Chapter 109 is possible, but unnecessary.
It was late at night.
As a student, wandering around the city alone at night was obviously not a good choice. Although Tsukino and Chiya, like any underage student who goes out alone, felt that they shouldn't encounter any danger, they ultimately chose to return to their hotel room after dinner.
To avoid unnecessary disputes, it would be best for him to be cautious during his time in Yokohama.
After learning just the tip of the iceberg of what kind of turbulent undercurrents were hidden behind the city of Yokohama, Tsukino and Chiya could no longer view the city with normal mindsets.
Just like when they unexpectedly learned that Ouma Kokichi was going to enroll in Hope's Peak, Tsukino and Chiya began to feel that this school must be more than just a place that recruits students with outstanding talents in various fields.
The series of events that followed proved that Hope Peak Academy was indeed no ordinary place.
Tsukino and Chiya thought to themselves while holding the hairdryer.
My thoughts are really... before I knew it, I was thinking about that person again.
He had just stepped out of the en-suite bathroom, his dark hair still damp and clinging to his forehead and neck. Although Qianye had given it a perfunctory wipe, water droplets continued to drip from the ends of his hair, some winding down his skin and disappearing into the loose neckline of his pajama top, designed for comfort. The ends of his hair hanging down to his chest gradually darkened the light-colored fabric of his pajama top.
Before Tsukino and Chiya went into the bathroom to take a shower, he did not turn off the TV, which he had left on for a while.
After turning it on, the buzzing noise from the hairdryer immediately filled the entire room, instantly drowning out the sound of the television.
Tsukino and Chiya tilted their heads slightly. He held a hairdryer in one hand and ran the other hand through their thick, slightly disheveled hair. He casually tousled it, allowing the hot air to dry it as quickly as possible.
His eyes were fixed on the television screen. Although all he could hear was the noise of the hairdryer, it didn't stop him from getting the information from the subtitles at the bottom of the screen.
The television was broadcasting news from Yokohama, and right now it was on the topic of warning citizens to be wary of the Mafia. Apparently, something unpleasant had happened somewhere in Yokohama today, and innocent passersby were almost caught in the crossfire.
This place is indeed very dangerous...
Upon seeing this, even though he had mentally prepared himself, Tsukino and Chiya still couldn't help but feel a jolt in their eyelids. He suddenly remembered their conversation in the dormitory room that day when he had a private talk with Hinata.
If we're talking about danger, the future trajectory of this world was originally quite perilous.
Junko Enoshima... Even though Tsukino and Chiya aren't familiar with her yet, they have to admit that she's quite an amazing person to have achieved what she has in the future.
future……
Hajime Hinata once said that in his future memories, he had seen Tsukino and Chiya.
However, Tsukino and Chiya's first reaction was to ask about Ohma Kokichi. After receiving Hinata's nod in agreement, Chiya, finally having made up her mind, fell into deep thought.
At that time, Hyuga Hajime considerately said, "However, if you and Tsukino want to know more specific things, it would be better to ask Ohma yourself."
“While I have some inferences, I feel… some things are better left for Ohma to say himself,” Hyuga Hajime said. “I have no right to say anything related to him.”
“I understand.” Tsukino and Chiya snapped out of their daze. “Thank you, Hinata.”
Similarly, Tsukino and Chiya, who knew some inside information that might make the situation even more bizarre because they had spent more time with Ohma Kokichi, would not tell Hinata Hajime about those things without his knowledge.
The two exchanged a glance and tacitly reached a consensus, skipping the topic of Wang Ma Xiaoji.
Then, Hyuga Hajime described the scene where he would meet Tsukino and Chiya in the future.
Having lost his reason for enrolling, Hyuga Hajime naturally wouldn't have met Tsukino and Chiya, who are now his classmates in the current timeline, in the preparatory course class.
He actually met Tsukino and Chiya in the relatively distant future.
At that time, Hajime Hinata and his companions appeared in time to resolve the crisis within the Future Organization, gained a new companion named Ryota Mitarai, and then traveled around for this world that had not yet recovered from the turmoil.
Everything is gradually getting better. Although the impact of Junko Enoshima has not completely disappeared, at least everyone can see a glimmer of hope, despair is gradually fading, and the world is gradually returning to normal.
During this time, due to the reputation of the Despair Remnants, quite a few people actively sought out trouble. However, for Hyuga Hajime and his companions, there was nothing they couldn't solve by working together.
Then one day, Hajime Hinata met a peer who took the initiative to come to him.
He was a black-haired boy wearing a simple white shirt, with his long black hair neatly tied into a high ponytail at the back of his head.
His features were clean, and his eyes were black, just like his hair. Unlike the people Hyuga Hajime had met before, his gaze was calm, but it was not quite the same calm that Hyuga Hajime had when he was still in the period when he had lost his original personality, during the time when Kamukura Izuru.
"You are Kamukura Izuru?"
He said, "I hope to work with you."
*******
A few days later.
Tsukino and Chiya sat in a café, flipping through a book they had bought a couple of days ago at a bookstore near their hotel.
The café is a highly-rated one in Yokohama. Although it's a bit far from the hotel, it's not unreasonable for Tsukino and Chiya, as students with plenty of free time during their vacation, to have come all this way here, right?
In fact, Tsukino and Chiya had also heard of another very good coffee shop in Yokohama. Someone they knew had been there when he visited Yokohama and mentioned that the food there was quite good.
Unfortunately, that coffee shop was not among the options for Tsukino and Chiya's trip.
Firstly, the shop was located downstairs from the legendary Armed Detective Agency. Tsukino and Chiya had heard many stories about this peculiar detective agency and did not intend to run into any of its members for the time being.
Secondly, there might be people he wants to see in this coffee shop.
At the far end of the café, a boy leaned back lazily in his chair, his head slightly lowered. His fine black hair fell down as he looked down, almost touching the pages of the novel he was holding.
Tsukino and Chiya each held a book in one hand, while their other hand rested on the open pages.
Although he had already finished reading this part, he didn't rush to turn the page. The black-haired boy, who had been keeping his head slightly lowered, subtly raised his head and glanced in a certain direction out of the corner of his eye. Then he closed his eyes and looked at the other side.
A few seconds later, Tsukino and Chiya lowered their heads again and turned to the next page.
For the past few days, Tsukino and Chiya have been living the ordinary life of tourists, just like they are now.
Of course, while intentionally avoiding potentially troublesome situations, he didn't overdo it either. —Although he didn't think anyone would be so idle as to suspect his intentions and investigate his movements, what if they were?
Therefore, Tsukino and Chiya will not avoid certain places too obviously, which will instead reveal some clues.
Tsukino and Chiya turned another page in the book.
He had only recently bought this novel, and he had already read most of it. To be honest, he originally bought it partly to kill time, but the content was exactly the kind of thing Tsukino and Chiyo liked, and before he knew it, he had read quite a bit and was eager to know what would happen next.
Just then, Tsukino and Chiya saw the shadow that had suddenly been cast on the pages of the book, blocking part of the light.
"Ah, excuse me." The person who approached his table was an adult male. Seeing Tsukino and Chiya look up at him, the man gave a somewhat embarrassed smile. "Business here is much better than I expected... May I sit here? There shouldn't be anyone else here, right?"
"..." Tsukino and Chiya stared expressionlessly at the man who had suddenly interrupted them for a few seconds before finally nodding slowly just before he was about to ask a question. "Okay."
