"Nowadays...Most shrine maidens are college students who need money, girls supporting themselves. That doesn't make them any less of shrine maidens. It's always been like that, we're just more honest about it now. But what makes me Ultimate is...I am a shrine maiden in a more traditional sense; my training is more traditional, and I am one of the twenty-one living spirit mediums in Japan, too."

"To judge someone's capabilities on their lineage...Is a little silly. It discounts all the hard work that they put into their skills. I may be a Senge, but that isn't why I am the Ultimate Shrine maiden."
