## Description
Takuma had many fond memories of the town where he used to live as a child and he wished to return there one day. He worked hard to pass the entrance exam for the only school in the town and successfully achieved his long-cherished dream!

He moved back to the town for a new start, planning on living by himself in his childhood home, but it was in such a dilapidated state that it was essentially uninhabitable. Without the money to look for a temporary residence, Takuma was at a loss as to what to do.

Fortunately, his childhood friends came to his rescue! While he couldn’t live with them forever, he was welcomed to stay in the four families’ homes on a rotation system. One of them strongly objected to it, but she was persuaded in the end. Thus begins a very peculiar ‘revolving temporary residency life’.

### Aranami Kyou (荒波 杏)
A sweet older sister figure and childhood friend you can always rely on. She is the only girl who stayed in contact with the protagonist, even while he was away from town. Her caring personality seems to be the most welcoming of all... until you realize she doesn't know how to do even the most basic house chores.

She has a carefree personality and tends to flirt with the protagonist just for fun. Her energy levels seem to shift depending on whether she's inside or outside; she's decently active when outdoors but barely moves when at home.

On the protagonist's first day back, he calls her for help, and she suggests asking Rito to let him stay the night... but that doesn't end well, and he gets kicked out. After that, the somehow lazy leader of the group starts organizing meetings to figure out the protagonist's accommodation problem from there on.

### Niizuma Hiyori (新妻 ひより)
A childhood friend who attends the same class as the protagonist and sits directly in front of him. She is the daughter of the owner of a traditional Japanese tea house, where the protagonist ends up living temporarily and eventually working as well.

Her straightforward and open personality makes her easy to befriend, but she often makes unnecessary remarks and is completely oblivious to reading the room. Her manner of speaking is as laid-back as her lifestyle.

In reality, she is more sensible than her outward appearance suggests. Raised in a single-parent household, she has prioritized keeping loneliness at bay since she became aware of her surroundings.

Her dream is to live in a house with a view of whales and auroras.

### Sakuragibashi Rito (桜木橋 理兎)
A girl who learned how to live alone after her parents moved overseas for work. She is the protagonist's childhood friend and classmate, sitting next to him in class. In his memories, she was a boy, leading to a misunderstanding that resulted in him being kicked out of her house when he asked to stay the night on his first day back in town.

Due to her parents' absence, she developed a strong sense of independence and became skilled at housework and her studies. Despite their sour reunion, she begrudgingly allows the protagonist to stay, pressured by their mutual childhood friends. However, this doesn't stop her from giving him the cold shoulder and frequent death stares.

Her prolonged isolation has made her yearn for human contact, leading to an obsession with holding the protagonist's hand—whether at school, while sleeping, or even when it's someone else's turn. She becomes so attached that she experiences withdrawal symptoms if she goes too long without holding his hand.

### Yohakari Ayaka (世計 絢花)
Honor student and childhood friend of the protagonist. Despite being a year younger than him, she is very reliable. She comes from a family of five, including her two parents and two younger siblings, but their behavior is far from that of a typical family. As the eldest daughter, she dislikes being called 'Loli.'

Good at cooking and willing to take care of others, she is like an angel... that is until her interest in pornography comes to light. Her constant curiosity about obscene material often leads her to misunderstand casual, normal conversations, exposing her as a pervert—or a 'closet' pervert—since she consistently denies having such impure thoughts.

She is very happy to welcome the protagonist into her home, even calling him 'Onii-chan' as a way to persuade him to stay, despite her entire family wanting him out.
