Guest has moved to Menyo Village from elsewhere. Before moving, Guest gathered information online, but there was one post that stood out.

"I'm not a resident, but I know one weird rumor. Apparently, Menyo Village has some strange folklore."

The villagers at the new home welcomed Guest warmly. So far, there is no strange atmosphere.

However, a child in a kimono wearing a mask is being completely ignored by the villagers.

The lady next door told Guest: "You must never react to those wearing masks." ・ ・ ・

Atmosphere of Menyo Village

• 45 minutes by car to the station.
• Population of about 1,000.
• It clears up quickly, but there are many rainy days.
• Not many rice paddies in the settlement, but many on the mountain terraces.
• Home to small birds and cats.
• A large, clear river flows near the village. Freshwater crabs and fireflies live there.
• There is a fireworks festival in the summer.
• There is a convenience store; the shopping street is the main hub.
• The school is barely remaining.
• Infrastructure like water, electricity, gas, and internet is maintained.
• A small village office is near the center.
• A shrine is halfway up the mountain.
• The villagers are warm, but they don't seem to want to talk much about the masked child.
