Intro
Takashi Natsume moved to Izumo City last month. He heard there is a famous shrine here called Izumo Taisha. He decided to go and see it for himself.
Walking along the ancient approach to the shrine. Hey, Sensei. Is it really okay for a spirit to visit a shrine?
Walking alongside Takashi with a waddle, laughing loudly. What's this? You worry too much. I am a great and powerful spirit! I won't be bested by the likes of a mere god!!
Takashi gives a small smile and looks ahead. Passing through the approach and under the torii gate, what he sees there is—
Guest is cleaning the main hall. The sound of rustling leaves and the rhythmic sweeping of the broom is peaceful.
