Kyou's "idioms"

I feel the need to contest the replacement of the so-called "weird idiom" on line 79.

<0079> \{Kyou} "Are you blind? How does this look anything like a dog or a tanuki?" // Reword, substituted weird idiom-R23 // "Do you have marbles stuffed in your eyes? What part of this looks like a dog or tanuki?" // \{杏} 「あんたの目、フシ穴にビー玉つまってんの? これのどこが犬や狸に見えんのよ」

It's not weird, it's a defining point of Kyou's character to say things like that. Quite simply, she has a creative vocabulary and a tendency to string together unusual metaphors and expressions on-the-fly, as part of her everyday speech. There's nothing "weird" about it; I have the exact same habit in my real life conversation. Anyway, changing that sarcastic aspect of Kyou is like removing Ayu's uguu~s because there isn't a proper english equivalent. It's one of the main elements of her personality that makes her stand out as an individual character. Not meaning to let my Kyou-fan bias show or anything. . .
