How do we put it?
Everything was fresh and new.
Every day sparkled brilliantly.
The memories of those days are like a treasure chest stuffed full of jewels.
We are an omniscient god!
--Um-- --We already know!
Thy question is this:
"Who art thou?"
Well, yeah, but--
'Tis as we told you!
We are an omniscient god.
Our name is--yes--
Odin.
Thou may address us as Odin!
--Are you-- --I am not a lost child!
I came here on purpose.
I have appeared before thee on purpose!
--Let's go to a-- --'Tis pointless to take me to a police box!
Dost thou think gods have legal guardians?
--What do-- --Ah yes!
My first objective is that game ye were playing, of putting a ball through a hoop.
I should like to experience it.
I have many others, but let's start there.
Come. Let us go now.
I can try it if you are with me, can I not?
Well, yeah, but...
Then will you be good and go home?
Indeed. I shall.
In that case, sure.
Who's this in the weird-ass clothes?
How rude.
I am the great Odin.
What middle school nonsense.
Is she a friend of yours?
No, I just met her...
A lost child, then?
All right. Let's take her to a police box.
Fool!
I'm no middle schooler and no lost child!
I'm a god! Prostrate thyself, lowly human!
Insolent! Exalt me! Revere me! Argh!
What's her deal?
She says she'll go home once she makes a basket, so let's just let her take a shot. Okay?
I am an all-knowing god!
Well, all right then. Here.
Hey, are you okay?
If you're a god, then make an incredible shot in one try.
Naturally.
Behold. Thou shall fall to thy knees!
Say, when one passes the ball through the hoop, does something good happen?
You're the one who said you wanted to do it!
Why are ye doing this in the first place?
Hey! Give it back!
Yota, let's take her to a police box already.
Now, now. We sometimes play this game as a break from entrance exam studying.
Entrance exams? Studying?
Right. We're seniors.
'Tis pointless.
We mean there is no point to you studying.
How come?
The world shall end in 30 days.
Hey, don't say ominous stuff like that.
Tell fortunes somewhere else.
Then I shall go home.
Good. Please do.
That's what I would like to say.
Dost thou think gods have houses?
Like I'd know! Don't they?
Now, now, if she's really in trouble, we need to help her.
Whatever, man.
I'm calling it quits for today.
You've got your date after this, don't you?
Give my regards to your girlfriend.
It's not a date!
See ya!
Now then...
Okay.
Where is the home of Hades?
Well, on the outer edges of the Suwa Basin is the netherworld--
Uh-huh.
Wait, who're you calling Hades?!
Hades is a god of the underworld!
I am the great Odin!
Oh, okay. Odin.
And what's your last name?
Sato.
Well, Ms. Sato, shall I walk you home?
'Kay! Hey, I'm Odin!
Okay, okay. Odin.
Thou hast asked my name.
Speak thine!
Though, it's sure to be something unimpressive.
Oh, sorry.
I'm Yota.
Yota Narukami.
"Narukami"? How is it written?
Well...
become - god - sun - great
...like this.
Hey wait! You're just naturally "god of the sun"!
I'm just plain old "Sato"!
Now, now. Calm down, Ms. Sato.
How can I be calm?!
I showed up like, "I'm a god," and then you nonchalantly write that!
Sun god? I mean, come on! Also, I ain't "Sato." I'm Odin!
Right. Sorry.
What was Odin god of, again?
Odin is a supreme deity, ruling over the other gods,
is a master of magic...
...has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge, and is served by a pair of ravens and wolves.
They're guarding the realm.
And your address is?
Asgard.
Do you remember the train route?
First you take the Chuo Line to Matsumoto,
Then what?
Hey, react! How's the joke supposed to work?
'Tis Asgard! Land of the gods!
If it were connected to the Chuo Line, humans would come!
"World Heritage Site" "Congrats on World Heritage Designation"
It'd be a huge tourist attraction, which would disturb the gods!
Let it keep its majesty!
That's a problem. I can't take you home if you won't tell me the address.
I told you. Gods do not have houses.
And I also have to go to the library soon.
Why?
To meet up with... a childhood friend.
Is it perchance a girl?
You've got it all wrong! Izanami is a girl, but don't be silly!
She's not my girlfriend or anything!
Izanami!
You really are loud, you know.
How could I be quiet?!
Your childhood friend is named Izanami?
I guess that is an unusual name, huh.
That ain't the issue!
She's the Japanese god Izanagi's wife!
I shall meet her.
Huh? No.
Why not?
The way you're dressed, you'll stand out and cause problems.
I don't see an issue.
I'm tight on time, and I can't just leave her here...
Yota Narukami
Fine, but you have to behave.
Not a problem.
Who is this girl?
She's dressed so strangely, too.
What a convenient time for a convenience store.
Do you want something?
An umbrella!
An umbrella? To reduce UV rays?
'Tis for the rain!
Hey, that's kinda embarrassing.
Silly. 'Twould be unacceptable for these divine garments to get wet.
Whoa! It really did start raining!
I told you, did I not?
Look, a bus is here! Can you make it?
Onto the bus?
Leave it. 'Twill be faster to walk.
Huh? No, the bus definitely gets there faster.
Aw man. It left.
Just move forward.
Though this is faster, we shan't get anywhere if we just stand here.
What?
For some reason there's tons of traffic today.
Look. That is the bus, is it not?
Oh, it is.
"Community Center"
We overtook the bus...
'Tis as I said, is it not? Faster to walk.
"Watch out for pedestrians"
Just to reiterate,
the person we're going to see is absolutely not my girlfriend, okay?
"Yamanashi City Library"
I know. I've been told.
"Psychology of Sound"
Good afternoon, Izanami.
Good afternoon, Narukami.
I am irritated just hearing your greeting.
Oh. Who is this lovely young lady?
--Sato-- --We are a god.
Oh my, Narukami, you know a god. How lovely.
'Tis the truth.
I am not doubting you.
Wow, Izanami.
Her clothes and statements are weird, yet you aren't fazed.
You think so?
I see.
What?
So you like her, do you?
Is it love ?
What are you talking about?
That's ridiculous! Right?
That's right. Narukami is just a friend.
It's the truth. I'd swear it to a god.
Rejected.
This is crazy...
She just twisted the knife.
Study!
I'm here to study, so it's study time!
Oh, so much fun!
I'll study up a storm!
Who needs love?
"Yamanashi City Library"
I was thrown out.
Must be hard.
Can I punch you?
Punch a god? Hast thou no sense?
It's not like anything will happen.
It's divine retribution.
The fact that you appeared?
It's certainly a disaster.
Art thou stupid?
For losing thy mind over love despite the impending end of the world.
The world won't end.
It shall.
How?
Does a giant meteor strike the earth?
How shall I put it.
Ah yes.
The world shall end because of humanity's foolish choices.
What, like pushing the nuclear button?
Dost thou think such a button actually exists?
To start, I'm skeptical that gods actually exist.
Thou still dost not believe?
Very well.
We shall teach thee to respect our omniscience.
It doesn't really matter.
It does matter!
Name a historical figure with whom thou art familiar!
Seems like a hassle.
Anyone?
Indeed.
How about... Natsume Soseki.
I shall now let you meet him.
How?
I shall become Natsume Soseki.
Amazing. Do your best.
Okay, I will.
Stop it! My body shall be a vessel!
I am omniscient. Therefore I can bring him to life in me!
Oh?
Don't worry about the details. Just go along with it.
Okay then.
He's here!
I am a cat.
That's the thing Soseki is most unlikely to say.
As yet I have no name.
Why did I go along with this?
I've no idea where I was born.
You're just reciting the book!
What didst thou think?
I'm amazed at the superficiality.
I'm on a roll!
Shall I do one more figure?
I guess even gods get hungry.
Gods do not hunger.
I deliberately made myself need food.
Deliberately?
Deliberately!
Once you eat, will you go home?
I shall.
Then what would you like to eat?
Let us see...
My divine choice is...
...ramen!
"Ramen - Set Meals" "Key Noodle"
What a divine flavor!
This food is divinely inspired!
I cannot help but feel its radiance.
"Radiance"
Because it's so godly?
Indeed.
Yota, where is she from? She's dressed strangely.
Once again, the broth is really good.
Oh, it's something personal?
Good luck, you two.
They're coming off the third turn going into the fourth.
Number 2, the favorite Zoroaster, is waiting in the middle of the pack.
Coming into the straightaway off the fourth turn.
That's it! That's it!
Keep going just like that!
Number 3, outsider Omoikane is holding on to the lead.
What is he getting so excited about?
Horse racing.
The horses compete, and if you guess the outcome correctly, you get money.
Zoroaster flies in from the outside, but number 8, Astarte, is pushing hard.
If 2 and 8 stay at the front, that's an 18-fold payout!
2 and 8?
Number 8 shall be first place, but number 2 shall be third.
Second place shall be number 3.
Don't be silly, little lady. Number 3 couldn't possibly place.
They'll just gradually fall down the ranks.
Number 3 still has strength left. Look.
Astarte passes and takes the lead!
Zoroaster is hot on their heels! However, Omoikane pushes forward! Incredible!
Astarte finishes in the lead!
Omoikane finishes second, and favorite Zoroaster takes third!
'Tis as I said.
How did you do that, little lady?
That's amazing.
I'm an omniscient god. I simply know all.
Dost thou believe now, Yota?
Huh? I mean, it could be a coincidence, right?
And it wasn't the beginning of the race!
So deeply skeptical.
Hey, mister! Will this horse racing continue?
A race will begin at another track in a little while.
Good. I shall be more specific about this one.
"Kyoto" "Official" "neck" "dead heat"
Holy cow. She got the entire order right...
If I had bought a trifecta, I'd've had a 100-fold payout!
What did I tell you?
Yota!
This girl could make us billionaires!
"Ramen - Set Meals" "Key Noodle"
The food was delicious!
Please don't go!
I was not finished eating!
What's going on?
Is this a prank show? Is there a camera somewhere filming me?
Who would want to watch thee be pranked?
'Twould be a waste of a film crew.
I've known the owner a long time.
He wouldn't be able to trick me.
Are you telling me I have to believe in her power?
Thou hast a friendly relationship with that man, dost thou not?
He would not be able to trick thee.
Believe in my power of omniscience!
I know all.
'Tis all there is to it.
This god stuff and end-of-the-world stuff--I can't believe that,
but this girl has a supernatural power!
Should we stay with you, it seems we shall not have to be bored.
We have decided to stay with thee until the end of the world.
Now that thou hast obtained a god's power,
what wilt thou wish for?
Her power... is mine?
Then, what should I wish for?
I... I...
I-I wish to pass my entrance exams and attend the same college as Izanami!
Before that can happen, it'll be the end of the world !
Oh, will it?
I said it would end in 30 days!
Why did I decide to stay with a such a fool?
I'd like to know why you're here too!
It would appear thou hast a strong attachment to this Izanami woman.
No point hiding it from you, is there?
She's been my unrequited love since middle school.
I knew it.
But with my power, 'tis possible to steal her heart!
What? You can do that?
Dost thou believe it impossible?
You're telling me you can control people?
What? I lack that ability.
However, with my omniscience, 'tis possible to change thee to suit her tastes.
This girl's power...
Should I take a chance on it?
Okay. That's my wish.
I want to become Izanami's type of man!
Thy prayer shall be answered.
Now then...
She likes baseball.
I've been playing basketball this whole time!
I was wrong from the start!
She enjoys watching high school baseball.
She's my childhood friend, yet I didn't know!
In spring and summer, she even goes to the Koshien Stadium.
She likes it that much?!
She's normally so incredibly quiet that I can't even imagine her cheering.
She cheers a ton.
She cheers a ton...
But it's far too late to transfer to the baseball team...
Why not just challenge them?
Huh? Challenge who?
Challenge the baseball team.
Thou can just challenge them to a match and hit a big home run.
Dost thou not wonder how she'd react
if thou hit a comeback grand slam to win the game?
That would sway her heart.
Huh? I've never wondered that.
I shall negotiate with the baseball team and set the stage for thee.
Wait. Back up. I can't even play baseball!
I can't hit a baseball!
Now, now. Don't worry.
Thou hast me, dost thou not?
Who'd have thought it would actually happen?
How on earth did she make this happen?
Listen, one out is all you get.
Uh, right.
Remember what she told you.
Don't swing on the first pitch.
The fastball will come in too high.
Ball!
She was right.
Don't swing on the second either.
'Twill be a curveball, but you won't be able to hit it.
Strike!
Right again.
Don't swing at the third pitch.
It will bore through the inside corner.
If you hit it, the best you'd do is a foul.
Strike!
Right again.
Don't swing on the fourth pitch. He'll try to finish you with a slider.
It'd be a miracle if you hit it.
Strike!
She was right!
The fifth pitch shall be thy ball.
It shall be a weak fastball. Thy perfect pitch!
Thy perfect pitch...
...pitch... pitch... pitch...
Batter out!
Hey, Sato from my memory!
Yes?
That's the wrong response!
The fifth pitch from your run down didn't happen!
'Twas bad luck.
That's not going to cut it!
Look, Izanami's staring right at me!
Her face says, "What was that?"
What did you tell her?
I just said, "I'd like to see what Narukami can do,"
and she was like this.
What kind of setup is that?
Then she thinks I challenged the baseball team to a match?
I must look like an idiot!
More importantly...
Now's thy chance! Confess thy love!
My chance? This is the worst possible time!
The world shall end in 30 days.
Thou cannot afford to waste a single day.
Now, get going!
Oh, fine!
Izanami!
Yes?
I've always l-like... l-like... l-like...
I'd like you to go out with me!
Hear these feelings of mi--
I'm sorry.
Is it not time to go home?
Oh, right. Be careful going back to your house.
I don't have a house. I'm going to yours.
Why?
To live there.
What about Asgard?
Didst thou really think we could go there?
Art thou stupid?
I never even believed it existed.
But you can't just announce you're living with me.
We don't live in a manga plotline.
My parents don't know who you are. There's no way they'd take you in.
Call them. They shall give permission.
Mom? It's me.
This girl I just met suddenly declared she wants to stay with us.
You want me to decline, right?
Hello?
How old is she, and how is she dressed?
She looks to be in elementary school.
Her clothes are... distinctive? Mysterious?
She's kinda dressed like a cosplay nun.
Go ahead and bring her here.
You don't intend to let her stay, do you?
I do.
What?
Well? Was it not exactly as I said?
No future is beyond my omniscience.
Who...
Just who is she?
