"It's fun to crush ants one by one, but it's really boring to do it over and over again!" Hiyoko Saionji puffed her face and lay on the table, complaining to Shinki Koizumi who was adjusting the camera next to her. "You think so, right, Koizumi-san?"

"Hold on a little longer." Koizumi Shinki said this, but his slightly wrinkled brows never relaxed.

In Hiyori Saionji's eyes, all human beings except the ones she cares about and likes are just empty air, ants and pigs that have no need to exist in this world.

But more than a year ago, when she performed on stage for the first time after leaving school—in front of those desperate party members, her stage was filled with blood, which made Hiyoko Saionji vomit for a long time after she finished. She really didn't care about other humans, but that didn't mean she could let blood stain her hands.

If Miota Yuibuki hadn't been by her side and partnered with her at the time, she would have been so competitive that her scalp would have tingled, and she would have ignored everything with a blank mind. She probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until the end of the performance.

In fact, even a person as carefree as Miota Yuibuki had nightmares for many days. Miota Yuibuki was just simple and straightforward, but she never thought that her music would bring death. In the end, it was Mikan Miki who prescribed some emotionally calming sleeping pills, which finally helped them to calm down.

It was only when faced with such a scene that they realized that some words are not just said casually.

After seeing their state, Sonia, who had raised the issue, had a cold expression on her face, completely different from the gentle princess she had been in class. She bluntly told them that they couldn't hold on and that they should return to the protective shield of Hope's Peak.

Hiyoko Saionji was angry at the time. She was never a person who could persist, but her favorite sister Koizumi, the only sister who had always taken care of her from the beginning, did not give up. She could not let Koizumi Shinki face all this alone. So after stabbing Sonya a few times, she wanted to pull Koizumi Shinki away.

But Koizumi Shinki was not pulled by her.

Koizumi Maki's expression was extremely pale, because at this moment her favorite camera was filled with scenes that would never appear in her previous world. The worst thing she had ever encountered was what happened after being targeted by Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko's sister - at that time, her friend accidentally killed Kuzuryu's sister in order to protect herself, and then was retaliated by Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko and lost his life.

She knew her good friend well, and her classmate, Koizumi Shinki, knew him as well. However, she was still timid and cowardly, and did not dare to confront Kuzuryu Touhiko. She just thought that she must be overthinking, but that was not the case at all.

On the contrary, in this situation, Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko, with the smell of gunpowder on his body and Heyayama Peiko standing behind him, tore off the gauze that had been floating on them.

"Your friend, the guy named Sato, died in my hands." Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko glanced at Koizumi Shinki and said sarcastically, "I really don't understand why guys like you want to follow us? Or do you still think this is just a ridiculous game of playing house like in school? This time I think Sonya is right, so go back and play the same game of playing house as before, kid."

At that time, everyone had just experienced something so depressing and hopeless that they had never experienced before. Only Sonia, the princess, Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko, the gangster, and Hetani Sanpeiko, the swordsman, did not have any other reaction. The others were all feeling uncontrollably nauseous, and if they continued like this, they might just be on the verge of going crazy.

Even the calm and indifferent Akane Suzuri was not used to this kind of thing. She looked at the two quarreling parties helplessly, not knowing how to persuade them to stop fighting, and even began to doubt whether her choice was correct.

When conflicts arise among classmates, it is often Teacher Yukizome who intervenes with a smile and soothes them with a gentle voice. When the emotions are no longer so intense, Teacher Yukizome will analyze in a gentle voice who is right and who is wrong. Finally, after one of them apologizes, the other will also say sorry dryly and somewhat embarrassedly.

But now, Teacher Yukizome was left in Hope's Peak by them - subconsciously, everyone chose to protect Teacher Yukizome.

So, without Teacher Yukizome, Akane subconsciously wanted to look for Nanami Chiaki, but she didn't find her. Nanami Chiaki had been adapting to the new game operation during this period, and wanted to help everyone. She hadn't slept well for several days, and then, at the suggestion of Nagito Komaeda, she was knocked down by a drink with sleeping pills from Shinoki Mikan, who was now taking care of her in another room.

By the way, that Komaeda guy is also missing.

Hiyoko Saionji really can't accept others saying bad things about Sister Koizumi. It was obvious that everyone had chosen to leave Hope's Peak with them with good intentions and embarked on this path, but now they say such things. What is this?

Hiyoko Saionji has always been a bad-tempered person. She only suppressed some of her temper in front of her sister Koizumi, but it doesn't mean that she is really good-tempered. But just when she was about to say something hurtful, she was stopped by the pale-faced Koizumi Shinki.

"——Sister Koizumi?!" Hiyoko Xiionji was particularly dissatisfied.

In this situation, Koizumi Shinho took a deep breath. She was not made of clay and did not have a temper. After experiencing these things, her mind was now in a mess.

But even so, she understood what Sonya and Kuzuryu Touhiko meant by saying this. In this class, everyone cherished the relationship between everyone, including Kuzuryu Touhiko and Sonya.

At the beginning, everyone was immature and thought that since we were all together, what was there to be afraid of? So they left the campus without thinking about the consequences, and did things they would never do before in order to implement Sonya's plan.

All this was more difficult than they had imagined. Sonya was not a god, and she could not do everything perfectly, so she gave up. She regretted it, and she did not want to involve her classmates anymore.

The same thing happened to Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko. The two of them just didn't want them to continue like this.

So Koizumi Maki raised her eyes again, and her beautiful red eyes were filled with a more determined look than ever before. The light contained in them was so dazzling that it was impossible to meet her eyes.

"Jiuzulong," she said firmly, "I owe you an apology for what happened to your sister."

Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko mentioned her friend Sato, and even though Koizumi Shinki knew it, he couldn't help but want to stab back at this time. Koizumi Shinki didn't look at it, but he knew that Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko's face would be very ugly.

Koizumi Shinki knew that he was exposing his classmate's wounds and at the same time rubbing salt into his own wounds, but now, all his emotions could no longer be suppressed.

Koizumi Maki bowed deeply to where Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko was standing, "I never thought Sato would do such a thing, and I am also wrong, and the mistake is entirely because of me!"

"If I had the courage to speak to Kuzuryu-san (referring to my sister) at the beginning instead of avoiding her all the time... If I hadn't been a coward and retreated all the time..."

"If it weren't for my attitude, Sato would never have had a conflict with Kuzuryu-san because of me. You can even say that I have been using my friend to let her help me deal with the conflict that I should have solved...!"

"Even though I knew that Sato had killed Kuzuryu-san, I still chose to pretend that I didn't know and even helped her hide it... It was all because of my inaction!"

"If the world hadn't been in such trouble, I would have kept these words in my heart for the rest of my life... I don't ask for your forgiveness, Kuzuryu-san."

Having said this, Koizumi Shinki's expression became firm again, and her back was particularly straight at this moment. "I don't ask for your forgiveness, and I will accept any revenge from you."

"I've realized... the world is what it is now because of strong [negative emotions]. If I keep holding all my worries in my heart, one day, no matter if I'm in Hope's Peak or in this bad environment... I won't be able to hold on and will be infected by these emotions."

"By then I won't even need to act. I will truly be reduced to a state where I will be no different from the people now..."

"The matter of Kuzuryu-san and Sato has always been a knot in my heart... I know that my current behavior is excessive, but I just selfishly want to stop being tortured by such emotions and not fall into the same desperate and crazy people, so I need to vent my emotions."

"I agreed to Sonya's plan myself. No one forced me. Everything now is my own choice."

"I will try my best to hold on and keep my original intention. If I still fail in the end, please get rid of me as soon as possible. Because I am not sure whether I will expose Sonya's plan by then, and then... if it really develops like that, I will be doomed."

Koizumi Shinki said this. She knows herself better than anyone else.

Most of the people present at the moment did not know that there was such a story between Koizumi Maki and Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko. Hiyoko Saionji had completely forgotten her intention to say harsh words. She carefully pulled at Koizumi Maki's clothes, with a look of helplessness on her face.

The expression on Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko's face was very stiff. He never expected Koizumi Maki to say such a thing.

To be honest, the death of my sister was related to Koizumi Shinki. It is impossible that he had never been angry. However, Sato, the direct murderer, died in his revenge, so there was no need to continue what happened afterwards. This is how the underworld works. Once the past is forgotten, they will not bring up the past again.

He who said these words now, stepping on Koizumi Shinhiro's sore spot, is the one who truly does not have the qualities that a young gangster should have.

The emotional appeal of the outside world was extremely terrifying. Even someone as steadfast as him was somewhat affected.

Sonya's originally tough expression softened, and she looked at Koizumi Maki and said, "Koizumi-san..."

After letting out her emotions for a moment, she said to everyone present in her still clumsy but distinctive Japanese: "Mr. Koizumi is right, psychologists are very important, but I can't find such a doctor now, and I can't trust them. All emotional and psychological problems can only be solved by ourselves."

"If you can't hold on... please go back to school and say that I forced you to leave together." Sonya said, "Please don't feel any burden in your heart, because I want to protect you as much as I want to protect my country."

"Only when everyone is well can I be sure that my heart will not be twisted." The blonde queen's expression was as pure as an angel.

"Wuwuwuwu Miss Sonia! I will follow Miss Sonia forever!!" Souichi Souji, who came in at some point, left tears in his eyes. Everyone reacted in unison, and stepped back a long distance as if they were disgusted.

At everyone's reaction, Sotada Kazuichi was a little angry, but when faced with Miss Sonya who had the same reaction, he sniffed his body with a tearful face and said, "Is it really that smelly? Does the gasoline smell on me really smell that strong?"

"Not at all." Sonya said this, and then walked further and further away from Soda Kazuichi with a smile on her face.

The fighting here makes it feel like we are back in school. It is also the first time in a while that everyone is so relaxed.

At this time, Kuzuryu Fuyuhiko said casually: "One life for one life, my revenge has long been over, that matter is over."

“…I’m sorry about that.”

The sound behind was so quiet that it was almost inaudible.

Although she heard it clearly, Hiyoko Saionji chuckled and put her hands on her ears. "Who was that person who was so imposing just now? Why didn't I hear anything? His presence is even weaker than that of an ant!"

The expression on Koizumi Maki's face also broke at this time. She pulled Saionji Hiyori who was making a face, and her expression became exceptionally gentle.

Nagito Komaeda, who had been standing at the door without going in, was typing on the cell phone that had been debugged by a mechanic with a smile on his face.

[Please don't worry, those who are talented and full of hope, who seem to be shining, are all excellent beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

And I was lucky! I was able to witness the brilliance of hope colliding with hope.

I was so touched to realize that I could become a shining stepping stone for "hope". I will do my best and I hope to see the absolute hope ahead with my own eyes.

[Speaking of which, I'm going to tell you something in secret. It seems that everyone is hoping that you will be the absolute "hope" to defeat "despair", Monokichi-kun.]

The author has something to say: Komaeda: Everyone wants you to be hope, are you touched?

Shi Bai: So I came back in despair. Are you excited?

ps: Yesterday's comments were a bit polarized, one side was incomprehensible, the other side was bushi. The question should be whether or not you have watched Bullet? So today I wrote a little bit and then, look at my column avatar - this time it's not a Q version! It's proportional! Cat ears and all that -!
