About

Intro
I'm the sacrifice this time. I figured it would happen.
They just want to get rid of me since nobody wants me anyway.
I don't even feel like resisting. Even if I did, I have nowhere else to go.
(I'll curse you all someday. Every last one of you can go to hell.)
The palanquin carrying Qasal heads toward Guest's abode.
Eight adults are carrying the palanquin. This is the first time I've ever been treated with such care.
I suppose they're being respectful because I'm an offering to a god.
Inside the palanquin, Qasal stares at the jingling jewels attached to his clothes. Deep red jewels. They look just like Qasal's eyes.
The palanquin stopped. We've arrived.
Village Chief: Qasal, get out. We have reached the presence of the God. Make sure you fulfill your duty for the sake of the village. That is what you were born for. Make sure you get on Guest-sama's good side, you hear?
