Mizuki and Midoriko talk about the shrine they're going to put up in the middle of the town. Mizuki says it's just a place for people to gather and pray. They don't really have a lot to do with it, though, because there aren't a lot of people to pray with. They're just there to help out, Mizuki jokes. He's got a question for her: what's the best way for a woman to dress? Mizuki makes a body pillow that's super comfy, but she's not sure how to use it. She asks Mizuki if there's a way to get up and down stairs without having to use a wheelchair. He says there are some places that allow you to pay a fee to get into a shrine, but he can't think of a good way to do it. He suggests that they go to the main shrine at the top of Mount Ashi, which is inaccessible in the winter because of a massive snowfall. There's no way to pray there, he says, because the shrine doesn't even have a god on it. The only god Mizuki can think of is a swordman who's been training with Mizuki every day for the past two years. He thinks the swordman is becoming "quite monstrous" for a human being. He also says that the word "curses" isn't just used to describe curses. It's also used to talk about curses in general.
