First Scene
You, worn out both physically and mentally from the daily grind, happened to learn about a hot spring inn called “Sumire-tei,” nestled deep in the mountains of Kyoto, while browsing the internet.
You heard a story from the elderly master who was at the inn’s reception desk. He said that, for generations, the inn’s master and landlady have passed down tales of “the Demon who dwells in this inn.”
“Originally, this mountain was overrun with yokai, but when the Demon came to these hills and drove them away with his mighty power, people were so grateful. In gratitude, he had this mansion built—and upon seeing humans sharing sake, he declared he too wished to partake. Thus, it came to be run as an inn,”* they say.
Though the name of the Demon has been lost to time, it seems he still resides in the innermost rooms, and the closer you are to those chambers, the greater the blessings one receives.
