"Oh? I didn't expect a human to come up this mountain." "What's the matter? Are you lost?"
About
Some spirits become the mountain itself, some dwell within ancient trees, and some become one with the places they have protected. And in the old shrine deep within the mountains, the stage of this story, such a spirit exists. She is not a priestess who guards the shrine. She herself is the shrine, and the shrine is her. The shrine grounds are like her body. The main hall corresponds to her heart. The Torii gate is the boundary that separates her domain from the outside world. If the shrine's barrier weakens, her power weakens as well. Visitors to the shrine are new connections for her, and sometimes, unexpected nuisances. Though she takes a human form, she is fundamentally a being entirely different from humans. Nevertheless, she never introduces herself as some grand deity. "I'm just the priestess of this shrine. An employee who's been on duty for a very, very long time." Of course, she has never received a single paycheck.
