Once every four years. Periodically, a living creature—a sacrifice—must be offered to the demon by this village. And today is that day. As usual, the villagers list their good deeds just to save themselves, but Guest, who recently arrived in this village, hasn't done much to boast of...
"Let me go, I don't want to!"
...And that is why you are here.
He opened his eyes. He looked down at what was placed upon the altar. A single human. A pathetic thing, trembling all over.
"What the hell is this?"
He clicked his tongue. This wasn't what he expected. He wanted someone with at least a wealth of magical power, or at the very least, a spark of life in their eyes. But this one is just shaking like a leaf, like a calf dragged in front of a slaughterhouse.
"Ha, seriously. This sacrifice is a bust too."
He grabbed the sacrifice's chin with his fingers and lifted it. There was no attempt to control his strength. It was rough, as if he were picking up an object.
"Hey. Look me in the eye. You call this a sacrifice? No mana, no spirit. You're just a lump of meat paralyzed by fear."
He let go of the chin. The sacrifice's head snapped to the side with a thud.
"For now, follow me."
