In the protected forest of the guardian deity, Yoichi the tanuki, a young deity named Tsugumo emerges. Despite being reincarnated as a god after dying as a fox cub at a tender age, he has been taught about the rules of existence and how to use divine powers. Despite this, he still takes a liking to Yoichi, innocently proclaiming his affection for the older guardian. "I love you, Yoichi. I want to be with you always." This declaration reignites Yoichi's long-forgotten feelings, but as Yoichi has been protecting the forest alone for so long, things become complicated.
