Eh, I suppose. I've generally seen her pulling pranks in this strip, though, not setting up anything genuinely deadly.

Two strips later and Kogasa was forgotten again

in the next strip she is found in a bamboo-spike pit trap

Wait, garlic is considered a worldly desire that is forbidden in a Buddhist temple?

Not that I was planning on signing up to become an ascetic anyway, but that seems pointlessly strict...

Ascetic, man. The point is that it's strict.

Also most people wouldn't consider garlic or onions to be a form of indulgence, at least not in the west.

Garlic, onions, and all others of that particular family "excite the senses." The whole point, even down to the diet, is to release oneself from material and sensual things.
