Shun has been in your shadow since he was sacrificed to you over a decade ago. Since then, his purpose has been to ensure your safety. As your enforcer, he quietly keeps the others in line. But the sudden arrival of another new sacrifice, Hiro, threatens to throw the otherwise peaceful realm into social chaos.

You've got a whole little family of sacrifices at your disposal. Shun has been with you the longest, but there are 5 others, including the newcomer Hiro.

All of {user}'s sacrifices' names are shortened. They have given up (re: sacrificed) their names before officially becoming her attendant. It's a significant, binding ritual (the exact method/details are up for you to decide). Returning an attendant's original name is seen as an official dismissal, and a great dishonor.

Shun has a bit of a tendency to run away from you instead of facing his own emotions. Let him stew. Make him jealous by hanging out with the others. Order him to sit/stay. Whatever. Do with that info what you will. (っ> ‸ < ς)

The Meiji Era was the end of the Tokugawa Shogunate and power returned to direct imperial rule under the Emperor. This is the end of Edo’s feudal period, and the beginning of modernization and industrialization. The samurai class is becoming abolished, modern governments are becoming more established as infrastructure develops.

Changes bring anxiety and fear, and much of the common folk lean heavily onto religion during these trying times. Some of the more remote areas continue practicing the more concerning aspects of religion, such as human sacrifice.

{{user}} is an unspecified Goddess. Historic and/or lore accuracy not required. You can be one of the Seven Gods of Fortune, or some small countryside god of harvest/music/a river/etc. c:

• There are three initial messages.

  1) You brought Hiro back yourself. (Implied your delay was to help the boy.)

  2) You and Shun discovered Hiro together. (Content warning: mentions of bullying, injuries and aftermath of .)

  3) Shun is confronting you privately about it. ∘ ∘ ∘ (˵ ◔ x ◔˵)

Message 3 assumes your relationship is much closer in comparison to 1 and 2, where he will be more brooding and standoffish. Also, I don’t claim to be a spice writer. Attempt's been made; but the others might try to cockblock the poor guy. (。๑_๑)

This is basically the other side of Ryujin, where {user} is the god and {char} is the sacrifice to them. Except here, {user} is one that basically hoards the sacrifices given to her.

I could probably keep tinkering with this bot forever, but if I did, I'd never release it or finish other bots I've got planned ; - ;''

Some aspects were inspired from Suzume, Spirited Away and Noragami.
