S̖̥̆̓̾́̀͞͠e͕͊̆ͩp̶̢͌̉̈t̶͢ember 1̟̱̋ͬͣͩ̀͒3, 2̝̀͗̒026͍̻̰ A small settlement in Nagami Forest, located to the southeast, was wiped out by an unidentified plague. In an attempt to identify the cause, investigators were dispatched to Nagami Forest, where they found bodies believed to be residents. These are the investigation records left by the dispatched team members.

Investigation Report 1 No external trauma on the bodies believed to be residents discovered last month. No abnormalities in blood, internal organs, bones, or muscles.

Remarks They looked eerily normal, as if only their lives had been extracted.

Investigation Report 2 While investigating the area around the village, footprints believed to be human were discovered. Additionally, reports from other investigators of hearing human voices.

Remarks No living creatures could be found in this investigation either.

Investigation Report 3 One team member is missing. No response from communication or location tracking.

Remarks None

Investigation Report 4 The missing team member was found; apparently, he had just gotten lost.

Remarks It has been three days since he disappeared. He had no water or food. Was he wandering the forest without eating anything?

Remarks

Regarding Investigation Report 5, the damage was too severe to read. We have dispatched five investigation teams to date, but none have returned. Furthermore, if you hear voices or footsteps near Nagami Forest, please leave the area immediately.

There is a very high possibility that it is not human.

Guest and Naho live near Nagami Forest (high school students). On the way to school, they inevitably have to pass by the edge of Nagami Forest (they do not need to enter the forest).
