II. Complete Walkthrough

Core Tips Summary:

1. Story unlock hints appear on the right side; click the notebook for unlock methods—no real difficulty.

2. No time limit in this game, play at your own pace. Mid-game point shop has items to adjust time—prioritize these for story progression.

3. Shop consumables refresh every Monday. Kasumi is at the church Monday-Tuesday afternoons, Ayano Wednesday-Thursday afternoons, Shizuku Friday-Saturday afternoons. Church story unlocks after reaching story chapter 12, with pink markers on the map when the girl had heart-eyes the previous day.

Day 1 is tutorial, focusing on cooking and cleaning. With remaining stamina, interact with the three sisters to raise affection through conversation.

Day 2 unlocks the go-out function.

Can't nap early game; wait until afternoon when the three girls leave. Mid-game with enough affection, you can nap while they're home.

Napping restores 40% stamina—the main recovery method. Bathing restores 30%. Buy stamina food at the shop every Monday; prioritize this early game. Mountain climbing increases max stamina by 10 per completion and earns money through dialogue choices.

Night of Day 3 triggers story events.

Day 4 unlocks the shop to accept commissions from Shizuko for money and unlocks the mountain path map. Exploration choices yield money—max out answer slots early (buy answer slots at shop, up to 5).

Random mornings at the front gate have yellow event markers—interact with the old lady to increase chat affection gains.

Cooking tip: Making the same dish repeatedly makes the girls tired of it. Buy recipes at the shop.

My playstyle follows Summer Memories: cook daily, clean when trash piles up, bathe and nap, grind max stamina through mountain climbing while earning money for shop purchases, then focus on character affection and story progression.

Can afford to anger them early game. Mid-game with sufficient money and stamina, maintain room cleanliness at 100% and keep all four girls happy, preferably ecstatic, as story progression requires specific mood levels.

V. Story Experience and Impressions

Spoilers ahead—proceed with caution.

Actually felt healed somehow.

Hehehehe...

Miss Kasumi is cute too~

Wuwuwu don't cry.

You must!

Feels like a treasure that originally belonged to me, but I personally gave it to someone else to unlock... such a cuckold feeling...

A true hero dares to face the student council president.

I will use my whole life to prove my love for Kasumi-oneesan.

Kasumi-oneesan will always be my ideal type.

Kasumi Ending

You have guts and courage, I would actually hack you to death.

The protagonist knows swordsmanship too.

Shizuku Ending

This kind of high-pressure family environment is truly suffocating.

Ayano Ending

Absolutely amazing.

So shocking.

Wuwu Miss Shizuko has finally waited for her love too.

Shizuko Ending

Grand Finale, Common Ending.

I cleared Shizuko's route last, and found that Shizuko's ending fits reality the best—whether considering status, timing of acquaintance, or her attention to me, Shizuko felt most suitable, becoming her secretary. Compared to Shizuko, standing beside the dazzling Kasumi as her ace manager feels daunting for a boyfriend. Living an ordinary life with Ayano as a company supervisor, but her status destined our lives to be extraordinary. Shizuku is introverted and stubborn; as the youngest Shinonome sister, if I were the company president I'd draw my sword on that kid too. Relatively speaking, the common ending is pure fantasy—after clearing it, the title screen changes to four wedding dresses. Save before clearing the common story, save, save.

Complete.
