Second, she already knows something is different about Mikuru by observation. Indeed, she already knows that something is extraordinary about the whole SOS dan... except Kyon, wholm she considers "the same as me, because you smell the same".

Concerning the "smell"...

Spoiler:

There's an interesting theory that the farther away someone was born from you, the more you can sense it -- I've actually noticed it though I think it has to do more with subliminal cultural clues. Imagine now, standing next to someone who was born in the Betelgeuse system (assume they look like a normal human) which is about 300 light years from Earth. This little idea was used in Hitchhiker's Guide when Ford is explaining to a barkeeper that the Earth was about to be destroyed. Rather than think Ford a loony, the effect hit the barkeep like a sack of bricks that this person was so alien that they must be telling the truth.

I like Tsuruya's metaphoric description of her feeling... "you smell the same".
