"It exploded?" Himeko raised an eyebrow, "sounds rough. Hope no one got hurt."

Presumably there wasn't any major injuries incurred by any party, or else Himeko was terrible at reading the atmosphere. And at the very least, she'd probably would've overheard some gossip about it. Even in Tokyo, word got around like it was a small, tight-knit community. Given Hanako's disposition however, the shrine maiden hadn't expected her to awkwardly imply she was looking for a sleepover, on account of her own bedroom missing a pathway to it.

Himeko had no problem with helping her out, of course. The spare room was pretty much a place to store old trinkets and unfit for habitation, but her room was plenty big enough to store an additional, adorable girl for a few nights. The main issue, naturally, was that having a guest over made it substantially more difficult to do magical girl stuff, especially at night. Unless Hanako was willing to believe and comply with the idea that she had to perform secret rituals during the night that no one should witness, the shrine maiden was going to be inactive for a bit. And it wasn't the best time to be taking a holiday, unfortunately.

Still, with Nico earnestly begging the miko to take her in, Himeko figured she couldn't refuse either way. Even the most cold-hearted of villains would struggle to resist the pleas of two cute girls!
"Well, it's no issue for me," Himeko shrugged, her lips curling into another playful grin, "but you'll have to bunk with me in my room, Hanako-chan~ I hope that's okay for you?"
