I had to save the world to support my family

The author has something to say:

This is a continuation of "Danwanronpa 3 Despair" as the background.The preparatory students committed mass suicide, Qihai Qianqiu was executed, and all the students of the 77th class were brainwashed and became the party of despair.

Under the continuous control of the perpetrators, the "disease of despair" has spread all over the world, triggering a large number of violent incidents, and the military governments of many countries have lost control and been forced to stop. This is "the greatest evil and despair incident in human history".

After mastering a considerable number of talents, the virtual character Monokuma became the spokesperson of super high school-level despair, controlled and organized the cannibalism of the 78th high school students, and broadcast it live worldwide, with the purpose of completely destroying Hope Peak School The "hope" in the hearts of people outside the garden.

Put these at the top, and hope that the little angels who haven't seen it can also eat happily.

ps. Komaeda makes me happy :D "Komaeda...Nagito."

Novia chewed on this string of notes, feeling that fate is really quite strange sometimes.

At least the client appeared in front of her now, looking like he would die alone without help. She has come all the time, so she can't just leave without doing anything.

The young man whose name was called laughed again, with a clear smile of embarrassment and nostalgia.He happily dragged out two "hey hey" voices, with a slightly hoarse ending: "Isn't this name a mouthful? Well, don't bother remembering it, it's not interesting anyway."

Novia felt a bit of sympathy from that satisfied expression, and thought about what kind of miserable life this child had before: "I don't think so. Then, can I call you Komaeda?"

"Hey, it's just like this—"

"excuse me."

"Just kidding! It's the end of the world anyway, why do you care about these things, so I said it doesn't make sense... But, you can call it if you want."

Even though he said so, there was still a flash of warm emotion in the dark gray-green pupils.

"Komaeda."

"……Hey?"

"I said, Komaeda."

"Well, what do you want to say?"

The young man echoed his name in rhythmic rhythm, as if he was playing house wine.Novia walked to his side, leaning on the railing and looking at the scorched corpse on the ground, her eyelashes trembling slightly in the foehn wind.

"It wasn't supposed to be this scene. Why did it become like this?"

He turned his head to look at her, seeming a little puzzled.

"Are you asking me something by saying that?"

"--question?"

Novia grasped the railing subconsciously, and the light blue blood vessels on the back of her hand stood out.Some kind of unexpected truth gradually surfaced from under the surface of the water, she could only calmly breathe a sigh of relief, and asked back in an offended and displeased tone.

"I don't understand. What the hell do you mean?"

The other party seemed to feel very bored, and stretched limply, with tears in the corner of his eyes: "It's not a good habit to insist on pretending to be ignorant. Or—"

A ray of silver light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and the lightning was approaching, almost occupying the entire line of sight.Novia's scalp went numb, and while quickly backing away, she hastily released a spell that had been stored for a long time: "Protego!"

The roar of gold and iron colliding suddenly exploded only a few centimeters away from the neck, and the dagger held by the young man was bounced far away by the Iron Armor Curse, and rolled to the other side of the roof with a clatter.He let out a cry of surprise, his sense of curiosity and excitement was greater than worry and fear, and he even approached him nonchalantly after losing his weapon.

"It feels like an air wall... Is it a new invention of the future mechanism? No wonder you don't seem to be afraid at all."

"Future agency?"

"Hey, your acting skills are good, little sister, I give full marks to this puzzled expression."

He looked around with a smile, raised his hands and took two steps back: "Not only is his acting skills good, but he is also very dedicated. It stands to reason that at this time, shouldn't I call out my comrades? I'm alone."

……

Oh, so it was the attack of persecution paranoia?

Novia's dead fish eyes, while he was still looking for non-existent accomplices, he cleared his mind and quickly asked: "So you caused this scene? - No, I don't believe it. It is impossible for one person's strength ...You said 'lost alone', is it the organization that Komaeda belongs to who caused the trouble?"

The search was fruitless, and the sloppy smile that had been covering the young man's face for the first time finally showed a tendency to dissipate.

"That stupid look of ignorance... Tch. At this point, you still want to confuse me."

She didn't speak, just looked at him with a frown.The pale cheeks were dyed with a layer of dancing light and shadow by the flames. The young man put his hands in his pockets and walked towards this side without haste.

"Don't you know the news about the mass suicide of the prep students?"

"The self-destruction of human beings caused by the spread of despair, don't you know?"

"The live broadcast of killing each other is obviously worldwide. Ah, haven't you even watched this?"

Seemingly getting motivation from these words, that sickly smile appeared on the young man's face again, swallowing up the shy, inferior, childish [Komaeda Nagito] before.

"Haha, you're desperate, right?! That's right, that's right—! It takes such deep despair to breed the brightest hope!!"

The clear gray-green pupils were stained with the same color of black haze as the sky, wrapped in a frenzy that only he could understand, he approached step by step, trying to reach out to grab the girl's thin shoulders.

"You must be thinking the same way, right? Absolute hope that can break through all desperate situations, that's the only way... only this way!"

Shaking his head incomprehensibly, Novia frowned and blocked his hand: "It's just this reason?!"

Just for the sake of an elusive and elusive image, they actually set out to do this... Destroy all the good things, encourage fighting, ridicule morality, and destroy order—and after that, facing this scorched land with no life left, He kept saying it was for hope?

Her temples throbbed and hurt, her expression gradually cooled down, and she judged lightly: "You are crazy."

He laughed so hard that he didn't care whether the words were positive or negative: "It doesn't matter, I'm just an insignificant little character. But the point is, from your point of view, what is missing?"

[Why hasn't it appeared yet? Could it be that the degree of despair is not deep enough?What else is missing? 】

【what are you waiting for? 】

[Waiting for... something very dazzling. 】

Unable to tell what it was like in his heart, Novia clenched his left hand hanging by his side into a fist, denying his imagination with a sullen face.

"It is impossible to create miracles simply by waiting. Despair is despair, and there is no reason for it to be reversed."

"As far as ordinary people are concerned, it is indeed true to say so."

"...?"

Faced with her puzzled expression, the young man took it for granted and continued to follow the brain circuit that others could not get.

"But, it's me who is looking forward to it so much!"

…………

Excuse me, who are you?Maria is pregnant with a young son?

"Although it's bad scum, as a stepping stone of hope, I still need to keep some talents. I'm ashamed to say," he lowered his eyelashes unnaturally, staring at the broken tiles under his feet, "The meager talents I have been given , probably something like 'luck'."

………………

The second disease is already terminally ill, there is no cure, wait for death, and leave.

Not noticing that the only listener had turned into a world-weary face, the young man was still chattering happily: "So as long as I am willing to sacrifice my life and wholeheartedly hope to get something in exchange for it-then, just wait!"

Novia is no longer angry.Not only not angry, but also a little disgusted, disgusted with the self who communicated seriously before.Look at you, what's the point of talking to Zhong Er?Not only did he fail to win the debate, but he was pulled into the field he was familiar with and defeated with rich experience, right?

So at this time, you have to answer "um", "yes", "yes", "good", "that's right", "come on, I believe you can do it" with a smile on your face. , if you cooperate with vigorous nodding and adoring eyes, you can often get amazing results beyond expectations!

Then, you with wisdom and philosophy will become as pale as a chrysanthemum, exuding the fragrance of years:)

So she took a deep breath, raised the corners of her mouth fifteen degrees, and said gently: "Well, you're right."

Unexpectedly, Zhong Er glanced at her, and said with disgust: "Because this is an irrefutable fact."

Novia: (╬￣dish￣)

Who was the last person who made her go crazy like this? ! !

never mind.Novi, swear words, no!

"That's true." She cleaned up the cracked smile and spread it on her face in a more appropriate way, "Then, what are you going to do, Komaeda, after hope comes?"

There was a moment of bewilderment on the young man's face.He didn't answer after all, just closed his eyes, and gradually revealed an extremely slender smile.

—he hadn't thought about it at all.

Novia's heart skipped a beat.If you call yourself a "stepping stone", are you planning to sacrifice yourself in the dark night before dawn?

……wrong.

Something is wrong.

Logically, there is a huge, fatal error that cannot be concealed.

"Komaeda thinks, what is the materialization of despair? Death?"

"And living without hope. Something like that."

"Hmm...but what Komaeda desires must have been born among the survivors, right?"

The young man seemed a little puzzled, but he answered her question obediently because the conversation was rare and philosophical.

"Of course, after all, what is dead is meaningless. Without talent, there is no value."

"That is to say, the living represent hope, and the dead who are eliminated are hopeless."

He didn't realize the hidden tricks in the soft words, he was just happy because he was understood.Not being denied, the girl who made the preparations narrowed her eyes, and the smile on the corner of her mouth showed a hint of sharpness.

"I know that Komaeda loves hope, from the bottom of his heart, even more than his own life. But why does he spread despair without scruple?"

"Didn't I say it, the only way to—"

"lie."

Novia coldly cut off his cliché, staring at the young man's froze eyes.

"Looking down on other people's lives also despises one's own life. Although one is desperate but sincerely loves hope. If both are true, then ideas and behaviors are completely left. Komaeda, do you know what usually causes this situation? ?”

A weak, dry air flow, carrying dust and ash, flew over in fine detail.Because it was baked by the flames, it looked extremely dry, and even almost took away the moisture from the skin.

He repeated hoarsely: "... what?"

She raised her face and replied calmly, "I can't help myself."

The young man burst out laughing, probably meant to be mocking.However, even the laughter trembled, with a hint of hysteria: "Are you kidding me?! Obviously, I——I—"

"It's just that the flaws are exposed? You can't justify yourself after just two sentences?"

Novia seized the opportunity to press forward step by step, and pressed forward fiercely: "I really look down on you, that is to say, you are always paralyzing yourself, right?! Rely on your twisted logic to hypnotize yourself, and personally deny what you are after. ——You also know that to test hope by despair is putting the cart before the horse!"

"Essentials? Fake! Expectations? Hypocrisy!!"

"Komaeda, wake up, don't be confused by those twists and turns. What you love and long for, then pursue it...become hope!!!"

……it's painful.

Something repressed in the depths of his consciousness—something he thought was dead, already confined in a cage—was screaming and shaking the shackles of old age.

He knelt on the ground with a splitting headache, his voice was so broken that he couldn't even speak: "Ah, ha... yes, but... it's useless... for me..."

The qualification to claim hope was lost as early as when she was forced to watch Nanami's execution.

"Even if you wanted to save me, you... came too late."

Death cannot be reversed.so--

"Late hopes, however, don't count."
