ENJA

The guardian deity statues in this area are different in that they are engraved with Shrine Maidens.

The village children say that the statues honor the gods of the village.

Also, a book in the house links the statues to something called the "Crimson Sacrifice".

Maybe the Forbidden Ritual is related to this "Crimson Sacrifice"...

村に点在する道祖神らしき石仏には、他の
地域に見られる男女神のものとは違い、
双子の巫女らしき仏が刻まれている。

村の子供たちによると、この「双子巫女様」
は村の神として祀（まつ）られているらしい。

この屋敷に残る古文書を調べたところ、
双子巫女のことを「紅贄（あかにえ）」と
記している部分がある。


「秘祭」とはこの「紅贄」にまつわるもの
なのだろうか。
