Probably need a translation to make sense of it all, I suppose.
My guess is that that's the way Kaguya's immortality works in the comic - she dies, is reborn as a baby, then grows to her original state in a short matter of time. Probably wrong. :P

Huh, so that's why no one really cared about the mother. Because it was just Kaguya reincarnating...
Damn, I really good story. Though I wonder what would happen if Okuu met Kaguya. And does Kaguya remember that Okuu cared for her, or she just likes that bird toy because it makes her happy but without knowing it represents Okuu?
And as a bonus, this means we can go back and edit the previous pages to have people call the baby 'it' a little less often. (Although really, we should have known it was a girl from the beginning. It's Gensokyo.)
I just realized something, with Kaguya being the baby all the fuss about her being safe, not being able to take the heat, etc. was for naught. She would have been fine no matter what happened.

But they didn't know that it was Kaguya, they though she was just a human baby who wound up underground.
...So, basically, if Okuu had just been allowed to hold on to the kid, she would have eventually been revealed to be Kaguya and non of that heartbreakingly sad stuff would have had to happened?
Kaguya would have returned to her normal form, probably thanking Okuu for taking such good care of her, and then gone back to Eientei. This would have given Okuu proper closure for the whole thing (having sucessfully "raised" Kaguya and everything) and the entire affair would probably have made the two of them friends for life.

The fandom has beaten Kaguya with the "NEET" hammer for so long, it's apparently a shock when people find out that she's not a lazy do-nothing who just internets all day. It gets boring after a while, so these sort of things are nice to see.
Lunarians apparently also have higher magical inclinations and a more sturdy, robust DNA code, not that anyone other than the kappa would be able to know the latter.
It occurred to me today (read the comic yesterday) that making the baby an infant Kaguya lets the reader see that Okuu didn't just love the baby, the baby loved her back. A normal human baby wouldn't even remember her if there was a flash forward.
I try to hold down my emotions as I read it all up to this point, but I just need this one last page to break off everything I've hold up. Though it's uncertain what happened in okuu's side, having kaguya treasures that little bird simply left me at a loss for words.

Y'know, I wouldn't be surprised if that's the only reason the baby didn't die way sooner, which would mean that it really was even more dangerous for a human child to be underground because even a lunarian immortal like Kaguya couldn't take the heat (as a baby, but still...).
