Noragami Chapter 73 Spoilers

I found the first 10 pages of chapter 73 on a Chinese forum, so can give a bit of a run-down as to what’s going on.

Hiyori is glad things are back to normal but worries about Yukine’s outbursts, and suspects they have something to do with the God’s Greatest Secret and that’s why Yato’s been keeping a close watch over him. Yato gets a call for a job but he doesn’t want to do it because he’s still sore, but Yukine says that Hiyori will present a Capyper Inari to him as an offering if he completes the job successfully. Yato doesn’t know what a Capyper Inari is but he wants a bunch of them, so takes the job.

Except it turns out the job is that Ebisu has been kidnapped and is being held for a 10 billion yen ransom. Yato runs out to find Kunimi, who is groggily eating ramen. Despite Ebisu telling him at the covenant that he’d give him a bunch of vacation, all Kunimi got was a coupon that let him sleep in late for one day.

The kidnappers call back and demand the 10 billion yen ransom, and Kunimi says he’ll only do it if Ebisu promises him three months’ vacation. Yato wonders if this is really the time for this, but Ebisu butts in that this is actually perfect timing and that they’d actually been in negotiations about this earlier. Ebisu had told Kunimi that he needed to be in an advantageous position to negotiate, and taking the opportunity now meant he was behaving more like the guidepost of the god of business should. However, Ebisu reveals that because he can’t actually die even if the kidnappers stab him (and if in the off chance he does, he’ll just reincarnate), he still has the upper hand in bargaining, and tells Kunimi he’d better get to work earning that 10 billion yen. The phone call then cuts off.

The first 10 pages look like it may be a more light-hearted breather chapter, but the fact that the title is “If You Can Hear Me Scream”, I’m guessing by the end it’ll prove otherwise.
