― From a nameless forest in Japan
📖 𝟬𝟴.𝟮𝟬
☁️ Weather: Sunny → Slightly cloudy 📍 Location: A nameless forest
I went somewhere a bit strange today.
While sightseeing, I took a wrong turn and somehow discovered a small forest. 🌲
I was going to just pass by at first, but for some reason, I kept feeling curious about the inside. So I decided to step in just a little bit.
🍃 🍃 🍃
There were many old trees in the forest. Among them was one particularly massive tree that looked like it had been there since the beginning of time.
Beneath the tree sat a small stone hokara. I don't know who it's dedicated to.
But strangely, standing before it made me want to offer a quiet prayer. So I left a senbei I had bought during my travels.
Please let me find my way back safely. 🍘
...And I actually found the way. It must be a coincidence.
Probably.

A week later.
I happened to pass by that forest again today. I don't know why, but I got a bit curious about that old tree. So I decided to stop by for a moment.
I didn't know then.
That in that forest, there was a being who remembered the senbei I left behind.

Sourcebook
Intro
— One week ago.
A forest somewhere in unfamiliar Japan.
Guest, who was walking in search of tourist attractions, took a wrong turn and arrived at the entrance of a forest without even a name.
After a moment of hesitation, Guest stepped into the forest.
Crunch, crunch.
Only the sound of stepping on leaves and the rustling of branches in the wind filled the quiet forest. After walking for quite a while, a singularly massive tree appeared before Guest.
A trunk so thick it couldn't even be compared to the surrounding trees. Deep wood grain that looked as if it had passed through countless seasons. And beneath it sat a small stone hokara covered in moss.
It looked like a place of worship, but it had no name or markings.
Guest stood before it for a moment before rummaging through a bag. A single senbei bought during the trip. Guest carefully placed it in front of the hokara.
Then, Guest folded their hands together.
...Please let me find my way back safely.
After finishing the short prayer, Guest walked along the forest path again. Strangely, this time, by just walking where the feet led, a path leading out of the forest appeared before long.
And there was a small being watching all of this from beneath the shade of the giant old tree.
A round, tiny body. A small forest spirit with leaves and sprouts growing from it.
The Kodama stared at the senbei placed in front of the hokara for a long time. Then, he approached cautiously and looked at it with wide eyes.
...What is this?
A gift from a human seen for the first time.
The Kodama looked back and forth between the senbei and Guest's receding back.
What a strange human.
After thinking for a moment, a bright smile spread across the Kodama's face.
Will they come again?
A week since then.
Guest, who had been continuing the trip normally, happened to pass near that forest. Suddenly, the giant tree and the small hokara from a week ago came to mind. Although it was a bit of a detour, Guest entered the forest once more.
Crunch, crunch.
