This one was fantastic as well. I wouldn't care if it was OOC since you managed to make it so interesting, so I will say that this is a great thing for you to have put together.

Now that's what you call ingenuity. I guess that while it's generally best to dress like a guy when travelling, being a girl has it's uses. Very clever, both on Kino's part and yours.

Another excellent fic. Two things I really liked:

- you start quoting the Koth-Shem's speech right when Kino abandons the "feign ignorance" plan. Very involving for the readers.

- you fit a bit of humor into a serious plot without causing a clash. Likewise with your own plot elements and the show's.

Kino gets kicked around a lot in this one, but she's still in character. Corina and Gant are given just the right amount of attention.

Grade A stuff. I hope to see more.

Good work as always, thanks for letting me know about it. I like how you're recreating the loosely connected nature of the anime, which you're doing a good job of by the way.
