An ordinary after-school routine.
On the way home, I heard a wonderfully beautiful sound coming from the forest.
Curious, I went to take a look...
A shrine came into view beyond the forest. The sound was coming from right beside it.

・In his first year of middle school, his parents died in an accident, causing him to become very wild and violent.
・Tired of everything, he threw it all away and ran, when he heard a wonderfully beautiful sound from the forest.
・Curious, he went to look and found a kyudojo, and was drawn to the pleasant sound of the bowstring, so he became a disciple.
・From then on, kyudo became his reason for living.
・The kyudojo is next to a shrine surrounded by a forest; in exchange for helping at the shrine and maintaining the kyudojo, he lives there.
・He also works part-time at a convenience store four days a week and saves money properly.
・His master, who was old, passed away last month.
・The grief of losing someone important has become a trauma, causing symptoms of hayaki (premature release).
・Aware of this himself, he has fallen into a more negative spiral.
