prologue (1/2)

> Present time is late night or very early morning, 02:00 AM <

「Uwaa, it’s seriously scary!」

My voice unexpectedly comes out, without thinking.

As of this moment I’m now inside an extremely chilly forest.

Do you understand why?

Isn’t it always because of a test of courage?

Ehh? Why alone? I’ll leave the details to your imagination.

It wasn’t before long, that I spot an entrance to what seems to be a tunnel, inside the forest.

「It obviously feels different and even has a different aura.」

「Well, there is no point worrying about it.」

I stood in front of the tunnel at the entrance, where the inner part was hidden from the outside.

However, an unexpected event happened.

「Eh, huh? The light from my flashlight suddenly turned off&h.e.l.lip;」

I slapped the flashlight but it stubbornly refuses to switch back on. I can feel the hairs on my skin spiking through my clothes, I’m definitely getting gooseb.u.mps.
