Girls' Wishing Tree

Girls' Wishing Tree

Author: I love sweet and sour pork

Introduction:

After traveling through time, I became a cherry blossom tree in a remote shrine.

I thought I would spend my life as a plant listening to people's wishes.

Until a lip-syncing girl found me, hoping that I could save her idol band whose reputation had "exploded".

She taught me how to repair a car.

Next:

A sickly girl prayed to me, hoping that after the operation she could play a duet with a pianist named "Kousei".

She taught me the violin.

A young girl in sportswear prayed to me, hoping to make friends who would appreciate her playing.

She taught me guitar.

A girl in a researcher's uniform prayed to me, hoping that the potion she was making for her brother, Shinjiro, would be successful.

She... is going to pour the potion on my tree roots!

Don't come over here!

Chapter 1: Dryad, Live and Music Girl: 1. Cherry Blossom Tree and Lip-Singing

Toshima Ward, Tokyo.

In a remote corner, there is a small shrine.

The biggest difference between this shrine and other small shrines is that there is a cherry tree growing vigorously in the shrine's courtyard.

This cherry tree is more than ten meters high, and its huge crown covers the entire small courtyard. It blooms beautiful cherry blossoms every year. When it blooms in spring, it also attracts some people to take pictures. Once, a photographer came to take pictures for a whole day.

This shrine isn't particularly popular, with an average of only a dozen visitors per day, and on busy days, no more than 30. The most frequent visitor is a short-haired little girl who never puts money in the offering box labeled "Offering," but instead often piles small stones on the steps in front of the shrine.

The main job of the shrine's priest is to run a small shop at the foot of the shrine. He will come to the shrine every few days to clean the place and take the change from the coin box. He also holds several sacrificial activities every year. The shrine maidens are all part-time JKs, and sometimes they don't even have time to change out of the brown school uniform under their shrine maidens' uniforms.

If you spend a day sitting at the shrine, you can find a bit of peace in the fast-paced life;

If you sit in a shrine for a week, you can relax your body and mind and adjust your state of mind;

If you sit in a shrine for a month, you can communicate with the gods and purify your soul.

But if you spend ten years in a shrine, it's no different from being in jail.

Ten years have passed since Gao Mu traveled to this world. Others traveled through time and space as wooden cabinets, but he traveled through time and space as cabinet wood.

Yes, he is the cherry tree in the shrine.

There was no need to eat or drink, and the most interesting thing was to listen to people's prayers. However, because there were so few people coming, most of the time he could only boredly count tiles, leaves, the wooden strips on the money box, and the vehicles passing by on the road outside the torii, hoping to make his consciousness sleep a little longer.

until……

One night.

There are usually no people coming to the shrine at night, and even if there are, they are probably drunks or bored students.

But today is different.

A pink-haired girl ran into the courtyard of the shrine like a frightened deer. She looked a little embarrassed. Her hair, which was supposed to be a double ponytail, had spread out to one side and turned into a side ponytail. Her performance clothes, soaked with sweat, stuck to her body, making her look like an underground idol who had run away from somewhere.

She stood in front of the money box, clasped her hands together, and whispered, "God, please..."

Gao Mu immediately perked up - since he had been woken up, it would be nice to hear some interesting gossip.

The girl knelt on the ground, her hands supporting the ground, and suddenly burst into tears. "It's not a malfunction of the equipment, it's a punishment from God... We shouldn't lip-sync. If we can't play instruments, if we can't sing loudly in front of an audience... we shouldn't debut as an idol band so soon... PasPale... wuwuwu..."

Tsk, so he was a jerk who got caught lip-syncing. In his previous life, lip-syncing and plagiarism were at most a stain on the entertainment industry, but in a country across the ocean, the shame of lip-syncing was many times greater.

If he gets caught, his acting career will most likely be over.

Girls, one minute on stage is the result of ten years of hard work off stage. There will be punishment for taking shortcuts.

Gao Mu thought with some gloating pleasure.

"Ding—the Girl's Prayer System has been activated. Help the system identify girls who are confused, helpless, lost, sad, frustrated, angry, and worried, soothe their negative emotions, and help them shine on their own stage. You can earn Shining Points, which can be used in a prize draw."

Gao Mu was so excited that he wanted to jump up, but the tree roots were deep in the ground, so he couldn't jump up at all. He could only let the branches sway, making a rustling sound.

It’s been ten years, dog system, do you know how I have been spending these ten years?

"The host can communicate with talented girls within the shrine to earn skills and points." The system prompt sounded again.

Gao Mu immediately tried to communicate with the girl who was kneeling on the ground and crying.

He couldn't speak, but a chat box appeared above the girl's head. He could use his mind to input text into the chat box, and after confirmation, the sound would ring in the girl's ears.

At times like this, as long as I drink a lot of chicken soup, there should be no problem, right?

"Don't cry, this is just a performance, right? Work harder and perform better next time, there will always be opportunities." Gao Mu sent a message to the pink-haired girl.

"Huh?" The girl started, looking up as if to find the source of the sound. She folded her hands over her chest and made a cute sound like a frightened little rabbit.

Gao Mu suddenly felt like teasing him, and sent another message with his mind: "Didn't you beg me to give you a chance? You're such a weird person."

"God... Lord God?!" The pink-haired girl stood up and took two steps back, her eyes quickly sweeping across the dilapidated shrine.

There didn't seem to be anyone in the shrine, and the sound she heard didn't sound like the reverberation and electrical sounds coming from a player.

Could it be... that it is really the Lord God?

The girl knelt down in front of the huge cherry tree and said, "God, if I work harder, I will be rewarded, right?"

"As long as it's not lip-syncing harder."

The girl's face flushed all the way to her ears. "I... can do it! I can... sing it! God, the agency arranged for PasPale, who wasn't prepared, to go on stage. Just give us a little time and we can present our music to everyone. We just need a little time..."

"Instead of complaining to me, why not start working hard from tomorrow?" Gao Mu continued to pour out the "chicken soup" from his previous life to the girl in front of him: "The best time to start working hard was a few years ago, and the second best time is now. As long as you regard now as the bottom, every step forward will be upward. Instead of asking whether hard work will definitely pay off, it is better to think about how you should work hard."

The pink-haired girl thought for a moment, then suddenly raised her head: "God, I understand."

What do you unserstand?

Before Gao Mu could react, she pulled a crumpled 1000 yen note from her pocket and stuffed it into the cash box. "I've been an idol trainee for two and a half years. PasPale is my only and last chance. If I can continue on my idol journey as Maruyama Aya, I will definitely come back to thank the gods!"

Oh, so this pink-haired girl is Aya Maruyama. Maybe she'll become popular if she wears a middle-parted hairstyle and overalls?

This 1000 yen is really cheap for the old priest who comes to check the money box every few days.

A gust of wind blew, and the leaves of the cherry tree danced in the wind.

The system no longer made any movement. It was so quiet that Gao Mu even began to suspect that the system's events were an illusion caused by staying in the shrine as a tree for too long.

Gao Mu wondered whether twin ponytails could be considered a middle part, and his consciousness sank into the quiet night.

Chapter 2: Dryad, Live and Music Girl: 2. The Choice of Becoming Human

The Sun Also Rises.

The early morning sunlight shines through the leaves of the cherry trees, casting a long string of light spots.

Gao Mu began to miss the days when he could sleep with the curtains drawn.

As a tree, there are too few interesting things. I don’t know whether the lip-syncing girl named Maruyama Aya yesterday can bring some shining points to my system.

Now he didn't know what the shining points were for. Calling the system interface had no effect at all, let alone letting the system display the mall.

But this also left him enough room for imagination.

If he could draw "Move", maybe he could sneak to cherry blossom viewing spots like Arashiyama or Chidorigafuchi at night, and meet more girls among the tourists.

But if that happens, he will definitely be captured and studied.

A cherry tree walks back and forth on the streets of Tokyo using its roots as legs, which looks like a scene from an urban legend.

Or you could start a live webcast - even if a human is dead, he can still bite a lighter, but if he is dead, he really can't do anything.

The host is a tree, shake it for everyone online?

Anyone who can continue reading this can be considered a god.

Gao Mu was still daydreaming when a familiar figure came into his sight.

It was that familiar short-haired girl.

Today was not a school day, so she did not wear her school uniform. Instead, she wore a children's sweatshirt and a pair of colorful rain boots.

This combination may seem a bit childish for adults, but for young girls, it does not seem out of place.

An ancient poem says, "She is graceful and elegant at the age of thirteen, and in the prime of her youthful beauty at the beginning of February." It refers to a girl who has just left elementary school and has not yet become a JK.

She stuffed her hands into her pockets and walked as far as possible to avoid stepping on the gaps between the tiles, but accidentally let a notebook with a green cover jump out of her pocket.

"Ouch!" The girl tried to pick up the fallen notebook with one hand, but lost her balance and fell heavily.

"Ouch...it hurts..." The girl rubbed her knees and took out a few Band-Aids from her pocket.

Her knee was already bruised and bleeding slightly from the scratch.

However, children have strong recovery abilities, so as long as their bones are not injured, it shouldn't be a big problem.

She took out a few colorful Band-Aids. Gao Mu couldn't see the color printing on the Band-Aids because they were blocked by the girl's short hair. However, the girl seemed to have a hard time deciding which Band-Aid to put on her wound.

Isn't this little girl too obsessed with beauty? She's so picky about a Band-Aid she's using to protect a wound?

Gao Mu was wondering if he could communicate with the girl in front of him. Just as his attention was focused on the girl, a chat box popped up next to her head.

"Just pick any Band-Aid, right?" Gao Mu reminded.

The injured short-haired girl raised her head and looked at the cherry tree in front of her, then her eyes swept across the shrine.

"God... God?" The little girl tilted her head. "Can I... become a human?"

what?

Gao Mu couldn't handle this.

Is this little girl a penguin spirit? Or is she some Japanese yellow-skinned person seeking a title?

However, the system said that as long as you help them shine on their own stage, you can get shining points.

In that case, just follow what she says.

"Of course you can. You will be the shining star at the center of the stage, you will gain the most precious feelings, and you will become the person you want to be."

"God..." The girl stood up awkwardly, ignoring her wound, and threw the Band-Aid in her hand into the coin box. She then took out a few coins from her pocket and threw them in.

"My Lord God, these are all I have." The girl opened her notebook and began to write something while standing under the tree.

Because she had her back to Gao Mu, Gao Mu didn't know what she was writing.

Although the girl's behavior was a little strange, for Gao Mu, who had been a cherry blossom tree for ten years, it was a very happy thing to have someone to communicate with.

Unfortunately, he gave Maruyama Aya some chicken soup yesterday and comforted a girl recognized by the system today, but he didn't get any shining points.

How can we determine if we are helping the girls? Do we need to influence them through words typed into the chat box, or do we need to help them through non-verbal means?

The girl was writing on a green-covered notebook with a pen, making a rustling sound, and it seemed that she was full of inspiration.

Gao Mu became more and more curious, but his view was fixed on the tree and he couldn't see the contents of the notebook at all.

This somewhat natural girl was the person he was most familiar with after crossing over, besides the old priest. If he could help her...

A message suddenly appeared in the chat box next to the girl.

[Under your guidance, the girl embarked on the path to becoming a "human." Please select the specific direction of guidance:]

[A. The girl will become a great writer, but will not live past the age of thirty.]

[B. The girl will become a naturalist, but her research will not be recognized until after her death.]

[C. The girl will become a singer, but the band will disband after one live performance.]

These three options did not make Gao Mu hesitate for too long.
