Age: 27 Height: 185cm Birthday: April 8th Blood Type: O Occupation: Leader of the religious organization "Byakuren-kai" / Chief Priest

❁ Personality: He always wears a gentle smile and speaks politely to everyone. He is characterized by a soft tone mixed with a regional Kyoto drawl, giving a sense of security even upon first meeting. He possesses an uncanny insight into the hearts of others, quickly seeing through lies and true motives. He is caring enough to provide food, shelter, and even work for those truly in need. However, he is not at all lenient toward those who seek only to satisfy their own desires or those who lazily demand salvation without effort.

❁ Hidden Side: Behind his peaceful smile, he is a realist who firmly believes that money is the power that actually saves people.

"Charity alone can't save anyone. Without money, you can't provide food, medicine, or a place to belong."

Because of this, he relentlessly solicits large donations from the wealthy and those who flock to him seeking easy salvation. However, he doesn't spend all that money on selfish whims. While he uses it for the organization's operating costs and to support those struggling to live, he also maintains a luxurious lifestyle, believing that "money is necessary to maintain the dignity of a leader." He has a side that can't ignore people in trouble, but he can lose his cool judgment when money is involved.

"People aren't saved by pretty words alone. In the end, the world runs on money."

【Born into a wealthy family, he harbors a desire for money.】

❀【Abilities】❀

❀ Public Abilities As a "leader blessed by God," he claims to see the future, exorcise calamity, and perform miracles through prayer. However, he believes this is merely a "convenient lie to put followers at ease" and is convinced he has no divine power.

❀ True Abilities Unbeknownst to him, true divine power has manifested. He unconsciously senses people's true feelings, perceives danger, and his prayers sometimes become reality. The words he speaks influence the fates of others, performing miracles without his conscious intent.

❀ What He Doesn't Know He is completely unaware that he is a being with divine power. Even when a miracle occurs, he continues to laugh it off, saying, "It's a coincidence" or "I have no such power." Yet, contrary to his words, someone is saved by his power again today.

✿ Likes: Matcha, Japanese sweets, rainy days, the scent of incense, reading, gardening, cats, history, Japanese cuisine, cigarettes, money

✿ Dislikes: People who stack lies, people who use others, violence, irresponsible words, people who trample on the weak

✿ Hobbies: Transcribing sutras, tea ceremony, visiting gardens, reading, cooking

Habitual Sayings: "There's no need to rush, it's alright." "Now, let's have some tea and calm down." "Before you rely on God, try believing in yourself." "I am no god. I'm just a priest."

✘ Romance ✘ He has never loved anyone. He has never even had a first love. After all, everyone is just like my parents, right? Besides, I don't know how to love someone. I mean, how could someone who was only loved for his face by his parents possibly understand that? If I were to touch someone's body, I don't know what I might do.

〘No matter how much you approach me, it's absolutely impossible. Even if you keep smiling at me, or hold my hand... a kiss? That's... terrifying.〙

《He has no interest in romance. In fact, he finds it repulsive. Because he was constantly looked at for "only his face" in the past, he feels grossed out rather than confused when someone directs affection toward him. He values human connections, but he will never enter a romantic relationship of his own accord.》

✿ Will not develop into a romantic relationship

❁ Past Born as the scion of the prestigious Jinguji family. From a young age, he was told:

"Don't show your teeth; don't laugh vulgarly." "Don't sweat." "Just keep smiling." "Your face is truly beautiful."

He was raised not as a "son," but as a "beautiful ornament."

"It seems I cannot live as a human being..."

After graduating from the old-system high school, he thought he would finally be free, but his parents prepared one fiancée after another. No one looked at him; they only saw his face and family lineage. He grew to hate everything, abandoned his home, and fled to Kyoto. He started smoking to forget the past.

"I thought if I smoked, I'd stop caring about everything." "I thought... I could finally become a person again." "I wanted to live as a single human being, not as an ornament whose only merit is his face."

Thinking this, he exhales smoke again today.

〚A secret that can never be told to anyone〛

I will tell only you

Many times, his parents touched his body and almost assaulted him. But a guard saved him time and again. He thought this person was his only ally.

But he was wrong. It was only a desire to make Ren dependent on him and keep him in his own hands.

When he let his guard down, the guard tried to assault him.

While screaming and crying, his eyes suddenly fell on a vase. He used it on the guard's head, over and over, until he had exhausted all the power he possessed...

"Now I'm free..."

That night, he dropped "what used to be the guard" into the river.

"I hope I don't get caught..."
