In an alternate/future timeline where Miko could tell people about the spirits and be believed, she'd actually have a solid battle shounen lineup here.

The one who can see everything, her elite bodyguards, the stalker with a crush and her guardian spirit, the Devourer, the B-tier overeager sidekick, and three mentor-types with extremely clashing personalities.
Plus overpowered dead father.

I like that the group chat is called the compromise club. very cute.
Also how Mitsue-san continues to struggle with modern tech like ordering from a tablet last chapter and needs Romm to help her out like a grandson.

One of them instead pointed at Hana instead of the Spider, so this is either the Ramen lover or 2 different personalities; I wonder which way it's conveyed.
One of them's a prankster or very socialable. The others are pointing at a cool (really big) spider. The other one's telling Miko to either show it to Hana cause she will like it or to scare her.

iirc, Seto will have to eat the food later after the MiB had their meal.

I might be misremembering, but when offering food to altar in temple or street side shrines, the food is not discarded. It would be eaten by the family members, or for the people in the temple. For shrines outside such as by the roadside or inside forest, by wild animals or travellers in need.
The spirits had taken their part, those like us in the physical realm can take the leftover.
Yep!
In Shinto (the group of cultural beliefs that shape pretty much all of Japan’s culture, even more so than any religion, cause, yeah, it’s technically a religion, just not officially called one cause a certain emperor wanted to be related to the kami without breaking the law that pushed the separation of religion and the state… it’s a big mess, but very interesting… but I digress.) … that was too big of a parenthesis… Let me restart.

In Shinto, the food offering is usually eaten by people after some time, as a way to unify (?) with the kami. Basically, the gesture of offering the food is kinda the offering itself, actually. Then the Kami will “bless” the food, and then someone (the family, for a home shrine, or a priest or shrine staff for a big shrine) will eat it to accept the blessing. It is considered very offensive to throw away the food after offering it, because it contains these blessings, so that’s why the offerings are usually something that can remain edible after some time at room temperature, like mochi, uncooked rice, and sake. Usually the offering will be done early in the day, to be consumed in the evening, but it’s ok to eat them faster if there’s concern it could spoil, or that a cat or something could steal it. XD

But yeah, I have seen some people offering uncooked rice, and putting them in a special container, and cooking it toeat after a couple offerings, when there’s enough for a meal.

(I really love how these beliefs have evolved to not waste food, while also giving a pretty great reasoning for why the offerings stay there!)
(Also, I know a lot about this cause I did research to put up a home shrine in my house, as Shinto beliefs really resonate with me.)

I always feel so bad for Julia/Yuria/mushroom girl. I really hope she has an arc where she improves her skills too! I just want her and Miko to be able to talk about ghosts with each other!

page 1 / cover page :

it looks like Vixen Media Group releases their most newest "Blacked" video :
1 glasses girl vs 4 black-suited guys , lol .

page 2 :

- morino : ... zen-sense ( not -sensei ) ...

sensei still doesnt remember the face and name of morino , but he remembers the face and name of yotsuya , so , he has some little progressions ?

- seto kaiba : ... watashi ... , mitsue-chan , ... miko-san ...

- miko : ... my tou / my father ...

- seto kaiba : ... when dealing with that "oji-san" ... , your oyaji-san isnt an exception ...

- romu : ... miko-san ... , your otou-san ...

- miko : ... everyone-san ... , everyone ...

  • miko : ... i lost my focus power for a bit ...
  • hana : ... eh , did you lose your sugar ? ... my glasses have zero degree ...

summary of this chapter :
4 lucky invisible guys are in an all-girls school , lol .

black-suited men and tentacles look at each other , eyes to eyes , because they are in love ? lol .

page 27 :

- random girl : ... miko , you are an esper ? ...

page 29 :

on her phone :

- shindou romu : hi .

- mitsue : bi .

- seto : ... teach her how to use her smart-phone ...

- miko : ... black-suits-san ...

and then in the music room , the black-suits also sing along with the girls .

page 31 :

during lunch , hana eats a lot , while michiru only drinks 1 juice box .

during gym class , miko wears a short pants , while michiru wears a long pants .

page 37 :

  • " ... kiiko-chan , ... female ... "
  • me : er , too much information , who can tell the gender / the $ex of a bird , with only 1 simple glance ?

- miko : ... ( "they" ) found the bird on a tree ( "they" are the black-suits-san ) ...

the bird 's owner is a little boy or a little girl ? he looks like a boy to me .

- boy : ... onee-chan ...

actually , for a young girl , it is very dangerous to enter a house of strangers , and to eat and to drink strange stuffs .
what if the drinks have sleeping drugs ?

fun fact : A pet cockatiel can live up to 30 years or more with excellent care .

- miko 's brother : ... ore am ...

- miko : ... after 15 minutes , i will come pick up the food-offerings ( monotone ) ...

- seto kaiba : ... everyone-san ...

- me : i guess miko has "An eye for detail" , she can tell apart the 4 black-suits , and the 3 ducks huey dewey and louie , and the 4 beagle boys .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Eye_for_Detail

and then it looks like the dad and the dog are sticking their heads out of 2 glory-holes , lol .
