[Danwanron Hakomae] Hope synaesthesia

It was dawn, and the clear light and morning breeze woke up, and the seedlings put on their clothes and got up.His vision was still dim, but that didn't hinder him. He sat on the edge of the bed, turned his head to look at Komaeda who was still sleeping for a while, smiled to himself after a while, and went out the door.

If possible, I don't want to be separated from you all the time.Afraid that you will be lonely, and also afraid that I will miss you.

but……

The wind in the early morning was still a bit chilly, pulling the swaying collar, and the exposed slender neck still showed traces of the previous night's confusion and obsession, but the seedlings did not look back before taking a step, and went straight to the outside of the island Leaving in the direction of the bridge, his eyes were clear and calm, and the hair beside his ears fluttered in the morning wind.

If everything went as expected, probably, there would be no despair.

However, the reason why people have to learn to be strong and learn to stand up in the face of pain and sorrow is because there are all kinds of unsatisfactory things in the world.

The unnamed ruins located on the second island may be unfamiliar to the seniors who have lost their memories of the past, but Sapling has never forgotten his memory of living in Hope Peak for two years. This place has carried too many memories and important things for him. Human life is so deep that it leaves indelible marks on the soul... He brushed aside the wanton weeds that grew wildly on the road, and stuck his finger on the old mottled outer wall of the building. Looking at the shape of a sexist building, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.

You didn't want to give up even at the last moment, you left a decisive turning point with such a feeling back then, and you entrusted your hope to us... Maiyuan-san.

He opened the sliding cover of the entrance cipher with his fingers, and he pressed the string of numbers that he had already known by heart without hesitation without worrying about the machine gun hanging over his head.

"Di-"

The green light was turned on, and there was a clicking sound of the machine brackets clenching, followed by a roar that shook the ground, countless fine gravels fell around the shaking ruins, the seedlings raised their heads, and the sealed iron gate slowly opened in front of them.

Whether it is for him or the designer of this new world program, Hope's Peak has indeed been endowed with a different meaning.It is the memory, the past, the cage, the cocoon of transformation, and the shelter that sheltered them from wind and rain.

"Hmm... Is it really okay to just run away like this? My lovely... cutest Naegi-kun."

The gloomy voice that was hard to discern suddenly turned into a soft and sweet female voice. The girl with long pink hair and twin ponytails crossed her arms and leaned against the tree behind.

"It really surprised me."

"I should be the one who was surprised. Is it really okay for you to just show up like this?" Naegi lowered her voice and turned around, "Enoshima...student."

"Tch, it's boring, it's not fun not to be surprised." She shook her hands in disgust, with a look of exhaustion on her face, and her sharp bright red nails were particularly eye-catching. Turning to him, the corners of his lips curled up, "It seems that I'm not surprised that I'm not dead at all."

"You are dead, and no one knows this better than me who was present at the scene." Seedling said calmly.

"It's really ruthless~" she lazily added, "Because I know the reality of this world, I understand the falsehood in front of me better than anyone here, but I try to use the falsehood to paralyze myself, use the falsehood to cover up the truth, and indulge in In false hope...haha, isn't the opposite of hope just despair?"

Cheeks blushed as if intoxicated, and without waiting for any response, Enoshima stepped forward on high-heeled shoes and "dumped" a few steps forward, ignoring Naegi's slightly surprised expression, and hugged the slender boy vigorously, as if full of love The pity, but also the malice that can't be concealed, the nails gently poked his side face, "Naegi, have you tasted the sweetness of despair?"

The plump breasts squeezed his chest unscrupulously, this, this touch... Naogi blushed instantly, wanted to push it away but had nowhere to start, he was so embarrassed that he didn't know where to put his eyes: "You, you first let me go!"

"Ha ha ha ha."

A little too virginal, right?Enoshima laughed loudly without losing face: "What's your reaction? An innocent girl who was blocked by school bullies in an alley and wanted to do something wrong?"

"...Anyway, let me go."

"What if I say no?"

Naegi gritted his teeth, and made up his mind as soon as he thought about it. He happened to be standing in front of the ruins door, and was about to take a step back. Weigou: "It's really ruthless and decisive."

The area behind him has set restrictions. At the beginning of the design, it was originally reserved for the retreat of the seniors, and the role of the teacher's authority cannot be involved.

At least for now, Enoshima has not been able to break through the defense facilities here.

"So frankly revealing your hole cards, it seems that you are planning to put all your eggs in one basket?" Her eyes were sharp, and her tone rose slightly, "Abandon everyone on the island and run away alone—"

"If I thought so easily, I would have lost to you at the beginning." Seedling smiled wryly, "If I knew how to get out of here..."

"Are you going to give up the opportunity to that Komaeda Nagito?" Enoshima raised his eyebrows, playing with taste, "It's really touching, a forbidden love full of personal sacrifice, don't forget, he will leave here What kind of state does it return to..."

Seedling shook his head silently: "I still can't bear to leave him alone."

The hot girl on the opposite side choked, and then showed a subtle expression of being suffocated by sugar.

"Since that boring student days, I really want to say, you two are really unbearable, you can't stand the level of despair, just looking at me makes me feel desperate, why, why is it completely reversed The two of you who are misaligned will be so inseparable and sticky..." She rubbed the air with her fingers tangled, as if it was a very sticky and disgusting thing, but she couldn't let go of her hands no matter how disgusted she was, and let the seedlings see Feeling a little ashamed, he simply looked away.

"I don't understand what you're talking about..."

"Yes! It's this kind of confusion! Completely nonsensical questions!" Enoshima shouted.

Seedling, who was pointed directly at the face by her rude gesture, burst into cold sweat, and suddenly felt a kind of difficulty and distress in chatting out of frequency.

To continue talking like this is actually just a waste of time.

Just when this idea popped into her head, Enoshima also showed a comprehension expression on her face. She spread her hands and leaned back in a gesture similar to a hug, as if she wanted to move the sky and even the world. Into the arms of the general heroic momentum.

"The next time we meet will be the final stage where you and I will have a showdown." The other party said in a firm tone, with a big smile on his face, "It's really exciting, this time the cannibalism game will end! To what extent can I force you——puff, puff, I can't wait."

The last sound drifted into the air, and Naegi watched her figure change little by little, like a wrong image gradually distorted and blurred, she didn't move a step from the beginning to the end, Monokuma met his eyes, showing a sinister smile with unknown meaning .

The Peak of Hope has been recognized by the whole world as the cradle of "Hope" in the past.

Going deep into the interior of the ruins alone, Sapling found the switch to turn on the lighting following the direction of memory, and when walking in the familiar corridor, he unexpectedly remembered this familiar introduction.

The school located in the prime location of the city seems to declare that it is the center of the world. It enjoys countless resources and privileged treatment from the government. It has been committed to cultivating super-class talents in various fields since hundreds of years ago. It can be said that it is a super first-class school that shoulders the "future" and "hope" of the world.

It is precisely because of excellence that it is extraordinary.

It is precisely as a super high school grade that you are so conceited in your own measure. Even if you know that you have gone astray, you can't turn back. If you back down now, it will only destroy the back of your pride, so some people All the way to heaven, some people can only go straight to hell.

In the claustrophobic space, only the footsteps of Naegi could be heard, and the scene in front of him was exactly the same as the old campus that he had been familiar with for a long time. Even the arrangement of desks and chairs in each classroom, and even the graffiti on the blackboard were the same.Although it is messy everywhere, it is an important place that bears the time of his students.

Since entering this world, he has lost contact with the real world. Naegi doesn't have any skills related to electronic programs, and he can't help Usagi with the work of analyzing and preventing virus invasion. The most likely way for the power to contact everyone and bring about a turnaround for this accident... probably, it can only be hidden in this place.He believed that Shishenjun and Miss Wuqie who were outside must also think the same way.

Even if you don't know it, what's the hindrance?There is nothing to be afraid of being alone at this moment.As long as he doesn't give up, as long as one of the seniors chooses to continue fighting, this world will never die so easily.

Seedling made up his mind and continued to move forward, pushing open every door in his field of vision, as long as there might be clues, he would not let go, just like he did before, every corner was meticulous.

If it is said that the passing time can really be erased, the heart will not arbitrarily ache when it realizes the loss.

Komaeda suddenly woke up from the dream, sat up with his fingers resting on his aching forehead, and didn't make a sound for a long time.

There was no one by his side, he wasn't really surprised, it was just that he underestimated his self-control ability, and the moment he opened his eyes, he couldn't help being in a bad mood, and the hazy sky blurred his half-hidden face in the shadows unknown.

"Crack."

Sitting quietly on the bed for an unknown amount of time, he still turned his head to look at the first moment when the door lock was opened, and the light that pierced his pupils made him narrow his eyes slightly uncomfortable.

"Morning, Komaeda-kun."

Seedling leaned against the door and waved towards him, with a smile on his face as usual, even the corners of his lips were perfectly curved, and his gray-green eyes stared straight at him, as if there was something wrong with him. He raised his voice thoughtfully and frivolously.

"Today is a wonderful day."

Raising her hands to the sky, the sun shone into her pupils through the gaps between her fingers, the sore and tingling sensation stimulated the surface of the eyeballs to soon be covered with a film of water, Qi Hai blinked in discomfort, and then the oncoming shadow blocked her eyes Turn on the light.

"Hinata...Hinata-kun?"

She tilted her head and looked at the boy standing beside her.

"What are you looking at?"

"Ah... um? No, nothing." Hinata looked a little absent-minded, he withdrew his eyes from the direction of Komaeda and Naegi, put his index finger on his chin, and kept his brows still, "It's nothing, it's just a little subtle Feel……"

After the end of the third school-level referee, Sinmu Mikan also paid the price of being executed for the evil deeds she committed.From the first occurrence of the murder incident, the victim Jugami Baiya and the murderer Hanamura Teruki, the victim Koizumi Mahiru and the murderer Heyayama Peiko, the victims Miota Yuibuki, Saiyuanji Hiyoko and the murderer Sinki Mikan Today, the number of victims who died of cannibalism has reached as many as seven.You know, except for the saplings who are not allowed to participate in the referee, there are only 77 students in their 16th class. Seven people, this number is already quite a delicate edge. Once the above tragedy happens again, no matter what In the end, whether it is revealed or not, the dead will exceed half of the total.

This also means that the abnormality that has grown on this island in the past few days will overwhelm the normal order that human society has evolved through hundreds of thousands of years. Calm reason is conquered by madness, and their hope becomes more and more elusive .

Hinata was a little out of breath from this feeling of depression that was being forced to the limit, but to his disappointment, this feeling seemed to be just his own illusion.Others are terrified and mournful at the loss of their companions, but what to say?Generally speaking, the spirit has become numb, and no one has raised the idea of ​​escaping from this island, and they have only accepted this reality passively and negatively.

After Sinmu died, two classmates returned to our team.One was Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko, who was injured by trying to interfere during the second execution, and the other was Nidai Nemomaru, who was seriously injured by a counterattack in order to protect Shusato who tried to attack Monokuma.Since the rules stipulate that students can only be killed if they kill each other or violate the rules, Monokuma rescued them both reluctantly.

The impulsive move didn't come without a cost, with Hydra losing one of his eyes and Er Dai being completely transformed into a robot.Although the latter had a hearty attitude, just looking at him from the side was enough to make other students feel terrified from the bottom of their hearts.

This state where even the human body is completely lost—is it still human?Or is it a robot that has been implanted with the same thinking mode?

In such a state where everyone can't calm down, according to Naegi's personality, it should be...Hinata habitually cast his gaze in his direction, the brown-haired boy didn't seem to notice his gaze, he was still talking and laughing. Walking beside Komaeda, he looked full of energy, and kept pulling Komaeda's sleeve to say something, but the other party seemed to be a little distracted, and his eyes kept looking at the distant sky, but there was nothing to say. The ground responded.

Always feeling that something was not quite right, Hinata couldn't describe the sense of disobedience rising in his heart, took a breath, and put his hands in his pockets depressedly.

They are on their way to the fourth newly opened island.

The successive deaths of three female classmates made it difficult for the always calm and elegant princess Sonia to hide the disappointment on her face. In the same way, Zuo Tian and Tanaka, who had a good impression of her, chose to guard her.Not long after, other people also tacitly agreed to act together, including Komaeda and Seedling, who always prefer to act independently.

That guy Komaeda was usually unpredictable, but at least having Naegi by his side was somewhat reassuring.But today I don't know what's going on, a kind of uneasy premonition always disturbs Hinata...

"Hinata-kun, your shoelaces—"

"Oh..." Hinata suddenly stopped in her tracks, and without thinking, she squatted down and lowered her head.

"——It's not loose." Komaeda added slowly.

"...So are you teasing me on purpose??"

"I'm just talking about an objective thing. It's Hinata-kun's own fault if you overthink it and cause misunderstandings." Komaeda said leisurely, "It's obvious that you have been staring at me just now, and you are really being stared at. I was so creepy that I planned to remind Hinata-kun euphemistically, it’s really annoying, don’t force me to tell you the ugly truth."

You have spoken out, thank you.

Hinata stood up in disbelief, and walked a few steps quickly to keep up with the footsteps of the crowd.

"Why do I feel that you are more difficult to get along with than before after recovering from a serious illness..." This is definitely his heartfelt voice.

"Although I don't remember exactly what happened at that time, it doesn't matter if Hinata-kun interprets this as the moodiness of a sick person." Komaeda laughed and whispered softly, "I'm a little hard to control my mood now, Hinata You'd better pay less attention to me, Jun. I'd feel very guilty if I caused trouble to everyone at the super high school level."

Is that what you're doing to upset him even more?So what are you still dissatisfied with when you have seedlings... Thinking like this, Hinata turned his attention to the brown-haired boy beside Komaeda, just as he met his interested eyes, he couldn't help feeling a little dazed.

What, how... Is there anything special about him today?

"Komaeda-kun, I found that Komaeda-kun really likes Hinata-kun." Naegi blinked and said with emotion.

"Huh—?" Komaeda raised his eyebrows, ignoring Hinata's instantly clouded expression very naturally, and asked casually, "Are you jealous?"

"How could it be?" Naegi asked back without hesitation, sticking her fingers on her lips, her eyelids drooping slightly, she poked out the tip of her tongue and gently licked her fingertips, "It's too late to be happy... If it's Hinata-kun, I don't mind a threesome Oh, after all, he is tall and handsome."

--I mind! ! !

Crazy shouting until the heart is about to explode.

"Boom!"

Zhongli turned around in surprise, and looked at Hinata who was sitting on the ground rubbing his ankles in puzzlement: "Hinata, what are you doing? Did you fall on the ground?"

"It's just that I didn't look at the road for a while..."

"Hahaha, how old are you, Hinata?"

Zuo Tian mercilessly turned his head back and made a mockery. Hinata, who was ridiculed, sat on the ground and stroked his forehead for a long while without making a sound. After a while, he straightened his confused mind and stood up on his legs. People walking, looking at their backs, they have a feeling that they are some kind of scourge behind them.

Naegi laughed and stuck out her tongue.

"Just kidding... It seems that Hinata-kun was scared."

Komaeda looked down at him, breathed a sigh of relief, and said lightly: "It's better not to make jokes."

"What's wrong? Are you going to be angry?" Seedling asked very interestedly, "Is it because of the desire for 'me'? Or the obsession with 'hope'? It's not good to be so exclusive...'Hope' is When it belongs to everyone, it will shine as a light, and if you are too close, it will be your own death, either you are burned to ashes by the scorching heat of the sun, or you, as a chain, killed the only light source with your own hands."

Knowing that it was abnormal, but when Komaeda stared deeply at his most familiar handsome face, the disgust that came from nowhere was intertwined with the deep-rooted love, and finally he couldn't help but fell into the vortex of obsession .

Aware of his wavering, a stern sharpness flashed across Komaeda's eyes.

If it wasn't for the substitute that sapling found himself, who are you with the same appearance as him?Thinking about the experience and changes of Nidai Nekomaru, although Komaeda does not know how far technology has advanced for this super high school-level academy, he also vaguely understands that this kind of consciousness can transfer a person's consciousness from the body to the body. The mechanical technology is extraordinary.Since machines can, why not transfer one person's consciousness into another person's body?To some extent, it can already be called an immortal technology that has invaded the realm of gods...

There were miscellaneous guesses in his mind, and if he hadn't remembered the image of Naegi holding his hand and promising "not to leave" over and over again, Komaeda was not sure if he could calmly follow everyone to act together at this moment.After wandering for a long time, I finally noticed that the whole picture of the new island has been displayed in front of everyone. Unlike other islands, this may be a cartoon amusement park theme place, and the variety of amusement facilities is dizzying.

Sapling-kun, it's as if you suddenly broke into my dream. You are a passer-by and a surprise, but I am lucky at the super high school level. Since I am lucky, how can I tolerate the hope at hand slipping away.

Komaeda stopped suddenly, looked up at the monokuma sitting on the front of the roller coaster, who was looking at him with his head tilted, and the black stone-like eyes made people think of only the word "chaos".

"What's the matter... Wow, what an exaggerated roller coaster." Zuo Tian, ​​who glanced at the facility, immediately turned blue, and hurriedly urged the others, "Hurry up, hurry up, this is no fun."

"Hey - don't you want to try it?" Black and white bear sat on the front of the car and posed a sexy pose imitating a beautiful female car model, and deliberately dragged out his voice sweetly, "This is a super thrilling roller coaster game, if everyone participates It will be rewarded."

It raised a black booklet in its hand. The "Future" logo hot-stamped on the cover was exactly the same as the engraving on the ruins of the second island. over this matter.
