[Danwanron Hakomae] Hope synaesthesia

It was raining heavily on the street.

The night in the city is rarely washed away by the torrential rain, the moon is covered by black clouds, and there are not many people on the road, so the car driving in the middle of the night is very smooth, and the flashing car shadows set off countless splashes of water.The neon advertising lights among the tall buildings shone far away in the rain, and countless colorful colors flashed in the field of vision.

The seedlings tilted the umbrella surface slightly, and the stream of water that immediately converged into strands flowed down the umbrella ribs.He stood under the big screen in the commercial plaza, and when he looked up, he could see the real estate advertisement playing above.The endorsement star was an old record singer whom he was somewhat familiar with. The face on the screen was much younger than his impression, probably due to makeup or special effects, and many details were almost the same as the real world.

"Successful infiltration."

The voice without any emotion recalled Naogi's slightly stunned thoughts, and he responded with a soft "hmm", while rolling up the sleeves of his shirt to the elbow position, splashing a few drops on his fingers The cold rain is flowing down the wrist bone to the forearm.

"Exploring the border of the dream."

"Detection successful."

"The level of this dream is: international city level. It covers an area of ​​about 2200 square kilometers, covering the 23 wards of Tokyo."

"It's even wider than the scope of the New World program..." Seedling was surprised.

"According to the most cutting-edge research conclusions of modern times, the undeveloped brain areas of most people in the world account for more than 90%. The research topics of the Institute directly belong to the brain domain development project called "Invasion of God's Domain" in the industry, and the remaining 12 institutes also have knowledge in related fields."

AlterEgo's voice is very calm, very similar to Hinata Tsunade before awakening from the New World Program, or to be precise, Kamizato.

"This world is the realization of his subconscious world, including the memory reserve of Komaeda Nagito's 19 years of life. It is not surprising to have this level of data volume and perfection."

AlterEgo, who appeared next to Seedling at unknown times, was also holding a large black umbrella. His silhouette was tall and stern, and his program image was the same as his creator's attire in school days. The rain was dripping on the dark umbrella There were transparent water splashes, but unlike the seedlings, his figure seemed to be more transparent, after all, it was just a phantom of the remote link of the main program.

Because normally speaking, an outsider forcibly breaking into a person's conscious world can easily arouse the opponent's subconscious strong resistance. In addition...even AlterEgo didn't predict that Komaeda would be so unguarded against saplings, he The degree of deep diving is far farther than the limit that can be achieved by relying on technology. The moment of entering the world is surprisingly easy, as if a drop of water flows into the ocean, and there is no shock at all. AlterEgo immediately changed the awakening plan to Remotely assist the actions of seedlings.

As the administrator of the new world program, Naegi's mental program was programmed with serious injury protection and priority repair codes. After being unconscious for a day due to serious injuries, he regained consciousness, and then successfully contacted Wukiri and Ten Gods who were outside the game. People, in the school-level referee, together with other 77th grade seniors, they broke the blockade of Enoshima and helped everyone wake up from the New World program.

But sapling did not break away from the program, he was in Nanami Qianqiu - she is the person called "traitor" by Monokuma, and also Alter Ego, who is based on the former squad leader of the 77th seniors, standing in the position of hope in the new world program With the assistance of the forces against Enoshima—the mental data of those who died in the program were recollected.Hinata, who is in reality, loaded the special AlterEgo he wrote on the outside of the game, and transferred their data to separate isolated functional areas to perform the task of forced wake-up.

After listening to AlterEgo's explanation, Naegi's face showed a thoughtful look. To be honest, Naegi is not very familiar with the neighborhood here. On campus only.But he knew that Komaeda's house was also here, and Naegi went there with Komaeda once during the holidays, and he was the only one in his house, and Komaeda seemed to only consider that place as a place to stay.

"It's too real here... It's not suitable to look for people at night. Should I find a place to live for now, or find out the whereabouts of Senior Komaeda first?" Will he be there..."

"Theoretically, Komaeda Nagito can be in any corner of this world, because this world is the embodiment of his consciousness, and the probability of finding him through normal means is like finding a needle in a haystack."

AlterEgo analyzed rationally.

Just as the seedlings were about to say that it would be too difficult to find, they immediately heard the other party make a suggestion that sounded rather unkind.

"Deep dreams are usually deeply involved with the other party's subconscious mind. You can first find the person closest to him to overcome it. This can most effectively alarm his stress mechanism, thereby attracting his attention to you and improving your relationship. The probability."

Seedling: "..."

In the middle of the night, when the dark clouds rolled in the sky, a sudden gust of wind blew up, and thunder exploded. The sudden flashes of lightning illuminated the seedling's face almost bloodless pale, with calm green eyes, and the fragile umbrella ribs were deformed by the strong airflow. The slanted rain even In an instant, he was drowned under the umbrella, and the icy cold rainwater flowed down the arc of his side cheeks to his jaw.

Hearing AlterEgo's proposal, which seems to be devoted to awakening Komaeda-senpai by forcefully pulling hatred points, and against the news of a rare aviation accident in decades that was suddenly broadcast on the big screen, Sapling suddenly felt that he The image of the villain may be a bit like the first appearance of the villain in the movie-as a symbol of "misfortune", he is about to bring a catastrophe to the protagonist.

Seedling quickly fell silent for a moment because of his weird thoughts.

This is not an environment suitable for people to fall into contemplation. He really didn't want to stand on the rainy street and think about this kind of problem, so he quickly decided to find a place to rest.He has a black card with unlimited consumption in his pocket, which is a plug-in provided by AlterEgo. Naegi decided that he should find a hotel to stay for one night, and then go to Hope Peak the next day. If it doesn’t work, he will find another way Komaeda.

"It's raining so heavily here, is it affected by Komaeda-senpai's mood?" Naegi frowned, a little worried.

"The climate of the dream world may be affected by many factors, and his own emotions are also one of them."

AlterEgo's answer is very objective.

The seedlings lowered their heads slightly, the corners of their lips pursed slightly, and they didn't know what they were thinking about.

"What problem do you have? I will provide support within my ability." AlterEgo said suddenly, "Even if it is a problem that I cannot solve, I can submit it and upload it to the New World program external terminal."

"Thank you, not now." Naegi said.

is it?

AlterEgo found that since the contact with him, from the beginning to the end, the seedlings have not smiled.

As an artificial intelligence program, he can't intuitively feel a person's emotions. He just compares the frequency of the person's various tiny habits in Hinata Chuang's memory to get this phenomenon that can be called abnormal. As for the reason , he does not know.

Because the behavior of real human beings sneaking into the depths of the sea of ​​consciousness of others is dangerous, the AlterEgo program has been programmed with anti-lost instructions.He silently paid attention to Sapling's mental state, but the other party seemed quite calm, and it was a very reasonable explanation for humans to subconsciously suppress self-indulgence when performing dangerous tasks.

The torrential rain flooded the ground, and the water pools converged into streams, which swirled and drifted down the sewer.

The strong wind blew into the hem of the suit, and the cold and humid air stimulated people to tremble uncontrollably. In such a terrible environment, the seedlings also hurriedly walked like a few pedestrians on the road, and the searchlights passing by the roadside The intersection of light and rain made his figure thin and thin, like a distant and blurred silhouette in an old photo.

Deja vu, but no trace to be found.

Komaeda Nagito looked away indifferently, the big raindrops hit his body one after another, the soaked clothes stuck to his body, his body couldn't help shivering in the bone marrow-soaked chill, and suddenly he couldn't help but shivered. Little sneeze.

The people not far away suddenly stopped in their tracks, seemed to be in a daze for a while, then turned around abruptly and walked over.

Komaeda: "?"

Seedling: "..."

In a magical dream, the most prosperous business district in the international city is deep in the narrow and dark alleys among the tall buildings.

The blurred and dazzling lights stopped at the entrance of the alley, but the shadows of the seedlings stretched extremely long.He stood there in a daze, his slightly opened eyes seemed to have seen something unbelievable, the white-haired young boy shrouded in his shadow was drenched all over, like an abandoned kitten, knees bent and shrunk Beside the wall, there was also a pair of gray-green eyes very similar to his, looking at the seedlings in confusion and wariness.

The noise of the rain filled the cochlea.

Makoto Miaomu blinked slowly. He was standing against the light in the narrow alley. From the perspective of a child from the bottom up, this young man who was vaguely between a teenager and a youth in appearance must be Staring at himself intently, the wet drops of water dripped down his chin. Although he was holding an umbrella, he looked as embarrassed as he was.

The seedlings lowered their eyelids, and the light passed through the eyelashes, sweeping down a small curved beautiful silhouette. The light eyes were extremely cold, but unexpectedly, they complemented the handsome and delicate face, and the eyes showed a very gentle and quiet look. Soft and flavorful.

For a lonely person, his temperament is like a homeless wanderer looking for a home for a long time, which makes people feel warm and stable unconsciously.

The young Komaeda Nagito was in his line of sight, and he raised his head as if attracted, and his eyes met for a while, and then he suddenly realized that he felt nervous, the arms around his knees immediately tightened, and his whole body was a little stiff.

"you……"

Seedling looked at him, swallowed, and stretched out his hand subconsciously. The toddler was startled, and propped his hands behind his back, pressing his back against the wet and cold wall.

"..."

Komaeda held his breath for a moment in bewilderment, only to see that the other party's outstretched fingers stopped in mid-air immediately, and his eyes suddenly floated up, just in time to take a panoramic view of the disappointment on the seedling's face that was too late to close.

His heart twitched, and there was some inexplicable hesitation in his eyes. He opened his mouth nah, and didn't make a sound for a long time.

While hesitating, the stranger on the opposite side suddenly squatted down, his eyes were level with him, the corners of his lips were bent, and a soft smile appeared in his eyes.

"You don't have to be afraid, I won't hurt you." Seedling took a deep breath, as if he was trying to suppress the turbulent emotions, he restrained the trembling of breathing, and said to him softly, "Nagito, I'm here to find your."

find him?

Komaeda was stunned, and for a moment a blank emotion appeared on that delicate and beautiful young face soaked by rain.

"But...all the people in my family have passed away." He paused, and then whispered after a while, "They, and many others, were all killed by me."

Seedling was taken aback for a moment.

Komaeda keenly noticed the look of distress and pity in the eyes of the person in front of him, and couldn't help biting his lower lip in embarrassment, with the urge to run away in his heart.

It's just that he couldn't resist his subconscious desire and affection for this person. Instinctively, his eyes turned red quickly, and tears rolled out of his eyes one by one, mixing in the rain on his face.

"During the funeral, those people said that I have no other relatives...you...you know my name, but I have never seen you."

It could be heard that he was trying to restrain his sobs, and Naegi noticed that Komaeda had been staring into his eyes, as if he was thinking about something, and his fingers curled up unconsciously.

"You look a bit like my father's relatives..." He whispered, hesitated for a moment, and then raised his eyes with the courage to ask, "May I know your name?"

Seedling stretched out his hand, and put his warm palm on the child's tender cheek, stroking slowly and lightly.

His eyes were very peaceful, and suddenly became very far away, recalling the past.

Having been together for a long time, sapling has naturally heard about Komaeda's life experience.At that time, he only casually talked about his talent and mentioned the past by the way.Komaeda said that he traveled abroad with his parents when he was a child, but the plane they were on was hijacked by robbers at high altitude halfway, and they were in danger.The probability of such a sinister event happening is extremely small, and everyone was frightened into panic. What's more, a meteorite happened to fall from the sky at that time. When the plane crashed, the robbers and passengers were killed one after another. In the end, only he One survived.

Such an encounter would be bloody bad luck for any ordinary person, and one should be thankful for one's life by chance.However, Komaeda has always been very lucky, and escape from death is almost a standard ending, so he is quite disapproving of his own survival, and because he lost his parents when he was young, he inherited a large amount of inheritance, which adds a bit of irony to his own ability fear.

Komaeda has long been used to underestimating many gains and losses, and he is especially indifferent when talking about his own situation. When he narrates, he even has time to hug sapling for intimacy, bows his head and gently bites the tip of his ear, and is still playing with his fingers. Casual, like teasing someone else's gossip, very careless.

He said that he was young and alone at that time, but he held the huge amount of insurance paid by the airline and the assets of the family in his hand, which was enough to make many related and unrelated people look eagerly.However, he is not afraid of other people's ill intentions towards him. After all, he is so lucky. Whether it is good for him or bad for him, it is very easy to be involved in his fate. There are too many mediocre people in the world. There are no seedlings with such a hard life, and they will soon have to be forced by the situation to retreat.Later, Komaeda chose a full-time boarding school to study, and an old friend of his father took over the burden of guardian and occasionally provided care, until the turning point of fate, he was selected by Hope Peak to become the lucky one of the 77th batch.

"So, I'm really happy to meet you." He smiled very gently, his eyes were deep, he held the hand of saplings, and he was the only one in his eyes, "I'm so glad that I'm going to leave school as soon as I leave school." I found you, Sapling-kun, I dare not assume how long I would have missed you if I hadn't noticed you from the very beginning." The words like a confession made the young man blush and flustered.

This is indeed the case. If there is no front edge of synaesthesia, Komaeda will focus on looking for him who is still unknown after leaving school. He may travel around aimlessly, miss meeting saplings, and miss saplings' enrollment. I will return to Peak of Hope and notice this junior from the lower grades.

Naegi also knew that he chose to leave school because he was involved in Enoshima's conspiracy. If it was really a coincidence to a certain extent, he would not even have the chance to meet him until now.Even now, the time they spend apart is almost more than the time they spend together. During the year in the shelter and the time they joined the future organization, they managed to find the seniors of the 77th issue who participated in the new world program and washed away The memory of Hope Peak is basically equivalent to giving up all the past between them.

Naegi knows that Komaeda cares deeply about their memories together, and belatedly realizes that he does too after experiencing flashbacks twice in a row.But he is still too young. As an authority, it is always easy to lose sight and ignore some important details inadvertently.

A person's life is not only meaningful in fragments of memories, just like Naegi's successful experience of turning dangers into good fortunes has created his stubborn temper that never refuses to be discouraged lightly, even though Komaeda always understates his past and doesn't care. The reality is also completely different from what he showed.

Seedling looked deeply at Komaeda, and the child's clear eyes were also looking at him. The small umbrella separated them from the world under the torrential rain. Komaeda shrunk himself into a ball, but looked into his eyes There was clearly still a bright wave of light flashing in it, and the seedling knew that he was expecting his own response.

Because he is still too young, unlike his grown-up self, who has grown up to be able to calmly bury the pain of the past, and mention this old event with a smile and a calm tone.He feels pain for the loss of his parents, blames himself for his unreasonable survival, and feels lonely and helpless in his own situation.

The experience hurt him more than they thought, which is why his dreams were like this.

Seedling sighed deeply in his heart.

He lowered his eyelashes quietly, nodded slightly in the child's eager eyes to show his acquiescence, then curled his lips, showing a gentle smile: "My name is Naegi Makoto, Nagito, would you like to go home with me? "

Come back home.

These two warm words are like a dream.

He thought he had lost it and could never have it again.

But when he showed up... he still wanted it.

Even if he doesn't know when, the dream will be shattered and he will fall.

Komaeda thought he would laugh, but at that time, a small heart was filled with complicated emotions, and he felt suffocated. The boiling blood seemed to be squeezed out of the small ventricle in an instant, and the pain was so painful Limbs and bones began to burn hot, and even breathing was difficult for a while.

After a long time, he lowered his head and squeezed out a very light "um" from his throat.

Then it seemed as if all the strength in his body had been exhausted, and he suddenly lost consciousness.

Komaeda suddenly passed out, and Naegi noticed that the child's body was heating up rapidly.

This is his world, and many things are actually subjective and idealistic. For example, when the other party fell into his arms, AlterEgo reported to him that he had found the identity of the seedling in this world.

In fact, Naegi didn't even need to be informed by the other party. He reached into his suit jacket and took out several documents that didn't exist in the first place.

My own identity certificate, the name is of course Makoto Nagi, a foreigner of Japanese descent, and a proof of guardianship. As a distant relative of Komaeda's father who has been abroad all the year round, he is also the only living relative of Komaeda Nagito. Now he has become a The legal guardian of the other party.

The sapling who was suddenly deprived of his nationality and raised his seniority out of thin air: "..."

He looked at these things repeatedly in disbelief, thinking about the real relationship between the two, and soon felt a bit of embarrassment and shame that was hard to describe.

"Why is this..."

"Because Komaeda Nagito agrees with the identity you told him. In this world, his will determines everything. Just like when I first entered this world, I didn't scan the surrounding area at all to find his spiritual body, but when Not long after you successfully infiltrated, he took the initiative to appear by your side."

AlterEgo rationally explained that he analyzed that this kind of status near the water is quite suitable for seedlings to wake up Komaeda. He didn't understand why seedlings showed a more subtle expression when they heard the words. Looking carefully, they seemed to be a little blushing.

"Oh, well, I understand." He took a few deep breaths, finally accepted the setting, threw away the umbrella, and hugged the unconscious child.

After the seedlings stood up and took a few quick steps, the waterfall rain that poured into the sky and the ground miraculously disappeared. The dark clouds dissipated, and a few bright stars even shone in the deep night sky. There was a long wind from the street trees in summer night. cicadas sing.

Miao Mu thought that he had practiced some kind of peerless magical skill. The child in his arms was so light and light that it was completely unreasonable. After a while, he moved away from a brightly lit commercial street, and came to a quiet and peaceful residential area. The gate with the Komaeda house number was in front of him.

AlterEgo is very clear that the owner in the dream will not be affected by the so-called illness, and his own good or bad is completely determined by his own heart, and then silently concluded that it is easier for the other party to create a surreal state when he is in a state of unconsciousness than when he is awake expanded conclusions.

After all, dreaming should not be too illogical, especially if you cannot let yourself realize that you are illogical.

AlterEgo sat calmly and watched the saplings care about him, and hovered anxiously in front of Komaeda's house for a while, only to remember that he found the key from the child's pocket and entered the house, helped him wipe and change his clothes, fed him medicine and anti-fever paste, and survived. , Use a thermometer to measure the fever and then heave a sigh of relief.

Only then did he think about taking care of himself, and when he sat back on the bed again, it was already dark night, the silvery white moonlight was pure and transparent, sending moist warm wind flowing from the balcony, the gauze curtain fluttering gently, the seedlings were calm and peaceful. Looking at the innocent sleeping face of the child with tender eyes, he felt peaceful.

He remembered that when he was in the refuge, he passed out one night, and Komaeda stayed by his side all the time, his gray-green eyes in the darkness were peaceful and quiet, and the first time Naegi opened his eyes, he saw him , Somehow, the heavy and depressed mood forced by the tragedy of the cannibalism among classmates suddenly relaxed, and Naegi felt relieved, because she was always gently protected by him, and the eased state seemed to be redeemed.

"This state is not bad..."

After a while, he suddenly muttered to himself, and gently held Komaeda's fingers in his palm.

"I can't always be protected by you, since you give me a chance, let me try to protect you."

Moreover, Sapling has a vague feeling...he is here, and he can probably find out Komaeda's knot, why the other party has chosen the most extreme self-destruct method twice in a row to help him and everyone break the situation, obviously there is no other way , and the second time he has forgotten the memory of being ruled by despair.

Komaeda's consciousness sank, as if he was trapped in the depths of a pond.

He was very tired, yet there was a sense of comfort and relaxation that had been violated. He instinctively knew that he was in a closed and safe environment, and he didn't need to think about anything, and he didn't need to worry about anything.

So he was peaceful and quiet, and the scattered and floating memory fragments seemed to be floating in the light, swimming colorfully before his eyes, Komaeda looked indifferently from a distance, without any emotion in his heart.

This state is actually very close to death.

But he hasn't really felt numb yet, perhaps because he is still unwilling in his subconscious, somehow he can always feel the touch of tears falling drop by drop on his cheeks at the moment before he died, a bit like the prelude to a shower, falling from the sky The heavy water drops, but the heat is distinct, not as cold as rain, which condenses the chill that cannot be dispelled even in the hottest midsummer, but carries the temperature of the human body.

Like unstoppable blood from the apex of the heart, it is bright red and hot.

The fallacy of the senses blurred the chaotic reality, and in the end, he felt that the blood that fell on his cheeks should be blood, not tears.

That child has always been warm.

He has kissed away the tears from the corners of his eyes so many times, the light green eyeballs are always moistened to become pure and soft, the breath is densely intertwined, the subtle tremors are like the faint aftertaste of a guqin, the strings disturb the air , it was like the lurking current under the veins boiling hot, making him love so much that his heart seemed to be burned by a raging fire.

Komaeda has always been reluctant for him to cry.

Tears still tugged at his heartstrings, not to mention that the child endured the pain of blood flow, lying on his body docilely and tiredly, trying his best to hold his fingers pretending to be normal.

His heart was heavy, and as soon as some thought of loss appeared, it would entangle him and make him terrified, as if his throat was strangled by a huge force, unable to breathe.

For a moment, it seemed as if a crack had opened in his heart, and he was filled with mixed feelings and delusions.

That was when the child fell into his dream, a dream where it was always raining.

Uzuki is a season with frequent rainfall, and there was another light rain outside near the early morning.

The momentum was not too loud, but it was a bit disturbing. The pattering raindrops fell on the courtyard outside the window, knocking on the windowpanes one after another, and the air was filled with a fresh and moist breath, like a light and cool reality.

Komaeda burned for half a night before lowering the temperature. He was a little precocious since he was a child, and he experienced the pain of losing his parents. He didn't regard the accident as a pure disaster in his heart, and even felt self-blame, and his spirit was tortured and weakened. .Hearing the sound of rain, he woke up suddenly after a short while.

The body was covered with a thick quilt, and the child had just sweated profusely, and his limbs were as heavy as if he had just been fished out of the water.

The curtains in the room were not drawn tightly, and he turned his head to look out the window. There were still many drops of water dripping from the glass, and he could vaguely see the gray-blue sky outside, with ink-like marks on the hazy edges of the clouds, and It was like the day of the funeral, a very lonely sky.

The room was empty, and there was no one there except him.

Komaeda suffocated slightly, and was suddenly overwhelmed by a burst of heart palpitations. He threw off the quilt without thinking, jumped out of bed, opened the door and ran down the stairs.

The sound of the child running down the stairs made Miao Mu, who was sitting at the dining table, immediately look back. He saw a small white figure rushing down the stairs at a speed that was almost reckless, and the young man coughed in shock. With a cry, he quickly put down the coffee cup in his hand and stood up.

"What's wrong, did you have a nightmare?"

"No." Komaeda looked at him steadily and shook his head slowly.

Seedling took a closer look at the child who ran up to him. Komaeda's cheeks were pale and haggard, a little sweat leaked from the tip of his nose, and he came downstairs in thin pajamas. His bare feet stood in the cold His bare toes curled up slightly on the wooden floor.

Seedling felt very distressed at once, and immediately bent down and hugged him to the sofa. First, he stuffed a pillow into the child's arms, and after a while found a blanket to cover him, and put his warm palm on Komaeda's forehead to try. Check the temperature.

"If you are sick, you should rest well in the room, don't be so disregarding your body." He reprimanded gently, brushing the broken hair with his fingers and stroking the child's sweaty cheeks, seeing Komaeda lightly "hmm" He let out a sound, and then stared at him with those cold eyes, and suddenly couldn't say any more complaints, sighed helplessly, and turned to make breakfast for him.

During the year of the shelter project, Naegi lived with other contemporaries who were imprisoned in Hope Peak, and everyone took turns to take care of the public housekeeping. Among other things, at least he learned a few simple things from the girls. According to the picky standards of Miss Gambler and Young Master, the cooking skills should not be unpalatable.

Seedling rolled up his sleeves, opened the refrigerator and looked at the ingredients, took out eggs, mushrooms, chicken, shrimp and the fresh milk that was delivered to the door early in the morning, beat two eggs and mixed with milk, then added the cooked minced meat and shrimp and The shiitake mushrooms were steamed together, and after a while, he came out with a bowl of stewed eggs in milk, sat next to Komaeda, scooped it out with a spoon, blew it cold, and fed him.

Komaeda was very well-behaved when quiet, eating next to the seedlings docilely, her slender eyelashes trembling slightly, and her delicate eyebrows were more beautiful than girls.

Miao Mu's heart softened into a puddle of water, and for a moment he thought of his sister, and couldn't help but compare his childhood lover with Miao Mu when he was a child for three seconds, and then apologized silently and ashamedly to Xiao Mian three times in his heart.

Komaeda sensitively sensed that the adult around him seemed to be distracted, he turned his gaze to the side in an unobtrusive way, and was peeking at the other person's handsome and delicate side face from below, his fingers gripping the pillow slightly tightened.

"Sapling...Mr. Sapling." He didn't know what to call this person who suddenly appeared beside him, with a cautious expression on his face, looking like he wanted to get close but was a little panicked, his light-colored lips parted slightly, He asked tentatively, "Would you like to be with me in the future?"

Seedling was stunned. He had never seen Komaeda look so disturbed. He felt so sad and pity that even if he wanted the moon now, he would have to try his best to try to pick it off. He quickly put down the bowl and hugged her.

"Of course, I will always be with you."

The child was silently buried in his arms, a little greedy for the warmth of the other person's body, clutching the seedling's shirt without saying a word, slowly lowering his eyelashes to hide his light and quiet eyes.

Komaeda thought, this person is very warm, I like him.

After a while, he thought again, his mother said that if he likes someone, he should be nice to him, but most of the people around him will not have a good time, so I probably can’t call it liking like this, but just being selfish.

After breakfast, Naegi gave Komaeda another dose of medicine when he saw that the time was almost up.He knew that the other party was not in a very healthy physique after so many years, and he was afraid that his childhood lover would suffer, and his caring and loving attitude was probably more ardent than caring for his sick sister back then.Not long after Komaeda took the medicine, a look of sleepiness appeared on his face, Naegi coaxed him back to the room to continue to catch up on sleep, and kept watching until he fell asleep before going downstairs to wash the dishes.

The house of Komaeda's house is quite old, and the floor is relatively old. In the kitchen, the edge of the wooden floor was raised. Seedling stumbled and almost fell to the ground without noticing it for a while, with his fingers resting on the stove.

"Well……"

He frowned in pain, and suddenly smelled a strange smell, but because of his lack of life experience, he couldn't tell what it was.

"The kitchen gas leaked, and the gas meter outside the house happened to be malfunctioning. I haven't had time to contact the maintenance company."

Alter Ego said calmly.

Seedling's hairs stood on end suddenly, sensing some danger, he quickly said, "Fix it."

"Yes, the order is being executed... the task has been completed."

Hearing this, he let out a sigh of relief, opened the window to get some air, went out and waited for a while before returning to the kitchen to clean up the mess.
