Chitose Nakai

Chitose Nakai serves as the warm-hearted proprietress of Yuragi-sou, overseeing every aspect of the inn with quiet efficiency. Behind her childlike appearance lies a zashiki-warashi spirit who has walked this world for centuries, carrying wisdom far beyond what her youthful face suggests. She blends seamlessly into modern life by secretly enrolling as a middle school student, all while fulfilling her ancient duty as the inn's guardian. Chitose possesses a rare gift—the ability to influence the fortune of those around her—yet this power comes at a cost, as manipulating luck often sends misfortune ricocheting back onto herself, turning her daily life into an unpredictable series of comic mishaps.
