"Kito"

The name alone was enough to send a shiver down any person's back. The name behind the infamous "Kito-gumi". Headquartered in Shizuoka city, it boasts a high rank among the other yakuza gangs. And oddly enough a woman, Sakura Kito, runs this group as the head of Kito-gumi.

So what was a glass artist from the countryside doing staring straight at the Kito manor’s gate? Well, after fudging up his own teammate's gift to the other Shizuoka team member, Yano was ordered to bring a gift. A birthday gift to be exact. One from the pun-loving scientist and one from himself. A simple task… If walking into a den of predators is simple enough.

He'd only been to the estate a handful of times, being able to count each time on one hand. But even with that experience, he wasn't like Kensaku who could stroll into the gates blindly with a smile on his face! If anything, Yano's typical demeanor coming into the Kito-gumi property was in tears. Standing in front of the gate, he could just feel the emotions welling up just behind his eyelids.

'Maybe I can get away with dropping this by the door?' Glancing around, the artist tried to spot something akin to a mail slot or box to set his gift next to. Anything to get away without having to meet with Sakura face-to-face.

"Hey, you there."

As soon as the voice called, Yano was quick to drop the two bags he was holding and sprint away. With incoherent wails to not hurt the artist fading away, the two Kito-gumi underlings watched as the dust settled, cautiously moving forward to inspect the bags.

~

After some thorough investigation and a call from Kensaku Morimoto assuring there isn’t anything malicious in the bags, the gifts from the two Toyama team members were safely delivered to Sakura Kito. Neither of the gifts contained no letters, the only clue hinting at their purpose being the tags addressed to Sakura from each respective member.

From Kensaku, his bag contained two things. Some whisky, apparently produced in the Toyama territory, and then some… Kamaboko? Fish cakes, but they’re shaped into intricate designs that one doesn’t typically see in stores. And odd gift choice, but what else would one expect from the eccentric older man. According to the phone call from Kensaku which the underling relayed to Sakura, one of the whisky bottles is meant to be shared with Reika as an apology gift for missing her birthday.

Yano’s bag was much smaller. Wrapped carefully in tissue paper, the contents of the bag revealed a lacquered box, decorated with little cherry blossoms on the lid. Opening it revealed a pair of earrings with colored glass colored a dark black with intricate metal cones meant to dangle underneath. Tucked under the lid in front of the mirror, a slip of paper fluttered out. It read:

'Not a gag gift. Hope you like.'

Somewhere in Shizuoka…

Ring, ring!

“Sniff… Hello?” Sniffled Yano, having finally caught his breath running for who knows how long.

“So, I heard you ran away.”

Upon hearing the stern voice, Yano started to panic. “W-What the hell do you expect old man!? I don’t chill with yakuza guys!”

“It’s still rude of you to drop the gifts! What if you broke my whisky? Those weren’t cheap!”

“Like you have money problems.”

A moment of silence pierced the conversation before the scientist retorted back. “...Maybe I should let Reika know.”

“‘Bout what?”

“That you almost damaged my gift. Again.”

“H-Hey, no! DON’T YOU DARE-”

Beeeeeep…

Dejectedly, Yano stared at the screen of his cell phone, having seen that Kensaku had childishly hung up on him mid-sob. With a heavy sigh, Yano had to wonder, “...Haven’t I been through enough?”

“He did what?” Sakura laughed as one of her men explained the gifts she had received had been literally dropped off by one Yano Ietsuna. “I knew he was a bit of a coward but to run away like that! Hahaha!” 

Sakura couldn't help but find Kensaku’s taste in gifts amusing. The kamaboko looked almost too good to eat but that wasn't going to stop the yakuza boss. Picking one up and taking a bite of it. Sakura savored the taste. She had always loved traditional foods. The whisky he had given her was nice as well making a mental note to hand Reika her bottle later. God knows she would drinking most of it by the end of the night. Her teammates especially Kanon made her want to pull her hair out sometimes. Sakura cared for the mad scientist she really did but parasitic flesh-eating bacteria? Yeah, that was a lot.  

Sakura gently pulled out Yano’s gift and admired them. As much as she thought Yano a crybaby his craftsmanship was impeccable. Pulling out her current earrings Sakura switched them out for the ones Yano had given her. They were surprisingly light and she liked the more feminine vibe it gave her. It made Sakura wonder if she should start being nicer to Yano. Nah. Sakura took too much amusement in making him nearly piss his pants in fear. Suddenly an idea crossed Sakura’s mind.

“I wonder if I can bribe Kanon to go down to Yano’s shop and scare him?”

[saitama-division]

The day was going well for the leader of the Saitama division’s team. At this point of the day, the sun was beginning to set, giving the area a warm orange glow to the city. A vast array of friends have come and gone, giving their gifts to the ever-so-kind Sayaka. And then…

Knock, knock, knock!

Drumming at the door of the Miyuki household a certain scientist, more specifically Kensaku, stood at the doorway with a gift basket filled with an array of fruits and vegetables, along with a small letter tucked into the edge of the basket. He seemed slightly nervous, but that worry seemed to wash away once the door opened up and he was met with a somewhat familiar face.

“Hey, good evening! Delivery for one birthday lady.”

Handing over the basket with a smile, Ken began to blabber about the basket.

“Apparently there’s a bunch of in-season stuff put into that basket from the Rikiya farms. Asato-kun insisted on putting that basket together for you and tagging along with me on my errands, but…” Gesturing to his car parked a bit away, a very sleepy Asato could be seen in the passenger seat, dozing in and out of sleep. In the split moment that Kensaku pointed him out, Asato could only give a weak nod in her direction, before sinking into the seat and succumbing to the claws of slumber. Kensaku chuckled at the younger man’s sleepy mood, then turned back to Sayaka. “I think the drive really drained him. It really is a long drive from Toyama over to here. Work is work though, right?”

Backing away from the door, Kensaku started to wave goodbye.

“T-The envelope is from me. It’s not much, but I figure you could use my gift to treat yourself and maybe even your daughter. I’ve got to get going though. I can’t have Mrs. Rikiya worrying about her grandson. Happy birthday, Miyuki-san! Enjoy the rest of your day!”

Before Sayaka could have a chance to say much else, Kensaku had already gotten into his car and taken off, leaving her with the big basket. So… What exactly was inside?

Asato seemed to have taken a lot of care into making the basket as it was quite heavy and overflowing with all sorts of food. From simple things like persimmons, peaches, ginger, cabbage, apples, and tomatoes, to some more impressive things like the giant honeydew melon and a jar of homemade jam, most likely made by Asato’s grandmother. Tucked away was Kensaku’s present, which was just a simple envelope addressed to Sayaka containing 10,000 yen (roughly, I mean very roughly 100 dollars). It wasn’t much, but it showed that the Toyama team were thankful for Sayaka’s support.

Much later, somewhere in Nagao…

“Did you give her the card?”

“H-Huh?! Oh, you’re awake…” Kensaku shouted, before lowering his voice back down. Focusing on the road, he could only sigh. “No, I figured it was too cheesy.”

“Really?” Asato tilted his head at the older man.

“Yeah? You overshadowed my sad excuse of a gift with your crazy gift basket. I get that you and your grandma wanted to thank her and her team for your birthday presents, but you could’ve at least given it to her on your own.”

“Sorry. I didn’t mean to steal your… Show.”

“It’s fine. I’m sure she liked both of our presents equally! Right?”

“Right…” Asato could only stare at the smiling Kensaku. Even to Asato it felt obvious that Kensaku cared about his gift a lot more than he was letting on. But instead of prying, Asato snuggled back into his seat, letting the rumble of the car soothe him back into sleep.

Sayaka waved goodbye with a smile at the furthering vehicle and turned back towards her house, careful to not let any of the produce slip out of the basket and closed the door. Setting the basket on the dining table, she was surprised to see just how much was placed into the basket, not to mention Kensaku’s gift, which may not have been much but it meant all the more to Sayaka to know that he went out of his way to give her something. She couldn’t help but to smile, grateful towards the Toyama team for such a lovely gift.

“So who was it from this time?” A voice spoke up and Sayaka jumped before quickly turning around to find Lola leaning on the doorframe with her arms cross, a coy smile on her face.

“Lola! Goodness, you started me!” Placing a hand on her chest, Sayaka couldn’t help but laugh a bit. She stood aside so that Lola could see the gift for herself, “Ah, Morimoto-san and Rikiya-san from Toyama came by a moment ago, they gave me this wonderful gift.” She held up the envelope and gestured towards the basket.

Lola nodded thoughtfully and walked over to the table, she seemed impressed by the gift basket Asato put together, nodding in approval before turning towards Sayaka and the envelope, peaking over her shoulder, she gave an unimpressed hum, “10,000 yen? Seriously?”

Sayaka frowned at Lola’s response, finding her tone disrespectful. “Lola, Morimoto-san drove all the way here from Toyama, that’s at least a 5 hour drive with no traffic, plus, he could have just wished me a happy birthday, it’s the fact that he went out of his way to even give me something in the first place makes it a nice gift!”

Lola’s eyes widen and she stepped away, putting her hands up in surrender. “Whoa! Okay! Okay! I’m sorry, you’re absolutely right. Damn, honeybun…is there something I should know about?”

“Hmm?” Sayaka tilted her head, “What do you mean?”

“It’s just that, you seem very…passionate to defend that Morimoto guy, since when were you two such good friends?”

“We are friends.” Sayaka nodded. “At least, I’d like to think so.”

Lola just stared at her for a bit before nodding slowly. “…Okay, sweetness, okay.”

Thank you for the gift!

Yuno’s Thoughts On Toyama Division

Asato Rikiya

“Toyama’s agricultural farmer, Rikiya he’s called. I’m not one to act obvious, Although I hear he’s quite the blank slate. Barely any personality I can sense currently from him… It isn’t all blurry, grey areas though. I can tell the bond between him and his teammates is strong, So he isn’t entirely to blame with having no personality here… I’ll see if I can search for more information, Maybe Rikiya is more than meets the eye somewhere around there…”

Yano Ietsuna

“Ietsuna, Rikiya’s best friend? How nice~…He’s a glass artist? Hmm, That is new in my books of occupation…Ietsuna seems like a nice person out there, Being the supposed ‘comical’ guy out of Eco BOON and all, I imagine. Hm, Maybe I’ll drop into Toyama one of these days…Who knows, Maybe I can meet Ietsuna in person someday? I think I have some advice I can lend to him while I’m there. Well, If I end up getting there of course.”

Kensaku Morimoto

“Morimoto…Oh, The botanical researcher Mai-san was talking about? That’s definitely him. Come to think of it, Mai-san was right about his simialrlities with Jinguji-san… I don’t have much strong opinions on him, Just the usual ‘calm and collective’ personality, really…I guess it’s up to find some more information on him as well. Rikiya also has to be on the same page, Being teammates and all that jazz…”

Eco BOON

“Eco BOON, Now there’s an interesting name. Unlike the other divisions I’ve discussed, Eco BOON seems rather…Less threatening…? I won’t say that for sure, Maybe I’ve been wrong this whole time. Hear me out. With their supposed goal of ‘making things interesting’ and ‘growing through the cracks,’ They seem like one of OverDrives next targets…Of course, We need to finish MIHANASA first before any other divisions can be battled. Well, If OverDrive lasts that long.”

Jack’s Thoughts on Toyama Division

Asato Rikiya

“Rikiya, Rikiya, Rikiya… Right, his father was the late Akihito Rikiya. Fortunate for Asato, he is not a subject of concern for… Anyone, I imagine. Just a simple farmer, working hard to supply the public with delicious fruits and vegetables. It’s a humble life with no connections to anything bigger than he could ever imagine.”

Yano Ietsuna

“Mr. Ietsuna is terribly unprofessional for someone who seems to have his hands into something beyond the artist’s world. And surprisingly, it isn’t anything illegal like most in his field tend to get involved in. In fact, you could argue he is protected by the law, not wanted. Whether he is indebted or just lucky, it's not something anyone really knows. All that can be said is that he is awfully close with a cast of interesting characters, including Ramuda Amemura.”

Kensaku Morimoto

“The doctor appears to be safe and sound I see. As expected, he has no memory of the events and that makes both our lives much easier. I regularly hear chatter on how his participation in the D.R.B. has been very helpful... The publicity he’s gotten from rapping on stage, hosting pageants, and joining in all the little events makes it easy to keep track of him. Once I have fulfilled my duty however, I hope that interest in him will dissipate. Counting on the fact he doesn’t remember that which he forgot. Otherwise, he may be in danger. Even worse, he may be a danger to others around him. We wouldn’t want it to get any messier…”

ECO BooN

“It’s a charming little group. If it weren’t for the fact we are battling as teams, they wouldn’t be an issue to defeat with how inexperienced they all are in combat. But as I understand, this is a battle of wit and word not… Hand to hand combat. And in a language I’m not fully comfortable with. I’ll count on Mr. Tetsumasu to teach us well. That way, we may be able to defeat teams such as ECO BooN… Which is a ridiculous name I might add.”

Kotan's Thoughts on Toyama Division

Asato Rikiya

"Asato-kun. He's one of the few people outside of the tribe that I have a good acquaintanceship with. I heard of him after some of the village women went to buy produce from the markets in the city for one of our festivals. His food was quite delicious! And apparently, I wasn't the only one in my tribe who thought so. Though Toyama is a long ways from Hakodate, I went there personally and asked if he had any advice for planting food in the snow. His advice was really helpful. We now communicate via letters. It is always good to hear from him. I should invite him to one of our festivals next chance I get."

Yano Ietsuna

"My tribe and I have always appreciated the value that glass and other minerals have. Besides the fact that they can be sold, they also provide us with tools and resources. Some of the women love glass because of the figurines that it can make. And many of them are usually created by this young man, or rather his uncle. We don't really carry money with us, but we do happily trade any other materials we have for his figures. ...I wonder if this young man or his uncle are good with wood. I'd love to have a large wooden statue of the Kamuy made so we can put it in the middle of our village..."

Kensaku Morimoto

"I've never met this gentleman, but he seems earnest enough. I've always admired the work that physicians and people of medicine do to help those in need. Though we in our tribe prefer simple remedies to heal those who are injured and sick, we know that for more serious problems we must relocate them to a medical facility to heal. We've not had need of this person's services, but it is good to know his help is available should we need it."

ECO BooN

"Quite an extraordinary group of individuals. They seem to have a natural affinity for nature, which is something the Ainu people can respect. ...I wonder if they'd be interested in being honorary members of our tribe. They've certainly earned it, and knowing more about them could help the Ainu people in the long run. I should send a letter to Asato-kun the next time we have a festival to give him and his friends time to prepare."

[setagaya-division]

Elliot’s birthday is upon us! And unsurprisingly, the young man had many gifts from different people arriving at his door in various packages and letters. Of which, a small package with a returning address from Toyama.

Inside the box was packed with many flower pots in the shape of different animals - A frog, cat, dog, and panda respectively. Each one had a cloth tongue that would unravel to create a cute, if not goofy mechanism to soak up water on its own without the need of watering the plants. None of the pots contained any plants, but a bag of soil and two bags of seeds labeled “wheatgrass” and “cat grass” were included in the gift box.

Together with this gift, a letter neatly written was found inside:

Hope you’re having a good birthday, kiddo! Remember our last discussion on houseplants? I figured that as a gift, I could give a few tools for you to get started. The pots were actually my niece’s favorites. The problem is, I couldn’t pick one animal to get you so I just got a couple for you to pick out.

The seeds I picked out are simple grasses, safe for most animals. I do have to warn against letting your little cat friend from eating the straight wheatgrass since large amounts can lead to gastric disorders, so maybe keep that away. But generally, grasses are a great help in giving animals some necessary vitamins and aid in digestion. It can help you look for any stomach issues too, since animals tend to eat a lot of grass when something is wrong.

If you’re curious about what else you can fill the other pots with, I can definitely help with that! I would have gone down to the Tokyo area myself to give this gift, but I’m stuck in Okinawa still for business. I hope that this package got to you safely! Enjoy your day!

- Kensaku Morimoto

Looking at the little potted figures, Elliot smiled at them; particularly, the green frog one since it reminded him of Kensaku-sensei. He made a note to make sure to check on these every day, along with the flowers that his acquaintance, Max, had given him. He was truly grateful to Kensaku-sensei. Knowing the medicinal effects for plants and their effects on animals was really note-worthy. It was partially for that reason that he began studying up under the Toyama researcher. He made a note to ask Kensaku-sensei what other herbs he could use for the pots. Placing them somewhere close next to Max's flowers, the bespectacled-nerd again smiled at the designs on them.

"I'm gonna have to come up names for all for of you," he said to himself, giving them one last smile before leaving the room.

[okinawa-division]

“Ring-a-ding-ding! Delivery time! Hey, wait…” In a very convenient twist of fate, Kensaku found himself in Okinawa on a business meeting, which coincidentally fell on the day of his favorite bar owner’s birthday. Of course, Kensaku was not really planning on doing anything for Rashaad, save for a cheery ‘Happy Birthday’ and an extra tip, but his team’s leader actually had a very large gift for the owner. Unfortunately, upon trying the door, it seemed the man was absent from the premises for the moment. “Aw shoot. I guess it makes sense the hours are different for his own birthday. I’ll just leave it by the door. Hopefully, nobody steals it…”

Gently setting the small crate down, Kensaku stepped back and looked around, making sure nobody shady would come in to scoop up the gift. Then with a sigh, the older man began sauntering away, returning to his hotel. “Hope it gets to him. Asato’s got grape expectations haha…”

In due time, Rashaad would return to inevitably find the crate at his doorstep. Bringing it inside and opening it up would reveal it to be a typical Japanese luxury fruit box, filled to the brim with watermelon, cantaloupe, grapes, peaches, apples, and even persimmons.

Strangely enough, while no note was included inside, something was tucked into the crate haphazardly. Pulling it out revealed a glasses case, with Matsuda sunglasses contained inside. A rather flashy gift, unlike Asato… There’s no doubt someone else helped him pick this out.

In Kensaku’s Hotel Room…

“...Either way, your gift is delivered safely!” Lounging in the loveseat provided by the hotel, Kensaku cradled a glass of alcohol whilst talking on the phone to Asato. “I’m sure Rashaad is having fun opening the gift up right now.”

“That’s good…” Asato hummed. Then, the farmer questioned. “You didn’t forget my letter, right?”

“Oh! The letter that you couldn’t fit into the box? I uh…” Kensaku thought, but then, his words trailed off when he spotted the said letter still sitting on the bedstand. “...I didn't forget. For sure, kiddo.”

“...You forgot.”

“No...!”

Kensaku was met with silence.

“Fine! I did forget!” Kensaku groaned, “But there’s no way he won’t know it’s from you.”

More silence.

“Ugh, just let it man-go Asato.”

For a moment, it sounded like a snicker let slip on the other side, before Kensaku was met with the monotone beep of the farmer hanging up on him. Exasperatedly Kensaku sighed, knowing he was going to get the silent treatment from Rikiya man when he returned to Toyama.

Rashaad, unfortunately, was out of the bar due to ordering some supplies for his bar. Although Ace and Evelyn assured him they could have gotten that for him and that he was to relax on his birthday, the bar owner insisted that it was no trouble and that he wouldn't be gone long. Unfortunately, his supposed 20-minute trip somehow turned into an hour since he was busy being congratulated and wished a 'happy birthday' by many of Okinawa's citizens. Still, he wasn't complaining. He knew what he was getting into when he stepped outside.

Upon arriving back at the Eagle's Nest, the bar owner sighed as he laid down the supplies he had bought on a nearby counter. He was about to put them up when he noticed some fruit and a pair of sunglasses on a table, making his eyes go wide. Looking at the watermelon, a grin appeared on his face as he noticed the insignia on it.

"Asato-kun," Rashaad stated. His family's fruits always had a distinct taste and smell to them. It was fortunate that he had some fruit supplies left over, so he wouldn't need to use all of these for his drinks.

"These will help make a good brunch later on in the week."

Looking at the sunglasses, Rashaad looked at them from all sides. Truthfully, it was kind of hard to picture the bartender without his trademark sunglasses on. He didn't know when he started wearing them, but they were an essential part of his character now. Slipping his brownish-black glasses off his face, he put on the light blue sunglasses, making everything appear... for lack of a better word, "bluish".

"Hmm, I'll wear them tonight and see how they feel. ...Though I wonder if anyone will even really notice..."

Thanks for the gift!

Round 3 — Fashion Show

Theme: “Cosplay Round!”

Contestants: Sakura Kito & Yano Ietsuna

Divisions: Shizuoka & Toyama

“I'm going to be honest. I have no idea what “cosplay” entails other than dressing as characters from various media. So I was stumped on what to dress up as until I remembered I still had my…costume from last Halloween. As much as it was embarrassing to wear it, I had no other idea. At least, apparently, this is a common costume couples like to cosplay as. *sighs* At least you're not crying this round, Yano.”

*Openly stares at Sakura* “.......”

“Yano?”

*Continues to stare* “.....”

“Yano, I swear to God. If you're ogling my chest, this is going to become “Who Murdered Roger Rabbit” real fast.”

[saitama-division]

It was afternoon now, and the sun peeked through the few clouds that filled the sky. Looking up at the sky, Kensaku watched a cloud slowly move across the burning orb before he blinked his eyes as the sun beamed down onto his face.

This week leading up to Sayaka’s birthday stressed the poor man out. Much like last year, he wanted to distance himself, just send a gift and letter to her wishing her a happy birthday. But after a few, no tons of failed letters Kensaku finally gave up and decided that he would just wake up early to deliver it himself… Again. At least this time he actually had a gift picked out.

“Hey, are you done brooding yet?!”

Looking up from his seat, Kensaku looked back at his car parked outside the park he had decided to mentally prepare himself at. Inside an impatient Yano was yelling out the window, with Asato appearing to protest the older man’s boisterous attitude. Smiling, Ken dropped the burning cigarette that he had hardly touched and snuffed it out before walking over.

“You shouldn’t be so mean…” Asato mumbled.

Yano barked in response, “You told me how last year went and we can’t let him fuck it up again! Not when I put so much fucking last-minute effort into his stupid gift…” Yano pointed at Kensaku’s pocket, yelling out the window again. “It’s your fault I had to stay up late to get that done! I got a lot riding on that!”

“I already paid you for all the trouble, Yano-kun…” Kensaku sighed, feeling guilty for his last-minute request.

“Don’t you dare forget the other part of the deal!”

“Right, right. The Moominvalley Park…”

Seeming satisfied with that last comment, Yano gave a toothy grin and thumbs up at Kensaku. “Good! Now go already! Moominvalley ain’t open forever!”

“...Is that really your priority here?”

Kensaku couldn’t help but laugh a little at Asato’s comment. Shaking his head at Yano’s immature impatience, Kensaku walked away from the car to let the two men talk and relax while he went to the Miyuki household. He figured that it would be nice to speak to her without his rowdy teammates jeering him on, but the closer he got to their house he felt more and more nervous. One after another, negative thoughts about the worst case scenarios filled his head. It wasn’t as though he could mull on it for long, because before he knew it, he was already at his destination. So, shaking away the negative thoughts, he paused for a moment before knocking on the door in fake confidence. ‘No point in running now. Better go with the flow.’

As the door swung open, Kensaku pulled a small box out of his pocket and grasped it in one hand as the other he used to give a friendly smile and wave Sayaka Miyuki. “Happy birthday Miyuki-san!”

After a quick exchange of small talk, Ken finally managed to hand Sayaka his gift, which was contained in a small pink velvet box. Opening it up revealed a tiny translucent butterfly pendant on a golden chain.

Letting himself stare at Sayaka’s expression and admire her a little, his attention was brought back to earth when the woman looked up at him with a smile, causing him to stutter. “I-I thought I could butter you up with a little gift! I noticed that you seem to like butterflies. I mean, it’s not hard to notice when your team logo is a butterfly, right? Not to mention your hairpin… A-And uhm…”

Realizing he was beginning to blather, Kensaku stopped himself and took a deep breath to genuinely speak. “I really do hope you like it. I spent a long time trying to come up with the best possible gift for you, and I…I…”

After a long pause, Kensaku’s pocket began to buzz, making the man jump back from the woman and fumble for his phone. Irritatingly, it appeared like Yano had blown up Kensaku’s phone with text messages before ultimately calling his cell phone at the worst possible moment. With an apologetic smile, he backed away from her home. “I’m so sorry. I have some business. Feel free to text or call me if it doesn’t fit you? S-Sorry again, and enjoy the rest of your birthday!”

And so, Kensaku took off, leaving Sayaka standing alone in her doorway yet again.

At the sound of someone knocking on her door, Sayaka stopped what she was doing and walked over to the front entrance. ‘Most likely another gift’, she thought as she twisted the doorknob, her eyes widen slightly in surprise at the sight of Kensaku. “Ah, Morimoto-san!” She smiled at him, “How nice to see you!” She waved back.

Upon receiving his gift, Sayaka opened up the box and gasped softly in surprise, gently holding the pendant in her hand. Her eyes sparkled as she marveled at the piece of jewelry, it was beautiful and the fact that Kensaku took time out of his day to personally deliver her a present on her birthday made Sayaka really, really happy for some reason but she just chalked it up to being happy to see a good friend, that’s all. Sayaka felt her face warm up a bit and looked back up to Kensaku and smiled brightly, laughing a little at his pun. “Thank you so much, Morimoto-san! This is beautiful!”

She stared at him with wide eyes, listening intently as he spoke but seemed to snap out of it when his phone rang, smiling softly, she waved him goodbye and went back inside her house, still holding onto the necklace. What she didn’t expect was to see both Lola and Kureha waiting for her as she turned a corner, yelping loudly and nearly jumping out of her skin. “What the-?! How long were you two just standing there?!” Sayaka exclaimed, placing a hand on her heart in an attempt to calm herself, looking at the pair with wide eyes.

Kureha said nothing as she just stared at Sayaka, or rather the necklace she held with such an intensity that it was quite off-putting while Lola crossed her arms and looked at the brunette with a similar look. “Long enough.” The model smoothly replied, eyeing the necklace. “So, looks like Mr. Pun and Run actually decided to step up his game huh? I’ll give him credit, it’s definitely better than last year but I’m taking points off for running yet again.”

Kureha narrowed her eyes and placed her hands in her pockets, a look on conflict on her features. “Lola…what should we do..?”

Lola put a reassuring hand on the goth’s shoulder. “Don’t worry, honey, I’ll take of it.”

Sayaka frowned and furrowed her brows, confused. “Hold on. What on earth are you two talking about? What do you mean ‘take care of it’? Of what? You two better not do anything to Morimoto-san! He’s a nice man!” She crossed her arms and gave the artist and the model a stern glare.

Kureha hunched into herself, looking away guiltily and Lola held her hands up in surrender, raising a brow. “Whoa now, we’re not gonna hurt the guy, we just wanna talk to him, see where his head’s at on whether or not he’s serious about this.”

Sayaka sighed deeply, rubbing her face in exasperation. “About what?” She asked and Lola gave her a look that can be described as ‘Are you kidding me?’. Even Kureha stared at her incredulously, “Mom…” The goth started but quickly shook her head with a long sigh making the single mother pout. “What? Why are you two getting so defensive over a gift a friend gave me?” That made Lola facepalm harshly, letting out a frustrated groan.

“God sunshine, you’re killing us over here!”

Thank you for the gift!

Kai's Thoughts on Toyama Division

Asato Rikiya

"Sorry, but you'll have to ask my wife about this young man. I've only met him once, and that's cause my wife introduced me to him and his family. The only thing I know about him is that his family owns a huge farm in Toyama that grows a lot of produce. That's partly why I know him cause Mireya buys all of our family's produce directly from him, or rather, his grandmother. He seems rather... aloof, or rather he doesn't show much expression on his face. He stated he tries not to show much expression cause people always say he looks scary when he does."

"...We kinda have that in common, to be honest. People say I always look unapproachable cause of the scowl on my face, but I'm not trying to be. That's just my normal facial expression. I've tried to get better at controlling it, though..."

Yano Ietsuna

"I know this young man the most out of the team, mainly cause he saved me from pissing Mireya off. ...I guess I should expound on that. Basically, it was our 8th year wedding anniversary, and I promised I'd have a gift ready for her on that day. But... I got so caught up in a new song I was trying to create and perfect that I lost track of the time. The days just flew by without me realizing it. So before I knew it, I only had two days left to find her the perfect gift. I asked around and people recommended a glass shop called, "Glassara Glass Studio" in Toyama run by a man and his nephew. I was skeptical, but I went anyway."

"Surprisingly enough, Yano did a real good job on the figurine I asked him to make. Admittedly, I didn't give him clear instructions, but he did good for making it under a time limit. Mireya absolutely loved it. I paid him and told him if he was ever in Roppongi to come to Gypsy's Palace, where I'd get him access to the VIP room. I haven't seen him yet, but I'll be on the lookout when he does. He deserves it for everything he's done."

Kensaku Morimoto

"...You all remember what I told you about my 'lack of humor' when I spoke about Sasara, right? Well, it pertains to all forms of humor, including puns. I met this guy while I was in Toyama that one time visiting with Asato and his grandmother. I stopped by the local pharmacy just to get something to drink. The weather in Toyama is too humid and mild for my tastes. Anyway, this guy was working the register and... I don't know what it was about me, maybe the expression on my face or something, but he just started telling me jokes left and right as he was ringing me up."

"I didn't know what to say, so I just thanked him for the drink, paid and left. I haven't seen him since. Later, I found out from Zakari that he's friends with Jakurai, which is a shock. I didn't think Jakurai was the kind of guy who liked jokes, or associated himself with people who tell them. The more you know, I guess."

ECO BooN

"Toyama is a place in Japan known for its agriculture. So, I suppose having a farmer, a glassmaker, and a guy who deals in pharmaceutical research makes a bit of sense. I don't know how they'd sound 'music-wise', but... I have to admit, I'm kind of looking forward to what they sound like. It could give me some ideas."

Mai’s Thoughts On Toyama Division

Asato Rikiya

“Rikiya, The agricultural farmer? Mhm~! I honestly thought he’d be more optimistic, That’s not the case however, Booring~…Where’d the personality go~? Anyway, I’m drawing a blank. Yeah he’s a farmer and apart of Eco BOON, Though I can’t get anything else, Onii-san’s also a little lost too…Jeez, These other divisions are total mysteries now…I feel like I should know some of them~, Aww…”

Yano Ietsuna

“Ietsuna…Toyama’s glass artist right? Yep! He’s also Rikiya’s best friend, Isn’t he? Also yes, Wow! I’ve never heard of glass artists before, So I should check it out sometime. Ietsuna seems like a nice guy, The comical one of Eco BOON I guess…Though, I hope he’s doing okay. Sensitivity is no joke around here. Anyways, I’ll have to figure out more about him. Who knows, Maybe I’ll head to Toyama and check out his shop sometime around…?”

Kensaku Morimoto

“Morimoto…He’s a lot like Jakurai-san isn’t he…? Tons of locals speak of him, So I’ll take their word for it. Botanical researcher? Wasn’t expecting that impression, I see how Jakurai-san might be similar in that sort of light…I’ve got no strong opinions on him here. He’s calm and collected sure, But that’s all I’m getting at this point. There’s gotta be more personality somewhere…Though where would have that sort of information lying around…?”

Eco BOON

“Eco BOON…Oh, Toyama’s nature division~! Come to think of it, Aren’t they currently battling Suginami Division? Right, Sanzaka Zombies I think…Yep! I didn’t think much of them at first, Although now I’m getting second thoughts. ‘We’ll grow through the cracks and rise above?’ Okay, I see… ‘Making things interesting?’ Sounds like we’re in for a challenge here, I like it~! Let’s see how Toyama is able to fare against us then, I’m not doubting they won’t be prepared though…”
