At no point does anyone in this episode treat Izumo like the child she is.
Meanwhile, all of the household duties are handled by the foxes, who love Tamamo unconditionally.
Shes made fun of and isolated at school for being able to see fox spirits.

All that is destroyed with a few words from Souji, who as high priest shouldve really known better.
This is the fault of one person, and one persononly:Souji.
That night, its all Izumo can do to run off while the foxes protect Tsukumo from Tamamo.

She doesnt even have time to put shoes on.
Izumo asks if Maria will keep her cell door unlocked while shes gone.
She does, and Izumo leaves the room and is caught.

Not her mother, not Tamamo, and not Shima or Rin or Shiemi or Yukio.
The gang rescuing her from Gedouiin and the Illuminati is one thing.
Thatll be afartougher task.
