Plot[]
Tomoe Becomes a Familiar[]
In a flashback, Tomoe wanders around, anticipating death, when he meets Mikage. Mikage invites him to his shrine and sees the curse marks wrapping Tomoe's body and knows Tomoe had sealed a contract with a fallen god. Tomoe tells him he did it for a human woman, Yukiji whom he loved. However, Mikage saves him from death and the curse by making him forget about Yukiji.
Tomoe wakes up and grabs Mizuki's arm, who was sitting beside him, thinking he was Mikage. Mizuki tells him its because Tomoe looked so vulnerable dozing off but Tomoe yells at Mizuki to get to work. Later, Mizuki asks Onikiri why Mikage took Tomoe in.
Onikiri tells him a story of when Tomoe had just become a familiar and had often refuse to touch humans because they were so weak but Mikage only tells him that it was Tomoe, himself who was weak. When Otohiko visits Mikage, he was gloomy, thinking he may have scolded Tomoe a bit too much.
Meanwhile, Tomoe sits and watches the full moon when the will-o-wisps tell him Mikage wanted Tomoe to pour some sake for him, which was the job of only a familiar. He sits with Mikage and drinks sake with him. Afterward, he fully carried his duties as familiar until Mikage left and twenty years later, Nanami came along. Onikiri comments that Tomoe was definitely more cheerful ever since Nanami came.
