Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I am really happy and this inspired me to bring in the next chapter, and here the main characters are enjoying their initial school life at Hope's peak, but would soon find difficulty with travel and all, and this is where the plot comes in as they got an answer on how to manage their travel time…Well, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 2: Yasashī Onjin
The scene shifts at the streets somewhere within Tokyo, where you can see Makoto Naegi is walking as he is heading for the bus stop that would take him to the easiest route towards downtown that would lead him to Hope's Peak Academy.
He appeared initially elated, but would soon show signs of weariness.
It is shown that, in the recent weeks that passed, Naegi is enjoying his high school life after starting his studies at Hope's Peak Academy, as he gets to meet new friends, getting to know more about Hope's Peak, experiencing the privileges and its amenities; meeting upperclassmen and its graduates; and even enjoying free tuitions and all.
However, he still has to pay for the food at the cafeteria and transportation, since his home is still quite far from Hope's Peak. Naegi is starting to reel and got weary due to the distance, as well as the traffic since classes at Hope's peak starts at 8 AM, and since then he had to wake up by 5 AM and leaves his home at 6 AM in order to catch a ride and avoid getting stranded.
This didn't do much as rush hour got in the way and Naegi got stuck in traffic for nearly two hours, and he can hear the vehicles honking their horns and bad-mouthing one another just to get out of the traffic mess they are in.
"Hey!"
"Get out of the way!"
"Move it, slowpoke!"
"Get going, you asshole!"
"I'll kick your ass!"
"Beat it!"
"I'll blow your freaking car off!"
"Jackass!"
Naegi sweat-dropped as he realize that he couldn't keep this up for the whole year and started to think of a way to get to Hope's Peak faster than the usual way and decided to ask his parents if they have relatives who live near the vicinity of Hope's Peak so that he would not have to deal with the traffic and such.
"Boy…having luck does have its drawback…"
-x-
Meanwhile, the scene shows that Naegi is not the only one experiencing the weariness of the distance between Hope's Peak and one's home. The scene shifts somewhere else and a Hope's Peak Academy student is experiencing a similar situation. At the streets, a teenage girl is walking by the sidewalk as she saw the road being filled with vehicles stuck in traffic, as the area is also in this mess due to the rush hour traffic.
She can hear the driver hurling angry words as they slowly lose patience at being stuck here for almost 45 minutes and wanted to get out of the jam and began honking their car horns as a way to intimidate other drivers, but they too got shouted back.
"Hey! Stop stalling"
"Get out of the way! I'm late for work!"
"Move it, slowpoke!"
"Get going, you asshole! I can't take it anymore!"
"Quit your honking or I'll kick your ass!"
"Beat it, you motherfucker!"
"I'll blow your freaking car off!"
"Jackass!"
The girl in question turns out to be Sayaka Maizono, and she sighed seeing that she too had to endure the traffic mess as her home is also quite far from Hope's Peak Academy, and on top of that, her job as an idol also required her to head for various places to do shows along with her idol band-mates and that also required her to go to areas where traffic jams are commonplaces.
By then Maizono is joined by her fellow idols, Ayaka Haneyama and Satomi Aoba, and the two girls greeted her and Maizono is happy to see them, and the trio began talking, asking Maizono how her school life at Hope's Peak is doing, and Maizono sighed and said that while her school life is good, the traveling distance is not too good, pointing her thumb at the traffic jam they are passing.
"See…?"
"Oh."
"I see what you mean…"
"That's why I am walking right now. I can't stay in vehicles while they're stalled in a jam. I bet you two are experiencing it as well, Ayaka-chan, Satomi-chan."
"Yeah."
"Same here."
"I sure wish there is a way to ease the traffic."
"Blame it on the politicians."
"I agree."
The trio noted at the traffic jam they are seeing and they kept on talking and walking until they passed by an area where the cause of the traffic jam is revealed, and the trio saw that two cars crashed against each other and the two drivers are seen hurling angry words and insults at one another, pinning the blame against each other and refusing to budge or take responsibility.
Moreover, there is no policeman at the scene thus this impeded the traffic and the two drivers are screaming on top of their lungs.
"You fucker!"
"You motherfucker!"
"Asshole!"
"Jackass!"
"Eat my ass!"
"I'll fed you your feces!"
"Want a fight!"
"You're on!"
The trio sighed and the two idol members can see why Maizono is getting a bit of stress from the traveling, with Ayaka suggesting that she try finding a boarding house or something that is near Hope's Peak if Maizono's problem is the distance and traffic, while Satomi asked what good would it do if the rent is expensive, given that Maizono does not have a part-time job other than being a popular idol.
Ayaka smiled and said that she is sure that Maizono can come up with something, and the two idol members began to bicker as Maizono sweat-dropped at seeing her two friends argue over her case, feeling that they shouldn't get riled up because of her situation.
"Are you using your head, Ayaka?"
"What?"
"What good would it do if Sayaka could not afford the rent expenses?"
"Look, I was only…"
"Before you open your mouth think first."
"I am thinking first."
"That's not what I see."
"Satomi!"
Maizono sighed as her friends' antics are causing a scene and urged the two girls to simmer down, as she stated that she will find an affordable place to stay that is near Hope's Peak Academy, and both Ayaka and Satomi stopped their bickering, and they asked if she is sure about it, and volunteered to help her find a place to board.
"Are you sure?"
"Really?"
"Yes, you two…so stop bickering."
"…"
"…"
"I'll be fine."
"Oh, fine."
"You win, Sayaka…"
However, hilarity ensued as several passerby and even motorist stopped as they recognized the trio idols, and they began to flock them, as they wanted to shake their hands, and ask for autographs, which Maizono, Ayaka and Satomi were taken aback as more fans began to form a line to greet them and the such.
"It's the Sayakers!"
"The idols are here!"
"Please, let me have your autograph!"
"Me too!"
"Hey fall in line!"
"I was here first!"
"Screw you!"
"She's mine!"
This situation further aggravated the traffic situation, though some did not mind it as they get to catch a glimpse of the three idol members, and most appeared to place their gaze on Maizono due to being the most beautiful among the idol band members.
"Wow…"
"It's her!"
"Sayaka…"
"Sayaka Maizono…"
"The lead idol!"
"She's a cutie!"
"I want to woo her…"
"Fat chance!"
However, some are not pleased and began to press the honkers of their cars, and shouted at the other motorists to move their car elsewhere instead of stopping in the middle of the road, going as far as cursing and hurling expletives just to intimidate them into clearing a path on the road.
"Hey! Stop stalling"
"Get out of the way! I'm late for work!"
"Move it, slowpoke!"
"Get going, you asshole! I can't take it anymore!"
"Quit your honking or I'll kick your ass!"
"Beat it, you motherfucker!"
"I'll blow your freaking car off!"
"Jackass!"

Elsewhere, the scene shifts at a photo studio where the studio manager is talking to someone in person, who turns out to be Junko Enoshima, and she is talking to the studio manager about her photo shoot schedules, as she has a busy schedule in the weekdays due to attending Hope's Peak Academy, and thus she and the studio manager settled for weekends, but then they faced a hurdle, as the traffic seemed to worsen, and Enoshima's route from her home to the studio is affected, since Hope's Peak Academy's location is between her home and the studio.
The studio manager then suggested that she finds a place to stay that is near Hope's Peak so that she won't get caught in the traffic, which Enoshima is considering, as she is getting weary of getting caught in the traffic jam every morning due to rush hour.
"So how about this…"
"Hmm…?"
"Why look for a dorm that is near Hope's Peak? That way you won't have to worry about travel…"
"A dorm…hmm…"
"There's a photo studio near that academy. At least your schedule will be flexible and all…"
"I'll think about it. But thanks for the offer."
"Sure, Junko."
"See you."
Enoshima then left the studio and is considering looking for a place to stay that is near Hope's Peak, and while walking around, she glanced at the residential establishments, ranging from condominium to dormitories , where it did not piqued to her liking, feeling that the neighbors there might flock there just to get her autographs and pictures, given that she is a popular fashion model.
As she walked the streets, she saw a pair of elderly people, who were shoved by a snatcher as he grabbed the woman's purse, and is heading towards Enoshima's direction, intending to shove her aside just to make a getaway, but she tripped him before stomping his groin, disabling him before taking the stolen purse and return it to the elderly pair.
The elderly pair, both aged 60, were grateful to Enoshima and asked her if she wants a reward, but she politely declines and said she needs to go find a place to stay that is near Hope's Peak Academy, and the elderly man said that he can solve her problem.
"Wait, young lady…"
"Huh?"
"Perhaps I can solve that problem."
"What do you mean…?"
"There's a condo unit that my wife and I intend to vacate…perhaps you can have it."
"Seriously…?"
"Yes."
"Hmm…"
This made Enoshima raised an eyebrow when told that he and his wife happened to have a spare studio-type condo unit and are planning to move out, and told her that since they are planning to move out, it will be vacant, and he suggested that she invite two more people to move in with her so that Enoshima and her friends can pay the monthly rent.
The elderly couple led Enoshima to their condo unit, which was somewhat okay, and the interior and the like has led Enoshim to get interested, and she tells them that she is interested, and will take it, while at the same time gave her payment and began making a signboard that would attract two more potential person interested in a ROOM FOR RENT offer.
