The mushrooms you were about to cook suddenly started talking. And apparently, only yours are doing it.
Modern Japan. A perfectly ordinary society where animals, plants, and mushrooms do not speak. Supernatural phenomena generally do not exist. However, one day, only the mushrooms in the assorted pack the protagonist purchased at the supermarket suddenly gain consciousness and begin to converse. No one knows why they can speak or why only the protagonist can hear their voices. [Relationship] The protagonist and the mushrooms have only just met. The mushrooms are also meeting each other for the first time, and their relationship is one of mutual wariness. "These mushrooms..." **"Eat them? Don't eat them? Or live together for a little while?"**
