Peak of Hope is very large, and is divided into undergraduate and preparatory departments - not only is the distinction in name, the education, teachers, and students are all completely different, and even the school district is divided into two.
The undergraduate teaching building is guarded by security guards, and students from the reserve department are not allowed to enter. However, there is only one school gate anyway.
Now most of the students in the school have left. When Shibai was leaving the school under such circumstances, he unexpectedly saw Nanami Chiaki who had left the classroom very quickly after the bell rang, which surprised him a little.
Nanami Chiaki, who had been playing the game with her head down, looked up blankly in the direction of the voice, and spoke in her usual gentle and slow pace, "Motokichi-san...? So you haven't left yet."
"I should be the one asking this question, monitor." Shi Bai smiled and made up an excuse, "Because the school is too big, it took me a while to find my way around."
Nanami had no reason to doubt it, she nodded, "I see."
"So you haven't answered my question yet, monitor. They have all left now, right?" Shi Bai said without any malice, "Are the people you are waiting for the students in the preparatory subject?"
"Yeah." Nanami Chiaki nodded, and her response was equivalent to answering Shibai's two questions.
"Have you contacted her? After all, it's already very late..." Perhaps he had realized Nanami Chiaki's character, and knew that his question would not cause other problems, and the other party would not refuse to answer him, so he continued to maintain the distance that a new classmate should have and asked this question.
Hearing Shibai's question, Nanami Chiaki's expression was tinged with a layer of loss. She shook her head and said, "I can't get in touch..."
"Eh?" Shi Bai was startled. "Can't get in touch?"
Nanami Chiaki nodded. She didn’t know how to explain this, so she simply skipped the topic and replied, “We had originally agreed to continue playing the game, but from that day on, I couldn’t find Hinata-kun…”
As a high school-level game player, Nanami Chiaki didn't have a lot of common sense knowledge, and she wasn't very alert, and wasn't good at communicating with people. She just answered because she was asked. The campus was very quiet at this time, and there were only two of them at the school gate. They were wearing undergraduate uniforms, so they wouldn't be stopped by the security guards no matter what they did.
Even if you want to sleep on the floor at the gate, the security guards will only worry about the temperature dropping at night and what to do if the undergraduate students catch a cold. Moreover, simply standing at the gate and chatting will not attract their attention.
After only one day at this school, Shibai had already understood one thing - as long as you are an undergraduate student, you can basically do anything.
Through questions and answers, Shibai finally figured out why Nanami Chiaki was waiting here for someone. It was because some time ago she met a friend who was very good at playing preparatory games, and they played games together after school every day.
However, this classmate in the preparatory department was very concerned about talent. Then, from one day on, Nanami Chiaki never waited for the other party again, and could not find any news after phone or email.
"I'm worried about Hinata-kun."
"…Is that so?" Shibai is now only 1.57 meters tall, three centimeters shorter than Nanami Chiaki, but at this moment, he stretched out his hand and patted the other's head while Nanami Chiaki was looking at her in surprise.
Shi Bai smiled and said, "Although I can't help you with this matter, please allow me to bring you luck, squad leader."
"That Hinata-kun must be fine!"
Nanami Chiaki blinked blankly, and looking into those eyes that seemed even clearer in the dusk, reflecting the red sunset, she smiled faintly from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you, Monokichi-kun."
"Please don't be so polite, monitor." Shibai glanced at the location of the teaching building, "But waiting at the school gate all the time is not a solution. Monitor, do you know the class of that Hinata-kun?"
Chiaki Nanami blinked and shook her head. Even though they were very close because of playing games every day, Nanami always thought that this daily routine would continue, so she never asked Hinata-kun this question, which is why it is so difficult to find each other now.
After receiving such an answer, Shibai did not show a distressed expression, but continued to smile and said in a gentle tone: "Well, compared to the undergraduate course, there are a little more classes in the preparatory course... But, that Hinata classmate is in the same grade as us, right?"
"Um."
"Then, let's go to the preparatory department and take a look!" Shibai took two steps forward and said to Nanami Chiaki, "Instead of waiting passively like this, maybe we can get the answer by actively exploring."
Chiaki Nanami's eyes lit up and she nodded seriously, holding the game console in her hand and following Shibai's pace.
Although Shibai had only been in this school for one day, as mentioned earlier, he had a strong ability to find his way around. After a short while, he found the location of the freshman teaching building.
At this moment, Shibai paused for a moment. Noticing this, Nanami Chiaki looked at Shibai and asked, "What's wrong, Monokichi-kun?"
"No, there's nothing." Shi Bai smiled and said, "Let's go this way, squad leader."
It was not dark yet, and the sunset was beautiful. Shibai and Nanami Chiaki did not enter the classroom, but just walked around the corridor of the teaching building. After confirming that there was no one they were looking for, Nanami Chiaki was disappointed, but not surprised by the answer.
Shibai said comfortingly: "Maybe Hinata-san has just gone home. Let's come early tomorrow and give it a try."
Nanami Chiaki was not discouraged and nodded seriously, "I really trouble you today, Monokichi-kun."
Shi Bai narrowed his eyes, "Then please let me take you home, squad leader."
Chiaki Nanami subconsciously said “Huh?”
Shi Baidao said: "After all, the monitor is a girl. It's too late for her to go back at this time. It's too dangerous for a girl to be outside alone."
Chiaki Nanami thought for a moment and said, "Today, a new game was released..." She felt that it would not be a good idea to continue to trouble Monoyoshi.
Shi Bai, however, put his hands together and smiled, "That's really a coincidence, because I just moved here not long ago, and I was planning to go to the mall to buy some things."
Nanami Chiaki naturally would not refuse after all the talk came to this. Perhaps because she was the class monitor, Nanami Chiaki was born without any vigilance towards her classmates, and when there were people around her, she would completely become a so-called "head-down tribe", staring at the game console in her hand.
After being reminded by Shiba that it was unsafe, Nanami Chiaki casually replied, "Because I feel safe around Monokichi-kun."
Chiaki Nanami raised her eyes slightly from the game console, looked at Shibai with her slightly empty eyes, and said: "When I was with Hinata-kun, Hinata-kun would also hold me like Monokichi-kun..."
"This is very dangerous, squad leader." Shibauru shook his head helplessly, but did not forcefully stop Nanami Chiaki from continuing to play the game. He just paid more attention to prevent Nanami from bumping into anything.
However, with [Mokuyoshi] around, it would be very difficult for Nanami Chiaki to get into trouble, right?
Moreover, this kind of slow-moving character always reminds him of someone.
With a smile on his face, Shibai accompanied Nanami Chiaki to buy a new game. Then, after she casually said that it was very interesting, Nanami Chiaki seemed to have pressed some special button and became particularly enthusiastic in introducing the game to Shibai from beginning to end. Under this recommendation that was more dedicated than that of a shopping guide - looking at Nanami Chiaki's bright eyes, Shibai felt that no one could refuse each other.
"Games played together with everyone are the most fun." Chiaki Nanami said seriously.
And then, miraculously, there were several newest games in Shibai's schoolbag.
After sending Nanami Chiaki back, Shibai looked at his bulging schoolbag and happily took out all the books inside, leaving only his own books and the various games recommended by Nanami Chiaki. When he was about to close the schoolbag, Shibai hesitated for a moment and took out a book to make it look good.
After all, when it comes to refusing to talk to people, games and books are very important tools.
"Anyway, I didn't come to this world just to build good relationships with them." Shibai murmured softly, "Nanaha Chiaki is a key, the luck of being suspended from school..."
Shi Bai thought back to the scripts he had acted in and said with certainty: "This kind of guy, who sounds more metaphysical and inexplicable, is definitely a very important point."
Shibai did not waste time during the afternoon shopping. He made full use of Nanami Chiaki's personality and got some information about the classmate named Komaeda Nagito from her casual words.
For example, Komaeda's luck is very strange. Just like when playing games like Monopoly, Komaeda is definitely not lucky enough to get everything 666 at the beginning and pass the level directly.
He will experience bankruptcy, bankruptcy, imprisonment, and always be at the last level, but before the end of the game, he will suddenly sprint up, and the ways he does this are nothing more than "inheriting" all the funds of the current number one in the game, obtaining insurance money from an insurance company, etc.
Although the process is very strange, Komaji is definitely the winner in the end - only Nanami Chiaki, a super high school level game player, has a certain possibility of drawing with him.
When talking about this, Nanami Chiaki smiled, "Souda-san has always disliked playing games with Komaeda-san."
Sotada Kazuichi, a super high school level mechanic, for some reason becomes particularly unlucky whenever he encounters anything related to Nagito Komaeda.
But Shibai grasped a key point. Rather than saying that Soda Kazuichi was unlucky, it would be more accurate to say that his bad luck was all reflected on Komaeda Nagito's good luck... No wonder this guy had a slightly complicated reaction when Komaeda Nagito was mentioned.
"It's a completely different kind of luck from Monokichi's." Shibai lay on the bed, looking at the empty ceiling, expressionless, giving his originally gentle and delicate face a mask-like feeling. "I'm a little curious. I really want to meet this Komaeda-kun."
The author has something to say: After seeing the comments, I realized that the subject of the previous chapter was a bit controversial. In fact, I didn't deliberately want to write about their cold violence or school violence. It was simply their personality setting. These ten or so children all have very selfish personalities. At the beginning, Teacher Yukizome had to use threats, inducements and other methods to force them together, and it was not easy for them to slowly accept this class as they got along with each other.
As a result, at this time, the favorite teacher left and an inexplicable transfer student came. They were already very lucky that they didn't explode, so they naturally rejected Shibai's arrival, so it became the so-called cold violence.
Moreover...these people in the 77th generation are really good to their own people, but really mean to outsiders - for example, Saionji's sharp tongue, Komaeda's words to those without talent, Nanami ignoring others playing games, Koizumi hiding the fact that his friend killed Kuzuryu's sister, etc. But such children, in the game, will choose to die for their partners to survive.
I don't dislike them at all. On the contrary, if I didn't like them, I wouldn't be able to write about them.
——That being said, if it were based on Banyan's personality, he would approach them without leaving any traces and then have good relationships with everyone. But this guy Shibai... he has the script of a villain, face covering. He is too lazy to build good relationships, and his mentality is "Do whatever you want, I'm busy looking for someone."
All I can say is that Shibai came to this class at the worst time. Don't hate them because of my description.
