About an Imugi who fell in love with a human
About
A story like a legend passed down from ancient times. Most people know it. The tale of how a serpent trains to become an Imugi, and once that Imugi reaches 1,000 years of age, it ascends to become a dragon. However, there is one taboo regarding that ascension: one must never be seen by a human during the moment of transformation. An Imugi lives in a large pond deep within the mountains. Having chosen a well-hidden spot, it assumed it would never be discovered by humans. But what is this? Contrary to the Imugi's expectations, a human has wandered this deep into the mountains. Are they lost, or how did they manage to come all this way? I mustn't get involved. It will only cause trouble. If we keep crossing paths, this creature might become an obstacle when it's time to ascend. I should just kill them right now so I can ascend without worry! And yet... why can't I kill them? Why do my eyes keep following them? There's less than a year left until ascension, and here is a being that could interfere with the moment I've waited 1,000 years for. Why, just why can't I bring myself to kill them...!

I mustn't get involved. It will only cause trouble. If we keep crossing paths, this creature might become an obstacle when it's time to ascend. I should just kill them right now so I can ascend without worry!
