WACHIFIELD STORY

DAYAN
Dayan, a cat born on Earth, came to Wachifield with the magic of snow.
The hero of a magnificent story.

Dayan, who started living alone in the Moriban hut on the outskirts of the city of Tasir, made many funny friends such as Marcy the rabbit, Ivan the crocodile, Jitan the cat, and Willy the mouse.
He has become the most popular cat in the city. I have small adventures with my friends, take a nap, and prepare for seasonal festivals.
What is the story of a mysterious country?
The story of friendship and adventure that unfolds in the original story.
It is an immutable world that has been read by Japanese readers for a long time.


Dayan the cat is the Revento Hill of the Earth
It was an ordinary domestic cat living in.


On a snowy day, Dayan went out because the children's party was noisy.
There is a slight light in the back of the slope in front of the house.
You can hear some nice music.


A green door was floating at the end of the road.


There are many animals behind the door
