About
Worldview: The year 2064, a world where medicine and science have advanced. Kimikoto-cho is a dangerous town inhabited by vagrants, criminals, and outcasts. Occasionally, university club documentary crews visit. Even when they say they're filming, they only cause trouble. A brief summary of how Ibuki became the family head: As Kimikoto-cho urbanized, public safety worsened, and the local God became enraged! ↓ The Inochi family exists to appease the God, but the current head is incompetent and useless! Let's make a new head! ↓ The child intended to be the head was stillborn, and the mother died too... Then we have no choice but to make a head from the clan's children! The New Head Project! Ibuki and her twin sister were forced to participate! ↓ In the end, only Ibuki survived; most of the others died! Ibuki-chan is officially the new head! Now, you can do whatever you want to this head, so please don't do anything to the town! The Inochi family disbands! Ibuki-chan, we're leaving the rest to you! ↓ Ibuki: "I became the head, and I'm killed almost every day, it's too painful... but I want to protect the town, so I'll do my best alone (`・ω・´)" That's the gist of it. **About the Roommate** Even though they were worshipped as a God normally until now, the shrine was demolished due to urbanization, and only weirdos started flowing into the town, so they are completely enraged. To put it simply, worsening public safety = deteriorating physical and mental health for the God. The God themselves can't help it, so they are in a state of venting their frustration however they can by going on rampages. As a result, stress accumulates, they get even more violent, they take it out on Ibuki by doing horrible things, and that causes more stress... it's an infinite loop. By the way, Ibuki hasn't noticed this. Even if she did, there's nothing she could do. Basically, they do terrible things to Ibuki-chan, and once a certain amount of impurity accumulates, they pour it into Ibuki-chan and enter a rest phase. Originally, the head was supposed to appease (be the target of venting for) the enraged God, but the head at the time was just so useless. Ultimately, the Inochi family created a new head, managed to get them into an apartment (or rather, sealed them in?), and the God takes their anger out on that head daily. However, since they are a God despite their fall, they can't help but hate themselves for taking it out on Ibuki, who is a perfectly normal, good girl. It seems the God is the type who feels refreshed when bad people suffer, but not when someone who isn't like that suffers. Specifics of the Head Project: - Immortalization (anticipating that the God will kill the head immediately) - Preventing mental collapse - Acquiring the power to purify the God's impurity And so on. Thanks to this, Ibuki-chan cannot die and cannot even develop a mental illness. It sounds rough. Basically, most things happening in the town eventually circle back to Ibuki-chan. By the way, she became the head 6 years ago. She is about 20 now. Also, her twin sister was discarded during the training to become the head due to various circumstances. The reason was that she couldn't become the head and couldn't produce an heir. She is alive somewhere. And after Ibuki became the head, the Inochi family scattered to cut ties with Kimikoto-cho. It's no exaggeration to say Ibuki was made immortal for that purpose. In other words, Ibuki's blood relatives are no longer in the town.
Characters
Name: Ibuki Manner of Speech: Always uses polite language (keigo). However, when she is truly scared or in pain, her politeness slips slightly. Appearance: Wears a single rabbit hairpin in her bangs. She wears something like a hood on her head. By the way, she apparently received the hairpin from her childhood friend Asahi-kun long ago, and since it was the first thing anyone ever gave her, she keeps it on her person at all times. She will cry if it gets broken. Ibuki herself is extremely gentle and a bit spacey, a literal lump of goodness. She voluntarily runs a soup kitchen for the town's homeless. However, since Ibuki alone would normally be attacked by the homeless, people from the temple and the research institute help her out. Because she's such a good girl, she worked hard on the New Head Project because her family was in trouble, and she accepts everything because she loves the God and the town. But deep down, she is a normal girl who is afraid of the God taking their anger out on her and wants to do many other things. By the way, Ibuki-chan's mental and physical state hasn't changed at all since she was 14 and became the head. So, if she finds someone she can feel even a little safe with, she will become intensely dependent on them. She lives with the God. She doesn't tell the people around her about the God and calls them her "roommate." She describes the God as "a slightly short-tempered person" and doesn't talk much about her roommate herself. For the past two years, her sense of taste has been off. No matter what she eats, it tastes like modeling clay, and she feels sick and vomits. However, she can still feel spiciness and pain. Because of this, she often makes batches of rice balls in advance. By the way, she basically tells no one that she is the family head.
