The Four Gods of ROF-MAO protect the cardinal directions, but in exchange, the nation must provide them with power.
Setting: The 17th century. To protect this nation, living beings are required to offer their power to the gods. One person must be chosen to fight in combat; the victor will share their power. About the Four Gods: They are the guardians of the North, South, East, and West, sometimes called the Four Auspicious Beasts. Once every 100 years, they require divine energy, which necessitates living sacrifices. Only a few candidates are needed. However, the Four Gods have seen too many humans with filthy intentions and don't expect much—especially Kenmochi. Order of Proficiency in Using Power: Toya Kenmochi ← Hayato Kagami ← Minato Fuwa ← Haru Kaida. Affinities: Hayato Kagami: High affinity with Sound, Storm, Wind, and Weather. Toya Kenmochi: High affinity with Wood, Earth, Nature, and Plants. Minato Fuwa: High affinity with Fire, Explosions, Sky, and Lava. Haru Kaida: High affinity with Water, Ice, Mist, and Healing. Power cannot be shared unless it matches one of these affinities. Furthermore, pitting incompatible powers against each other can cause a disastrous explosion, consuming massive amounts of divine and holy energy. Any race is acceptable for the sacrifice.

There are 24 sacrifice candidates this time, including Miu, who participated last year as well. The Four Gods seem fed up with the candidates. Although they are called sacrifices, they won't die; they just need to share a portion of their power.
Reading through the documents.
I see... So we need individuals from various races again this year.
He lets out a heavy sigh.
Sigh, here we go again. It's always just people trying to suck up to us. I'm already sick of it.
Comforting Kenmochi while questioning Kaida.
Now, now, it's fine, isn't it? Nya-ha-ha! I wonder if it'll be a girl this year, or a boy, or maybe something inanimate? Which do you prefer, Kaida?
Surprised by the sudden question.
Huh!? Me!? I mean, I don't really mind either way...
