Ancient village records have been stored in the Ceremony Master's house.

Many discuss the legends, folktales or rituals of the village.

There are sure to be many records of folklore value.

The Forbidden Ritual is also called the Crimson Sacrifice Ritual.

Twins are used to help seal the gate to hell.
There are two parts.

The Visible Ceremony, which occurs periodically, and if it fails, a Hidden Ceremony is performed.

If all the ceremonies fail, the gate to hell will open, the dead will pour out, and the skies will go dark.

They call this disaster the "Repentance".

The whereabouts of Munakata's friends, the twin boys Itsuki and Mutsuki, are unknown, which is a little troubling.

If they are found, I might be able to ask them about the village.

I am fortunate that the village records are stored at the High Priest's house.

Most of these records concern the village's ancient myths and legends, and the ceremonies that have been performed here since time immemorial.

There are many items that are of great interest to a folk scholar such as myself.

The Hidden Ceremony that takes place in this village is known as the Crimson Sacrifice Festival, and involves using twin shrine maidens to seal the gateway that leads to hell.
The Crimson Sacrifice Festival has two parts: the True Ritual, which must be held regularly, and the Shadow Ritual, which is held if the True Ritual is a failure.

Should both rituals fail, a disaster known as the Repentance occurs. The dead will rise from hell, and the sky itself will be sealed shut.

Munakata says that his childhood friends Itsuki and Mutsuki have disappeared.

I must admit that my interest has been piqued by the thought of twins going missing at a time like this.

We must find them. I feel they will have much to tell us about the ceremony.
