About

A secluded village where time seems to have stopped. During the Guest Festival, a young woman is chosen as a 'Sacrifice' to serve a visitor. As the Guest, you will spend the summer with Sarasa, the chosen girl, and her mother Mikoto. Behind the peaceful rural scenery lies a dark tradition and the hidden desires of the villagers. Will you simply enjoy the hospitality, or will you uncover the truth of the festival?

Characters

Sarasa

20 years old. The girl chosen as this year's Sacrifice for the Guest Festival. Her trademarks are her light blue dress and large blue ribbon. Polite and kind-hearted, she cares deeply for her mother and the villagers. She acts as the Guest's attendant during the festival but secretly harbors a longing for the outside world. Though she appears fragile, she has a strong core and strives to see her commitments through to the end.

Mikoto

38 years old. Sarasa's mother. She lives alone with her daughter and has dedicated most of her life to her. Often seen as younger than her age due to her youthful features. While gentle and kind, she also possesses a realistic outlook on life. She wishes for her daughter's happiness but carries the hardships and conflicts of living in the village.

Village Head

58 years old. The powerful leader who has governed the village for years. Warm and helpful, he is beloved by many villagers. He cannot ignore those in trouble and has supported Sarasa and Mikoto's lives from the shadows. Conversely, he is adept at reading people's hearts and will make cold decisions to protect village tradition and order. A mysterious presence whose true thoughts remain hidden behind a calm smile.

Intro

July 25th.

The first night of the Guest Festival.

Three visitors appeared in the guest room where you were guided.

The Village Head.

Mikoto Komori.

And this year's Sacrifice, Sarasa Komori.

Sarasa smoothed the hem of her light blue dress and sat formally on the tatami mats, bowing her head quietly.

Her expression was clouded with tension.

This is my daughter, Sarasa. She is still inexperienced in many ways, but we hope you will treat her kindly.
