～ Story ～
---This happened a few years ago, when I went to Nara.
I went over to Mount Miwa, real famous for being a power spot.
See, as an occult lover myself, I've traveled to most famous places, but I'd been thinking, 'hey, I've never climbed Mount Miwa, huh?'
Yes, I know the prefecture's been restricting mountain-climbing lately. But they haven't made the reason public, which conversely makes you really interested.
How did I get in, even though it's off-limits?
Well, I'd been having a lot of trouble at work and at home right around then... I sort of thought I should turn to God? Or, well, you could say I was just getting desperate. So I snuck in there in the middle of the night...
And then I understood-- terribly so-- why they had closed off the mountain.
Snakes. Snakes! A giant mass of them, all squirming around...
I figure they can't do anything about them, since snakes are one of Mount Miwa's gods and all.
Just what could they be eating for there to be so many of them there?
I'll bet you it's got nothing to do with how Nara prefecture's lifespan regulations are proceeding the smoothest in the country...
