If this was FS she'd have already found out.

To get some interesting discussion for this wise and virtuous hermit that I truly respect:

I heard once of a theory that the depictions in the manga (particularly FS and Horned Hermit, SSiB didn't really have a protagonist) reflect what the main character sees the other characters as. I hope the image explains what I meant.
Perhaps since Kosuzu is a village girl with no experience with youkai, the youkai are depicted with less than human eyes and even Aya had a threatening expression when she proposed a business deal with Kosuzu. She is a young girl, which could explain why Reimu is depicted as someone bad*ss and reliable, a sort of big sister figure she could look up to and feel safe with. Reimu also made a bunch of serious and nasty faces in FS, adding more to her cool factor. This series also had a lot of killing and dying going on, relative to the rest of the manga works.

Comparing FS with WaHH. Here the characters are depicted more often in a cute way. It could be said that this is how Kasen sees others, especially humans, who are not even close to infants compared to her age. Reimu in WaHH is probably the ditziest and most greedy depiction yet, probably a hint to how sensitive Kasen is to detecting foolish human desires as a result of her status as a hermit. Or a fake hermit.

This is an aside, but as I was rereading WaHH something neat came up. So it's already pretty darn obvious that Kasen is an oni, right? But we know that oni are a proud race that don't like to deceive and use tricks. Kasen lied a lot to protect her cover. Is this not uncharacteristic of oni? She did reel from the bean throwing and the sardine head, but could there be other explanations for this?

Also correct me if I'm wrong but one of her goals is to get to the outside world and get her arm back, right? I sure hope the TL didn't miss any important subcontext in chapter 20.

It's like my brain turns off when trying to imagine Reimu speak like this. Especially Harukawa Moe Reimu.

Did Suzu and Kasen ever appear in each other's manga? (even if Kasen was drawn by Moe-sensei in ULiL)
For that matter, I don't remember the fairies appearing in both of them either. Aside from a few cameos. (Again, Kasen did appear in Hirasaka's manga)
