Paradise Rhapsody

Hearing someone's voice suddenly, Naegi was startled, turned his head, only to see Koizumi who was holding his arms not far away, who seemed a little unhappy, and Sonia who seemed to be walking together and who seemed to be thinking about something. Over there, from the voice just now, it should be what Koizumi said.

It was only then that he realized that he seemed to be blocking the way of others, Naogi hurriedly backed away a few steps, but before he could say anything, Yoshida, who was startled again, yelled.

"Wow! When did you come here!"

Apparently, Zuo Tian, ​​like Miao Mu, only now realized that someone was approaching. His reaction was stronger than Miao Mu's, his shoulders shook suddenly, as if he almost jumped up, he screamed, and then asked back.

"It came when you were discussing the target object. I originally wanted to wait for you to notice that we wanted to pass here and get out of the way, but it seemed that you were chatting too vigorously, so I had to remind you aloud. Although It is said that there are only sixteen of us on the island and the space is very spacious, but don’t be so careless that you don’t even notice the things around you!”

Koizumi waved his hands impatiently, and after answering, he was a little dissatisfied and taught a lesson.

Start by discussing goals?Ah, didn't I hear that Zuo Tian-san's goal is Sonia-san?

After hearing this, Sapling, regardless of the embarrassment of being heard by others that her favorite type is an idol, thought of this first, and was a little surprised to see Xenia's reaction.

"Huh? Since then!? Then, Suo, Miss Sonia...?"

Zuo Tian seemed to have thought of this as well, and after repeating it in a bit of astonishment, with a trace of expectation and nervousness, he stared at Sonia who was beside Koizumi, and stammered out calling.

"Huh? What? Sorry, I was thinking about other things just now, and I didn't listen carefully to what you were saying?"

However, it was probably when she heard someone calling her name that she came back to her senses. Sonia had an expression as if she had suddenly woken up from a dream. She blinked in bewilderment and surprise. She glanced at the other people present, as if she hoped that someone would tell her what she had missed.

"Never mind it, it's nothing important. Well, let's go, Sonia, we've been taking a lot of time because of these two people."

It seemed that there were other things, or he just didn't want to take care of such troublesome things, Koizumi said bluntly, and after finishing the topic, he wanted to lead Sonia through the passage blocked by saplings and the others.

"Well, wait a minute, are you looking for something specific? Just now, Zuo Tian and I have roughly investigated most of the places in the supermarket. If there is something you are looking for, maybe we can tell you directly. In which area does it exist?"

Although it seems that Koizumi, who is currently making up his mind in the girls' duo, doesn't want to get involved in chatting with them any more, but Naegi hesitated for a moment, and still spoke out.

"Huh? Is that so?"

Seemingly a little surprised, Koizumi stopped and thought for a while, but shook his head and refused the help of saplings.

"──No, Sonia and I have found it by ourselves, and it's not particularly important. But thank you for your kindness, and I will trouble you next time if I need to find other things."

But even though he refused, Koizumi's originally tensed expression due to impatience softened a little. After smiling, he waved his hands and continued to move forward with Sonia.

Ah, I declined... Is it something that is inconvenient for people to find?

After staying for a while, the seedlings thought about it, but they were not particularly angry.On the contrary, Zuo Tian stared at Koizumi's leaving back, looking even more unhappy.

"What, the attitude just now. If I really want to tell you, Koizumi is probably the least cute among the girls on the island at the moment. It's okay to have nothing special except for her red hair, and her personality is so flattering. Suspect."

"Eh, it's not to the point where you have to be said that, right? At least, Koizumi-san is a bit strict with boys, but he won't just lose his temper with others without a reason."

Although I can’t say that I like Koizumi very much, but I don’t think Koizumi is as bad as Yoshida said——From Naegi’s point of view, Koizumi’s personality is probably the type that is common to girls of the same age. In a certain way, in terms of personality Probably the few ordinary Koizumi on the island who were as ordinary as him made him feel a little bit closer—so Naegi said something more fair for Koizumi.

In fact, this is also the case, at least from what Naegi currently sees, even if the target is a boy, Koizumi will not show his face or scold others without reason. Previously, Naegi was blamed for his unreliable performance, but this time it was because of his unreliable performance. Although Koizumi's not-so-polite tone is indeed not very flattering and he feels a little uncomfortable, Naegi doesn't dislike it to the point where it can be called resentment──Although there are some of them Rejecting the help, but still thanking him frankly, this has added points for balance, but it's true that Naegi doesn't think Koizumi is so bad that he has to use excessive words to criticize.

"I think it's because you are so kind, Naegi, right? That guy's attitude is not just a little strict, but it is simply too strict. We are not her students or children. What is the attitude of bossing around?" Looks good! In contrast, Ms. Sonia is almost like an angel, with a polite smile and a gentle attitude! Koizumi can’t even match her one finger! Especially the way she tilted her head in confusion just now is super cute, isn’t it? ──”

And Zuo Tian obviously didn't agree with his point of view. After criticizing with disapproval on his face, he suddenly changed his attitude and started a nympho to Sonia with a face full of intoxication. Ya recited the song from head to toe, and asked the seedlings to echo and agree from time to time.

By the time the seedlings understood that Zuo Tian was completely unable to talk and listen to topics other than Sonia, he had already been forced to listen to Zuo Tian's admiration for Sonia, and his mind was full of 'princess' and 'blonde' With words like ', he had to deeply understand that the person in front of him didn't just talk about it, but really liked Sonia so passionately that it was about to overflow.

When it came to noon, Zuo Tian was still hungry no matter how excited he was, and the two finally stopped the preaching of Sonia, who had wanted to end a long time ago but was afraid to interrupt due to the momentum of the other party. Go to the restaurant.

"Oh, well, I'm full, I'm full! Next, I want to go to the airport to see what I can use. Will you go with Miaomu?"

After going back to the restaurant for lunch together, probably knowing that Naegi wanted to investigate the island, after a long stretch, Satoda asked casually before leaving his seat.

If he hadn't experienced the concept of "Sonia is so beautiful, Sonia is so awesome, Sonia is the number one in the world" that was forced to be instilled earlier, perhaps Naegi would be quite willing to agree to this invitation, but although seeing After getting up and expressing his love for Sonia and returning to his normal state, Naegi couldn't guarantee whether he would poke the switch of the left and right fields and listened to the same tone again, so he smiled dryly and refused:

"That, that, I don't need it, I want to go to other places to see, let's talk about it next time."

"Oh, really? Then I'll go, and tell me if you find anything with clues."

Zuo Tian didn't pay much attention or said something to keep him. After a reply, he said something casually and waved away.

Haha...it's finally over.It seems that Zuo Tian's love for Sonia is at the fanatic level, even if I can't spend a few hours just to praise everything about Wu Yuan in different words.

Although I feel a little sorry for Zuo Tian who just confirmed that the two of them are "half friends" not long ago, but the departure of Zuo Tian made the seedlings feel relieved. When he thought of the terrible missionary offensive just now, he thought helplessly and couldn't help but sigh slightly Take a breath.

Although Sonia is indeed very beautiful, hearing Zuo Tian's fanatical praises for her all the time makes people feel a subtle sense of resistance, and they can't praise her frankly... Ah, this can't be Zuo Tian's goal Bar?No, maybe I was thinking too much.

Suddenly thought of a possibility, even though he himself quickly denied it, but Naegi suddenly became more subtle about his feelings for Zuo Tian.

Uh, no matter what, Zuo Tian doesn't feel like he would have such a scheming... Let's not think too much about it.

Not wanting to dwell on the possibility that Yoshida had been pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, Naegi simply turned away from the object of his thinking and dug out the information about Sonia from his memory.

Sonia.Navamande, who sounds like a foreigner from his name, is indeed a princess from a certain foreign country. It seems that he was admitted to Hope's Peak Academy as a 'super high school-level princess'.Although Naegi was quite surprised that Hope's Peak Academy also recruited high school students from countries other than Japan when he officially introduced himself to Sonia. In a way, it is even more incredible to come here to study because of the admission notice of a certain school.

Even people who live in Japan basically think that Hope Peak is a top-notch world-class school, but whether the reputation abroad is the same is not guaranteed, and even if the reputation is equally excellent, the country's Even if the princess is a princess from a small country, she has the same noble status. Her own ability is excellent enough to be recruited by Hope Peak. I am afraid that she can choose from all kinds of international famous schools that are equally excellent. She can choose one It is indeed surprising to think that I went to a relatively nearby and equally famous school, but deliberately came to the distant and unfamiliar East.

But even if there is any special reason, it's inconvenient for outsiders to get to the bottom of it, right?After all, although they became companions who were trapped together on the island, as the princess of the other party, they could not easily say that they were half friends and establish friendship like Zuo Zuotian. Misunderstanding that it is intentional friendship, wanting to gain benefits by having friendship with powerful people, and the like.

Although Naegi also knew that he didn't understand Sonia's personality, and it was not appropriate to make such a conclusion, but it was true that he did not dare to approach Sonia rashly because of her status as a foreign royal family. Now people always have a soft impression with a smile, and it seems much more approachable than the ten gods who always speak in an arrogant tone.

... Regardless of these things, let's decide what to do in the afternoon.

After thinking about it for a while, after all, Sonia and Sonia are still half strangers, and we all know that Yoshida is interested in her. Naegi also wants to avoid the danger of a love triangle caused by too much affection for him due to paying too much attention to the other party. relationship, so I started to think about more realistic things.

If you don't want to seriously think about the graduation requirement announced by Monokuma—that is, kill—, in fact, there is no mandatory schedule or work on the island, which means that there is so much free time that it makes people panic.

In this way, the movement is indeed very free. You don’t have to worry about your homework and you don’t have to force yourself because you have nothing to do, but it also makes you feel at a loss for the sudden freedom. Continue to search the island as God said, but Naegi is also afraid that if he investigates all the places that can be visited too early, even if he wants to find something to pass the time in the days to come, there will be no way.

So, really, should I still look for other people?

After getting along with Satoda earlier, Naegi has a little bit of confidence in having a peaceful dialogue with other people—although they are all talented people, but not necessarily all of them are difficult to get close to——I feel like this Afterwards, he was less hesitant to try to understand other people's behavior.

This time, just let it be and see if you can meet someone who can talk to you and talk together.Even if you don't meet anyone you can talk to, it's not bad to spend the afternoon leisurely.

After making his decision, Naegi left his seat and walked outside the restaurant.
