Days with the Ogre Girl

In the remote mountain village of Akitsu Village, deep in the mountains... there, an incident occurred.

"Hey! Priest! Is Kensho here?!"

The villagers came stomping into the main shrine hall with heavy footsteps.

Shijo Akinao, the head priest of this shrine, faced the old man gasping for breath before him—the village chief.

After listening to what he had to say, it seemed that "something" had been caught in a trap, and they wanted to consult about how to deal with it.

Though he found it troublesome, Akinao couldn't go against the village chief who had been looking after him since he was stationed here, so he headed to the scene.

"Horns on its head... you say?"

"That's right. In any case, we can't just leave this demon as it is. Akinao, you need to do something about it."

Thus, Akinao was ordered to take charge of managing the captured creature.

"Do you... know about demon purification rituals?"

"Rituals... you mean?"

Apparently, his grandfather, who had been the head priest two generations ago, had been researching this.

If it could be accomplished, various benefits would be obtained. F

rom the next day, he began researching the literature and documents his grandfather had left behind in order to make the ritual successful.

Will he be able to complete the ritual...?
