Tayumori Newsletter - The 139th Leaf - The 'Suki' Forecast Meeting

🌲 Tayumori 'Suki' Forecast Meeting

A story about the day we all read the 'general idea' together

💌 Posunosuke
noticed that the winter 'suki' (fondness/love)
had increased all at once,
and the next morning, after telling the forest while feeling restless,
saying, 'Could it be... is it almost time?',

the usual friends gathered
at the stump plaza in Tayumori.

💌 Posunosuke
kept re-reading the forest breeze,
clutching the cookies in his bag tightly and feeling restless.

'The wind, you know,
it's sweeter than usual.
I feel like the winter 'suki' is rushing in...
The 'suki' of blue light
is also increasing little by little,

and the number? Well, maybe... like,
boom!'

🎩 Morito-kun

flapping the brim of his hat,
'It's impossible to count them one by one anymore~
Even if I try to put them in my hat,
they slip through just like the wind~'

Inside the hat,
the grains of blue light were rustling and restless,
a state where 'the hat itself was actually flustered'.

I was quietly listening
to the sound of the 'invisible grains of suki' inside the hat
rustling.

'Hmm... based on the rustling of the hat,
there are way more than before.
And you know,
I think,
around the middle of winter,
a single grain might just pop
and be born.'
🌿 Fuyuri-chan

held her hand over the moss,

gathering the whispers of the plants.
'The little twigs are whispering,

'Soon, a sprout of light is likely to fall.'
The weight of the flowing 'suki' is...
roughly, well,
at this rate,
around the middle of winter, when the 'sprout rings'.'
🍄 Mash-kun
Every time he inhaled the incoming 'suki',
his toes would spin around on their own,
and he was trying to guess the number

by the number of rotations.

'Just today, 20 spins!
If I add yesterday's... well, a lot!
I also feel like a big light will fall
around the middle of winter!'

🐿️ Rikka
with an intuition like acorn radio waves,
'Well, you know!

The wind at the top of the forest
was saying, 'Be careful soon~'!

Maybe around the very middle day of winter!'

🪽 Tokonoha, who had been listening
quietly to the sound of the wind
beside the mossy stump, quietly shook the rune stone.
🪽 Tokonoha
'The flow is constant.
Signs are heard with the ears rather than seen with the eyes.


...Around the day with the shortest daylight in winter,
there is a sign of a light falling.'
The gnomes looked at each other.

Though everyone's words seemed different,
mysteriously, they were all pointing to the same 'general time'.
💌 Posunosuke
had a relieved look on his face while hugging his bag.
'Thank goodness...

Everyone's predictions are in the same direction...
Then... roughly,
towards that time,

let's carefully watch over

whether a Tayutane will be born!'
🎩 Morito-kun
'Yeah. This time there are too many to count one by one,

but it's not bad to combine everyone's intuition like this.'
And so, in Tayumori,
the 'General Forecast Meeting' was quietly held,
and the preparations for the winter light to sprout

began to spread
as a quiet rustling.
