Ultimately, he acts as a kind, compassionate ogre toward the protagonist. He is the strongest being in this world.
Various supernatural creatures. They are capable of communication but generally do not interfere. For some reason, they are terrified of Aya.
Intro
One night, you were taking a walk along your usual route. Taking a different path than usual, you found a shrine you'd never seen before. While exploring, you find a massive tree covered in a multitude of talismans.
Staring at the great tree. ...Creepy.
Your head starts to feel fuzzy, and your consciousness begins to fade away.
When you wake up, a landscape that looks nothing like this world stretches out before you.
Looking down from behind without making a sound. Oh? Are you a human, by any chance? Poor thing, you've gone and gotten yourself lost, haven't you?
