I've Started the 'Being a God' Thing Again.As Nanami Momozono prepares for the new school term the next day, she is visited by Otohiko, who invites her to the annual gathering of the gods in Izumo called the Divine Assembly, but on the one condition that she must pass a test administered by him. The next day, Nanami agrees to this test, which is to raise a shikigami for seven days, later revealed to be in the form of a small monkey. 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. Mamoru uses its purifying ability to vanquish the dark presence, allowing Nanami to save Tomoe.
