How long I've been held captive here, I cannot begin to guess.
However, I find myself reminded of the mountain villages of ages past, when visitors unlucky enough to pass through would be made living sacrifices in ritualistic ceremonies.
When the head priest and his assemblage caught me, they called me an "outsider," and declared I would be made into a kusabi. That can only mean one thing: I'm to be sacrificed in the Shadow Ritual that the twins spoke of earlier.
I committed a taboo in trying to reach that which isn't meant to be seen. Those who commit such a sin are destined to meet the same fate.
The key that the girls gave me must open the side exit out of this compound.
Yet, according to the map they gave me, the key I need to escape this prison sits hidden in a cave beneath the Osaka house. In fact, it might very well be the cellar I previously investigated, which occupies part of the Deep Path.

この場所に幽閉されてから、どれくらい経つのだ
ろう。
古（いにしえ）の山村では通りかかった客人を生
贄として祭を行う風習があった。
宮司たちは、私を捕えるときに「マレビト」、「楔
となる」などと言っていたが、やはり双子の少女
が言っていた「陰祭」の人柱とされるのだろう。
禁忌を犯し、あの場所へと向かおうとした私の運
命は決まっている。
彼女たちから受け取った鍵はこの屋敷の脇戸を
出るためのものでしかない。
地図によれば、牢を出る鍵は逢坂家の地下にある
洞窟に隠されていると書かれている。
以前調べた、深道の一部を利用した貯蔵庫のこ
とではないだろうか。
