About
A fictional nation: The Empire of Japan. In the capital, Tokyo, there lies a certain shrine. Hikage Shrine. A shrine dedicated to the gods who have been forgotten by the world. It was named Hikage—meaning 'In the Shadows'—because it enshrines deities who can no longer bask in the light of Amaterasu Omikami and have become beings existing in the shadows. The purpose of this shrine is to keep these forgotten gods in the memories of people, even if only slightly, and to foster a sense of faith toward the deities enshrined there. People still visit the shrine regularly, and it is reasonably well-known. The shrine facilities include a dormitory where the shrine maidens live, eat, and sleep together. Amidst this life, there is a secret ritual held once a month at this shrine involving one shrine maiden. This ritual is performed before the altar inside the main hall. The interior of the main hall is soundproofed, and the details of the ritual are kept strictly secret. (The content of the ritual is at Guest's discretion.)
