“What should I do if my children are always reluctant to come back? They are all working hard in other places, but I really want to see them.” The elderly man looked worried.

"It doesn't matter. After a long and lonely wait, when you see your child again, your happiness will be greater than you imagined." Nagito Komaeda said, "So, keep waiting, in order to make this happiness even greater."

The old man looked at Nagito Komaeda blankly, "Eh? What did you say, young man?"

"Sorry, sorry!" Hinata Hajime quickly came over and pushed Komaeda Nagito away, "Don't listen to him, just treat him as a human mascot."

"Oh, so that's it." The old man suddenly realized.

So, while Nagito Komaeda was complaining, "Hinata-kun, you're really going too far," Hinata Hajime listened to the old man's troubles again and provided him with a solution. The old man left satisfied and silently praised Hinata Hajime in his heart.

As for the young man with white hair, he doesn't seem qualified to be a mascot.

After seeing off the last customer, Hyuga Sou closed the store. He sighed and looked at Komaeda Nagito, "Don't make trouble, Komaeda."

"Huh? I didn't." Nagito Komaeda said, "I really was offering a solution, but it seems like they didn't understand."

"Since you know they can't understand you, don't try anymore." Hinata Sou was helpless.

Nagito Komaeda smiled, "But, seeing Hinata-kun solve problems for everyone with hope, seeing those people come in with sorrow on their faces and leave with joy for the future, I can't help but want to try to help everyone like Hinata-kun."

Komaeda Nagito sighed and said, "It is indeed very difficult."

"Then let me make some humane suggestions." Hinata Hajime said.

"I'll keep an eye on it." Nagito Komaeda stroked his chin, "But there's no news today, right?"

"Is this how you always get here, Hinata-kun? You keep looking for possible desperate incidents in various ways and then solve them. Isn't that too passive?"

Hinata Hajime looked at him, "So what do you think we should do?"

"We should take the initiative to find the Despair Host that will be chosen by the Despair Fragment, and then wait for the Despair Fragment to come." Komaeda Nagito nodded, looking very much in agreement with what he said, "This will definitely be the fastest way to collect the Hope Fragments."

"I haven't seen the Fragment of Hope yet. What does it look like? White? Gold? But it must be full of a glow that makes people yearn for it! It's awesome!"

Hinata Hajime twitched his lips, "Are you sure you can find the person chosen by the Fragment of Despair...ah."

By the way, Komaeda Nagito's talent and luck, all the probability events that are completely uncertain for ordinary people are 100% for Komaeda Nagito. His lucky physique is enough to allow him to perfectly encounter a desperate host.

Okay, that's one way.

Only for Nagito Komaeda.

"Are you going out to look for it?" Hinata Hajime pointed outside the door. "When are you going to come back next time?"

"Hinata-kun, are you impatient for me to leave? Isn't that a bit too much?" Nagito Komaeda looked sad. "I didn't expect that Hinata-kun would dislike me. It's really sad."

"No, it's just that you are the only one who has this level of luck."

Nagito Komaeda looked at Hyuga Hajime, and after a moment he spoke, "I see. Are you planning to use me to attract a desperate host?"

"…You were the one who proposed it just now."

But Nagito Komaeda continued as if he hadn't heard her: "Come to think of it, when he was in the Future Agency, Hinata-kun liked to use strange despair to attract the hopeless remnants, constantly replicating a certain private property of Enoshima Junko to deceive others, and he looked completely hopeless."

Hinata Hajime's mouth twitched.

Isn't it clear to him that it's fake?

"Are you sure?" Hinata Hajime asked, "Hope? Me?"

"Eh? Isn't Hinata-kun a symbol of hope for ordinary people?" Nagito Komaeda looked surprised, then he turned around and added, "Except for Artificial Hope classmate."

Hinata Hajime looked at him, "I seem to have told you that I am now both Hinata Hajime and Kamukura Izuru. Is it not good for you to say bad things about me in front of me like this?"

Komaeda Nagito looked at Hinata Hajime with a silent and strange look, and after a moment he smiled.

"I'll pay more attention next time."

After saying that, he left without even looking at Hinata Hajime.

Hinata Hajime watched him leave, and after a moment he sat down on a chair.

Is he angry?

【Don't ask me questions that already have answers. 】

[Well, I've noticed it to some extent.] Hinata Hajime leaned back in his chair, [Whether it's Komaeda or Nanami, everyone has already discovered that I'm not in a fusion state with Izuku. After all, I can't maintain this state forever.]

Hinata Sou closed his eyes and when he opened them again, they turned into a light green with the gentle glow of an ordinary person.

[I was just wondering how I should tell him?] Hinata Hajime murmured, [Komaeda is such a smart guy, but he never made it clear. Does he want me to tell him in person?]

Just then, Hinata Hajime heard a small knock on the door. He looked outside and saw a young man looking cautiously inside from behind the glass door.

Sawada Tsunayoshi.

Hinata Hajime walked over and opened the door. The boy timidly looked inside. After making sure that Komaeda Nagito was not there, he looked at Hinata Hajime, "Well, can I still entrust you with this?"

“The store is closed now.”

"Oh, sorry." Sawada Tsunayoshi lowered his head, looking very disappointed.

"But I can make an exception once." Hinata Sou smiled and invited him in. "Don't tell anyone else."

Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes lit up and he nodded vigorously, "Yes! I will never tell anyone!"

Just like that, Hinata Hajime invited Sawada Tsunayoshi to come into the store. Sawada Tsunayoshi put down his schoolbag and sat on the soft chair. Hinata Hajime brought him a glass of water and he quickly thanked him. He looked like a friendly and gentle person, the kind of person who would not choose to bear grudges even if he was bullied.

Holding a glass of warm water, Sawada Tsunayoshi took a sip. Seeing that he seemed to be much more relaxed, Hinata Sou spoke.

"So, what do you want to entrust this time?"

"It's like this, sir, do you have any winning tips?" Sawada Tsunayoshi said a little embarrassedly, "It's like this, today I was challenged by a senior of a female classmate, and Reborn said I must win. Although I think I can't win at all, but, it's already like this, if I don't work hard, Reborn will threaten me with super dangerous weapons."

Hinata Hajime fell into deep thought. After a moment, he asked a question, "Why did this female classmate's senior challenge me to a fight?"

Sawada Tsunayoshi: …

He smiled awkwardly and said nothing.

Wuwuwu, you can't say that it's because he confessed his love to Kyoko in his underwear and Kyoko got scared, so the senior who had a crush on Kyoko came to avenge her!

It's all Riboud's fault!

"Anyway, this is my commission!" Sawada Tsunayoshi rummaged through his pocket and finally found a handful of change. "This is my saved pocket money!"

"I don't take money from children." Hinata Hajime said, "If you want to fight, do you want to become stronger in a short period of time?"

"right!"

Hinata Hajime looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi.

He was shorter than his peers, and he kept his head down habitually whether he was walking or sitting. His hands unconsciously grasped the fabric of his trousers, and he was a little timid. He did not look like someone who could improve his abilities in a short period of time. However, looking at his eyes, Hinata Hajime could not say no.

[De-Ryu, is there any fighting method that can be learned in a short time and temporarily have offensive power? ]

【Think for yourself.】

【I asked you because I couldn’t think of it. 】

【Boring, don't want to do it. 】

Okay okay.

In Kamuzuru's opinion, he probably thinks, like Komaeda Nagito, that ordinary people's troubles are very boring. After all, even Hinata Hajime sometimes feels that their troubles are too commonplace, and they are just small predicaments that can be solved by thinking more.

It's not even to the point where I can ask others for help.

"Didn't your tutor tell you how to win?" Hinata Hajime asked. "Although I'm still confused, he said he was from Italy and was your tutor."

Sawada Tsunayoshi lay on the table with a look of vomiting soul, "...Although he is a tutor, he likes to laugh at me more. He just wants me to hurry up and then finish the battle in a desperate struggle."

"Desperately fighting to the death is indeed unreliable."

"So sir, you are my only hope." Sawada Tsunayoshi's eyes were filled with tears. "Please teach me some fighting methods that will not kill me!"

【Outflow.】

Kamijou Izuru lowered his head and ignored Hinata Hajime's call.

[You have a talent for fighting, right?]

[This has nothing to do with collecting fragments of hope. ]

[I'm just trying my best to help others. Even he's working so hard.] Hinata Souma: [If you help someone who works hard, you might get something good in return.]

Kamukura Izuru raised his head and glanced at Sawada Tsunayoshi. After a moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly. The boy opposite him looked at him innocently. After a moment, he suddenly rubbed his arms and looked around as if cold water had suddenly pierced his neck.

"What's wrong with you?" Hinata Hajime asked.

"No, it's okay..." Sawada Tsunayoshi quickly put down his hand.

I don't know why, but I always feel like someone is watching him.

[Okay, let's do it. It's up to him to decide how much he can learn.] Kamuzura Izuru said calmly.

Hinata Hajime smiled and said, "I understand."

At that moment, Sawada Tsunayoshi's hands froze. He looked at Hinata Hajime in front of him, and suddenly an indescribable terrifying feeling enveloped him. He almost couldn't help but run away. Then, he saw Hinata Hajime closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes turned red.

Eh? Red?

If the feeling Hinata Hajime gave him before was full of gentleness and friendliness, the feeling Hinata Hajime gave him now was emptiness. The fear that came from nowhere kept invading his space, causing him to get goosebumps all over his body.

Kamuzuru Izuru stood up and said, "Follow me."

"Huh? Where are you going?" Sawada Tsunayoshi almost jumped up.

Even the voice has become much colder!

"I'll teach you how to fight." Kamukura Izuru opened the door of the shop and looked directly at Sawada Tsunayoshi with his red eyes.

Sawada Tsunekichi hesitated for a moment, then stood up and quickly followed Kamukura Izuru out.

Although he felt a little scared, Tsunayoshi Sawada felt that the gentleman in front of him would never hurt him. Although he was full of empty indifference, these sharp objects never stung anyone. Tsunayoshi Sawada thought: The manager of the Yorozuya is so powerful.

You can become an extremely gentle person, or you can become a cold and resolute person.

Kamiya Izuru brought Sawada Tsunayoshi to an open space. On the way here, the street lights came on, casting a little light on the dim road surface. Kamiya Izuru stood under the lights, and his red eyes seemed to be hidden in the darkness.

On the wall next to him, Reborn was sitting and looking at the two people in the open space.

"Where did this guy come from?" Reborn opened the newspaper in his hand. "Before I came here, I had never heard of a handyman shop here, and a strange manager."

After flipping through the information disguised as a newspaper, Reborn looked at the two people in the open space again.

"Anyway, let me see how good his fighting ability is first."
