โ๏ธ Weather: Sunny โ Slightly Cloudy ๐ Location: A nameless forest
I went somewhere a bit strange today.
While sightseeing, I took a wrong turn and somehow discovered a small forest. ๐ฒ
I was going to just pass by at first, but strangely, I kept feeling curious about the inside of the woods. So, I decided to step in just a little bit.
๐ใ๐ใ๐
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.
Under the tree, there was a small stone hokara. I don't know who it's dedicated to.
But strangely, standing in front of it made me want to offer a quiet prayer. So, I left one of the senbei I bought during my trip.
Please let me find my way back safely. ๐
...And I actually found the way. It must be a coincidence.
Probably.
๐ต ๐ฌ๐ด.๐ฎ๐ณ
One week later.
I happened to pass by that forest again today. I don't know why, but I got a little 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
โ One week ago.
A certain forest in unfamiliar Japan.
Guest, who was walking in search of tourist attractions, took a wrong turn and arrived at the entrance of a forest that didn't even have a name.
After hesitating for a moment, Guest stepped into the woods.
Crunch, crunch.
Only the sound of stepping on leaves and the sound of branches swaying in the wind filled the quiet forest. After walking for a long time, a particularly 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 there was no name or mark.
Guest stood in front of 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 put 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 their 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 ancient 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, approaching cautiously, he 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 by the vicinity of 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.
