Paradise Rhapsody

The moment he finished speaking, it seemed that the air had cooled down—this might also be Naegi's psychological illusion, because when he looked at the person in front of him in surprise, the person in front of him was stunned for a moment, and then still smiled.

"Really, Naegi-san, you really like to joke── Hope's Peak Academy only selects one student as 'Super High School-level Lucky' every year. This is an unchanging practice. Alright, don't make jokes Now, what is your real super high school level ability?"

Although since waking up, Naegi has always had the impression that Komaeda, who stayed on the beach because he cared about him, was "very kind", but he also flinched from the momentum that came to his face at this time, and flashed in his heart whether he should Following the meaning of Komaeda's words, it would be better to change his words and say that he was just joking, but he has already decided to tell the truth, and he really has no other "super high school level ability" to tell Komaeda, so even if A little unable to bear the current pressure, he still bit the bullet and continued.

"It's not like that, I'm not lying... The admission notice I received did say that I was admitted with 'super high school-level luck', otherwise, how could it be possible for an ordinary person like me with no amazing talents Entered this school. I heard that Komaeda-san was also admitted with 'super high school-level luck', and I don't know what happened──Look, I brought the admission letter from the beginning, it said that I was 'Super high school-level luck', right?"

While secretly rejoicing that when he first came to Hope's Peak Academy, he was afraid that he would not be questioned if he entered the academy with a lucky title or that there would be something to confirm, so he deliberately brought the original admission notice here, Naegi took out the folded notification letter from his pocket and handed it to Komaeda.

Komaeda reached out and snatched the letter, opened it and read it without saying a word, as if judging the authenticity of the letter.

Wouldn't it be better for me not to insist that I'm also 'super high school-level lucky'?

Just looking at Komaeda's smiling face that had been hanging from time to time since the beginning disappeared, and his face remained expressionless and silent, Naegi couldn't help being a little scared, and questioned the decision he had just made.

I also remembered that when Komaeda introduced himself just now, when he said that he was selected to enter the school, Komaeda seemed a little happy and a little sad. Just like him who had received the admission letter, he was completely unconcerned about being able to enter Hope Peak. I can't believe it, but I don't have the slightest self-confidence. It may be a blow to the other party to say that I am also "lucky".

"It's true—it's not fake."

Seeming to have finally made a decision, Komaeda calmed down—although Naegi would like to use indifference to describe the expression on which the temperature had completely dropped—and had a pensive expression, and said in a lukewarm manner Then, he returned the refolded acceptance letter to Sapling.

"Then, then... What will happen in this situation? Komaeda-san said that Peak of Hope only recruits one "super high school-level lucky person" each year, right? If I and Komaeda-san are both If it's fake 'lucky', could there be some reason for this situation?"

Seedling tried to ask the other party, hoping to know some guesses from the other party as a reference.

And Komaeda narrowed his eyes and stared at him for a while, probably evaluating how to treat him. After a few seconds, he didn't know what judgment he made, and his expression softened a little—this made Naegi feel Feeling a little relieved──, he said in a rather easy-going tone:

"Well~ I have some guesses, but I'm not sure, so please let me keep it a secret. Speaking of which, Naegi-san, you don't seem to know anyone else, right? You were completely distracted when you introduced yourself just now, how about we How about going to see the environment of the island we are staying on first, and talk about it after we get to know everyone?"

Although it was a suggestion, Komaeda's tone had an aura that could not be refused. Due to the momentum, Naegi swallowed the words that he wanted to protest, and nodded involuntarily.

"Very well, let's go then? Let's start with the nearest airport."

Probably satisfied with Naegi's answer, Komaeda finally smiled again, and spoke in a cheerful tone again.

But at this time, Naegi no longer feels at ease simply because of the other party's smiling face that seems to have no haze, but observes him with a bit of confusion and timidity, and only after confirming that the other party is really not unhappy now, he calms down. Nodded in response.

I went around the No. [-] island where I was currently active, and introduced myself to many people. No matter how dull the sapling was, I noticed that something seemed wrong.

Huh……?Strangely, even if there may be errors and inaccuracies in the information on the discussion thread, it is not to this extent.

Super high school level mechanic.Yoshida Kazuichi, super high school level breeding committee.Tanaka cobra dream, super high school level health committee.Satsuki Satsuma, Super High School Level Light Music Department.Miota Yuibuki... There are many other names that sound amazing, and they are indeed quite amazing from the introduction of Komaeda, who seems to have made preparations before enrolling, but I didn't look at them before Naegi started school. I've seen it in the discussion thread, and the ones he knows are like super high school-level idols.Maizono Sayaka, a super high school-level programmer.Chihiro Fujisaki, a super high school level baseball player.Sangtian Lianen and others, but none of them appeared on this island.

If it weren't for the fact that some people are so famous that even saplings would have heard of them vaguely in other people's chats, Tanaka, who is a member of the talent breeding committee, even visited saplings' school after the incident of wild white cranes breaking into the campus in middle school. The incident happened, and Naegi, who was the person involved in the incident, had a face-to-face conversation with the other party (although Tanaka didn’t seem to recognize him as the original wild crane releaser from his appearance), if it wasn’t like this, maybe he I also wonder if those super high school levels really exist.

If it's because of the division of classes, it's impossible that none of the super high school grades he knew appeared in front of him, and with the famous names of these people he knew on the island, it's impossible to be missed in the discussion thread .

In addition to the fact that there is only one class, but he and Komaeda are both "super high school-level luck", Naegi finally noticed that there seemed to be something wrong.

Could it be... as a freshman, I was misidentified, and I mistakenly stumbled into the school trip of the senior sisters of other students, right?However, judging from other people's mouths, he also said that they should be freshmen... What's going on?

On the way to Central Island through the wooden bridge, Naegi tried to tell his thoughts to Komaeda who was traveling with him, and Komaeda nodded, affirming his inference:

"This is indeed very possible. After all, assuming that you and my 'Super High School Level Lucky' are genuine, there is only the possibility that we are two 'Super High School Level Lucky' from different classes." It makes sense. But just like what you are confused about, in my and other people's perception, we are all freshmen of Hope Peak who are just about to enter school, and you don't look like a senior, so This is the strangest part—by the way, when were you born?"

"You were born in February [-], what about you, Komaeda-san?"

Guessing what Komaeda was trying to infer by asking this topic, Naegi answered honestly—in fact, there was nothing to hide about this question, and then asked.

"April in [-], it seems that I am older than you. Although the age of admission to Hope's Peak Academy is not as easy to infer as ordinary high schools, it is not impossible to use it as a reference... Naegi-san, you accept How many years will it be until the admission notice is issued?"

Komaeda smiled, said, and then asked again.

This should have been an easy question to answer, but when Naegi opened his mouth to speak, he choked in shock.

Strange, strange...it shouldn't be hard to remember, of course I received the green acquisition notice not long ago this year, but──huh?Why, I can't remember, how old is this year?

He can't think of such a simple question, but he will forget it. Although he is not proud of his memory, he doesn't think it is too bad. Seedling has been hit a little bit. He never thought of an answer to the question.

"Sapling-san? Are you okay?"

As if surprised by the sudden change in Naegi's expression, Komaeda leaned slightly to look at his face, and called out.

"I'm fine... It's just that I seem to have forgotten what year I received the green acquisition notice, and I can't remember it no matter how hard I try."

Hanging his shoulders a little frustrated, Naegi honestly confessed this embarrassing thing that would be confused by laughter.However, Komaeda didn't laugh because of this, but just pondered thoughtfully.

"Humph—is that so? This matter is very meaningful. Although it may be because Naegi-san is simply a person with a bad memory and a forgetful mind. But let's put this matter aside for the time being. After crossing the bridge, there should be only one person left, Naegi-san, who hasn’t gotten to know each other yet, let’s wait until we get to know each other.”

After finishing speaking, Komaeda showed that kind of soft but at the same time a smile that made people feel irresistible. Although it may be Naegi's psychological effect that made him feel this way, but now he can't resist such a smile at all , although he is still very concerned about the fact that he has forgotten the year of this year, but he still puts it aside for the time being.

During the conversation, they had already passed the bridge. The central island is mainly a transfer station connecting other islands, so there are not many buildings lined up like the No. [-] island. The only thing that can be called straight is the center Jabba Walker Park, so they didn't waste much time wondering where to start, but went straight to Jabba Walker Park to meet the last person left.

However, after seeing that person, he heard that the other person called himself a noble son of a super high school level.When the ten gods were in the white night, they probably never expected that the ten gods mentioned in the materials would have such an appearance, and the saplings even themselves were a little bit surprised by the strong impact.

Yuan, it turns out that the legendary Ten Gods classmate who is the next successor of the Ten Gods Consortium has grown up like this?

Although it is reasonable to say that Naegi should be able to act calmly when he finally sees a person mentioned in the information he checked in advance, but probably in his imagination, this person should be the elite among the elite, and has The person with the title of noble son, even if he does not have the shining and handsome appearance like the noble son in the comics, should still be a person who looks very temperamental and imposing, but the person in front of him is indeed very imposing and supple. The shiny blond hair can also be called shiny, and even if you look closely without prejudice, the facial features are indeed very delicate and beautiful, but──

The body and size are so huge, is it because I have been sitting in the office for a long time and have not exercised, so I have become so fat at this age?

Some impolite comments can't help but appear in his mind, but this also proves how shocked and shaken the seedlings were after seeing the appearance of the ten gods.

"Hey, what does your expression mean? Do you have any opinion on me?"

Probably the seedling's expression was too obvious, he frowned displeasedly, turned to seedling and asked coldly.

"No, it's not... It's just a little unexpected. I didn't expect that Jushen, who is the heir of such a huge consortium, would actually become our classmate. I always feel quite incredible."

Of course it was impossible and he dared not tell the truth. He found other words to say, but these words were not completely perfunctory.

After all, it is the 'Ten Gods Consortium'. If it is the sole heir of the super consortium that ranks second and no other consortium dares to claim the first place, it is almost equal to the legendary existence in the population, no matter its amazing talent. No matter the legendary feat of owning and running several large companies under his own name and obtaining a very high net worth by his own ability, even if no private photos are leaked due to privacy issues, he is already the dream lover in the hearts of many girls , Prince Charming, even if those people know the true appearance of the ten gods, there must be many people who will fight to be the wives of the ten gods. It is an exaggerated character of this level. That ten gods will also be entering school soon, and Naegi is also really quite surprised.

"Hmph, regardless of my title or status, I'm still an ordinary high school student. It's not surprising that I entered Hope's Peak Academy—no, it should be taken for granted. I'm just surprised that you mortals treat us like this. Strange prejudices like humans, as long as they are Japanese citizens, unless there are special circumstances, everyone at this age should go to school, right?"

Ten gods seemed to scoff at Naogi's statement, and said indifferently.

Seeing Jugami speak in a majestic manner that ordinary people don't have when they say such things, and to put it in a bad word, it is a bit condescending and arrogant, and the sapling who was originally impacted by Tokigami's size slowly has "this person is really It's the real feeling of the super high school-level nobleman, Jugami Shiraya', and he even came up out of nowhere with the strange feeling of "no matter what your size is, if you are a Jugami classmate, you should speak with this attitude", Naegi I think this is probably the "strange prejudice" that ten gods said.
