Nagito Komaeda got what he wanted and decided to leave late at night.

"Although I am just a scum, I am still lucky enough to find a desperate host." Nagito Komaeda said this after Hinata Hajime asked: "Don't worry, it won't be that easy to die. If it wasn't for the death of hope, I certainly wouldn't let it happen."

Hinata Hajime leaned against the door frame and looked at Komaeda Nagito subtly, "Promise me one thing first."

"Promise of what?"

"You go to find a despair host, not to find a person, artificially stimulate him to become a despair carrier, and then wait for the despair fragments to come to you."

Komaeda Nagito and Hinata Hajime stared at each other.

After a moment, Nagito Komaeda laughed, "Haha, how could that be? I'm not some scary white devil, so of course I wouldn't do such a thing."

"No, I think it's necessary to take precautions, so, promise?" Hinata Hajime said.

"Okay, okay, Hyuga-kun really understands me." Komaeda Nagito sighed. He spoke in a rather helpless tone, as if he couldn't do anything to you. "I promise Hyuga-kun that I will never artificially control the spread of despair to attract despair fragments. Is that okay?"

Hinata Hajime opened the door, "Be careful."

Looking at the open door, Nagito Komaeda looked at Hyuga Hajime subtly, "Hyuga-kun, do you believe me?"

"There's nothing I can do if I don't believe it. Since I can't stop it, I can only believe it." Hinata Hajime said, "You'd better not take such a biased approach. I'm already tired of dealing with desperate incidents, and I don't want to have to take on the job of cleaning up your mess."

"I see. That's why you don't believe me, but you can't stop me... Hinata-kun, you are so incompetent when you say there's no way to stop me. You can't say no, whether you are Hinata-kun or Kamiya-kun!"

“Be hopeful…”

Komaeda Nagito didn't finish his words because Hinata Hajime pushed him out and closed the shop door in front of him.

Facing the closed wooden door, Nagito Komaeda sighed.

"That's too much. At least listen to me."

Anyway, we finally got rid of Nagito Komaeda.

Hinata Hajime breathed a sigh of relief. He went to the kitchen to take a look and found that the instant lunch box he bought from the convenience store had been eaten. Hinata Hajime opened the refrigerator door and saw that the inside of the refrigerator was cleaner than his desk. There was really not even a packet of salt inside.

He remembered that he had never cooked a proper meal since he came here, and mostly just found a place to eat.

He does have several notebooks already, which record some news that Hinata Sou has heard that he might be interested in. He has investigated some of them, but so far, everything is normal.

Taking his keys and cell phone, Hinata Hajime went out. When he opened the door of the store, Komaeda Nagito was nowhere to be seen. Hinata Hajime was not worried about that guy. Compared with other people, Komaeda Nagito made people worry more about whether he would hurt others than his safety.

【Is there anything you want to eat? 】

【no.】

[There is no difference between asking you and not asking.] Hinata Sou sighed. He looked around in his white shirt. A gust of wind blew and stung his body. He then noticed that he should probably wear a new coat.

It is spring now, winter has just passed, and the weather is still relatively warm during the day with the sun, but at night the cold wind reveals its true nature, chilling people to the bone.

Hinata Hajime looked around. Although it was not early yet, it was not time to rest for everyone living in Namimori Town, so the lights of the snack bars and bars nearby were turned on. Hinata Hajime took a fancy to a ramen restaurant and a sushi restaurant.

After thinking for a moment, Hinata Hajime entered the sushi shop.

"Welcome!" Hinata Hajime heard a greeting as he walked in. The middle-aged man who was making sushi smiled brightly at Hinata Hajime, and the young man who was helping also said words of welcome.

Looks good.

Hinata Hajime sat down, took the menu and ordered some signature sushi. The owner started to get busy after receiving the menu. The helping boy cleaned up the dishes of the previous person, and then he brought a plate of thick omelette and placed it on Hinata Hajime's table.

"Please use it!"

"I didn't order this." Hinata Hajime looked at him, "Did you go to the wrong table?"

"No, I'm treating you." The boy smiled and said, "Come to think of it, I felt like you when you came in. Are you the owner of that handyman shop over there?"

Hinata Hajime looked at him, "...Ah, this is correct."

"I'm so lucky to have you come to our restaurant to eat sushi. I guarantee that our sushi is really delicious!" Yamamoto Takeshi sat down. "I can treat you to dinner. Can I ask you to take a commission?"

Hinata Hajime slowly lowered his head to look at the thick omelette, then looked at Yamamoto Takeshi, "By contrast, tell me first, what are you going to commission?"

"It wasn't me who asked you to do this, it was one of my classmates." Yamamoto Takeshi: "She actually wanted to ask you something, but her mother was always very strict with her, so she couldn't go, so she asked me to do this at school. I was planning to go there this weekend."

Picking up a piece of thick omelette and putting it in his mouth, Hinata nodded, "I understand. What next?"

Seeing that Hinata Hajime was about to accept the request, Yamamoto Takeshi's eyes lit up. He turned and ran back to the kitchen, brought out the sushi his father had made, placed it next to Hinata Hajime, and began to talk about the commission.

Yamamoto Takeshi is very popular among girls at school. He is also very friendly to his classmates. He even went to help Sawada Tsunayoshi who was victim of campus violence. It was because of this that the girl found Yamamoto Takeshi and hoped that Yamamoto could help her ask the manager of the Yorozuya a question.

That girl has a twin sister. Although they look the same, their abilities are very different.

The younger sister is not good at studying, is average at sports, and has a rather timid personality. Her single mother has always favored the older sister and ignored the less outstanding younger sister. However, the older sister wants to have a better relationship with her younger sister, but the atmosphere between them is always not good.

The younger sister always feels that her elder sister, who is born in a superior position, does not understand her suffering at all, and is just speaking in a condescending manner and expressing her hypocritical concern.

Under such circumstances, they were of course unable to communicate, and it has finally dragged on until now, when the elder sister is powerless but does not want to give up.

"She wanted to know what to do." Yamamoto Takeshi said, "I could tell that she really wanted to communicate with her sister who was in a different class. She would go to her sister's class every lunch time, but she would always come back with a full lunch box and looked very sad."

Hinata thought for a moment, "Regarding this point, how about retorting to my mother when she ignores my sister?"

"Huh?" Yamamoto Takeshi was stunned.

"It's not about who is at fault, but the fault of the mother who treated her differently. It might be better to defend my sister in front of my mother than to have a normal conversation."

Yamamoto Takeshi stroked his chin, and after a moment he nodded, "Well, OK, I'll mention it to her, thank you sir!"

After saying that, Yamamoto Takeshi smiled and continued to help greet the new customers. Hinata Hajime looked at the new guests and continued to eat his sushi.

If you don’t eat something you get for free, it’s a waste.

【She didn't know what her sister hated.】

[This is normal. After all, the mother who is ignored by the younger sister is the best relative to the older sister. Of course, she will be biased towards her mother. There is nothing she can do. That is how human nature is.] Hinata Hajime stared at the remaining sushi. [In order to win the younger sister's heart, the younger sister must understand that this has nothing to do with her in essence, and she must also understand that the person who is best to her is hurting her fellow sister.]

Kamukura Izuru looked at the lone shrimp sushi in his sight and asked, "What are you doing?"

[I can’t eat any more.] Hinata Hajime sighed as he looked at the last piece of sushi. [It was just the right amount for me to eat, but they gave me a plate of thick omelette, so I ended up eating more.]

【When did your appetite become so small?】

[No, neither you nor I have much desire for food. We just eat to maintain our health. This is just your motto.] Hinata Hajime picked up the last piece of sushi and ate it. Although he said he couldn't eat any more, he was still young and an adult male, so he could eat as much as he wanted.

In short, when Hinata Sou was rejected when he tried to pay, the manager didn't seem unhappy at all about his child making the decision. Instead, he seemed very happy.

Hinata Hajime stretched out on the night street, and the next moment he shivered in the cold.

"It's so cold!" Hinata Sou sighed, "Let's go home quickly."

The next day, life went on the same way. Hinata Hajime still listened to other people's stories and troubles, recorded them and looked for solutions for them. He even took in a cat. The cat's owner had to go on a business trip, but couldn't find a friend to take care of the cat for the time being, and the pet store was full, so he asked Hinata Hajime to give it a try.

...Anyway, under the opponent's persistent attack, Hinata Hajime agreed.

Sitting at the table with a long-haired little ancestor in his arms, the cat curled up in Hinata Hajime's arms and made gurgling sounds. Just when Hinata Hajime was about to find a way to pull Kamukura Izuru up to let him take care of the cat, the shop door was suddenly pushed open. Yamamoto Takeshi pushed the door open, and the sound was so loud that it scared the cat.

But after being comforted by Hinata Hajime, the cat lay down again.

"What's up?"

"Something's happening, something very serious!" Yamamoto Takeshi glanced outside, and soon a girl ran in panting.

The girl had obviously cried, her eyes were red and swollen, "I'm sorry, can you please help me? I will give you a commission. Please, save my sister."

[Sister? Is this the elder sister I mentioned yesterday?]

【Um.】

Hinata Hajime put the cat into the nest that the cat owner had brought with him. Then he spoke, "What happened? Who are you trying to save?"

"My sister is missing." The girl couldn't hold back any longer, tears streaming down her face. "She didn't come home the night before yesterday. I asked my mother, but she said there was no need to worry about her. When I asked again, she said she went to a classmate's house. But when I came to school today, her head teacher came to me and asked why Linghua hadn't been to class for three days."

"I also went to look for Linghua's friends. Linghua didn't live in anyone's house at all. Linghua is missing. Mom is lying to me!"

Hinata Hajime looked at her, "Have you called the police?"

"We have called the police, but they have never found him." Yamamoto Takeshi added, "Auntie said she didn't want to worry Ikegami so she didn't tell her."

Just when he was about to say that he could wait for clues from the police for the time being, Hinata Hajime suddenly saw something.

He stood up and fixed his eyes on Chi Shang Yao Meng's chest.

Just very close to his heart, Hinata Hajime saw a bit of black stuff emanating.

...Fragments of despair?
