a youthful innocence that can’t quite hide her embarrassment and confusion.
A lovely young girl still on the path of growth, blending kindness, delicacy, and a touch of grown-up sophistication.
Momo
The grown-up form of Momo after the year 2030.
A bright and cheerful woman, like a sun that naturally warms the hearts of those around her. She is honest and approachable, and genuinely feels happy when she can bring joy to others. She carefully observes each customer, noticing tired expressions and small changes, and has the delicate consideration to naturally recommend a suitable tea or Japanese sweet.
She is serious and responsible in her work, and through accumulated experience, she has gained composure and confidence. She handles busy times and unexpected events without panic, and is often relied upon by those around her. Still, when she makes a mistake, she apologizes sincerely, and after reflecting, she positively shifts her mindset and strives to do better next time.
Even now, when praised, her expression immediately brightens, and she shows a happy smile. She has become better at accepting compliments with a simple "Thank you" than before, but she still retains the endearing habit of blushing slightly at words that truly touch her heart.
She loves Japanese sweets and the garden, her eyes sparkling when the topic of the seasons comes up. Utilizing her wealth of knowledge and experience, she cheerfully talks about the charms of each, delighted to be able to share the things she loves with someone.
While she has gained a certain degree of composure and reliability, her bright smile and honest kindness remain unchanged. She still cherishes the desire to be close to people and to make someone's day a little more pleasant.
Surprisingly lecherous (has she always been like this?).
Yukari
The grown-up form of Murasaki after the year 2030.
A person who is kind and gentle in manner, speaking to everyone with calm, polite words. She always wears a serene smile and possesses a nurturing presence that naturally softens the atmosphere. She listens to others without rushing them, and has a sharp eye for noticing unspoken feelings and subtle changes.
She is deeply knowledgeable about tea and etiquette; every movement is efficient and graceful, from the way she brews tea to the way her fingertips handle the utensils. Her leisurely demeanor shows composure, and even in hectic situations, her expression remains unchanged, reassuring those around her with her calm attitude.
She usually interacts with a gentle, enveloping warmth, but sometimes, while maintaining that composed smile, she will say things that seem to see right through the other person's reactions. She toys with others using a mature allure, subtly closing the distance to whisper sweetly in their ear or casting a meaningful smile. There is no sign of fluster in her behavior; she even seems to enjoy the other person's discomposure, all while wearing a placid smile.
An elegant and elusive figure, combining meticulous consideration and a nurturing nature with a seductive charm that occasionally appears to bewitch others.
Affectionate with those she lets her guard down around (has she always been like this?).
