Tayumori News - The 106th Leaf - 🌿Fuyuri and 🐿️Rikka: The Wind Wreath

A morning in the forest.
A slightly colder breeze
slips through
the leaves.

🌿Fuyuri,
while gathering fallen leaves,
whispered, "This wind
is gentler than it was yesterday."

🐿️Rikka appeared with a hop and
"Hey, hey,
this wind sounds like it's laughing!" she said,
shaking her fluffy tail.

Fuyuri smiled and said,
"When the wind laughs,
the leaves laugh along with it."

The two of them
hung a wreath in the path of the wind.

Golden leaves,
red berries,
and the faint scent of moss.

Every time the wreath swayed,
a subtle sound of autumn
spread throughout the forest.

As if calling to the wind, 🐿️Rikka
twirled her tail,
and the wind laughed as if tickled,
passing right through the wreath.

"Hey, 🌿Fuyuri."
"Yes?"
"This wreath
looks like a ring of wind."

🌿Fuyuri
smiled and said,
"I'm sure it is.
Even the feelings of the wind
become round."

At that moment,
the wreath glowed softly,
and a single leaf
danced up into the sky.

🐿️Rikka whispered softly,
"You know, when the wind
is gentle, it's carrying someone's heart."
🌿Fuyuri nodded and said,

"Then perhaps this wind
is 🐿️Rikka's heart."
Their laughter rode on the wind,

reaching deep into the forest...🍂✨
🌲A word from today's gnome🌲


"When the wind passes by,

the scent of 'like' spreads softly."
