These two stories originally came from the Danganronpa in One Building Simulator. Enjoy.
(Asora and Mariko Cook Waffles)
Asora Echiko and Mariko Reiki, two unlikely friends, decided to spend a relaxing afternoon together, cooking waffles. Asora, an ethical hacker with a passion for anime, had been feeling a bit stressed lately, and Mariko, an architect known for her quick temper, wanted to cheer her up.
Their kitchen was a cozy space, filled with the aroma of vanilla extract and freshly ground cinnamon. Asora, wearing a black hoodie with the name of her favorite anime character on the back, expertly mixed the batter in a large yellow bowl. Meanwhile, Mariko sat at the kitchen island, doodling blueprints on a notepad.
As the waffles began to cook, Asora couldn't help but ask Mariko about her work. Mariko, who usually spent all her time designing buildings, was more than happy to talk about her latest project. She explained how she was designing a new skyscraper that would be the tallest building in Japan. Asora listened intently, trying not to show how clueless she felt about architecture.
Suddenly, the waffle iron beeped, signaling that the first batch was ready. Mariko, always eager to try new foods, couldn't wait to taste Asora's waffles. She took a bite and her eyes widened in surprise. "These are amazing, Asora! You're a natural-born chef!"
Asora blushed, feeling a warm glow inside. She was used to hiding her insecurities and pretending to know what was going on, but hearing Mariko's praise made her feel genuinely happy. They continued to cook and eat waffles, chatting about their favorite anime characters and sharing stories from their past.
Just as they were finishing up, there was a commotion outside. It sounded like someone was being bullied. Mariko's eyes flashed with anger, and she instinctively stood up to protect her friend. Asora, used to seeing this side of Mariko, tried to calm her down. "It's okay, Mariko. Let's just stay here and finish our waffles."
But it was too late. Mariko had already rushed out of the kitchen, ready to face whatever danger lurked outside. Asora sighed, knowing that she would have to follow her friend. They stepped out to see a group of boys harassing a smaller girl. Without hesitation, Mariko charged at the boys, swinging her fists wildly. Asora watched in awe as her friend transformed into a fearless warrior, ready to protect the innocent.
In the end, the bullies were sent running, and the girl was safe. Asora and Mariko returned to the kitchen, exhausted but satisfied. They shared one last waffle, both lost in thought about the day's events. Asora realized that despite their differences, she and Mariko were more alike than she ever thought possible.
(Mint hangs out with Hideki at pool)
Mint Byrne is a timid and shy world renowned herbalist who prefers to talk to plants instead of people. One day, he decides to try socializing for once. He writes a letter inviting Hideki Takahashi to hang out with him at the pool. Hideki, a naturally likable and charismatic con artist, accepts the invitation.
As they arrive at the pool, Mint is nervous and awkward, while Hideki is his usual charming self. They both take a seat at a table near the pool. Mint fidgets with his towel, unsure of how to start a conversation with Hideki. On the other hand, Hideki strikes up a friendly conversation about the weather, asking Mint about his gardening.
Mint is hesitant at first, but eventually warms up to Hideki's friendly demeanor. They talk about their interests and hobbies, with Mint revealing that he loves taking care of his herbs and making natural remedies. Hideki listens intently, nodding along and asking questions about Mint's methods.
As they continue to chat, Mint begins to feel more comfortable around Hideki. He even finds himself laughing at some of Hideki's jokes, which is something he rarely does around strangers. They share stories about their lives and their experiences.
The afternoon passes by quickly, and before they know it, it's time to leave. Mint offers to give Hideki a tour of his garden, and Hideki eagerly agrees. As they walk through the garden, Mint shows off his prized herbs and shares his knowledge with Hideki. In return, Hideki teaches Mint a few tricks on how to make his remedies more appealing to a wider audience.
At the end of the day, both Mint and Hideki part ways, feeling a newfound appreciation for each other. Mint has learned that talking to people can be enjoyable, and Hideki has discovered that there's more to life than just scams and cons. They exchange contact information, promising to stay in touch and continue their unlikely friendship.
