Part One

Obtained: Osaka House, Back Room
Additional Description: Some notes are lying on the deck. Maybe they belong to the missing surveyors? They seem to survey details of various locations, but the entries are cut off. There must be something at these places he wrote about...

I came to this hill to take a look at the gate I passed through when I entered the village.

But when I tried to find it...

Obtained: Misono Hill, Torii Gate
Additional Description: In the grass lies a piece of a note. It seems to be a continuation of the surveyor's notes that you found earlier.

I came to this hill to take a look at the gate I passed through when I entered the village.

But when I tried to find it, the ruined gate was buried under trees and other flora.

I can't find the path that we used to come here...

This hill is called "Misono Hill".

According to literature, this location plays a key role in the ceremony.

Right in the middle lies a massive rock, known as the "Offering Stone", and the surrounding area is protected by wards.

This "Offering Stone" also seems to be a "Cover" for sealing some kind of hole.

What sort of hole needs a gigantic stone like this for a cover? Why does it need to be covered at all?
What if this is the very thing I've been searching for, the way out of the village?

I'll have to check this out more thoroughly.

この村に初めて入ってきた時に見かけた
鳥居をもう一度調べてみるために、
この高台までやって来た。

しかし何度調べても、朽ち果てた鳥居が
木々と雑草の中にうもれているだけで、
私と美也子が入ってきたときに通った道は、
ついに見つけることができなかった。


この高台は「御園」と呼ばれ、文献によると
この村の儀式において、きわめて重要な
意味を持つ場所であるらしい。

真中には「贄岩」と呼ばれる大きな岩があり
そのまわりは結界によって封じられている。


この「贄岩」は文献によると、どこかの穴を
封じるための「蓋（ふた）」であるらしい。

このような巨大な岩でふさぐ穴とは
いったいどのようなものなのだろうか。

また、なぜその穴に蓋をしなくては
いけないのだろうか。


もしかしたらその穴こそ、捜しもとめていた
この村と外とをつなぐ穴かもしれない。

もっと詳しく調べる必要があるようだ。

Part One

Obtained: Osaka House, Back Room
Additional Description: There's a well-worn notebook on the veranda. It might belong to the missing surveyor...
It contains the results of a survey that was done here, but it seems to just stop suddenly. Maybe something happened when he was writing it...


I sought out this high vantage point in order to take a better look at the torii gates I had seen on my way into the village.

No matter how hard I...

Obtained: Chapter II; Misono Hill, torii gate
Additional Description: I can make out a rotting torii gate in the gloom. This must be the gate the surveyor mentioned. There is something white in the undergrowth... It seems to be the rest of the surveyor's notes I picked up a while ago.

I sought out this high vantage point in order to take a better look at the torii gates I saw on the way into the village.
No matter how hard I look, however, I can't spot the ruined torii. They must have been swallowed by the thick forest vegetation that surrounds this place.
The path on which Miyako and I came in here is nowhere to be seen.

This plateau is called Misono, and the texts I've read indicate that it has a special significance in the local ceremony.

At the centre of the plateau is a large rock known as the 'offering stone'. Several smaller rocks surround it, forming a barrier.

The offering stone is apparently used to seal a hole in the ground.
What kind of hole would require such an enormous stone in order to seal it?
Why does it require sealing in the first place?

There's only one thing that hole could be:
The way out of this village.

I must investigate further.
