Machikado Mazoku – Episode 3 – Lilith’s Harsh Grading and Projectile Training

While Shamiko is asleep, she sees a blond-hair girl that she saw in her dream before.

From the looks of it, Shamiko’s ancestor, Lilith doesn’t seem happy with the progress that Shamiko is making. Still, I find it remarkable that she admits that the dark clan couldn’t defeat the light one. Even so, it’s amazing that she manages to put together a seating arrangement that looks like it’s from a food court. Shamiko seems amazed by it too, especially with the sign. The arrangement apparently came from Shamiko’s consciousness.

With that, Lilith ended up scoring Shamiko’s efforts as 5 out of 100. The funny thing is that Shamiko think it’s good because she thought the scoring system is soccer. In other words, Lilith ends up lecturing her and eventually try gulping down some coke. Towards the end, Lilith shares what Shamiko should bring to her as offerings. As you would expect, they are treats and magazines.

Sadly, when Shamiko woke up after hearing her mother say pancakes, she forgets everything from her dream after she tries to write it down. Yes, this is mostly because of her mother saying stuff she needs for her shopping trip. Not only that, the pancakes are not actually pancakes. Shamiko’s mother shapes them as pancakes, but made with rice and tofu. To make matters worse, Shamiko messed up while trying to wash her school uniform. She ends up shrinking it. It’s bound to happen given her personality. In other words, she Is stuck wearing her gym uniform.

As expected, Momo comes to the rescue by allowing Shamiko to borrow her spare school uniform. Somehow, it’s too big on her. Momo eventually hems it for Shamiko so it will fit properly. When she borrows her spare school uniform, she likes the idea of Shamiko doing her laundry and have high expectations for her. Not only that, Momo’s sewing skills amazes Shamiko.

Still, I wonder why Momo is willing to help Shamiko out. Shamiko eventually asks why while Momo trains Shamiko with a magical wand. Momo won’t tell the reason why. The funny thing is that when Shamiko says that she hopes that everyone will become friends, something comes out of the wand. While Shamiko tries to run away from it, the projectile that talked hits her. Maybe this is an indication that Momo seems to have a crush on Shamiko.

Aside from that, I wonder why Momo is so interested in Shamiko. Maybe Momo has a thing for Shamiko. Is it because of a certain quality she finds attractive in Shamiko? This might be the reason why she wants her do some house work or pile on some debt on her as seen in the preview. That way, Shamiko will lose incentive of actually defeating her. Then again, Shamiko might already have a crush on Momo, but doesn’t realize it yet. ¶
