While we're at it, I'd like to thank everyone taking the time to translate these for the rest of us. (I saw different translators on the last few, so I'll just thank people generally so as not to leave anyone out.)
Piemur1 said: If she is claimed as their pet, and she becomes a "claimed umbrella" wouldn't that destroy her as a youkai?
Most fokelore I've read has it that an object has to be 100 yrs old before it manifests into a youkai or whatever. not anything to do with if it has a owner or not.
I also would like to take the time to express my deep appreciation for the translations. This Kogasa, this whole series, is just so wonderfully cute and fuzzy, no matter what is going on in my day, I can take a minute, pop out my phone and read the next one, and smile.

Which one do you like?So that means you're my owner?Do you get along with my big sister, Kogasa-chan?Kogasa-chan gets along well with Orin and Okuu, too.Okay, then from today on, you're a pet, Kogasa-chan!Um... well, I hope we can be friends.Hmmmm?Oh, I don't really mind being a pet... but...109That's kind of lonely...Crestfallen...
