That seems like a very specific thing to have a program for. Do animals just coincidentally take forms of dead children that often in this universe? Or are animals recruited to take the forms of dead children for therapy?
I think the fact that it took the form of a dead girl and contacted her parents is the "rare event" Monobe was talking about, probably the program is just some "adopt an endangered animal" kind of thing, but in this case it would be a literal adoption.

I see I see. Monobe out here forcing them to seriously confront the reality of their situation. I like it. But more importantly...

CAT GIRLS! I LOVE CAT GIRLS! MONOBE IS SO DAMN CUTE.

Thanks for the translation.

Changelings are a common fixture of worldwide folklore. It can be assumed this kind of thing happens often enough that an official policy was established.

With this chapter, it feels like the real hurt is coming.

I wasn't expecting a government agency. I assumed this would be a simpler story with metaphysical aspects. Not that the tanuki wouldn't be nothing but a product of grieving parents' imagination, but basically that this would only be about dealing with the loss of a child by using the paranormal tanuki as a sort of comedic story tellingtool for it.
