The series revolves around a female college student named Aoi (voiced by Nao Tōyama), who inherited the ability to see spirits from her late grandfather. Aoi prides herself on her cooking ability. One day, she was feeding some agricultural spirits when suddenly a god and the innkeeper Tenjin-ya appeared and took Aoi away. He said that because of her grandfather's debt, she had to become his bride. Aoi hates this idea and instead declares that she will repay her grandfather's debt by working at Tenjin-ya.
