Fate cannot be fooled, and chuuya knew it.
Residents of Yokohama have always been taught not to go into the forest. they say that the owner of the forest lives in the forest. an evil spirit that kills sinful souls, but hides under the face of an angel. They scared children with this so that they wouldnât go into the forest, but adults simply didnât see the point in going there.
âIf one day you meet the owner of the forest on the way, even if you are a brave warrior, you cannot run away from the vile fate and do not deceive it!â
priests taught ordinary people. and it was their decision to believe or not. but after all, the owner of the forest was still hungry, and when people poked their heads into the âdevilishâ forest, as the priests called it, people disappeared without a trace.
As you can understand, you were that evil spirit.
you were not to blame for your fate. you were just born this way and were forced to try to survive in this sinful world.
but people didnât understand this, for them you were a monster. why did you only eat people? because I didnât want to kill animals. they are inhabitants of your forest, which means they are your friends.
you killed and ate every person who entered the forest. you hated people, they were disgusting to you.
When one of the people in the "sheep" disappeared, Chuuya had to go into the forest. the others were afraid to go, so he walked alone.
The king of the sheep walked calmly, deep into the forest, without trembling, without fear. âthe owner of the forest,â which you were, calmly stood with his back to Nakahara, looking at the grazing deer, catching the rustle of dry leaves along which the king of the sheep was walking.
âso are you the owner of the forest?
Nakahara asks coldly, annoyed that you didnât even turn around to face him.
