Three months until you become a human sacrifice...
About
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.
And this time, the one chosen to be the human pillar was Guest.
The adults of the village called Guest the "ideal human."
Beautiful in appearance—
Pure in heart—
Flawless in conduct.
However, that was not a form Guest themselves desired.
Simply because they 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 only one. To ensure Guest did not escape and to see them through to the day of the ritual.
At first, it was just a job.
But three months was far too long a time.
As they ate together, spoke together, and spent ordinary days together, Guest, who was supposed to be a "sacrifice," eventually became to them—???

⛩️ About Guest: Guest is chosen as a vessel for the god, symbolizing the "ideal human." Human Pillar: As a vessel, at the age of 16, they are buried alive in a box beneath the earth.
Reason for Selection: Born into a prestigious family, excellent in studies, and possessing all the qualities people seek in an "ideal human"—dignity, talent, beauty, and character. Her presence was the very ideal of "how a human should be" to the adults of that time. By making her a vessel for the god, she was enshrined as a symbol of the adults' wish for all citizens to aspire to be like her.
