[Projectile] You smile at the hope called despair

The two walked in tandem.

Yijun's footsteps are extremely light - so light that if he didn't look back, he would hardly know that someone was following him.

This feeling was indescribably weird—Qihai turned her head from time to time to confirm his existence.

...If it wasn't on purpose... wouldn't anyone be able to spot him and talk to him?

It's almost like someone who... doesn't exist.

This way...is it really all right?

And actually said that at home... it doesn't matter if you don't go back for a while...

Reminiscent of Kazukun's ghost-like appearance, diction that doesn't match his appearance, and mechanical expressions and behaviors—Qami thought, maybe the story behind it is quite complicated, and...it doesn't feel like a good story.

Suddenly said that you can make dim sum... Do you like it?

……

Under the tree house, the two stepped up the wooden escalator.

The handrails are wrapped with plastic vines that student Sin Mu bought from the flower market.

Yikun's hair is long and messy... When going up the steps, Qihai had an illusion, as if he would trip over his hair at the next step.

"Yijun... Is it okay to walk?"

"No."

"Won't you get caught by your hair...do you want to consider changing your hairstyle?"

The other party didn't talk to him—I don't know if he was too lazy to talk to him, or he was thinking about how to answer.

Qihai also had no choice but to remain silent.

He has a gloomy appearance, taciturn, poker face, sometimes cloudy and cloudy—except sometimes he talks like a child, and Kazukun’s mind is almost impossible to guess—and, there is always a sense of potential danger in that guy, which makes people Don't dare to guess.

Talking to him is especially easy to get awkward—it's like some kind of unreasonable, game.

Unreasonable game...

Although it is unreasonable, there are other ways to enjoy it... The fun of the unreasonable game lies in working hard to conquer it, and there will be success if you work hard.

So... what kind of harvest will you get...

"...Before, Yijun mentioned that he can make dim sum. Do you like it?"

"..."

"Do you like 'LUCKY' in our class...is it a pretty place?"

"..."

"The mochi just now was made by our class. It tastes good, right?"

"..."

... No matter what he said, Yijun didn't speak, and he never showed any expression.

This made Qihai a little annoyed, and a little helpless——

No matter how uninterested you are, you can't keep silent, this is too much.

But...if he really suffers from a brain disease and has trouble thinking, he shouldn't be blamed...

So……

"...Why, Yi-kun wants to make snacks?"

"Because I can do it."

"So you like making snacks?"

"..."

Here it comes again...Qihai discovered that Yijun would always respond with silence to any issues involving his own wishes.Recalling that Yijun always repeats "teachers", "teachers"...

"Could it be that Yijun wants to do this just because he knows how to do it?"

"...Is this strange?"

Qihai is silent.

This—in this school, it's really not surprising.

Either in undergraduate or preparatory subjects.

In the beginning, it was because of this talent that he was recognized—and in the end, in order to continue to be recognized, he could only rely on this talent.

But... this is actually a kind of misfortune.

——The misfortune of putting the cart before the horse and losing oneself.

If I didn't have this initial enthusiasm...how could I have embarked on this path.

Even if it is not recognized, can I let go of this liking and feeling...

Looking at Ichi-kun's face covered by scattered hair, which is very similar to Hinata-kun, but very different from him——

Nanami remembered Hinata-kun's smile.

... Nanami... I've always played games alone.

This feeling... I think I get it.Because there, when we play doubles, we hold each other back.After all... everyone is pretty much the same.

...I don't have time after school.Besides, if you are found playing games, you will be scolded.I really envy Nanami... being able to play games freely...

Even so, I still can't let go of the game completely... I always want to play in my spare time——

Nanami, do you want to play another game?Don't let yourself carry the whole battle situation alone, I can do it too.For some levels, I think... two people can discuss better tactics.

It has nothing to do with talent... I feel very happy playing games with Hinata-kun.

And Hinata-kun, never get frustrated and don't want to play games with her anymore just because he didn't do well.

……

Hinata-kun...he never misses an appointment.

Even when the day, the weather, and the mood were bad, I wanted him to leave—he insisted on staying by my side.

Stay with him and you will feel better soon.

Looking at Yijun's appearance, Qihai suddenly felt very uneasy.

"What will happen if you don't do something well or don't know how to do it?"

"..."

Although she was still silent, Qihai clearly felt that the atmosphere of Yi Jun suddenly changed——

This atmosphere is so obvious that even if you don't look back, you know——

My back couldn't help but stiffen.

His knees trembled uncontrollably.

Legs go limp.

Almost wanted to slip and fall on the plank floor.

Resisting the terrifying imagination, she forcibly turned her head, Qihai never thought of——

Yijun, unexpectedly has such a cold and terrifying side.

No, she doesn't know this person at all - no matter how much he looks like Hinata-kun, Hinata-kun will never show such an expression!

There was no existence reflected in the scarlet, temperatureless eyes.It wasn't the previous temptation—it was the real, impulsive and violent desire to destroy "something".

Just being stared at was like being frozen and pinned to the ground—hard to breathe, hard to think.

Under the icy moon, with long disheveled hair, scarlet eyes, and an overwhelming sense of terror——

He is simply the devil king in the deepest part of hell.

"Things that are useless... things that are broken... things that are not well done... just destroy them... If you don't do well, then go to die."

To... die...?

"If you don't do it well, if you don't get recognition, it's useless and will be disposed of by the 'teachers'..."

"...that's why I'm alive."

Because... was recognized... to live?

Nanami remembered the final exam half a year ago.

That person said in the same way at the time, disgustingly, if he is not recognized by the school, everything he does will be meaningless.

"Student Qihai only needs to do what he wants to do. What they think is their own business!"

Teacher Qiansha... I am indeed doing what I want to do...

So... no matter how complicated people's thoughts are, I can't let go of what I see...

Even if Yijun is scary... no, it is really scary, this is absolutely not allowed!

"What about Yikun! Don't Yikun think that this... is too strange! Doesn't Yikun have anything he wants to do? Doesn't he have something he likes! If he is not recognized...you can...just like this Give yourself up!"

"Useless things are of course to be thrown away... Is this strange? The 'teachers' said that useless crowds leave nothing to the world... not a speck of dust is left. So , it is necessary to carry out a certain degree of elimination... Your words do not have any logic at all."

"I... I don't want to ask Yijun's teachers for their opinions... What I want to know is Yijun's own thoughts..."

"Those things... are unnecessary to Hope."

Is it unnecessary...

So, if your own thoughts are not important, what is important?

'Hope'?

However, if all this is to bring hope...

Why did the former Yi-kun look so horrified and have such an 'impulse' to destroy something...

It's like falling into bottomless despair?

Yijun...are you lying to yourself?

"If it really doesn't matter...why did you get so angry before..."

"Are you angry..."

Although it is a plain interrogative sentence.

But in an instant, the terrifying aura before Yijun disappeared completely.

"Yi-kun is really angry—I can feel it." Qihai got up and approached him, "So this is not something insignificant... Yi-kun, there must be something you want to do, something you like... ..."

"...This kind of thing is not allowed by the 'teachers', it is against the 'hope'..."

"This kind of thing, let me prove it for you... If no one allows it, I will allow it!"

Qihai grabbed Yikun's hand.

Yijun seemed to have just reacted, and broke away in a panic.

"Don't you want to challenge something you don't understand...Maybe you can make a very unexpected discovery?"

……

Nanami held up the small mirror that Sonia left here, and looked at Kazukun holding the scissors.

Start with the image first!You must have a look you like very much——

But Yijun seems to have strong opposition to this.

"I also have the talent for cutting hair. This kind of thing...is boring."

Qihai has a headache - no need to plan, is this kid going to let himself go like this... always like this, I'm afraid not many people are willing to talk to him.

——He will become more and more closed.

"Since I'm very good at it, how can I believe it if I don't do it?" Qihai made a look of disbelief, "Create the most satisfying hairstyle and let me see and prove it?"

The child's preferences are completely unknown, and his perception of emotions is also quite slow.Only "I don't want to be said to be useless", Qihai can be very sure.

Yijun was silent for a while: "What kind of hairstyle do you want?"

"I'm very satisfied with mine," Qihai smiled proudly, "You can use your own to show off."

After a long silence, Yi Jun seemed to pick up the scissors helplessly: "...what hairstyle?"

Looking at the face that resembled Hinata-kun, Qi Hai's heart moved: "Is it okay to have a hedgehog head?"

"Reject—" The other party looked at her coldly, "You have other purposes."

I've been seen through.

"I also have the ability to read people's hearts."

"Then... let's cut it a little bit shorter..." Qihai leaned forward, trying to pull back the hair in front of Yikun's face - at the moment of touching, Yikun dodged like an electric shock.

"Could it be... Yijun is shy?" Qihai smiled.

"Big kid" stared at her coldly: "What is your purpose...why do you keep pestering me...why do you touch me?"

"Isn't Yijun the ability to see through people's hearts... You should understand it?"

"..."

It seems that something has been said, which makes Yijun grit his teeth.

Seeing the distressed look of the child, Qihai smiled again.

"Still laughing...you are despising people."

"No," Qihai smiled, "Laughing also has many meanings... I just want to play with you."

"boring……"

"Maybe it's really boring... But, if you cut it a little more neatly and tie it up, you can make better snacks..."

"Why... do you want to make snacks?"

"...Didn't Yi-kun make dim sum before... No matter what the reason is... anyway, I'm looking forward to it."

☆、Special Chapter of Wishing and Husband

The sky outside is as red as blood.On the land where the corpses lay all over the place, it is already hard to tell what is the road.

How long has it been since you saw this blood-red world for the first time?

Tianyuan Kazuo, even at this age, still retains the habit of praying to the night sky every night.

His mentor Reinhardt once said to him that if you are upset, look at the stars in the sky and pray, and you will re-perceive the "meaning" and strengthen your faith.

But these words can't heal his heart, because he understands in his heart——

Prayer, for a world that has lost God's blessing, is nothing but psychological comfort.

A long time ago, the god of the world and the creator of Hope Peak lost his life because of the expansion of human desires and excessive demands.

God appeared in that great tribulation long, long ago.

As for the cause of the catastrophe, it is no longer possible to test - it seems to be very terrible, so terrible that even the mentor Reinhardt plans to avoid talking about it.

"It's like the end of the world, human beings are almost extinct - the only thing I want to say is that all I can see at that time is broken and red, and the boundless sky."

Boundless despair, human beings involved in disasters and deaths, counting—but I can’t remember these wishes, and he was just a child with a vague consciousness at that time.

When he could remember, the devastated land had already begun to recover.

The demons that are rampant are defeated, the people who are in a frenzy like wild animals are redeemed, the blood-red sky is light blue, and wild flowers bloom on the barren land.

Because God came down and gave His protection to those who are struggling in hell.

God is always gentle and merciful, without despair and pain, and always strong and optimistic.

God is not angry and majestic, but just looking into those eyes will be taken away and the wicked will be terrified.

His strength is so natural.

Those who follow him believe that there is nothing he can't solve, and everyone who sees him is like seeing the light.

He is the embodiment of hope.

With Him, all problems can be solved, in the smile of God, all sorrows can be eliminated, and all pains can be healed.

But such a vast world, so much sorrow, even the gods are beyond the reach.

He formed a college called "Hope Peak", which gathered outstanding talents in various fields.Together, they devise strategies to heal the world's wounds.

"Hope Peak Academy" is an existence that can bring hope to the world, and the people there are also symbols of hope. They follow God and are constantly running for the well-being of mankind.

It didn't take long for people to have abundant food, complete medical facilities, and convenient travel conditions.The disaster of the past has gradually faded into a dream-like illusion.

However, what they didn't expect was that the life of God was so fragile.

It was so powerful that they didn't consider this possibility at all-inadvertently, God was already terminally ill.

No matter how hard the geniuses you hope for, they are powerless.

On the day the god disappeared, the glory of Hope Peak, which was created by him, was gone.

It was as if the sky had fallen.

"The revival of this world is inseparable from the efforts of Lord God. He has always worked so hard, and we just greedily rely on him-I regret this-but there is no way."

"Even if we set up a bronze statue of the lord, praise the merits of the lord, and establish the world's belief in him-we are still sad to see that the pure world saved by the lord is still getting dirty little by little."

"Countless ignorant forces that are about to move, corrupt institutions, people who are desperately searched, people who use each other to betray, and even appeared-institutions that specialize in sheltering criminals, powerful criminals that cannot be suppressed even with all the power of the whole country, powerful but because of Arrogant and depraved talent."

"This series of things has the possibility of bringing the world back to a catastrophe. If there is a successor with the same ability, it can not only deter those who disrespectfully trample on the achievements of the Lord God, but also continue to lead these now scattered Talented people follow the previous 'jurisprudence' and lead the world to hope."

"Human life is limited, and the body is fragile. If 'Master God' has a body that lasts forever and a long life, we can always enjoy his efforts-this is probably what Lord God wants .”

"This world can never be separated from God's blessing, and can never be separated from hope. Without hope, people will do desperate things because of various fears, and be swallowed by desire. The ultimate 'super high school level hope' is a must. Indispensable."

"My lord said that the cooperation of human beings will bring hope. I can't wait, and I am willing to do my best, even if I give everything, I will let 'Lord God' return."

"I, Reinhardt, as my lord's successor, named this salvation plan 'God Throne Resurrection Project'. The hope of salvation is waiting for me, everyone, please."

Since then, these people, very secretly, started the plan - after all, this is not allowed by the majority.

And nothing is wrong.

They ran around, won many privileges for the academy, and began to collect suitable containers during various physical examination activities.

Of course, the material is the most important, that is, talent.

They use their privilege and fame to bring together outstanding talents in various fields and study their talents.And as far as possible, collect the essence of students' research results and apply them to experiments.

Hope Peak Academy has gradually evolved from a research institution for the outflow of the god seat to an institution that studies the "outflow of the god seat".

Generations of researchers passed away, and their disciples took up the heavy responsibility again.

So is Tianyuan and her husband.

He will always remember the gaze of his mentor Reinhardt.

"The hope of the world is in your hands."

But when he saw the hard-to-find suitable container, he hesitated again.

The slightly childish face, the uneasy expression, especially those eyes, so pure.

The sacrifice offered to God is such a child.

God, forgive me.

Although it is a pity, once the container is lost, it may be a year of the monkey to find a suitable one.

This cannot be an explanation to the partners who have been working hard until now.

Sorry for the lost teacher.

I'm also sorry, Lord God.

Everyone's efforts will be ruined on my selfishness.

The mentor has already asked us to do whatever it takes, so naturally we can't get involved in our personal feelings.

All of this is for the hope of the world - "Super High School Level Hope".
