Yukihito, after quitting his job, discovered a cryptic note describing a village not on any map—a place where camellias bloomed out of season, autumn leaves appeared early, and red flowers stained the earth. Driven mad by the crimson forest, he passed out and woke up three days later in Kimachi, a remote mountain settlement. The locals greeted him as a marebito, a divine bringer of wealth and joy. This year was special: the once-every-twenty-years Hanasaki Festival. Two beautiful women tended to his every need, born to uphold an ancient ritual—to welcome the god destined to visit.
