I do wonder what exactly Hinako's life would be like after all of this. It'd be nice to know a bit more about what she's good at or interested in, especially now that she's getting less depressed. I guess she's the type who might be happy being a housewife, but that just raises the question of what fishe will be doing. It's not like she has a shrine to "borrow" the donations from, and if she's going to be actually immersing herself in human society she can't just keep using Jedi mind tricks on everyone.

I could see her taking to being a model or actress, though I get the impression she's one of those characters who could do pretty much anything so long as she actually wants to. I can totally imagine an omake chapter where Miko challenges her to compete with school grades and then is all "what the fuck, how are you #2 in the whole school after one week actually turning up for exams, I've been cramming all year and this is the first time you've done anything in a study session except sleep on Hinako's lap".
>>
>>284443825
Is being a fishmonger a viable career option that you can support a housewife with in current year Japan? Shiori can just cheat a little by turning into a mermaid and harvesting fresh fishe.

„According to author Konno, however, these parallels are not intentional, and the esu stories were not her inspiration. Rather, her story was a response to the increasingly popular boys' love series about love between (young) men in the 1990s. She wanted to write something similar with girls for a change and initially knew nothing about yuri as a genre.“

It is not, it is yaoi.
I didn’t even know about it. But as I looked it up, this is what I stumbled upon.

I don't think "so now Shiori is the one who wants to die without anyone minding" really works as a narrative conclusion to that. The problem is that they both dismiss the bonds others feel towards them, and here Shiori is still doing that.
>>
>>284460928
>Shiori needs to learn why someone would want to die.
I think she already understands this she said herself that she would rather die than than do the pledge with Hinako in chapter 28. And in the latest chapter she talks about how she when she gave Azami and Hinako her "gifts" she didn't know yet that life could be so ass that people wanted to die, but it seems like she fully understands now.
>>
when Hinako-chan isn't around, every character should be asking "where is Hinako-chan?"
>>
Honestly, Shiori fucked up with giving Azami immortality and not staying with her, but I don't really see how you can give her shit for giving loliHinako her blood. A general "health and protection" blessing was a totally reasonable way to repay Hinako's kindness, and you can't fairly expect anyone to account for every possible edge case where being healthy and protected somehow ends up being a bad thing. It's not like she deliberately pulled Hinako out of the burning wreckage and forced her to stay alive.
>>
>>284461310
Fishe knows Hinako wants to die from the pain of loss of her family, and also wants Hinako to love her the same way she loved her family. She has enough barnacle-encrusted braincells to realize dying would devastate Hinako just the same. Fishe is not really allowed to die before Hinako. She can get torn to pieces, sure, but then Hinako and foxe and Hinako would collect her filets and wait for her to reassemble herself.
>>
>>284460670
Well it can always be done by years passing and then Hinako's daughter or even long time descendant will meet Ms Fish.
A boy.
NTR in full antiyuri glory.

>>
The more I think about it, the more that an only-Shiori-dies ending seems the absolute least likely possibility, even more so than some kind of double suicide. If Shiori died to avoid the pledge, I don't see how anyone would be able to stop Hinako from following straight after her anyway. It wouldn't just be another precious person dying while she lives on, just after she'd have gotten over her first case of crippling survivor's guilt. It wouldn't even just be that person sacrificing their life specifically to save hers, unlike her family who just were killed in a random accident. It'd be Shiori sacrificing herself to save Hinako from a situation that Hinako herself created by forcing Shiori to make the pledge in the first place. Her family dying out of nowhere was bad enough, but this time she'd practically have killed Shiori herself; no way she's recovering from that after everything else.
>>
>>284467640
>no way she's recovering from that after everything else.
I'm not saying it would make for enjoyable writing, but the author could frame it as Hinako going "Shiori would've wanted me to live a happy life" and trying to do that, like how she was forcing herself to keep living when she thought it was the dying wish of her family, but this time she pulls it off better. I hope the author wouldn't go that route, though.

Only Miko and Hinako are at risk of dying.

>>284467640

Even with riceball loli, she was Guardian Spirit Okitsune-sama first, friend second, and it seems like after that she mostly's been hanging around her shrine in spritual form watching over the locals and only very occasionally physically interacting with them. Were there episodes of her life we just haven't been shown yet where Miko actually lived like a human alongside people before, or were her bonds with people before now mostly of the "kind local deity looking over her charges' lives with kindness" sort, and Project Fix Hinako is pretty much her first mutual long-term normal human friendship?
>>
>>284473011
I think Inugami Gyoubu was ended up convincing Miko to withdraw from LARPing as a human in the flesh, at least full time. We do know that she did spend some amount of time in a human avatar, but likely not on a day-to-day basis as she does currently. I do imagine she stayed with Onigiri loli until her death, though.
>>
>>284473011
I think she stopped living among them once she had to start hiding that she's a fox to avoid unnecessary memory manipulation. Hinako is probably the first of her charges that required this much attention since then.

But even before then, her main role was to be a powerful supernatural protector, which puts her on a very different footing to all of the local peasants. Even for riceball girl, it's easy to joke about her being Miko's child bride, but realistically Miko would have been a highly-respected older sister figure rather than an intimate friend. What I'm getting at is whether Miko has ever had a "best friend" type relationship before, someone she could casually confide in in or who she'd hang out at weekends and go clothes shopping with.

For all she's said about have finally been able to form bonds with humans, it seems like she still was probably keeping herself at a certain distance until now, unless we're going to get a Regarding Yashiro Miko LN where we learn about her past adventures with someone who brefriended her like a normal human despite her youkai powers (legally-distinct Reimu?).

I wouldn't really agree with your assessment, because it's implied that they never witnessed her true form until after the monk died, and before then she was just kind of his underling. The monk himself was never really in any sort of esteemed position, he was a hermit. They would have had a casual relationship established before Miko became venerated as a kami.

The monk wasn't around for that long, and - memes aside - the kind of bond that you get between a girl still that young and someone of Miko's (apparent) age isn't an equal friendship like she has with Hinako.

I recall in one of the volume's extras they ask the three main girls what's their favorite animal and the fox said humans. It's morally right for her to fuck the Tanuki then. Everybody wins!
>>
Have fox and fishu ever fucked a human?
>>
>>284475546
Miko only has that small duration of time in terms of experience being human. She's intelligent insofar as she can exchange words, and presumably cunning as a predator, but in terms of both emotional and social intelligence, she's basically at a child's level. I don't think that it's a coincidence that children are the ones who open the gates of human society to youkai who awkwardly take an interest but don't quite get it.
>>
>>284475622
>Fishe's favorite animal is Hinako
>therefore she shouldn't fuck Hinako
This is how retarded your logic is. Foxe deserves a human girlfriend.
>>
>>284475635
I mean, we've seen Miko in the flashback. She doesn't fully understand her bonds and emotions at that point, but she's not like Shiori interacting with young Hinako, either. She speaks and acts like a grumpy teenager, not a child. Shiori was born from the sea and was very childlike at the beginning because she started from literally nothing, but I don't think that holds for all youkai, such as kitsune who do have experiences of parents and family.
>>
>>284475887
Foxes are social animals, to an extent, but recall that Miko's recollection of her family is limited to "half of them were turned into pelts". And this is quoted from modern Miko who very dearly understands the significance of emotions and bonds. A fox-turned-youkai should theoretically have that intellectual advantage over a mermaid, but in practice the nature of youkai themselves is contrary to that anyways. Whatever emotional experience Miko had as a fox evidently did not transfer over much after she became a youkai, except, presumably resentment towards humans (which was in all likelihood the cause of her transformation in the first place).

The thing is that the pledge only fires if Hinako really is happy.
One thing that they could go with is that because Hinako becomes despaired as soon as Fishe starts dying the curse is broken in that moment because the condition is no longer fullfilled.
And the author could just say that it was a once only deal so they can have their happy ever after.
OR it could be Schrödingers suicide, when Fishe wants to eat her Hinako gets sad. When she doesn’t she gets happy. When she gets happy Fishe has to eat her. Effectively canceling out.
Hinako genuinely wanting to live is a thing.
Or, there is one more possibility: the curse is and has always been a lie and Fishe is like: lol, I am a monster, what do you expect?

I think Miko would have been a little more shock if the pledge involves fish dying. Maybe she'll just lose braincells becoming proto-shiori.

>>
>>284480715
Next panel should be fox realizing she is getting cucked and losing her wits
>>
>>284481036
Miko's assuming that Shiori will keep the pledge, though. She says that now she'll have to think about when she's going to fulfill it. If that's how it works, I would assume that breaking it and dying / losing immortality would be utterly unthinkable to a mermaid for whom immortality is their whole deal, kind of like a kitsune willingly giving up its tails, which is why the pledge could be relied upon by the maidens in the first place. If Shiori breaks it, it'd be an indication that she's changed herself and fully become part of the human world like Miko.
>>
>>284467640
>>284480889
Shiori admitted immediately after the pledge that she gets to decide when to eat Hinako, i.e. when she's happy enough. Maybe that's also partly based on there being no specified time limit for doing the deed, but that doesn't really make a difference.
The only open question is if it's fine to just eat her corpse or if she has to kill her by eating her - the pledge is almost completely meaningless in the former case unless Hinako jumps into a volcano or gets fully digested by someone else (good luck with that when Shiori presumably can still sense the corpse's location and you have her and a rabid fox on your tail), but in the latter she'd be fucked if Hinako dies by any other means. This would give Azami an elegant way of getting rid of her if she finds out about it but also Shiori a nice countermeasure in making Hinako immortal, so that option seems narratively plausible to me.

For her part, Hinako herself seems to be under the impression that the pledge means that Shiori will eat her "next time", presumably meaning the next time Hinako actively wants to die again after fulfilling her end of the bargain by attempting to live. She might just be making assumptions on her own, but it could be that we're all overthinking it and the condition is that Hinako has to actually ask for Shiori to eat her or at least to try to kill herself again, in which case it's a much simpler matter of just not letting Hinako reach that low point of despair again in the first place. I could see a more open ending where just like a real traumatized person, they can't conclusively escape from the possibility of Hinako one day relapsing and activating the promise, but each day where that doesn't happen makes it less and less likely for the next day.

The thing is now that I have thought about it, the perfect ending would be if Azami pretends to be Hinako so that she gets eaten instead and the curse is thereby fulfilled. Probably they will not go there but this IS the perfect ending. I am therefore still putting my money on it
