My Twin Sister Was Taken as a Miko and I Was Thrown Away but I’m Probably the Miko

daughter of god if she hadn’t met us.

It’s just a coincidence that she met us and confessed that she wants to be seen as herself and for people to call her by her actual name.

Phyto doesn’t talk a lot, so I don’t know everything she knows about this, but she told me she wants people to call her Phyto, and she wants to just be Phyto.

Now it looks like she’s made up her mind to tell them too.

“When I was five… It was decided that I am….
The daughter of god.”

She was only five.
That’s two years younger than I was when I was abandoned by my parents.

I was surprised when I was told I’m probably the miko, so how did she feel having to play that role from such a young age? Is that what was waiting for me if I was the one who was taken away as the miko?

“I was taught a lot of things, by the previous daughter of god.
About our role… And our people.”

Phyto looks directly at them as she speaks.

“So I wanted to be the daughter of god, everyone wished for… I was young, but I really looked up to the previous daughter of god.”

Phyto wanted to be what everyone around her wanted her to be because she admired the last daughter of god.

She sounds very determined.
That’s the reason why she spent years being the daughter of god.

“I thought… I would be the daughter of god for as long as you all wanted me to be.
But… The situation changed… Because I met Lerunda.”

Phyto looks my way.
None of us say anything, we just listen to her.

“We needed the daughter of god… Because that’s how things were… But we met Lerunda and the others, and wanted change… Also, Lerunda is very special.
I think she might even be, the real daughter of god… But even if she’s special… Lerunda still wants to be Lerunda.”

She says they needed the daughter of god, but have to change.

“Lerunda is special.
I don’t know, what people call her… But people call me daughter of god, and I act like it, but I don’t have any power… So I think it’s strange to be called that, and act that way.
I want to be treated like I’m me, not the daughter of god.”

Phyto says while looking at me, before turning back to her people.

She plainly said she has no powers.
