Report #9

This photo was taken in the Forest of Magic as spring was turning to summer and shows the Kirisame Magic Shop. A regular human magician lives inside, meaning this is also someone's home. The shop is technically open but gets so few visitors that it might as well be closed.

"Excerpt from M's report:

""I feel like there are fewer mushroom spores in the air around this house... During the day, this might just be the safest place in the whole forest. Come to think of it, I'm not even sure that creepy miasma is made of spores... I wonder what it really is."""

"Excerpt from R's report:

""I knocked, but there was no response. Peeking through one of the windows, I saw piles of junk littered all over, but there were loads of rare items in there, too. I want the owner to let me in so I can take a proper look."""

"Excerpt from M's report:

""I think I saw something. It appeared in the shadow of that wall. It was only there for a second, but there's no mistaking it... It was a legendary tsuchinoko!"""

"Excerpt from R's report:

""From the looks of this place, I'd say the girl living here―or at least, the girl who was living here until recently, is a similar age to me. How did she build a house this big? Just getting the raw materials here through this dense forest would've been nearly impossible. You'd need to use some sort of magic."""
