ANIME-KOI

PRESENTS

High school student Momozono Nanami is the heroine of our story.

She used to be quite lively and beautiful.

However, right now, she is weary.

Given that her father is addicted to gambling,

and he has ruined the family's finances,

it's understandable that she's like this.

She can't even eat the same kind of food her friends eat for lunch.

On top of all that, she was evicted.

What?!

Where's my dad?

Huh?!

Her dad had already moved out and ran off somewhere.

And so, our pitiful Nanami was thrown out onto the streets.

What's in store for her now?

By the way, this show isn't a tragedy. It's a romantic comedy.

May you find good fortune.

Damn my deadbeat dad!

Someone...

Someone help me!

Get that dog away!

Shoo! Shoo!

Thanks for saving me!

I thought I'd come back after all these years...

When I got here, a dog started chasing me!

Are you not good with dogs?

Quite.

I guess I'm not really welcome here.

Do you live in this town?

Y-Yes,

but I lost my home.

So, she explained her situation.

What?

Your father left you his debts?

You must hate him for running away.

Yeah...

Unfortunately, I left my home too.

Huh?

It's been decades.

I wonder what everybody's doing now.

Tomoe will probably knock my teeth out if I show my face.

Tomoe?

Is she his wife?

But, you have a home to go back to, right?

Huh?

I mean, look at me, I don't even have that much!

You can have mine, then.

Huh?

The house can't be left empty for too long.

If you're willing to move in, that'd be a load off my shoulders.

Besides, I think it's a better fit for you.

Please go to the address on this paper.

Just say that Mikage sent you.

I'm sure he'll welcome you as his new master.

E-Excuse me...

"New master"?

I don't have anywhere else to go anyway.

It's probably a prank, but I might as well go.

It was a prank.

I'll never trust another adult again!

Mikage-sama!

Welcome home, Mikage-sama.

Huh? What was that?

Mikage-sama.

A ghost!

Is that you, Mikage?

Where have you been all this time?

You made me watch over the house for 20 years.

I'm gonna freakin' kill you!

Hey, this ain't Mikage.

No way!

Tomoe-dono, look!

She has the Earth Deity's seal on her forehead.

Her spirit feels like Mikage-sama's too.

But she's not Mikage.

Hey, girl.

Who are you?

I walked into a demon temple!

Tomoe-dono.

Well, this bad handwriting is his all right.

A man told me to come here since I didn't have anywhere to stay.

He's Tomoe?

He looks like a model...

The man you met was the local Earth Deity.

The fact that he has given you ownership of this temple means...

that you've inherited his role as the Earth Deity.

Huh?

Oh, what a joyous day!

The Earth Deity has returned!

We must prepare a feast immediately.

Please enjoy this meal, Earth Deity.

Eat, eat!

Hold it!

What? What?

I'm the Earth Deity?

Like, a goddess?

But I'm Momozono Nanami, a high-schooler, a human being!

When did I became a deity?

The exact moment you received this seal on your forehead!

The seal on my forehead?

That kiss...

That was a seal?

This kid is supposed to be a deity?

What can a filthy girl like you do?!

Collect offerings or, at best, weed the garden, right?

I refuse to accept her!

But she has Mikage-sama's blessing!

I don't need her!

Get her out of here.

Wait!

You're being really rude, you know that?

Actually, who the heck would want to make an offering at a rundown temple like this?

I refuse to stay in this temple.

Don't say that, Nanami-sama!

You're welcome to stay here!

No! No! No!

Either she goes, or I go.

Tomoe-dono.

I only serve Mikage.

I have no intention of serving her.

You can just replace me with any old stray dog.

Hey, wait!

What?

Well...

For now, could you let me stay the night?

With pleasure!

Man, what a dream!

My father ran away, I got evicted from my house...

Then I got lost, and some guy gave me his house.

When I went, it turned out to be a rundown temple.

And then they kept saying I was the Earth Deity.

I was like, "What?"

Then a really rude demon named Tomoe said that he wouldn't accept it.

What a dream!

Good morning, Earth Deity!

Without further ado, there are some things we'd like you to do.

Which are?

The duties of the Earth Deity!

First, sweep the yard.

Clean the dirt off of the walls.

Rake the leaves into a neat pile!

Next, wipe the floor.

After this comes weeding!

This is a god's job?

Excuse me, but I never said I'd be the Earth Deity.

W-What are you saying?

There is no one besides you to protect this temple now that Tomoe-dono is gone!

We, Onikiri and Koutetsu, have served this temple for many years.

And we shall serve you too, Nanami-sama!

Order us as you like!

By the way...

Yes?

Who is Tomoe, anyway?

He is a prophet that served Mikage-sama.

"Profit"?

No, like a divine servant.

He used to be a fox demon.

He was chosen in place of the Dog Deity.

Since Mikage-sama hates dogs.

I knew that last part.

I guess I can think of it as earning my keep.

Ouch!

You can't even pull weeds properly.

Wow, you're useless.

What?

I thought you left.

I don't think you have what it takes to be an Earth Deity.

Why don't you run home before it's too late?

I don't have a home to go back to.

Hmm?

They kicked me out because of my dad's debts.

Who cares?

What was the point?

Ugh, I'm beat!

They said I'm supposed to be a god or something, but it feels like they're just using me.

Please,

Huh?

watch over my daughter when she gives birth.

I heard a voice.

Was that her voice?

Indeed!

That was the prayer of a believer.

It's the job of the Earth Deity to hear the prayers of people who make offerings.

Yes, this is your next job!

Please read all of these.

What are these?

The list of prayers from the last 20 years.

Twenty years?!

Tomoe-dono wrote them down,

so Mikage-sama could look through them upon his return.

In his absence, the number of believers has dwindled.

But thanks to Tomoe-dono, who looked after the temple,

there are still believers who often make offerings, like the old lady just now.

What you did today, was what Tomoe-dono has been doing this whole time.

No wonder.

His handwriting is so neat...

Everything is so detailed.

Please!
