Hiyori and Yukine encounter Kugaha, who is impervious to Yukine's attacks since he is now a Nora. Thanks to Hiyori, Yukine is able to beat him. Bishamon and Kazuma find an injured Ebisu outside. Kofuku and Daikoku open a vent and Bishamon enters to save Yato, as Hiyori, Yukine and the others wait. Yato and Nora are captured by Izanami, but Bishamon arrives and battles her, apologizing to Yato for her grudge against him. She motivates him to fight back when she reveals that Hiyori and Yukine are waiting for him. When Kofuku is unable to reopen the vent, Ebisu says that the only other way to bring back Yato and Bishamon will require a human - Hiyori.
