[Danwanron Hakomae] Hope synaesthesia

"Well, good afternoon."

Okami Sakura nodded slightly at Komaeda in the room, turned around and closed the door of the entertainment room, and sat in front of him.

Komaeda Nagito put down his greeting hand with a smile, and folded his hands to support his chin, looking at the quiet super high school-level fighter with interesting eyes.

It was five o'clock in the afternoon, and one day and nine hours had passed since Monokuma announced Okami Sakura's identity.

In order to avoid suspicion, and she seemed to have some physical discomfort, Ogami Sakura locked herself in the house for a whole day.But everyone knows that this way of escaping won't last long. As far as Komaeda knows, Sapling went to Ogami Sakura's room to talk to her once that afternoon.Then this morning, because of Fu Chuan's slander, Asahina, who had a conflict with her, was cut on her thigh by the scissors of Genocide Sho, and almost cried out on the spot in pain and fear of being threatened.

The situation has developed to such an intense point, no matter how unwilling to cause trouble, it is impossible for Okami Sakura to continue silently and patiently as usual.

"Speaking of it, I'm really a little surprised. I didn't expect that student Dashen would specially ask someone like me to meet me. I don't think I should have any place worthy of your attention, right? Or—" The smile on the corner of his lips widened, " You, who have fallen so low that you are willing to be that person's helper, as a player in this grand game of cannibalism, plan to kill me here?"

Dark excitement surged deep in the deep gray-green pupils, and Komaeda Nagito, who asked such a sensitive question that made the atmosphere suddenly tense, had a very interested expression at this time.

This man is not normal.

Ogami Sakura stared at his face for a long time and came to this conclusion.

As early as the first time he appeared on the referee field, he had already noticed that Nagito Komaeda, who had just appeared, had shown quite contradictory targeting and persistence towards Makoto Naegi.She didn't know what happened between these two people afterwards. It may be that the two people who had known each other resolved the conflict, or it may be because of the existence of Makoto Naegi, who later behaved like an ordinary high school student. Except for some insight and deduction that are superior to ordinary people, there is nothing abnormal.

However, the change occurred in the school-level referee session in which Naegi was absent.

"What's the matter? Aren't everyone here are excellent super high school grades? Why didn't you even notice such an obvious thing?

"Yes, yes, I saw Ten Gods in disguise.

"Oh, I'm really disappointed, Owada-san has already obtained the help of Ten God Lords, and the two super high school-levels work together, why did they fail?

"To be honest, I actually feel a little disillusioned. You are all excellent super high school grades. If you only have this kind of meager and fragile hope, killing or being killed, I am afraid that it will soon come to an end.

"You guys like this, what qualifications do you have... Ha! By the way, do you know what real hope is?"

He is jealous.

He is angry.

The inexplicable jealousy, the unexplainable anger, hidden behind the eloquent words, there was an extremely faint trace of hostility that she could not ignore.

Not only against the black and white bears, but even against everyone present.

It was a turmoil and anomaly like a flash in the pan, and it disappeared again when Makoto Naogi reappeared in everyone's sight.

Just like the vortex of the undercurrent under the water, the inside has changed beyond recognition, it's just suppressing the calm on the surface.

"I have no intention of killing you." Ogami Sakura's answer was very solemn and sincere, "Whether it's you, Fu Chuan, Shi Shen, and Ye Yin, everyone is a precious companion, and I have made up my mind that I will not be a harm companion. things."

That's why she invited students who had doubts about her identity one by one, and she didn't ask why Komaeda suddenly moved the agreed meeting time forward by an hour and staggered it with others. I am eliminating barriers with everyone, and I hope that my companions can return to a whole.

As if he didn't expect to get such an answer, the expression of the person opposite suddenly went blank for a moment.

"Okami-san, if it were you, even Monokuma would not be able to do anything about your safety. Why did you choose to walk with Monokuma?" Komaeda was rather confused than asking her. talking to himself.

Even so, she answered honestly.

"There is no need to hide the matter now." She smiled, "The black and white bear is using the dojo of the Great God Clan as a hostage... Maybe it is just an insignificant thing in your eyes, but it has been my clan for hundreds of years. The place that has been guarded for generations must not be cut off. Therefore, on the first night of coming here, I chose to compromise with Monokuma."

"Not long ago, you, who cultivated a classmate friendship with everyone, regretted it. You chose to betray Monokuma. As a price, Monokuma also betrayed you, destroying you by announcing the inside story of the ulterior transaction between you. Interpersonal relationship among classmates." Komaeda continued calmly.

"Yes."

A smile appeared on Ogami Sakura's face.

There was a brief silence, and Komaeda smiled again.

"Ah——that's it, although it's not too unexpected, but, how should I put it, your hope still surprises me a little." His body tilted slightly, and he changed to one hand to support Looking at the side of the face, the gesture of fingers brushing the end of the eyes has a hint of laziness, "No wonder, occasionally I feel someone watching, but it's obviously not that person, because there is not much malice."

"Because the black hand behind the scenes ordered me to monitor your movements. But because I have to avoid the sight of saplings who are not involved, I can't fully grasp your actions." Halfway through the sentence, she suddenly realized something, "Wait, listen to you Do you mean that you know the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Komaeda stood up.

He turned around and walked to the pool table on the other side, brought a large pitcher of carbonated black tea and a small bucket of ice cubes from there, removed the chess board from the small table between them, and put the drinks on the table.

"Did student Dashen notice anything when dealing with that guy?"

Noticing that he deliberately avoided the topic, Ogami Sakura took a deep look at him.

"I found out, that man did something to our bodies."

She paused for a moment, then smiled slightly, with a warm gleam in her eyes.

"By the way, Ms. Sapling came here to find me. Do you know what his purpose is?"

Komaeda paused while pouring the tea, his eyes fixed on the light brown drink, watching the tiny air bubbles float from the bottom of the cup to the surface of the water, and his lips moved slightly.

"He means he's decided to trust you."

"Not only that, but he also asked a question."

——I know that Master Dashen is a person who has learned mixed martial arts after delving into countless fighting genres. You, who are so outstanding, should have a more detailed understanding of the human body than us.I have a puzzle and I don't know if I can ask you for help. Without endangering life, can you check a person's age... or according to fighters, bone age?I want you to test my age for me, please.

"Sapling Makoto, 17 years old."

She watched Komaeda's startled eyes and said slowly.

"It's hard to believe, but this is the conclusion I came to, and I believe my judgment will not be wrong."

This contradicts their memory.

In my impression, Makoto Naegi, who just graduated from junior high school, just celebrated his 15th birthday. After coming to Hope's Peak Academy, how could he suddenly become a 17-year-old when he was imprisoned? ?

How ridiculous, before Miao Mucheng himself didn't realize it, he had already lost two full years of time.

Ogami Sakura still remembered how stunned she was at that time, and also remembered the strange smile with a hint of relief on Naegi Makoto's face.

It looked like he had already guessed.

"hahahahahahahaha--"

Komaeda suddenly laughed.

While laughing, he took a few steps back as if exhausted, leaned back on the chair, raised his hand to cover his eyes, and gradually stopped laughing.

"That's it, Ms. Sapling already knows." I can't tell what kind of mood it is, it's joyful and bitter, and the taste of kneading together is not good at all.

"All freshmen have lost their memories of the past. The question of why Yamada was able to blurt out Celes's real name before he died has finally been answered." Okami Sakura said slowly, "But you are different from everyone else. You came from the outside world. You who came in must still remember the past that was lost by everyone. If you want to defeat the mastermind behind the scenes, this is probably a crucial piece of the puzzle, Komaeda, you will be everyone... you will be the hope of saplings."

wrong.

He countered calmly in his heart.

I don't deserve it at all.

Others don't know, could he be so shameless that he doesn't have any self-awareness?For him, hope is already an untouchable sky and moon. They are originally two parallel and opposite lines. Every minute and every second so far has been forced. After the intersection, it will only go further and further away.

"Student Dashen's words scare me so much. It is an honor for someone like me to become a stepping stone of hope." He smiled and waved his hands as usual, leaned forward, and suddenly lowered his voice, "Actually, I I feel that this predicament doesn’t need to be as complicated as what the Great God student thought, there is not much we need to do, we just need to push the black hands behind the scenes to a desperate situation.”

A vial of poison was placed on the table.

The light-white slender fingers rest on the light brown glass bottle, soft and delicate like a work of art under the ambiguous light.

"As you can see, it's poison."

He took out another thing, a syringe from the health room.

"I know Ogami-san already has a death wish. Before I came, I saw you stuffing an envelope with a suicide note under the door of Asahina-san's room." Komaeda smiled, "Actually, since I came to this place, I I never thought about getting out of here alive. My filthy trash should have died clean, I was just a little greedy and wanted to finally possess Naegi-kun for a while."

He opened the packaging bag of the disposable syringe by hand, and then used it to draw a thin tube of medicine.

Then, he reached out and picked up an ice cube from the ice bucket, and injected the medicine into it.

"It's poisonous ice."

click-

The ice cubes were thrown into an empty glass, and Komaeda grabbed a handful of ordinary ice cubes and put them in, then covered the glass with a black flannel cloth, and shook, shook.

"The rules of the game of cannibalism are nothing more than one person killing another, and then the other students go to search for evidence and choose the most suspicious person among the grade referees." He said softly, with bright spots appearing in his eyes. Fu Guang, "The judgment basis for choosing the person to be executed is based on the premise that the mastermind behind the scenes knows who is the real perpetrator. In this environment full of cameras, it is difficult for the murderer to hide his identity under the surveillance of the mastermind behind the scenes. This is also a question that people usually don't think about when they kill people: how to hide from other students and hide from the mastermind behind the scenes?"

Komaeda casually scooped up a few ice cubes from the cup and threw them into his own cup, and then scooped up a few more and threw them into the black tea in front of Okami Sakura.

"Of course, for many people, it is unnecessary to hide the truth from the mastermind behind the scenes. Because everyone wants to leave here. If even the mastermind behind the scenes doesn't know the murderer, how can we judge his victory? Did he leave?" He laughed.

"You want to destroy the foundation of the school-level referee?" Ogami Sakura asked, "What's the point of doing this? The other party may not admit it. Don't underestimate that person's cunning."

"Heh, it's the master student. You'd better not underestimate the importance that person attaches to the school-level referee. The school-level referee... entrusts you with more than just your life and death." Komaeda said meaningfully, and then put The spoon containing the ice cubes was handed to Ogami Sakura, "It's a very simple treat, it's just ordinary iced black tea, if there are ice cubes I added and ice cubes you added in my cup, it will be the same in your cup , Then, now you might as well guess, who will die next? Is it suicide or homicide? Even if all the actions are completed under the eyes of the black hands behind the scenes, it is a bit difficult to judge."

He picked one out of the ice-filled cup and threw it into his mouth, bit it into pieces with a crackling crack, and then swallowed down his throat.

"Ah, please don't worry, this should not be poisonous." He smiled casually, "I am also a super high school lucky person, and I still have a little bit of self-confidence. Then, please do it next, I'm still looking forward to what's going to happen later, and I hope that the mastermind behind the death can give a fair verdict that will convince everyone. Now, don't you think so?"

The sudden heart palpitations made Makoto Naegi stop running.

Sweat flowed from his forehead to his chin, and he raised his hand to hold his heaving chest. The beating heart in his chest seemed to be about to explode in the next moment, which made people feel flustered uncontrollably.

Just as Kyoko Kiritaki passed by the corridor ahead, he blurted out and stopped her without thinking.

"Wait, wait a minute! Kirikiri-san, did you see Komaeda-senpai?"

The silver-haired girl stopped in her tracks, turned her head to look at him, and then shook her head.

Seedling let out an "hey", almost showing his disappointment on his face.

"Are you really nervous about that person? Have you ever heard a common saying?" Wuqie crossed his arms, looked at the ignorant look of Miaomu and raised his eyebrows, and said word by word, "The more important things are, the easier it is to lose them." .”

I don't know what he thought of, but the boy's body visibly trembled, he looked a little surprised and worried, forced a smile and waved his hands: "Student Wuqie, don't scare me with such ominous words... By the way, Did you find out too?"

"What did you find?" Kyoko Kirikiri's eyes glanced at the surveillance camera at the end of the corridor calmly.

Seeing Makoto noticed her vigilance and couldn't help but pause.

Yes, they can unscrupulously discuss the affairs between classmates under the surveillance camera, and analyze and discuss the cause and effect of the case, but there is only one topic that needs to be avoided, and that is the intelligence about the mastermind behind the scenes.

After the gymnasium the day before, Naegi Makoto tried to summon everyone to the locker room in the most tactful way possible. The information obtained from AlterEgo is worth sharing with his companions, although the data analyzed from the confidential files on the laptop cannot escape them. Direct help here, but at least helped them learn more about Hope's Peak Academy.

In particular, the mysterious case titled "The Biggest and Worst Desperate Event in Human History" and the information about the headmaster himself who presided over the "Hope Peak Shelter" project should become their main decryption in the next exploration direction.

Moreover, these two mysteries are likely to be closely related to their own past...

His thoughts suddenly turned to the heavy side, and Makoto Naogi suddenly rubbed the hair on the back of his head, and then let out a big breath of annoyance.

"Let's not mention this for now. I haven't seen Senior Komaeda all afternoon, so I'm a little worried about him."

"It's just an afternoon." Wuche was speechless.

"But we've never been apart for a day since we first met!" Makoto Naomu was slightly irritated by her attitude, and muttered angrily.

"Not even a day? Are you a symbiotic creature that will die without each other?" She was incredulous.

"Uh, of course not... In fact, there should or may have been a separation, but I probably don't remember." After all, Naegi is not a person who can show affection in front of a girl very frankly, he said with some embarrassment.

"..."

Wuqie stared at Miaomu silently for a long time, then twitched the corners of his mouth.

"I should say that it's good that you are not the kind of love idiot who can remember the anniversary of the meeting and the anniversary of the confession clearly? It really refreshed my impression of you a little bit, Sapling-kun."

"..." Seedling, who wanted to say that he did remember, choked for a moment. In his impression, it really happened not too long ago, so it's strange that he couldn't remember.

Speaking of which, in his impression, it was indeed just a short time ago...

"Kirikiri-san, from what you usually see, can you guess how long I have known Komaeda-senpai?"

"Why should I answer such a boring question?" The other party raised his eyebrows, and his condescending gaze was extremely intimidating.

Oops, asked a stupid question!Now, student Wuqiri's impression of me will definitely be more...

"I'm sorry! I offended!" He waved his hands profusely.

With a very helpless and speechless mood, Wuqie turned his head and walked away... After two steps, the corner of the hem of his clothes was carefully grabbed by two fingers.Looking back, it was still the pitiful face of that boy who wanted to cry but had no tears.

"Please, Kirikiri-san! Help me. I'm afraid that I will be unlucky enough to miss Komaeda-senpai. This kind of thing is really very likely to happen..."

Are you really lucky to be selected super high school class?Wukiri stared expressionlessly into his pleading eyes, and a small red cross appeared above his head.

"Hi. I'm so sorry to meet Kirikiri with such an embarrassing and disrespectful attitude."

It didn't take much time for Kiritaki to find Komaeda Nagito, and within about 15 minutes of splitting up with Makoto Naegi, she found the guy whose hands and feet were bound in a classroom.

Thinking about the search plan made with Miaomu, because he has searched all the first and second floors of the dormitory area and the teaching area, and only the third and fourth floors are left to search. Miaomu is responsible for the third floor, and Mistcut is responsible for the fourth floor. Even though he had taken over the entire school building, she was the first to find the target person. It can indeed be said that he was extremely unlucky.

"Why were you tied up?"

The boots made a crisp sound when they stepped on the ground, but Kirikiri, who walked into the classroom slowly, ignored Komaeda's somewhat innocent gaze, and stood still in front of this pitiful white-haired boy who could only lie on the ground and couldn't move. , and even crossed his arms and cast a scrutinizing gaze.

"Oh, Mr. Wuqie is really too much." The other party smiled softly, "It's not about who tied me up, but why I was tied up. The emotional bias is too obvious, right? ? Where did I offend you?"

"It's just that compared with other people, your reputation is on the verge of bankruptcy." Wuqie stated without emotion, "Your mouth is not sealed with tape. Since you are tied up by someone, why don't you call for help? Not here. In the dormitory room, the sound insulation effect is average, if you shout loudly, the sound can even be transmitted to the first floor, and someone will come to rescue you soon."

"I can indeed call for help." Komaeda blinked, and the corners of his lips curled slightly, "But, if I make such a big noise, won't it lead everyone here?"

Kirikiri frowned subconsciously.

This guy...every time something happens, he will suddenly react like a madman, just like some kind of sensitive detector.

"What did you find—" Wuqie's words were halfway through, and she changed her words cautiously, "No, what did you participate in?"

Komaeda didn't answer, the silence lasted for a while, and suddenly he laughed softly.

"Hahahaha, you actually said that I participated in something—it's an honor, student Wuqie really thinks too highly of me."

His body was trembling, and his messy hair covered his eyebrows and eyes, only the exaggerated upward curve of the corners of this man's lips could be seen.

"Ah—a fool with no talent like me, it's really unbelievable that he participated in something." As if he was suppressing some emotions, his voice trembled unconsciously, and he couldn't bear it. The tone of speech was slightly distorted.

Kyoko Kirikiri frowned.

"The things I really want to do are messed up as expected, there is no way, I'm just this kind of mediocre scum who can't do anything." Turning the angle of view, Komaeda stared at the empty eyes without focus. Xu Yu, "But, it doesn't matter, the ending I want will definitely come true in another form - from the mercy of the goddess of luck, this is indeed the most suitable talent for trash like me."

"You are not the only one with lucky talents." Wukiri raised his eyebrows, "I didn't expect you to have such thoughts about your own talents? Do you think the same about Miao Mu-kun?"

"how is this possible."

Komaeda snorted lightly without thinking.

"Even though we have the same talents, Naegi-kun and I are completely opposite poles. He is the sun that brings light and hope to everyone, and I am just an unpleasant shadow that can only bring— —”

He stopped abruptly in the middle of the conversation, he was startled for a moment, and closed his mouth very abruptly.

"Bring what?" Wuqie asked.

"...Kirikiri-san is really aggressive, insisting on asking people to tell you what you don't want to say." Komaeda lowered his eyes and said slowly, "I think luck is a very fair zero-sum game. When one person has too much luck, it means that another person's luck is taken away. The so-called luck is an invisible plunder... So, now comes the problem, do you think that as a super high school-level lucky What can I bring to others?"

Unfortunately...?The answer came to mind unconsciously.Wukiri blinked slowly, staring at the white-haired boy on the ground.

Perhaps it was some kind of very special intuition, she felt that this was not the real answer he thought.

"It will happen soon." Komaeda did not answer his own question, but took a deep breath and laughed again, "The next actions of the person who tied me up, and the occurrence of new events... ...I believe that with Sapling-kun's good luck, he will definitely be the first to find out."

As if to fulfill his prophecy, before Wuqie could ask, he heard a loud scream coming from upstairs, it was the voice of Miaomu.

The red blood stains were branded on the retina, and heat surged into the eye sockets in an instant.

I don't know when it started, facing the death of my companion, the emotion of sadness became more dominant than the fear.Before he realized it rationally, the emptiness and regret that seemed to have lost something important had already affected his chest, and suddenly even his internal organs began to ache.

Sapling closed his eyes for the first time, not because he was escaping from the fact of his friend's death, nor because he was afraid of the corpse, he just needed a short moment of space to calm himself down, took a deep breath, and turned his back Aoi Asahina fell into a daze by her side.

"Asahina-san, are you okay?" He asked with concern.

"...Ah, um, I'm fine..."

The girl looked a little dazed, she raised her eyelashes and glanced at Sapling, her empty blue eyes were filled with mist.

"Sakura...Sakura, she..."

Helplessly looking at Miaomu, he carefully supported her, his gray-green eyes were filled with the same sadness and sadness as hers, but they were still warm and full of strength... Asahina suddenly waved away Miaomu's hand, turned around Run out of the room.

"I'm going to tell the others about this!"

As if she was escaping from something, her figure disappeared from Sapling's sight in an instant.

"..."

The seedling who was pushed away took a step back with some unsteady center of gravity, and almost bumped into the cabinet behind him. He snorted, supported the side to stand firm, and looked at Ogami Sakura who was sitting in the armchair in the middle of the room.

To sort out his thoughts, he had previously met Asahina who was anxiously knocking on the door in the corridor of the corridor. She saw herself on the way to find Komaeda and asked him for help.

From behind the glass of the door and window of the entertainment room, you can see Ogami Sakura who is sitting in an armchair. The other party is motionless with her head down, and she doesn't respond to their calls and knocking on the door. She can't see it clearly from a long distance, but it is faintly visible. Her long silver hair was the color of bloodstains.

Naegi moved the chair in the next classroom and knocked on the glass forcibly, and opened the door after touching the locked buckle inside, and now, Asahina broke down and went out to find someone, and he was left where he was.

There is still one discoverer before the dead body discovery broadcast can be heard... In the middle of the train of thought, Sapling suddenly froze for a moment, and hurriedly rushed to Ogami Sakura, and carefully compared his palms in front of the other party.

"I can't... I'm not breathing at all..."

Seedling sighed deeply.

The murder case in a secret room with a completely enclosed space, and the prisoner who was able to kill the classmate of the god who is known as the strongest human being on the surface of the earth, seems to be another premeditated... Halfway through the thought, he froze for a moment, looked at himself, and then looked again In the silent entertainment room, his eyes widened in horror, and he suddenly took a breath of cold air.

Too bad——now that the corpse discovery broadcast was not broadcast, he was left alone by Asahina-san before confirming that Ogami-san was really dead!

"...In the final analysis, whether Sakura was murdered in the secret room has not been concluded at all, has it?"

Asahina's angry voice echoed in the referee field.

"Even if it's useless to defend Ye Yin and Fu Chuan, Miao Mu, you just want to divert our attention?"

"..." Sure enough, it came.

The clues to Okami Sakura's death came from the entertainment room where she was located. After investigation by him and Kirikiri and others who rushed to the scene later, it can be preliminarily determined that the people who visited the scene included Komaeda, Fukawa, Ye Yin and the last person who found Seedlings and Asahina at the scene.

There are many suspects. Komaeda, who arrived at the scene first, was suspected of being tied up by Ogami Sakura himself and thrown to the classroom on the first floor. The possibility of direct murder at the scene can basically be ruled out.Fu Chuan and Ye Yin, who visited successively afterward, were each wary of the Great God Sakura, and had beaten her with glass bottles one after another. Fu Chuan, who knew it well, chose to clean up the evidence at the scene. She did not do it thoroughly, so both of their actions were seen through by Wu Qie.

Finally, there was the issue of the great god who had been beaten by Fu Chuan moving from the corner of the room to the armchair.The real cause of her death was detected as poisoning, and the poison bottle in the chemistry classroom was tampered with twice, and the lethal toxicity was also detected in the melting ice water in the entertainment room.

Those who have the chance to poison... from Komaeda who visited at the earliest, to him who stood by the dead body at the end, they are all suspects.

Naegi was a little frustrated, he stared silently at Asahina who accused him.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Asahina seemed to be stung by his overly frank gaze, she shifted her gaze, and raised her voice emphatically: "While I was looking for other people, Naegi-san stayed alone in the entertainment Room...the Monokuma file does not record the time of Sakura's death, and based on previous experience, the hidden clues are definitely closely related to the murderer's modus operandi! Naegi, you may also be the murderer who killed Sakura!"

"That's right, Sapling-san found the troll who happened to be in a weak state due to the attack by me and Fuchuan-san, and Asahina-san ran out to find someone again. The time and place are favorable, and it is entirely possible for you to follow the trend and then send The responsibility lies on us!" Ye Yin suddenly realized.

"Then why did Sapling-kun defend Ye Yin-kun before?" Komaeda asked with a smile, "He can completely let you be suspected by everyone, and then Ye Yin-kun will pay the price for his stupidity and ignorance and be punished by the black and white bear."

"I was wrong, please don't say such hurtful things with a harmless expression..." Ye Yin sweated profusely.

"Heh, heh heh... She really did not spare any effort to protect her..." Fu Chuan lowered his head and tugged at her braids, "Komaeda, you actually don't even know whether Naegi killed the great god, right? Kirikiri said At that time, she was in the downstairs classroom with your hands and feet tied up. In the end...you were just afraid of being implicated, and if Naegi was voted to execute you, you would also be executed..."

"Komaeda Nagito...don't even try to stay out of it." Asahina wiped her tears with her hand, gritted her teeth and said bitterly, "I know... Xiao Sakura first made an appointment with you to talk in the entertainment room, although later Ye Yin and the others saw a living Sakura after you, and you were found trapped in the classroom on the first floor by Kirikiri, but don't forget that the cause of Sakura's death this time was poisoned, that is to say, You can't get rid of suspicion!"

"Ah, everyone looks suspicious now." Ye Yin was surprised.

"Tch, I said a long time ago that I want to keep a distance from that guy, the Great God." Shishen pushed his glasses impatiently, "People who have been involved with the mastermind behind the scenes - they will definitely get into trouble if they approach without authorization, you see That's what you are now."

"What did you say?!" Asahina glared at him angrily, "Sakura is so considerate of everyone! She is such a gentle person—you all betrayed her! I will never forgive you!"

Shishen snorted and turned his head: "You can do whatever you want with love."

"Hmm..." The black and white bear sitting in the referee's seat covered his mouth with his hands, and smiled very gloatingly, "It's good, it's good, that's what it feels like. Anger, sadness, disappointment, hatred, doubt, suspicion , All kinds of wonderful emotions are sprouting in your hearts, hurry up! Let's make the atmosphere even more heated!"

For a moment, Naegi wanted to refute immediately.

People always subconsciously rely on the closest person, subconsciously, his eyes turned to the direction of Komaeda.The white-haired boy was also looking at him—Naegi suddenly realized that it seemed like this every time he cast his eyes on him in the school-level referee, Komaeda was always looking at him, his expression was focused, and tenderness overflowed the moment his eyes met smile.

He is aware of his own struggle and pain, he believes in everything about himself, and the seedlings are always comforted and calmed down like this silently.

This discovery made his heart tremble slightly, and a kind of inconspicuous pain surged out, like a drop of the purest blood at the tip of his heart.

...It's really not obvious. If he hadn't noticed this, he might not even be ignorant of the sudden change in his mood at the moment.He has always been deeply doted on by Komaeda-senpai, the most unacceptable thing for saplings is that he has forgotten this.

What kind of mood did Komaeda-senpai sneak into this purgatory prison?

He obviously didn't use it, put himself in danger, and might even lose his life because of his carelessness or selfish desire.You trust me so much, what should I use to respond to your expectations?

If it's just your own life, you won't feel anything, but if it's two people together, it becomes a responsibility that absolutely does not allow failure.

...If everyone knows that they are classmates who have known each other for two years, will they feel painful because of the tit-for-tat at this moment?

No, no, you can't think like that.Don't be overwhelmed by depressing thoughts.Because of this, he must help everyone unite, and only by working together can there be any hope of defeating the enemy.

The fingers curled up, then clenched into fists.

"Asahina-san, you are wrong."

Even though his voice was dry, he still had to make a sound.

"Actually, there is another possibility for the case of the student Dashen."

As long as there was a glimmer of hope, he would grab that hope.
