HOPELESS {SDR2 READER-INSERT}

RESTAURANT {INTRODUCTIONS FINISHED!}

"So... This is the hotel restaurant." Hajime looks around in awe.

"Its enormous. We could easily hold a banquet here. It kind of has a tropical, open country feeling." Nagito says, Hajime furrows his eyebrows.

"... Open? Even though we're stuck on this island?" Hajime says, pessimistically.

"Are we really stuck here...?" Nagito asks, looking down at his feet.

"We're surrounded by water and have planes with no engines... I think we're stuck." You quietly speak up, Hajime's pessimism was rubbing off on you.

"Oh well...let's finish introducing ourselves first." Nagito quickly shrugs what you had just said off and he walks over to a girl standing with a small chubby boy, Hajime shrugs and follows him, you cross your arms in a huff and follow behind Hajime.

"That's right... I'm having a hard time because it's full of poison. It really sucks." Was the first thing you heard the boy say, and you, along with Hajime and Nagito, were confused and slightly worried.

"Speaking of which, it'd be great if you could use your mouth to suck it out..." He says, you were kind of getting an idea of what he was talking about, considering his current nose bleed.

"Poison... I see..." The girl didn't seem to understand what the boy was talking about.

"H-Hey... Do you guys have a moment?" Hajime shyly get their attention.

"Whoa... Denied..." The small chubby boy begins to comb his hair.

"Hello... It is nice to meet you." The girl greets the three of you.

"H-Hello...my name is Hajime Hinata. Nice to meet you too." Hajime introduces himself nervously.

"Hi, I'm {Y/N} {S/N}, it's nice to meet you, too." You were completely casual, you didn't know why Hajime was so nervous, the girl seemed nice.

"Why, hello there. You must be the new guy, and girl." His attention was first with Hajime, but the small fat boy turned to you.

"My name is Teruteru Hanamura. On the streets, I'm known as the Ultimate Cook... But could you guys call me the Ultimate Chef instead? It has more of a...big-city flavour to it, ya know?" The small chubby boy, Teruteru introduces himself.

"Mmhmhm, I hope we get along well." He smiles at the two of you.

"Oh, that reminds me, I have not properly introduced myself either. I am terribly sorry to keep you waiting! My name is Sonia Nevermind. I am a foreign exchange student from a small European kingdom called Novoselic. I may cause trouble here and there, but I hope we can get along well." Sonia properly introduces herself, you stood, slightly confused, not being able to figure out what her talent was.

"S-Same here... I hope we can get along, too." Hajime still sounded like a nervous wreck.

"... Are you enchanted? Well, that probably can't be helped. She's known as the Ultimate Princess, which means she's actual royalty." Nagito tells you and Hajime, you furrowed your eyebrows and looked back at Sonia.

Really, you weren't that surprised to find out she was a princess, she looked like a doll and she seemed so graceful.

"Um, this may be rude of me to say, but...truthfully, I feel happy." Sonia says.

"Huh? What...are you happy about?" Hajime questions, your first thought when he asked that was he was about to hit Sonia with some pessimism.

"In my home country, I...did not have a single friend my age whose standing in society matched my own. So, to be able to do something like this with everyone is a new experience for me... I shall extol your virtues." Sonia gives the three of you a small speech.

"Extol my virtues"...? Th-Thanks." Hajime seemed confused, but thanked Sonia anyway.

"H-Hey, you four, am I being left off the menu or something?" Teruteru tries to make his way into the conversation.

"Oh Teruteru, it's so like you to check out the restaurant first. As the Ultimate Chef, do you like it?" Nagito asks Teruteru.

"Mmhmhm...I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested. And since I do not want to be a liar, then truthfully... Yeah, I like it. Though I like the big-city flavour of my hometown, a country atmosphere like this is also splendid." Teruteru whistles.

"Hey, are you...?" Hajime starts to ask a question, but his voice grows quiet.

"Refined? Cultured? Guilty as charged!" Teruteru begins to comb his hair.

"No, not that... You just don't seem very worried, huh?" Hajime was confused by the fact that not only yourself and Nagito, but quite a few people on the island didn't seem worried by the fact that you were all trapped on an island.

"Worried? What's there to be worried about? Actually, I'm really happy..." Teruteru tells Hajime.

"Happy, why is that?" Hajime furrows his eyebrows.

"If I can get serious real quick... I have a sneaking suspicion that Miss Peko is actually a bit of a freak, if you catch my meaning. What do you think?" Teruteru asks for Hajime's opinion. You, Hajime and Nagito stare at him with a confused look while Sonia looked completely carefree, obviously not understanding what he had said.

"... What?" Hajime says quietly.

"She's probably wearing a black thong, too. What are your thoughts on that? Now then, shall we discuss this somewhere privately? C'mon, c'mon, c'mon, c'mon!" Teruteru's nose begins to bleed.

"... No thanks." Hajime declines the offer.

"Well, putting that aside for now... This might also seem unexpected to you, but... I feel like Miss Sonia over there has a good game of putting out. You see, everybody knows princesses are groomed to lack common sense, right? For example, I could tell her my "loins" are full of poison and ask her to suck it out..." Teruteru tells Hajime how he planned on getting Sonia, you weren't listening until Sonia approached the four of you.

"... Pardon me, what are you talking about?" She asks.

"We'll discuss this later!" Teruteru quickly looks at Sonia then back at Hajime.

"... I'd better not see you try that again." Nagito says to Teruteru with a smile, which made what he said seem way less intimidating.

"Anyway...when I fantasise about stuff like that, I can't help but look forward to living on this island. When it comes to cooking and love, passion is the most important ingredient. Mmhmhmhmhm!" That was when the three of you decided to say your goodbyes to Teruteru and Sonia.

As you were about to go downstairs, you heard a bell ring.

"Hajime, {Y/N}. Look at that monitor over there." Nagito points to the monitor on the wall.

"Congratulations everyone! It appears that everyone has finished collecting the Hope Fragments! I'm... I'm so happy... So...I've prepared a present for everyone that'll make you all very happy! I apologise for the trouble, but please gather at the beach! Tee hee hee! May shining hope be with you all!" Usami appeared on the screen and had asked you all to meet at the beach.

"She said to meet at the beach..." Nagito says.

"I-Is that going to be okay...? I'm starting to have a bad feeling about this." Hajime says nervously as you all walk down the stairs, out of the restaurant.

"Yes, it's going to be okay, you're just being a debby downer!"
