Chapter Text
As Yuki and Sora left Kokoro they found another person in the store, Hajime Makunochi.
"Hey, are you a Hope's Peak student?" Yuki asked.
"Huh? Who are you guys?" Before answering him. "Well I am, but..."
"Ah, I knew it. Nice to meet you. I'm Yuki Maeda, this year's Ultimate Lucky Student" Yuki cut off before introducing himself.
"Ah, so you're a classmate of mine. I'm Hajime Makunochi, Ultimate Boxer. Nice to meet ya." He realized as he Introduced himself to the duo
"Ah, I've heard of you! You're that prodigy boxer! The one who beat all those adult pros!"
"Wait Yuki you recognize me?" Hajime said in surprised as Yuki told him.
"O-Oh it's just that I heard of you some times from friends and news that's all" he meekly explained himself.
"Please you've should've seen him when he reconized me you were practically star struck!" Emma teased
"You're a famous actress Mis- I mean Emma of course I'll be shocked!" Yuki attempted to defend himself.
"You know... Compared to the others it seems you haven't changed that much from highschool..." Setsuka noticed and called out.
"Huh, maybe I just never changed as much I guess." Hajime shrugged as the viewing continued.
"Aw, you're gonna make me blush. I've still got ways to go, y'know." Hajime said a bit flustered before exclaiming "That's why I need to take extra good care of my health."
The children of Utsuro looked with dread and anger mostly on Nikei's part at Hajime knowing due to the sudden disappearance of their fortune's Hajime's health been chipping away... All they could hope that Nikei could find a definitive lead on Utsuro finally.
"Sora. Nice to meet you." She introduced himself as Hajime did the same "Yeah, call me Hajime. But do you only go by Sora?" He asked as Yuki explained."Sora has amnesia. I just met her, and she says she can't remember anything before coming to this island."
"Man, really? They say a good memory ties with good health... If there's anything I can do to help, let me know." Hajime Volunteered "Hajime, do you have any idea how we ended up in this island?" Yuki asked as Hajime respond "Well, I can't say I do know. But relax, I doubt anything bad is happening."
"... Hey Hajime?" Setsuka asked.
"Hm What is it?"
"You suddenly woke up on a island and you think "Nothing bad is going to happen?"
"You... You may have a point" Hajime admitted.
"Speaking of relaxin', here have an energy drink." Hajime offered "Huh?! Uh... No, I'm fine." Yuki declined as Hajime pressured him "Hey! A scrawny guy like you should care more about their health, y'know you gotta focus on your health while you're young!" As Yuki remarked "Heh... He kinda sounds like my mom."
"H-hey what is that supposed to mean?!" Hajime questioned
"Well... It's just that your trying to help me with health and all it just reminds me of... Her." Yuki bitterly remembered his mother as Hajime realized.
"O-Oh I didn't..."
"No it's fine you didn't mean so..."
"I'll take an energy drink, please. I want to try it." Sora requested. "Sure thing. Nothin' more important than taking care of your health."
"Hey, how does energy drinks help with health? Don't they do the opposite most of the time?" Yoruko queried.
"Only when consumed regularly, but it's fine if you drink it once a day or such." Hajime explained.
"I honestly expected you to say to "Trust me man" or something like that." Nikei admitted.
"H-hey! Why is everyone suddenly trying to gang up on me?!" Hajime complained.
"If it have any questions, feel free to come to me at any time." Hajime allowed.
"Hajime... Aren't you cold wearing something like that?" She asked.
"Huh...? Oh, that doesn't really anything to do with health. Clothes just get in the way of training, that's all." Hajime explained a bit confused.
"Are you a pervert...?"
"Wh- Pervert?! The hell is she making fun of boxing?!" Hajime affronted.
"How is that related to boxing in anyway...?" Yuki muttered.
"Mr Makunochi, due to the fact "Sora" lost her memories her social awareness is probably gone as well." Kokoro rationalized.
Hajime reluctantly kept quiet due to knowing that he couldn't be mad for long.
"The hell did you say?! You making fun of boxing?!" Hajime said offended.
"What does that have to do with boxing...?" Yuki questioned before he and Sora left Hajime and U-Mart.
"Huh, that last part was basically identical to what you two said just now..." Akane noticed.
"It's Probably... just due to being the same person despite being in the p- I mean future." Yoruko responded as Yuki and Sora arrived in what seemed to be the central park of the island and approached a young man.... Shinji Kasai.
"Oh, hi you much be a Hope's Peak stu-" Yuki attempted to introduce himself only to be cut off by the man's loud voice.
"What a weakling!!!" Shinji screamed at him.
"Eeehh?!" Yuki said astonished.
"Your FACE is weak! Your VOICE is weak! Now, give me a FIREY shout with aaaallll you've got!" Shinji exclaimed excitedly.
"H-Hope's Pea-" Yuki confused tried to say but Shinji interrupted it again.
"Not enough fiiiiiirrrrrreeeeeee!!!"
"ARE YOU A HOPE'S PEAK ACADEMY STUDENT?!" Yuki shrieked.
"THAT'S RIGHT!!! I'M A HOPE'S PEAK ACADEMY STUDENT!!!" Shinji responded.
The group awkwardly looked at the much older and mature Shinji as he embarrassed rubbed the back of his head.
"I was one hell of a kid was I...?"
"Yeah that's for sure" Nikei responded
As Sora looked at the two looking confused "..." As the three looked at each other in silence.
"Dude, you shoulda told me there was a girl... Aw man, this is so embarrassing.." Shinji responded flustered as Yuki comforts him "... it's okay, I'm just as embarrassed as you are."
"Uh... Anyway, nice to meet ya. You must be my classmate right? I'm the Ultimate Firefighter, Shinji Kasai." He introduced himself.
"Shinji... Did I heard of that before" Akane muttered to herself trying to recall her memory.
"O-Oh well I've been it quite a lot of incidents so... No shame not remembering me...!" Shinji awkwardly responded.
"You're still the same around woman aren't you Shinji!" Setsuka teased him.
"I-it's just that... I'm still I am awkward towards woman ok...?" Shinji attempted to explain.
"B-but weren't you talking to me just fine a few moments ago?" Iroha asked.
"No it's just that you remind me of my younger daughter that's all and other experiences." Shinji responded his voice straighting.
"Daughter...? Wait your married?!" Yoruko realized looking baffled.
"O-Oh yes I am actually...! Is there something wrong?" Shinji questioned.
"No it's nothing much, it's just that considering your... Nature around girls I find it hard that you would get married and have kids even!" Yoruko exclaimed as Shinji blushed in remembrance.
"N-no it was quite the opposite actually! I remember my old highschool friends saying I was "quite popular with the ladies" or something like that..." Shinji reluctantly explained.
"On second thought... That makes sense." Yoruko said before continuing watching.
"Nice to meet you. I'm the Ultimate Lucky Student, Yuki Maeda." Yuki introduced himself "Oh-ho, luck I heard that every year they have a lottery for the Ultimate Lucky Student. Must've been you."
"Yeah, so I'm really nothing special." Yuki said modestly.
"TOO SOFT! Be more confident, would ya! Say it with me: "I'm the world's greatest guy!!!" Shinji encouraged him.
"Huh?! not this again!" Yuki worriedly said.
"IM THE WORLD'S GREATEST GUY!!!" Shinji continued to encourage him.
"IM THE WORLD'S GREATEST GUYYYYY!!!" Yuki screamed.
"YEAH!!!"
Sora looked at the two as both of their expressions died down as Shinji embarrassed whisperered to Yuki.
"...Yo Yuki. You shoulda told me a girl was watching. I wanna kill myself right now."
"Isn't that a bit too far?!" Hajime asked as Yuki sighed.
"Well I understand the feeling of doing something dumb around a girl..."
Most of the guys in the cast agreed with Yuki as they looked at the screen again.
"Wait this is your fault, isn't it?!" Yuki complained as Shinji happily responded.
"That's it, Yuki! I like you a lot. Call me your Big Bro from now on! I'll train ya."
"Wait, what?!" Yuki confused said.
"Don't sweat it kid! I had to drop out of school for a couple of years due to an injury, so I'm older than ya." Shinji elaborated.
"That's not the problem!"
"Can I call you Big Bro, too?" Sora requested bluntly.
"...!" N-no you shouldn't... Geez a girl just talked to me..." Shinji his face red embarrassed said.
"You really were a mess with girls as a high schooler, Huh...?" Nikei commented.
"Well barely interacting with them in highschool is probably the reason why." Shinji answered as Setsuka sighed.
"It probably didn't take much for your wife to fluster you right?"
"W-Well It's just uh..." Shinji stuttered over his words.
"It's ok Shinji it makes sen-" Yuki tried to speak only to be cut off.
"Call me Big Bro not Shinji, Yuki!" He said regaining his voice.
"W-Wait what?! But you are much older than me-" Yuki asked surprised.
"No it's no big deal after all with your... Condition I feel like I need to help ok?" Shinji requested as Yuki subsided his questions.
"Wait are you..."
"Hehe... The name's Shinji Kasai I'm a... Humble firefighter and you...?" Shinji once again introduces himself to Sora as she responds "Sora."
"I... I hope we can get along..."
"Aren't you a softie." Yuki comments as Shinji personality swapped back to usual.
"Huh?! What'd you say, Yuki?! Get over here and Big Bro will PERSONALLY train you! Start with some laps!" Shinji ordered as Yuki said startled. "Huh?! W-wait! I wanted to ask you some- Aaahh..." Yuki said while being dragged away.
"What an interesting person..." Sora said as she went to the next person a certain former billiard's played turned detective.
