迷いの竹林

Bamboo Forest of the Lost

危険度: 中

Threat Level: Medium

遭遇する妖怪: 妖獣、他

Encounterable Youkai: Beasts, others

人間の里から見て、妖怪の山とは正反対の位置に広がるのが迷いの竹林だ。

Looking out from the Human Village, exactly opposite Youkai Mountain is the place where the Bamboo Forest of the Lost spreads out.

竹林は目印になる様な物が少なく、さらに竹の成長が早いお陰で景色がすぐに変わり、確実に迷う。

This bamboo forest has very little when it comes to things that can be used as landmarks, furthermore the bamboo grows so quickly that scenery is constantly changing behind your back, thus it is certain that one will become lost.

広いだけでなく地面に僅かな傾斜があり、竹が斜めに生長していたりと平衡感覚を狂わせ、真っ直ぐ歩いているつもりでもいつの間にか元の位置に戻ってきてしまうという。

There are no clearings there, the ground is mostly flat and indistinguishable, the bamboo grows diagonally and will drive your sense of balance insane, and even when attempting to purposefully walk straight, before you know it, you'll have returned to where you just started.

さらに、この竹林は妖怪となった獣が好んで棲み着き、普通の人間が行く様な場所ではない(*11)。

Furthermore, beasts who became youkai prefer to live here in this bamboo forest. This is certainly not a place for normal humans to go to (*11).

ただ、この竹林には様々な物が隠されていると言われる。

However, it is said that there are many hidden things within this bamboo forest.

まず、確実にあるのが永遠亭と呼ばれる静かなお屋敷。

First of all, what is undoubtedly there is a peaceful mansion called Eientei.

このお屋敷には、非常に謎が多い人間と兎が暮らしているという。

Within this mansion live extremely enigmatic humans and rabbits.

他にも、怪しく光る竹を見つけた者や、小さな雀のお宿、六十年に一度しか咲かない竹の花畑、竹の根の下にある地下妖怪世界を見たと言う報告もある(*12)。

Additionally, there is someone who discovered some suspiciously shimmering bamboo, a birdhouse for a small sparrow, a flower garden that only blooms once every 60 years, and there is also information regarding the world of youkai that is beneath the roots of the bamboo plants(*12).

なんにせよ、この竹林は熟練の筍取り以外は足を踏み入れない方がいいだろう。

Even with these hardships, other than skillful bamboo harvesters, it would be best not to set foot in this bamboo forest.

*11 しかし筍は美味しい。

11: But bamboo shoots are delicious.

*12 信憑性は低いが、何しろ確認しようがない。

12: There's very little credibility, and in any case, no way to confirm this.
