Hey everyone! I'm glad that this story isn't forgotten, at least not yet anyways. Time for the next set of Freetime Events. I know this is supposed to be my pick, but I think I'll take some inspiration from the most recent reviews people have sent. Hope you learn more about these characters!

Chapter 2-3: Beat to the Sound of Friendship- Freetime Events 2

Daisuke woke up the next day to the sound of the morning announcement. He slowly got out of bed and headed to the cafeteria for breakfast.

When he got there, he noticed that most everyone else was at the table already, even Fujin, as hard as that was to believe. He took his usual seat as he waited with the others for breakfast to be ready.

Soon enough, Monokuma came out of the kitchen, pushing a cart full of food out. "Hope you bastards are hungry!" He said before he noticed them staring at him with less then pleasant expression. "What's the matter with you all? I slaved over a hot stove all morning and this is the thanks I get?"

"It should be obvious that we find your presence to be distasteful." Angelo said.

"What the prick said." Katsumi said.

"Hmph, if that's how you all feel." Monokuma comically pouted before he disappeared.

"About time he left." Daisuke said before they got their preferred breakfasts and started eating.

"Not as good as Soleil's." Harumi said, earning some noises of agreement and Soleil blushing lightly.

"It's not that good, but thanks." Soleil said.

"You're welcome." Harumi said. The students soon finished eating and started heading off to do their own thing for the time being.

Daisuke wandered through the halls before he heard the sound of clanging metals. He walked towards the sounds amd discovered it was coming from Angelo's Ultimate Lab. He opened the door and saw Angelo dueling against a training dummy.

Daisuke blinked and quietly stepped up, watching as Angelo performed various duel moves and techniques that it was like watching a dance. Angelo soon stopped, hold out his sword at the dummy.

"I was unaware that I had an audience." Angelo said as he moved the sword away and sheathed it.

"Oh, sorry, it's just that, you looked so focused on what you were doing that I didn't want to break it." Daisuke said.

"Quite considerate of you." Angelo said as he walked up to the other. "Do you have an interest in dueling?"

"Um, I don't think I would be very good at it." Daisuke said.

"Hm, perhaps not. I have had years training in the castle with my bodyguards and other such mentors." Angelo said.

"Sometimes it's hard for me to believe that you're a real prince." Daisuke said.

"I understand the concept is difficult to grasp as it is uncommon. Alas, I am the prince of the kingdom of Furalaas." Angelo said.

"Isn't that your last name?" Daisuke asked.

"Correct, my kingdom is named after my family." Angelo said.

"Why's that?" Daisuke asked, tilting his head.

"It's a history that I would rather prefer we not discuss at this point in time." Angelo said.

"Is it something bad?" Daisuke asked.

Angelo took a moment to consider his wording. "Every royal family has some dark history they would rather do without, mine is more complicated than what is considered normal. I will properly explain it to you at another time. Now, if you would let me continue my practice." Angelo said as he drew his sword again.

"Oh, sure. See you later then." Daisuke said before he left the Ultimate Lab. "What was that all about?" He asked himself as he walked away.

As he walked, he noticed Torahiko heading towards his own Ultimate Lab.

"Torahiko?" Daisuke asked as he walked up to the other.

"Hm? Oh, hello Daisuke. I thought you were Xeno for a second." Torahiko said.

"Yeah, I can understand that. You two are usually together." Daisuke said.

"Yes, I have no idea why he would want to be around me." Torahiko said.

"True, you can be kinda mean with how you speak at times, but there must be something about you he likes." Daisuke said.

"I suppose. Would be the first time." Torahiko said.

"What do you mean?" Daisuke asked.

"I suppose I should tell you. My mother abandoned me at an orphanage. I guess she simply didn't want to raise me." Torahiko said.

"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. Did you get adopted?" Daisuke asked, watching as Torahiko's expressions changed, either from memory or trying to figure out what he should say.

"I suppose you can say that. A number of kids were taken in by a group of people and I was one of those kids." Torahiko said.

"Who was that group?" Daisuke asked.

"It's best you don't know, if I'm being honest. Now if you'll excuse me." Torahiko said as he entered his Ultimate Lab, closing the door behind him and locking it.

"Best not knowing?" Daisuke asked himself as he walked off.

Before he got far, he came across a really rare sight, Fujin being outside of her room on her own violation. He walked up to her. "Hey Fujin."

Fujin turned to him, her expression the usual sour look, but that seems to have faded a bit, perhaps because he had spent some time with her. "Oh, what do you want?"

"I just wanted to talk, that's all. I didn't really get to learn anything new about you since the last time we've talked." Daisuke said.

"Maybe because I don't want to talk about personal stuff like that." Fujin said, rolling her eyes.

"But, what about making friends?" Daisuke asked.

"I don't like getting attached, okay? The best you'll get from me is being one of my followers, and even then that's just a persona." Fujin bluntly said.

"Why don't you like getting attached to people?" Daisuke asked.

"It might be because I grew up isolated. Might be because I was homeschooled. There are a lot of reasons about why that could be." Fujin said, though Daisuke seemed to notice something when she talked.

"You were abandoned by someone you were attached to, isn't that right?" Daisuke asked, causing Fujin to freeze for a moment.

"How did you know that?" Fujin demanded.

"I'm the Ultimate Little Brother, I help people through bonding and caring." Daisuke explained.

"Whatever. Just because you figured it out doesn't mean I'll tell you." Fujin said as she walked away, well, more like stomped away.

Daisuke sighed. "I wish she would open up."

By the time the nighttime announcement went off, Daisuke was already in his room, laying on his bed. He sighed quietly before letting himself drift off to sleep.

But when he woke up the next morning, there was something odd. A piece of paper was on the table in his room. He went over and picked it up, seeing a childish script on one side of it.

'Have fun with this secret~'

And there we have it for the last freetime event for Chapter 2. Next chapter is the Motive and Murder, but I bet you guys can get a good guess on what the motive is gonna be.

I honestly surprised myself that I got this out on time. Drama with family, with one of my aunts dying, and my papa falling down the stairs and going to the hospital, took up most of my time. But I'm glad I at least kept this promise to myself and kept it going. Anyways, I'll see y'all next time. Chaos, out!
