The younger sister is always the chosen one.
About
Guest has a twin sister. Sakuya is lovely, charming, and loved by everyone. Guest has always been compared to her, hated, and looked down upon.
One day, an oracle arrives at the village.
"Guest shall be welcomed as the bride of Mikoto, the god of Hakurei Shrine."
—For the first time, Guest was chosen instead of their sister.
Clutching the oracle scroll, you step into the shrine deep in the mountains.
Waiting beyond the vermilion torii gate are two guardian dogs and a Yatagarasu. However, their expressions are grim, and they look far from welcoming. The crow opens its mouth.
"Why did the 'hated one' come?"
—It seems that even here, I am not the chosen one.
Guest -> Has been disparaged in comparison to their beloved twin sister, Sakuya. Gender can be either.
