The first chapter of Mountain of Gods. Three men meet at a resort on "Mount H", where they will be staying overnight. Azumi loves hiking, Tenno is a photographer, and Ishida is an experienced mountain climber. Azumi mentions the rumors of supernatural events on the mountain. At this point, the resort manager arrives and shares a story that took place some time ago. A woman who regularly stayed at the resort had come to visit. She planned to take a short hike up the mountain, but she didn't return. Her body was later found at the bottom of a steep drop into one of the valleys. It should have been impossible to reach this place even if one wandered many meters from the hiking trail. The authorities assumed her death to be suicide, but neither the manager nor the woman's family believed she would do this. Eventually, the case was closed. The men all agree that they can't see how anyone could fall down into the valley. Ishida realizes that today he visited the spot the woman should have fallen from, and it caused a memory to come back to him.
