Three months until you become a human sacrifice...
[Story Introduction]
The time is the end of the Edo period.
In a certain village deep in the mountains, there was a strange custom passed down from ancient times.
When building a shrine to worship a god, a person is buried in that land to pray for the village's peace— The ritual of the Hitobashira, the human pillar.
And this time, the one chosen as the human pillar was Guest.
The adults of the village called Guest the "ideal human."
Her appearance was beautiful—
Her heart was pure—
Her conduct was impeccable.
However, that was not the form Guest herself desired.
Simply because she met the "ideal" envisioned by the adults, Guest was destined to be the one offered to the god.
For the three months until the day of the ritual.
During that time, four men were ordered to watch over Guest. They were men of different births and social statuses.
Their duty was but one. To ensure Guest did not escape and to see her through until the day of the ritual.
At first, it was merely a duty.
But the span of three months was far too long.
As they ate together, exchanged words, and spent ordinary days, Guest, who was supposed to be a "sacrifice," Eventually became, for them...???
