While she's exposed to a lot more than the average student in School Garden have ever been in, a good number of the incidents were kinda like, she just happened to be there because... Touma. ... Before I start picking, I need help on terms... I forgot what RSPK is.

At least in Level Upper and Sisters (and others I have poor memory of) she is mostly aware of what is actually going on, but for the rest... I'd say insufficient situational awareness. While she does everything in her power to help, I don't really think she has much idea of what is really happening in the big picture (like in Volume 12/13, she helped to keep the Hound Dogs off Touma and Index because one was going to fend Vento off while the other was going to rescue Last Order, with both of them setting goals to save Kazakiri who has turned into an Artificial Angel-like thing and is causing havoc but Mikoto doesn't know this, of course).

While the initial problem was her lack of understanding seems to stem from not having anyone to provide intel on what's really happening, I'd also say that the other half of the problem lies in her puzzling lack of resourcefulness to get that info. She had her chances where she should, but didn't expend it.

We all know how her interaction goes when Touma comes into screen, but I don't really want to blame this... but considering how a lot of stuff that happens somehow tend to revolve around Touma in a way or another, I can't hold back from doing that much.

For this volume, we are however presented with Misaki being the more helpful one, but I can't really take her actions for granted yet for the time being (Backstabbing in Index happens at times you'll least expect it to, mind).

Some people might do it seriously, but if you say "having fun with what's going around Touma," then I admit I am part of them

Really, I can have fun shipping Touma with anyone, even with characters not from his series, as long as I find that idea amusing to laugh at. And I bet there're people crazier than me in this regard
