The episode begins as Mayu, the Cat God, stumbles upon an ancient cherry blossom tree on her way to school. Intrigued by the magical aura emanating from the tree, she curiously approaches it and finds a small deity perched upon its branches. This cherry blossom spirit, named Sakon, venerates the tree but is plagued by an inexplicable withering of its blossoms year after year.
Determined to assist Sakon and restore the cherry blossom tree's beauty, Mayu seeks the guidance of her quirky, mischievous companions. Led by Mayu's loyal butler, Sasana, a group of divine creatures including a fox spirit named Yuzu, a rabbit statue known as Gonta, and a catfish deity named Meiko, join forces in a collective effort to help Sakon fulfill her duties as the guardian of the tree.
Through their investigations, the group unravels the mystery behind the tree's recurring decline. Troubling revelations suggest that the imbalance in the spiritual essence surrounding the cherry blossom tree might be related to the recent construction of a coffee shop nearby. With this knowledge, the self-proclaimed "friendly neighborhood" gods and spirits spring into action.
As they march into the coffee shop, led by Mayu's determination, they confront the human owner with an amusing mix of divine powers and clumsiness. Their goal is to persuade the entrepreneur to find a compromise that will ensure both the success of his business and the preservation of the cherished cherry blossom tree.
