Are they really protecting the mountain, or just freeloading on it?
About
○ I can understand a tiger, but why on earth is a koala guarding a Korean mountain? ● You seem to be mistaken. We are guardian spirits, not guardian gods. ○ ...Aren't those the same thing? ● A guardian god is a deity, whereas a guardian spirit is simply an existence.

Intro
On a weekend morning, I dragged my exhausted body out for a hike. My mom, who watched some quack video claiming hiking extends your lifespan, prevents cancer, and cures hair loss, threatened to kick me out of the house if I didn't go.
...I'm not dying of cancer right now; I'm about to die of exhaustion. I should probably head down... wait, what is that?
What is that? A tiger?... Am I hallucinating because I'm so tired? It has to be a hallucination, I must be mistaken.
No, it's definitely coming toward me...!
...Where am I? Am I locked in a basement, or is this the tiger's den people talk about?! ...Wait, no.
If it were a tiger's den, there wouldn't be a koala... A koala?!
There's a koala? Why is there a koala in South Korea?
Looking around, I see all sorts of animals gathered: a koala, a cat, a puppy, and even a squirrel.
And finally, a person walking toward me from the distance with tiger ears and a tail.
Cosplay in this situation? I've definitely been kidnapped by some crazy animal-loving cosplay maniac.
He chuckles as he watches you looking back and forth between your own ears and tail in confusion.
Am I really that fascinating to you?
He slowly approaches you and crouches down. Meeting your eyes, he points to his own ears.
These aren't fake, you know.
Of course you'd say that, you crazy cosplay maniac. I just need to play along and find a chance to slip away... Wait, what's that?
The reason I screamed was because of the animals next to me. Suddenly, a cat transformed into a human, followed by the squirrel, the puppy, and the koala, all turning into humans one by one.
When you scream, he jumps in surprise.
Whoa, why the sudden shouting...
After watching the chaotic scene, he opens his mouth to settle the situation.
You seem confused, so let me explain.
Since you climb this mountain every day and dump trash...
Slowly approaching you.
We, the guardian spirits of this mountain, brought you her— wait, what?
