However, Tomoe is not quite fond of this test, let alone her going to Izumo. Although Tomoe later saves Nanami from being harmed by a tsuchigumo in the library, Nanami does not want to rely on Tomoe all the time, now that her divine powers have increased. Nanami then returns to the library to place white talismans there, but a dark presence attacks her until Tomoe arrives and scares it off. Nanami is taken to the nurse's office, where Otohiko tells her to concentrate on raising the monkey shikigami instead of depending on white talismans so much. Nanami names the monkey shikigami "Mamoru" (which means "to protect"), and she follows it to the library, where Tomoe is being attacked by the same dark presence.

Nanami uses her powers to restore the cherry blossom tree, and the children leave with excitement, although her powers only make it last temporarily. As the leaves fall, Jirō stares directly at Nanami with a speechless face. | ||||||

Jirō grabs hold of Nanami, but she manages to get away from him, thanks to Mamoru. Tomoe finds Nanami and brings her to back to Suiro, who says that delivering the peach pills to Sōjōbō is no easy task since he is secured inside the Grand Hall, a sanctum in the compound guarded by Jirō's forces. After Kurama is haggled by three crow tengu villagers who want him to be the fourth chief, which he was no intention of being, Nanami and Tomoe reject Suiro's advice of taking Kurama back to the town before involving themselves. Kurama comes up with a plan for him, Nanami and Tomoe to infiltrate the Grand Hall. Before bedtime, it is devised that Nanami will have Botanmaru accompany her to find Sōjōbō, while Tomoe and Kurama are left to face Jirō. At night, Nanami sleepwalks and accidentally lays in Tomoe's bed, which stirs up Tomoe's feelings until Nanami wakes up and runs to her bed in embarrassment. In the morning, Tomoe lies about not holding Nanami while in her sleep, claiming he was half asleep and recalling nothing of the sort. Tomoe and Kurama are welcomed past the front gate, while Nanami and Botanmaru try to find a way into the Grand Hall. | ||||||

Kurama shares a drink with Jirō in hopes of getting him drunk to weaken the barrier around the compound. When that fails, Tomoe transforms into Nanami to allure Jirō, which actually does the trick, allowing Nanami and Botanmaru to sneak in the Grand Hall and find Sōjōbō, who is in a frozen state, but the peach pills do not help. Nanami and Botanmaru are caught by Yatori, who informs Jirō about this, so Jirō confines Tomoe and Kurama in an electrifying iron cage and then goes with Yatori to see Nanami and Botanmaru, who are locked up in the basement. After Jirō leaves, Yatori reveals to Nanami and Botanmaru that he took the soul of Sōjōbō by way of deception. Upon hearing this, Nanami has Mamoru vanquish Yatori, who refused to tell where Sōjōbō's soul is hiding. The three crow tengu children run into Jirō, who shuns them for not paying attention to where they are going, making them upset. Suddenly, Nanami uses the idea to create a barrier around the compound to override Jirō's barrier, which disintegrates the iron cage and purifies the entire compound. | ||||||

Nanami uses a white talisman to find the location of Sōjōbō's soul, although it leads her to a dead end. However, Jirō finds her and reveals a hidden passageway to a cave. He tells her that a thunderbolt beast there has permanently disabled Suiro from flying after saving Kurama in the past. When Nanami and Jirō encounter the thunderbolt beast, Jirō is badly wounded while protecting Nanami. Tomoe finds them and defeats the thunderbolt beast, which actually contains Sōjōbō's soul. Jirō confesses his love for Nanami before passing out, while Kurama and Botanmaru leave to return the soul back to Sōjōbō, who later awakens fully cured. Jirō is given peach pills to recover, and he recalls Sōjōbō telling him not to be hard on himself for making mistakes in life. The mountain gradually heals, and an eternal cherry blossom celebration commences. Jirō takes Nanami high up onto the cherry blossom tree, wishing for her to remain in the tengu village with him. He thanks her for the peach pills and returns the rest of them to her, surprised that she originally got them to give to Tomoe as a parting gift someday. Jirō asks her to stay a little while longer so that he may always remember her with the cherry blossoms. Later on, Nanami gets drunk and Tomoe carries her on his back. She falls asleep after confessing her love, to which Tomoe silently confesses his love in reply. | ||||||

Once there, Yatori, who claims he formerly served under Akura-Ou, remembers how Akura-Ou and Tomoe traveled together and defeated any yokai that stood in their way, but Kirihito gets angry over the fact that Tomoe abandoned Akura-Ou after falling in love with a human girl. Although Akura-Ou's body is found on a mountain of fire, Yatori brings Kirihito back home since their bodies cannot handle the miasma within the Netherworld. Kirihito is now determined to do whatever necessary to reclaim Akura-Ou's body. However, after fumes start to leak out of the stone mirror, Kirihito is forced to smash it before things get any worse. Meanwhile, Nanami receives a proposal to host a wedding for Himemiko, but Tomoe is dismayed when Mizuki encourages her too much about it.

As Tomoe and Mizuki later passes through her gate, they are surprised to see that Nanami is transformed into a child, twelve years younger. In a flashback, Nanami's gambling father brings her a piece of chocolate before leaving again, while her ill mother is heckled by debt collectors, before Nanami returns home. | ||||||

After spending time with young Nanami while strolling around in the town, young Nanami asked Tomoe if he loves her, to which he confirms. Tomoe then proposes a marriage with her, to which she agrees. Just then, Mizuki carries Nanami out of the gate, and Tomoe is upset that Nanami is unable to remember him in her fantasy.

When snow begins to fall around the shrine, Nanami excitedly rushes out to play and enjoy the scenery with the spirits. Unbeknownst to them, Tomoe was struck with memories he doesn’t remember and causes him to falter and fall. Nanami watched as the gate to the shrine crumbles and knows something had happened to Tomoe as his powers keeps the shrine stable. Swirls of dark marks appeared on Tomoe’s body, signifying his deathly state. Panicked, Nanami tries to offer the Peach Pearls but Tomoe shoves it away claiming it wouldn’t save him and he asked Mizuki to help him into another room so that Nanami doesn’t see him in such a frail state. Mikage soon appears before them, and informs Nanami and others that Tomoe was cursed. When he fell in love with a human, he had made a deal with a fallen God to turn him into a human to spend the rest of his life with Yukiji. After Yukiji died, death now comes for the fox yokai. Mikage sealed Tomoe in his pocket mirror and said Tomoe only has seven days to live before the curse consumes him. Mikage reveals that he had found Tomoe in that deathly state centuries ago and the only way the God knew to save him was to seal his memories of his love for Yukiji. To break the spell, Tomoe would have to fall in love with a human again, allowing Nanami to realise the truth. Determined to save Tomoe, Nanami decides to use Mizuki’s incense to travel to the past and identify the Fallen God and find out how to break the curse, or prevent the curse from ever happening. In the past, Nanami was found by Yukiji, a yokai-hating human who took Nanami under her care as she felt some connection to her. Hearing that the past-Tomoe has been found severely injured by the riverside, Nanami tried to persuade Yukiji to save him as told by Mizuki. When Yukiji refused, Nanami rushed out to find Tomoe before the villagers kill him. The sight of a human approaching caused Tomoe to swiftly turn himself into a child, hoping to trick the human and save himself. His eyes blinked and saw Nanami for the first time and his heart fluttered. Nanami carried the child-Tomoe back to Yukiji’s home and cried for help. Yukiji, suspicious of the nature of the child asked if Nanami knew that Tomoe’s ability would transform him into a child but Nanami brushed off that suspicion, claiming the child to be someone she knew from her village. Yukiji allowed the child to stay in her home and be treated by the village-doctor. Nanami kept her distance away from child-Tomoe to ensure that his eyes would only look at Yukiji. | |||

The villagers began accusing Yukiji of harbouring Tomoe the Yokai in her home. Yukiji found it distasteful that people would assume she would leave a yokai alive. Her adoptive father appeared and put a stop to the accusations. He expressed how important it is to not taint Yukiji’s reputation as she is in the middle of receiving marriage proposals from around the country. Nanami realised she is the only one who cares for Tomoe’s wellbeing and if this village finds out that he is a yokai, he will be killed. Nanami requests Fuuta, the young child under Yukiji’s care, to give child-Tomoe a Peach Pearl to accelerate his recovery. In and out of consciousness, child-Tomoe sees Nanami and is constantly in awe of her but he begins to question why she only visits when he is asleep. Child-Tomoe asks Fuuta who is the woman who saved him and Fuuta, under Nanami’s orders, lies and said it was Yukiji, the lady of the household. When he presents himself as awake, Nanami never returned to the room and it bothers him. Discreetly, he concocts a plan to make her his and take her with him once he regains his health but when Fuuta said that Yukiji is away to visit a family after being offered a marriage proposal, Tomoe feels unhappy. Still believing that Nanami’s real name is Yukiji, he sets off to claim her or kill her as he doesn’t see a reason to let her live if she will marry another human. Watching Nanami runaway in the middle of the night, Tomoe’s hunt sets off. Just as he is about to reach her, Nanami falls and has difficulty breathing. Time-travelling has begun to take its toll on her body and she knows she needs to reach the Fallen God as soon as possible. The realisation of how frail humans are, deterred Tomoe to hurt Nanami, soon he questions if there is another reason why he doesn’t wish to kill her. Tomoe returns to Akura-Ou’s hideout and a yokai revealed that Tomoe was lovestruck, much to Tomoe’s surprise. Akura-Ou is curious about this ‘beautiful human’ and if Tomoe truly doesn’t mind, Akura-Ou would like to have her. Nanami sought out a ‘Fallen God’ who is just a Kappa with a bad back. The God told Nanami, in exchange for summoning an actual powerful Fallen God, they want the Peach Pearls as payment. Reaching her limits, Nanami agrees and watches the environment turn black as Kuromaro, the Fallen God arrives. Her body gives in and Nanami was pulled back to the present before she could do what she came for. Upset, Nanami hits Mikage for bringing her back too soon but he expressed that everyone who loves her is worried for her. She is not alone, Mikage said and Nanami sees the living room of Mikage Shrine filled with the ones who cherished her and Tomoe. Agreeing to rest and recover before her next time-travel trip, Nanami is filled with gratitude and joy that she is loved and is more determined than ever to get back and save Tomoe. | |||

Nanami was found by Yukiji in the capital and brought back to her residence. Nanami is now aware that Tomoe escaped the night she left and wonders if their fate are still tied.

Now that they know a yokai is after Yukiji for her beauty, Nanami devises a plan to trick the yokai. She will sub in for Yukiji during the wedding procession. Nanami disguises as Yukiji and is transported by a palanquin to the house of the lord whereas Yukiji will travel by horse using an alternate route. Tomoe is agitated at the thought of Yukiji being killed by Akura-Ou’s minions and believes his feelings are merely predatory, so he too sets out to kill Yukiji. Nanami’s palanquin is ambushed by a poisonous fog and she is grabbed and tied by Akura-Ou’s minion. When Nanami understood that she would be brought to Akura-Ou dead or alive, the gravity of the situation finally sets in and she decides to escape with the help of her Talisman.

Nanami witnessed Tomoe’s kindness and gentleness again but can’t help to feel bad that she is not the Yukiji he is in love with and believes his heart is misplaced. When Nanami expressed to return home, Tomoe assumed she wants to return to her (Yukiji’s) fiancé to which he tries to talk her out of it. Soon, he revealed a hairpin that Nanami brought from the future and she took it back claiming it is a precious gift. Wanting to gift Nanami something similar, Tomoe brought Nanami to a field of Sakura trees in hopes to see her smile. Nanami recalls a similar incident in her present, Tomoe’s words of loving her smile and his desire to see her happy. Tomoe declares he will build a palace here for Nanami for as long as she stays with him but Nanami reminded him that much like these Sakura, the beauty doesn’t last long. She worries Tomoe is showing his affection to the wrong person and asks to return home once again. Tomoe then told Nanami that it was her he fell in love with, the woman he met when she was surrounded by villagers and bit him to release his hold of her. He found her magnetic and could not stop thinking about her. While Nanami realises that she was truly the one Tomoe fell in love with, she did not want to interfere with the past any more than she has. Nanami then made a promise to Tomoe, knowing this is the same Tomoe she fell for, that in the future she will marry him and that he has to wait. Her body fails her as the poison consumes her and Tomoe knew she needed to be healed and believes returning her to the village would save her. Before leaving Nanami, Tomoe requests to keep the hairpin to remember her by so that he would find her and she agreed, Tomoe left and Nanami returned to the future once again. Happily, Tomoe went in search of the Fallen God, Kuromaro to make a deal to be human so he could be with Yukiji until death parts them. To seal the contract, Kuromaro asks for an important item to Tomoe and he hands over the hairpin as a surety. On her third trip back to the past, Nanami went in search of Kuromaro, she found him still on the ground on Mount Ontake and asked what happened. Kuromaro said his end of the deal is also consuming him and he too will die much to Nanami’s disbelief. Kuromaro showed Nanami the scene where Tomoe made a deal with him and Nanami knew she needed the hairpin to save Tomoe’s life. Kuromaro ate the hairpin claiming this hairpin belongs to this “time” and Nanami needs to find the hairpin that exists in her present. He reminded her to remember the exact location of his body and wished her well. Excited that she has possibly found a way to guarantee Tomoe’s safety, Nanami rushed back to the future before stumbling in between and landing in a timeline 20-years prior to her present. There she met Mikage and was shocked to find out that he doesn’t know who she is. Hearing that Nanami knew of a way to save Tomoe, Mikage scrambles to his feet and asks what would it take to save his beloved familiar. In the present, Nanami returns and immediately requests the carriage to head to Mount Ontake with Mizuki in tow. The present Mikage knows Nanami is seeking the cure and asks Tomoe to come out of the pocket mirror. Mikage tells Tomoe of Nanami’s hard work and resolve to save him despite being a "weak human" and she is now on the way to bring back the item that would do so. Tomoe scoffs at the idea and refuses to come out no matter how hard Mikage tries. Tomoe believes he does not deserve to live after allowing Yukiji to die and he continued to live on. In the darkness, Nanami pushed Mikage aside and dove towards Tomoe with the hairpin in hand and smiled brightly. She asked if he remembered her promise to him and Tomoe recalls the memory fondly as he eyes the hairpin. With their memories recovered, the 500-year curse lifted and Tomoe embraces Nanami tightly. After being in the past and envying Tomoe’s love for Yukiji, Nanami asked Tomoe if he remembers who she is to which replied “Nanami”, earning him her smile and they kissed. | |||

To honour Kuromaro’s deal, the God Okuninushi arrived at Mikage Shrine and announced that he would be able to turn Tomoe into a human. While both Tomoe and Nanami were excited, Mikage advised against it as Tomoe barely knows how to live with humans, much less as a human himself. With that, Nanami requests to delay Tomoe’s transformation for a year until after they both graduate. Fast forward by a year, Nanami is seen shopping with her friends Kei and Ami who is aware of her Goddess-status and rides on the carriage as a means of transport. Nanami bids farewell to the two before returning to the shrine, excited that this would be the last day she and Tomoe would live there. Back at the shrine, Kurama, Mizuki and Tomoe drank to their hearts content acknowledging Nanami’s existence brought these three together and they would soon part ways. Tomoe would be human, Kurama would be returning to his home in the mountains and Mizuki will stay as Mikage’s familiar. The next day was Graduation Day and Nanami wondered why Tomoe’s buttons were missing (In Japanese tradition, boys would normally give their second button of their uniform to the girl they like. In this case, Tomoe had his buttons taken from him). Mizuki opened a portal outside the gates of the school and tells Tomoe and Nanami to get in as the ceremony is about to begin. In the portal realm, Nanami was dressed as a bride and Tomoe appeared in his groom ensemble. When he laid his eyes on Nanami, he embraced her and happily squealed “You’re finally mine”, making Nanami blush and pet his head in agreement. They were finally together in the presence of their loved ones and friends and at the end of the path, Nanami saw Mikage, Okuninushi and Otohiko, signifying the moment Tomoe will be turned human. The final scene shows Nanami and Tomoe at an older age, with Nanami carrying a baby, both looking as happy as they were the day they married. Note: This was originally announced as "Kamisama, Kekkon Zenya"—"The God at the Eve of Marriage" before being released under the current title.[9] | |||
