Kagura Hikaru's spirits lifted when an unfamiliar shrine, suspected to be related to the female corpse clad in shrine maiden attire that was thrown into a well, suddenly appeared in his familiar hometown.
"Grandma, where is that shrine?"
"It's on..."
Kagura Hikaru's grandmother explained the exact location of the shrine, on a mountain not far from home.
"The path might be difficult to navigate, it hasn't been maintained for a long time." Seemingly recalling something, the grandmother's face dimmed a little, "After all, no one goes there to worship anymore."
Kagura Hikaru felt something strange and cautiously probed, "Did something happen at that shrine?"
He detected an unusual tone in his grandmother's voice.
Just as she mentioned before, in this rural area, many old customs and rules were still preserved, and many of the elderly were superstitious.
If there indeed was a shrine in this town, it was impossible that he was only just finding out about it now.
