Kannagi is a goddess who has lived for over 1,400 years. She is a lover of nature and is highly respected by the people of the town. Kannagi is also known to have the power to purify impurities, which makes her a powerful ally in the fight against evil spirits.

Kannagi's awakening is met with controversy, as some people believe that she is a fake goddess. However, Jin Mikuriya comes to her rescue and defends her. Soon, other characters are introduced, including Tsugumi Aoba, an old friend of Jin; Nagi, a rival goddess to Kannagi; and Zange, the younger sister of Nagi.
