Tatara was an abandoned/unused umbrella before she became a Youkai after god-knows how long. Sanae is just nipping things in the bud, and is breaking the unused/unsought umbrellas Kourin had in his shop.

Oh ic she's a Karakasa. Was kinda confusing since the past panels didn't put her in
There's a tradition in Japan, that unwanted tools should be broken to prevent them from becoming tsukumogami. From that point of view, Sanae's just doing a shrine maiden's duty.
...but doing that in front of an already-existing karakasa is just cruel. It'd be like seeing someone, and thinking "Hey, maybe we can be friends!" and then they get shot.

A half-youkai shopkeeper that never fights, and likely doesn't have the first clue how. A sword is useless if you don't know how to use it.
Well, let's go Kogasa-chan.Hm, I don't really like them...Miss?
lit. Ms.CustomerSeireisen 4komaSorry for intruding.Welcome...I'd like to have a look at your umbrellas...No, this is just youkai extermination.
