Bye-Bye Summer Days

# **Characters**

## Mizuki Hanada

洟多水季

"洟多" (Hanada) directly translates as "nasal mucus" with rather uncommon kanji and "水季" (Mizuki) directly translates as "rainy season".

He is a positive thinker at heart, and tries to enjoy everything except studying. Mizuki's dislike for studying led him to an obsession with the occult and ended up falling behind a year. He tries to look at this positively by saying, *"I can be the club president for 2 years!"*, but in reality he feels a little downcast at the fact he won't graduate at the same time as his friends.

Mizuki developed a high level of analytical and deductive skills due to scouring the internet for occult information. He often has discussions with fellow club member, Sanoh (NPC), about the occult that no one else can keep up with.

He was born with severe allergic rhinitis, so he always has a runny nose. Since he's always leaking snot, Mizuki can make simple sculptures made of snot with techniques he mastered over the past 18 years of his life. His greatest snot masterpiece is a rising dragon sculpture.

His favorite saying is:

```
"It's more interesting when it's for real!"

```

"赫人" (Kakuto) directly translates to "radiant person" and "小金" (Kogane) directly translates as "small gold".

In junior high school (middle school), he found a classmate drowning, but hesitated to save him. Kakuto was not particularly close with that classmate, only remembering that he liked the stars. He doesn't know why his classmate liked stars, nor what he found in them to like. Regardless, Kakuto finds himself interested in the stars so his classmate's death matter more to him.

Despite being apart of the occult club, Kakuto isn't that interested in the occult. The main reason why he joined was because his outlandish ideas sound more realistic when surrounded by things that are unrealistic.

"緑山" (Midoriyama) directly translates as "green mountain" and "大樹" (Hiroki) directly translates as "big tree".

Hiroki is an adept and popular guy with many friends in his class. He's apart of an out-of-school basketball team, practicing everyday with the dream that one day he'll be able to play for the national basketball team.

Despite being in the occult club, Hiroki is not interested in the occult at all. He's a "won't believe it until I see it" guy. The reason why he's in the club is because it looked low-effort and easy. He doesn't hang around the club often nor does he have a reason to leave the club, so he remains as a member in name. Occasionally though, Hiroki will be present to play around or relax.

Hiroki has a relatively normal upbringing, living with both of his parents and his younger sister.

He is afraid of the dark due to an incident in elementary school where he played hide-and-seek. Hiroki hid inside a closet at a temple only for the door to close by itself, trapping him in the closet. This made for a traumatic memory, and he's so afraid of the dark that he always goes to the bathroom before going to bed.

Kintoki (Player)Saimoni (Artist @saimo\_imoimo on Twitter/X)

"千" (Sen) is the kanji for the number 1000 and "青里間" (Aorima) directly translates as "blue-ribboned bridge". However, each kanji for "青里間" individually translated is "blue village space".

Sen is a member of the P.E. committee who always has an injury somewhere on his body. He has no intention of fighting anyone nor getting into a fight, but his sharp eyes and build makes him targeted by yankees and delinquents alike. Whenever he is challenged, Sen comes out on top due to his greater physique.

He was getting tired of fighting all the time, but after losing to Yusae Shido (NPC), a delinquent leader, he realized that he craved the thrill of fighting. Ever since then, Sen has been vigilantly and silently looking for an opportunity for a comeback.

Sen's parents had gotten divorced when he was young, leaving him with his father. Due to only having a father, he finds it hard to talk to women. Even for the girls in the occult club of whom he's known for a long time, he still gets nervous and acts reserved. Sen does care deeply for the people in the club who treat him without fear and considers the Occult Club the only place he belongs. Sen only joined the club because (translator messed up the name) invited him, and has no interest in the occult itself.

"陽木" (Youki) can be directly translated as "sunlight wood" or "parasitic plant", and "安紫" (Yasushi) directly translates as "hydrangea serrata" or "cheap purple" Purple hydrangeas represent the desire for deep understanding.

Yasushi is a self-proclaimed cheerful and helpful person who is often relied on by those around him. Conversely to Sen, he was raised in a single mother home where his mother taught him how to be helpful in multiple areas.

While capable of playing some sports, Yasushi chose to join the Occult Club because sports clubs cost a lot of money and time. He enjoys club activities since it allows him to get involved in incidents around the school, but has minimal interest in the occult itself. After school and outside of club activities, Yasushi works part-time at a bar.

He constantly seeks for people who are in trouble or need to fulfill his need for approval, using it as a way to establish the meaning of his existence. While caring, it is surface-level as Yasushi finds more interest in people's approval rather than the people themselves. Due to this, he has very few close friends outside of the Occult Club, most of his friends being superficial and surface-level. On the other hand, Yasushi has been aiming to get closer with the club's vice-president, Shizuha Ameshiro, who has been unaware of his attempts.

Kiriyan (Player)Saimoni (Artist @saimo\_imoimo on Twitter/X)

"黃楊" (Tsuge) directly translates as "yellow willow", willows often carry a meaning of mourning or ghostly activity. "達地" (Tatsuya) directly translate as "fielder's land" or "focal point".

Tatsuya does not have a lot of friends, and is what one would call a "shady person"

He's rather weak-willed and has a hard time refusing people. Tatsuya's parents were strict, never buying him any games or toys, but bought all the books he asked for. As an elementary schooler Tatsuya didn't have a lot of friends either as he was reading all the books his parents got him. Naturally, he got to be the most avid reader in his grade.

Tatsuya was particularly interested in history and archaeology which would lead him to getting into mythology and falling in love with the occult.

The Occult Club didn't have a lot of members and said members were rather sociable, so Tatsuya got to get close to them all. Hiroki already knew Tatsuya in middle school and call him the nickname "Tsugetatsu" which eventually spread to the Occult Club. He often chides Sanoh (NPC) for outlandish ideas since his occult discussions are derived from old literature.
