That fairy is armed though, bro. She has brushes up the wazoo and she's not scared to use them. She probably also has a foulmouth from here to tokyo to scare off more agressive mamono.

Added to that, he only needs to see very few mamono in person as he can just ask other high-tier mamono for discriptions and drawings of their followers.

Ask a Inari and she will tell the WS about every Zipangu mamono around.

Ask Druella or one of her subordinate scribes and they will tell about every Demon Realm mamono around.

Ask any group of farmers and they will tell you about every common mamono seen around.

It's easy enough to think about. A wandering scholar would ask everyone he came across about various sightings and such, no wonder he can document so many different mamono on his own.

(For all we know, he's even missed a few 100 more species by not asking the right person or mamono for info. Damn ratatoskr..)
