But as he knows that the caster is Yato's father, he figures it'll be best if the new gods don't get involved. So he'll cover for Yato as best he can, for now.

☽ The Far Shore - Activity 2016

February 15, 2016 - The Welcoming Feast
A whole load of weird new gods and shinki showed up. While unhappy about being told to help them initially, Kazuma convinced Yukine that being a senpai to them would be the best approach. Which he pulled of mostly successfully.
He managed to speak to (almost 1, 2) every god and shinki, basically telling them all to get along and giving Coal, Killua, Yuuki, Hisoka, Gon, Alluka, Neku, Yuya, Yuto, and Arima the answers to their questions.

Yamato tried to kill him with an air hockey puck first.
Freyja had some particularly good questions, and Yukine mentioned to her the incident that happened recently.
Tsukuyomi (Joshua) gave Yukine very mixed impressions of being a bit irksome while seeming to already be getting along with his shinki.
Omoikane (Izaya) completely rubbed Yukine wrong with his insulting talk of shinki.
He really hopes that Tsuzuki doesn't go and ask Yato for additional advice.
Ma'at/Vector impressed Yukine with his observation skills and agreed to teach him in exchange for Yukine helping him take care of his shinki.
