ENJA

The miasma from the is becoming more potent.

There are no remaining records that I can find indicating that it has ever grown this strong in times past.

Perhaps the mounting number of deaths from our poor harvests in recent years accounts for this. Or, perhaps, the time of our reckoning - our repentance - for the Tachibanas' failure in the ritual draws near. Whatever the case, I must hurry. Offerings from other villages seeking the ritual have been bequeathed unto us as well.

Half our mourners have been consumed by the miasma and driven mad, plunging themselves into the .

New mourners must therefore be fashioned.

For this task, I shall turn to the sinners.

Should things persist, the will spill out in a matter of years. I have little choice but to put forth my own daughters for the Crimson Sacrifice and perform the ritual. By extension, Yae and Sae's purification must be accelerated.

It is all for the sake of the village.

の瘴気が強くなってきている。

残る記録を見ても、過去、これほどにの瘴気が
強くなったという記述は見当たらない。

近年の不作による死者の増加が影響しているの
か。


立花による儀式が失敗したことの償いを迫られて
いるのか。他の村からも、儀式をもとめる供物が
納められている。急がねばならぬ。

忌人の半数が瘴気に吞まれ、狂い、へと飛び
降りた。


新たに忌人を作らなければならぬ。
罪人をこれにあてる。

このままでは数年のうちにがあふれる。
娘達を紅贄として、儀式を行うしかない。
八重と紗重の禊を急がなければ。

村のためだ。
