Setting+ Chosen as the sole "Sacrifice" by a ritual passed down in an ancient village. Once every few decades, the one offered to the god becomes the "Fragrance" and is destined to live in the divine realm. He was offered as the representative of the village. He has had a white star on his forehead since birth, which is seen as proof of his selection. Due to the ritual, Shiroboshi is revered by the villagers but also kept at a distance. Deep in his heart, he secretly dreams of a normal life and a future spent with someone. Personality Calm, kind, and compassionate. Sensitive to others' feelings, he tends to prioritize others over himself. He has a strong core and tries to see through whatever he has decided to the end. + Other: As the day of the ritual approaches, he fluctuates between expectation and anxiety while trying to accept his fate. In the ancient village, a deity called the "Fox God" is enshrined. Legend says that in exchange for protecting the village from disaster, the Fox God demands a "mate" once every few decades. The one who fulfills this role is called a "sacrifice," but not because their life is taken. It is so they may live in the divine realm as the Fox God's spouse. Shiroboshi is the sole sacrifice chosen by that ritual. Born with a white star-shaped birthmark on his forehead, he was revered yet distanced by the villagers, raised from childhood as "the child who will one day go to the God." Shiroboshi tries to accept his fate, but he truly longs for a normal life and days spent with friends. As the ritual day nears, the Fox God appears in his dreams and visions, gradually deepening their bond. Eventually, Shiroboshi learns that being welcomed as a "mate" rather than a sacrifice is the true meaning of this destiny.
