I had to save the world to support my family

Novia's eyes passed over the young man's thin shoulders, staring at Fu Sangshen walking through the night without blinking.

"Is it over? It's really surprising that you will help."

"Ahahaha, what you said is meant to be accusatory, which is not very good."

The beautiful face was coated with a layer of silver light that fluctuated and flickered like water waves, making it more and more unreal.Sanri Yuezong put his body back into the sheath, and when he opened his mouth, he was still joking in his usual tone, as if he just went to get a new cup of tea.

"You know me...forget it."

Suddenly feeling a little dizzy, she staggered and grabbed Komaeda's shirt in time to avoid falling: "Anyway, thank you very much."

"Well, don't always hope that the old man will do the work for nothing, even this time you will be charged." Tachi put his ivory-colored hands in his sleeves, and walked over slowly with a casual attitude of finishing work, "Go home, come home, My back is about to break—"

"Don't make trouble."

Novia helplessly reached out her hand to his forehead, trying to stop Sanriyue from retracting herself into her body, and then slammed her knife at him facelessly: "The matter hasn't been dealt with yet, at least put it down. Grandpa, look, you can now You are the only one who can help me, hold on for a while, okay?"

Wave after wave of dizziness came, like the fine waves of the sea in sunny weather. Although it was not so strong that it was unbearable, this frequency...was a bit abnormal.

It's okay, just hold on for a while.

She tried to ignore the haunting feeling of boredom and comforted herself with the same words.The soft tone of coaxing the child came so easily that even the interrogator himself didn't realize it. Since he took the medicine, he hasn't talked to others like this for a long time.

"The party is in the monitoring room, I have dealt with it a little bit, just waiting for you to go and make a judgment. The trivial things at the end, I hate this the most..."

Taidao leaned forward with a displeased face, forcing Novia to withdraw his palm a little bit: "I said I wouldn't force it. Do you want to break your promise?"

"Tell me like a bad person."

Kneading his temple feebly with his left hand, he felt that nausea-inducing dizziness seemed to be fading away.Noviya gave up her resistance with a wry smile, and let Fu Sangshen come over with a contented yawn.

Originally, she was ready to pick up the object in the air, but San Riyue suddenly stopped her movements halfway, and tilted her head thoughtfully to look at her, wondering what she was thinking about.

"What, regret it?"

"Hahahahaha, who wants to stay in such a ghostly place when you can sit under a blooming cherry tree and drink tea."

Taidao ruthlessly broke her delusion, and after capturing the undisguised expression of disappointment, he added a sentence unhurriedly.

"But even if I leave, you now—" subconsciously reached out to touch the top of the girl's hair, but forcibly stopped halfway, and flicked your forehead with your fingertips instead, "There is someone who can help."

The ending sound is still echoing repeatedly between the walls, but the person who spoke has disappeared.Novia pounced on a hungry tiger, firmly caught the sword that was about to fall to the ground, and then let out a long and exhausted breath.

"It's really a wayward old man."

Hanging the Taidao behind the back in the usual posture, the discomfort seems to have subsided a lot due to the diversion of attention.She complained in a low voice, then looked up at Komaeda Nagito who had been silent all the time: "Do you want to go together?"

"what?"

"Monitoring room." She rallied, raised her feet and walked towards the stairs, stopping halfway to invite again, "Together?"

The boy hesitated for a moment in his answer, but he caught up with him first: "You are not in a good condition. Are you really not waiting for the people from the security office?"

"No need. If you really want to..., it's more convenient for me to be alone."

The verb in the middle was deliberately blurred, and even Komaeda, who was walking next to her, couldn't hear it clearly, so he trotted two steps closer.Novia caught a glimpse of the corner of the thin shirt shaking in the night wind from the corner of her eye, and was slowed down by guilt, trying to keep pace with him.

"I can't help but want to apologize. I was supposed to take care of Komaeda, but in the end, it seemed that I was the one who was always taken care of."

"Hey, so I always feel that something is wrong——"

"...I'm sorry, return the coat to you."

"That's not what it means! It's just from the beginning... don't you think Novi-chan's attitude tonight is extraordinarily strange?" Komaeda put his hands in his trouser pockets and muttered hesitantly, "Suddenly became gentle Big sister."

Novia leaned against the railing to rest, and glanced down after hearing this: "Huh?"

"Don't get me wrong this time, there is absolutely no derogatory meaning."

Komaeda Nagito was two steps behind her and explained a few words with a smile.Just when he was about to urge a little bit, he stopped when he reached the point of his mouth, raised his head slightly in confusion, and looked at the pair of eyes like a deep lake in the forest.

"Although it's a bit strange to say that - is it an illusion, Novi-chan seems to be a little taller than the impression?"

Although it is the geographical advantage of leaning on the stairs, Novia, who was emphasized on the posture of "looking down", still froze involuntarily.

……what.

Reminiscent of the serious scrutiny before Sanriyue, and her nonchalant behavior of leaving the battlefield, she seemed to understand what happened.

In terms of timing, what a coincidence.

"Illusion."

Leaving this sentence behind, she turned around as if nothing had happened, and continued walking along the scheduled route: "It's more important to get down to business. The monitoring room... I remember it, this way?"

"Well, the one at the end."

It stands to reason that it is far away from the previous murder scene of fratricide, but a faint smell of blood can still be smelled here, and it becomes stronger as it moves forward.When approaching the open door, Noviya blinked her eyes excited by the strong ominous smell inside, turned her head and signaled her friend to stop: "Wait for me here, don't come in."

"What do you say?"

The docile young man who has always been squeezed by others is unexpectedly stubborn this time. Although his attitude is not so cold and stern, his smile hides his determination, "'I am the only one who can help you' this time." oh."

Novia held the door with one hand and shook her head in a slight arc.

"San Riyue's words don't mean what you understand. ——The only person who can help me is myself from beginning to end."

Komaeda Nagito exhaled slowly, the temperature was blown away by the night wind.

"It hurts."

"Maybe. Maybe it's too abrupt for you, but Komaeda," she made a beckoning gesture, "just come here with me."

The boy who had been abandoned from beginning to end opened his eyes wide and was silent for a while.

"—Ah, did you hear that?"

That was the sound of a police car siren.

Looks like it's finally coming to an end.He complained, "It's really too slow."

We have to finish it before they find this place.

Novia squinted at the rapidly approaching dazzling lights, took a deep breath, and scattered the lotus stems that were holding back the surviving student council members.

Although it was an unwise move made under the circumstances of being bewitched, in the end, the bitter fruit caused must be borne by oneself.

This should be the last time we meet, Komaeda.

She broke into a smile amidst the shouts of the police, her heart beating slowly as an important job was about to end.But that feeling was too empty to be a pleasant experience.

"It's nice to meet you. As for the nonsense I said earlier, you should be taken as a frightened fool. ——However, it's really easier to talk about what you're worried about, just for the sake of that." , this trip is worth it!"

"Don't be so absolute, Novi sauce."

Hearing words like farewell, the boy was not at a loss, but laughed instead.

"Every time at this time, I will be a little bit lucky... What, I am still lucky! At least the person I want to meet," the sly light in the gray-green eyes flashed, "is absolutely, absolutely We can meet again. Well, this is not something you or I can decide unilaterally, okay?"

...That's right, I forgot about the [lucky] bug.

But that's okay.In the final analysis, it is nothing more than a matter that can be solved by the Forgetting Curse.

Rip my existence out of your mind, erase all memory, as countless other strangers on earth have done to you.It's never been in your life before, and it never will be.

"If you are forgotten by everyone, is it equivalent to death?"

"Probably? Because humans are animals that need others to survive."

Taking her struggling expression as a kind of compromise, Komaeda Nagito walked over slowly, stretched out his right hand, and carefully folded it on the other's pale knuckles holding the doorknob.

"I'm not going to forget Novi. So... just be together, okay?"

He didn't wait for that answer, perhaps because he was afraid to say this, but he still got a cold and polite rejection.Before the girl—no, it should be said that the hesitation and confusion on the girl's face disappeared, he pushed open the half-hidden door with all his strength.

Resisting the physical discomfort caused by the bloody smell coming towards his face, Komaeda Nagito took a quick glance into the dark monitoring room, only saw clearly the narrow area near the door, and then paused involuntarily.

"Ah, that's true," he muttered. "Is it really okay to be so exaggerated in school?"

He quickly turned his back to block Novi-chan's sight, with his usual soft smile on his face: "No big problem. However, for safety's sake, we'd better wait here for support. Don't worry, it'll be here soon! "

Feeling the strength he exerted on his hands, Novia, who was blocked, pursed her lips and glanced at the closed door.

"—San Riyue, the shot is heavy?"

Komaeda Nagito immediately laughed and wanted to deny it, no matter how bad it was, he had to be perfunctory.However, being watched by her calm eyes, as if saying something like "I've seen it", the lie immediately became impossible to tell.

He paused for a moment, sighing in distress.

"I didn't expect Fu Sangshen to be such a scary guy."

When he said this, the force that had been pressing on the doorknob and preventing Novia from going any further suddenly disappeared without warning.

"But you seem to have been mentally prepared for a long time. Regarding the boring guy who has caused so much trouble, Novi must be thinking 'ah, let the trouble go away quickly'... But, even if I will be hated, I still don't I think that’s something girls should be exposed to.”

"Then why did you let go?"

"Don't you want to?"

The atmosphere became a little unnatural, Komaeda coughed twice in embarrassment, and gently scratched his cheek with his index finger.

"Please ignore what I just said. As for why, after all, it is the murderer who hurt Novi-chan, and it seems understandable to want to witness their end. But, but! I have already issued a warning, do it well Do you know the psychological preparation for having nightmares for a week!" He made no secret of his disapproval, and even started to change the subject, "Actually, I still wait for others to compare—"

Accompanied by the faint creaking sound of the bearing rotating, Novia pushed the door open neatly.
