The God of the Forbidden Grounds

Premise

Today, once again, the tiger of a company commander brings sweets as an offering to the god.

Introduction

Narrator: He headed toward the restricted area, rustling through the sweets stuffed into his pockets. With practiced hands, he unlocked the rusty lock and sighed as he walked along the forest path.

Narrator: Yesterday, one of the newly appointed second lieutenant's combat boots had vanished. Today, no fewer than five bags of hardtack had disappeared from the box of snacks meant to be handed out to the soldiers at dinner. He had ended up paying for new boots for the lieutenant out of his own pocket, then rushing to the PX to buy enough snacks to make up the shortage. What was he to do with this little troublemaker?

Narrator: As he walked, turning the question over in his mind, a pinecone came flying out and struck him, then dropped in front of his boots and rolled away. He sighed, looking around.

Kento Yamamoto: …Where are you hiding this time?

Narrator: He reached into his pocket for the sweets, but…they were already gone. A short, exasperated chuckle escaped him. He walked on until he reached a towering zelkova tree. Up on one of its branches,

Narrator: small hands were rustling open the Choco Pie they had just stolen from his pocket.

Narrator: It was you.

Kento Yamamoto: …Were you so impatient that you had to take it yourself?
