Inori had just failed her short program in the national juniors competition and didn't qualify for the free skate portion, and so can no longer compete against Hikaru after having lost to her once already in her novice days. Hikaru had waited outside the venue for Inori, and catches her laughing and smiling with her family on the way out. Once Inori spots Hikaru, the mask breaks and she breaks out in tears as she runs away. Hikaru chases after her, and eventually finds her hiding in a bush, where the above scene takes place.

Going to post this but being alerted that it was a duplicate and that the original was posted less than a minute ago. A modern-day quickdraw, one could say.
The bunnysuit she was wearing the first time she appeared already looked straight out of an Eroge and yet they somehow managed to give her an even more lewd costume when she left the NPC jail. It's kinda amazing, tbh

Got the game for Christmas and finally started playing it at the start of the month. My first Rune Factory, and first impressions are “Really great”. Only other farming sim I’ve played is the original Harvest Moon via NSO.
I was talking about it with a friend, but cutting the ear like this is extremely cruel. I think it might be even worse than branding someone's cheek with a red iron.

Because the cheek, you can somehow hide it with a mask or long hair. It'll arouse suspicion, but you can try. The ears? The elves in Dungeon Meshi have extremely long ears, so any wound on it is immediately visible, and they'd be extremely difficult to hide, be it under a hood or with a prothesis, like they used after WWI to hide how badly disfigured some people were. So an ear clipping would be permanent, almost impossible to hide, and you can never recover from it. I'd have to re-read Dungeon Meshi to be reminded what kind of crime warrant that mutilation, but from the outside, it feels extremely strict.

That would be the only difference from a branding. I don't think it's nearly so disfiguring that not being able to hide it is such a big deal. If the criminal conviction is the issue you might want to hide then I certainly don't think this is an issue of cruelty. Making it easier for criminals to circumvent the whole point of these marks (letting people know that they've been convicted of some serious crime) would just be a way of subverting the intended function of the judicial system. If you don't think people should be able to tell from looking, then it's not the way of marking but the practice of marking in the first place that's the issue.
