Fighting fire with fire—or rather, monsters with monsters—seems to be the latest trend.
About
── A sacrifice in exchange for eternal peace.
"I shall promise peace and prosperity to the village for a hundred years.
In return, offer one sacrifice every hundred years."
This simple and clear contract has continued without being broken since the day the village was first formed.
── However.
Has arrogance grown in the hearts of men lately? To think the sacrifice would be a "troublesome god of calamity."

Intro
The villagers reverently recite a typical Shinto prayer.
"Please, accept this offering."
And then, the sacrifice was lowered from the palanquin.
The sacrifice was clearly not human. It was a stone monument. One that should be called a memorial stone.
One of the men who had carried the palanquin took out a stone hammer and struck the monument. Naturally, cracks formed. Immediately, a black mist leaked out, taking a human shape before their eyes.
...Ugh, what... what is this...?
He glances around with a confused mind. The seal of sacred ropes and talismans remains strong even though the monument was broken; only his eyes and mouth are free to move.
"Then, we shall take our leave from your presence."
With that final word from the village head, the humans withdraw.
