Hello, fellow fic readers! First of all, I want to thank you for the reviews you sent. It really meant a lot to me and this inspired me to work on the next chapter, and I promise you're going to enjoy them as I'll make sure you won't be disappointed at what you're about to see, and the story is now underway as the wealthy Sheikh is making preparations on creating a racing themed reality show as he scour all over Japan and then makes preparations to recruit and entire most of the casts of Danganronpa series.

And the Arabian multibillionaire, a.k.a. the sheik, is shown to making plans to push through with his proposed racing event under the guise of a reality show while he gets to know more about the Danganronpa casts which will soon become apparent once he meets with them in person.

So buckle up and enjoy.

Tokyo Japan...

The scene shows that it was Day 2 of the tour that the wealthy sheik is commencing, intending to study the routes of the race he intend materialize, and see what are the advantages and disadvantages in the race he is cooking, and with him is his loyal servant who is holding the map of Japan, and right now they are in Kyushu, in the vicinity of Fukuoka. There the sheik is studying the roads and the flow of traffic, seeing this as a perfect way to make the starting point, and his servant is outlining a makeshift map to show the routes that the intended participants would take.

"Master..."

"Yes?"

"How is this?"

"Perfect! Just perfect!"

"Then shall I make the same at the other routes?"

"Of course!"

"Very well, sir..."

"Good...now...next!"

After that, the sheikh and his servant move out and they are now in Hiroshima area, taking notes of the roads and other routes and there the sheik is impressed by the prefectures' landscapes and continued to move to another prefecture, until they reached the next area, which is Kyoto, and there the sheik finds himself impressed by its landscape and other landmarks, while glancing at the attractive girls, which some giggled and other turned off by his manic antics which his servant had to remind his master to behave himself.

"Master..."

"What is it now?"

"Please behave..."

"But I am!"

"You are not...we are not in Saudi Arabia...the culture here is different...and you might attract unwanted attention..."

"Seriously?"

"Yes..."

"Fine..."

After several hours, the two Arab men went to Honshu, where the sheik is observing the vast area around him while his servant is outlining the roads and other routes, and he sighed seeing that his master is "impressed" at what he is seeing and sighed seeing how rather "childish" his master can act, yet he is fine since he is enjoying himself while at the same time wondered if his master could pull off such a scheme and asks him how he could pull off such a plan considering that he has to persuade the Hope's academy students into participating while trying to cover it up with a reality show to trick the Japanese Diet into thinking that nothing is illegal.

"...is that what you're worrying about?"

"Yes, master...think about it..."

"I AM thinking about it..."

"There's the government of this country...then the network stations here...getting permission to..."

"I will solve these obstacles...for my family in Saudi is the greatest among the greatest!"

"And the academy students of Hope's Peak?"

"I will address it!"

"Sir...very well..."

After assuring his servant that he has everything planned out, the two Arab men decided to take a break and went to lunch, as it is 12 noon, and there the two boarded a limousine and went to the nearest McDonald's restaurant to dine. After 30 minutes they are back on the road, passing and observing other key areas such as Kyoto, up to Mt. Fuji, and by the end of the day they arrived at the north of Aomori, and there they amassed a lot of data and the two men began making further plans before making their next move.

A few days later, the scene shifts to Tokyo General Hospital, where Sakura Ohgami and Aoi Asahina are visiting someone, and you can see the rather somber look on Ohgami's face as she is seen carrying a bouquet of flowers while the Swimmer is trying to lift the Martial Artist's spirits which seemed to alleviate Ohgami's worried feeling and she is grateful to Asahina for insisting that she come along to see someone who is currently confined here, which Asahina assured that it is nothing as long as she could offer anything to help.

"Thank you, Asahina..."

"Sure, no problem, Sakura-chan..."

"I'm glad I accepted your insistence in coming along..."

"What are friends for...?"

"If not, I might have..."

"No need to brood over it...I'm sure HE is going to be happy that he gets to see you visiting him..."

"You're right..."

"We're almost there..."

Soon the two girls arrived at their destination, where the person they intend to visit is none other than Kenishiro, and there his parents are there and they are pleased to see Ohgami coming to visit their son and both them and Ohgami know each other and they greeted each other in return, much to Asahina's surprise, seeing that both parties are familiar with one another, especially when she was told about how Ohgami and Kenishiro's family first met.

"Ah, Sakura..."

"It's nice to see you..."

"Good day to both of you..."

"Thank you..."

"Thank you for coming..."

"It is nothing..."

"I sure Kenishiro would be happy to see you..."

"Our son has not yet been awakened..."

"I see...oh, let me introduce you to my classmate and friend..."

Ohgami then introduced Asahina to Kenishiro's parents and they greeted each other, and there they all gathered in front of Kenishiro, who is asleep yet his face was covered in an oxygen mask that is connected to an oxygen tank and there Ohgami asks his parents about Kenoshiro's condition, and there they told her that while stable, Kenishiro needed a heart operation and it would require a huge sue about nearly one million Yen, and Ohgami could only nod while silent, and she wished she could do something to help but she herself has no financial means to help her sedated lover.

"...so that's it..."

"Yes..."

"It is a problem..."

"I am sorry...I wish I could do something to help..."

"That's alright, Sakura..."

"Visiting our son has been a big help to us..."

"I will try something and see if I..."

"You don't have to..."

"We will find a way...you don't have to..."

Asahina watched the scene in silence, feeling sympathy for Ohgami and Kenishiro's family, and she wondered if there is anything she could do to help her friend and Kenishiro's family, and wished that there is a sign that could help both parties and give them hope, as she doesn't want Ohgami to spend the next several days worrying over something that is beyond her control and glanced at the window, seeing that the skies are clear and birds flying below the clouds.

Elsewhere, the scene shifts to the streets as Yasuhiro Hagakure was running for his life as he is being pursued by a car which houses several mafia goons with Fuyuhiko Kuzuryu leading, and they were firing a lot of ammo, which were only air gun pellets, intending to "bring down" the Super High School-level Fortune Teller as Fuyuhiko wanted Hagakure "dead" for tricking one of his secretaries to shell out nearly a million Yen just to get a fortune reading and he wanted to make Hagakure pay, even if he has to take him down.

"WWWAAHHH!"

"COME BACK HERE, YOU AFRO-STYLE ASSHOLE!"

"I'M REALLY SORRY!"

"SORRY MY BUTT!"

"I PROMISE I'LL PAY YOU BACK!"

"CAN YOU SHELL OUT A MILLION YEN IN AN HOUR?!"

"GIVE ME TIME!"

"TIME TO KILL YOU!"

Despite Hagakure's pleas that he promised to pay him back, Fuyuhiko doesn't want to hear it and told his goons to keep firing, and Hagakure ran a little faster and took a sharp turn at a corner street and saw a fence of a posh house and jumped over and hid behind a parked car and managed to hide himself there as the car passed by the house as the goons are still pursuing their target, unaware that Hagakure gave the a slip. As the coast is clear, Hagakure sighed but then he is startled as a rottweiler is standing behind him, growling, and the Fortune Teller tried to sooth the guard dog down, with little success.

"There, there...nice doggie..."

At a recording studio, Sayaka Maizono and her idol band had just finished recording their upcoming album and as they are taking a break, they saw another recording artist there, and Maizono recognized her as Ibuki Mioda, and there Mioda saw Maizono and the two singers meet up and exchanged greetings which would soon form a friendly conversation as they met a few times at Hope's Peak Academy, and the two girls seemed to get along well due to their status as singers.

"Wow, Sayaka-chan...you sure made it big..."

"Yeah...but..are you sure about this...?"

"What do you mean...?"

"You becoming a punk-rock singer?"

"Why not? It's my style..."

"I guess if that's where you're comfortable..."

"No need to worry...I'm okay...anyway..."

"What...?"

Their conversation would soon shift from music to love life as Mioda brought up the subject about Maizono hanging out with Naegi and insinuating that she has feelings for him, and despite her denials, her blushing face gave her away and Mioda began teasing her but questioned if she really wants to hang out with an "ordinary boy" when there are even more handsome guys, but Maizono said that she prefers someone who doesn't stand out, and Naegi fits the bill, and there Mioda teases her again.

"Ooohh...so you prefer normal boys...then that means you have an eye only for Naegi-kun...because he is normal-looking..."

"Ah..."

"I must say, for an ordinary boy like Naegi-kun...he sure looks cute..."

"But..."

"See...you're blushing...that means you like him..."

"About that...I...um..."

"You like Naegi-kun...you like Naegi-kun..."

"I'm not!"

By then the two girls stopped their friendly argument when they noticed three boys passing by just outside the studio, and the three boys turn out to be Makoto Naegi, Nagito Komaeda and Hajime Hinata, and there the three boys are rather arguing about Nagito acquiring a lottery ticket which he picked up, and Hinata tries to persuade him to return the ticket to the owner, but Nagito said that there hasn't been anybody coming to retrieve the ticket and said he is "lucky" to get it and when Naegi said that the owner might be around looking for it, Nagito seemingly relented and is willing to listen.

"Look, Komaeda-san..."

"What?"

"I think it's best that you return it to the owner..."

"Really...?"

"Really."

"Okay...you return it."

"Eh? Me?"

"Yeah...since you insisted it..."

Nagito then gave the ticket to Naegi, and as Naegi is about to ponder how to find the owner, the owner came and found his lost lottery ticket and thinks that the Luckster took it and grabbed him by the collar, accusing him of stealing it which Naegi flatly denied it while defending himself as Hinata is startled with worry and Nagito just watching the scene as if it was nothing.

"Komaeda..."

"What, Hinata?"

"Did you do that on purpose?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You knew that this would happen..."

"Of course not...but worry not...it will be fine..."

"But...huh?"

"Whoa..."

The irate owner then punched Naegi on his cheek and the teen is knocked out, and there Maizono saw it and got worried and rushes out of the studio and went to her friend's side, trying to wake him up. Nagito then told Maizono that Naegi is "not breathing" and suggested that she try mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, which she did, and Naegi woke up and is surprised to feel Maizono's lips on his and sat up, while Maziono is relieved to see him sitting up.

"Maizono-san...?"

"Naegi-kun! Thank goodness you're okay!"

"Wait..."

"Huh?"

"Why did you...?"

"I use first aid on you! You weren't breathing..."

"Eh? I am! I wasn't out of breath or anything!"

"Then..."

After Maizono explained her actions to Naegi, Nagito commented that Naegi got LUCKY as he gets to experience his "first kiss" with the Idol, and both Naegi and Maizono blushed as Mioda came out and berated Nagito into manipulating Maizono for giving her first kiss unintentionally, and Naegi fainted from embarrassment as Hinata sighed seeing that they were causing a scene in front of some crowd.

At their hangout you can see the Crazy Diamond Gang are watching a racing game involving racing cars, and both Mondo Ohwada and Takemichi Yukimaru are watching the event on TV, and Yukimaru commented about the scenario about joining a racing event and Ohwada said that it would be impossible since they aren't professional racers and that they need a huge sponsor if they are to join in a racing event or career, but Yukimaru said he is only wondering, though Ohwada said that it's not bad to dream if he sets his sight on it.

"You serious, Yukimaru?"

"Just wondering, boss..."

"Heh...it's not bad to dream..."

"Really?"

"But we're bikers...not racers...and we're not even professionals..."

"I guess dreaming is as far as I can go..."

"It's not a bad thing..."

"You're right, boss..."

At his rented inn, the sheik, his servant, and his hired hacker, are assembled and there the hacker managed to hack in on the files of some of the students of Hope's Peak Academy, and there the sheik is rather baffled at seeing that each student has a "Super High School-level" title and wondered why Hope's Peak Academy would give certain students some of the assigned titles, but the hacker said that when each student possesses a certain skill, the academy heads would give him/her the corresponding title and once that student graduate, he/she will be successful in that field of expertise in later years.

"...and that's that, sir..."

"Hmph...I didn't know Japanese educators would give certain student such title...they sure are weird..."

"But take this from me...I've seen few students graduating...and they have reached the pinnacle of their careers...thanks to their titles..."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Fine, fine...can you show me the list of certain students which you think would be the best for my upcoming scheme...?"

"Here..."

"Wow..."

By then the sheik saw the list of names and asks the hacker for any information about the said students and after a few minutes certain videos about the academy students are downloaded, and after seeing them, the sheik is impressed enough and there his servant reminded his master about having an appointment with some of the government organizations so that the sheik can convince them to allow him to shoot a reality show and then air it here in Japan and in Saudi Arabia, and the sheik nodded and began to make preparations for that task.

-x-

The next day the sheik went to several government agencies and had an appointment with them, sweet-talking them into making them believe that he is here to shoot certain video scenes on a pretense of making a reality show set in Japan, and then air it on his native country, and by a stroke of luck, he was able to convince them and was allowed to do a reality show here, and the sheik leaves immediately after giving his thanks. He then went to his servant and hacker and asks them to help pinpoint the home addresses of certain academy students as he planned on inviting them to a location so that he can entice them to participate in his planned racing event and determine who would accept and who wouldn't.

"...and that's how it happened..."

"Well said, sir..."

"Now then...my hired hacker..."

"Yes...?"

"Provide me the address of the students you downloaded..."

"Okay...but for what reason..."

"I will send them my invitation!"

"Okay..."

"As you wish..."

-x-

Three days later, several of the Hope's Peak Academy students received e-mail invitations from the sheik (who has not identified himself to the prospects yet), inviting them to a meeting at a certain location within Tokyo and the invitation is enticing enough as the sender stated in the e-mail that he wishes to invite them to star in a reality show with a huge prize going to the winner, and some of the students were enticed to attend the meeting while others declined, but a select few decided to attend this meeting out of curiosity.
