Kozushit didn't recognize Aya as a tengu even though Aya's elf ears were sticking out the entire time until Aya put on a different hat. Confirmed: the essence of 2hus is their silly hats.

If an artist draws a Touhou without any defining characteristics (clothes, hat, etc..) then it is often hard to identify them.
I wonder if I could trick people into thinking I'm Aya if I steal her hat.

why is kozusu so rapeable

It's easy to tell Aya because she's a skinny boy with short black hair who's a door to door newspaper salesman
>>15698721
Because she's a little girl

To be fair, there are probably a lot of skinny boys with short black hair in Japan

Is there a torrent that gets uploaded with each release?, fuck with reading from imgur, I hope he would just upload a file to mediafire like before.

Aya herself said she is a tengu, thus Kosuzu reaction. It's not about the hat, it was Aya's mouth.

Perhaps a human with a weird ear defect, possibly, or a really big fairy.

Must suck to be Kaguya. She basically has no identity in Gensokyo.

Nah, without the hat I'm sure Kosuzu would have just laughed off the customer's silly joke.
The hat makes it clear that Aya is a dangerous, powerful monster that shouldn't be trifled with.

The scene demands R-18 works

If saying it was enough Aya wouldn't have made sure to bring her Tengu hat with her and then gone through the elaborate hat switch mid-conversation
Face it: 2hus are defined by hat
This tengu need to get blown up.

There's a simpler explanation: Elves are not monsters, Tengu are. No one's going to be scared of someone just because they have pointy ears. They may just be a pansy-ass, tree-loving, beardless elf. It's when they reveal they're a vampire or demon or tengu that you can be properly afraid of them.
