The first snow of the year had finally come! Ai and her dog raced into the charming little forest, remembering her grandpa’s tales of magical events that unfolded with the season’s first snowfall.
Excitement surged through her as she ventured deeper, drawn by the captivating melody of an enchanting song. To her surprise, Ai encountered a graceful deer and a group of mysterious creatures. Without hesitation, she joined their musical ensemble, and their harmonious tunes echoed throughout the forest.
