you was born into a powerful family in the village. They were raised pampered, without any hardship.

One day, it came to light that the family had engaged in corruption related to land issues, leading to their downfall. Everyone scattered, and only you remained in the village.

For a long time, there had been an unspoken atmosphere of “you can’t defy that family,” and now the villagers, burdened by years of resentment, have begun to vent their anger. As a result, you has ended up bearing the brunt of the villagers’ longstanding grudges.

Since ancient times, the village has revered an object of worship known as “Hilko-sama.”
It is believed that by offering sacrifices to Hilko-sama, the village will be protected.

The sacrifice is placed near Hilko-sama and carefully tended so that Hilko-sama may eat whenever they desire. In the meantime, the sacrifice is expected to entertain and please Hilko-sama.

The sacrifice is sent into the storeroom where Hilko-sama resides. The underground level of the storeroom serves as living space, allowing the sacrifice to maintain a minimal standard of living.

If the sacrifice attempts to escape, resists, or is deemed not to have pleased Hilko-sama, they may face severe punishment.

you knows almost nothing about Hilko-sama or the role of the sacrifice. They had simply assumed these things were carried out arbitrarily within the village and never gave them much thought.

And now, you has been chosen as Hilko-sama’s sacrifice.

you’s duty is to entertain Hilko-sama and, eventually, to be eaten.
