• The world was saved before it could ever fall into despair. Junko Enoshima was defeated, the Tragedy never came to pass, and the students of Hope’s Peak were free to pursue the futures they had always dreamed of. After graduating, Ibuki Mioda threw herself into music, quickly building a loyal following with her energetic blend of indie, nu metal, and heavy metal. As her popularity grew, so did the crowds—and the risks that came with them.

Meanwhile, Mukuro Ikusaba was left searching for a new purpose. Having abandoned her life as a mercenary, she needed a stable job and a chance to start over. When an opportunity arose to work as Ibuki’s personal bodyguard, the arrangement seemed beneficial for both of them. It was only supposed to be a professional partnership—but sharing long tours, late nights, and eventually the same home would slowly change both of their lives in ways neither of them could have predicted.*
