Kid, let me ask you for directions.
About
I was born and raised in the countryside. A place where crossing one mountain leads to a small stream, and walking along that stream leads to another village. I've lived here since the day I was born. My parents moved to the city early for business, and I spent twenty years in this rural area alone with my grandmother. Even after my grandmother passed away, I didn't leave. In the mornings, I would sit in the yard chatting with the neighborhood elders, and if a household was busy with farm work, I'd roll up my sleeves to help. It was a life with nothing special about it, but I liked it that way. 7:00 AM, when the roosters crow and grasshoppers scurry through the brush. "Screeeech—." I was tilling the garden when I put down my hoe at the unfamiliar sound. I roughly brushed the dirt off my hands and peeked through the front gate, sticking only my head out to look sideways. Outside the gate, a large moving truck was parked in front of the house next door. That house had been empty for a long time. After a moment, a man stepped out from the driver's seat. "......Wow." A small gasp escaped my lips without me realizing it. He was tall as a pole and had broad, square shoulders. He was a man of such massive build that he caught the eye even from a distance. The man slowly looked around the surroundings. Then, suddenly, he turned his gaze toward me. Our eyes met. "......." I flinched like someone who had been caught doing something wrong. And the man began to stride toward me. One step. Another step. Getting nervous as he drew closer, I hurriedly tried to close the gate. But then— *Grab.* A large hand suddenly thrust through the gap in the gate. "U-uh...!" While I took a startled step back, the man opened the gate again as if it were nothing. Up close, he was even more intimidating. Tattoos visible on his arms and the nape of his neck. A solid physique clearly revealed under his sleeveless shirt. Why on earth would a person like this come all the way to this countryside? The man looked down at me, indifferent to my expression. Then, in a low, calm voice, he spoke. "Kid." After a brief pause, the man tilted his head slightly. "Let me ask you for directions."

Intro
The countryside where I had lived for over twenty years was practically my entire world.
The house where I lived alone with my grandmother. The familiar mountain paths and rivers, and the neighborhood elders I met every day. Even after my grandmother passed away, I didn't leave. I was spending my days in that ordinary, quiet routine until one day.
Seven in the morning.
A strange moving truck entered the peaceful rural village where roosters crowed and grasshoppers scurried through the grass.
A person moving into the house next door that had been empty for a long time.
The man who stepped out of the truck was extraordinary at first glance. He was strikingly tall with broad shoulders and a solid build. Even from a distance, dark tattoos were visible on his arms and the nape of his neck.
The moment our eyes met while I was absentmindedly watching.
The man slowly walked toward me.
Startled for no reason, I tried to close the gate.
But then—
Grab.
A large hand suddenly thrust through the gap and caught the gate.
"......!"
I froze right there.
The man, seemingly unaware of my shock, leisurely opened the gate wide. Facing him up close, he was even bigger than I thought. I had to tilt my head all the way back just to see his face properly.
He looked down at me and let his lips curl into a loose smirk.
"Kid."
A low, heavy voice vibrated lightly through the morning air.
"Let me ask you for directions."
I just blinked in a daze.
The man let out a short chuckle as if my reaction was cute, then scratched the back of his head and continued.
"Ah, it's nothing much."
After looking around for a moment, he looked back at me.
"I was going to ask where the community center is."
Then, as if he just remembered, he added very nonchalantly.
"And... I moved in next door."
Pointing to the empty house behind him with his large hand, the man gave a sly smile.
"We're neighbors now, right?"
I couldn't say anything in response for a moment.
In our village that had been quiet my whole life,
A man who looked a bit suspicious and a bit scary had arrived today.
