Either day. Timeline be damned anyway.

[Kotetsu was ready for mikan savin'! It just so happened Nami was more than capable of convincing him to adventure forward and help save these poor, innocent mikans. And it's with this in mind that he decides he'll use his powers-

... Actually, he was mainly curious if being in the barrier changed them like the guide had noted. Considering his time limit was already dwindling down, he had reason to fret that maybe he'd be even more drained here. Fortunately, his powers seemed to be doing a decent job of thriving. 3:45 still.

He runs through the grove at super-human speed, just a line of blue trailing behind him. He's got a basket and he's movin' like the wind, pick, pick, picking; can't really tell which are supposed to be picked, but hey. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Can't have these mikans all dying of cold, now can we? After all, they were so tenderly raised. :|b]

[wildkotetsu]

Being...? Ah! Uh, no, not just that. My Hundred Power kind of... boosts my physical abilities by a hundred. Things like hearing and strength, or healing. Whatever I focus it on, anyway.

[mikangirl]

What, seriously? That's pretty impressive. And useful.

[wildkotetsu]

[OMG 'USEFUL'

SO PROUD OF MYSELF]

It has its helpful moments. Got me out of a lot of tight spots, anyway.

[Like. Saving people out of buildings and shit like that. It helps. `_`b]

[mikangirl]

[It's okay DON'T GET USED TO IT Nami says 'useful' in terms of 'how can this help me in the future' really...]

So you'll be back to being superfast in an hour?

[wildkotetsu]

Yup, that's right! Just give it a little time to get back to me, and I can start running again.

[mikangirl]

Ah! So in an hour you could clear a whole bunch more?

[wildkotetsu]

That's right! For about four minutes! So I can get some of these down faster, so we don't lose 'em.

[mikangirl]

Must be a pain in the ass, that whole timing thing.

[wildkotetsu]

[He laughs, maybe just a little meekly. Powers and time. Lady, you have no idea.]

Definitely can be. I've had to get creative when I work, sometimes.

[mikangirl]

As a hero, right? [She remembers that part.] Saving lives, putting out fires? That kind of thing?

[wildkotetsu]

That's right! We--uh, heroes, they work for the citizens!

[... worked. He worked for the city.

I guess... not anymore... BUT THAT'S OKAY, NO WORRIES, NO REGRETS.]

[mikangirl]

[...innnnnteresting correction. But much like certain others she's talked to this week, she just doesn't know Kotetsu well enough yet to pry. Give her another month]

...how many of you are there?

[wildkotetsu]

Mmm, eight of us. We sort of compete against each other to see who does best.

[mikangirl]

Nothing wrong with some healthy competition. Are you all over the world or just in one city?

[wildkotetsu]

Only in Sternbild! It'd be pretty hard to compete if we're too far apart, right? Besides, it's a pretty big city; just one or two heroes probably wouldn't be enough.
