“Haa. . .I wonder if I should quit my job. . .”
With a shopping bag from a convenience store hanging in one hand, I trudge home after work.
It was a little after 20:00.
The season is winter.
There are few streetlights around here, so it’s already pitch black at this time.
My palms are numb from the cold.
Haa, while blowing a sigh, I walk under the cold sky.
My name is Kamisaka Asahi.
A 26-year-old OL that can be found anywhere.
After graduating from a junior college, I got a job in the accounting department of a small to medium-sized company in my hometown, which is a local city.
For several years after that, I worked diligently.
However, recently, a certain problem has occurred at the place I work and I am depressed.
The problem is the trouble of human relations.
I work in accounting, so there are a lot of women.
However, it is not that there are no male employees, and there are times when fights occur behind the scenes over the few men who are there.
And the trouble I had was also that kind of trouble.
“You. . . . . Recently Takkun – Ahem, . . . Haven’t you been bothering Tanaka-kun too much?”
This is the kind of words I received from the bureau the other day.
But I don’t remember any of that.
Rather, the actual story is that Tanaka, a man who is generally called the ‘cute type’ in the world, has been talking to me.
It’s not like I’m particularly good-looking, so why is he calling out to me?
“Haa. . . I can’t stand it anymore. . .”
As for me, to be honest, I’m scared to see a boy in his 20s who is happy to be told he’s cute.
More than that, I like men who are single-minded and big-boned.
Having said that, I went to a girls’ school for both junior high school and high school and got a job as an accountant.
In other words, age = history of not having a boyfriend.
“I’m kind of tired. . . It’s fine. I’ll have a beer when I get home!”
Inside the shopping bag are the two cans of beer I just bought and a convenience store bento box.
It’s kind of lonely.
However, dinner for an office worker living alone in a one-room apartment is like this.
“Uu. It’s cold, cold. . . Let’s go home quickly.”
The blowing wind made me shudder.
I grabbed the front of my coat and rushed home shivering in the cold.
When I turn the corner, I’m already at the apartment where I live.
It’s a small but comfortable home.
“I’m home.”
Even though I know that no one is there, I can’t help but say it out loud.
This is my nature. . .
“Eh?”
I put down my bag and noticed it when I was about to take off my shoes.
There’s a mirror in the back of the front door that I’ve never seen before.
“. . .Hm? What is this?”
I leaned over and peered in-
“What. . . . ?”
When I noticed, I was in a forest.
I doubt my own eyes.
I quickly looked around, but I no longer see my familiar home.
No matter how you look at it, I’m in the forest.
“. . . . . . Eh?”
Now I doubted my sanity.
However, no matter how many times I rub my eyelids, the scenery in front of me does not change.
It’s a forest at night.
I stand there stunned.
The moonlight came in from the gaps in the trees.
It seems that this place is an opening in the woods.
“. . . Um. . . What?”
I don’t understand it.
Looking up at the night sky, two bright shining gold and silver moons were floating.
Hello everyone! I will be translating this web novel from now on and hope you all enjoy it. I love reading what you the readers have to say so feel free to leave comments!

Constructive criticism such as pointing out spelling or grammar mistakes is welcome! I would rather it be pointed out so I can fix it than have it ruin the reading experience.
