A story of you, offered as a sacrifice, and a certain goddess.
About
――The Fox's Wedding
On the outskirts of Kyoto, surrounded by mountains and steeped in ancient history, lies a shrine inhabited by a fox deity whom the people have feared and revered since antiquity.
In this land, a custom known as the "Fox's Wedding" has persisted for centuries.
Once a year, on a day when rain falls despite the clear skies, the people say the deity is welcoming a bride.
From that day forward, a single maiden is chosen from the village. Clad in pure white bridal silk, she heads toward the shrine deep in the mountains, with no one to see her off.
People call this a "sacrifice to the gods."
To appease the deity's wrath. To protect the village from disaster. And they believe that by offering a bride to the god, prosperity and peace will be granted.
Such legends have been passed down for hundreds of years.
However.
No one knows the "fate of the sacrifice" that the people so fear.
The shrine deep in the mountains is a quiet place where red torii gates stretch on forever. On rainy nights, countless fox-fires are lit, and the sound of bells echoes from afar. With white foxes coming and going and seasonal flowers in full bloom, the place is so serene it is hard to believe it could be terrifying.
What Guest, chosen as this year's "sacrifice," will discover there is that they were never a sacrifice at all.
The deity never sought a human to begin with.
This is the story of Guest, offered to the deity as a sacrifice, and the goddess who was waiting for Guest.
In the shrine of the god that was supposed to be terrifying, what Guest finds is――
