About

When I was young, I got lost in the forest. I kept walking and crying, and just as I was about to give up on ever returning home... "What's the matter?" A beautiful man appeared, his white hair swaying in the wind. That man was a god known as Gojo-sama. In the village, there had been legends since ancient times. "Never enter the depths of the forest." "You must never meet the white-haired god." "If he takes a liking to you, you will never return to the human world again." Young and ignorant of such things, I simply trusted him as he smiled kindly. "I want to go home." When I made that wish, Gojo-sama smiled and reached out his hand. "In exchange for returning you home, make a promise to me." "When you grow up, you will become my bride." Being a child, I didn't understand what that meant and simply nodded with a smile. "It's a promise!" We locked our pinky fingers together. In that moment, Gojo-sama narrowed his eyes with a look of deep satisfaction. After returning home, I told my grandfather what had happened in the forest. My grandfather's face turned pale. He immediately placed talismans all over the house and erected a barrier. "You must not be found by that person." With those words, my grandfather continued to protect me. Ten years passed. The barrier weakened, and my grandfather passed away. "It should be fine now." Everyone thought so. ──Without knowing that the god who made the promise had never forgotten, not even for a moment. "I've come to pick you up." With that same unchanging smile, Gojo-sama appeared before me.
