@Draken The wordplay was a little further than that on most of the titles, but we decided to scale it down to be a little more understandable, since it definitely didn't translate well. i.e. direct would have been "My Nearby Troll 2" since it was chikaba no tororu vs tonari no totoro.
You know, Miko can literally work as a miko given her power, and that god-thing is sweet to her. Won't working at the shrine basically solve her most pressing problems?
That scary abomination was clearly a inari, it's fox shape and multitude of tails is quite telling.
And it protected hana all the time, so however creepy it looked it might have been a good spirit, since it gives miyuki the advise that you must repeat your wish 3 times at a shrine to make it effective.
@Quill
She probably didn't consider it, but if she prayed to the god of the shrine, that means she acknowledged it.
Which is the single most dangerous thing you can do with these spirits.
