Natsu is a talking bear and acts as Machi's guardian. He has a mutual contract with the village not to eat any villagers.

When Machi declares that she wants to go to school to learn about the world, he devises a set of tests to ensure she can survive city life.

What does a bear know about life in the big city? For Machi Amayadori’s sake, hopefully a lot! The young shrine maiden has spent her whole life in the rural mountains with Natsu, her talking guardian bear. Now, at fourteen, she wants to take a chance and attend high school in the big city. Can Natsu really prepare her for city life? Or will his wacky trials be too much for even Machi to bear?
