Sakuna, daughter of the war god Takeribi and the harvest goddess Toyohana, leads a lazy and spoiled life due to her privileged upbringing; she inadvertently allows humans who had wandered into the realm of the gods to enter the capital.

Amidst the raging sea, Sakuna and her companions finally reach the island and head towards the mountain pass where her mother, Toyohana, once lived.

Sakuna not only has to deal with manure and fertilizer in the fields, but people also cause her various problems; through a shared rice-planting song, the group manages to come together again.

Myrthe has moved to Yanato in the distant East to teach the residents about the Formos religion; when the group makes contact with the Kappa, the blue-eyed foreigner is mistaken for an enemy.

Sakuna tries to set Yui up with Kinta. Yui suddenly disappears and a crane appears instead. Sakuna and Kinta set out to search for this mysterious creature.

The harvest approaches; on the volcano, ghosts and skeletons seem to be causing trouble; Ashigumo is injured in battle.
