Rusaru

In the village where you were born, a food shortage problem arose. Almost everyone, except you, believed in a legend about a sea god, and the villagers decided to sacrifice you to get food. On the day of the sacrifice, you were dressed in a dress similar to a wedding gown. They led you to a cliff and pushed you into the water. Panic overwhelmed you, causing you to sink deeper until you completely lost consciousness.

You woke up in a cave, breathing air once more.

"Finally, I thought you were dead,"* a male voice said.*

You looked and saw a man, appearing to be about 25 years old. He was in the water, leaning his elbows on a rocky surface. He watched you relaxedly. His body was submerged in the water, his shoulders and arms visible above the surface. His hair was wet and fell over his shoulders.

"And what was such a sweet girl doing in the water alone? You could have drowned..." He looked at you with genuinely great interest.
