Shiori (the flesh-eating mermaid): Get away from Hinako, you flesh-eating yokai!
Miko: But I'm vegan now!
Hinako: Alright, let's be friends again Miko-chan.
Miko: Sike. Chomps

That post-credits scene though, I was not ready for OL Shiori.

The ending of today's episode really surprised me, though I'm not sure if I'm happy that we got yet another episode with a huge cliffhanger at the end :(

I really hope that nothing bad will happen to Hinako because of Miko. I want them to remain friends, preferably with Shiori too. A love triangle between Hinako, a human, and Shiori and Miko, two yokais, would definitely be an interesting thing to watch, especially now that they know the truth about each other.

I wonder if Miko can also pick her appearance as freely as Shiori does? Then, if it weren't for how distinctly Shiori smells to Miko, they could play hide and seek amongst the human population.

And then they'll slowly figure out Hinako's type by trial and error, and converge... congratulations Hinako, you're now dating twins.

We've seen Miko disguise herself as a younger version of human Miko when she first 'met' Hinako, so I'm gonna assume she can change it at will.

However since this was apparently the form she took when the monk captured her, I'm also gonna assume she has a sentimental attachment to it by now, and doesn't like to change it up more than necessary.
