Rin Nohara Hole Filled:

For a long time now I've lamented the lack of scenes and lines with Rin Nohara.  But I knew that without a proper 'hook,' a reason for her to come into focus, it wouldn't work well to suddenly insert something in.

I finally found a 'hook,' a proper reason to be talking about her, and like usual it came in the legendary chapter 31, where sexual experimentation with all the girls is allowed to go wild.  The added section reads as such:

　　"Henge!" Rin Nohara crossed her fingers into a handsign and then disappeared in a puff of smoke. Emerging from the white vapor was the pure white-eyed, black-haired, busty-formed, fishnet-vest-clothed Hinata Hyuugu. It was so lifelike I thought for a moment she had actually somehow appeared here in Eden.

　　"Today is special, so I pondered what I could uniquely do best, and this is what I came up with." Even Hinata's voice was perfectly attuned. This was a truly potent ninjutsu! "Though technically, Mirajane could do it with her takeover magic, or Sakura Kinomoto could use Illusion, or Sakura Haruno could henge like me. . .so I guess it still isn't unique. . ." Rin Nohara started to lose heart and trail off, her head dipping even as her eyes rose to see what my reaction might be.

　　"But you were the first one willing to do it!" I dove in to cheer her up. "You're beautiful! I mean, you're always beautiful, but this is so far beyond my imagination!"

　　"I always wondered why you picked me instead of Hinata, so I thought, why not give him both?" Rin Nohara as Hinata looked back up into my eyes and smiled nervously.

　　"I chose you over Hinata because I felt ten times as poignantly over every word you said and every face you made and every thing you did than I felt with her. Tragic heroines like you and Wakaba have an otherwordly magnetism, an aura I just can't resist." I tried to express her ineffable aura with some wavy hand gestures.

　　"My life really was rotten, you know? Of all the luck, not only did the boy I confess to reject me, then you went and stabbed me through the heart! Is that really called for?" Rin Nohara pouted with both her cheeks puffed out.

　　I couldn't help it and broke out laughing. "I swear I didn't mean it that way!"

　　"But when I woke up here, I was in a wedding dress, and you leaned over and kissed me, and you've been making it up to me ever since. Thanks to your wish, I'm alive and loved, the best off I've ever been. So maybe I'm a little more grateful than the other girls, and that means I'm a little more motivated to please you than the other girls, and that means I'm a little more lenient with the definition of 'cheating.' I'll transform into any girl you want, for the rest of our lives, and you can sleep with a new fantasy every time it's my turn, so long as you promise to remember it's still me underneath." Rin Nohara promptly delivered on her promise by pulling down the sleeves of her shirt and letting Hinata's exposed breasts pop up in front of me.

Now, this caused a little trouble downstream, as it conflicted with some later scenes I had written, so I went and cleaned up the contradictions via some more helpful additions.  While debating with Cute-sama over augmented goggles, there now reads:

　　"Can you really say that when you're already having Rin Nohara transform into all your daughters' namesakes as is?" Cute-sama lifted her eyebrows at my shamelessness.

　　"Fictional characters belong to everybody. If we held to that standard, everyone who ever played Da Capo would be cuckolding me. But a girl's actual body still belongs to herself." I made the careful distinction.

And later on when Sailor Moon is playing dressup, I add an additional phrase to explain why Usagi's services are needed all the same:

    That's right. I had found a loophole around Cute's ban on my augmented goggles. If I couldn't lust after my children's bodies, if 3.6 times a year with the transformed Rin Nohara wasn't fast enough to cover the rapidly expanding field, I just had to dress up Sailor Moon in the same iconic character outfits and lust after her body. All 702 of them.

Now the scenes with Rin Nohara, Cute-sama and Usagi can all coexist.  Now Rin Nohara can finally get her first spoken lines!  Now another waifu gets to know why she's loved and explain why she loves Christopher.  Another plot hole filled.

I can't wait to get to read the new and improved version of this book for the 17th time, but before then I need the Healin' Good Precure to replace the current bad names still infesting my fictional character hall of fame.  Gambatte, Healin' Good Precure!
