[Danwanron Hakomae] Hope synaesthesia

Perhaps this is fate.

The tide is rising and the wind is blowing, the clouds are drifting from the end of the field of vision, and the sun is slowly rising from one end of the horizon.The distant and misty mist on the sea slowly dissipated, and Makoto Naegi saw the hair on the side of Komaeda Nagito's face being blown into the air, his eyes were clear and bright, and his smile was extremely pure under the skylight.

I can still clearly remember that Komaeda's lips once fell gently between his eyebrows and eyes, lingering at the corners of his lips.

He touched his forehead and whispered, you are hope.

The spoken words have passed through the eternal time, and the longer they are, the newer they become.There was a gentle but invisible force brushing across the heart lake, and then there were continuous ripples on the water surface.Seedling was stunned for a moment before waking up from the short-term shock and embarrassment, bent his eyebrows and smiled slightly.

"Okay, then I look forward to your answer."

Perhaps the reason why the night is long is that they are all praying for the arrival of dawn.

The sky soon became bright after sunrise, and the sunlight penetrated the light morning fog on the road, interweaving into golden beams in the field of vision.The sound of the waves spread from the sea to the garden on the island far away, and the flowers on the wooden railing of the balcony were blooming in clusters, colorful and crowded together.

Hanamura, who gets up early, has been busy preparing the morning food on the second floor of the hotel. The chef pursues the spirit of dedication and dedication, and concentrates on making his secret exclusive sauce. Only then did he notice that someone woke up as early as he did, and he turned his head with some surprise.

Beautiful and elegant fingers rest lightly on the handrail of the stairs, a pure white shirt, and a low-key threaded cuff button on the black cuff.

Looking up again, there is a slender neck and a beautifully curved jaw. The complexion is fair, the lines are clean and delicate, a pair of bright green eyes are as warm as emerald jade, the short light brown hair is slightly messy, and there is still some moisture on the edge of the wet hair.

"Oh, who am I supposed to be, it turned out to be seedlings."

In front of him was the boy who gave people the first impression of "good temper" when he first met him. Hanamura's tone was slightly raised, and he subconsciously laughed lightly.

"Did you sleep well last night? I didn't expect you to be the one who got up from the bed first. Could it be that Hinata-san failed my imagination, but the soft-looking sapling is the real one—"

Who looks soft and deceitful?Just as the black thread was hanging on his forehead, Hanamura stopped talking abruptly.

The figure behind him was a step behind before covering the sapling, Komaeda's footsteps were soft and silent, and he appeared from the corner in the blink of an eye and walked to the side of the brown-haired boy, facing Hanamura's staring straight eyes, he took a short look. Suddenly, he turned his head with a smile as if he was a little puzzled: "Huh?"

"...Huh?" How could it be the combination of these two people?

He was puzzled.

The aroma of food quickly attracted the attention of seedlings.

"Wow, it smells so good, it's grilled fish!" His eyes sparkled, "It smells so nostalgic."

"Hmph, get intoxicated." Hanamura lifted the hair on his forehead with an extremely coquettish movement, and raised the corners of his lips, "This is the grilled fish baked by Chef Hanamura with special spices."

"Well, as expected of a super high school chef." Komaeda praised with a smile.

"Of course." Hanamura couldn't hide the pride on his face, and immediately emphasized to Miaomu with a serious face, "This is my exclusive secret recipe, and it is impossible for others to imitate the same delicacy. Confused with those ordinary mundane dishes."

It was because of this that he felt nostalgic.

Naegi blinked and smiled happily without explaining anything.

"I see, Hanamura-kun is so powerful."

The other party looked at Miao Mu, as if observing whether he was sincere, and then smiled a little embarrassedly: "Hey, Miao Mu, you are also very discerning."

Before I knew it, it was seven o'clock, and the regular broadcast of Monokuma was broadcast on time.

No matter where, even if it is an area that has not yet been opened, as long as the black and white bear appears at the same time as the place where the display screen is installed, it is simply ironic. The key prop of the game, Monokuma's hearty voice, seems to contain some malicious thoughts, full of unpleasant expectations.

The smile on the lips of the brown-haired boy slightly retracted. He is not a person who is too good at hiding his emotions. For a moment, Komaeda could see the worry that had not faded from his eyes. He put one hand on the side of his face, calmly smiled.

After the broadcast, more people woke up one after another. After Hanamura, Naegi, and Komaeda, the next person who came to the restaurant was Nanami Chiaki. She didn't seem to expect that the first thing she saw would be such an incongruous They blinked their eyes very slowly, tilted their heads, and stared at them for a while in a strange way.

"Good morning, Miss Nanami." Seedling greeted the girl with short pink hair first, and smiled.

"Good morning, Miaomu-kun." Qihai nodded slightly, and after greeting each other with the other two, she took a relatively small grilled fish in her mouth, turned around silently like a wandering soul, and walked back from the original path downstairs.

Naegi remembered that there were a lot of games and a complete set of host equipment stored on the first floor. Hinata also said that when he first explored the island, he found her concentrating on playing games on the first floor of the hotel. It seems that she was very popular there.

Originally, there were not too many girls in his social circle who would be so dedicated to games, and those who could reach the level of super high school level should be considered rare.Judging from Qihai's stable face, and purely from the nature of game geeks, she is probably the least vulnerable person in this environment where the black and white bears threaten to kill each other.

Not long after, Sonia in an elegant long dress and Tokami White Night in a white dress appeared. The clothes of the two were so exquisite that they seemed ready to go to a grand banquet at any time. What, the corner of the mouth suddenly twitched violently, but the others—including the amorous chef whose eyes lit up when he saw the princess of Yiyi—were all attracted by the majestic and powerful instructions of the noble son, but luckily they didn’t notice His anomaly.

"Hurry up and wake everyone else up." He ordered shortly, "Everyone gather in the restaurant. I have made a major discovery that concerns everyone's life."

Ten minutes later, everyone gathered on the second floor of the hotel in bewilderment, including Satoshida and Kazuchi, who was still immersed in the fear of being threatened by the black and white bear, and tried to escape. There was no sympathy for him.The Ten Gods who summoned everyone had to wait a long time. Seeing the uneasiness, indifference, fear, irritability or worry hidden in the eyes of the students, they turned around and said lightly:

"All of you follow me. I'll talk about my findings in Jabba Walker Park on Central Island. It should be easier to understand in an intuitive scene."

When no one had a backbone, his arbitrarily domineering approach was not opposed by too many people, including when he was the team leader who claimed to be everyone.

Perhaps this is the strength of this senior.Sapling couldn't help thinking to himself.

The so-called super high school-level fraudster, when a person can perfectly imitate another person's personality and acting skills, it means that he himself is likely to have excellent abilities that surpass it.Maybe it has something to do with other people's personalities, but the real ten gods who are also freshmen can't achieve the commanding power to knead other equally rebellious super high school freshmen into a group shortly after they first met , even if it is only a temporary superficial unity.

In any case, any activity involving a group is always different from the procrastination and delay that is different from individual actions alone. By the time the large group reaches the central island, it is already three poles high in the sun, and the canopy of the trees in the park casts a huge shadow and dappled broken light Wandering among the shadows of the trees, the green leaves are blown away in the air by the slight hot wind, and people's hearts become more and more impetuous.

"What... what?! There was obviously no such thing last night, right?"

"Is it the black and white bear's trick again?"

Standing behind the astonished crowd, Naegi raised his head and looked towards the courtyard, narrowing his eyes slowly.

It was supposed to be the place where magnificent animal sculptures were placed, but now there is a weird clock-shaped sphere machine, not to mention the suspicious appearance no matter how you look at it, just say that the one in the center of the machine seems to be emphasizing something The countdown to the next day made everyone who had encountered a bizarre threat the night before involuntarily think of some dangerous hints.

"Hey... isn't that a ticking time bomb?" Hinata's mouth twitched.

"It looks very similar hahaha... Hey, if we don't follow the instructions of that guy Monokuma, this thing will blow up with a bang?" Zuo Tian was suddenly sweating profusely.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Koizumi scolded angrily, "Don't scare yourself! This kind of thing, such an outrageous thing... how is it possible..."

Before she finished speaking, she couldn't help holding her forehead in distress, and a wavering expression gradually appeared on her face.

"This is the modification I discovered this morning. It turned into this weird appearance just overnight." Shishen spoke slowly, as if to leave room for everyone to think, "This island is everywhere. It's all a mystery, we don't know how we got here, or why these events happened, everything seems to be secretly manipulated by some huge and terrifying mysterious force. I have heard of Jabba Walker The good name of the island is supposed to be a world-renowned resort, but now there are no people, no tourists, and no local citizens... Of course, in addition to this, I have a more powerful evidence .”

He stared at the bewildered faces of the crowd.

"Whether it is the monochrome bear, monochrome beast, or Tumei, they are all intelligent machines that require high-end technology and a lot of financial support to complete."

"You mean...an organization is secretly manipulating?" Nine-headed Dragon frowned.

"Heh, who knows? Maybe it will be a bigger force than the combination of the ten gods consortium, the nine-headed dragon group and Sonia's country." Ten gods laughed, and suddenly looked at the seedlings behind the crowd, "the seedlings ,What do you think?"

If you talk to me at a time like this, is it a doubt or a test?

The brown-haired boy scratched his cheek in embarrassment, looking a little embarrassed under the gaze of everyone.

"Uh... If you want to talk about your thoughts, I don't have anything to say at the moment. I also fell here for no reason." Seedling smiled slightly and said, after thinking about it, he looked back at the other party calmly, "However, I think, we It is absolutely not allowed to go in the direction induced by Monokuma, as long as its plot cannot be achieved, sooner or later the mastermind behind Monokuma will be cornered."

"...That's a good answer." He stared at him for a while, then said softly, "I'll let you, Naegi, be one of my temporary team members."

Is it still temporary?Seedling sweated profusely.

Naegi said that he has the authority of the role of observer, but in many respects he is not much worse than his predecessors. After the meeting was over, he walked around the central island alone, and found that he was standing guard in front of the bridges The black and white beasts are helpless.

What is the reason for the black and white bears to invade this world?Is it the consciousness of the despair that the predecessors have not covered completely?Or is it the result of the hidden loopholes in the program being attacked by the outside world?If Ms. Wuqie and the others' actions are not unexpected, they should have started to investigate and rescue the system by now.

Hope everything works out in time.He closed his eyes.

"Sapling-kun, please don't worry!" The pink rabbit doll who appeared out of nowhere raised his hands, "He is already working hard to fight against the black and white beasts, although it is very slow, but he is indeed making progress. I believe he will definitely Let everyone spend this school trip with hope.”

"Thank you, Teacher Tumei."

Although Naegi still had some lingering uneasiness in his heart, he believed that everyone's mood had the upper hand. Besides, he seemed to be unable to do anything at the moment, so he smiled after thinking about it for a while, and put the electronic manual in his pocket. His steps immediately became brisk.

"Eh? Naegi-kun, where are you going?"

"Go to Komaeda-senpai!"

"..."

The strategy is really positive.

Looking at the back of the seedling, Pink Rabbit couldn't help but think so.

"Hey, I seem to understand your feelings gradually... I understand the reason why you have always chosen to chase me."

As the dream was about to end, he gradually woke up.

"But, have you ever thought about it? Maybe I can't coincide with your ideal phantom."

Accompanied by the residual illusory pain from the nerve endings, he instinctively increased the strength of the restraint. For a while, he seemed to have already fallen into the maze of demons, but he was so calm and rational that he knew that he would never be able to show his true self. Coming out frightened the long-awaited prey, so he gently pulled his lips into a smile, and answered with a casual smile:

"You are my ideal, I am sure of that."

Three points of deliberate seduction, three points of predatory instinct, three points of sincere admiration, and one point of humble and weak anxiety.

Because, what you look like is what his ideal looks like.

The breeze and morning light in the sky and the earth are like quicksand in the palm of an insignificant mortal.

But he just doesn't want to lose.

Nagito Komaeda's eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he opened his eyes, the dark green pupils looking at the sky lost focus for a moment.

In the distant sky, the gentle setting sun has already been seen, and the evening wind blows the hair on his sideburns. He stares at the sky, not knowing where he is in a daze.

The heartbeat is slightly out of order, even though he has woken up, there is still a feeling of palpitations lingering in his heart, as if something extremely important is about to be lost, making him uncontrollably flustered.

What makes him obsessed more than not being able to get it is that after getting it, he will face losing it, but he can't let it go.

Love me, hug me, remember me, the difference between ideas is nothing, the gap between life and death is not a big deal, as long as I leave enough unforgettable marks in your heart, so that you will never forget it for the rest of your life, and you can completely get You, it doesn't matter even if you use any means.

For a moment, he thought he was going crazy.

"Hey, are you alright, your complexion is very bad... Komaeda-kun, are you awake?"

Komaeda trembled slightly in surprise at the unexpected voice, and reflexively looked at the boy beside him.

"Puchi, sorry, did I scare you?"

"...No, it's okay."

"Then why are you looking at me like that?"

Komaeda couldn't say it himself, he stared at the smiling handsome face of the brown-haired boy, his tongue slowly licked the tip of the canine teeth, and his disordered and restless mood gradually settled down for no reason.

It is an inexplicable satisfaction.

No one knew that Komaeda often had a feeling of empty loneliness.While other people panicked and searched for a way out because they knew that they were trapped here and were forced to fight, he chose to sit alone on the hillside of the pasture, enjoying the evening breeze and sunset light comfortably, even without any precautions. Fell asleep.

On the surface, it seems a bit drifting, a subtle state of mind between negative and positive.

In fact, he has some sinful psychology that is not easy for people to know. At this time, he actually feels a little sincerely happy and looking forward to the current situation, and Komaeda has understood what he is looking forward to a long time ago——

At this moment, he was looking at the seedlings, those green eyes were extraordinarily warm and soft in the warm sunlight, with a light stone blue color, bright and clear, staring at him intently.

Komaeda was stunned for a moment, feeling absurdly unreal that the treasure hunt had ended before it even started.

"Yesterday, Komaeda-kun didn't go to bed very late. When I found you just now, I slept so deeply..."

With the warmth of his palms on his cheeks, Miao Mu sat up half-kneeling, leaning forward, almost in a defenseless posture about throwing himself into his arms, and gently stroked his side cheeks with his fingers.

"Your health should not be very good all the time, how can you not pay attention to your body?"

Noticing that he was still in a daze, Miaomu frowned slightly, looking worried.

"It seems a little hot, do you have a cold?"

Komaeda regained consciousness and grabbed his wrist suddenly.

"I'm fine!" After he finished speaking, he paused, drooping his eyelashes uncomfortably, "I just woke up, and I'm not feeling well."

Did Komaeda-senpai try to be brave again in order not to worry me?

Miao Mu still didn't believe it, tilted his head, and suddenly noticed the slight blush on the cheeks of the white-haired boy, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized something, a faint smile appeared in his eyes .

"Okay, I see." He said gently, "Komaeda-kun slept all afternoon, so he must be hungry too? Let's go back together, everyone in the hotel should be waiting."

He is obviously just a person whose identity is still a mystery, why does he seem to be more, more——

Komaeda was in a strange mood for a moment, and various speculations flashed in his mind. Maybe he is the mastermind behind this cannibalism game, maybe he is the existence with more talent than others, maybe he... Anyway, it remains to be seen.However, he walked casually, and while he was serious and contemplating, his body was obediently pulled up by the seedlings, and he walked down the hillside slowly with the boy.

Into the night, hotel.

Hinata, who was eating in the restaurant, raised his eyes inadvertently, and saw Komaeda and Naegi going upstairs together, and the two were chatting in a good atmosphere.

I noticed before that the saplings seem to have a good impression of Komaeda, but Komaeda seems to be a little lacking in interest... I didn't expect that the relationship would change after a day?

He raised his eyebrows unobtrusively, a little curious, but more happy.

In other words, Naegi has a very good temper, just the kind of cheerful personality that can get along well with anyone.As for Komaeda, although he seems a bit unreliable in his casualness, he is also gentle and easy to get along with.How could such two people not get along?

At that time, Hyuga-san, who didn't have a clear understanding of the latter's nature, had a very naive and straightforward thinking circuit, but he came to the correct conclusion in a crooked way.

"Naegi-kun really likes Komaeda-kun."

Chiaki Nanami, who was sitting beside him, seemed to have heard Hinata's mental activity as well, picked up a chopstick of rice and stuffed it into his mouth to chew, and teased in a low voice with a smile on his face.

"Huh? Did you see that too?" Hinata was a little surprised.

"Ah——really." Qihai puffed up her face, "My observation skills are also very keen. Hinata-kun, don't think of others too slowly, okay?"

"Ahem, sorry!...No, that, I didn't think so at all!" He couldn't help but choked.

At first it seemed a bit indifferent, but after getting along with him for a while, I realized that Hinata-kun is a person who cares about other people's thoughts, unexpectedly quite gentle.

Thinking of this, Qihai looked at him with a smile on her cheeks, and soft waves danced in the depths of her Qian-colored eyes.

The leisurely and comfortable time is always short, probably because the existence behind the scenes deliberately did not want them to relax gradually. First, they greeted each other the night before, and then Shishen discovered the strange device in Central Park in the morning. After a day, the black and white bear A convening order was issued by broadcasting throughout the island.

No one wants to be the target of Black and White Beast, so whether it is those who have returned to the dormitory after eating early, or those who are still wandering outside, as well as Hinata and others who have just finished eating, they have to reluctantly obey the order and do nothing. Another explosive news was told by Black and White Bear in the following rally:

——The freshmen of the 77th batch of Hope Peak who are here today are not actually freshmen, but have been deprived of all the past from the time they entered the school to the time they came to this island. Because of the incomplete memory, they mistakenly think that they are freshmen That's all.

Komaeda Nagi's eyelids twitched, almost instinctively, he glanced reflexively at the sapling who was habitually standing in the corner.

Lost years of memory, is it true?

Komaeda had a panoramic view of the changes in his expression, and after a short period of doubt, he changed the question into an affirmative sentence in his heart.

So, what is the purpose of Monokuma telling them this secret?

From the moment he walked into Hope's Peak Academy to the time he came to this island, he was convinced that he had indeed lost a piece of memory, not to mention anything else, but that the place he was in had undergone earth-shaking changes in everyone's unconsciousness. Can guess it.But there is still a distance between guessing and telling, and there is a difference in how much amnesia is lost.

If he only relies on himself, it will be difficult for him to realize how long he has lost his memory without using any external force.The reactions of those around him, as well as the new and inaccessible environment, will interfere with his judgment.

The key to the new information provided by Monokuma lies in the key word "many years".

how old is itCould it be that he has graduated from Hope Peak?Judging only from my own physical condition, the time should not be too long, and it is very possible that I am still studying at school.

What is the significance of this information?

Looking back at the cause, although it is not sure whether Monokuma is joking, but if he is serious about urging everyone to kill each other, the information of time should at least have a urging effect on one of them.It can arouse that person's anxiety and killing intent, or it may cause someone to reveal some secrets that no one wants to know...

I don't know what Komaeda is already guessing, but sapling quietly stands there, looking up at Monokuma, just as Monokuma lowers his head maliciously and patrols the audience.Their gazes met, and Black and White Bear had a smug and insolent smile on his face. He tightened his jaw, and his face was extremely ugly for a moment, but he didn't refute.

The reason for not making a sound is because they know each other's identities, and both parties have a hole card that is not known to the other party at the same time, so it is difficult to speak rashly.Also because this is the truth, he is only afraid that the verbal dispute will inadvertently expose more truths that should not be told to the seniors.

The black and white bear laughed with his mouth "捂", and this step was just on the bottom line of the seedlings to tolerate the seedlings. In addition, his purpose has not been achieved, and it will definitely tolerate at this time.Otherwise, if you overdo it all at once, the chess player at the other end will lift the chessboard to force everything to end——

So how to do it well?It turns its brains.Unless there is some cute sapling-kun who is restrained and hard to choose.

His gaze was fixed on the white-haired boy who was staring intently at the sapling.

Oh, it's so good, the feeling is so good.It couldn't help laughing.

The dignified atmosphere in the world lasted until they returned to the hotel.When the night moon and stars were thin, Nagito Komaeda was sitting in front of the window, looking out with his face propped up sideways, a gust of cold wind blew through the half-opened casement.He closed his eyes, as if the boundary between reality and fantasy was blurred by ambiguous thoughts, he was a little restless for a while.

What's the matter?

Maybe it was the sequelae of insomnia and going out to relax last night. I felt drowsy during the day, but was too awake at night. The reversal of the biological clock made Komaeda feel a little helpless. After sitting for a while, when he opened his eyes again, his eyes showed a bit of cold indifference .

He went out quietly, just as he was walking to the door of Hyuga's dormitory, he heard the conversation between the two inside through the door.

"Hinata-kun...you have tossed and turned several times, are you still unable to sleep?"

"Uh, sorry, I'm a little anxious...sorry."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Hey... What do you think we should do, Naegi? Are we going to be imprisoned forever on this island where we can't get out? Damn it, I don't want to give in to that guy, Monokuma, I will never accept killing my companions Yes, but if someone betrays... Hey, did you fall asleep so soon?" Laughed.

"...I haven't fallen asleep yet. However, I agree with Hinata-kun's persistence."

"Actually, it's useless to agree..."

"No. I believe that as long as everyone works together, we will be able to defeat Monokuma and the man behind the scenes. Well, maybe all problems will be solved by then..."

"How should I put it, you are so optimistic."

"Haha. I know, in fact, no matter whether you are holding optimistic or pessimistic thoughts, it is not very useful now. So is Hinata-kun not sleepy?"

"Sleepy is sleepy, but..."

"Then let's rest quickly." Seedling's voice was a little smiley, "Replenish your energy and maintain your vitality to resist the black and white bear's conspiracy. to a dead end."

"...Why do you feel that you just want to persuade me to go to bed early by saying so much reason?"

"Because, I think no matter how worried Hinata-kun is now, the status quo will not change..."

"Although that's true..."

"So, how about taking it easy?"

"...Okay, I've convinced you."

Komaeda leaned against the door, looked up at the clean night sky, the moonlight shone on his face, it seemed that the handsome and fair face of the young man was somewhat frosty, and his thin and beautiful lips were pursed into a straight line.

After a long time, he chuckled silently, with a slight dissatisfaction in his eyes.

There is something that has been accumulated in his heart, which has been oppressing his nerves, making him toss and turn day and night. The mood has gradually emerged since the meeting, and the desire and longing for the sense of existence are crazily clamoring instinctively, and it becomes more and more irresistible.

My heart is like a beast that has been released from its cage, ready to move.

This is not good, hey, Naegi-kun, this is not good.

His eyes were slightly dark, and the tip of his tongue pressed against his teeth, whispering in his heart.

You are obviously...

You are clearly—

……what is it then?Komaeda suddenly came back to his senses, a blank look appeared in his eyes, the anger that had been accumulated for a moment was like a leaky balloon, and suddenly lost its momentum.

After a long silence, he walked away in silence.

The next morning.

I don't know what stimulated the ten gods who were the team leader, and announced early in the morning that they would hold an all-night party that night.The powerful aura of your son made the students speechless for a while, so they had to follow the willful and picky whim of the eldest young master, assign the division of labor to each staff, prepare the necessary supplies for the banquet, and find a closed place that is not easy to be interfered by the black and white bear.

When choosing the location, because the restaurant of the hotel is designed in an open style, everyone encountered difficulties for a while.

Seedling had seen the panorama of Nejaba Walker Island's modeling in the New World program. His eyes moved slightly, but he didn't know how to make a reasonable proposal.While hesitating, Tumei just appeared at the right time and offered everyone the venue of the old hall.

"Although the structure meets the requirements of the ten gods, the old building has just been repaired, and the inside is still very dirty. Someone needs to clean it first." Tumei said.

"Clean up... don't..."

"I don't want to do it..."

The students looked at each other, and no one was willing to be a cleaner who was doomed to be disgraced.

If the students of the 78th class are here, it is likely that the good-tempered and unrejecting sapling will take over the drudgery in the end. What's more, even if the seniors of the 77th class don't know it yet, at least he knows that as a junior, he should Something to do.So Naegi blinked lightly, and was about to take the initiative to ask for a job, but Komaeda opened her mouth first.

"In this case, let's draw lots at random, shall we?"

He smiled and took out a pair of chopsticks, one of which was red at the end. He held all the ends of the chopsticks and motioned for everyone to see.

"When assigning tasks before, I thought that there might be things that everyone didn't want to do. At this time, it would be the most fair to decide by lottery. What do you think?"

"Also... OK?" Koizumi nodded, "It sounds fair, and no one can complain about such a result."

"Well, yes, let's decide like this!" Sonia said happily.

Is it fair...?The corner of Naegi's mouth twitched was the only one who knew Komaeda's talents best.

"Huh? Naegi-kun, do you think this is okay?" Komaeda keenly noticed Naegi's unusual expression, his eyes moved slightly, and he looked at him with a smile.

"..." He shook his head immediately.

Under Komaeda-senpai's expression, how could sapling be willing to say the words to expose his lover's background? His eyes were a little complicated. After thinking about it, he added a little interest, and asked Komaeda: "Since it is fair...then I also Can you participate?"

"Of course." Komaeda seemed surprised that he would still have doubts about such a question, and said with a smile, "This is not a welfare activity, and Sapling-kun is forced to participate."

Seeing that he was holding the lottery, Naegi knew that Komaeda would be the last person in the lottery... But it doesn't matter to Komaeda-senpai, right?He thought, and couldn't help but smile.

"Okay." Sapling said happily, "Then I'll draw lots in front of Komaeda-kun, and I'll be second to last!"

The white-haired boy looked at him, rarely confused, and didn't quite understand the significance of his actions for a moment.

It's just a lottery cleaning, is there anything you can expect from Ms. Sapling?

"You can, if you insist," he said.

As we all know, like this kind of lottery rule where one draw is less, the later it is the turn, the greater the chance of the remaining people winning the lottery.When the others took the white lottery cards from Komaeda's hand one by one, the face of Yoshida, who was ranked third from the bottom, had already turned green visibly with the naked eye.

"Two-thirds, two-thirds, two-thirds, please two-thirds—" He closed his eyes and snatched a chopstick from Komaeda's hand, opened his left eye a slit, and aimed at his palm, "Oh !yeah!"

Watching the left and right seniors happily jump away holding the white chopsticks, the seedling behind him couldn't help laughing twice with black lines all over his head.

"Hey, it's your turn, Sapling-kun." Komaeda smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand in front of the boy.

"One-half chance." Seedling mumbled, suddenly took a deep breath, and laughed at himself wryly, "Actually, speaking of it, my luck has never been very good. If it's not unexpected, it's me..."

Komaeda's gray-green eyes filled with a very gentle look, like a bay of clear lake water.

"Don't be nervous, I think you'll get what you want."

Get what you want...

Naegi blinked, stretched out her hand, and took the lotus in Komaeda's hand.

Take a look.

red.

"Well—look, that's what it is," said he.

The students who formed a circle suddenly let out a sigh of regret, and inexplicably felt the lightness of a big stone falling in their hearts.

"Oh, it's a seedling."

"Not so lucky."

"Haha, come to think of it, Komaeda-san's talent is lucky, and it's not unfair for Sapling to lose."

"Pfft! That's right, the Jedi's big turnaround, as expected of luck!"

"Sapling-kun, please~"

Amidst the commotion, only Komaeda looked down at the white stick in his hand for a long time, until his brows furrowed in confusion, and he didn't say a word.
