As the land god of the Mikage Shrine, Nanami is invited to the annual gathering of the gods in Izumo, but on the one condition that she must pass a test administered by Otohiko.

Now that Nanami is set to go to Izumo to attend the Divine Assembly, she must decide who goes with her - Tomoe or Mizuki. And she must also face the consequences of attending a divine event as a mortal being.

Okuninushi, the god hosting the Divine Assembly, asks Nanami to go handle a situation happening on the border between the worlds of the living and the dead.

Izanami imprisons Kirihito and refuses to allow Nanami to return to the surface with him. Nanami must decide how much she believes in her own powers and what she is willing to risk to save him.

When Tomoe reverted to being a wild fox to save Nanami, he undid his contract as her familiar. And now, he takes this opportunity to reconsider whether he wants to go back to Nanami or not.

On her way home, Nanami runs into Himemiko and they spend some quality girl time together. Later, she meets a little tengu on a mission.

Kurama returns to Mount Kurama with Nanami and Tomoe to take Botanmaru home and see if he can help is ailing father.

Kurama's father is sick, but there is no easy way to get in to see him, so the gang must devise a way to get past Jiro's defenses.

The ruse is simple. Nanami confers her godly powers to Kurama, so he can pretend to be a god, someone Jiro cannot turn away from the gates. While Kurama and Tomoe distract Jiro, Nanami sneaks in to deliver the cure.

The search for the Sojobo's soul leads to an unexpected place and an unexpected confession.

Kirihito, aka Akura-oh, has not given up on getting his body back from the Netherworld. But in the meantime, Nanami and her familiars go to see the Year God, to receive a talisman for the new year.

Nanami is taught by her mother to become an independent woman, since her father is a deadbeat and her mother is about to die. After viewing her childhood memories, Tomoe takes young Nanami away from Mizuki. After spending time with young Nanami while strolling around in the town, young Nanami asked Tomoe if he loves her, to which he confirms. Tomoe then proposes a marriage with her, to which she agrees. Just then, Mizuki carries Nanami out of the gate, and Tomoe is upset that Nanami is unable to remember him in her fantasy. Furthermore, Nanami does not know much about her mother, especially since all of the photos of her mother were burned in a house fire long ago. When Nanami, Tomoe and Mizuki make it to the Year God Shrine, they are reluctant to find out that it is blocked by the Lord Year God's sheep, of which its wool takes up a lot of room. Nanami calms the sheep down so that the Lord Year God can trim its wool.
