Maybe think of it literally as "Chigusa, the status of with-smiling-face-you-are-able-to-be-here has become so numerous that I can see/notice [the status]."

Also, キュルル is the sound of a growling stomach. 日本語資源 - Nihongoresources.com
Thanks a lot for the explanation, Kyle. I get it all now The name is Chihaya by the way.

Regarding the audio questions, I've just managed to solve it with the help of a friend, so I'm not asking about it anymore. But I still would like to ask about ホッとする, since this is fairly important to me. Would someone mind answering that question of mine?
