What happens now that she's used up all 3 chances?

Whew, finally some plot development. Guess I'll keep following for now.
@aberdeus
That thought has crossed my mind, but I dismissed it because the way Zen's lines have been phrased felt like the cats had died on their own (probably from his mother's spirit negatively affecting them). And it didn't look like their spirits reacted to Satoru at all, which would have been a major tell. Then again, it would make sense if he was revealed to be the one to sell out Zen's first cat to his mother, but then it calls into question why the dead cats aren't haunting him instead. For the sake of consistency I'd rather he wasn't the culprit. Besides, that'd make Zen even more miserable: being asocial due to mommy issues is one thing, but also having his only friend be an animal abuser veterinarian is literally laying it on too thick.
@relic626
Actually this was a gag trope manga until, like, a few chapters ago, lol. And this is the climax of its first actual attempt at a story arc. It didn't have any story prior to that—just a premise and a series of mostly-interchangeable vignettes based on it.
@Hasina
Yeah, that's... not exactly a surprising metaphor. She looks like a spider because she was a control freak and sucked the life out of her son while she was alive. Pretty much what a spider does to its prey.

I still don't understand what happens if the ghosts know she can see them. I've yet to see a single one of them even interact with a human. They all pass through them. Can they magically start touching you once they know you can see them or what?

I'm glad the plot took the turn to the best possible outcome. And I like that Miko starts to work as a spiritual problems resolver. It's only left for her to find out, how to use temple's services on a constant basis, and how to pay. Now I'm sure, the author will pull it out. I'm going through the fire and water, if it's from him.
@Udooky thanks. I had a feeling that something's wrong about her phrasing, that she'd never say it directly, moreover with a chance to be misunderstood by him. Now everything is on its place.

Someone send her help
@moozooh A spider-woman (jorogumo) is a traditional Japanese youkai usually depicted as a stalker or a home intruder female who sucks the life force of men or control them like puppets with her threads. Basically mom is behaving this way.
@lolmaolol The primary conceit of this manga is that we'll simply never know what happens if they get to someone like Miko. We do know that they can haunt people's bodies and get inside, sucking their life force and causing sickness. Maybe people who can see them will experience much worse. One possibility is that people like Miko and Julia are in tune with the ghosts and the ghosts can harm their souls directly or even eat them.

I don't know why the author decided to add a decent plot but I'm thankful. I think that she should be able to avoid problems if she behaves like she did on early chapters. Would be interesting if the guardians were to collect something in return rather than just not protecting her

@taxxicaab I guess she has to learn some exorcism shit from that other girl.
