''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12737228/1/Everyday-Life-with-Ultimate-Girls Everyday Life with Ultimate Girls]]'' is a ''Franchise/{{Danganronpa}}'' fanfic created by [[https://www.fanfiction.net/u/4072734/wesst1 wesst]].

After accidentally finding himself being assigned to the girls' dormitory because of his luck, [[Characters/DanganronpaMakotoNaegi Makoto Naegi]] finds his time in Hope's Peak becoming exceptionally bizarre. While the girls first don't trust him, they soon find that Makoto is far from what they thought he'd be.

!!''Everyday Life with Ultimate Girls'' provides examples of:
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Makoto is generally considered one of the gentlest people that one can know, and is an absolute NiceGuy and AllLovingHero. However, he does '''not''' take kindly to seeing those he cares about being threatened in any way, which also makes him a ChickMagnet, though he is somewhat [[CluelessChickMagnet oblivious]] to this.
** During an attempted coup and assassination on [[PrincessClassic Sonia Nevermind]], he sees her [[DiplomaticImpunity treacherous ambassador Wudagest]] attempt to shoot her, pushing her out of the way and [[TakingTheBullet getting shot in the shoulder]] for his troubles. When Wudagest accuses her of being no different than her evil ancestors, Makoto breaks down that he does not trust the people while Sonia's faith is to her country and her people.
** When he stumbles upon [[PassionateSportsGirl Aoi Asahina]] being insulted by her date (a male model) as sweaty and unfeminine [[DisproportionateRetribution when she calls him out for getting mad at a girl for dropping ice cream on his outfit]] (she was undergoing a crisis of femininity, and was tricked by Junko Enoshima into thinking that a date would help her self-esteem) [[GreenEyedMonster out of jealousy]] [[AttentionWhore due to others paying attention to her instead of him]], Makoto punches him and gives him a brutal TheReasonYouSuckSpeech, humiliating him.
** After [[ThinSkinnedBully Hiyoko Saonoji]] pulls a number of pranks with the potential for severe harm (putting tacks in the shoes of [[IdolSinger Sayaka Maizono]], nearly tricking [[BigEater Akane]] [[PromotionToParent Owari]] into eating poison ivy which could have killed her, and kicking a ladder being used by her favorite target [[ShrinkingViolet Mikan]] [[{{Woobie}} Tsumiki]]), Makoto decides he's had enough of her bratty behavior and tricks her into drinking [[SoapPunishment mouthwash]] disguised as fruit punch.
*** That being said, when her insulting two drunk delinquents leads to her [[AttemptedRape nearly getting raped]], Makoto (who was getting agar-agar for anmitsu in an attempt to rebuild relations between her and the rest of the class) immediately springs into action and defends her, taking several punches but refusing to divulge her location. It's these actions that make her undergo a HeelRealization and fall for him.
* BigBrotherWorship:
** While not related by blood, the Warriors of Hope do call Makoto "Mako-nii" and give him the nickname of Legendary Hero. While they were untrusting of him at first as he met them as a substitute teacher in the uncaring Hope's Peak Elementary, because of his [[NiceGuy kind]] [[FriendToAllChildren nature]], hard work to help them in their studies, attempts to deal with their [[AbusiveParents bad home lives]], and [[spoiler:eventually him [[InterruptedSuicide saving them from committing suicide]] and helping them find new homes (with Monaca even getting formally [[HappilyAdopted adopted]] by Makoto's family)]], they greatly all admire him.
** In addition, Komaru Naegi also looks up to her big brother due to his kind heart, which leads her to pull a gender-flipped version of MySisterIsOffLimits to see if any of Makoto's dormmates are worthy of dating him.
** Akane Owari's siblings all look up to her due to her PromotionToParent, and even start to see Makoto in a similar light when he comes over and not only cooks them fresh gyudon but also teaches them to cook the aforementioned meal. This leads to them becoming [[ShipperOnDeck Shippers On Deck]] for Akane and Makoto, as they realize that Makoto knows of Akane's kind side, and they also want someone to look after her like she does with them.
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Both Mukuro and eventually Junko eventually change from agents of despair to genuine friends of Makoto, averting their plans for global despair]].
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: This trope is primarily why Makoto is such a ChickMagnet. His kindness and patience earns him the adoration of his dormmates.
** He helps Mukuro [[spoiler: start taking steps to carve her own path]].
** He reassures Sayaka that she'll always be loved by her fans no matter what.
** He snaps Ibuki out of her funk when she's booed offstage and demeaned by her old bandmates.
