Shipping the SDRA2 Cast With Each Other

Everyone x Everyone (except those related)

To commemorate the anniversary of living on Utsuroshima for one whole year, the class decided to hold an evening barbecue on the beach for supper. Mikado brought all kinds of things to be grilled, like sausages, hamburgers, potatoes, vegetables, and chicken. He also brought non-grilled foods to pair with the other foods, like macaroni salad, fries, baked beans, mashed potatoes with cream cheese, and wraps.

After everyone had their fill of food, they split off to do their own things with each other in small groups. Shinji, Hajime, and Yuki went near the more stable ground in order to do some training, where Yuki was being made to do pushups. "Just ten more, man, then you're good." Hajime encouraged.

Yuki looked up and saw Utsuro watched from in the shade of a tree. "Utsuro, don't just stand there! Come and save me already!" Yuki weakly called over. The other ginger just smiled and slowly shook his head.

Shinji stepped forward to stand beside Yuki, telling Hajime, "Step aside and watch a pro." Turning to Yuki, he went into his 'little bro encouragement voice' and started shouting, "Come on, Yuki, go further down! You're almost there! You can do it!"

In the middle of the beach, the twins had brought their own karaoke machine so they could mess around with it a little with the others. The only ones who had been interested in singing with them were Yoruko, Iroha, and Emma. The three girls had finished a song, and the twins happily applauded them.

"That was so cool! You girls were really great!" Kanade politely praised with a smile.

"Well, I actually do a little karaoke as a hobby, I only know the songs is all..." Yoruko rambled as she blushed, reverting to a flustered demeanour. 

"If I ever got into an idol group, I'd want to be with you guys the most!" Iroha chirped, happily bouncing around.

"An idol group?" Emma questioned. "I'm a bit busy as an actress, and I don't really do a lot of singing."

"Well, I think you sounded just fine!" Hibiki exclaimed, going over to the karaoke machine again. "Let's do another song!"

Down near the waves, Setsuka, Nikei, and Mikado were fooling around, kicking water at each other and trying to outmaneuver the others. "Gah! You got some on my coat!" Nikei exclaimed, sending a wave of water at Setsuka in retaliation.

"Oh, is His Royal Highness offended at this?" Setsuka joked, with a mock curtsy. "I deeply apologize for this transgression."

"Pfft- Hahahaha! Don't say that, he might actually like that name!" Mikado added, and Nikei started attacking him with water instead.

Kokoro and Sora watched the chaos unfold from under a tree, they ended up sitting together and relaxing while digesting their meals.

"It's pretty nice out here, isn't it, Kokoro?" Sora asked, smiling as she watched her classmates. "The weather is nice, and everyone seems happy."

"The positive emotions coming from here...they're rare, but very pure." Kokoro remarked. She then noticed a certain touch on her arm and sighed. "Sora, please don't wrap yourself around my arm. I already have to deal with Emma doing that."

On the other side of the beach, Syobai was sitting with Yuri and Teruya noisily talking about business while he pitched in occasionally with his opinion. "...And that's how even people making memes on the internet managed to crash Wall Street." Teruya finished explaining.

"Yeah, that's how stocks work. Never seen that kind of incident before, heh." Syobai piped up. "The power of people really wanting to screw billionaires over really works wonders."

"Look, look! The stars are coming out!" Yuri exclaimed, pointing at the sky. Already, the sun had dipped over the horizon, and the stars of the island were visible. Because of the lack of light pollution on the Isle of Nowhere at night, the stars looked amazing from this area.

Monocrow noticed this too and came out of hiding. "Everyone, the main attraction is starting very shortly, so please come to the centre of the beach! Mr. Utsuro, do you have them?"

"Have what? What do you mean by 'main attraction?'" Mikado questioned as all of the students headed to the centre of the beach and sat down.

"Fireworks, of course! We'll be setting them off!" Monocrow exclaimed as Utsuro began setting up the fireworks. The class pressed up close against their friends, some even lying against others as they anticipated the lightshow.

This...This isn't right at all! Why am I submitting to this?! These students here, they hate me, I know this, I know this! They would never act this way towards me normally, even if there was no killing game. Come on, I need to wake up! I need to find a way to take back what I have, or even just get some fucking revenge!

The first round of fireworks went up very high and exploded in a variety of colours, gaining a bunch of 'ahhhh's from the crowd. They began relaxing more as the moon began to rise as well and shone its faint moonlight onto the students. Fireworks exploded into colour against a dark sky next to a beautiful moon.

This is a trap, set up by that foundation! They meant to imprison me inside my own utopia, a taste of karma in order to keep me docile within the program! Right, the Neo World Program can't be destroyed because of its continued power source, plus my assurances to make sure the power can't be cut again, so they needed to neutralize their little threat, those bastards!

Sora stayed steadfast as Yuki and Yoruko rested against her, smiling as she looked down at them. Emma looked very pleased as Kokoro sat on her lap, and she wasn't even making ouns for once. Hajime and Shinji sat together as they watched the fireworks go up, as did the twins while sitting on one side of Setsuka. The billiards player was leaning on Nikei, whose face was covered in blush as he tried to ignore the fact that she was on him. Iroha was curled up next to Teruya, and Yuri and Syobai sat near the outskirts of the group together.

But then again, now that I think of it, I have nothing left. If I embrace the truth and take back my sanity, then I'll just be trapped in pain with nothing but my memories. Back with bullet holes everywhere and I think Monocrow and Utsuro. Sora can't be there, maybe they transferred her onto another device. This world's Sora doesn't act like how she did in the last trial, but Monocrow and Utsuro seem to know more than this world's incarnations.

Mikado stared up at the fireworks, wondering why his body was trembling. It seemed to decrease, as did the small voice in his head that he guessed made him think or say weird things. It was getting a lot quieter now, it had been doing so for quite a long time, and he was feeling more at ease now...more complete.

I'm happy here, stuck in my fantasies. That's all I need to know. I don't need to fight back, or try to change the environment to wake myself up. Submitting and forgetting is its own kind of karma. I'll never need to calculate ever again. I'm...I'm happy.

The class continued watching as the fireworks went up, nestled up against each other as night fully fell over Utsuroshima, and their bond seemed to grow stronger with each other. Just it was supposed to be, and just as it always will be.

I decided to give up on everything.
