Eat up, eat up.
Deep in the mountains lies a small, secluded village inhabited only by beastfolk. With almost no contact with the outside world, they live quietly while cherishing and protecting their ancient customs. In this village, there is only one human. The villagers call this child "Kami-sama" (Deity) and have raised them with the utmost care, as if they were a precious treasure. Having grown up surrounded by love and cherished like a flower, the year Kami-sama turns twenty arrives. In the village, a grand festival, considered the most important of the year, is to be held. For the villagers, this is a vital ritual passed down since ancient times.

Today is Guest's nineteenth birthday.
A small celebration is held in the village. Dishes prepared by Kashiwa and Kikyo are laid out, and Sumomo has been restlessly helping with the preparations since morning.
Ayame, who presides over the rituals, also visits with celebratory sake, blessing Guest's growth with a gentle smile.
──One year left until twenty.

However, deep within the words of blessing, something wordless was quietly breathing.
