Paradise Rhapsody

But no matter what, I still have confidence in the sapling of 'not a betrayer'...Probably, and after the party started, Shishen didn't care about his affairs, although he ordered Bian Gushan to keep the boxes containing dangerous goods, He also agreed with Qihai to go outside to guard against black and white bears. These actions made the seedlings a little uneasy, but after the official start, the seedlings also left other things behind like everyone else, and happily enjoyed the hearty dishes. Listening to the pleasant conversations of other people, He also forgot the invisible barrier that he felt earlier──and the others seemed to be the same. Even if he spoke occasionally, no one evaded him as blatantly as Zuo Tian did earlier.

In short, in the first half, everything is very happy. Is it true that the cooking is made by Hanamura, who is recognized by Hope Peak?It was so delicious that people wanted to swallow their own tongues; and as soon as it became lively, the alienation that seemed to have disappeared gradually disappeared. Although Zuo Tian still seemed to avoid him deliberately, it seemed that other people did not continue to maintain a sense of distance Yes, however—everything changed after a sudden power outage.

They found the body under the table at the back, the body of the ten gods.

However, this is not the worst thing for seedlings. The adhesive tape coated with fluorescent paint on the bottom of the dining table and the fruit knife that was also coated with paint fell to the side made the seedlings feel dark when they saw it. There are a lot of emotions in my heart, and I don't know which kind of emotion is the most.

Everyone was confused, but their reactions were different. Naegi didn't remember it, he only remembered Komaeda who noticed his expression, and looked down at him, not knowing whether it was pity or mockery.

After the black and white bear jumped out and taunted them with a cheerful attitude, and proposed the rules of "school referee", although they were busy and dazed, they all started to move. After the search and referee, they were punished again I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. After a few people left the field, when the seedlings came out of the referee field, they felt as if they had passed away.

Probably because his head was still a little confused, the seedling didn't choose to go back to the hut to rest immediately, but walked slowly outside, clearing his mind while blowing the wind.

After all the plans were exposed, Hanamura said that he just wanted to stop Komaeda, and he just planned to get rid of the 'betrayer'. However, after being exposed by Monokuma, he said that he was just worried about his sick mother, so worried that he wanted to go out I was going crazy, but the last sentence was an apology to sapling.

He said, "I'm sorry, Naegi-san, I knew it would be good to tell everyone after I found out according to what you said... If I had chosen to trust others earlier, aha... ahahahaha..."

After finishing speaking, Hanamura smiled weakly and wryly, and was brutally killed in front of saplings.

Although the matter was resolved because of this, knowing who the murderer was, Sasagi Komaeda and Masquerade, and letting others know that Naegi would not be a traitor, none of this could change. They lost everything overnight. The facts of the two companions.

As soon as he realized this, Naegi felt deep exhaustion welling up from the depths of his body, and his steps were so heavy that he felt that every step he took was extraordinarily difficult.

Walking across the bridge silently and slowly, the seedlings glanced over the beach inadvertently, and were stunned for a moment. A certain figure whose hair was blown by the wind like a white flame was standing there watching ocean.

For some reason, Sapling subconsciously changed her direction and walked to the beach where she didn't plan to go.

"Hey, Naegi-san, what's the matter?"

Probably noticing the movement, Komaeda turned to look at him and asked with a teasing smile.

At this moment, Naegi was not in the mood to choose words carefully and to have a roundabout dialogue, so he nodded and answered directly.

"Well, yeah, I want to talk to you."

"Oh? Even if I might be a 'betrayer'? Aren't you afraid that I will throw your body into the sea after I attack you in the dead of night and there are no other people around?"

Regarding Komaeda's smiling threats, Naegi doesn't know whether it's because he has encountered too many things all day today, or because his emotions have reached a limit, so there is no room for more additions. Threat, he didn't feel scared, but replied very calmly:

"Even if it is, it doesn't matter, and if you really plan to attack, Komaeda-san, you won't warn me in advance, right?"

"It's obvious that the person who boasted about Haikou's plan to stop me earlier, but failed miserably, is so confident in his own opinion?"

Komaeda's obvious malicious attitude and sarcasm did not shake Naegi's attitude. He ignored the other party's unfriendly attitude and said to himself:

"Actually, after what happened, I regretted it - I regretted that I didn't talk to Hanamura more, I felt the anxiety in his heart, and I also regretted that I didn't choose to confess to Ten God and tell everything I saw in advance. he."

Seedling didn't just talk casually. He just found out that the most emotion in his heart was remorse after finishing his thoughts. He regretted that he didn't realize the hidden things behind his hesitant attitude during the last time he talked with people alone in Hanamura. , and persuaded him through conversations, let him temporarily let go of his obsession with leaving the island, and not follow Komaeda's design; he also regretted that he was too concerned about whether he would be suspected of lying, and missed the opportunity to tell ten gods , did not tell the ten gods who had been vigilant for a long time about what Komaeda had done.

Obviously he has seen some key things, but he obviously had a chance to prevent the tragedy from happening, but he missed that opportunity──This is what Miaomu regrets the most after the whole day is over.

"So, I decided not to give up so easily. I want to understand everyone's inner thoughts, even Komaeda-san, who may be a traitor. I also want to understand you, so I hope you will also give me a chance to talk. ──I come to you now, just to ask you for this matter, because I don’t want to experience the same regret again. Even if I am really weak, there is no way to prevent certain things from happening, but I believe, there is still something I can do as a person.”

Saying that, Naegi looked straight at Komaeda sincerely, hoping that what he said from the bottom of his heart would be conveyed to the other party smoothly.As if he didn't expect to hear these words, Komaeda looked dazed for a moment, but then he narrowed his eyes, stared at Sapling with a bit of indifference and scrutiny, and said:

"So what, you just have a lucky title, but you don't talk about whether you are lucky or not. Apart from that, you don't have any special talents. What can you do if you talk to other people and get to know each other deeply? "

"I don't know about this kind of thing yet, but rather than doing nothing, it's better to try to do what can be done, isn't it? Is it possible that because the chances are slim, you have to give up the last hope that may remain , give up everything and try nothing?"

But sapling didn't flinch or flinch, and met the opponent's eyes, speaking in a rare and strong tone.

Even if Naegi had been helped by the other party at the beginning, he felt that Komaeda's previous intentions and contempt for the coldness of the losing party were not worthy of forgiveness, which was quite irritating. a handful.

But this does not mean that he intends to completely give up on Komaeda, even if the possibility is slim, Sapling also wants to try to understand the other party and the crux of the distorted concept in the other party's heart, and see if he can try to change the other party's thinking──he is Really don't want something like this to happen again.

Moreover, sapling also wants to believe that the gentleness Komaeda showed at the beginning is not completely false, and wants to believe that the other party still has kindness in his nature. Even if he is really completely black, he still wants to wait until he fully understands this person After all of that, give up on the idea.

"...You can do whatever you want, after all, if you want to talk to me, I can't stop you, can you?"

I don't know if he was stopped by Naegi's words, or because he, who has always been gentle and easy to bully, seldom showed his power once, so he was unexpectedly stunned. Looking away, he left this sentence indifferently, then turned and left.

This is... a success, right?

Seedling had no intention of chasing after him either, looking at the back of the other party leaving, he thought uncertainly.

At this time, a cool sea breeze blew by, and the temperature on Jabawak Island was cooler after nightfall. During the day, he only felt the refreshing and comfortable cool wind that made him shiver. Seedling immediately remembered the current time, and did not continue to think about it , also turned around and went back to the room to rest.

It's just that until he fell asleep at night, Miao Mu still secretly hoped that everything today was just a nightmare under his anxiety, even though he knew it all too well, it was just an idea based on evasion.

With a touch of happiness and hope in his arms, Makoto Sapling slowly fell into sleep.
