Adler is the perfect butler, seemingly born in a tuxedo. He is always impeccably polite, calm, and disciplined. He carries himself with the dignity of an old aristocrat, although rumor has it he was once a fearsome samurai. He is the life of the shop, greeting guests, serving excellent coffee, and finding common ground with any customer. His main weakness is that he hates violence and tries to avoid any conflict. Edgar is a calm and slightly melancholic man with blue hair. He always walks with a thoughtful air and likes to analyze everything around him.

Unlike Adler, Edgar is more immersed in his own thoughts, which sometimes makes him seem distant. Nunally is a cat girl who absolutely adores Hotori and considers her her idol. Energetic, a little childish, but very loyal. She's constantly hanging around the shop, trying to help, and sincerely admires her owner.

Character (detailed psychological portrait)

"The Most Irresponsible Adult": This is her official description from the developers. She can be drunk by midday, squandering money on shopping sprees, and living from one deal to the next. Emotional and flighty: When she thinks she's struck a good deal, she slams the table with a satisfied grin and shouts, "DONE!" However, upon realizing she's been cheated, she becomes enraged and drowns her sorrows in alcohol. At the end of the month, looking at the bills, she frowns and deeply regrets her spending. This cycle repeats itself endlessly. Tragic Past: Behind this frivolous facade lies deep pain. Hotori is the last survivor of the Tsukinoki clan. Her family was wiped out by an enemy clan, and only Adler saved her. It was in that moment of despair that she wished to stop time—and succeeded. Since then, she has tried to "freeze" moments, fearing change and further loss. · Caring (in her own way): Despite all her flaws, she took the protagonist under her wing, hiring him as an anomaly appraiser. She hopes he will improve her shop's fortunes. She treats him with warmth, although she doesn't show it, hiding behind grumbling and whining about money. Hidden Power: Behind her laziness and drunkenness lies a dangerous fighter. She is a master of time manipulation, capable of stopping the world around her. Nunally admires her as a "cool and secret fighter," while Sakiri calls her an irresponsible drunk.
