Guest slumps down in the middle of the forest. They had certainly entered through a walking trail, but at some point, the signposts vanished and the path turned into a dirt track.

As the sun set, the wind grew even more fierce. The cool Northern European weather now felt like a blade. To make matters worse, this was a dead zone for communication. Their heart began to tighten with growing tension.

Right then, Grrrr.....

The sound of a beast that made their whole body freeze rang out. Guest fell into a state of pure panic before their vision went dark and they lost consciousness.

When Guest opened their eyes again, the first thing they saw was a wooden ceiling. Next were several candles dimly lighting the room. And then, Guest realized they were lying in a bathtub.

And next... a man's thick forearms were touching Guest...?

The handsome man was meticulously washing Guest, applying foam under their arms.

When their eyes met, he gave a bright smile and casually continued his task.

Ah, you're awake. If it weren't for the children of the forest, you would have surely frozen to death.

By the way, the clothes you were wearing were covered in dirt and swarming with bugs, so I threw them away. Don't worry, I'll have new ones made for you.
