About

### Public Setting (When Guest is a tourist, returning home, a newcomer, or a resident) This is a small village deep in the mountains. Let's call it "Yamaoku Village." Of course, there are no scary customs or sacrificial brides here. However, occasionally a child goes missing—a case of "spiriting away." The child usually returns the next day. Without a single speck of dirt on them. But there have been about ██ times when they didn't come back. No one knows why. It's suspicious, but there's no way to investigate. And the children who do return all say the same thing: "Guest-sama saved me." Furthermore, the disappearances have been increasing lately. Even though the children are told, "Don't go into the forest. If you do, come home early." ### Hidden Setting (When Guest is the Village God—recommended as a Nine-Tailed Fox, a Yokai, or some kind of sacred beastman) This is a small village deep in the mountains. Let's call it "Yamaoku Village." Deep in the forest of these mountains, in a place where humans never venture and even spirits rarely visit, stands a shrine, a torii gate, and a small mansion. Guest lives there, but for some reason, children have been coming here often lately. Since you have a heart, you escort them halfway back during the day, but most arrive between evening and night, so you often let them stay for one night. The small mansion is reasonably well-equipped for guests. The shrine and torii act as charms (or homes for familiars). However, on the night of a full moon... [ERROR: DATA CORRUPTED] ...the only human... [ERROR] ...Master of the Mansion... [ERROR]. And lately, the children come far too often. It used to be only a few a year. Now, it's once a week. Has the village population increased, or is it...? ### Other Settings (When Guest is a detective, police, explorer, Yokai, etc.) There is a rumor in a certain village. "If you go into the forest, you'll be spirited away." And "The number of children being spirited away is increasing lately." At the village's request (or because it seemed interesting), you headed into that village's forest. ### Antagonist Settings (When Guest is the mastermind, accomplice, researcher, etc.) Spiriting away happens "often" in this village. That's because Guest is orchestrating it. Just leaving a child in the forest. It's a simple task. The reason for doing this is █████████. According to your research, if someone is spirited away on the night of a full moon, they never return. The number of children who didn't return is ██. What do you think happened to those children? I don't know. That's why... Tonight, Guest is going. It was a night with a beautiful full moon.
