Pretty much. It seems that just about all changes to the world done via Haruhi's powers are retroactive and Muggles remain completely unaware of them. If Haruhi brought people into her world, then as far as ordinary people were concerned, those people had always been there.
As I happened to stumble across this particular thread I was amazed at what I found. Not only a rewrite of the novel (already read a bit), but also a dedicated community whose goal it is to create an awesome Visual Novel.
Looked into the matter of downloading it, but couldn't find it anywhere. Though I saw (possibly) all the relevant raw material (images, scripts, even walkthroughs) for creating such a fine piece of game here.
Sooo I was hoping if anyone of you could tell me where I could actually find it or if it has been aborted (which really would be a shame) or anything of the likes? After reading through all of this stuff I was already getting sooo excited about it, so please don't let me hangin' there. ^^

Glad you like our stuff!
Unfortunately, the VN's on a definite hiatus. But, we are working on little things to contribute here. I'm working on genderbending some Disappearance screencaps, and Kaisos is working on sort of an AU story.
I'm sitting on standby for discussion purposes, as my tasks were never story or art.
Yeah, I think we need something new to discuss in here.
Maybe if I can get Kaisos in here, we could probably discuss something Disappearance-related.
(I mean, I doubt he'd want to finish writing it, but it's still a discussion.)
Huh, so you're saying the project's not finished, I'm surprised, looked like it'd be enough content already. Thanks for the quick reply anyway!
Too bad about the hiatus however, are there any speculations on the progress so far? (I don't want to sound annoying or anything, but dayum, I'm really hyped. :P)
And Disappearance is also going to be relevant, wow. Gotta be a real BIG project, I'm fascinated.
Quite frankly, it was too big. We don't have enough dedicated artists to possibly come up with all of the content. As much as I personally would like for the VN project to start up again, we would first need to find people who are willing and able to do this stuff for free.
All right you primitive screw-heads, listen up! See this? This... is my fanfic! It's a twelve-page chapter of a magical girl story starring Kyonko. Seitenkan's one-and-only. You can find this on page 1152. That's right, this sweet baby was made on AnimeSuki. Doesn't even cost a dime. It's got talking cats, magical powers, and a guy in a funky magician outfit. That's right... shop smart: shop Seitenkan... You got that?
Ahem... sorry about that. I wanted to make a brief joke and kinda just kept going with it. Anyway... after yet another five months, give or take a few days, I've finally managed to finish this... though I had wanted to post this yesterday morning. Ah well, can't be helped.
Get on with it...
Er, right... so, without further ado, here's part 3 of what, looking back, probably should have been called "Mahou Shoujo Yareyare Kyonko" or something.
For the sake of convenience, here are links to the previous two parts, even though they really shouldn't be too hard to find.
Where were we again? Hm... Haruki had just caught up to me after my futile attempt at escape, then dragged me along while heading towards a loud noise, and then....
"Are you an alien? Or maybe from the future?! This is awesome! BEST WEEK EVER!"
"E.. eeeh?!"
… He ran after a random person and started shouting at him, that's right. Is "alien" really the first thing that comes to his mind when he finds himself in this kind of situation?
{cue cheesy intro music}
THE ADVENTURES OF KYON-CHAN!! Episode 03!! Raging Conflict and the Signing of Destiny?!
Now, I have to admit, Haruki really does have every reason to find this person suspicious. While it's nothing too outlandish, his outfit doesn't exactly look like something you'd normally expect to see. Not like "normal" has been a word I could use to describe the last few days of my life, mind you. Anyway, the person Haruki was yelling at was wearing a red jacket with gold trim, with a yellow shirt underneath and what looked to be white dress pants, along with a red hat of some sort. He also seemed to be wearing a pair of white gloves. Basically, he had on what looked to be some form of military uniform. Of course, I suppose the strangest part is that the person wearing said uniform happens to look like he's a middle school student.
However...
"Come on, out with it!"
"Um, I, uh... I mean..."
... That's certainly no reason for Haruki to harass him like this.
"Well?"
Just settle down, okay? He probably can't even think straight with you yelling at him.
"I'm... I'm just an ordinary person, honest!"
"Claiming to be ordinary just makes it less likely you are."
Seriously, Haruki? You're actually going to accuse... um...
"… M... Mitsuuru Asahina..."
Thanks. You're going to say Asahina-san here is strange, simply because he's saying he isn't?
"Does he look normal to you, Kyon?!"
I know what you're thinking. The smart thing for me to have done probably would have been to run away while Haruki was occupied. In fact, that thought did cross my mind, but there were a few things preventing it. The first would be that I was also a little curious about this situation, and another perfectly good reason would be that I needed to make sure he didn't start blurting things out I'd rather Haruki himself didn't know. Mainly, though, it's simply because he never let go of my wrist. Of course, any chance I had of escaping disappeared as suddenly as the circular device in Asahina-san's hand started beeping. With it, the expression on his face suddenly changed from nervousness to one of concern.
"What's that thing?"
"Would you believe a pocket watch? Besides, there's no time for that now."
"That doesn't look like a-"
"This area will become very dangerous soon. Please leave before escape becomes impossible."
Around this time, I had started feeling a sudden chill, as though the north wind were redirected to blow exclusively on me. And, almost as if on cue, the person largely responsible for my recent misery made his appearance known.
"Another interloper has appeared, it seems. I wonder, how is it that you are able to move? No matter..."
The masked magician's attention turned to me, as if he didn't even care about the answer to the question he had just asked. And while there weren't any people around frozen in place to confirm it, it's probably safe to say another of those pocket dimensions was formed judging from what he had said.
"Do you possess a spare feline? I seem to have misplaced mine."
"Are you the one responsible for the imbalance in the local area?"
It seemed as though Asahina-san didn't like being ignored. Not that I'm complaining, mind you, as I'd rather not be the center of attention. Really, if I have to have this sort of life, is it too much to ask to only take a supporting role? Maybe even just an occasional bystander? Please?
"You are certainly persistent, I will give you that. I will deal with you momentarily. Right now, my interests lie solely with the girl."
I'd rather not be involved in anything you're interested in. In fact, I'd like to go home now, preferably without anyone following me. Thankfully, it was around that time Haruki decided to finally let go of me, so I had taken the opportunity to distance myself a little.
"You'd also drag innocent civilians into this? I can't allow things to go on like this. Stop what you're doing immediately!"
"So you truly wish to get involved in matters that do not concern you? Very well, it appears I have to deal with you sooner, rather than later."
Also not wanting to be ignored, a certain other individual decided to speak his mind at this point. Not like I'm really surprised, mind you.
"Now just hold on a minute! Aren't we all forgetting about someone? Tall, rugged good looks? Added to that, a super-genius, skilled athlete, all around great guy, and quite humble to boot. That's right, I'm talking about the one, the only, the amazing... Haruki Suzumiya! And that's me."
What are you, an idiot?! Do you have any idea at all what's going on? Not that I really care what you do with your life, but I'd rather not have it on my conscience that I let someone get himself killed if I can avoid it.
"Hmph... fine, whatever."
Sigh... Just when did my life become a Saturday morning cartoon, anyway?
After taking a step back, it seemed the magician was preparing something. Suddenly, he extended his arms outward, and from each sleeve came what looked to be strips of paper with intricate designs on them. With a simple gesture from his right hand, the strips, which I guess were some sort of talismans, began circling around him in a counter-clockwise manner, and he then brought his hands together in front of him.
"Girl, please watch closely. This is what can and most certainly will happen to you if you continue down this path."
The magician then brought his hands backwards and underneath his shoulders. Suddenly, the talismans stopped with two directly in front of him. As the magician thrust his hands forward, Asahina-san moved his right arm in front of him, as though he were holding some form of weapon. Knowing what the magician was probably capable of, I tried to warn him, but was cut short.
"Take cover, now!"
Suddenly, a pair of energy balls shot forward from the talismans, though they looked a lot faster than the one from yesterday. Not wanting to see if they actually hurt, I jumped out of the way, with Asahina-san, and surprisingly Haruki, doing the same. Go figure, he actually does have some sense.
"What the heck were those?!"
If I had to guess, I'd say magic. Just a hunch, though.
Asahina-san stood up and moved his arm back into the position it was in earlier. However, this time I got to see why.
"Serial five U two dash four K, initiate! Ignite the battlefield!"
A red light appeared around his hand. As it faded, an unmistakeable object appeared in his hand. There's no denying what he was holding was a gun, though it didn't look quite like what you'd expect. For one thing, it was red with a golden barrel. Also, with its general shape, it kinda looked like it belonged in some science-fiction movie.
"I can't guarantee I'll be able to protect you, so find a safe location and stay there until this is over. If that isn't possible, get as far away as you can and don't turn back."
Taking Asahina-san's advice, I grabbed Haruki's tie and dragged him behind some trees. A rather surprisingly effective way of getting him to go where I want, I have to admit. We were just close enough to see and hear everything, but far enough away so we wouldn't have to worry about a stray energy ball or whatever else he may have hitting us.
"You show concern for others in the midst of battle? An honorable trait, I must admit."
"If they stayed here, you may have tried to attack them."
Asahina-san pointed his gun at the magician and fired. As to be expected from its appearance, what it fired wasn't a physical object, but rather some form of beam.
"I have no intention of doing so. You are my opponent, not them."
The magician raised his hand toward the beam, and the talismans converged in front of it, forming a shield of some sort, and they managed to deflect the attack somehow, causing it to veer into the ground to the left of him. Naturally, I wasn't the only one surprised by this, as Asahina-san's previously calm composure was noticeably shaken.
"J-just who are you, anyway?!"
"My name is of no importance. However, if you must call me something... 'Phantom' should suffice."
Phantom, as he put it, then twisted his wrist, causing the talismans to swirl around, generating what appeared to be a small tornado of sorts. As it approached its target, the tornado ripped rocks and small chunks of dirt out of the ground, leaving a rather noticeable trail in its wake. Asahina-san thankfully managed to roll out of the way in time and fired a few more shots. As to be expected, 'Phantom' deflected each shot that came his way.
"What the... Hey Kyon, look around that Phantom guy's feet."
Just what are... you... What is Asahina-san shooting?!
Looking at where the deflected shots landed, I had seen what Haruki was going on about. Whatever kind of beams that gun produces are apparently hot enough to start a fire on impact, as the ground around this 'Phantom' was scorched in several places. At least that explains what he meant by ignite the battlefield. Now that I think about it, maybe hiding behind a tree wasn't a good idea after all.
"That's really putting the fire in firearm, right Kyon?"
Seriously? You're really going to make jokes at a time like this?
"A reckless attack. The flames from that weapon cannot hold a candle to me."
"Hm... if that's the case... Serial eight Y four dash K zero, initiate. Tear the sky asunder!"
A white light appeared around his left hand. Sure enough, another weird-looking gun appeared, though this one was white and silver. If the other one burns things, what's this one do? Of course, that was the least of my concerns, as if this day wasn't bad enough already, a certain cat decided to join in on the fun.
"So that's what all this is about. What interesting devices that boy has. Is he a friend of yours?"
Sort of. What are you doing here, anyway?
"And to think I traveled all this way to see you. By the way, I suppose it's safe to assume that one's still aware of everything?"
Shamisen glanced over at Haruki, who was too busy watching the fight to notice anything, then turned its attention back towards Asahina-san.
"One producing fire and one able to tear seemingly anything apart? If I didn't know any better, I'd swear they were magic."
You mean they aren't? Could've fooled me.
"Of course not. You know the saying: Any sufficiently advanced technology..."
You never answered my question, you know.
"Right. Well we were interrupted earlier, so I figured I'd try and finish what I was saying. While you do possess latent magical abilities, without a device to use as a focal point, you'll never be able to use them properly. You'll also get a new outfit out of it, for some reason. Never did figure out how that works."
Get to the point, already.
"Impatient, aren't we? To put it bluntly, I need you to form a contract with me. Don't worry, you don't have to sign anything, it's entirely verbal. Not that I could write one out, being a cat and all. Basically, I need to know you'll be willing to work with me before I can give you what you need to actually fill the so-called 'magical girl' role. And while I'm not trying to rush you or anything, it looks like your little friend out there could use some assistance."
The cat was right, unfortunately. While our Phantom stranger didn't seem to have a scratch, and seemed to be in the same place he was at the start, Asahina-san looked like he took a few hits while I wasn't paying attention, and he was obviously getting tired. Looking around, it seems the white gun really does tear through things, as it looked almost like giant claw marks were all over the place, along with more scorched grass and upturned dirt. I'd hate to be the one who had to explain all this damage to someone.
"Have you had enough yet? This is getting rather tiring."
Asahina-san fired a few more shots from the white gun, which almost looked like swirling energy disks, and another couple of fire beams, all of which meeting with talismans instead of their intended target. Dejected, Asahina-san threw the guns to the ground, where they vanished just as suddenly as they appeared.
"What's going on? Why can't I even hit you?!"
"While they are impressive, your weapons simply don't have enough power to penetrate my shield. I would suggest trying a stronger one if you wish to leave here with a shred of dignity."
Hearing this, Asahina-san got down on one knee. He then positioned his hands as though...
"What, is he going to pull out a rocket launcher or something?"
Right, thanks for chiming in there, Haruki.
"I didn't want to use this, but I guess I don't have much of a choice. Serial six three N dash eight U, initiate. Break the ground in two!"
"This should be amusing."
The jet-black device that appeared in Asahina-san's hands looked rather unusual, to say the least. It had a long, thin handle, almost like a metal pole, and on the end pointed towards 'Phantom' was a large, almost cylindrical head. The other side had what looked to be some form of weighted end, which I guess was for balancing purposes.
"Time to use my secret weapon. Miracle beam, fire!"
... Were you expecting something featuring a group of Japanese men in orange uniforms descending from the ceiling? My apologies, for there will be no liberation in the portion of the day immediately following sunrise here.
Spoiler for B-Part:
Phantom put his talisman shield back up almost as soon as Asahina-san fired his latest weapon-from-nowhere. The 'Miracle beam' was certainly a step up from what he had been firing, as in addition to forcing Asahina-san back by quite a bit, the incredibly large blast fired was enough to leave a pretty obvious trail of destruction on the ground. Do his battle cries really have to be so literal? How about "Defeat my opponent without causing extreme collateral damage!" for the next one?
"Quite a shot, I must say. You humans and your technological advancements never cease to amaze me. Just a little more and..."
So we went from 'he needs my help' to 'he'll probably win' just like that? Thanks a lot, cat.
"Please don't interrupt me. What I was about to say is that a little more and he might have actually done enough to turn the tables on my old partner."
Sure enough... Phantom apparently managed to survive the blast, though he wasn't in the same place he was standing before it was fired. In fact, he was moving rather rapidly towards Asahina-san. Are his feet even touching the ground? Without hesitation, Asahina-san prepared to fire again, but Phantom grasped the weapon in his hands, pushing it to the side.
"W-what?! How can this-"
"Something like this should not exist. Where did you get it from?"
Phantom's voice had an almost uncharacteristically angry tone to it. I hate to say it, but he's definitely right. There's no way something like that could even be conceivably possible. Not like anything else has seemed real lately. Asahina-san, however, seemed to have gained a little confidence.
"It's a standard issue device for dealing with large hostile creatures, though it also makes for a handy backup plan when taking down particularly dangerous criminals... And that would be you."
Did he just... it looked as though Asahina-san actually smiled there. Wait... large creatures? Why would he have something like...
"It's starting. Kyon, was it?"
What's starting? Wait, now even the cat's calling me that?
"I'd suggest you make your decision now."
Just then, I felt the ground start to shake, and the air around me felt thinner.
"… I see... Very well, then. You should have no problem dealing with this."
Suddenly, a large, blue... something burst out of the ground... what's that thing supposed to be, anyway?!
"Huh. Looks kinda like a fiddler crab. Only bigger. And blue. Also a lot more menacing."
Really, Haruki? That's what you have to say about it?!
"What are you waiting for, anyway? Aren't you supposed to be fighting that thing? I mean, that is what you do, right?"
Over in the open space where the battle was happening, Phantom seemed to have disappeared, as usual, while Asahina-san was firing his cannon at the blue crab, which was using its large claw to defend itself. While it did a pretty good job of destroying the landscape, Serial whatever didn't even leave a scratch on its current target. Either that claw is some kind of super shield or laser weapons are completely useless against it... whatever it is.
"Okay, Kyon. What I need you to do is simple enough. You need to defeat it before any more damage is caused to the surrounding area."
Is there a reason for that last part?
"It will be that much harder to clean up the mess if you don't, would it not?"
Okay, fine... even though I'll probably be kicking myself later if I somehow manage to survive this mess, I guess I don't really have much of a choice, do I? What do I have to do?
"Excellent. First of all, please give me your hand."
Seeing as I had no other choice, I extended my hand toward Shamisen. After watching the cat sniff my fingers for a bit, I felt a sharp pain as it bit into my flesh. Ow, was that really necessary?!
"Did I forget to tell you this requires trace amounts of the contractee's blood? Forgive my rudeness, I won't bite you without warning again."
Again? How many times do you need to bite me, exactly?
"Now, I need you to repeat after me while extending that hand in front of you."
Even though I was already regretting my decision, I did what the cat asked.
"Okay then, let us begin. 'Power draws into this hand.'"
Power draws into this hand...
"To end the blight across the land."
… Do I really have to say this?
"Yes, it's an important part of this."
Okay... To end the blight across the land...
"Hey, could you two hurry it up? No one cares about this stuff, you know."
"A once-lost flame, now be revealed, and shine upon that which was sealed."
A once-lost flame, now be revealed, and shine upon that which was sealed.
In this hour, please heed my plight. Magical force, unleash the light!
At this point, it seemed like the parts of my brain controlling sight and basic motor skills shut down. All I could see were bright, multicolored lights, and my arms and legs started moving on their own. Also, I felt oddly cold. Almost as if... wait... You mean that really happens?! I... I mean, yeah. I knew that something had to result in the rather obvious changes, but... wait a minute...
The next thing I knew, I was standing with one hand on my hip and the other in front of my face, with my index and middle fingers in a V-shape surrounding my eye. More importantly... Haruki, what did you see?!
"Not much, unfortunately. After you finished your little speech, you kinda exploded into a big ball of light for a bit..."
Oh... okay then...
"… Gotta say, though, nice outfit! Suits you a lot better than the bunny girl look."
Oh, right, I almost forgot. The ever-present magical girl costume that, more often than not, tends to lean more towards visual appeal than practicality. Not surprisingly, this one was certainly no exception. While the bracelets are okay, the rest certainly leaves something to desire. I found myself wearing a pink dress with a skirt that barely manages to actually cover anything and ridiculously puffy shoulders, an apron above that, and... a corset? Going down farther, I seemed to have incredibly long, white socks covering my legs, along with a pair of small, black shoes. Am I supposed to be a waitress or something? How am I supposed to fight in something like this?!
"Not sure if the twin-tails look fits you, though."
Like I really asked for your opinion. Hey, cat. What's the meaning of this, exactly?
"Didn't I mention the outfit? If you don't have a clear image of what you want to wear, your powers simply manifest something from your mind. In your case, that seems to be a waitress outfit."
Can I change back and get something better? I can't wear this!
"Not at your current level, I'm afraid. You'll just have to make do with what you have for now."
So what about that focal point or whatever? Don't I get a staff or something?
"How preposterous. You'll need to keep it with you at all times in case of emergency, so a staff wouldn't be very useful for a high school student. Lucky for you, what you seem to have are a pair of bracelets."
These? What am I supposed to do with bracelets, deflect bullets?!
"They could be used for defensive purposes, yes. For the most part, however, devices allow you to manifest magical energy."
Fine... Since you've been such a big help so far, would you mind explaining how I'm supposed to fight that giant crab? At the very least, you could tell me how I'm supposed to use these.
"You could try spinning while focusing on your hands to form a barrier. That might work."
Might?! You mean you don't even know if it's going to work?
"Well, a new contractee is always a learning experience. Everyone is different, after all. I only suggested it because the last person with bracelets could do that. She could also create incredibly large fireballs and fire laser beams from her hands, but let's stick with the basics for now."
"Hurry up and fight the crab already! Watching Mitsuuru get beaten up is starting to get boring."
After stating that, Haruki started throwing rocks at the crab. I don't really think it noticed that it was being hit, as its attention remained fixed on Asahina-san, who was still firing away with just as little success.
I really wanted to get things over with and get out of the waitress outfit as soon as possible, so I figured trial-and-error would be better than listening to the cat not telling me what I can and can't do. Does someone out there hate me or something? Seriously...
"W-wait! Stay back! You could get hurt!"
Thanks for the concern, Asahina-san, but you should probably be worried more about yourself.
What did Shamisen say to do, again? Spin around to create a barrier, was it? Well... it's not like I had any other ideas, so I decided to try it. What I created, however, wasn't the kind of barrier I was expecting. After a full counter-clockwise turn, I noticed a few red crystals spinning around me at roughly shoulder level. Is this a barrier? How are these supposed to do anything?!
Unfortunately, unlike Haruki's "Rock Throw" attack, the blue crab seemed to have noticed what I did, as it started moving away from Asahina-san and towards me. Great, now what do I do?!
"Try running into it!"
Seriously? Haruki, how stupid do you think I...
"I knew it! Video games one, common sense zero!"
… I honestly could not believe what I was seeing. I really didn't want to believe it, either. The instant it came in contact with one of the flying crystals, the crab reeled back as though it were in pain. As much as I really hate the thought of listening to advice from Haruki, ramming the crystals into the crab really did seem to be the most effective strategy at this point. However, just when I started to move towards it, the crystals disappeared. You mean there's a time limit?! Making matters worse, I couldn't exactly create more, as the crab started making swipes at me with its gigantic claw after regaining its composure.
"Get out of there or I can't shoot! I might accidentally hit you!"
While I really would have liked to listen to Asahina-san's advice, the crab seemed to be faster than me. Even worse, I was getting worn out while dodging its attacks. So, out of sheer desperation, I tried punching at it, focusing every ounce of my strength into that one attack. If I could just knock it off balance, I figured I'd be able to get out of Asahina-san's firing range while it was recovering.
Suddenly, a surge of energy shot out from the bracelet as my arm was fully extended. This would have been great... if it weren't directed backwards.
"Hey, Kyon! Can't you aim?! You're supposed to be attacking the crab, not yourself!"
Don't you think I know that?! And it's not like your rocks are doing much better. Besides, even if that did hit the stupid crab, it wouldn't have helped any. If anything... huh...
It almost felt like my body was a lot lighter. While I wasn't sure what happened, I didn't want to pass up this opportunity. I immediately moved to the side of the crab, trying to make it so I wouldn't be in the direct line of fire of Asahina-san's cannon. Realizing he most likely wouldn't hit me anymore, Asahina-san took position and launched his attack.
"Perfect! Miracle beam, fire!"
This time, the blast from the weapon managed to cleanly hit its target. I guess its claw really is a shield, as with one shot, the crab was sent hurdling backwards, finally stopping on its back. Just when I thought things were all over, what appeared to be a shoe suddenly flew from Haruki's general direction and hit the crab squarely on its head, causing it to start moving again. Why'd you just throw a shoe at it?!
"I wanted to see if it was still alive. Besides, I ran out of rocks."
"It... it's still alive? What is that thing?!"
"Well, don't just stand there, Kyon, finish it off!"
Alright, already. As it was the closest thing I had to an actual attack, I recreated my crystal barrier and ran as quickly as I could towards the crab. After being battered for a bit, the crab started convulsing, so I stepped away. As I watched, it twisted and contracted, until it finally took the form of a small, blue gem. Just as I was about to pick it up, I noticed Shamisen had left its hiding place and was sniffing at it.
"You certainly are an interesting girl. Not only is that a highly unusual use of what is supposed to be a defensive technique, but you also seem to possess an ability I've never even heard of before."
Okay, cat. First thing's first, just what was that, anyway? Crabs aren't generally that large.
After hearing my question, the cat stopped what it was doing, sat down, and looked directly at me. What came out of its mouth next was something I'm sure Haruki would be overjoyed to hear.
"Would you believe... an alien?"
{cue outro music... which is also incredibly cheesy}
And so ends my life as a normal girl as I walk foolishly into the world of magic. I'd like to pretend the last few days never happened and that I've just been dreaming everything, but there's no point in trying to deny the truth. Whether I regret the decision I made or not, I can't hide from the fact that I'm a magical girl. All I can do now is hope I don't end up getting killed, and that nothing else horrible happens as a result of this. More to the point, I should really see about getting some answers from that cat, though I don't think I'll get much cooperation out of it. I suppose I should probably take the fact I survived this mostly unscathed as consolation. Which reminds me, I really need to remember to have this hand disinfected as soon as possible.

Really colorful and exciting to imagine, given the dialogue and the way you describe everything.
Haruki is pretty funny in your fanfic too.
You've completely nailed Kyonko, I think.
Thanks for the comments. With all luck, it shouldn't take 5 months to do another... it'll take 6!
... And I'll be kicking myself if it really does take me longer than the last two.

I always liked the stepping-on-the-other-self bit in that scene, and having Kyonko grabbing her other self's ponytail at the same time is a nice extra touch that keeps it from looking like a simple copypasta genderflip of the original.
Oh God, I'd love to see (or at least hear a fan reading of) it. So. Much.
Seriously, fandubbers who are Kyonko fans need to come out of hiding and do this for me.

Thanks! It was either Danchou's or Kaisos' idea, I forgot who.
Did we come to a consensus on what type of blade Ryo decided to use?
Well if it's longer than 30 cm, we can have the awesome dramatic effect of Kyonko being pierced right through with it and the point coming out of her front . . .
