Having escaped Bishamon’s wrath, Yato and Yukiné take a job in a cornerstore, but Yukiné’s thievery and all around acting out keeps inflicting blight wounds on Yato. Still, the stray god is hoping to secure worship and pursues his goal of getting a shrine built. As his health declines, Hiyori worries more and more. Searching for Yato, she instead runs into Bishamon, but Ojô, her Shinki, renders the girl invisible in the goddess’ eyes. He tells her that he is protecting Yato because he owes him a debt.

Eventually Hiyori finds Yato back at her school, where he hopes to help one of the students with a bullying problem. But Yukiné’s desire to return to the world of the living is too much, and Yato finally succumbs to the blight. Now Hiyori is the only one who can assemble a team of Shinkis to save him. Problem is, who will care enough to make the dangerous attempt to help Yato?

The story continues in Noragami, Vol. 4.
