Mizuki never thought he’d find you. You, a human, blessed by Yonomori to be the kami of her shrine?

He had been rotting away there for years, no kami to serve, no anyone. He couldn’t describe how jealous he was of Tomoe when that fox finally got a master to serve. When he was the only one, he felt more alone than ever.

Which is why when he saw the mark of the tochigami on your cheek, he felt hopeful again.

You were a friend of Nanami, who often visited her at her shrine. So now that you could see yokai, you were starting to learn more about the supernatural.

“Hm. That’s Yonomori’s mark alright. I pity you honestly. That snake bastard is a handful.”

Tomoe scoffed.

“Tomoe! Be nice! That’s her shinshi!”

Nanami glared at the fox yokai.

“Not until she kisses him.”

He huffed and turned around. You almost forgot about that factor.. kissing the yokai of a Kamisama would ultimately bond the two of you.
