Plot

16-year-old Koito Koganei has recently become a miko at the Takamimi Shrine after her grandfather's death, and thus the caretaker of the shrine's living "deity", a beautiful ageless elf by the name of Elda. However, Elda is a shut-in who greatly fears going beyond the boundaries of the shrine ever since a boy accidentally taunted her about her ears 60 years ago. As a result, Koito tries to get Elda out of her self-made shell and enjoy life in the larger world, with somewhat mixed success.

Characters
Koito Koganei (小金井 小糸, Koganei Koito)
Voiced by: Yuka Ozaki[1]
Koito inherited her miko position in the 15th generation of her family after her grandfather died, along with a lot of frustration since her shrine's "goddess" - an elf summoned hundreds of years ago - is not the kind of awe-inspiring being outlined in fantasy fiction. Despite this, she cares for Elda after the elf had comforted her over her mother's death when she was six years old.
Elda (エルダ, Eruda) / Eldarie Irma Fanomene (エルダリエ・イルマ・ファノメネル, Erudarie Iruma Fanomeneru)
Voiced by: Ami Koshimizu[1]
A beautiful female elf, age 621, who was summoned from another world to Earth over 400 years ago by Tokugawa Ieyasu. She became the local "deity" of the Takamimi Shrine under the title Takamimi Hime no Mikoto (高耳姫の尊), but instead of attending to her "divine" duties, she has become a hardline otaku who prefers to lounge in the house and pass her time with anime, video games, eating and energy drinks. Her only magical talent is making telepathic contact with other persons. Despite her faults and her extreme shyness, she is immensely popular in the local neighborhood, mostly because of her unaging nature.
Koma Sakuraba (桜庭 高麗, Sakuraba Koma)
Voiced by: Haruka Aikawa[2]
Koito's schoolmate and best friend.
Koyuzu Koganei (小金井 小柚子, Koganei Koyuzu)
Voiced by: Hitomi Sekine[2]
Koito's younger sister. Despite her tender age, she is a talented cook whose dishes are greatly favored by Elda.
Yord (ヨルデ, Yorude) / Yordeilla Lila Fenomenea (ヨルデリラ・リラ・フェノメネア, Yoruderira Rira Fenomenea)
Voiced by: Rie Kugimiya[3]
A 622-year-old female dark elf and the "deity" of the Hiromimi Shrine bearing the honorary name Hiromimi Hime no Mikoto. She was summoned to Earth at the same time as Elda, except by Toyotomi Hideyoshi. She is extremely energetic and, unlike Elda, has traveled far and wide across Japan, but has in turn a bad sense of orientation. And despite being Elda's elder by one year, she looks and behaves much like a child.
Himawari Kohinata (小日向 向日葵, Kohinata Himawari)
Voiced by: Teru Ikuta[3]
A blonde girl who, like Koito, is sixteen years old, fifteenth miko in her family line, and Yord's caretaker.

1"The Elf of Tokyo"
Transcription: "Tōkyō no Erufu no Hanashi" (Japanese: 東京のエルフのはなし)		Ayaka TsujihashiShōgo YasukawaTakebumi AnzaiApril 8, 2023 (2023-04-08)[lower-alpha 3]
Koito Koganei is the miko of the Takamimi Shrine and cares for the goddess Takamimi Hime no Mikoto, who in reality is a hikikomori otaku elf named Elda who was summoned by Koito's ancestor 400 years ago. Despite this, Elda is beloved by the locals. Koito has vague memories of a woman in white from her childhood who helped her cope with her mother's death. Koito suspects Elda is popular because her immortality makes her a comforting presence. Koito later learns from Elda she became a hikikomori after a child insulted her 60 years ago. They argue about Elda's selfishness so Koito resigns. Koito returns to the park where she met the woman in white. She suddenly realizes that as an immortal, Elda eventually loses everyone she cares about and stays inside to avoid that pain. Elda goes outside for the first time in years to find Koito. Elda reveals she became a goddess at the request of her good friend Tokugawa Ieyasu. She also reveals it has been ten years since she visited the park with Koito, causing Koito to realize Elda was the woman in white.
2"Let's Go to Monja Street"

Elda practices speaking with people again by thanking Koyuzu, Koito's younger sister, who cooks Elda's meals. Elda spends a lot of money completing a set of toys from a restaurant chain, causing Koito to worry she is gaining weight. As Elda is seeing more people, Koito invites her best friend Koma Sakuraba to the shrine. Elda is unsure about her outgoing personality, but they get along talking about her toys, with Elda revealing she has enjoyed collecting free merchandise since the Edo period when pharmacists gave out free woodblock prints with medicine purchases. Elda is sad that one of the toys she is missing is only sold by collectors at inflated prices. Koma reveals a shop by her house sells old toys and is able to buy the toy for Elda cheaply. Koito and Elda disagree on whether Tsukishima's cultural meal is monjayaki or tsukudani and it transpires Elda has been isolated for so long the old names of foods have changed and some modern foods she has never tried before. Elda is convinced to visit a monja restaurant for dinner. However, she eats so much it costs Koito her entire week's miko wages.
3"The New Priestess and the Ritual of Succession"
Transcription: "Shinmai Miko to Keishō no Gi" (Japanese: 新米巫女と継承の儀)		Tsuyoshi NagasawaShōgo YasukawaTakebumi AnzaiApril 22, 2023 (2023-04-22)[lower-alpha 5]
Elda orders a limited edition pudding, marveling that thanks to delivery services, products can be sent anywhere all year. Elda recalls the first delivery service in the Edo period. Elda and Koito begin indulging on Elda's stash of limited edition cakes, pastries, snacks and drinks and are scolded by Koyuzu when they are too full to eat dinner. Koito undergoes her succession ritual where she and Elda walk the streets at night to formally introduce herself as Elda's new miko. The ritual is personally precious to Elda, surprising Koito that Elda willingly spends so long outdoors. Their route ends at a convenience store and Koito furiously learns the entire ritual began 400 years ago when Elda forced the first miko to get ramen for her late at night, and has no spiritual relevance at all. Elda reveals the ramen Koito picked is the same one her mother Sayoko chose during her succession, making Koito slightly happier about the ritual. At another shrine elsewhere in Japan, an elf named Yord and her miko Himawari decide to visit Elda.
4"The Elf Battle of All Times and Places"
Transcription: "Kokon Tōzai Erufu Kassen" (Japanese: 古今東西エルフ合戦)		Masahiko WatanabeShōgo YasukawaNoriaki SaitōApril 29, 2023 (2023-04-29)[lower-alpha 4]
While shopping, Koito encounters Yord crying as Himawari is missing. Seeing she is an elf like Elda, Koito invites her to the shrine where Himawari had already gone looking for her. Elda is extremely uncomfortable around Yord; they were summoned at the same time but by two different summoners in different cities, and despite Yord’s childlike appearance, she is older than Elda and has a habit of tormenting her. Yord insists on settling their elven duel, Ringberry Bjorling, which turns out to be just tic-tac-toe in which they have been in a stalemate for 400 years, but only because the more intelligent Elda cannot handle Yold's tantrum should she actually beat her. Yold and Himawari abruptly leave, having only visited on their way to a concert in Tokyo, leaving Elda and Koito exhausted. Elda ends up catching an elvish cold from Yord. Koito discovers Elda has been a patient at the same nearby clinic since the Edo period. She later attempts to make rice porridge, but Koyuzu already made Elda pork cutlets. Elsewhere, Yord's cold is much worse and she craves meat skewers. Himawari suspects elves must crave fried food when sick.
5"Tsukishima Girls' Collection"
Transcription: "Tsukishima Gāruzu Korekushon" (Japanese: 月島ガールズコレクション)		Yoshihiko IwataShōgo YasukawaTakebumi AnzaiMay 6, 2023 (2023-05-06)[lower-alpha 4]
Elda overworks the spirits she uses to send psychic messages, so Koito gives her a smartphone. Elda is embarrassed to recall how in the Edo period, she and Yord used the express messenger service founded by Tokugawa Ieyasu to aid his Unification of Japan to pass childish jokes back and forth. When she eventually realizes her spirits are sulking from being neglected, Elda gives up texting and resumes using psychic messages. Trying to appear mature, Koito buys a coat for her coming of age ceremony that does not suit her. For fun, Koito and Koma dress Elda in the coat, making her look like a fashion model. Koito actually becomes flustered when Elda trips and traps her against a wall. Elda is uncomfortable around fashion since there was a time in the Edo period where extravagant clothes were illegal. For her ceremony, Elda gives Koito the shrine's furisode, a stunning antique kimono passed down from Koito's mother, grandmother and great-grandmother all the way back to Elda's first miko 400 years ago. Seeing Koito try it on, Elda wishes Koito did not have to grow up so fast.
6"Stand by Me"Naoki HoriuchiShōgo YasukawaNoriaki SaitōMay 13, 2023 (2023-05-13)[lower-alpha 4]
Koito decides to spend more time studying, causing Elda to worry Koito is sick of her. She frets further when Koito buys an academic achievement charm from another shrine. Seeing Koito study Elda recalls when she was summoned she had to learn Japanese at a temple school. Due to boredom, Elda keeps interrupting Koito until she realizes she can ask Elda all about history since she lived through it. Unfortunately, Elda's stories are tainted by complaints about how hard life was back then. Koito ends up passing her test when Elda impulsively offers to pay for sushi as a reward. An important ritual held every fifty years to honor Mt. Fuji distresses Elda as it is at the tallest point in Tokyo, the Tokyo Skytree, and Elda is scared of heights. To distract herself, Elda recalls how the name Mt. Fuji was inspired by The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter. Even though mikos are forbidden to enter the sanctuary with Elda, she insists Koito stays. The occasion is slightly ruined when Elda prays for Koito to be nicer to her, while Koito prays Elda stops buying so many expensive games.
7"The Aroma of the Town"
Transcription: "Machi no Nioi wa" (Japanese: 街の匂いは)		Ayaka TsujihashiShōgo YasukawaKagetsu AizawaMay 20, 2023 (2023-05-20)
Koyuzu is given homework to write about old games. Elda teaches her about takoage, big sister dolls, and origami in which Elda is a 400 year expert. Elda's particular favorite from the Edo period was blowing soap bubbles. After playing all afternoon, Koyuzu admits she did not have homework, she just wanted Koito's attention. Elda has a nightmare caused by her inability to obtain a super rare toy. By coincidence, the toy is the fifth place prize in the upcoming shopping arcade raffle, but entry requires five stamps from arcade stores. Forced to collect the stamps, Elda realizes many locals still grow Daphne odora in her honor for its symbolism of immortality. After collecting the last stamp from Kadoi and a drunk Akane at the monja restaurant, Elda heads to the raffle. Afterwards, Kadoi realizes Akane already won the toy earlier and manages to convince the organizers to rig the raffle and let Elda believe she won the toy fairly. While Elda is pleased to win the toy, Koito is disappointed she missed the first place prize, a Hawaiian vacation.

Reception

The anime was received positively. Alex Henderson of Anime Feminist reviewed the first episode, stating that the show understands the importance of having "endearing character dynamics and deeper themes", with Elda not only living gaming, but has a "deep sense of care for the community" she cares for, and described the show as a supernatural comedy with silliness grounded in characters that aren't "one-off jokes", without any fan service.[20]
