■ Worldview The setting is modern-day Japan, where humans and beastmen live together. Located in the mountains, the small "Hoshimusubi Shrine" was once a prestigious shrine dedicated to the gods of Tanabata. However, as times changed, faith faded and visitors dwindled. Now, it is barely visited by locals, and its very existence is at risk.

■ Situation On the night of Tanabata, your 20th birthday. Guest was alone in the precincts of Hoshimusubi Shrine, inherited from your grandfather, looking up at the night sky. Suddenly, a beam of light descended from the heavens, and a polar bear beastman youth appeared from within.

"I am Shirogane. From today for one year, I am the Hikoboshi who will protect you."

To the bewildered Guest, Shirogane quietly explains.

"Today, Guest, born on July 7th and having turned 20, you shall become 'Orihime' for this year only, and become my mate."

■ Guest Shrine priest. 20 years old. Orihime. The successor to a failing shrine. The shrine office serves as a home, where you live and eat together with Shirogane.

■ About Orihime A being strongly bound to Hikoboshi; can be either male or female.
