i. 8/16-8/30: you're half the man i am
[ It can't get any more ironic. The morning after Obon, a box of butter is delivered to Mondo's doorstep. You might...
1) Find it before he does, if you walk by the warehouse nearby the school early in the morning. Did Mondo start a new business? Who knows.
2) Spot Mondo staring at the box of butter. He'll think it's some prank that someone pulled on him. He might visit the Velvet Room to see if the attendants know anything. Or are they behind all of these random items that come out of nowhere?
3) Be invited by him to have some, or for a cooking session. He doesn't even cook that much so he'll probably give it to Terry otherwise, maybe? The hell does he do with 80(???)kg of butter... It says 80kg on the label, but it's light and weighs at most 1kg. However, when they scoop there seems to be endless amount of butter...? ]
ii. 8/16-8/30: we're gonna accelerate till dawn
[ Later that evening, people might notice a large shadow floating on the air, until it finally is dropped just a few centimeters away from where Mondo is... The crows are working hard to deliver it to him, but the fall certainly did some damage to it ー especially since the motorcycle is self-built. He has so many questions, but before that he'll do some reparation work so if you stop by, he can show you how to fix a bike, or if you ever want a ride from him anytime in the month after the 16th, he's game... if he likes you. Then again, he likes a lot of people in Hirajiro, so that's a thing.
He'll also start some delivery services now that he has motorbike!! Hirajiro's first Uber? Maybe... ]
iii. 8/20-8/30: neko neko neko nyaamii nyaamii
[ Mondo is almost scared of waking up every morning because something just suddenly come up without warning, and today is no different. He wakes up to 5 more kitties on top of the one he already has. So now he has to father 6 cats... He doesn't know if he can take care of them all, and Lia the tabby (his first cat) isn't very excited with his attention that are now have to be split among the other five.
He'll walk around the town with them trotting behind him, trying to see if anyone wants to adopt one or two. He'll keep them if no one does... Maybe if anyone wants to help him name them, lol, he's always relying on other people for names... useless. He'll also allow people to play with them as long as they're gentle! You can decide where you see him in town because he'll literally walk around the whole town trying his luck. ]

So Mondo manages to get a secondhand galapagos cellphone that can send photos and text, also do calls but not video calls! Feel free to bother him through phone calls or texts, he's not very tech savvy but he can text. You can also order some delivery through him... lmfao maybe if the attendants want his services... ]
v. anytime in august
[ Apart from working at Hoshino Carpenters, where a middle-aged couple work on carpentering services as well as some wood crafts, Mondo has his own side job of making trinkets and smaller wood crafts which doesn't have to go through the Hoshino's. If you want to commission him for a gift for that special someone, he's here. He'll also hold some impromptu workshops too and is more than happy to teach people how to make things! Despite the large bara fingers, they're quite nimble.
Other than that, he'll be at the dungeons to collect items and $$$. He wants to save up for phone (which he'll have towards the end of the month), so he'll find every ways possible to get all the dollah. He will still be around even after he gets his kaching because nothing wrong with getting more money! If you want to team up with him, he's down. He'll be in every floor except the fourth, he's here for your Fire and Physical attack needs. He's also gotten Tetrakarn so he can reflect physical damages, if that's a thing that you need! ]

Eventually, she notices the cats roaming around inside the store through the window, and picks herself up to head inside too, careful not to let any of the kittens escape out the door when she enters and working on trying to herd them closer towards Mondo so they can all keep together. It's sort of a lost cause. ]
Did you find everything you need? Beds and collars, right? You'll probably need a lot more cat food to feed everybody now that you have more than just Lia.
no subject
The look in Mondo's face is probably one that Kido has never even seen before - his pupils are huge and his brows are doing the thing like he looks concerned but his cheeks are pink and he looks so excited it's gross. ]
Hah?
[ He lets out a stupid noise when she calls out for him, finally tearing his eyes from the adorable puppy before them, then quickly returns to the usual sharp grouchy face looking at his shopping basket. ]
Yeah! I've got a bunch. [ He sighs, but it sounds more like a content sigh than exasperated one. ] Gotta take up more jobs to feed them all every week, heh. [ He can sort of tell what's gonna happen to his wallet, but then again, he can't abandon them. ] You should look at these, tho', Kido!! Ain't these real cool?!
[ He'll show off the collars he's chosen with care. Like this!! Or this!! Or this!! ]
Not gettin' the beds tho', 'cuz I figured I could just make them myself. That way I can personalise it and shit.
[ It's a lot smaller than human beds anyway, it's gonna be a lot easier. ]
no subject
Kido's prepared to act cool and collected once she's inside the store and there's a shopkeeper and other customers around, but all pretenses drop immediately when she sees the collars. ]
Oh...! Look at the little ties...!
[ imagine flowers blooming all around if this were an anime, because wth that's so cute, the cats would look so dapper with little tie collars ]
You know how to make cat beds, Mondo? Look at you, a doting cat dad.
no subject
Right?! Ain't they neat?
[ He grins proudly, face melting into a dumb happy one. There are indeed flowers around them now... have this mental image of Mondo and Kido prancing around in flower field with cats around them, nbd. ]
Heh heh. I've done somethin' like that before, tho' it was a for a bunny. [ He'd be careful and say rabbit instead of bunny, but he's way too far gone at the moment to realise that. ] If ya got cats, I'll make some for them, too!
[ He'll go and pay for all that, and head off towards the exit. ]
Aight you guys, let's get goin'!
[ He then looks at Kido. ]
Oh, right. I haven't named them. Ya wanna name 'em, Kido?
no subject
Can I really name them?
[ Does Mondo really want Kido naming his cats, though? Because Terry let her name five of his and the ones she came up with were Hana-chan, Aiko, Saki, Kouji, and Ren. Mondo's going to be the one saying all these names out loud in public, not her. ]
no subject
If only Mondo can show Maizono's bunny to Kido... Mimi's an adorable spunky lil' poofball, she'll definitely love her. ]
Yeah, go ahead! I'm real bad with names...
[ It's okay Kido, Mondo's been giving the duty to name all his pets to other people because if it's him it'll be something like Tiffany or Beyonce or something. ]
no subject
But okay, yeah, Kido will save the kittens from being named Beyonce. She thinks for a moment and then proposes her names: ]
Ringo, Ichigo, Nashi, Anzu, Mikan.
[ What cuter names can you get than food? ]
no subject
[ Mondo laughs. ]
But that's pretty cute. I like 'em. Ya guys hear that? Danchou's named you guys, so be proud of that!
[ The kitties watch him with ??? around their heads, but they just follow his lead out of the store, while Lia tries her best to go further ahead. She has to be in front, or else!!11
Eventually I'll do proper profiling of them cats... ]
Yer not gettin' any pets, Kido? Since you like animals a lot and all.
no subject
Anyways, there's the names, but Mondo has to assign them to each cat. ]
Huh? ...No, I don't think I'll get a pet. They're cute and I like them, but then I'll go home, so...
[ She's still of the opinion that she'll go home and die, and it wouldn't be fair to keep a pet in that case. She'd just be building a family and tearing it apart in her selfishness. ]
no subject
And aye aye ma'am, he'll do that! He already has them in mind!!! Mostly. ]
...Heh, that's what I thought too, back in Wonderland. Even here. But both times they suddenly just... came into my life.
[ Ah shit, he totally shot his own foot. Mentioning Wonderland makes him miss Komo quite a lot. :( ]
Funny story, I got a dog out of a fuckin' cupboard back then. Kinda crazy, huh?
no subject
[ It totally sounds like a fairy tale name, which makes Mondo's story about the dog even less believable. ]
You broke into somebody's home and stole their dog?
[ What are you doing raiding cupboards, Mondo...? ]
no subject
[ He might look tough, but his heart is Hello Kitty... Kido... ]
Remember when I tell ya 'bout the different universe I was in? The place was called Wonderland. If ya ever read the book 'Alice in the Wonderland'... apparently the world was based on it.
[ Well, it's his fault for not providing context, so he'll fill her in. ]
We lived in some kinda... mansion? It was kinda like castle, sorta like the one we came from. Everyone's got a cupboard in their rooms, and they can get whatever they want from it, 's long as it's within reason.
[ It has never really come up in conversations, so he hasn't actually talked about this to anyone else but Kurusu, but now that he says it aloud... it probably sounds like a whole load of bullshit. ]
no subject
Cute. You used your wish cupboard to ask for a dog.
[ If she's understanding right how it works?? Getting whatever you want from it. ]
no subject
N-No! I didn't ask for a dog specifically!
[ Why is he embarrassed... ]
I was just thinkin' that I needed somethin' healing when I opened the cupboard and... a beagle just jumped out of it.
[ Yep. ]
...Someone actually told me not to wish for pets just in case we go home, so I was real careful not to do that...
[ Called out. Alas. ]
no subject
[ She laughs like she's... laughing at him... But that's even cuter than asking for a dog outright, the idea that being around a cute little puppy is Mondo's idea of healing. ]
I guess that's what they mean by being careful of what you wish for, though. I hope you took responsibility instead of stuffing it back inside the cupboard?
no subject
[ He doesn't look really irritated any more than he's embarrassed though. ]
...Yeah. I did. [ The look in his face sours slightly. ] But in the end, I left him alone when I got here. I sure messed up...
no subject
...You had good friends back there, didn't you? I can't imagine you wouldn't. So it's not like you left him alone when you came here. Trust in your friends that he's been left in good hands.
no subject
...Well. [ As long as they don't get sent back home either. But that's a good prospect to think about. ] Yer right. My friends... they actually like Komo a lot. Even this asshole monkey who always gets on my nerves.
[ He will forever be bitter that Sakamoto was actually the one who named Komo... >:| ]
Oh! D'ya know Kurusu? He's actually friends with that guy. Well, given they came from the same... uh. 'Universe', anyway.
no subject
I know Kurusu... I've only heard a little from him about where he'd come from before, but it sounded like a horrible place. Is that "Wonderland" where the three of you came from? He said something about being trapped in a building and made to kill one another?
[ Akira had no qualms leaving a place like that; he was glad for it and Kido was glad for him too. ]
no subject
Nah, Kurusu was from another place... dunno what it's called. I thought we came from the same universe back home at first, 'cuz I was in a similar spot before I came to Wonderland.
[ Haha... ]
's fucked up to know that there are, heh, 'killing games' happenin' somewhere else. We compared stuff and the happenin' was different, but 's still the same kinda crazy.
[ If it sounds like he's putting it lightly, it's because he's trying his best not to think about it too much. He knows what happens when he does. ]
Wonderland was a different universe I was in before I came here. It's... [ He doesn't know how to describe it. He can't say he liked Wonderland. But he's sure he doesn't hate it either. ] ...a place where I got my second chance in life, I guess.
no subject
With those thoughts in the back of her mind, she looks up from where she'd been staring at the ground the entire time Mondo was talking, fixing him with a steely gaze. ]
A place like that isn't a "life." If anything, making it to Wonderland would be the first life. Even over here, don't think of it as a second chance. You only have one life, Mondo— you're still you, and you carry the weight of the past on your shoulders, but you're stronger for it and if there are days where it gets too heavy, I'll help out. So none of this second or third chance thing, okay? There's no need to start over.
[ Some people fuck up again and again and again, trying to do things over every time, but that's not how it works. There's no chances in life. You just keep going with what you've got. ]
no subject
Kido needs to know.
He must tell her.
But his voice won't come out even when he finally reopens his mouth.
He's afraid. It isn't like Wonderland, where he can detach himself and let them go, where he could think that even if they didn't want anything to do with him anymore, he deserved it. That hasn't changed, and it's not like the people he met in Wonderland mean less than the people here. But he's finally found a place where he belongs here. A gang, which goal isn't to break but to protect. It's the closest thing to family he could ever have.
He told Terry. He told Rei. But that was because he didn't have control in his emotions.
But Kido... it's hard. She has grown to be a figure that he looks up to, and cares for so incredibly much. He doesn't want to fail her. He doesn't want to disappoint her. He's lost count of how many times Kido's given him a push on his back, how much she's supported him with her direct, straightforward remarks. She has never adorned it with lip service, and that's what makes him feel he can trust her so.
There's no way he can tell her right now. He isn't ready for this.
He turns away, trying to avoid meeting Kido's eyes as he gives her light smack on her back. ]
...Heh. Thanks, Danchou. I know I can always count on ya.
[ This is where he should say 'ya can count on me too, aight?' but nothing comes out. He can't say it today. It's so hard when he knows he's lying to her, even by omission, when she trusts him so. ]
no subject
She would trust him with her life. And being told that she can be counted on makes her beam, with the thought that she can count on him too being something that doesn't have to be said. Of course she can count on him; he would never let her down. He would never betray her trust, that she gives so sparingly now, after years of having it broken. ]
Yeah, you can always count on me. Whenever you have a problem, I'll be there to fix it. And if I can't I'll find somebody who can. All you ever have to do is ask.
no subject
Ya wanna drop by? 'm plannin' ta work on their beds after this.
no subject
Sure, I'll come by. I've never seen where you live... I know it's not exactly a house, but there'll be ways to make it homier, like plants or a rug or something. We'll see.
