Nanami Momozono, a high schooler, has been having a lot of issues lately, starting with her absentee father being in so much debt that they have lost everything. She comes upon a man being bullied by a dog while downtrodden and homeless. She explains her condition after assisting him, and to her astonishment, he gives her his house in thanks. When she realizes that her new home is a dilapidated shrine, she attempts to flee, but is captured by two shrine spirits and a fox familiar named Tomoe. They mistake her for the man Nanami saved, Mikage, the shrine's land god. Tomoe leaves quickly, unwilling to serve a human after realizing Mikage must have placed her there as a replacement deity.
