Cover page for a new doujin for Winter Comiket.

Oooh, I wonder who the guest cast are going to be in this one? Woods and mushrooms implies Marisa, but she's more of a chaos-and-larceny type in this series.

To answer my own question: Yes, it's Marisa. While mostly about woods and mushrooms, she does get in some chaos, larceny, and fleeing through improvised doors.

And it's up. Slightly longer than the last one, 16 pages, 26 4komas plus splashes (including an adorable one of Kyouko in various Western winter outfits). https://www.dlsite.com/home/work/=/product_id/RJ274373.html

Summary: Kyouko's out food shopping and runs into Marisa. Horrified at Kyouko's meatless menu, Marisa takes (almost in the kidnapping sense of "takes") Kyouko mushroom picking to add a bit of zip to the Buddhist diet. Instead of finding fungi, Kyouko finds a fairy. Marisa then attempts to kill everyone. Everyone responds negatively to this.

Cast: Marisa, Eternity Larva, Ichirin, Byakuren, Unzan's Fist of Righteous Beatdown. Kyouko, while the star, spends a third of the comic incapacitated.

Notables:

We get one quick callback to Marisa's trip to Koumakan.

Marisa's broom has changed slightly: Same basic janitor's broom design as always, but the bristle area is closer to a normal household broom in size.

You know how we give poisonous mushrooms names like "Destroying Angel" and "Death Cap"? A wordless comic has to resort to visual horror to convey the same thing. The Forest of Magic has some nightmarish toadstools.

Eternity's drawn really cute, particularly when she sleeps. For the curious, she's shorter than Kyouko but not properly tiny like Koakuma or Lily.

Marisa's house exterior is very similar to its depiction in Immaterial and Missing Power and Strange and Bright Nature Deity. The inside is roomy with Western furnishings and a modern bathroom (with running water).

For the second paid-for comic in a row, it ends with Byakuren smiling mad. Also, if Ichirin and Byakuren not only team up but implement tactics to make sure you get the worst what-for they can give you... forget it. You already lost.
