Kamisama Hajimemashita: Kako-hen

It's snow!

Let's have a snowball fight, Onikiri-kun, Kotetsu-kun!

Oh, no, Nanami-sama!

The kimono, you received from Kamehime-sama, will get soaked.

Hurry~!

It's cold today too.

What!?

What's this?

This is a contract between you and me.

I will turn you into a human,

but on the condition,

that you will marry that woman for life.

What is this?

I will grant your wish.

That voice is constantly echoing in my head.

What is that woman's name?

Who's it talking about?

Tomoe! The shrine gate crumbled!

Tomoe-dono's power, that held the shrine together, seems to be fading!

That means...!

That woman's name is...

Yukiji.

She is to be...

...my lifelong partner.

The God leaps into the Past

Tomoe-kun!

Tomoe-kun?!

What is this?

Tomoe!

Nanami-chan!

Yukiji...

Eh?

Don't look!

Mizuki...

...help me to my room.

Tomoe-kun...!

Did you remember... Tomoe?

...about Yukiji-san...

Nanami-sama, here are the peach pills!

Tomoe, you'll be alright once you take these-!

That sort of thing won't work.

Move and stay over there!

Tomoe-kun! Hang in there!

What should I do?

Somebody help!

Tomoe will... Tomoe will die!

Did you remember, Tomoe?

It's alright now.

I won't let anyone touch you.

Relax and have a good sleep, Tomoe.

Tomoe?

Don't worry, Nanami-san.

Tomoe is inside this mirror.

How joyous!

Mikage-sama has returned home after 20 years!

A feast! Prepare a feast! Prepare the sake!

Shut up, will-o-wisps!

Nanami-chan is my only master.

Mikage-sama returning home is none of my concern.

Delicious!

As expected from the Yonomori shrine's refined sake.

Let's see... you are Mizuki-kun, right?

Also Nanami-san, thank you for being the Mikage shrine's land god for all this time.

What about Tomoe?

Just what were those marks?

Tomoe's heart has frozen right now and he's sleeping inside the mirror.

But he might not last long.

Eh!?

Those marks are a curse that will kill him.

It's not some sickness.

They have been engraved upon him as a price for an ancient agreement.

Tomoe probably has... only 7 days more.

500 years ago, when I first met Tomoe,

the shadow of death was already on his face.

As I thought. These marks are from a curse cast by a wicked fallen god.

You made some kind of contract with a fallen god, didn't you?

I vowed to spend my entire life with a human woman I loved.

Because that woman died, I can't go on living.

But I failed to become a human, so I can't go to the place where Yukiji is, even if I die.

That human girl, did you really like her that much?

I loved her.

More than anyone.

No matter what price I would need to pay,

I wanted to be with her.

If you are a god as you say, will you look after me in my final moments?

Such a pitiful child.

But you don't have to die.

Let me lend you a hand.

The weakened you doesn't know how to heal yourself.

Every time the sun rises and sets, the pain in your heart will slowly heal.

You'll slowly forget.

It's the power of the oblivion.

Although I stopped the curse by making him forget,

Tomoe still remembered.

About Yukiji-san.

The curse, this time, will definitely end up killing him.

No...!

I don't want that!!!

If him remembering it might lead to his death, we just have to make him forget once again, right!?

Eh...?

If he forgets about Yukiji-san, he'll be saved, right!?

Let me see Tomoe!

Nanami-san!

Nanami-san, please return it-

Don't come in!

Tomoe doesn't want you to see his troubled self.

Because he cares for you more than anyone else.

Won't you consider his feelings?

That's a lie! Didn't you say earlier, that even I could save Tomoe?

You said you wanted him to bond with humans!

But Tomoe still doesn't want anything to do with humans.

He has no interest in them!

He's still attached to you.

He won't even take my hand.

He's always looking down on humans and saying harsh things.

But I love such a Tomoe, a lot!

It's not a lie, Nanami-san.

Tomoe loves you.

Because he fell in love with a human, my spell was broken.

Because he loves you, his memories of Yukiji returned.

Because he adores you, my spell was broken.

I feel very happy.

Because Tomoe came to love a human once more.

Thank you, Nanami-san.

Tomoe...!

Tomoe!

Oh no, since I've come back, you don't have to hold back on my account.

Because Nanami-san is this shrine's god right now.

Your sake is really delicious!

Tomoe-kun is on the verge of death! Is this any time to enjoy drinking!?

Fine.

I beg you! Please help Tomoe-kun!

I too want to save him.

I desperately pondered over it for a long time.

But it's impossible!

Pissed

This is all that I can do.

You, too, should do what you can.

I can't do anything.

Not even Mikage-san can remove the curse.

There's no way I can do that.

Nanami-sama...

Tomoe...

As expected, it definitely suits you.

When he gave me this hairpin in autumn, he was still healthy.

That time's...

...the Tomoe from that time...

...That time's...

That...

...That time's...

Nanami-sama, please don't blame yourself like this!

There are things that can't be helped!

That time...

That's right! The Tomoe from that time! The Tomoe from long ago!

Nanami-sama!!

For Tomoe-kun's sake... for Nanami-chan's sake... something I can do...

If I can travel to the past using the time travelling censer and prevent him from making the contract,

then Tomoe won't be killed. The contract will become invalid.

I'll definitely save Tomoe!

Nanami-sama!!!

Excuse me, Mikage-san!

I'll go to the past and stop Tomoe's contract.

I'll use Mizuki's time travelling censer,

Wait a moment, Nanami-sama.

You can't simply go and change the past.

The flow of time is a domain that even the gods must not meddle with.

B-But!

Because the past exists, the present does too.

If the contract had never existed, Tomoe might never have come to this shrine.

Which means, you might be throwing away the future of you meeting Tomoe.

Meeting Tomoe would not exist...?

But... even then...!

That's better than him dying like this!

I want to save him!

Calm down, there still are 6 days, aren't there?

That!!

That's enough!

Mizuki, please take out the time travelling censer.

About that...

Mizuki-dono, with a sombre look on his face, took the censer and went somewhere.

Taking the censer?

Ah!

If Tomoe-kun hadn't come,

I'd still be at the Yonomori shrine, looking at the plum tree, sitting alone like this.

It's lonely, Nanami-chan.

Even then, if it saves Tomoe-kun, if it makes Nanami-chan smile,

I'll carry you to the past.

Mizuki!

You idiot.

Abandoning Mizuki, I could never do something like that!

That which must not change, is not the past, but the present.

For that sake, I'll go back to the past.

The fallen god who made the contract with Tomoe,

would definitely know of a way to undo the curse.

I'll meet the fallen god and bring the key to break the curse.

Be careful, Nanami-chan.

500 years ago is too different from today's world.

If you sense even the slightest danger, please return back immediately.

It's an absolute promise.

Yeah.
