Goodreads Synopsis:

CURIOSITY KILLS

Yukine was harboring the fugitive stray at Kofuku's place, but when Kofuku comes home with an entourage of shinki, his new friend vanishes without a trace. When Yukine goes out looking for her, he only finds her former master instead. The encounter ends a bit too peacefully, and Koto's words nag at Yukine, but the questions they raise are dangerous ones...

Review:

While Kazuma and Yato are off training and preparting to kill Yato's father, Yukine is complicating things with the stray. In the beginning it might have seemed like an innocent friendship forming despite everything, but we all knew it wouldn't be. Of course she's planting seeds in his head, whether she wants to or not, and now things are spiraling quickly.
Hiyori hasn't shown up too much, but when she does, she's trying to help them. She doesn't need to be the role that shows up and takes care of things out of nowhere, but it's nice to see her standing up for them when she sees the opportunity. Even the other gods are meeting up and debating on what to do here.
This is becoming increasingly messy, and awfully dangerous for everyone, at this point. These slow releases are awful, too. I need to know what happens next!
