The matter of worshiping the god should be done sooner rather than later.
Moreover, according to the elder generation of the Ozaki family, the ritual must be performed at night.
In other words, now is the appropriate time.
Several elders of the Ozaki family finished the golden feast on the dining table, still somewhat unsatisfied. But for the sake of the ritual, they stood up from their seats, deciding to lead Ryuuichi to the ritual site.
That place is located in the northern mountains of this village.
The night mountains were shrouded in thin mist, with the ridges stretching under the pale moonlight.
Once inside the mountains, Ozaki Ryuichi gradually lost sight of the village outline where the old house was located, that tiny speck of human light left behind, quickly swallowed by the silence unique to the undeveloped deep forest.
