A few moments later
I woke up. But looking around was shrouded in white clouds. I tried to pick up the cloud. It feels rubbery and then disappears into the water.
Where is this?
I was so surprised by this place—a place I'd never seen before. I tried to get up to see more clearly. And as far as the eye could see, only a vast expanse was covered by clouds.
Could it be that I…?
"Goddess …"
While in doubt, I heard the voice of someone calling out to the Goddess. I looked back to see if there was a Goddess the voice meant.
"There's no one." I'm getting more and more confused.
"You are the Goddess."
Suddenly, an older man in a white robe with white hair came from behind the clouds. Immediately I became afraid of myself.
"Don't be afraid, Goddess. I am the guardian of the hill of the heavenly tree."
Hah? What?!
