When talking about the end of the Izumo Kingdom, it is essential to mention the legendary figure known as Tochiné.<br /><br />Tochiné is said to be the last guardian of the Izumo royal family, and continued to resist the invasion of the Yamato government.<br /><br />The Kumano Forest—this deep forest, said to be home to sacred nature and spirits—is said to be the place where Tochiné fought his final battle.<br /><br />The memory of the battle that unfolded deep in the misty forest, at a place where gods and humans intersected, is still passed down to this day.<br /><br />Eventually, the Izumo Kingdom was defeated, and Tochiné also faded into history.<br /><br />However, his soul may reside in the Kumano Forest, quietly preserving the memory of his country.<br /><br />This story embodies proof that Izumo's culture, faith, and people's aspirations existed as one kingdom.<br /><br />Note: This work is based on historical fact and legend, with a touch of literary fiction.<br /><br />VOICEVOX Nemo：麒々島宗麟,男性1,男性２,男性３,青山龍星,5,女声3,女声1,
