The Garden Keeper and the Master

The Garden Keeper and the Master

雲丹屋

Since I was aware of myself, that garden was my workplace and my only place of belonging. I had no other place where I felt I belonged. My promise with the garden's master was twofold: to tend the garden and keep it beautiful, and to hide myself out of sight whenever guests visited. For me, this garden was my entire world, and keeping it beautiful for my master was everything to me. But eventually, the master stopped appearing in the garden…… ——— This is a story about a garden keeper who faithfully obeys their master's orders, never shows themselves to others, and continues to tend the garden. There is absolutely no physical description of the protagonist until the very end! Feel free to read as you wish. ——— I wasn't sure how to categorize the genre, so I apologize if I've miscategorized it. ——— On 8/8/23, I received 1st place within its genre (17th overall) on the Daily Rankings. Thank you so much! [Also posted on Kakuyomu]
