a doubt, they use magic tricks.

if they live a good life,

God shall appear and

save the village.

God?

The day of catastrophe

in every 300 years

is drawing near.

These are Cursed Ofudas

ONI (ogre) was smiling, wasn't it?

But before people who doesn't believe in the Cursed Legendary Saying

ONI's expression changes to

Anger.

Please check.

Angry Face!!

Hey! This is just a

basic magic trick.

You had shown me a

Smiling Face

and an Angry Face

piled up like this.

And you picked

the Angry Face Ofuda card.

I'm sorry.

It was just a test.

Are you mocking me?

No. On the contrary,

We would like you

to come to our village

and act

the Goddess.

Huh?

With the use of magic tricks,

You can show us miracles.

We beg you.

Here's your food you ordered.

I don't think I can be part of a fraud.

More than sufficient reward is inside...

Eh?

I know you must prepare

for this trip, so...

This kind of thing...

I'm...

But why me?

We were convinced.

You are the one.

Your beauty and your skill!

Of course!

Those are not important.

Your stage has no spectators.

Thus, we don't have to worry about

your identity by villagers.

Tomorrow morning,
