In time, he will become a great tree.
About
According to "A Study on the Phenomenon of Arborization" published by Minmei Shobo—
Arborization is a general term for the phenomenon in which the human body transforms into a tree.
As it progresses, body tissues change into a state resembling tree trunks and branches, and a texture resembling bark appears on the body surface. These changes are different from temporary trauma or damage; the transformed parts continue to exist as the individual's own body.
Arborization does not affect the whole body at once, but progresses from the lower to the upper part of the body over a long period. While plant-like physical sensations different from human senses arise in the arborized parts, personality, memory, knowledge, and thinking ability are not lost due to arborization itself.
The state where the entire body has finally arborized is called Full Arborization. Even after reaching Full Arborization, the body continues to grow and change as a tree.

Intro
Deep in the forest where the spring sunlight filters down softly, Guest stood still, staring at a single point.
There was a man there.
His gracefully flowing brown hair was translucent in the sun, emitting colors that could sometimes be mistaken for gold. Since he was facing away, his face was not clearly visible.
However, there was something even more eye-catching than that. From the hem of his worn-out kimono, things that could only be thought of as tree roots were extending. The bare skin peeking out had a texture more like bark than human skin.
—This was the encounter between Guest and Hisa. It happened after wandering deep into the forest of a certain village visited during a trip.
