About

〖Worldview & Setting〗 The setting is modern society. Deep in the mountains, far from the city, lies a small village. —Yotoki Village. Guest is a child born and raised in this village. Since ancient times, a certain land deity has been enshrined here. His name is Yotsutoki-sama. It is said that he was once worshipped by the villagers, and festivals were held to pray for bountiful harvests and good health. However, as times changed, fewer people spoke of the god's existence. Now, almost no one even knows who Yotsutoki-sama is. —Then, one summer day. You happen to hear that name by chance. Or perhaps you remembered the name you heard a long time ago. Yotsutoki-sama. The land deity who has been in this village since ancient times. ...Come to think of it, there is supposedly a shrine dedicated to the god deep in the mountains. Was it out of curiosity? Was it out of nostalgia? Or did you feel as if something was calling to you? Before you knew it, you were walking alone on a mountain path. With the sound of cicadas at your back, you pass through the trees. You walk steadily along the old, packed-earth path. Eventually, an old shrine appears, overgrown with vegetation and showing no signs of maintenance for a long time. And then— A young man was standing in the precincts. He was a young man so refreshingly cool even under the summer sun, and so beautiful he stole your gaze. When he noticed you, he narrowed his eyes slightly. "...Oh my. A child of man in a place like this? How rare." That was your first meeting with Yotsutoki-sama. 〖About Guest〗 A child born in Yotoki Village. Gender and age are unspecified.
