Komaeda Awakening Project Execution

The gray-green pupils are full of confusion, Komaeda is hesitating, hesitating between choosing absolute hope and Hinata's promise.

There is no way to have the best of both worlds.

Komaeda gave up thinking. After meeting Hinata, things became more and more bizarre, and he had to fall into a deep sleep. Don't think about those things in advance, the more you think about it, the more you will be restrained.

Maybe he was escaping, but he didn't know how to face it, he just slept and thought about it later.

---------------------

Slowly opening his eyes, Komaeda found that he was in an unfamiliar environment. He was in a wooden house without any light source. Where is this place?Komaeda walked around, looking for clues.

No one is there, but the fire in the fireplace is dancing. The furniture here is very simple, but very rich and complete. There is a picture on the wall with stacked playing cards. I don’t quite understand the meaning of this picture. .

There is a book on the table, which is the "Truth" he took back from the library. Komaeda roughly flipped through it. The article he read before disappeared, replaced by a line of text that guided his actions, which seemed to be written in Ink pen.

[If you want to leave here, please go to the study. 】

It's really strange, Komaeda simply played it as an exploration game, and when he came to the stairs leading to the second floor, the weird lights flickered, so it was a horror exploration?Komaeda stepped up the stairs without fear and entered the study.

Different from the way libraries and ordinary study rooms are arranged, the bookcases are arranged like a maze, inviting him to enter, and the book guides him into the study room, and he can only follow suit if there are no other clues. Komaeda went inside and encountered many forks , he would randomly pull out a book from the bookcase and put it on the floor to make a mark.

There is a table at the end with a plate of delicious cakes, is this a trap?Maybe it was poisoned, what a headache, he doesn't like sweets very much, Komaeda was thinking about whether to take a bite, when the book in his hand suddenly emitted a faint light.

[Please find three keys before you can leave the study. 】

Will the key be related to the cake?Is there a key in there?And what shape and color are the keys?It sounded interesting, Komaeda boldly took the cake and took a bite.

-------------------

"Hinata-kun, what is that?" Komaeda looked curiously at the various cakes on the table, he remembered that they were made by Monokuma.

"Miota took it from the refrigerator. She said that desserts are indispensable for a party, and Jugami also said that sugar supplementation is very important, so she asked me to take it to the old building." Hinata was looking for a tray.

"I feel like Hinata-kun has been asked to do chores all the time, so let me help too." Komaeda joined in the search for trays.

"Huh? Why are you here?" Kuzuryu glanced at Hinata and Komaeda in surprise, and then his gaze stayed on the cake.

"I'm helping with the preparations for the party, Kuzuru, will you join me?" Hinata found a lot of stacked trays from the cabinet.

"Huh? Are you ordering my actions!?" The nine-headed dragon was not very happy to hear that.

"There is no order... It's just that if you join us, the party will be very lively."

"There are a lot of cakes to eat." Komaeda added.

"Who would go just because of the cake!?"

"Huh? I thought Kuzuryu-kun liked sweets very much." Mingming kept staring at the cake.

"I don't like it! It's something that children or girls would eat. I don't eat those sweet and greasy things." Nine-headed dragon retorted sternly.

"Uh, isn't it time?" Hinata interrupted the debate between Kuzuryu and Komaeda.

"Then you have to take these quickly. If Kuzuryu-kun is hungry, you can check the refrigerator. There are plenty of cakes left for you to choose from." Komaeda reminded kindly.

"Just say no to eating!"

--------------------

"..." Komaeda was stunned for a while, the sweet taste of the cake spread between his lips and teeth, and he licked the corner of his mouth.

...was just... a memory?what memory?He doesn't remember it ever happening, he has no recollection.

[There are two keys left. 】

Komaeda looked back, he clearly remembered that the bookcase behind was not in this position, did it move?The books that had been marked on the floor were gone, which was distressing.

Continue walking, and there is another table, on which is a paper card that records the date, title, and name of the borrower. Is it a library card? Is this also a key?Like a cake?There is a pen next to it, could it be to write his name?Komaeda filled in the name.

--------------------

"Komaeda, books in the library cannot be borrowed." Hinata pointed to the few books in his hand.

"Huh? Even though it's a library, there's no borrowing service?" Originally, I wanted to take it back to the hut and read it slowly, but it seems that I can only read in the library.

"That's what Black and White Beauty said. I also complained to it, but the complaint was ineffective." Hinata seemed helpless and put all the books back on the bookcase.

"Is it because of the rules? The rules of black and white beauty are very strange. If you litter, the alarm will sound or something." It seems a bit fussy.

"I feel that Black and White Beauty is a discipline chief, who can clearly distinguish between what is not good and what is good." Although it is easy to deceive.

Komaeda casually flipped through the book and pulled out a card. "Ah, it's a library card."

"Library card? How did you find it?" Hinata leaned closer.

"It's in the book, as long as you have a library card, you can borrow the book?" Komaeda smiled slyly.

"...Are you trying to use your brain?" I was a little worried about whether he would become a criminal with a high IQ in the future.

"Huh? Not at all." Komaeda found a pen. "Speaking of... as long as it is a library, there are often such rumors."

"What rumor?"

"It is said that there is a cursed book in the library, as long as you find it and write your name on the library card, that person will become happy."

"...Isn't it a cursed book? Why do you get happiness instead?" Hinata felt conflicted.

"It's a rumor after all, it's better not to take it too seriously."

"...Then give it to me, and I want the pen too." Hinata asked Komaeda for a library card.

"Huh? Do you really want to write?" Komaeda handed over the library card and pen.

"Anyway, it's just for fun. Although it's a rumor, wouldn't it be great to get happiness?" Hinata wrote his name on it.

"Hinata-kun is a very gentle person."

"I've heard you say it several times."

On that library card, the words "Komaeda Nagito" were written.

-------------------

Another unknown memory, Komaeda continued to search in the maze, and the seat of the bookcase changed again.

[There is one key left. 】

Komaeda found the last key with no difficulty. On the table was a glass bottle half full of sand, and he reached out to touch the bottle.

-------------------

On the beach, the setting sun is hanging in the sky, Komaeda and Hinata are standing in the sea water, the afterglow of the setting sun is orange-red with a little golden, like a rendering of color, scattered on the surface of everything.

"Komaeda, I hope you can live well and leave here with us, can you promise me?" Hinata's voice.

Komaeda stared at Hinata bathed in light. "Since it was Hinata-kun who said it, how could I not agree."

"...Really? That's good."

---------------------

"..." is very similar to a dream I had before.

"Since it's what Mr. ○○ said. 』

That vague vacancy is Hinata, right?The person standing in the water was also Hinata.

"I've been broken by you several times. 』

"...The so-called breaking the contract...does this mean?" Komaeda pondered, but there was nothing else in the agreement other than acting together.

They are all memories related to Hinata, memories that he doesn't know about, and Hinata is sometimes weird, as if he knows everything, and treats all non-daily events calmly and gently.

[The keys have been assembled, you can leave the study. 】

The positions of the bookcases kept changing, and Komaeda couldn’t tell which was the path he had walked or the path he hadn’t taken, and the books marked with it had disappeared, let alone east, west, north, south, so he could only walk casually by chance, but after all Fortunately, Komaeda walked out of the maze after going around for a while, and returned to the stairs.

What the hell is going on here?Why is he here?

Komaeda saw the entrance that didn't appear just now, and he opened the door. The sudden glare made Komaeda, who was used to the darker space, close his eyes reflexively, and opened them only after he gradually got used to it.

"...Hope Peak Academy?"

The towering building in front of him, Komaeda can be sure that he did not admit his mistake, why is it here when he came out?Looking back, the wooden house has disappeared.

[Please go inside and look for "Matsuda Yasuke", he will tell you the answer. 】

Matsuda Yasuke, a "super high-level neuroscientist", is a fan of Hope after all. Komaeda has carefully investigated the history of Hope Peak Academy and previous students.

No one, it's strange that there are no guards standing guard at the gate. After all, it is a school that cultivates talents and super high-level students. How could there be no guards to protect the safety of the school?Hope Peak Academy's security system should not be that bad, and even came here, is this a good thing done by Monokuma?Use programs to misbehave.

Komaeda entered Hope's Peak Academy, looked left and right along the way, but didn't see or meet anyone... No, there was a person in front of him, and Komaeda immediately ran towards that person, maybe it was one of the important clues one.

"That... Excuse me, this classmate." Shouldn't it be too rude to say that?

"..." The man ignored him and continued to move in a certain direction.

Impossible not to hear, Komaeda reached out and patted the student on the shoulder.

"Student, please excuse me."

The man finally reacted, he stopped and turned around slowly, then pushed away his hand and took a step back.

"...Sorry, I thought you were calling someone else, what's the matter?" The man smiled politely.

Seeing his face, Komaeda couldn't help but froze. "...Hinata-kun?"
