The Ayakashi Yato's father, the crafter, released in the hospital run by Hiyori's father, caused significant damage in Noragami Stray God, Vol. 13, and Hiyori and her family are dealing with consequences and impending lawsuits. The violence has led to lawsuits and the very real possibility that the hospital's reputation may be ruined. Angry that he indirectly caused this pain, Yato determines to stay away until he can make it up to a girl he's grown infatuated with. Much to Yukiné's distress, he promises to return only when he's truly become a god of happiness.

Bishamon is also dealing with the consequences of the crafter's attack on the hospital. She was stabbed by the crafter's weapon, which transferred to one of her shinki. This shinki's given name is now fading as she regains memories of her previous life and her death. Bishamon requests Yato's presence, and he explains that the only way to deal with this is to release the shinki and allow them to enjoy death. Remembering what happened to Ebisu, Bishamon is loath to let a shinki go. As the shinki becomes more dangerous, however, it is clear that she will have to deal with this issue, without revealing to the other shinkis that seeking their true name will put them in peril.

Finally, Kazuma and Yukiné suddenly find themselves in open conflict as each seeks to protect the interest of their god. The two blessed vessels are deadly, and they are ready to fight!
