A Melancholic Melody (Non-Despair AU Danganronpa X Male Reader)

Meeting The Ultimates, Part One

Y/N's POV

Once the plane had landed, I gathered my things, and headed for the exit...so this is Japan...pretty nice place, if I do say so myself.

???: Whisper "look at that guy, all bruised up...I bet he's a delinquent..."

???: Whisper "no kidding..."

...I can see people starting to give me weird looks. I'm going to have to buy something to cover my face.

I began to look around for any stores, and even when I DID find some, they wouldn't accept U.S dollars, so now I have to find a way to get Yen...just great.

~~timeskip~~

It took some time, but I finally managed to get 100,000 dollars worth of Yen...I should be good for at least a couple years...unless there's an inflation problem that I'm unaware of.

Anyway...now to find a place where they sell things that can cover my face...I hope the school staff allow me to wear things like this...

~~timeskip...again~~

After I found some sunglasses and a face mask, I walked out from the airport, and took a good look around...time to find Hope's Peak...it shouldn't be too hard, considering it's the most well-known place in Japan...no, the entire world! But...apart from the name, I don't know how the building looks like, so...it's time to ask strangers for directions...one of my many, many fears.

"E-excuse me..."

???: "hm? What do you want, kid?"

"um...d-do you know wh-where I could f-find Hope's P-Peak Academy, sir? I-I'm expected there today..."

???: "Oh, great, another one of you "Ultimates"...just keep going down this road until you see an intersection, take a left, go straight again, and you should see this gigantic building with the weird shield symbol on its wall. That's Hope's Peak. Now go away."

"Th-thank you..."

I walked away with my luggage, and sighed...at least it was over, but man, what an asshole! I just wanted directions! Are all Japanese people like this?!...no, they couldn't be. I'm sure that guy is just having a bad day or something...

Anyway, I went over the guy's directions in my head, and began to walk forward...I hope that guy actually gave me accurate directions, or else I'd probably end up in a bad part of town...

~~small timeskip~~

I've...I've been walking for around 30 minutes now...and I can't see the giant building anywhere! Guess the guy really did give me the wrong directions...God damn it.

As I looked around to analyze my surroundings, I heard what seemed to be hurried footsteps, but by the time I looked at where they were coming from, I felt something crash right into me, knocking me down onto the ground.

"Ow..."

???: "Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!"

"I-It's fine..."

I got back up to my feet, and dusted myself off, placing my sunglasses over my regular glasses again.

"H-hey, um...d-do you know wh-where Hope's Peak is...? I-I tried getting directions, b-but...they just led m-me to somewhere c-completely different..."

???: "Oh! That's actually where I was headed! Wanna go there together?"

...may as well accept, or I could end up in a missing person's list...

"S-sure..."

As both of us began to walk, I turned to face him...he has that thing on top of his head...what's it called? An ahoge, right?...yeah, that's it.
