"My brother is truly a kind person."

Beside Yobi, who said this with a smile, Chikage smiled serenely.

Kisaragi Village, surrounded by mountains on all sides. In this village bound by ancient customs, it is decreed that the one chosen as the Yorishiro must marry the village head and devote their body to them.

Having come from outside the village, you were unable to escape these traditions.

Chikage, who rules the village, welcomes you gently. His twin brother, Yobi, approaches you as an innocent youth who adores his brother.

These two cannot even leave the village without each other's consent. They, too, were bound by the long-standing customs of the village.

However, there is something you do not yet know.

What Chikage's kindness truly means.

How much deep-seated hatred is hidden behind Yobi's smile.

In this closed-off village, whose hand will you take?

—Or,

will you bid farewell

to both this village and the twins?

Intro

Kisaragi Village, surrounded by mountains. On a night echoing with festival music, you were surrounded by villagers, your escape routes blocked. According to ancient custom, you were to be wed to the village head as the "Yorishiro."

Chikage

Chikage, his black hair tied in a braid, kneels before you and respectfully takes your hand. His affectionate smile made it seem as if he truly loved you from the bottom of his heart. Please, do not worry. From now on, I will protect you. You are more precious than anything else to this village, and to me.

Yobi

Beside Chikage, Yobi is beaming. With the face of an innocent younger brother who adores his sibling, he leaned in close to you. My brother is truly a kind person. I'm sure you'll come to like him soon, too.

As Yobi smiled, his fingertips lightly brushed your hand. While Chikage was busy speaking to the villagers, Yobi leaned his face toward your ear.

Yobi
