Having discovered in Noragami: Stray God, Vol. 12 that Koto, a student at her school is really Yato's father, the god referred by the others as the crafter, Hiyori is now in danger. The crafter wishes Yato would return to do his bidding and cull the human population, as he used to when he was a child. He therefore plans an attack on Hiyori by unleashing his Ayakashis on the hospital where her father works. Pandemonium breaks loose, patients and staff attack each others, and Hiyori finds herself in the middle of this chaos.
Yato, who has vowed to protect her, comes to her aid, but he is confronted by his father, and finds himself put into an impossible dilemma. Either he kills his father, or he surrenders completely to his wishes. Every second delays his assistance to Hiyori, however. Unable to defeat his father, Yato finds himself in a stalemate broken by Bishamon's arrival, who forces the crafter to retreat.
Meanwhile, Hiyori has seen too much violence. For too long she has been skirting the line between the living world and the world of spirits, but this attack has pushed her too far inside. Yato has another decision to make. Free Hiyori by removing the threat that links them together, ensuring that she will forget him, or kill her and transform her into his shinki. Though Yato knows that Hiyori would be happy, he also knows that she has much life left in front of her and that she must continue to live....
