The story turns a little dark this week. Yukine becomes rebellious and refuses to follow Yato’s orders. Heck, he no longer respect Yato as his master at all.
Thanks to Yukine’s attempt to become Tenjin-sama’s shinki, we get to learn what Nora actually is. Nora is not a name of a particular shinki. It’s a word to describe sinkis who have multiple names from multiple masters. They are not loyal to one master, therefore some Gods like Tenjin doesn’t like the idea of getting involved with them. Some other Gods, however, would use a Nora to command them to do something they wouldn’t ask their own shinki to do.
As Yukine continues to hate Yato and becomes a delinquent, the connection between a God and his shinki actually creates serious internal injury for Yato. He becomes weak and vulnerable. And that spoiled brat named Yukine has no idea what he has done to his master.
Ok, I officially dislike Yukine now. But again, Yato doesn’t really communicate with him as well. I guess this is how some kid turned bad in real life. Communication is indeed a major issue.
Kazuma, one of Bishamon’s shinki seems to have respect to Yato. He saves Hiyori from Bishamon, and ask her to help Yato to get rid of Yukine before Yato gets killed because of his internal injury.
