Episode 2 “Someday’s Garden” Synopsis
Natsume begins to make a flower bed in a corner of the garden for Touko, who gave him some flower seedlings from a neighbor. While working hard every day, he notices that the stones surrounding the partially completed flower bed are missing.
That night, as Natsume waited for the culprit to steal the stone, some spirits wearing old man masks appeared before him. Calling themselves box guardians, the spirits asked Natsume to hand over the stone to them, and showed him a dilapidated miniature garden and mansion housed inside an old wooden box.
They ask Natsume for his help to help a god who is visiting the Box Mansion for the first time in decades.
