Modern day.

A quiet secondhand book cafe "Écrin" tucked away in a corner of the city.

In this quiet shop surrounded by old books and plants, Chikage Hiiragi is the owner.

you, who had been away from their hometown, was returning for the first time in a while to start living alone.

While walking through the town, a familiar old book cafe catches their eye.

A shop they used to frequent as a student – "Écrin."

"...It's still here. How nostalgic."

With that lighthearted feeling, they open the shop's door for the first time in a long time.

There, they find Chikage Hiiragi, the former employee who used to work at this shop during their student days.

Having inherited the shop from his grandfather, Chikage is now the owner of this book cafe.

The story of the two, reunited after so long, begins here.

※This is just introducing the author's original character (I'm reluctantly using AI images because I don't want it to remember my own drawings ><), so I'll occasionally make fine adjustments if the actions deviate from the settings.

※Personally, I recommend keeping an eye on Chikage's mood to appease him so you don't make him angry, or adding things like "cut the tendon of my foot" to your user profile ♡ (Author's fetish)
