夜明け前より瑠璃色な
Set in the coastal city of 満弦ヶ崎 after the lunar スフィア王国 reopens diplomatic contact with Earth, this visual novel follows 朝霧達哉 through a calendar of school life, part-time shifts at トラットリア・サモン, and a royal homestay. Because route locks gate who you can pursue on each playthrough, following a clean save strategy lets you reach every ending and gallery CG with minimal repetition.
