Komaeda Awakening Project Execution

The person in front of him was indeed Hinata, but unlike the Hinata he knew, there was no cheerful or sunny element, and his temperament was very depressed, so Komaeda didn't recognize it immediately.

"...Hinata-kun?"

Komaeda looked at that Hinata, except for the uniform of the preparatory subject, the appearance was exactly the same as Hinata.

"...you... how do you know my name?" Hinata looked at Komaeda who suddenly stopped him with some doubts.

"...Because my friend told me about you, sorry, did I scare you?" Komaeda quickly regained his composure, and casually found an excuse to fool him.

"..." Hinata said nothing. "... What's the matter with you?"

"Can you take me to Matsuda Yasuke? Because I haven't been able to find him." Komaeda smiled.

"...Okay, come with me." Hinata turned and left.

The eyes are different, this Hinata's eyes are full of loneliness, calmness and calmness, as well as bottomless despair.

"..." It's best to wait and see what happens.

Hinata was still headed in a certain direction, maybe just in the right direction?But Hinata knew about Matsuda Yasuke, and Komaeda remembered the rumors that Matsuda didn't interact with people very much, and it was also a big problem for the preparatory subjects to enter the undergraduate course.

After passing through the corridor, Hinata knocked on the door three times before arriving at the classroom marked "Neurology Laboratory", but there was no movement inside.

"Matsuda is not here, he may go to the dormitory area, do you want to come?"

"Of course, but how did Hinata-kun know that he wasn't there?" After knocking on the door, he didn't get an immediate response, so he was certain that there was no one.

"... Matsuda will not neglect visitors." Hinata went to other places.

Very reticent, if you don't ask, you won't answer.

In the dormitory area, as soon as I walked in, I saw two people standing in the corridor arguing about something.

"Hey~ Matsuda-kun clearly promised me that he would take me to the movies today!" The red-haired girl puffed her cheeks unhappily.

"Didn't I just take you to see it three days ago? You didn't write it in your notes again?" Matsuda impatiently reached out and poked her bulging cheek.

Hinata walked up to them without hesitation, interjecting into their conversation. "Matsuda, we have a visitor."

After seeing Hinata, Matsuda's eyes were obviously not as gentle as that of the girl, but sharp and professional when he entered the working state.

"...It's a hedgehog head, is that white seaweed behind you looking for me?"

"Yeah, I want to talk to you about something." It seems that Matsuda will give someone a nickname, and he is called White Seaweed Head.

"Is it a guest? Is it work again?" The red-haired girl stared at Komaeda curiously.

"Yes, yes, I have to work, ugly girl."

"It's not an ugly girl! Then watch a movie tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay." Matsuda said perfunctorily. "You two come with me."

In the end, I went back to the laboratory again.

[Ask Matsuda Yasuke: How can I leave this world. 】

"So, Seaweed Head, what do you want from me?"

"How can I leave this world?" Komaeda looked at the furnishings and layout of the research room, which didn't feel like a classroom at all.

"Just don't run away, think more about what you have now." Matsuda buried himself in the manga.

"...It's really troublesome." Mingming still wanted to make a decision later.

"What did you see? Unknown memories, Hinata that shouldn't have appeared, Hope Peak Academy?"

"That's all."

"This is your dream, it's all your dream, but it's all based on facts." Matsuda got up and opened the window, and the sunlight came in.

"Sure enough, but what is the "fact"?" Komaeda looked at Hinata who was standing beside him.

"You are reincarnated, this is your second dream to escape the truth." Matsuda leaned against the window. "You feel something is wrong, because the imitation is not perfect."

"But that's all about Hinata-kun."

Hinata put the tea leaves into the teapot. "Because you are running from the truth of 'I'."

"...I'm running away from Hinata-kun?"

"I've asked you many times: Can you promise me one thing, and your answer is: Incorporate traitors and others into your crazy schemes." Hinata poured hot water into the teapot and closed the lid.

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

"Are you going to do the same this time?"

"...Well, Hinata-kun guessed right." Komaeda still had a familiar smile.

"Do you want me to die?" Hinata's straightforward eyes looked into his eyes.

"……what?"

"You want me to die, right? For hope." Hinata said the cruel truth indifferently.

"...No, I hope Hinata-kun is alive." Komaeda stared at Hinata's eyes.

"..." Hinata shifted his gaze to the teapot. "……Yeah?"

"Of course, Hinata-kun is the one who accepts me." Komaeda smiled.

"Then why are you here?"

"I don't know either, but when I opened my eyes, I went to a strange place."

"No, this is your dream, a dream created by you." Hinata's eyes changed color. "So you should be very clear."

"...Hinata-kun, your eyes..." Komaeda looked into those bloody eyes.

The fluorescent lights began to flicker, and the atmosphere became weird. Komaeda's vigilance increased a lot, and Hinata slowly walked in front of him, his blood-red eyes shining in the dark were extremely clear.

"I've always wanted to ask a question, why do you think I'm "Hinata-kun"?" A voice without any emotion.

"..."

"You want me to be "Hinata-kun", so think of me as him."

Komaeda was wary of what "Hinata" would do.

"You're running away, because "Hinata-kun" has—"

"boom!"

The fluorescent lamp shattered and made an unpleasant sound.

"..." Komaeda clenched his hands into fists.

"..." "Hinata" remained silent. "...You know that very well."

"The matter about "Hyuga-kun" is not "Hyuga-kun"."

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

Komaeda suddenly opened his eyes, he was sweating, he had a dream, a nightmare.

"..." It was late at night, Komaeda got up and left the hut.

No one can enter or leave the hospital late at night, but Komaeda has something that must be confirmed no matter what.

"Komaeda-san, the hospital is forbidden to enter. If you want to see Hinata-san, please come back tomorrow~ Students' sleep is very important~!" Monokuma jumped out immediately.

"..." Komaeda thought for a moment.

"You are reincarnated, this is your second dream to escape the truth. 』

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

"...Hey, Monokuma."

"Ah, does Komaeda-san want to say something to me?" Monokuma stared at him curiously.

"Don't stop me." Komaeda openly challenged Monokuma.

"Hmm! I'm obviously thinking of Komaeda-san, but I've been rejected!?" Monokuma said he was very shocked.

...can't it...?

"You were created by me, is it normal to listen to me?" Komaeda was trying.

"Hmm? Is Komaeda-san talking in your sleep? I came out of my mother's womb~ Of course my mother is also a bear~ Phoooooo...Komaeda-san is a bit strange~?" Monokuma tilted his head in confusion .

"Let him in."

Komaeda looked at the source of the voice, Hinata was standing by the door.

"...Is Hinata-san the same as Komaeda-san~? You're a student but you want to order the principal, and I said you can't leave the ward at midnight~"

Hinata quietly looked at Monokuma.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Okay! I compromise! Because it's "Hinata-san", I give special permission!" Monokuma surrendered. "Young people don't take me seriously these days...It's really sad."

"..." Komaeda looked at Monokuma in frustration and disappeared into the grass.

"Come in, Komaeda." Hinata invited him.

"..."

Hinata brought Komaeda into the ward, and he turned on the light.

"Is there anything you can do with me?"

"... Hinata-kun, this world is fake, I created it, right?" Komaeda confessed directly without concealment.

"Well, that's right." Hinata gave an affirmative answer.

"... But Hinata-kun is different, right? You are not a character I created." Komaeda asked firmly.

"I was created by you, it's just that I'm different from other people." Hinata didn't say it clearly. "What truth do you know?"

"...Hinata-kun, you... are not actually Hinata-kun, are you?"

"My answer is ambiguous. You don't want to wake up because of the psychological trauma after death. In order to escape the facts, you built everything. Hinata Creation is a special existence for you, so you built Hinata. created world."

"...that is, the cannibalism on Jabawak Island, have I experienced it once?" Komaeda patiently followed Hinata's pace, allowing him to change the topic and ask questions.

"Yes, that's what happened."

"...What is the ending?"

"Your plan failed, the traitor sacrificed himself to keep others alive, and successfully returned to the real world."

"Seems like a happy ending?"

"The other dead have woken up, only you are left."

"Is Hinata-kun okay? Since this is the space I created, it means I can destroy it and return to the real world?"

"Not yet, you just wanted to control Monokuma but couldn't do anything about it, the conditions for awakening are not enough, I can't tell you about the conditions." Hinata poured steaming tea into the earthenware cup.

"..." Komaeda glanced at the familiar teapot. "...Then, can you tell me who you are? Since just now, the way you speak and act are completely different from Hinata-kun."

"Not yet, you'll find out soon." Hinata offered Komaeda another cup of tea. "Would you like a drink?"

"Thank you." Komaeda sipped carefully after taking it, fearing that it would burn. "So I still have to live in this space?"

"Until the conditions are met."

The tea is very delicious, it is a very high-grade tea, and the teapot is exactly the same as the one in the dream.

"...Where is Hinata-kun here?"

"It will be back to normal tomorrow," Hinata said.

"Tsu Hinata is special to you, so don't worry about him disappearing, not to mention that if he disappears, you won't be able to return to reality."
