Purification of the Gods S01E03

30 min 5.6 (Series)

Itsuki arrives late for an appointment at a shrine due to allowing Mikan to buy souvenirs at a festival. The request is from Shinogi Minagi, who requests a saniwa, or spirit medium to convene with Futsunushinokami, the god of the shrine, in order to revive her comatose brother, Moroha Minagi. Although Adilisia and Honami are against Itsuki taking the job, he agrees after seeing Mikan's enthusiasm for doing it. However, as the ritual is being conducted, Kagezaki, a member of the Association, arrives, and tells Astral member Manami Kuroha of Takeminakatanokami, the other god of the shrine. He tells of the incident where Shinogi and Moroha summoned Takeminakatanokami, but Moroha was forced to invoke Futsunushinokami's power to stop him, leaving him in a coma. Mikan, with emotional support from Itsuki and an arrived Honami, manages to seal Takeminakatanokami, and Moroha awakens. On the train back, Kuroha teases Honami for caring about Itsuki and showing up to save him.
