[Projectile] You smile at the hope called despair

someday.

... Gently took out the dusty envelope.

……

Hinata-kun.

It's finally summer vacation!This time we went to the beach with the whole class and Teacher Yukino.

I was a little frustrated when I sent an invitation before and didn't get a reply.

Hinata-kun, you don't have to be so restrained, let's come and play together!

I believe that Hinata-kun will be one with everyone!

Photos are attached here.

Hanamura-san always persists in her bad habits... It's too much to scare Sinki-san with an octopus!

We collectively buried him in the sand.

He said it was cool there!

Then we went in one by one to try, and it really was like this!

Komaeda-san is good at building sand castles.

We all applaud.

But when Koizumi was taking pictures, the sandcastle was washed away by the waves.

Although Komaeda-san said it was okay, he still looked depressed.

(Photo) We have BBQ here.

It was quite windy by the sea at night.Mioda-san said that this kind of scene is very atmospheric.

I think so too - cool and shocking.

Everyone is gradually accepting Mioda-san's music.

Bian Gushan split a few unusually hard coconuts, and the owner gave them to us.

super sweet!

(Photo) Flying chess is of course indispensable for playing at the seaside.

Komaeda-san won against Soda-san in the last move!

Although he always said that he was lucky, but I think it should be "never relax until the last step"!

Of course I won too.

……

In order to watch the fireworks, we prepared our own yukatas.

Sonia is very interested in this!I kept pulling Mrs. Yukino to ask about Japanese culture.

It's a bit strange though... Sonia-san really likes to understand.

The girls began to compare their yukata styles, but I think they all look good.

(Photo) This is me, Hinata-kun, do you like it?

There are also many small game stalls and various food.

We decided to go to the stalls in groups.

Kuzuryu was in a group with Bian Gushan, the second university student was in a group with Suzato, Saienji was in a group with Koizumi, and Sinki was in a group with Mioda.

Ah, there are Sonia-san, Tanaka-san, and Satoda-san in a group of three, followed by Hanamura-san and Mitarai-san.

Komaeda insisted on going alone, but Yukino-sensei finally dragged him away.

I think it would be nice if Hinata-kun was here.

How would Hinata-kun dress up...everyone is in school uniform, but it feels like a lot has changed after changing to a yukata.

Then, together with Hinata-kun, we ate and played games.

That must be great.

……

I don't really like Halloween.

I hate being scared.

But when Mioda-san is going to ask everyone to dress up, it feels great.

Ghost-themed costumes are fun too.

(Photos) These are all our own designs... I also added my own ideas, isn't it great?

Not only is it scary, but it can also be very warm.

Like thick pumpkin soup, sweet pumpkin pie.

Hanamura said that as long as there is passion, a single ingredient will be wonderful...

It's a weird way of saying it, but I understand it.

Because Halloween dinners are so awesome.

(Photo) It's all made of pumpkins, a subject given by Mr. Yukino.

She wanted us to see how many dishes we could make with just pumpkin.

Hanamura-san's thoughts are limited alone, and we all can help.

Passed the course successfully!Everyone is doing great!

Teacher Yukino was surprised.

If Hinata-kun was here, what ideas would he come up with?

Ah... I don't know, does Hinata-kun like desserts...

……

Tomorrow is Christmas.

If it wasn't for classmate Zuimu who was late, I wouldn't have known there was another classmate in the class.

That Mitarai-san is...

(Photo) Obviously it feels very similar, it's the same everywhere.

...Why does "Mitarai" classmate pretend to be Mitarai-san?

Although I don't understand it very well...but I promise them that I will keep this secret.

But, Mitarai-san is so pitiful, she can't spend this holiday with other people...

However, it's good to have Mitarai and Sinki taking care of him.

I want to discuss it with Mr. Yukino... As the class monitor, I can't let go of any of my classmates.

I'm rushing to make a gift now. (photo)

Although it was not prepared in advance, it was a bit rushed, but since it is Christmas, everyone should receive presents.

So is Mitarai-san.

He should like the hat with Christmas atmosphere... Although it was removed from the Santa Claus doll...

Did Hinata-kun receive the gift?

……

Yukino-sensei finally convinced "Mitarai" and Mitarai-san.

We made an agreement to keep it a secret from the outside class, and they both returned to the class to teach.

It is inappropriate to leave Mitarai-san behind for extracurricular activities.

I think so.

Although "Mitarai" insisted on dressing up like this, there was no problem in distinguishing the two of them.

In this way, Mitarai was drawn into the class and got to know each other.

(Photo) He is so nervous.It reminds me of the first game conference announced.

Everyone has a first time.

Will be more involved in the future.

I believe spending happy time together can give Mitarai-san more material.

……

The new year has arrived.

We all go to the shrine together.

Offer prayers for the new year.

Everyone put on beautiful clothes! (photo)

Although it hasn't been long, Koizumi-san and Mitarai-san are very familiar with each other.

Even "Mitarai" classmates were a little surprised.

But...it's a natural thing to do, I think.

Because we had so many happy times, it was the best episode of 77!

Everyone is indispensable...

I pray from the bottom of my heart that in the new year, everyone will continue to love each other.

In the end, the classmate said that he prayed that there would be something to eat, and that he would continue to practice with the second university.

Komaeda said that she looks forward to the bright light of hope in the class continuing to shine.

...Although I don't quite understand, everyone is looking forward to being together.

What wish did Hinata make?

Be confident, everyone is interested in you.

Don't forget about us.

……

……

As the pages of letter paper were flipped over, his heart became more and more chaotic.

Inexplicably, the chest hurts and it is difficult to breathe.

The red pupils suddenly tightened.

This is not a symptom in the sense of his common sense.

……

From the very beginning, I didn't like myself like this.

Everything was mediocre.

No matter how hard I dig, I can't find anything that can be called talent.

Let your parents down.

Was ridiculed by everyone.

No matter how hard you try, you can't be sure.

Until one day, I met her.

Playing games with her is a lot of fun.

If I can help her a little bit, I feel that I am still useful.

praised by her.

Listen to her talking about things in the class.

Want to help her, want to help more.

want to be with her.

Want to spend time with her friends.

No matter how you are hit, there is no way not to desire it.

She often talks to him and goes to the game center to play new works together.

...I feel very happy to be relied on by her and to be able to help her.

If such a self can be liked and relied on, then——

I will also like myself like this.

but--

The nine-headed dragon who longed to go to undergraduate to be with his brother was killed.

Sato died in front of him.

Nanami lost her smile.

The academy is also trying to suppress this matter.

The conflict between undergraduate and preparatory disciplines continues.

"A useless thing is a useless thing after all, wouldn't it be good to pay the money obediently?"

"The group of people in the preparatory subjects, there are as many replacements as there are, how can you let you in just because of a few people, causing management trouble?"

"Of course there is a difference. Just give up. Iron filings won't turn into diamonds."

"It is the talented who lead the destiny after all... It is the fate of the incompetent to follow the predetermined track without knowing anything."

"Replace you...as many as you want."

"If you leave school, you must strip away your memories. Hope Peak Academy, as the hope of the world, must not have shadows."

"For the world's 'jurisprudence', for the collective, for hope...Although the old man is very sad, but Chuangjun—I'm afraid there is no way to do it."

This is destiny—

The fate of being incompetent...

Watching everything happen.

I can't do anything, I can't say it.

Memory is also stripped.

A powerless person is powerless after all, and must accept this fate after all.

This is my... destiny?

Do not……

I don't accept... such a self...

I don't accept this...world...

I want to deny...such a...destiny...

……

I can't forgive myself like this.

Desperate for myself who always can't do anything.

Anyway...it's already like this, it's fine anyway...

It's okay to die...

It doesn't matter how you are manipulated...

Sacrifice all of me...

At least, I, who has nothing, still has this use.

...Let me be everyone's hope.

……

Still, I don't want to forget...everything I've experienced.

...want to be the protagonist of your own story.

... want to have power.

Wanted to be of more help.

Want to protect her.

want to be with her.

...her smile is so warm...

……

……

Although I don't know what you are struggling with...

However, you are running out of time.

too naive.

Do you think... what right do you have to speak?

...you are not of this world.

Not involved in any party.

There should be no personal feelings.

There should be no human frailties.

There shouldn't be any weak spots.

Follow reason completely.

It exists completely to protect the "jurisprudence" of this world.

For the majority, for the collective, for harmony.

Become Hope Peak - the hope of this world, the greatest power.

Works for me.

You are—the hope of the world, the hope of the super high school class.

……

Finally...all the mood about it all, has been forgotten.

I don't know why it exists here, and I don't know what to do.

I only know that I am gradually being "completed" because of "a certain purpose".

Until I came across this by accident.

Although I don't know who the person who wrote the letter is talking about.

Who is writing the letter.

Who is in the photo.

But... this inexplicable feeling of wanting to see her...

What's going on?

No, it's not simply because I want to see...

It's like being pierced by a sharp thorn, and every time I think about it, the pain is excruciating, and the feeling spreads all over the body. What is it?

I don't know why, but I want to run away.

escaped from the waiting room.

Running blankly on the empty, snow-white aisle.

Without the information here, everything is blank.

With only vague intuition, he ran in a daze.

Until suddenly stimulated by pain.

It turned out that spikes emerged from the ground and pierced the foot.

Then here is...

When he came back to his senses, all organs were in operation.

Too bad...no data...can't analyze...

But when I think about meeting that person...

Just can't stay here anyway.

I want to see you all.

……

Gears with sharp blades.

Huge boulders.

The spear that suddenly appeared.

Arrows fired from the dark.

Spikes popping up all the time.

Huge hammer.

……

Even if most of them flash past... there is still a limit.

First is the feet.

Then came the calves.

carpal bones.

knee.

Arm.

shoulder blade.

……

Although the pain was not particularly strong, the breathing gradually became heavy.

Vision gradually became blurred.

Physical condition is fine...you can continue to act...

He still continued to move forward, dodging the mechanism that appeared out of nowhere.

Must find the exit...must see her...

Even if it's a really weird feeling.

……

The pain gradually turned into a wonderful feeling.

Is this painful?

Body movements gradually slowed down.

Actions can hardly keep up with thinking.

... A new uncomfortable feeling came up again, is it a headache?

There seemed to be a blurry picture in front of my eyes.

Can't help but want to touch it.

What is this feeling... that I want to touch no matter what?

……

Why...why do you want to meet this person so much?

Why... do you want to meet so much?

Obviously so unreasonable...why can't I control it?

Where is... is it broken?

……

It just got weirder.

Obviously, it is something that appeared in the line of sight inexplicably...

Why do you feel warm?

……

Like fragments, becoming clearer and clearer.

That uncomfortable feeling is getting stronger and stronger.

It seemed... There was an uncomfortable feeling for her.

Every expression on her face made him feel pain.

Wanted to shout but couldn't.

Inexplicably, tears welled up in his eyes.

……

I don't know who I am, and I don't know who you are.

But, I want to see you.

want to be with you.

I want to be with you.

……

Before he knew it, he touched the door.

It was as if he had finally seen her face.

It seems to be smiling.

what--

You are--

"It's been a long time. Let's play games together? ███"

……

There was a sudden pain in his chest, and he couldn't breathe.

He woke up from choking, and found——

As if joking, the body was pierced through the chest by a long iron spike.

Oops--

Then, more than thirty long iron thorns shot up from the ground in an instant, piercing through all parts of his body.

Carried by gravity, he was "pinned" in the air.

Everywhere is bright red.

Little by little, gurgling down the iron thorns.

Converged into a small park.

……

Can't hear anything, can't see anything.

His empty red eyes stared blankly at the sky.

===========================================

"The guy ran away. Fortunately, he was stopped by the defense facility."

A group of people in white coats ran over scattered.

"Please report! How is the damage?"

"Generally speaking, this kind of injury is too serious...it's almost impossible to save it. But recently, the 76th class student Shizuko Jimura newly developed Su Sheng medicine, so there is no problem at all."

"But I don't know what side effects it will have..."

"Leave this alone! As long as you don't die! The experimental subject died unexpectedly. How should I explain this to the higher authorities?"

"understand!"

"By the way... What's the situation this time, what happened to this accident?"

"Before, there were students who often wrote to the school of the experimental subject. If the recipient was not there, the letter would be returned. In order to prevent side effects, it was blocked—but I didn't expect him to find it."

"Shouldn't that kind of thing be destroyed as soon as you get it! Do you understand?"

"understand!"

"At the same time, we still need to continue to suppress the emotions of the experimental subjects, and install suppression components when necessary. This mistake shows that our work has not been done properly, and everyone needs to self-reflect, understand?"

"Yes!"

"All of this is a suitable container for 'Master God'."

……

The boy's screams echoed in the room.The wound also gradually healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

...and it went on for hours.

Wait until everything quiets down.

The previous short hedgehog head has been replaced by loose long hair.

Like thick ink, it spilled from the snow-white bed sheet.

It grows to the calf and hangs to the ground.
