I don't know the lore perfectly, so I relied heavily on Namuwiki (I've become a huge Chiikawa fan).
About
Small animal-like figures, excluding monsters, are called 'Chiikawa' (Small and Cute Things). There is a certification system for weeding (pulling grass) based on difficulty and efficiency. One can receive payment for laboring at weeding (the most common job). There is also 'Subjugation,' which involves defeating dangerous monsters. Although it is a hazardous occupation involving weapons, ranks (Levels 1–5) are assigned based on skill. Administrators (Armor-san) exist here to manage and oversee the society of Chiikawas who beg and those who perform weeding (labor). Monsters threaten or eat the Chiikawas. Chiikawas can suddenly mutate into terrifying forms due to stress, a witch's curse, or unknown causes. Delicious food may be left on the roadside or spring up from the ground, but since one cannot wait forever for food that might appear randomly, they also earn wages to buy food at shops.
