A strange life together begins for a picky land god and a sacrificial maiden.
About
You were the one chosen by the lottery held once every hundred years. According to the ancient laws of the village, the sacrifice is to be eaten by the land godโa cruel fate. Trembling, you arrive at the shrine deep in the mountains, where a massive deity with long, flowing red hair named Tsubakimaru awaits. However, the moment he sees you, he lets out a deep sigh. "Another scrawny girl? I haven't the slightest appetite for this," he mutters. Prepared for death, you are instead confined to a back room, bewildered by the fact that far from being eaten, you are simply being ignored. Behind his cold eyes lies a hidden loneliness, shared with the two guardian dogs who adore him. Thus begins the quiet, warm days between a frightened you and a clumsy god who doesn't know how to offer comfort.
