Whilst recovering in hospital, Hiyori hears strange voices before having another encounter with Yato, who formally introduces himself as a god. Some time later, Yato finds Milord but is attacked by the phantom. After Hiyori helps Yato escape, she learns that the incident from before has resulted in her becoming a half-phantom lying between the worlds of the living and the dead, causing her spirit, which has a cat's tail, to sometimes leave her body.

As Yato finds himself unable to beat Rabo and Furuhime, the two take their leave, with Furuhime stating she will return Hiyori's memory if Yato can defeat Rabo.

Hiyori's memories are awakened by his scent, and she returns to consciousness.

She determines him to be about a year younger than her, having most likely died in his second year of middle school. Yato tells them not to worry because soon he will hit it big now that he has a new good luck charm until Hiyori points out it is a plastic rip off and he reveals he bought a good luck charm worth 20000 yen causing both Hiyori and Yukine to beat him. Later, as the two wander around town, they hide from Bishamon. Yukine wonders how long they will have to run from her, but Yato doesn't answer.

Kazuma tells her to leave her since she has too many Shinki already, but Bishamon says she can't because she already failed to save her once. She rescues the Shinki, uses Akiha the knife to remove the impurities in her body, and takes her to the palace where she names her Mineha.

Tenjin gives a job to Yato involving killing some ayakashi and after they are done he rushes to see Suzuha. Yukine becomes friends with Bishamon's Shinki, Suzuha since Suzuha is unaware Yato is Bishamon's enemy. He helps Suzuha plant some flowers and tend to an old cherry blossom sakura tree. While taking care of the plants and trees, Yukine talks to Suzuha about his God Yato is annoying and always takes his money, prompting Suzuha to happily laugh, saying the two have a great relationship, much to Yukine's annoyance and confusion. Suzuha the says he has not spoken to his God for decades and then proceeds to talk about his friend Tomoko. Tomoko was a young girl that often visited the area every summer to see her grandmother and every year they would bump into each other. While Suzuha would remember her, she would always forget him. One summer she promised to see the cherry blossoms on the cherry blossom tree bloom, but she never came again. He continued taking care of the tree hoping that even if she couldn't remember him she would remember the tree. This causes Yukine to confide in Yato that he wonders if hiyori will forget them. Later, while Suzuha is alone, Kuguha comes and tells him how he is so pitiful because he is abandoned both by tomoko and Bishamon and sicks ayakashi on him, killing him in the process. The next day, Yukine goes on a picnic with Hiyori to introduce her to Suzuha. They wait but Suzuha never comes and they notice Yato hiding in the bushes spying on them, prompting Hiyori to throw him in the river. Bishamon realizes Suzuha has died and asks his friends if they know what has happened to them, but they smile and say they haven't so they don't blight her, despite not knowing where he is and being worried themselves. She then sees Tsuguha's hair cut short and asked what happened but she says nothing, when it was Aiha who did it out of spite of Tsuguha usurping her position as Bishamon's battle clothing. Kazuma notices Bishamon's medicine intake has increased along with being blighted and arranges a secret meeting to see who has blighted her but everyone including Kuguha comes clean. Later Bishamon awakes and shows she is clean, relieving everyone. Kuguha meets Yato at the middle of the night and attacks him with ayakashi, but even unarmored the ayakashi are no match for Yato who proceeds to beat Kuguha.

3 "False Bond"
"Itsuwari no Kizuna" (イツワリノ絆) 
October 16, 2015
It is revealed Aiha is the one who blighted Bishamon previously and she was given medicine by Kuguha to hide it. She says it came back and that it comes from her jealousy of Tsuguha who now acts as Bishamon's foremost clothing when Aiha used to hold that position and how she just wants to be loved by Bishamon. Kuguha offers to help heal her blight so no one finds out. Later, Yato spies on Hiyori to ensure her safety, but she tells him not to since she will visit everyday and promises not to forget him, causing him to ask how much of what she says is true. Kazuma speaks to Kuguha who reveals Bishamonen is not feeling well because Suzuha died, causing Kazuma to doubt his ability as her exemplar since he didn't take notice of Suzuha' death. Tsuguha later tells Bishamon he saw Suzuha and Yukine together, shocking her. Yato suggests Yukine stop going to see Suzuha all together. Yukine refuses and distracts Yato with a snack while Yukine goes to meet his friend. Instead, he sees Kazuma and some flowers and questions him on what has happened. As Kauma leaves, Yukine grabs onto him, inadvertently going to Bishamon's palace. There Bishamon sees Kazuma conversing with Yukine. Yukine begs Bishamon to tell him what happened to Suzuha and Kazuma reveals he was killed by ayakashi. Yukine then calls Bishamon a failure as a God since she couldn't protect her own Shinki and living as her Shinki must be hell. This causes her children Shinki to cry, blighting her as a result. She proceeds to ask Kazuma if what she heard was true about Kazuma helping Yato with his ablution, saving him. She shoots Yukine and Kazuma draws a borderline against her, protecting Yukine. In a fit of rage, Bishamon exiles him. While Kuguha watches from above, he is delighted things are going according to plan, even if Kazuma wasn't revoked. Everyone is depressed about Kazuma's exile and while Tsuguha tries to cheer them up saying he only navigated, it is revealed he was their backbone as he controlled their output, what got killed and not killed, and directed their movements and without him their powers are uncontrollable and unpredictable. Kazuma finds a safe haven with Kofuku and Daikoku. They talk about how Suzuha was murdered and Yato implies someone from the outside murdered him. He walks Hiyori home and the two are ambushed by Aiha using a stick imbued with dark magic, but Yato easily overpowers her. While he is distracted, Kuguha kidnaps Hiyori. Kazuma tries to intervene but fails as Kuguha cannot be bound as he is revealed to be a stray and he easily knocks Kazuma out. Yato returns only to find Hiyori's unconscious body.

Kofuku tells Daikoku to bet on Yato while she bets on Bishamon so she loses since Kofuku is bad luck and if she bets on Bishamon she will lose.

Yato, annoyed with his words, chops off his hand, prompting Kuguha to back off. Angered by the loss of his hand, he sends an ayakashi to attack Yato, all the while taunting Yato as useless and a worthless God of Calamity.

Kazuma thinks back to the past and how he has made the mistake twice.

Bishamon then enters the Underworld via vent by Kofuku and finds Yato trapped by Izanami. Bishamon fights Izanami in order to save Yato and free him.

Hiyori is told by Ebisu that in order for her to get Yato back from the Underworld, she must call his name which is known as a "Soul Call".

Hiyori starts to cry when she remembers how happy Yato was when she gave him her handmade shrine and continues to scream Yato's name to no avil. She remembers the character she used to engrave the shrine which she is then able to figure out Yato's true name which is Yaboku.
