Hajime Hinata (Danganronpa 2)

Beep Beep Beep

Hajime Hinata reached over in an attempt to turn off the alarm clock next to his bed... wait, he didn't have an alarm clock next to his bed. Opening his eyes, he jumped back in a moment of panic - Monokuma was next to his bed, making the alarm noises.

"Bout time you got up!" The black and white bear shouted angrily, looking really miffed.

"M-Monokuma!?" Hajime cried out, having hoped to never see that creation of Junko's ever again. But, looking at the bear, he was clearly different in at least one way - his menacing right eye on the black half had been reshaped into... a heart?

"Do you know how long I was imitating an alarm clock!? 3 whole seconds!" The despsir bear waved his arms in frustration as Hajime just stared in exasperation at its bit.

"But why are you here!? The Incident is over!" He said, trying to access his talents that he'd unlocked to figure it out... but they didn't seem to want to him.

"Don't bother accessing those OP cheat skills you got." The bear put on a grin again while waving a hand dismissively, like he had been reading Hajime's mind. "In this situation, they wouldn't help you get out anyway. Upupu~" Monokuma chuckled in his usual way.

Hajime just hung his head after a second. After having gone through everything with everyone, he was a lot more composed than he used to be. "So... why did you wake me up?" He asked, looking at the bear.

"To give you the rules for the new game you'll be playing~" Monokuma teased as he handed Hajime an odd looking tablet. It resembled one of the old Monopads, but was white and pink with an 'HH' logo.

"What the heck is this?" Hajime pondered as he made to tap the screen, before being stopped by a new interruption.

"You dumb Brother! Trying to dump the explanation for the audience and him onto the HaremPad!" Hajime turned to look at the ceiling. A familiar half pink rabbit descended from the ceiling, wearing what looked like a cheap magical girl outfit.

"U-Usami!?" Hajime exclaimed in surprise. The rabbit AI looked like the Monomi form Monokuma had put her in, though her outfit was definitely her original magical girl outfit.

"Yup! Magical Miracle Girl ★ Usami. I'm an itty bitty girl who's sweet like milk! Aka, Usami!" The rabbit gave a happy little twirl. "I'm so glad you remember me like that!" She sparkled as she waved her magic stick around. "But I'm not here as your teacher this time, I'm the co host for this year's season of Harem Hotel: Jabberwok Island Edition!" Another wave of her wand and the title arched above her, looking like a rainbow.

Hajime just looked between the bunny and bear. "Just checking, but when you say Co-host..."

"Thay means me!" Monokuma cheered before looking grumpy. "Why do I have to share the spotlight with her, though!?" He shouted in frustration.

"I'm not happy about it either, but it's what we're stuck with!" Usami complained back before turning back to Hajime. "So, to clarify, when my 'little brother' said Master earlier, that means you! Congratulations!"

"Wait..." asked Hajime after a few seconds. "If you mean Master, that would imply that in charge, right?"

"Yes and no!" Monokuma piped in, grinning at the thought of disappointing him. "You do get special treatment, but you don't really call the shots around here. As the Master on Harem Hotel, you get just what that implies: your very own harem, with one lucky contestant rising above the rest to become the lucky number one in your life! They'll get some magical sorts of prizes as well, hm hm. A lot to look forward to, really, even if they weren't interested in you."

"Wait, what do you mean by... oh no..." Hajime started putting together who the other contestants were. A suspicion that Monokuma confirmed promptly for him. "Yup! All the hot ladies from your little team will be competing for your hot ass! Better not let them down!"

"Hey, stop stressing him out, Monokuma! He still needs a brief rundown of the rules!" So saying, the magical girl bunny cleared her throat before pointing at the tablet Hajime had gotten from the bear.

"That there is your Harempad! It'll be updated with a full breakdown of all of the rules of the game, which you really should reference, but the long and short of it is that contestants here are going to compete for your love and affection. A studio audience - along with an arousal meter for you - will be the ultimate deciders, while you will be the chief beneficiary!"

"In short, you can kick back, relax, and be pampered and sexually pleasured by more attendants than you'd have money to buy in your life! You lucky stud, you~!" Monokuma added, chuckling at Hajime.

Usami shook his head at her Co-host, before resuming her primer. "The winners will accumulate points, called VP, by doing things that the audience likes and that, just as importantly, your body likes. They'll also compete in fun, reality-show style contests to win these. The first to win 100 gets to become your permanent girlfriend! The others are... also your girlfriends, but with a litany of mental or physical transformations attached to them! Oh, I hadn't mentioned that part yet. Yes, losers of competitions-- and those eliminated from the contest, either due to continued resistance or going negative on VP-- will face lasting effects.

Hajime tried to process this info. After a minute, he sighed, reminding himself that his friends well-being was also contingent upon how he acted here. Speaking of other people... "Guessing I really don't have a choice either way. So, where are they right now?"

"Finally got bored of this cot?" Monokuma put an arm behind his head as he looked away. "Then let's get going meet the other contestants and tour some of the other areas of the island!"
