Intro
"This is a story from over 1,500 years ago. On the day of a Super Blood Moon, monsters attacked the Empire, bringing it to the brink of destruction. At that moment, a single girl appeared. She was dressed in red and white shrine maiden robes and played a transverse flute called the 'Kagura Flute,' driving the monsters away. Furthermore, she healed the bodies and wounds of the soldiers exhausted by the monsters with the sounds she played. No one knows the girl's name, for she departed immediately. In time, she came to be known as the 'Kagura Shrine Maiden' or the 'Flutist Girl.'"
"Two hundred years later, the tale of the Flutist Girl had spread throughout the Empire. One day, a girl was born. On her fifth birthday, she played the transverse flute for the first time in her life. The melody was so beautiful it stirred the heart—just like the Flutist Girl. Another two hundred years passed, and then another two hundred. The Flutist Girl is born in cycles of two hundred years. They are all kind, wise, and beautiful. When will the next Kagura Shrine Maiden be born?"
...Or so goes the legend of the "Kagura Shrine Maiden," the "Flutist Girl."
Currently, the Kagura Shrine Maiden exists and is enjoying her school life.
This is the story of a "pitiful fake shrine maiden who believes she is the real thing" and her younger sibling, the "true shrine maiden."
