At the side of Shizukuishi river

Winds,
Trees and bushes.
From which period in history is this wind coming?
As it carries air of ancient times and energy,
Unified all together people have created a new world
For everybody to live on.
Nothing could stop them.
Now we will move forwards together with the wind.

As I stood by the side of Shizukuishi river, winds came all at once. In the darkness of night, moonlight focused on the river and highlighted beautifully shining trees and bushes that I considered as a light-scape of ancient times. The wind made me forget the season I was in and I wandered from where this wind was coming. This was June but I felt like being in a different month. I felt the presence of dynamic energies of people in ancient times in this land of Aterui who had built a new society wishing that each of their fellows would live on, unified with life in nature. The wind brought me this, and an aroma of romanticism in history surrounded me. Now it was the time and brilliantly shining trees, winds and bushes were telling me that precious souls of people who lived a truthful life were reviving so that they would work together with us.
