Free food, free lodging, job mostly involves standing in one place all day, and there's practially nobody around who's more competent at it still.

If I was a bit bigger and didn't have the time limit of having less than 100 years to do something decent with my life, I'd do it. Sounds like an awesome job if you have the traits for it and don't mind little variation.

In China, they eat everything. Nearly.

Everything that flies and doesn't run on kerosene (gliders, human powered airplanes and model planes are free game).
Everything that swims and isn't a submarine (olympic swimmers may also be an exception).
Everything with four legs that doesn't have IKEA somewhere on it (this is why designer chairs tend to look like random clumps of frozen snot).

Get back up there and consume the trolls.

Does she see in the dark, though?

If I don't recall wrong, the chief argument against Rumia being a grue is that she can't see in the dark at all.

Medical? No, no, she causes people to go night blind, then undoes it after they eat her eels.
I don't know how often she does this. That's a pretty easy trick too see through, yet her stall is still pretty popular.

Meiling is actually a leprechaun in disguise. She wears green, looks Irish and fights with rainbows and shitty rip-off Ki. She disguises herself to protect her identity in Gensokyo, because if the others knew what she was, she'd have to be on the run 24/7 because people would constantly be trying to catch her for her pot of gold (plus they're after her Lucky Charms).

If she quits working for SDM, then her real status will get "accidentally" leaked to Aya, and then it's all over.
