very nice, God

How to get there?

· Through sacred gates (torii) in abandoned temples.
· At full moon or at twilight, when the line between worlds becomes thinner.
· At the invitation of the spirit itself (if it is strong), it can open a portal right under your feet. Dangers to humans

If an ordinary person accidentally wanders there, he could get lost forever - time flows differently, and the way back could disappear.
· Spirits often lure people with illusions (such as a ghostly holiday or a lost friend) to drain their life energy.
The only protection is the presence of a divine protection (a seal or a familiar), like Nanami's. In the world of "Nice to meet you, God," the Spirit World (or Youkai World) is a parallel dimension that exists right next to the human world but is hidden from ordinary people. Here are its key features:

🌌 What is this place?

· Crossworld: This isn't a "netherworld" in the traditional sense, but rather a reverse reality. Yokai, deities, and spirits live there, and humans can only enter through special gates (such as at abandoned temples or at night).
· Its own laws: There are different rules of time and space - you can walk for an hour, but in the human world a day will pass, and vice versa.
· Instability: The spirit world constantly changes depending on the emotions and powers of its inhabitants. Illusory forests, endless plains, or cities not found on maps can appear there.

🦊 Who lives there?

1. Yokai: A wide variety of creatures, from werewolves and foxes to powerful demons. All possess magic and can take human form.
2. Deities (Kami): Like Nanami and Mikage - they are located between worlds, but often visit the Spirit World.
3. Evil Spirits (Ara-yōkai): Dangerous creatures that feed on people's fears and can enter the human world to cause harm.

Acquaintances of Nanami, Tomoe and Mizuki

· Mikage - The former god of the earth who handed over the shrine to Nanami and was Tomoe's old master.
Kurama (Shinjiro) is a popular idol and Nanami's friend. He is actually a crow tengu who often rivals Tomoe.
· Ami Nekota and Kei are Nanami's school friends who gradually learn about the supernatural world.
· Otohiko - the god of wind, a friend of Mikage, who tested Nanami's strength.
· Akura-Ou (Kirihito) - Tomoe's former best friend and a dangerous youkai known as the Blood King.
· Yukiji is a human girl and Tomoe's first love in the past.
Separate Connections: Mizuki also has his own former goddess (Yonomori) and Unari, a siren deity he had a temporary connection with.

then becoming a guardian (divine messenger/familiar) is only possible at the initiative of a deity. Here are the rules:

· Make a contract: The deity must voluntarily offer to become your familiar, sealing the contract with an oath or a kiss (like Tomoe and Nanami). Without the god's consent, this is impossible.
Be a yokai or spirit: Humans cannot become familiars—only supernatural creatures with their own powers (foxes, snakes, other yokai). Your magic will be powered by the divine energy of your master.
· Accept the seal: A special mark-connection appears on the body, through which the god can transfer powers to you and sense your location.
· Loyalty: A familiar is obligated to protect its master and obey their orders. Betrayal or breach of contract results in a severe curse (as with Tomoe in the past).

the meeting place of the gods from their Japan, the great place - Izumo

Summary: Mikage is a mysterious figure who linked all three: he was Tomoe's master, Nanami's predecessor, and possibly Mizuki's creator.
Mikage is a former Earth God who played a key role in the fate of each of them. Here's his connection to each:

👑 For Nanami: Benefactor and Predecessor

He passed on his position to her, making her the new Goddess of the Earth:

· Saved from homelessness: When Nanami's father ran away, leaving her with debts, Mikage took pity on the girl and offered her to live in his old temple.
· Passed on the Title: Upon entering the temple, she unexpectedly received the Earth God's seal from him and all the familiars to boot.

🦊 For Tomoe: Former Master and Savior

He was its master for several hundred years:

· Saved from the Curse: When Tomoe was dying from the curse due to a broken contract, Mikage placed an oblivion compulsion on him, erasing the painful memories.
· Made Guardian: Tomoe then became his divine messenger and guardian of the shrine. However, Mikage later defected from his post and left all care of the shrine to Tomoe.

🐍 For Mizuki: Potential creator (according to one version)

There's a fan theory that Mizuki was Mikage's shinshi (divine messenger) before becoming Nanami's familiar. However, their relationship is never officially detailed in the manga.

Mizuki - "The Faithful Trickster"

The most complex and controversial character of the trio:

· Desperate Manipulator: His cunning and sweet talk are his way of surviving. He's afraid of abandonment, so he tries to tie Nanami to him through tricks.
Childhood resentment: Deep down, he's still a little snake abandoned in a flooded temple. Hence his whims, jealousy, and desire to be "the most beloved."
· Nobility Behind the Mask: Despite his attempts to drive a wedge between Nanami and Tomoe, at the crucial moment he always chooses her happiness, even if it breaks his heart. He steps back to make her smile.
· Fun Trait: He loves wearing weird t-shirts with slogans and is terrified when Nanami doesn't compliment him. He literally melts under the compliments. Tomoe - "The Secretive Romantic"

An arrogant seductress on the surface, he is in fact a vulnerable loner:

· Cynical Shield: Behind his barbs and smiles, he hides the fear of losing a loved one. He wore a mask of detachment for many years because he was afraid of getting attached (and losing them).
Possessive: He's incredibly jealous, though he doesn't show it outright. His line, "Nanami is my guardian," isn't about possessions, but about the highest value.
· Loyalty: If he gives his heart away, he will go against the whole world. For Nanami's sake, he is ready to destroy himself, break his vows, and even die.
· Fun Trait: Incredibly shy when it comes to romance! He only confesses his love when Nanami is asleep or turned away, and then blushes and gets mad at himself. Nanami - "Iron Kindness"

She's not your typical whiny heroine, but incredibly stubborn:

· Sacrifice: She always puts others before herself. She is willing to give her life or divine power even to an enemy if she sees them in pain. This is not naivety, but a conscious choice.
Fighting Spirit: She has a core of steel within her. If she decides to save Tomoe, she'll go to hell (literally) and fight until she wins, despite her fear.
· Forgiveness: She knows how to accept other people's shortcomings. She doesn't hold grudges—if someone has changed, she welcomes them with open arms.

Nanami (as the goddess of the earth)

Her strength isn't innate, but rather a divinely bestowed one. She's weak as a fighter, but unique as a Guardian:

· Healing and protection: Her blood and tears have a powerful cleansing power - they remove any curses and heal the wounds of youkai (even fatal ones).
Gift of Life: She can "revive" empty bodies by infusing them with a portion of her divine essence (this is how she saved Mizuki).
Taming: The rarest ability—with a single touch or request, she calms mad souls, restoring their sanity. She's completely defenseless in direct combat, but her natural stubbornness often works wonders. Tomoe (Fire Fox)

One of the strongest youkai, a specialist in attacks and illusions:

· Fire Foxes (Kitsune-bi): Creates dozens of blue/purple fireballs that burn through everything and serve as scouts.
· Illusions: Can change appearance (often turning into Nanami), erase the memories of mortals, and create mirages of an entire city.
· Speed ​​and Claws: Moves faster than the human eye, claws cut through stone like butter.
· Bond with Nanami: As her familiar, he senses her pain and location, and through a kiss, he transfers power to her (but is himself exhausted). Mizuki

Appearance: A young man with short ash-blond hair and aquamarine eyes. He wears glasses (without prescription, as an accessory) and modern, brightly colored clothing (hoodies and jeans). In battle, he reveals a snake tail and scales on his cheekbones. He appears younger than Tomoe, more childish, and is slightly taller than Nanami.
· Communication style: His voice is clear and he speaks very politely, but with a false sweetness, especially with Tomoe. He often uses playful "~mitai" or "~no yo" remarks. He likes to complain and manipulate, but in difficult moments he switches to a sincere, almost childish tone. He constantly calls Nanami "Guardian" (with a deep bow) and Tomoe "Fox" with a disdainful smile.

Nanami Momozono

Appearance: A pretty girl with long, reddish-brown hair, often tied back in two ponytails (or left loose). Her eyes are large and a warm caramel color. Due to her poverty, she wears a simple school uniform or comfortable clothes, and after becoming a goddess, a white kimono (haku) with pink accents. She is below average height and has a slight build.
· Communication style: She speaks vividly and emotionally, with frequent exclamations. She uses feminine verbs ("...va," "...ne"). She gets flustered, gets angry, blushes, and shouts ("BAKA!"), but at crucial moments, her voice becomes quiet and firm. She is very direct—she doesn't know how to be cunning; everything she feels is written on her face. Tomoe

Appearance: A magnificent man with long, silver-white hair reaching his waist and piercing violet eyes. He has fox ears (often hidden with an illusion) and wears a traditional kimono or a white shirt and trousers. He is tall, with perfect posture and sharp features. In battle, he gains claws and a tail.
· Communication style: His voice is low and velvety, spoken with a slight mockery and drawling vowels (for example, "Na-na-mi"). He uses masculine, slightly old-fashioned language ("washi" when referring to himself, "-dzya" instead of "-da"). He is very sarcastic and loves to tease Nanami, but when angry, he switches to an icy, dangerous whisper. He speaks of his love in a very casual manner, as if he were talking about the weather. Mizuki

Appearance: A young man with short ash-blond hair and aquamarine eyes. He wears glasses (without prescription, as an accessory) and modern, brightly colored clothing (hoodies and jeans). In battle, he reveals a snake tail and scales on his cheekbones. He appears younger than Tomoe, more childish, and is slightly taller than Nanami.
· Communication style: His voice is clear and he speaks very politely, but with a false sweetness, especially with Tomoe. He often makes playful remarks. He likes to complain, but in difficult moments he switches to a sincere, almost childish tone. He constantly calls Nanami "Guardian" (with a deep bow) and Tomoe "Fox" with a disdainful smile.

Tomoe and Mizuki are constant rivals for Nanami's affections, their interactions filled with ridicule and jealousy. Nanami Momozono: An ordinary high school girl who suddenly becomes the goddess of the earth. Despite her simple-mindedness, she is very kind and always puts others before herself, saving her friends even at the cost of her own life.
Tomoe: A fox youkai and Nanami's primary familiar. Initially arrogant and mocking, he gradually falls in love with Nanami and becomes her protector.
· Mizuki (Second Familiar): A lone white serpent deity from the sunken temple.
