"-To! Yato! Wake up!" Yukine's voice broke through Yato's sleeping mind. "Hiyori is already here. Let's go!"

"Huh, let me sleep Yukine..."

"What are you saying? We promised Hiyori that we'd go to the beach today! If you don't get dressed fast, we'll lose the bus!"

Yato finally came down from the dream land.

Downstairs, Hiyori was chatting with Kofuku and Daikoku.

"Are you two sure you don't want to come with us?" Hiyori asked.

"We have to look after the store. But you guys go and have fun." Daikoku replied, offering a sweet smile.

"Nhaaaa, Daikoku, I wanna go, too! Let's goooooo! Pwease?"

"No! If you go to a crowded place like the beach, who knows what misfortunes could happen!" Daikoku countered.

Eventually, Yato and Yukine came down from their room.

Before leaving, Kofuku pulled Hiyori to the side.

"Hiyorin, take care, okay?"

"Hum, we're just going to swim. Don't worry."

"I have a bad feeling... Don't let Yato out of your sight, the whole time. promise?"

Hiyori was puzzled but Kofuku was right. Knowing Yato as well as she does, if he ran somewhere alone he would definitly get in trouble.

"Okay, leave it to me!"

The three were at the bus stop waiting for the bus to arrive. Yato was sitting on the bench with their luggage while the other two were standing up, further ahead.

At some point, Hiyori looked at Yato and saw him eating a sandwich.

"Yato! What are you doing?!"

"What does it look like? I'm eating. I was sooo hungry." He answered with a grin.

"But you just ate breakfast at Kofuku's!"

Yukine rushed to Yato's side, only to see that all the food they had prepared for the day was completely gone.

Needless to say, Yukine punched the hell out of Yato.

"Yukine, do you still have any money left?"

"I have this much."

"Ah, good..." Hiyori sighed in relief. "With the amount I have, we can still buy something at the beach."

In the mean time, the bus arrived.

When the three reached their destination, it was a quarter past 12.

"Can we go have lunch now?" Yato was hopeful.

"You... You can't have any! You already ate too much!" Hiyori retorted.

"But..." The God's eyes were filled with tears.

"If you say you're hungry again, I'm gonna kill you." Yukine glared at his partner.

Without further ado, Hiyori bought some food for her and Yukine. The storewoman gave her a jar of umeboshi as, apparently, she was the number 100 costumer, that day.

As the two were filling their bellies, Yato tried to take a few bites, but Yukine would always catch him and push him away.

When they finished their meal, Hiyori suggested they'd go refresh a bit by the water.

Yato stayed behind, claiming he would protect their luggage. That wasn't his true purpose, though. He, incessantly, glared at the umeboshi jar. A few seconds later, the jar was emptied.

Yukine and Hiyori were playing, happily by the sea, throwing water at each other, laughing and running.

After a while, Hiyori looked to where Yato was supposed to be, only to find out he wasn't actually there.

"Yukine! Yato's gone!"

"Huh?! Where did that baka go?!"

They both rushed to their belongings.

"Hey, Hiyori... The umeboshi are all gone too."

"Yato, you-" Hiyori's words were interrupted by a scream coming from the seaside.

It was Yato. He was going around all the girls, harassing them with his business cards.

Suddenly, Yato stopped. He kind of looked depressed...?

Then, he took his clothes off, for some unknown reason and started running in circles, shouting I'm the Yatogami. I'll make your wished come true.

Coming from someone in his situation, that was bound to sound shady.

"The fuck is that bastard doing?!" Yukine shouted.

At that very moment, Hiyori's phone started ringing.

"Ah, Hiyorin~? I just remembered why I was so reluctant this morning. They usually sell umeboshi at beach stores. Don't let Yato near them." It was Kofuku on the other side of the line.

"Huh... Kind of... Too late, ahah..." The girl replied to Kofuku's advice. "What exactly happens if he does eat them?"

"You see, we Gods don't get drunk with alcohol, but umeboshi have the same effect on us that alcohol has for humans."

"So... What you're saying is... YATO'S DRUNK?"

"Yato is what?!" Yukine overheard. "More importantly, Hiyori, Yato has run off to somewhere again. I lost track of him. We have to find him before he does something stupid and even gets arrested!"

Hiyori ended Kofuku's call.

"Let's do this, Yukine!"

Obs: Umeboshi are pickled plums.
