The aftermath from the recent battle...Botan has to seek new protection and home.

It was a somewhat slower paced episode but it's cute to see her in a cooking apron. Maybe they're setting things up again with their preparation again. Hyouma seemed pretty eager to protect Botan in any way possible.

Botan has matured as a character even more and hyouma is also starting to improve and he will do his best to protect botan and it looks like botan's feelings towards hyouma is increasing but in another hand the paper umbrella tsukunogami makes it's move.

I find it very interesting that almost all workers in Saenome are male, not sure if the majority are human or spirit though.

A light that shines as bright as a light trap huh. Considering whats inside her poetic i think. Given what happened its a given that Botan's guardians would need to re eval their defences which would include Hyoma. Yu leaving some protection for Botan though was cute. Its just like Botan to find a way to help others when she's staying with the Kadomori's. But the reaction of their men to her was just priceless. Hard to hate someone that acts and looks like a human right. Curious to see how Haori and the others would fare in that ambush though.

Another awesome episode. Really showed off both Botan and Hyoma growth.

Botan learning about the umbrella Tsukumogami theory was sad to see. Just the idea of that being the reason that Hyoma siblings are gone was heartbreaking. Of course that’s not her fault, but given how she likes to shoulder so much responsibility she’d take it that way.

I loved seeing her volunteer throughout the complex. The reason so many of them were badmouthing her was because they don’t know her. Just like irl, when you get to know someone face to face and actually speak to them a lot of those preconceived notions go out the window.

So while she was doing that to help put her mind at ease, she was also improving her relationship with the staff. 4D chess from Botan. I mean come on, look at how cute she is. No one’s able to hate that face 😂

Hyoma’s little sparring match was dope too. It seems like a lifetime ago when he thought all Tsukumogami were evil and should be wiped out. Now he sees them and their weapons as valued comrades and protectors.

Andddd the least shocking twist ever. The Yamachita gathering was obviously gonna be a set up. Kagami’s nervousness was for a reason it seems. Can’t wait for next week to see who that Tsukumogami is that ambushed them.

What else is Botan supposed to do besides mope in her room? I'm glad she decided to work and help out which also enables her to meet other members of the Kadomori estate.

It sucks about the ambush at the end there but with the large group I think Botan's protectors will be ok. The tsukunogami does appear to also be an umbrella type (like the last one they sealed) which makes me wonder if its the one that killed Hyoma's siblings.

It's nice see Botan helping around instead of staying depressed. She has come to admire Hyoma a lot. Was expecting some trouble to appear for Botan's tsukumogamis and it did.

I had a feeling they would get intercepted on the road. And what's more? It's by another paper umbrella, which confirms there are multiple. Is it Hyoma's mark this time? I don't think so, maybe they'll save that closer to the end of the season.

Another thing is who do the paper umbrellas work under. Are they independent, in league with another faction or maybe they're hired hands? My guess is one of the latter two. A paper umbrella went out of their way to set a trap and execute two future leaders of the Saenome. My bet is the hit was placed by the rival Saenome group(one of the big 3, forgot their name). How else would the paper umbrellas know where the bridal trousseau were headed? I hope they make it through this one, things are lookin real sticky

That umbrella drop onto car bonnet at ending was like. woah, wtf is about to unfold.

Im glad too see botan an mc getting along and starting to require they should get a room. Its clear they do in an understated way.

The guy testing MC with his new equip and him sparring pretty well was also good. While also admitting he didnt know how to use its powers properly.

Botan being botan all eps

Next eps pls!

Botan's marebito is in danger, though Representative Kadomori clears the air on her behalf of the past events that led to the present day, including the activation of the paper umbrella tsukumogami which Hyoma's Kunato family would encounter much later. Hyomas' sudden confrontation with Nagi, continuing from the last time, this is much serious than the last, though Hyoma still has a ways to go on his training. Haori calming things down with a celebration, though this happy moment will not last forever.

Haori sent off to the Yachimata with Botan, and with it, the Nagatsuki Bridal Trousseau is off. Botan working in the Kyoto Saenome office while she's on watch, at least Kadomori can rest easy, though getting calls from his fellow tsukumogamis about her, though she's fine. The Bureau coming in with the rock stance, Botan's seemingly cut off from the world, though the Bureau easily clears the remnants of the tsukumogamis to ensure Botan's safety.

The paper umbrella tsukumogami are proving to be the tricky ones to outwit...

What the fuck is Nagi's problem now. Is this asshole ever going to be done attacking Hyouma for no reason? How did Hyouma get over his "prejudice" so quickly when the tsukumogami he associates with are always trying to kill him?

So a build up to whatever that might happen in the next episode, could have been better.

What a way to end an episode XD.
I think the blue paper umbrella is the one who killed Hyoma's siblings. Blue got drip.
