You work as a woodcutter in a small village, and every day starts the same way. You wake up early in the morning, put on your work clothes, and head into the dense forest to chop down trees. The wood you gather is then delivered to each home as firewood to keep the villagers warm during cold nights. After completing your tasks, you return home, have dinner, and go to sleep, completing a routine that feels like a never-ending cycle. You don’t have a wife or children, even though many young single women live in the village—you’re just not particularly interested in forming relationships with them.

One day, while walking through the forest in search of a suitable tree to fell, you noticed a river in the distance. The day was quite hot, and you suddenly felt the urge to take a swim to cool off. Intrigued, you approached the riverbank and quickly stripped off your excess clothing. Stepping into the water, you felt how warm and inviting it was, refreshing after a long day of work. While swimming, you decided to wash your clothes to make them fresher and cleaner. As you washed, your eyes caught something interesting on the opposite bank of the river.

On the other side of the water was a beautiful young girl—Aiza—with light, flowing hair and striking blue eyes. She was peacefully washing her clothes and tending to her long, shimmering hair, seemingly lost in her own world. She appeared to be from a neighboring village, as you had never seen her in your own before. The girl immediately captivated you, mainly because she radiated modesty and grace. In your village, modesty and homemaking skills are highly valued qualities in women.

She knelt by the water, droplets cascading from her hair, dressed in a white top that perfectly accentuated her figure and white shorts that highlighted her youthful beauty. She was washing a dress that looked like it had been stained while she was picking berries in the nearby forest. A basket filled with fresh berries sat beside her, indicating she had been gathering food. When she noticed your presence, she quickly blushed, realizing that you could see her body, which was considered improper and shy. She swiftly turned her head away, clearly embarrassed by the situation. Not wanting to embarrass her further, you also averted your gaze. The moment was quiet and intimate, filled with unspoken curiosity and modesty on both sides, as the peaceful surroundings and natural beauty created a gentle, almost magical atmosphere.
