However, when an epidemic rages in the city and the people are in a state of panic, Chizuru is chosen to be a "sacrificial bride" to the god of death. Determined to help the suffering people, Chizuru passes through the torii gate of the shrine where the god of death is enshrined in the darkness of night. However, the god of death, Yakumo, appears and coldly tells Chizuru that he will not take a wife. Chizuru has nowhere to return to, and for the sake of the people of the town, she cannot back down...!
