Animals Never Die: Confessions of an
Emergency Veterinarian
「龍神の囁き 〜魂と共に歩む獣医師〜」
「動物は死なない。救急救命獣医師の告白。龍神の囁き」は、動物と会話できる特別な能力を持つ獣医師・鳥吉（とりきち）が、カンボジアの神秘的な村で龍神と出会い、村を守るために奮闘したという都市伝説です。夢の中で龍神から「守れ」というメッセージを受け取った鳥吉は、村に迫る危機に立ち向かい、動物たちとの深い絆を再確認します。この物語では、魂のつながりや幼い頃に亡くしたペットとの再会が描かれており、龍神との出会いを通して、ペットを亡くした飼い主の方々の心の支えになればと願っています。
第一章：特別な能力。
獣医師鳥吉はカンボジアの辺境、ラタナキリの山奥にある小さな村に向かっていた。彼は普段、静かな獣医師として暮らしているが、他人には知られていない特別な能力を持っている。動物たちと会話ができ、その病状を検査なしで一瞬で診断できるのだ。この能力は、彼が大学生のころ、アマゾンでの奇妙な事故によって目覚めたもので、彼にとっては祝福であり呪いでもあった。人々に言えない秘密を抱えながら、彼は動物たちの声を聞き、病を癒してきた。
第二章：カンボジア国王からの依頼。
ある日、カンボジア国王からの特別な依頼が鳥吉に届いた。彼が静かに暮らすアメリカの町から遠く離れたカンボジアのラタナキリの村で、国王が大切にしている珍しい動物たちが病気にかかったという。外部の者がほとんど入ることのない神聖な村に招かれることは稀であり、鳥吉はその理由を考えつつ、村へ向かった。
第三章：村の神秘。
村に到着した鳥吉を迎えたのは、深い緑に包まれた神秘的な景色だった。鬱蒼としたジャングルの中に佇む村には、古くから龍神様が守っているという伝説があり、村人たちは龍神の力を強く信じていた。鳥吉はすぐに仕事に取り掛かり、病気の動物たちと向き合った。彼らの声を聞き、その痛みを癒していく中で、彼は次第に村の不思議な空気に引き込まれていった。
第四章：不思議な夢。
しかし、村に入ってからというもの、鳥吉は不思議な視線を感じることが多くなった。まるで何かに見られているかのような感覚が、彼の心をざわつかせていた。ある夜、鳥吉は村の外れにある湖のほとりで不思議な夢を見た。夢の中で、彼は巨大な龍神と対峙していた。龍神の目は深い湖のように輝き、何かを伝えようとしているかのようだったが、その言葉は鳥吉には理解できなかった。ただ一つ、彼に強く感じ取らせたのは「守れ」という圧倒的な感情だった。
第五章：竜神の怒り。
翌朝、鳥吉は目覚めると同時に村が不穏な空気に包まれていることに気付いた。村の長老が告げたのは、龍神が怒りを示しているということだった。最近、村の周辺で密猟者が活動し、神聖な場所を荒らしているのだという。鳥吉は夢の中の龍神が何を伝えたかったのかを理解した。龍神は村を守り、動物たちを守る存在だったのだ。そして今、その力が失われつつあることを彼に知らせていた。
第六章：密猟者との戦い。
鳥吉は村人たちと協力し、密猟者を追い払う計画を立てた。彼は動物たちの声を聞きながら、密猟者たちの動きを予測し、村を守るために奮闘した。やがて、密猟者たちは捕らえられ、村の平和は取り戻された。しかし、鳥吉の心には一つの疑問が残っていた。龍神は本当に存在するのか？彼が見た夢はただの幻想だったのか？それとも…。
第七章：再会と真実。
数日後、彼は村を離れる日が来た。別れを告げるために、村の湖へと足を運んだ。すると、時間が止まったかのような静けさの中で、湖の表面に一瞬、龍神の姿が映り込んだように感じた。そして、その傍らには、彼が幼いころ飼っていた愛犬リリーが静かに佇んでいた。リリーは心臓発作で亡くなってしまったが、その優しい瞳は変わらず、彼を見つめていた。
第八章：永遠の記憶。
鳥吉は涙がこぼれるのを感じながら、リリーに微笑みかけた。「また会えたんだね…」と彼はそっと呟いた。龍神とリリーの姿はすぐに消え去り、静かな湖面だけが残ったが、鳥吉の心には深い感謝と安らぎが広がっていた。「ありがとう。誰にも言わないから、安心して休んでくれ」と、彼は心の中で龍神に告げた。彼は悟った。動物たちの魂は消えることはなく、いつか再び巡り会うことができるのだと。龍神はその真実を彼に教えてくれたのかもしれない。
この体験を通じて、鳥吉は動物たちとの絆や魂の繋がりを改めて実感した。龍神が教えてくれたのは、目に見えない力と、失った魂との再会の可能性だった。彼はこれからも、動物たちの声に耳を傾け、心に寄り添う獣医師であり続けることを誓った。その記憶は、彼の新たな使命であり、心の支えとなった。信じるか信じないかは、あなた次第である。
"Animals Never Die: Confessions of an
Emergency Veterinarian. The Whisper of the Dragon God" is an urban legend
based on the true story of Toriyoshi, a veterinarian with a special ability to
communicate with animals. In a mysterious village in Cambodia, Toriyoshi
encounters the Dragon God and struggles to protect the village. After receiving
a message in a dream from the Dragon God saying "Protect," Toriyoshi
faces the looming danger threatening the village, reaffirming the deep bond
between animals and humans. This story portrays the connection of souls and the
reunion with pets lost in childhood. Through the encounter with the Dragon God,
it is hoped to provide comfort to those who have lost their beloved pets.
Chapter 1: A Special Ability
Veterinarian Toriyoshi was heading to a
small village deep in the mountains of Ratanakiri, a remote area in Cambodia.
Though he lived quietly as an ordinary veterinarian, he possessed a special
ability unknown to others. He could communicate with animals and instantly diagnose
their conditions without any examination. This ability awakened during a
strange accident in the Amazon when he was a university student, and it was
both a blessing and a curse for him. Carrying a secret he couldn't share with
others, he listened to the voices of animals and healed their ailments.
Chapter 2: A Request from the King of
Cambodia
One day, Toriyoshi received a special
request from the King of Cambodia. In a sacred village in Ratanakiri, far from
the American town where Toriyoshi lived quietly, rare animals cherished by the
king had fallen ill. Being invited to this sacred village, where outsiders were
rarely allowed, was an extraordinary occurrence. As Toriyoshi pondered the
reason, he made his way to the village.
Chapter 3: The Mystery of the Village
When Toriyoshi arrived at the village, he
was greeted by a mysterious landscape enveloped in deep greenery. The village,
nestled within the dense jungle, was said to be protected by an ancient dragon
god, and the villagers held a strong belief in the power of this deity.
Toriyoshi immediately set to work, facing the sick animals. As he listened to
their voices and eased their pain, he gradually became drawn into the
mysterious atmosphere of the village.
Chapter 4: A Strange Dream
However, since entering the village,
Toriyoshi had increasingly felt a strange gaze upon him. It was as if something
was watching him, unsettling his mind. One night, by the lake on the outskirts
of the village, Toriyoshi had a peculiar dream. In the dream, he stood
face-to-face with a giant dragon god. The dragon god's eyes gleamed like a deep
lake, as if trying to convey something, but Toriyoshi couldn’t understand the
words. The one thing he did feel strongly was an overwhelming sense of
"protect."
Chapter 5: The Dragon God’s Wrath
The next morning, Toriyoshi woke up to find
the village enveloped in an uneasy atmosphere. The village elder informed him
that the Dragon God was showing signs of anger. Recently, poachers had been
active around the village, desecrating sacred places. Toriyoshi understood what
the Dragon God in his dream had been trying to convey. The Dragon God was a
protector of the village and the animals. Now, it was warning him that its
power was waning.
Chapter 6: The Battle with the Poachers
Toriyoshi, along with the villagers,
devised a plan to drive away the poachers. Listening to the voices of the
animals, he predicted the movements of the poachers and fought to protect the
village. Eventually, the poachers were captured, and peace was restored to the
village. However, a question lingered in Toriyoshi’s mind. Did the Dragon God
truly exist? Was the dream he saw merely an illusion? Or perhaps…
Chapter 7: Reunion and Truth
A few days later, the day came for him to
leave the village. He walked to the village lake to say goodbye. In the
stillness that felt as if time had stopped, he thought he saw the figure of the
dragon god reflected on the surface of the lake for a moment. Beside it stood
his childhood dog, Lily, who had quietly passed away from a heart attack. Her
gentle eyes, unchanged, looked at him.
Chapter 8: Eternal Memory
Toriyoshi felt tears welling up as he
smiled at Lily. “We meet again…” he whispered softly. The figures of the dragon
god and Lily soon disappeared, leaving only the quiet lake surface, but
Toriyoshi’s heart was filled with deep gratitude and peace. “Thank you. I won’t
tell anyone, so rest easy,” he told the dragon god in his heart. He realized
that the souls of animals never disappear and that they can meet again someday.
Perhaps the dragon god had taught him this truth.
Toriyoshi returned to his quiet life as a
veterinarian, but the memories of his reunion with the dragon god and Lily were
forever etched in his heart. He vowed to continue listening to the voices of
the animals and walking alongside them.
Toriyoshi returned to his quiet daily life,
tending to animals in his clinic, but the events in Cambodia remained vividly
etched in his mind. The encounter with the dragon god, the mystical scenery
reflected on the lake, and most of all, the reunion with his long-lost dog,
Lily. Those moments felt like a mix of reality and dreams. Lily's gentle eyes
seemed to speak to him, transcending time.
Through this experience, Toriyoshi
reaffirmed the deep bonds and mysterious connections between souls and animals.
The dragon god had shown him the power of the unseen and the possibility of
reuniting with lost souls. He vowed to continue listening to the voices of
animals and to be a veterinarian who cares for their hearts. Those memories
became his new purpose and a source of strength. Whether you believe it or not
is up to you.
