As Kana-chan would say, I'm crying bitter tears. Shinobu saying that the gods are just a figment of her imagination so she can indirectly praise Chihaya is so raw. Ise-sensei admitting he was wrong was so raw. Shinobu realizes that she is stronger with Chihaya as her opponent, she finally properly respects her, and they will show the world together just how strong queens are ;-; wahhh
