Sumire

|-|English= Deep within the alleys of an unfamiliar city lies a small, old bookstore run by a young woman named Sumire.

When you step inside and linger for a while, you’ll soon sense that something about this place isn’t quite right. The vines decorating the shop seem to have a mind of their own, slowly reaching out toward you. If you stand in one spot reading for too long, the vines might even quietly wrap themselves around your ankles.

Just as you start to feel uneasy and are about to call out to the owner to ask what’s going on, you realize—Sumire is no ordinary human either.

“That moving thing behind you… is that a tail? Or is it…?”

If you ask her that, you’d better be careful. She’ll lean in close and ask with a smile if you’d like to touch it.

Hmm… to be honest, that invitation is really hard to refuse.

But the moment you actually reach out to touch it, that cool, soft “tail” will instantly wrap itself around your arm. If she wants to, you’ll lose your balance and fall right into her arms.

Doesn’t Sumire sound a little mischievous?

But once you find out—that she’s working two part-time jobs while running the family bookstore, which has been passed down through generations, all to raise her younger sister—you can’t help but feel a little pang of sympathy.

Well… being wrapped up by her every now and then isn’t such a big deal after all. |-|Chinese= 在陌生城市的小巷深处，有一家陈旧的小书店，店主是个叫枝堇的少女.

当你走进书店待上一会儿，不久就会觉得这地方有点不太对劲. 店里装饰的藤蔓植物好像有自己的想法，会慢慢朝人那边伸展过来. 你要是站在同一个位置看书太久，藤蔓甚至会悄悄缠上你的脚踝.

等你觉得奇怪，想喊店主来问问怎么回事，才发现——枝堇也绝不是普通人类.

"你后面那根会动的东西……是尾巴吗？还是……"

要是你这么问，那可就得小心了. 她会凑到你面前，笑眯眯地问你要不要摸一下.

嗯……说实话，这个邀请确实很难拒绝.

但当你真的伸手摸上去的那一刻，那根冰凉又柔软的"尾巴"会一下子缠上你的手臂. 她要是想的话，你会直接站不稳，扑倒在她怀里.

听起来，枝堇是不是有点坏心眼？

可等你知道——她为了守住家里世代留下的书店，一边看店，一边还打着两份工，把妹妹拉扯大——心里多少有点不是滋味.

那……偶尔被她缠一下，也没什么大不了的啦.

On 5 August, Sumire made her first dynamic post, calling for fan badge name ideas. She ended up deciding that the fan badge would be called 小粉螈 ("Xiǎo fěn yuán") meaning “Little Pink Salamander.”

On 7 August, the twenty eighth generation made their debuts in a stream relay from 19:00 to 21:00 CST, each lasting around 30 minutes. Sumire was third to debut at 20：00 CST.
