!!Daitetsu Hibiki
!!!Voiced by: Takanori Hoshino

Nagi is full of energy and curiosity towards her new environment, but at the same time she really tends to overdo it, leading her to do more harm than help for Jin. In the end, ''she's'' the one who usually has to be corrected and brought down from whatever cloud she's hanging out on. Also {{reconstructed}}, as Tsugumi states that the time Jin spent with Nagi really has made him more open to try new things.

Nagi's "younger sister", she is a deity who emerged when a part of the original sacred tree was taken and planted on the other side of the river that divided the town.

Currently she has more power than Nagi, as her sacred tree is intact and she uses Christianity as a vehicle for finding new worshippers. She is intent on defeating Nagi and being the only goddess and idol in the town of Kannagi.

However, the slightest touch of any of the impurities weakens her and spreads corruption to her body.
