Mamizou accused the child of being cursed and that she caused her hut to burn down, while others simply dismissed them as rumors, citing that the child wasn't present when her home had burned to the ground and just simply foresaw it burning down. Of course, that tanuki does have an annoying habit of spreading rumors about things she knows so little about, frankly. However, I can understand her feelings, as her home was burned down but that was due to an accident, not because a child cast a spell or anything of that sort.
Reimu being an oracle did attract curiousity and, to some extent, fear. Fear not because of what the child could do, instead, fear of what she'do foresee. She saw Mamizou's house burning down and it happened the day afterward, thus giving reason for the fear, as that would mean that whatever she saw would happen right after.
However, with fear, there came fascination as everyone wondered if Reimu would be able to see fortunes and things like that. They are unaware that her abilities are not triggered that way and that they are likely to be random, occuring at different points. Either way, the storm was coming and, despite all aspects, I dread the thought of keeping her isolated like she had been before. Isolation was something that had to be done to protect her from the storm that was coming.
It seemed I would have to send her to live with the satori sooner than I expected. Ran'll give me hell about it but, for the child's sake, it has to be done.
It will be another in a long line of regrets.
