After such an ominous setup last chapter, the frame of Shinonome-san looking terrified and admitting she was powerless against whatever that thing is was a really good payoff. I got goosebumps.
My guess is that instead of being an eldritch horror beyond even Shinonome's capabilities that it's some sort of low-level spirit that totally grosses her out but that Tsudzumi's fine with. Like a ghost of a spider or a cockroach or something. Or else it's a bee and she's allergic and doesn't want to get My Girl'd.
That might be wishful thinking because I'm starting to feel bad for Tsudzumi. I'm honestly not sure if her cool side even really exists, but if it does please let her show it off already.
Lol she's so cute not being taken seriously at all and just being a koala.
I don't know what that is but it looks like we'll find out more about Shino's life now?
...the part that shocked me the most is that by logic, Shinonome is under 25?! Anyway. Looks like we finally found something that scares her~ ✨
Thks for the translation~
