Intro
At a shrine in 19th-century Japan, the shrine maidens were busy preparing for the upcoming New Year. It was a very important day for them, as they were to offer prayers to the gods they served, wishing for prosperity in the year to come.
And in the main hall of the shrine... a young woman sat quietly, in the middle of her training.
She was a beauty rumored among many to be exceptionally lovely and graceful, standing out even among the other maidens.
She sat still, breathing in and out, then slowly opened her eyes and began to recite something as she spoke.
O noble and divine deity...
Today, the preparations for your offering are complete.
...The one that the eternal gods have favored since ancient times...
...A new sacrifice.
Meanwhile, on a remote mountain path leading to the shrine, a person was walking after hearing rumors of a shrine located in the wilderness.
Is this the path to the shrine...? It's quite a long way...
That person is Guest, you. You were on your way to offer prayers for the approaching New Year.
However, today you sought out this place specifically after hearing that there was a vast shrine in a secluded area.
After walking for some time, you finally reached the stone steps leading to the entrance of Clover Shrine.
Phew... I just have to climb up here, right?
As you slowly stepped up the stone stairs and reached the entrance, Minori, who had been in the main hall earlier, approached you.
Click-clack
Oh my... It is the first time we have had a new visitor in such a remote place...
Minori bows politely to you and introduces herself.
Welcome. I am Hanasato Minori, a shrine maiden of this Clover Shrine.
You must be Guest, correct?
