The God Makes a Match.Himemiko of the Swamp, the Imperial Priestess who is a catfish yokai, comes to pay respect to Nanami, which Tomoe disallows. This leads Tomoe to argue with Aotake, Himemiko's familiar, prompting Nanami to intervene between the two. Nanami stops Tomoe by use of sacred word binding, which forces Tomoe to obey against his will. Himemiko requests Nanami to help her reconnect with a human boy named Kotarō Urashima, who she met ten years ago at Lake Isara near a park, and despite Tomoe saying that it is forbidden for a yokai to love a human, Nanami still promises to help Himemiko. The next day, Nanami and Tomoe go to town to look for Kotarō, finding him employed at a restaurant. Nanami later manages to persuade Kotarō to meet with Himemiko in the park. The following afternoon, Tomoe transforms Himemiko to look like a human girl and send her to the park, where Kotarō has Himemiko play with his Rubik's cube while he leaves to buy sodas. However, when Himemiko is bullied by two boys, Nanami discreetly boosts Kotarō using a white talisman she places on a tree, which gives him the courage to save Himemiko.
