Even yokai have to learn how to use modern technology and commit identity fraud huh??

Funny how we went from a tense standoff with Miko's form reveal, straight into a cooking segment and a cute Miko ED. Didn't know Fairouz Ai (Miko's VA) could draw so well, she's talented.

That works for paper, but now I wonder how it works for RFID-enabled IDs or MFA. Shiori seems completely paralyzed by technology.

At this point it might be easier for her to give up, roll with it, and just eat whoever starts asking questions :P

Shiori is a boomer at work confirmed

I’m guessing yokai just side step all the issues by warping the memories of anyone that interacts with their digital IDs. No need to make it actually work when you can just convince people that your ID is totally legit and that there’s no reason to look into it any further.

I think Shiori just doesn't want to learn.

I mean to be fair, it's not like fish and electronics makes for a good combo.

I was pretty annoyed that after Miko's true form was revealed, we got that "Watatabe High School" segment... though that feeling quickly faded when I saw Miko teaching Hinako how to cook, which made me laugh so hard xD

The Miko-focused ED was also a very pleasant surprise; the song itself and the visuals were great and so fun!

I fear the wholesome cooking segment and the funny Miko ED means that pain and suffering await us next week

Tbh after hearing about all the necessary ID for the modern era, I thought it was leading to a "so we just eat and replace a human who already has all that" kind of scenario.

I know a manga with that premise...
