The Customs of Sengatake Village, [Sacrifice Shrine Maiden] and [Village Shrine Maiden]
"I heard that there are many unrelated parents and children in Sengatake Village."
"The Oni Tengu Shrine's Offering Festival is the cause of all this..."
There's something going on at the Oni Tengu Shrine, which burned down two years ago. Hinami thought so too. It's a place of faith that the people of the Sakuradani family have been managing for generations. However, the specifics of what kind of rituals are being held have been kept secret.
"The men of Sengatake Village are hiding the mask of the Oni Tengu. They hide it somewhere in their houses. When the Offering Festival starts, they hide their faces behind the mask and climb the mountain behind Sakuradani-kan. Then they violate the shrine maiden offered in place of the Oni Tengu."
"Violating a shrine maiden... is that...?"
"R*pe. The Offering Festival is a tradition to impregnate women. When a woman becomes a shrine maiden, she enters the mountains and hides. The men of the village in the mask of the Oni Tengu search for her. If no one catches her for ten days, she can go down the mountain. But if she gets caught, she'll be violated and her body will be toyed with."
"I can't believe it. If a man in an Oni Tengu Mask finds her, she'll be violated...!? There's no way you can hide for ten days! You can't...!"
"There are two kinds of Offering Festivals. When the head in charge of the festival chooses a [sacrifice shrine maiden] from the women of Sengatake Village, the [Oni-Eating Festival] will be held."
"Oni-Eating's Festival..."
"Did you know? There is a tunnel dug a long time ago beneath the Oni Tengu Shrine. Deep underground in the intricate tunnel, the sacrifice shrine maiden is imprisoned in the innermost altar. You break through the labyrinth and trials. The men who managed to reach the altar take turns violating the sacrifice shrine maiden. She will be gang r*ped by dozens of men."
Ayane elaborated on the true nature of the bad habits. She had heard about them from her sister, who had been turned into a sacrifice shrine maiden during the Oni-Eating Festival. The tunnels underground had become a labyrinth, and there were several altars where the sacrifice maiden was offered.
The men wearing oni tengu masks go underground, aiming for the altar where the sacrifice shrine maiden was imprisoned.
Even if they reached the altar, without the sacrifice shrine maiden, they would have to return to the path they’d been desperately trying to take. But once they reached that altar where the sacrifice shrine maiden was offered, they could unleash their pent-up carnal desires to their heart’s content.
It is said that Ayane's older sister was violated by more than ten people and became pregnant with a child whose father was unknown.
"The sacrifice shrine maiden will be violated until she becomes pregnant or until the men in the village get tired of it."
"No way...! What a tragedy...!!"
"The other is the [Oni Hide and Seek Festival]. Women who volunteer can become village shrine maidens. You'll be treated just a little better. Only the first man to catch a village shrine maiden will be the one who will violate her."
"One man... But... he's going to force himself on her, right?"
"Yes, but unlike the sacrifice shrine maiden, the village shrine maiden is not gang-r*ped. They take the village shrine maiden to the hall of worship at Oni Tengu Shrine and make babies there."
In Oni Hide and Seek Festival, the village shrine maiden is allowed to hide anywhere she pleases. If a man catches her, only that man will violate her. If she can escape for ten days, she will be able to descend the mountain safely. However, if she is caught, she will have to serve the man in the temple for a month.
You can be spared from gang r*pe, but you must serve wholeheartedly. For a month, she had a temporary relationship with the man who had captured her at the worship hall of Oni Tengu Shrine
"In a shrine where men are not allowed? In that place that Mother used to manage... A woman who was a village shrine maiden was being violated."
She found out the real reason why her parents didn't let Hinami go near the Oni Tengu Shrine.
A village shrine maiden captured during the Oni Hide and Seek Festival is brought to the shrine and violated. It was a hideous place.
"Hinami-chan, you really don't know anything. What do you think? It's such a beautiful festival that it makes you want to vomit, right? This is Sengatake Village's horrifying traditional event, the Oni Tengu Shrine's Offering Festival."
"I can’t believe that such a bad custom has continued for so long."
"Hinami-chan and I were born because of the Offering Festival."
"Eh..."
"Hinami-chan, you realized that your father is not Sakuradani Saemon, right? Because you talked to Onii-sama at Oni Tengu Shrine."
"Wait? Ayane-chan... what do you mean...?"
"I don't know who my father is, either. Father has always monopolized the position of village chief. Until thirty-four years ago, only members of the Sakuradani family held important posts in Sengatake Village. Do you know why the Isaka family was able to win the village chief election after thirty- four years ago?"
The village chief of Sengatake Village has remained unchanged for over 30 years. The Isaka family was a wealthy family, but it cannot be said that Taisuke was more popular than the Sakuradani family. However, since there were no opposing candidates, Taisuke continued to win elections.
"Was Taisuke Isaka popular enough to win the election? That arrogant, overbearing Father...!"
"Did he offer his family to the shrine maiden at the offering festival?"
"That's right...! Thirty-five years ago, in order to win the election, Father made his new wife the village shrine maiden! After being violated by someone from the village wearing an oni tengu mask, Mother got pregnant. She gave birth. It was Sousuke Onii-sama!"
"I knew that Sousuke-san and Taisuke-san were not related by blood. He made his wife... Akari-san as a shrine maiden... Could it be that the siblings of the Isaka family..."
"The Isaka family's siblings all have different fathers. The year I was born, Mother was released from her role as a shrine maiden. Why do you think that is? It's because the eldest sister has reached a certain age. Ten years ago, my sister tried to escape the village, but she was turned into sacrifice shrine maidens."
"What about your sister... after that?"
"Adashino-san, who was a stationed police officer, helped her escape from the village. Thanks to Adashino-san, Onii-sama and I were also able to escape from this disgusting village."
There was a man who stood up to the horrendous practices that had taken place in Sengatake Village. It was Musashi Adashino, a police officer stationed there. The siblings of the Isaka family told him about the actual state of the Offering Festival, asking for his help.
"...Adashino-san was killed because of that."
"He committed suicide with a gun two years ago... I don't think Adashino-san committed suicide either... But Sousuke-san told me that Taisuke-san is not the kind of person who can kill people."
"Really? Adashino-san was working to accuse him of Sengatake Village’s customs, along with the injustices in the village chief election that had been going on for over thirty years. It’s more than enough reason for Father to kill Adashino-san."
"I understand that the women of the Isaka family... Akari and Ayane-chan's older sister was suffering terribly. Yes, I have finally arrived at the truth. Mother also became a shrine maiden… right?"
"It was sixteen years ago that Yukiko-san became a village shrine maiden. It was late January of 1960. Sousuke Onii-sama captured Yukiko-san and they went to Oni Tengu Shrine."
"1960... I was born on November 8th, so the timing of the pregnancy is also perfect. As a child of the Offering Festival, I have no blood relation to Sakuradani Saemon."
"The details of what happened 16 years ago are written in the letter that Onii-sama left behind. That's why I won't tell you anything about it. Onii-sama promised Sakuradani Saemon that while he was alive, he would never reveal to you that he was your father..."
"Sousuke-san was hiding something from me at Oni Tengu Shrine. Thanks to Ayane-chan, I was able to connect the dots."
Although Hinami said this in front of Ayane, she was not convinced.
According to the birth certificate found in the detached building, Hinami's blood type is A. Sousuke is blood type B, and Yukiko is blood type O, so they cannot have a blood type A child.
(Listening to Sousuke-san's attitude and Ayane-chan's behavior, Mother, who became a village shrine maiden 16 years ago, had a relationship with Sousuke-san. But my father is not Sousuke-san.)
The reason Saemon entrusted Sousuke with his will was because he thought that Sousuke was Hinami's father. In other words, even Saemon misunderstood.
(What does this mean...?)
Only Yukiko knows the answer. Who is the man with whom her mother gave birth sixteen years ago? A type A or type AB man. She had never wished more than now that her mother would wake up.
"Until I give you this letter, it's a request from my brother. From here on out, it will be my request. Will you listen?"
"Ayane-chan's request...? What should I do?"
"The offering festival is still going on in Sengatake Village. It restarted after Adashino-san was killed two years ago. On July 7, 1974, Adashino-san was shot and killed. At the end of the year, a dedication ceremony was held and someone became a sacrifice shrine maiden."
"Is that so!? The Isaka family has offered a shrine maiden again...?"
"No. She's not from the Isaka family. Father is participating in the Oni-Eating Festival as an Oni Tengu. It's a rule that members of the shrine maiden family cannot become Oni Tengu."
"How do you know that Taisuke-san participated in the Oni Eating Festival? Two years ago, Ayane-chan wouldn’t have been in Sengatake Village, right?"
"The twin brothers entrusted to the Isaka family. Tatsuya and Yusuke are the children that Father made the sacrifice shrine maiden bear. Father declared that Yusuke would inherit the headship of the Isaka family. Because those twins are Father's biological children."
"But... the sacrifice shrine maiden is assaulted by multiple men, right? We shouldn't know if they're Taisuke-san's child or not...?"
"At the end of 1974, there was a heavy snowfall. And that was after a huge fire broke out at the Oni Tengu Shrine and many people died. There were rumors that Father had killed Adashino-san. But he was probably the only one who made it to the altar of the sacrifice shrine maiden. I have testimonies."
"Whose testimony?"
"It's Kazuma and Yamato. Hinami-chan knows these two better than me. When Hinami-chan attended the branch school in Sengatake Village, these scumbag guys were your classmates. Don't you remember them?
"I know Kazuma and Yamato. We weren't that close, but... why did those two come out?"
Before transferring to Tokyo’s Girls’ Academy, Hinami had gone to a branch school in Sengatake Village. Kazuma and Yamato were classmates. But she didn’t have a very good impression of them.
So-called children with bad behavior. They were bad boys who broke the school windows and bullied the weak. Hinami also has bad memories of being teased several times.
"You can imagine what those delinquent erotic monkeys would do if they learned about the customs of Sengatake Village, right?"
"Well, Kazuma and Yamato's personalities were bad. If I had to decide whether they would do it or not, I think they would do it."
They must have happily participated in the customs of Sengatake Village. She didn't want to remember it, but there was a time when Hinami's skirt was lifted up by Kazuma and Yamato, and her panties were pulled down.
At the time, it was dismissed as a prank, but it seems that those two people have not changed.
"When they learned that they could violate the sacrifice shrine maiden, they went into the mine with great enthusiasm. However, Father threatened them with a hunting rifle, and they ran back home in a hurry.''
"Did Taisuke-san want to monopolize the sacrifice shrine maiden by threatening others with a hunting rifle?"
"Maybe so. The Isaka family has been providing shrine maidens for over 30 years. Because of that, Father couldn't become an Oni Tengu. Maybe it was a way to get rid of that worry."
In the first place, it was unusual to hold an Offering Festival during the year-end and New Year holidays. Taisuke hasn't come home for about a month. During that time, he was violating the sacrifice shrine maiden in the depths of the mine shaft.
"Who was the woman who was chosen as the sacrifice shrine maiden and gave birth to Taisuke-san’s child?"
"Well, I don't know. Two years ago, I left Sengatake Village... I stayed with Onii-sama at the end of the year. We came back in July of last year. I only found out after I returned to the village."
"That's right. She's not from the Isaka family, right?"
"Father chose the sacrifice shrine maiden. Kazuma and Yamato have only heard the woman's moans. That's why the men in the village don't know either. However, around the end of October, Tatsuya and Yusuke... they were left in the care of the Isaka family. Father was very happy."
The sacrifice shrine maiden gave birth. Taisuke is 70 years old this year. He was sixty-eight years old two years ago.
It becomes depressing to think about the feelings of a girl who was violated and forced to become pregnant by an old village chief. She probably didn't feel like raising the child she gave birth to after being violated.
"The last time the offering festival was held was two years ago...?"
"No, it's not. It was held in September last year. The employee who works at Sakuradani-kan applied to be the village shrine maiden. Actually, the proprietress, Yukiko-san, forced her to become a shrine maiden."
"Eh... an employee at Sakuradani-kan? Who is that?"
"Sayuri. Yamato was the one who caught the village shrine maiden hiding in the mountains. Onii-sama interfered with the festival and fought to keep no one from catching her, but on the last day, he caught her. She could have run away just a little longer... Sayuri really was unlucky."
"That's... Sayuri-san..."
Sayuri is captured by Yamato and taken to an air raid shelter that is no longer in use. Since the worship hall of Oni Tengu Shrine had been destroyed by fire, an air raid shelter built during the war was used as a substitute. For a month, Yamato violated Sayuri, but luckily she did not become pregnant.
"The men of Sengatake Village think that Onii-sama trampled on the Oni Tengu's Offering Festival. That's why they make such a fuss that Onii-sama's death is a curse. That's stupid. There's no curse."
(Last September, Sayuri became a village shrine maiden and was violated... That's why she was so unfriendly towards me. Of course. Due to the Sakuradani family's circumstances, Sayuri... If Yamato violated her, she would hate him... Huh? September of last year? That was also the time when Mother became pregnant.)
Yukiko had been violated since Saemon was burned to death two years ago, but she became pregnant around September a year ago.
(Is this a coincidence? Was it Sayuri who became the village shrine maiden? Maybe, it was Mother... There is a possibility...)
According to Reiko, the village doctor, Yukiko is currently five to six months pregnant. In other words, Yukiko was impregnated by s*xual intercourse that took place between September and October of last year.
"――Hey, Hinami-chan."
"Eh?"
"What should we do this year? We have to decide."
"What do you mean... decide...?"
"That's why we decide. The identity of the priest in charge of the Offering Festival is a secret. But it was probably someone from the Isaka family and the Sakuradani family anyway. Probably Father. But he disappeared."
"Do you mean to choose the next shrine maiden?"
"The representative of the Sakuradani family is Hinami-chan. I am the representative of the Isaka family."
"What you ask me is..."
"That's right. I don't want to be violated by the men in the village. I absolutely don't want it. So, we'll choose this year's shrine maiden from the Sakuradani family's employees...!"
"......!"
"Hinami-chan is Onii-sama's daughter, right? I'm younger than you, but I'm your aunt. Let's work together as women who are related by blood."
"No...! We can't continue this bad custom!! We have to stop it!"
"Yes, that's right. We should stop it someday. But if we don't do it this year, the men will choose the sacrifice shrine maiden on their own. The one who will be sacrificed will be either me or Hinami-chan... or maybe both."
"But... this is... we need the police to help...!"
"It's no use relying on the police. Have you forgotten that Onii-sama's death was dismissed as a suicide? Even the young police officer stationed here will end up getting killed like Adashino-san. I too want to break this tradition! But now we have no choice but to continue!"
"So, choosing a substitute...! I can't do it!"
"Yes. If you don't like it that much, I'll choose it for you. Let's choose Ran! I think that's why they hired a runaway girl who didn't go to school in the first place. Isn't it?"
"No, Ran! She's still young. She's much smaller than us...!"
"Then, do you want to do the same as last year and choose Sayuri? I'm sure Yukiko-san will do the same. Ran is still young. I feel sorry for her, so let's choose Sayuri... That's right. Or will Hinami-chan volunteer to be the village shrine maiden?"
Ayane grabbed Hinami's sleeve. She had a fierce look on her face.
The Isaka family had only one son, Sousuke, and many of his siblings were women. However, everyone except Ayane had fled outside the village.
If Ayane hadn't been a junior high school student, she would have run away from the Isaka family, or rather from Sengatake Village. Her older brother Sousuke, whom she relied on, was killed, and Ayane was in a predicament.
"Hey, please! This isn't the time to be stubborn! If we continue like this, we'll be eaten by the demons of Sengatake Village! Let's make the employee at Sakuradani-kan a shrine maiden...! To save us... That's the only way...!"
The men of Sengatake Village rumored that Sousuke's suicide and Taisuke's disappearance were due to the curse of the Oni Tengu. A sacrifice is required to quell the curse.
The beautiful daughters of the Sakuradani and Isaka families were the perfect tribute to the Oni Tengu.
