She's number 2... at danmaku.
Quite an exceptional feat for a human, but still far from what certain youkai or gods can archieve with their unique abilities. Unlike them she doesn't have any, she's just very good at magic.

I don't think this is necessarily an inferiority complex or depression. She doubts her abilities as a magician, so her being upset makes sense since it's what she's supposed to be good at.
Anyone trying to learn a skill like drawing or learning a language knows that after reaching a certain level you might consider yourself good at it, but at some point you will inevitably realize just how much there's left to learn.
Here she tried too hard to find something non-existent due to a false assumption, she was overconfident and ultimately discovered someting she's not good at. Turns out you can't understand something that doesn't exist in the first place, even if you're using all of your knowledge.

But it only took some sake and words from Miyoi for her to use this failure as an opportunity to go back to her researches and try something else, definitely not what a depressed person would do.
Well we'll have to wait for the next chapter to know if whatever she's trying to do is a success or another failure, but to me this chapter just shows how hardworking she is. She can have moments of doubt, but always ends up learning someting new in the end.
