"Hasshaku-sama?"  Shina asked, looking toward Tomoko.  Well, the Tanuki had never heard about it.  "Tall?"  So, this tall Youkai or ghost would kidnap children to... Do something.  If it was a youkai she assumed that it would just eat them.  "Entirely fictional?" How interesting.  She reached into her clothing in her current diminutive form and pulled out her smartphone.  She clicked on her device for a few seconds before looking up Hasshaku-sama. "Tall woman... Po... Alright..."  The tanuki gave a small sigh before poofing back into her normal form.  "So, we're going to get someone for bait.."  She looked between Akari and Hina. 

"Hmmm~ You know, I think a randoseru would look really cute on you, Miss Zashiki-Warashi~"  Before the Zashiki-Warashi could notice, Shina was right behind her and wrapped her arms around the girl's shoulder.  "If we dress you up in that elementary school uniform and randoseru and gauge the spider's reaction, I'm sure we'll know if you're like to be kidnapped~."  She then released her and wandered over to the spider and patted her on the shoulder.  "Look at that, Miss Spider, we can make good use of your deranged preferences in women... Or, perhaps I could say, lack-thereof." The tanuki giggled a small bit, enjoying being able to make fun of everyone a small bit.

Shina then wandered over to Homura rather quickly, "So, Homu-tan, don't you agree with me on that?  Hina could completely be bait, right?  What do you think~?"  The Tanuki was lightly nudging the human girl in the side a small bit.  "Too bad you and me are too big to be bait~"  Shina teased, handily ignoring the fact that she could transform to look like a school girl.
