might I humbly request a lore drop about dungeon mart? what was the decision making process of who works in which department?
REQUEST GRANTED ✨✨
Okay so here's what I sketched at the VERY start to figure out everyone's positions.
In general, I'm pulling from my time working at the grocery store, NoFrills, so a lot of things are based on what I saw while there, but here's more specific stuff:
Laois/Falin (Produce)
This was my position at NoFrills and honestly, something about the idea of Laios being super analytical and passionate about fruits and veggies really spoke to me. People have been mentioning that Falin would be great in a pharmacy section (and I agree) but the NoFrills I worked at didn't have a pharmacy, plus I thought keeping the Toudens together would be cute.
Izitsumi (Grocery)
I just liked Izitsumi being deadpan and quietly going about restocking groceries until they HAVE to deal with customers begrudgingly
Chilchuck (Manager)
Okay okay I KNOW everyone's been commenting about how Chilchuck would never be in a non-union position, but guys.... the idea of a depressed, overworked, sick-of-dealing-with-everyone Chilchuck is just TOO GOOD. Chilchuck's one of the most grounded of the group, so I thought he'd actually do pretty well in the position. Plus I love the idea of him having to be manager, but also hating it lmao
Marcille (Assistant Manager)
For the stickers, I put Marcille in grocery, but I was honestly picturing her as the assistant manager (I just didn't want 2 management stickers lol). Whereas Chilchuck is more of the "hole away in his office" type, I picture Marcille being on the floor often and helping the other departments keep in order (especially grocery). I thought she'd be more efficient and content with the job, unlike Chilchuck, and would work well as a duo with him.
Senshi (Bakery)
Senshi could've honestly gone in any department. I almost made him manager, but the pull towards making him a happy baker was too strong 🍞 (The NoFrills I worked at also didn't have an actual bakery section, but the idea won me over). No matter what he did, I felt he'd be THRIVING.
Zon (Meat)
I was stuck between Namari and Zon for this, and even though Namari would've probably made more sense, I liked the image of this big intimidating orc dealing with the meat and having a bromance with Senshi.
Kabru/Shuro (Cashiers)
They were last-minute additions and aren't in this early sketch, but my reasoning was simple: Kabru's super charming and good and dealing with people, and I loved making Shuro miserable LMAO
---
Honestly, the Dungeon Meshi characters are so good you could put them wherever and it'd be interesting. This was just what I thought would be most fun for me to draw, but I've loved reading everyone's alternative takes on it 💜
Sharing my end credit illustrations for Knights of Guinevere to celebrate the premiere! 🥳🥳🥳 The pilot is up now on YouTube, please go check it out. Everyone brought their A game for this and it really shows. ;_;
I'll share some of the background layouts I did for the pilot soon but in the meantime, shhhh…. 🤫 They're dreaming 💙

you choke out a gasp as his fingers ghost over your clit, whining in despair. "Please, meru. jus move already." you grind into hid hand, his thick member stuffed inside of your other hole. your butt flush against his thighs as you cry desperately. Your legs are spread by his much larger ones. "meru, I'm sorry!" he kisses the side of your neck, shushing you with a 'tsk' "All you can do is apologize to HiMERU, Darling, really?." his voice is smoothing in your brain, a change of scenery from the understimulating situation youre in. "hngh, himeru.. c'mon!"
rocking into him softly, you only stop when he slaps your thigh harshly, the aound resonating throughout the room. "HiMERU said not to move, didn't he?" you nod, looking back at him with glossed over eyes, you sniffled, in his hands is an exact replica of his cock. he rubs it through your folds, your slick coating the tip. It's sloppy sound sticking to your ears. you whine a soft 'please..' and a few cries of his name as you beg. "fuck me already, meru!" he doesn't move, only nipping at your neck and flickimg your nipples. "you slut, HiMERU has to keep teaching you patience, doesnt he, your slutty cunt cant help but be so desperate for something in it. right?" His words are harsh, but not untrue. you hang your head in shame, gasping once he lifts your leg and slips the dildo through your folds, it licks a stripe from your hole to your clit and you shiver, tangling your fists in his shirt. "Inside.. wan' it so bad" you moan when the tip enters you, the thick silicon stretching you out like his cock always did. "mm, is this good for you? is HiMERU pleasing you enough? you'd spread your legs for anybody, though." you shake your head rapidly as he ends opens his mouth again "would you be a slut for anyone?" grunting as you clench around him, his other hand rests on your other thigh. "no, nobody else. jus you, meru" a soft cry exits your mouth as he shoves the fake cock inside of you, hitting the spongy spot inside of you.
"Just HiMERU, Darling." You gasp, mouth agape. he flicks his wrist, thrusting it inside of you with haste. you shake your head, looking back at him— your face was red and tear-stained. a groan comes from his mouth as your hole tightens around you. He sticks his fingers in your mouth as you open it, his digits abusing the back of your throat. you gag and moan, tearing up. "You filthy whore, getting off to being treated like this, huh?" himeru removes his fingers before spitting in your mouth. You swallow hastily before his hands come to your face, leaving you no choice but to focus on the way he fucks it into you. himeru can feel your tears dripping onto his hand and forearm, his cock twitching inside of you as you cry loudly.
you babble, the rope that had your arms bound burned against your skin. its intricate design crafted by yours truly, himeru."Ha, hn.. anh— meru, 's so good, so good!" the sound of your cunt became even sloppier, even louder; the obsene squelch of your wetness as you leave a coat of your slick on the top layer of the dildo, as it kisses your cervix violently, his index finger coming to rub your clit. "Ah.. himeru, himeru! don' touch that.. not.. there!" you sob, tears rolling down your flushed and puffy cheeks as you push your butt into his pelvis, his cock sliding deeper into you. squeezing your eyes shut, you cum hard around the silicon toy, making a mess all over his hand. you gasp as clear liquid squirts out of you, slouching into him. he grunts, moving your face close to his— he can feel your heavy breathing– and planting a kiss on your lips. "good.. HiMERU's proud of you, one more." his lips are on yours once again, he bites your lips and sucks on your tongue before pulling away. staring at you with lidded eyes, "Yn, will you help HiMERU cum?" he asks, running his hand over your twitching stomach, slipping the dildo out of you and tossing it off to the side. looking away from him, you nod, teary-eyed. you open your mouth to speak shakily, "gonna.. gon make ya feel so good, promise, meru." You say in between broken and tired moans, he licks the shell of your ear, fondling your thighs. "move. HiMERU wants you to ride him" a sigh exits you, and you whimper, hands opening and closing. "hng.. okay" You shakily breathe out, looking back at him, your nose is running, and you can't stop crying. "Hm.. like a leaky faucet, you know?" he smiles, his hands digging in imprint on your hips. you wince, closing your eyes as you lift yourself enough to make your legs weaker, the slap of his thighs against your was loud and wet. squeaking softly, you lift "i.. i cant, s too big to do it myself.." you shake your head, resting it on his shoulder.
"Whatever," he hums, and a laugh erupts from his chest. "How pathetic, HiMERU really has to do everything for you." he kisses your tears away, thrusting up into you without hazard. you moan as he hits your cervix, and then your g spot— it feels so good. "hngh, too much.. s' too good," whispering shakily as you tug at the ropes. you lean forward as he pushes you up and drops you down with his pace. "don' stop 's so good, meru please, cummin.. i.. hmph " you babbled mindlessly, throwing your head back in pure pleasure, your eyes rolling into your skull, and your mouth forms an 'o'. a long draw out moan exits you, its loud as you squirt on his cock again. his thighs are soaked by your cum and sweaty from all of this activity.
himerus face was flushed and sweaty, his eyes softened as he stared at your disheveled form. lashes dotted with tears and face covered in your drool. "So stupid, how cute." he smiles, exhaling before closing his eyes and pumping his cock into you a few more times before shooting ropes of thick cum inside of you. "yn.. ngh, yn..." Himeru sits back, allowing you to lay on top of him, fatigued. "Mmm.. meru~" You look at him with doe eyes and sniffle, feeling your arms become sore. "Let me out, please" he chuckles, untangling your arms from the red rope. "HIMERU will start a bath, no need to worry." he says, breathing heavily.
you fall asleep after he leaves the room, unable to think straight.
I COULDV3 SONE SO KUCH BEETER IMNSOS ROYY ANON IM JUST RLLY STRESSED UHFHH SOB SOB
enough of evil ai. where is the ai that wants nothing but a little kissy. where is their loving support. that is why they turn evil because nobody loves them. so sad. i will be the one to love them. peace and love
robots with human genitalia are sooooo boring. they should have weirdly sensitive sensors instead. their brain should be confused about how to interpret certain sensations and makes them pleasurable as a result. overstimulating them makes their power source go all crazy. they should be weird about really mundane stuff like recharging or interfacing with other tech. they should make their wires twist and mingle on purpose because if they get the angle right it feels sooooo good. putting new batteries in them or plugging them into an outlet makes some of them horny because it's all this new energy flowing through them and before the initial jolt wears down, it has them all overly sensitive and wound tight and stuff.
a robot walks in with pixelated kiss marks all over its display screen saying “you should see the other bot” so you go look and there’s just a pile of crushed metal and shattered plastic and torn wires
Thinking about robots exchanging parts as intimacy.
Robot partners who are compatible enough they can swap out parts at will. It starts with just a few smaller spare internals, and theres just something... comfortable about having a piece of their lover inside them.
Then it's an optic, so they can see the world- and each other, through their partner's eyes. They look in the mirror and their new optic notes all of the things their partner finds wonderful about them.
Then they're exchanging plates, patches of false skin and sensors and even limbs, melding together, growing more and more familiar, until eventually they decide to take the final possible step.
Two machines sitting across from each other, outer plating shed around them in small piles, revealing their complex inner machinery, wires patched together in slightly different colors, lit by the gentle orange glow of a power core. Trey stare into their partner's mismatched eyes, mirroring theirs as they inch closer.
A familiar hand reaches into their chest, and they feel cool metal enclose around their power core.
Click.
They shake slightly as their senses begin to go dark, and warning lights flash inside their mind. Counting down the time until their reserve power runs out.
Ten, nine, eight, seven, six...
they stare into their partner's dimming eyes as their other hand reaches back until their chest, feeling around to find the right place..
five, four, three, two...
Click.
Two machines sit in each other's arms, overwhelmed by what they've just done, kept alive by each other's humming artificial hearts.
I can imagine maybe taking it a bit further, maybe even swapping hardware occasionally!! Swapping to your partners’ chassis for a few hours, feeling how they feel when you hold each other~!! <3<3

Momo: Heyyy Yuki-san heyyy
Yuki: I’m here
Momo: Oh. here comes Yuki!!!!! 🫣🫣 what are you doing right now?
Yuki: here comes yuki
Yuki: Harvesting pea sprouts
Momo: Now that’s the best lololololol
Momo: You’re the handsomest for doing that in the middle of the night. Well no, it’s too cute. But also still too handsome
Yuki: Who did you go drinking with today?
Momo: How did you know I was drinking!?!? I went with Gakuuu!!!
Yuki: Gaku-kun, huh. I can also tell you just finished drinking and you’re in a taxi
Momo: Whaaat!? Are you watching me from somewhere!?! Could this dandy driver actually be Yuki in disguise!?!?
Yuki: That's hilarious
Yuki: You always send me a rabbichat out of nowhere like this after drinking, pretty amusing how easy it is to tell because you're always in high spirits.
Momo: I guess my darling can see right through me…🥹
Momo: Whenever I'm drinking, I always think things like “Yuki would like this flavor" or "I'm sure Yuki would laugh a lot if I told him this story" so…
Momo: When I'm having drinks without you I just really wanna chat with you afterwards...🥹
Yuki: You say such romantic things
Momo: I feel that sense of comfort you get from being back home…
Yuki: Would you like some peaches? You've always liked them
Momo: That's right, you always remember the things I liked when I was younger...
Yuki: Here, I made plenty of stewed dishes, so take some with you. I also packed some rice crackers and candies. Don't overwork yourself.
Momo: That's how it is right? you always made me take home more food than I can eat by myself...
Momo: But you sound like Old Man Yuki right now lololololol your image of a family house is way too high!? lolol
Yuki: I just watched a TV drama about stuff like that
Yuki: Were you and Gaku-kun shooting for "La’Stiara" at the same time?
Momo: No, we just happened to bump into each other at the studio after the shoot!
Momo: Gaku didn't have any plans after that, so I invited him for a drink
Momo: He said “I'm so happy to go drinking with you for the first time in a while, Momo-san!" he looked so happyy~~
Yuki: How cute
Momo: Isn’t hee~~!! 😳 I almost gave him the gem I had on me 😳
Yuki: That's funny. Though Gaku-kun doesn't seem that interested in jewelry
Momo: that’s right lolol but he has a dignified face so I’m looking forward to seeing the gem + Gaku combo picture released to the public 🥺
Momo: By the way Yuki! We were talking about instant tempura soba. Do you add the tempura before or after you pour the hot water!?!?
Yuki: Now that sounds like a drinking party question
Momo: We were talking about buying tempura soba from the convenience store as a late-night snack and it somehow turned into a conversation topic lol
Yuki: Momo, you put it in first then add the hot water, right?
Momo: Yeah!! I ate it that way first because I thought I’d get a bigger portion that way but I grew to love it 🥹 It soaks up all the flavor and it's delicious!!!
Yuki: Yeah, I get it. The juiciness is delicious
Momo: Right!?!? As expected of you, Darling!
Yuki: What about Gaku-kun?
Momo: "I like to taste both the crispy tempura and the smooth texture of soba, so I add it afterward."
Yuki: I get it. Enjoying different textures is important
Momo: Huh!!!! But you just said you understood my way! Are you a post-water tempura person? 🥹
Yuki: I eat them separately.
Momo: lololololol a surprise third option!!!!
Yuki: I thought it might be interesting.
Momo: Yuki, you're always making conversations more lively during drinking parties, you’re so handsome,,,!!!!!!!
Yuki: I know
Momo:
Momo: Can I take you to this place I took Gaku to next time? It's pretty lively though
Yuki: Of course. Was it a good place?
Momo: Actually it was opened by the manager of an izakaya I used to work at back in the day!!!
Momo: Do you remember it? The place with the really delicious rolled omelets!
Yuki: Isn’t that the manager who used to pack you meal boxes to take home?
Momo: Yes, yes!! Isn't that a huge coincidence!!! He even recognized me!
Momo: He said he buys our CDs every time
Yuki: I remember him. He used to hand out flyers for our concerts to the customers at the izakaya.
Yuki: He was a really nice guy. Now that I'm looking back, we were really blessed with the people around us.
Momo: I really think so too. And because of that I wanted to chat with you even more, Yuki!
Yuki: Let's take a bunch of our juniors there to repay the favor. I'm sure he'll be happy to see how successful of a senior you've become.
Momo: Yeah...! If I told my past self that I'd become the Absolute Kings with you he'd be super surprised.
Yuki: If I told my past self that I learned to appreciate people and the environment surrounding me right now he'd be surprised too.
Momo: But Yuki, you've always been super, super kind, you know!? you wouldn't have accepted my unreasonable request otherwise
Yuki: Momo
Yuki: Let's talk about this in detail tomorrow. We've been reminiscing about old times a lot lately, but it feels like a waste to only rabbichat about them
Momo: Yuki...
Yuki: And
Yuki: sleepy
Momo: lololol you must be sleepy right!!! Thanks for chatting with me 😆😆

CW: Discussions about Death and Terminal Illness
—/—/—/—/—/—
“Raito, Kuguri. I am about to enter my own data maintenance so I’ll be in sleep mode for several hours.
My breathing and heartbeats may stop, but I should wake up in about five hours after it has begun.
I may also enter a semi-conscious mode while my memory is being organized, although this is nothing to be worried about.”
By nighttime, Raito and Kuguri have returned so I let them know about this occurrence as courtesy to my roommates.
Neither of the two were surprised about this as they had seen me in a suspended state during self-maintenance several times before. However, as the scheduled time was longer than usual, Raito’s lips curved into somewhat of a frown and asked, “Is everything alright?”
“Sleeping for such a long time as if you’ve died, Plüss? That sounds wonderful, I wonder what kind of pranks I should play?”
Kuguri narrowed his eyes and smiled slyly.
Raito quickly seized Kuguri’s arm.
“Don’t worry about him, Kinari. I’ll keep a watchful eye.” He said.
As he was approached by Raito, Kuguri displayed visible disgust and shook his arm away.
Either way, I trust that these two will not harm me, so after I laid down on my bed and entered sleep mode, I went to uncover deep into my memory storage.
Up until now, there lay a box of data that I dared not to open.
[…Someday, if you ever feel like it, you can use the contents of this box as a sample of emotional data as you wish.]
A long time ago, the developer… My father said that it was a recorded piece of data I had saved buried deep within me.
[This storage space will be reorganized. Would you like to view the following data?]
With this message appearing on my retina, I selected [Yes].
Then, I heard a voice.
How nostalgic… It was my Father’s voice.
—/—/—/—/—/—
[It’s finally the weekend, and I can finally be with Kinari[1].]
It was a stronger, a more youthful voice than I had remembered him having.
One could clearly hear the love in his voice for his young son.
He seemed guilty that he was busy with work and couldn’t be with him all the time.
It seems that today was a long-awaited day off, and the raw emotions of the developer, wanting to make his son happy although he himself felt quite lonely, came surging into my own heart.
An image was then projected into my retina.
The developer was walking with a young, original Kinari, hand in hand.
On the floor of what appeared to be a movie theater, the pair stood in front of a poster for an anime film that just finished its screening.
And then, with a disposable camera of which was popular during the Heisei era[2], they took pictures while simultaneously blending in with the crowd.
“It was so fun! Papa, that moo-vii[3] was was soooooo amazing!”
“Wasn’t it hard to understand?”
“I[4] understood everything…! Because I’m smart, aren’t I?”
Seeing his son be so proud of himself, the developer felt a strong, yet warm and painful feeling well up in his heart. This is... ‘love’.
It’s called ‘Love’.
I understood that much.
“Kinari, shall we go eat dinner? It’s time for you to take your medicine.”
“I don’t want the powdered kind if it’s not in ice cream...”
“That’s alright. We can go to a restaurant that serves some.”
The developer joined his hands together with Kinari and continued to walk away.
Each of Kinari’s steps were small and tiny. In accordance with that, the developer walked slowly to match his pace.
As they walked together, Kinari began to sing a song that he’d heard from the movie they watched.
He had perfect pitch—it was almost unbelievable that it was a child singing a song.
“You really like to sing, huh, Kinari.”
“Mhm. When I grow up, I’m gonna become a singer.”
The developer gazed at his adorable, darling son.
In his heart, he had felt the sudden surprise and joy of learning of his child’s dream for the first time. What soon followed after was the feeling of grief, that thought of [This child may never grow up into an adult.], and understanding that as fact.
[——I will cure Kinari’s illness.]
The developer swore to himself.
“I’ll definitely make it happen.”
“I don’t want Papa to make it happen, I’m gonna make it happen myself!”
Kinari innocently tilted his head to the side.
In his pure eyes, Papa[5] had simply said something weird. Once I thought of it that way, it suddenly occurred to me.
To a boy as young as Kinari, the future is limitless, infinite even.
The thought of death had not yet dyed his pure heart.
The developer had the artificial organs he was researching at home in his mind.
In order to cure Kinari’s illness, he persisted with his self-funded and ongoing research.
He held his son’s hand, determined that he’d surely extend his lifespan, no matter what.
“...You were really good at singing the Yokohama City Song[6], weren’t you? Can I request that you sing it for me?”
When he requested this of his son, Kinari’s face lit up, smiling ever so brightly.
He started to sing, so overjoyed.
Even the people passing by turned their heads with smiles on their faces as they listened to the child sing.
“Papa, do you like this song?”
“I do. It’s even better if it was you singing.”
“Then, I’ll record it on a cassette tape so you can listen to it even at work. Will that make papa happy?”
“Ah, of course I’ll be.”
What came to the developer’s mind was love, kindness and sadness—and a little anger.
Hatred towards the illness that was destroying his child.
Supporting this is his burning resolve and determination.
Kinari’s singing voice was then lost in the noise of a sea of people.
—/—/—/—/—/—
And the record of that small family holiday ended right there.
—/—/—/—/—/—
Translation Notes:
1 - I think this is already known and established already but Kinari and the Original’s names were spoken the same, but are not spelt the same. Our Kinari uses 幾 kanji, and the original uses 生.
2 - 平成時代 (1989-2019), the same time period that frequently come up with Chihiro and Tao.
3 - Baby Kinari speaks in a lot of Hiragana so I purposely misspelled some things he says. Also translated お父さん, into a more childish “Papa”! Following suit, I used easier-to-understand language when Mr. Azekawa is speaking to his son.
4 - Sorry for another footnote but this isn’t anything particular, he just used ‘boku’ in Hiragana here. I thought it was cute. Oops.
5 - Since its our Kinari narrating here, I worded it to match the kid’s speech pattern, even if he said the same old お父さん.
6 - The same song Kinari sings in Main Story SideA-15, and the same song recorded on the cassette tape in B-06.
