Paradise Rhapsody

"──Hey, can you hear me? Are you okay?"

In a daze, it seemed that someone was calling him. He blinked in confusion, and unconsciously turned his gaze to the place where the voice came from, and then he saw a boy.

white.

This is the first image he has captured of the character. Although the young man is not wearing white clothes, he looks fluffy and soft, but does not seem to be submissive. The slightly curly and curled white hair is so white that the blue blood vessels can be seen clearly. , Even the pale skin that even a little blood is set off shockingly under the white, gives people a strong impression of white.

If you take a closer look, you will find that apart from the white color that makes people feel a little worried, the boy's face is quite upright, and the clear and elegant outline can be classified as beautiful if it is seen by a girl. Looking down at him with that face that may be widely praised by the opposite sex, it is more picturesque against the background of bright blue sky and white clouds, with a slight worry on the face.

Are you, worried about me?

He made this most likely inference with uncertainty, saying that he was not sure because he didn't know the boy in front of him—a person with such striking features, even if he had never talked to him, as long as he met him, he would definitely not know it. forget.But maybe it's just that the young man in front of him is kind-hearted, even showing cordial concern to him who he doesn't know.

However, what happened to me, so that the teenagers I don't know in front of me show such concerned expressions?

Doubts arose in his heart, but before he could dig out the memories from before he woke up from his hazy head, the white-haired boy in front of him spoke again.

"You look uncomfortable. Although it's not just you, I, and everyone else are like this too, after all, being suddenly involved in such an unreasonable thing──"

As if noticing his gaze, the young man seemed to be a little relieved and slowed down the tense facial lines, and said something he couldn't understand and digest at the moment, probably because he noticed that there were still some lines on his face. With a dazed expression, the young man stopped talking halfway through, and asked again as if confirming and caring about him:

"Hey, are you listening to me?"

"Ah...well, sorry, I'm a little confused, can you let me organize my thoughts a little bit?"

Feeling that it's not very good for him to be in a daze when others are talking to him like this, and it's not very polite, he said something apologetic, shook his head, hoping to wake up a bit.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I started talking to you unconsciously...Did I bother you?"

The white-haired boy seemed to be apologetic as he spoke, his expression darkened slightly.When he saw this, he hurriedly waved his hands and quickly denied:

"That's not the case! In fact, thanks to you, I have a slight sense of returning to reality-I was still in a daze until you spoke."

While talking, maybe because of the opening of the mouth, the fog in his head gradually dissipated, and then he remembered what happened before.

By the way──I was supposed to report to Hope's Peak Academy and attend the opening ceremony, if I remember correctly.

He and Sapling Makoto recalled the series of things that happened just now, and a feeling of unreality came to their hearts again.

Probably due to the good luck accumulated in the previous life, not long ago, he was just an ordinary and inconspicuous high school student, and he was selected by Hope's Peak Academy as [Super High School Level Lucky]. He himself seems to want to complain about the subtle meaning of the title, but regardless of these, he thus obtained the admission qualifications of the legendary school "Graduating from here equals a successful life" in Hope's Peak. But it doesn't change.

Hope's Peak Academy is so famous because of its harsh conditions for recruiting students. To be more correct, it is not so much that students choose Hope's Peak to enroll, but it is a high school where Hope's Peak is in turn suitable for age. It is reasonable to select those who are outstanding in a certain aspect to enter the school. It is reasonable to say that saplings are ordinary in appearance, not to mention talents, and even the basic qualities that everyone has are only ordinary mortals. They want to enter the peak of hope. There was absolutely no possibility for the academy, so Naegi couldn't help but feel a little excited to be admitted by a lucky draw like this.

Although it is embarrassing to list all kinds of imaginations, Naegi is full of yearning and anticipation for the student life of Hope's Peak Academy that he is about to step into. This will not change──but he never thought about it at all. There will be such developments.

First, he woke up from an unexplained dizziness on the entrance day and found himself in a strange place. He tremblingly opened the only normal door in that place and entered a classroom that looked completely normal. Originally, he thought he could relax for a while. ──But it turns out that he is really naive.

The rabbit doll that jumped out suddenly and claimed to be the teacher, and the classroom that suddenly disintegrated (this completely frightened him silly at the time), and the discovery of an island outside the classroom that somehow turned into an unknown place on the beach, and what else Inexplicably, the school life that was supposed to start turned into a study trip on the South Island. Even the seedlings who dared to say that they only had the advantage of optimism were dazed and confused by the strange things that followed After receiving the electronic student handbook issued by Tumei, he couldn't help but stay in a daze, feeling quite confused about how things turned out like this.

Is this the scene of some special program?Could it be that the letter informing him that he can enroll with 'super high school luck' is really just a prank?The bait made to lure him to this place?

Seedling's mind is full of these questions, probably because he has been in a daze for a long time, and he dozed off unknowingly after tossing and turning because of the start of school last night, he would not have known When will I sleep.

Um, I didn't notice that everyone left at all, it seems that I really slept for a long time... This person should also be a classmate, right?Maybe you stayed because you were worried about me?What a nice guy.

Seedling looked around, and found that there was no one on the beach except him and the white boy in front of him. He looked at the white boy in front of him again, and couldn't help being a little moved.Therefore, the seedling thanked solemnly again:

"All in all, thank you very much for waking me up."

"No, no, it's nothing, and now it seems that you don't seem to need to worry as much as I imagined. I'm afraid that you will think you are nosy."

Seemingly being thanked by saplings by accident, the young man pushed back with a wry smile. Unlike his unique appearance, which makes people a bit unapproachable, the young man seems to be a very easy-going person.

The sapling who discovered this couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief, and then tried to cheer up and communicate with the other party.

"That...don't worry about that, speaking of it, I don't seem to know what to call you, can I ask your name?"

Speaking of this, Sapling, who just remembered that he had made 'preparations', couldn't help but look at the person in front of him with a bit of curiosity, trying to find someone who matched his intelligence from the characteristics of the other party.

It's just that he only memorized the information in a short period of time, and although most of the students recruited into Hope's Peak Academy are quite famous celebrities, there are also many unfamiliar people who can't even be called intelligence experts on the Internet. What kind of name can be used to enroll, and after enrolling, he will be divided into classes according to the situation. He is not confident that he will find the other party's information, but those names that do not know the specific details will be announced before [Super High School What is the title of the class], perhaps a little bit can be guessed from the title.

"That's right, you seemed to be distracted when you introduced yourself just now, and you even forgot to introduce yourself to everyone. Then I will introduce myself again. I am Komaeda Nagito, please give me your advice. Ah, by the way Let me explain my talent, although it is not a talent worth mentioning, but my talent is 'lucky'."

Perhaps aware of Naegi's doubts after hearing his name, Komaeda continued with a hearty smile.However, what he said made Miao Mu stunned for a moment, and asked:

"Lucky?...Could it be 'super high school level luck'?"

Not quite sure, and at the moment somewhat incomprehensible, Naegi was even convinced for a moment that the admission notice he had received was indeed someone's malicious joke──After all, among the many characteristics of Hope Peak, the same class never recruits the same title, even if It is one of the common senses that almost everyone knows that the limit of the talent field is close and it has to be distinguished by different titles.

If the Komaeda in front of him can say without guilt or hesitation that he is "super high school-level lucky", then the sapling who has not had the slightest sense of that title since receiving the letter is undoubtedly a fake, and his fake is still in existence. Unknowingly standing in front of the real thing.

No, it doesn't have to be like this... In short, ask first before talking, there may be some misunderstandings.

Although his whole body turned cold for a moment because of his own guess, just like Naegi admitted, the only thing he can boast about is his optimistic and positive personality. He quickly cheered up and waited for Komaeda's reply.

"Did you know that too? Haha, it seems that you are also a fan of Hope's Peak. That's right, I am this year's 'Super High School Level Lucky', although for someone like me For a while, I was lucky enough to be drawn into the Peak of Hope, and I felt terrified, and tried to refuse, but was retained. It seems that as a study of luck, a "super high school-level lucky person" is selected every year. 'No matter what kind of person they are, they want to be kept in school, but luck is such a thing, and even this is studied so seriously, it really deserves to be called Peak of Hope."

Hearing Naegi's words, Komaeda seemed a little surprised, but then he smiled, nodded, and said so.

Slightly out of Naegi's surprise, the person in front of him seems to be surprisingly fond of talking, but if you think about it carefully, it may not be too surprising, after all, this person had said a lot to Naegi before he was awake words, but he doesn't particularly dislike such traits.

However, as he spoke, the smile on Komaeda's face dimmed slightly.

"Although it is such a blessing that someone like me can enter Hope's Peak Academy, although I am very happy...But on the other hand, it is also a little uncomfortable...Ah, sorry, I was immersed in it unconsciously. In the negative thinking, this is also my old problem, so, my self-introduction is basically this.”

Perhaps noticing Naegi's expression, Komaeda immediately waved his hand with a slightly reassuring smile implying don't worry too much, and then concluded with a cheerful tone.

And Komaeda's meaning probably also has the meaning of "it's your turn". However, if you really want to let sapling introduce himself, you must also have to mention the talent to enter Hope Peak, which makes him a little embarrassed.

Anyway, let's be honest!Komaeda-san seems to know a lot about Hope's Peak, so he might be able to find a reasonable explanation for our situation.

After a moment of hesitation, Naegi made a decision, and with a little nervousness, he mustered up the courage to speak:

"My name is Makoto Naegi...Well, if I'm not mistaken, I should be the same as you. I entered Hope's Peak Academy with 'super high school-level luck'."
