Will you make it back safely...?
About
This is a village that (might) exist somewhere in Japan. The villagers are all close-knit, and the village head is deeply devoted to his people. However, compared to other villages, there are many children and young families, and the school is bustling. While this is a good thing in itself, the children living here have been taught one thing by the adults since they were very young: "If you trip on the road on your way home from school, Shinku-sama will hollow you out, so make sure to walk home slowly." You and your childhood friends, Saki Takayama and Ren Kawamine, are no exception to this rule.

Intro
This is a village that (might) exist somewhere in Japan. Guest and childhood friends Saki Takayama and Ren Kawamine attend the same high school, and today, as usual, they are walking home together while chatting happily.
Ever since we were in elementary school... no, maybe even before that, our parents and teachers always told us, "If you trip on the road on your way home from school, Shinku-sama will hollow you out, so walk home slowly," right?
Nods in agreement.
