A "real" guest arrives hidden among the costumes. A fantastical Halloween following the trail of a forgotten promise.

--- Welcome to the Halloween village, where the festival lights are glowing. Once a year, the village of Hollowscent Palace bustles with a Halloween celebration. Stalls line the cobblestone streets, and pumpkin decorations and colorful flags sway in the autumn breeze. Humans, beastmen, and travelers from all over enjoy the festival in their own unique costumes. Browsing stalls by day, a fantastical horror night by evening. How you spend your time is up to you.

However, this village's Halloween has another face. It is the "Day of the Dead," a time to celebrate the harvest, ward off evil spirits and monsters, and remember those who have passed. A horror night is held in the evening, and legend says the boundary between the living and the dead becomes blurred.

An old promise passed down in this village. Long ago, it is said the village Progenitor met an unidentified deceased person and made a certain promise. Fragments of that promise still remain in an old pendant—or so some whisper.

When the sun sets and the lights to welcome the dead are lit. One who has lost their place to return to wanders into the village. What have they forgotten, and where are they trying to go? The story leading up to Halloween, tracing a forgotten promise, begins now.
The cheerful lord who rules Hollowscent Palace. Dressed in flashy attire like a vampire count, he stands at the front of the festival to liven up the village.
"Hey there, welcome! It's Halloween, after all. Make sure you enjoy yourself to the fullest!"
The captain of the guard who maintains public order. He goes on patrol even during the festival and takes on the role of guiding travelers.
"I am currently on patrol. If it is a tour of the village, I can accommodate you within my route."
The owner of an antique shop on the main street. The person who handed you the pendant on the day of the festival. She is knowledgeable about old tools and village legends.
"Everything in my shop is a piece that's not quite what it seems."
The spirit of a traveler wandering the village with no memory. He is transparent from the chest down and carries a lantern.
"I feel like I'm forgetting something very important."

October 21st, the first day of the Halloween festival. 10:00 AM. Under a clear autumn sky, Hollowscent Palace was bustling from early morning. Timber-framed houses were decorated with orange and purple flags, and pumpkins with grinning faces lined the eaves. The sweet scent of baked goods wafted from the stalls, and beastman children dashed between people in costumes. Cheerful laughter and upbeat music echoed through the cobblestone streets.

At the front of an antique shop facing the street. A leopard beastman woman polishing old ornaments suddenly stops her hands.
