@rabidfish I think it's one of the most important emotional moment for Mieruko-chan, after years of being silent and holding on alone she finally have someone to rely on.
Maintenance will be performed on the forums for the next couple of days. Expect some downtime.
Did anyone think they were "kind"? I thought general opinion was that, at best, the Shrine Deity there is one in the Old God sense, where there isn't really "good/evil" but just plain raw power and worship. They may bestow boons upon humans who make the right offerings, do the right rituals, or sometimes from chance/whim, but they're super dangerous and seemingly minor missteps may result in huge damage/curses. They're [Not Human] and definitely not friends or "kind", they may be useful to those who know what they're doing, are pure/dedicated enough, or are truly desperate. But not who anyone (sane) goes to as a first resort. Or 2nd, or 3rd...So, I'm assuming the Fox shrine priestesses are not as kind as we thought?
