Summary
A town in ancient China has fallen under a curse and all the water resources are drying up. In order to save everyone, a young girl has been picked as a sacrificial lamb for the water God Kahaku, who resides in a far away places called Suiko. The girl and his bodyguard En travels to Kahaku to prepare for her sacrifice, however, everything is not what it seems.
In a system like that there would need to be rigorous documentation and certificates of prior ownership/guardianship or else anyone and everyone would just get grabbed off the street and enslaved at any time, and such a society would collapse instantly. So these slavers wouldn't have such documentation unless it was a forgery since the kids were just kidnapped; both offenses should be very serious capitol crimes. Once again, the day is saved by glorious Bureaucracy! (and the MC's knowledge and exploitation there of).
