While Kugaha plots Bishamon's downfall, Kazuma is forced to choose sides when Yukiné follows him into the enemy stronghold and Bishamon attacks.

"Now that Yato has defeated Takemikazuchi, he must protect Bishamon long enough for the thunder god to convince the Heavens to call off their punishment. Meanwhile, Yukin. strives to keep Yato and the crafter alive to ensure Yato's safety, but when Bishamon takes deadly aim at Kōto, Yukin. resorts to drastic measures." --Back cover.

"The blessed will bury. Now that Bishamon has found the legendary blessed vessel, she has one objective: to destroy the crafter once and for all. But freeing such a dangerous shinki is an act of high treason against the Heavens. Can she accomplish her goal before the execution squad comes for her?"--Back cover.

"Yato is a homeless god. He doesn't even have a shrine, not to mention worshippers! So to achieve his ambitious goals, he's set up a service to help those in need (for a small fee), hoping he'll eventually raise enough money to build himself the lavish temple of his dreams. Of course, he can't afford to be picky, so Yato accepts all kinds of jobs, from finding lost kittens to helping a student overcome bullies at school."--Provided by publisher.

"Tensions are high between Kazuma and Yukiné, but that doesn’t stop Yato from wanting to go to his very first Divine Council. This council will include a matchmaking ceremony, where the gods choose soul mates for the mortals of Japan. What could this mean for Hiyori and her future husband?"--Back cover.

"A run-in with Yato the stray god has turned Hitori Iki, an ordinary, pro-wrestling-loving middle school girl, into an existence neither human nor ayakashi! It's up to Yato's "divine intervention" to turn Hiyori back to normal, but can Hiyori rely on the spontaneous and wayward Yato to do his job properly? What's more, the almighty warrior god Bishamonten has sworn revenge on Yato?!" -- page [4] of cover.

After the near disaster with bishamon, Yato takes Yukine and retreats. Hiyori finds Yato in bad shape as his blight reaches a critical level.

While Kugaha continues to plot Bishamon's downfall, Yukiné wonders what happened to his new friend Suzuha. He sees Kazuma leaving flowers at Suzuha's cherry tree and follows him back to the heavens--right into the enemy stronghold. But when Bishamon attacks, Kazuma is forced to choose whose side he is really on.

"Ebisu and Yato finally meet the woman who has what they are looking for, Izanami. She agrees to give them the Word of Yomi if one of them will stay with her forever. Meanwhile, the Heavenly Guard have learned Ebisu's whereabouts, and they are on their way to mete out divine retribution"--Cover.
