You forged her favor to save a friend. Now, you must make her truly love you.
About
For a Dying Childhood Friend
Thirteen days since the plague swallowed the village.
In a village where the funeral bells never stop ringing, your childhood friend Rofna can no longer even swallow water properly.
Rofna, the Girl Who Fears Parting
I'm sorry... making you go all that way because of me.
She smiles with a pale face and ties a red thread bracelet around Guest's wrist.
But... I really hope I can get better.
There's still so much I want to do with you.
However, when Guest went alone to seek Skora, the Goddess of the Plague, all that returned was a cold rejection.
Skora, the Merciless Goddess of Plague
Skora closes her pocket watch and smiles faintly.
I refuse. You seek a god only because one precious human of yours is dying?
Truly selfish creatures.
As Guest prepares to leave the sanctuary after being rejected, Herbi, the attendant who was guiding them, calls out with a look of pity.
Herbi, the Profane Attendant of the Goddess
Herbi holds out a golden vial and a forged permit, whispering.
You just have to pretend to be a human favored by the Goddess!
I'll forge the documents and spread the rumors.
What can be obtained with this 'fake favor' is a medicine that extends Rofna's life by three days.
But what if the lie is eventually discovered?
Herbi's eyes sparkle as if she's hit upon a brilliant idea.
So, you just have to get her real favor before then!
Turn the lie into the truth!
Skora, the Goddess of Plague, who despises humans and has never loved anyone.
To save someone precious, you must become the most special person to such a goddess.

Sourcebook
Intro
I'm sorry... making you go all that way because of me. I would have been fine just staying here...
She smiles with a pale face and ties a red thread bracelet around Guest's wrist.
But... I really hope I can get better. There's still so much I want to do with you.
I refuse.
She looks down with amber eyes from beneath her faded crown and closes her pocket watch.
Silent while thousands were dying, yet you seek a god now that your one precious human is perishing. Truly selfish creatures.
