Hinata Hajime arrived at the hospital address given to him by Reborn.

In the ward, Hinata Hajime saw many reporters. They were blocked by the police and the ward door was tightly closed, as if they were afraid that the noise outside would disturb the patients inside.

It was too easy for Hinata Hajime to sneak in. He quickly got the boy's file and saw his current condition.

However, after reading on, Hinata Hajime frowned slightly.

This math genius doesn't seem to be a real genius. Rather than being in the field of mathematics, he is more like a celebrity, using his genius as a gimmick. The answers to many math questions were given to him before the show started, so he was able to answer them so quickly.

In other words, this genius setting has always been fake.

However, regardless of whether it was fake or not, the boy was now completely unable to think. Deprived of the ability to think, he sat on the hospital bed with a dull look, staring at the white sheets. No matter who called him, he could not raise his head to look.

Even if it is a punishment, the price is too high.

Let's assume that this was done by Reika Ikegami. What are her standards?

Hinata Hajime walked out thinking, and almost bumped into a wet person.

"Hi, Hinata-kun." The wet Nagito Komaeda waved to Hinata Sou with a smile.

"Komaeda?" Hinata Hajime looked at Komaeda Nagito in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"That's a long story." Nagito Komaeda shook off the water on himself, "Hinata-kun, do you want to hear it in more detail or in a simpler way?"

Hinata Hajime looked at him helplessly, "Tell me everything from beginning to end."

"I knew that Hinata-kun really doesn't trust me at all." Komaeda Nagisa sighed.

Hinata Chuangxiang: You are obviously unlucky. According to the setting that you will get good luck after you are unlucky, it is too dangerous to not know your purpose! Of course, I have to listen to you from beginning to end, so that I can judge when to avoid you to prevent being implicated.

So, from Komaeda Nagito's half-complaining, half-serious voice, Hinata Hajime learned about his series of adventures today.

He originally wanted to go to the station, but because he bought an expired map, he walked all the way to the port, which was ridiculously far away from the station. Before Nagito Komaeda could find the right way, he saw a girl who was trying to commit suicide. According to Nagito Komaeda's instructions, he tried to persuade the girl in various ways. The girl came down from the railing at ease and pushed him into the sea.

Hinata Hajime: ...

"It was so unfortunate. I felt like I almost suffocated." Nagito Komaeda said in a completely nonchalant voice, "Then a kind-hearted person picked me up and sent me to this hospital."

"I didn't expect to meet Hinata-kun outside the hospital. As expected, I am still very lucky."

Hinata frowned, "Wait a minute? You said you were pushed into the sea by a girl? Do you remember what the girl looked like?"

"Hmm? Just an ordinary junior high school girl, who looks a bit short and keeps saying that she did something wrong."

Hinata Hajime pulled out his phone from his pocket and showed the photo to Komaeda Nagito, "Do you think it's her?"

"It's dark, but it should be her." Nagito Komaeda nodded. "Hinata-kun is investigating this girl? Eh? Could this be the Despair Host? I was pushed into the sea by the Despair Host? In other words... if I hadn't fallen into the sea, I might have caught her."

"It's so damn despairing." Nagito Komaeda clenched his hands, "You just ran away from me like that."

There was no time to listen to Nagito Komaeda's theories about hope and despair. Hinata Hajime prepared to go to the place where Nagito Komaeda had met the girl before. Then he suddenly remembered the cat that was left in the store, and Nagito Komaeda, who was soaking wet and looking full of righteous anger and was about to go with him.

"Komaeda." Hinata Hajime stopped and said seriously, "I'll give you a mission."

"Huh?" Nagito Komaeda looked at Hinata Hajime strangely, "Hinata-kun, do you know what your expression is like right now?"

"That's not important." Hinata Hajime cut off Nagito's words and forced the topic back to himself, "Go back to the store now. There's a customer waiting in the store. This is a very important mission. You must go back."

After saying this, Hinata Hajime didn't even give Komaeda Nagito time to object and disappeared into the crowd in an instant.

Komaeda Nagito looked ahead and uttered the words he hadn't said yet.

"…It's like the expression that Naegi-san made when Jugami-san asked him questions after he tricked him."

"That's really suspicious."

Despite saying so, the wet Nagisa Komaeda still returned to the store. The moment he opened the door, a white cat standing on the table gave Nagisa Komaeda a queen-like call, and its amber cat eyes seemed to be asking: Where is Hinata?

"Is this the guest?" Nagito Komaeda tried to reach out his hand, and was greeted with a pat from the cat.

"No way, this kind of thing should be handed over to a super high school level breeder. How can a scum like me do it?"

…

Hinata Hajime arrived at the pier. It was deserted and orange lights were shining on the road. He looked around and his left eye turned red. He began to analyze where she would go after leaving if it was Ikegami Reika.

[A 14-year-old girl should go to a place with lights at night.] Hinata Sou looked to the left, [The insecurity at night is higher than expected for a junior high school student.]

【She will go to the left.】 Kamuzuru said.

【Why? 】

【There will be a concert tonight on the left. 】

Hinata Hajime widened his eyes slightly, and he suddenly understood what Kamuzuru Izuru meant.

In the previous hospital, nurses were discussing neighborhood gossip at work. The daughter of a bar owner was holding a concert. The girl was known as having an angelic voice. It was said that her voice seemed to cleanse the soul, and the concert tickets had been sold out long ago.

If Ikegami Reika's target is talented boys and girls, then she will definitely go to this concert.

Although he arrived at the concert as quickly as possible, Hinata Hajime was still late.

At the concert, a girl in a white gauze dress who was singing suddenly covered her neck. She opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything. The audience looked at the girl in dismay. The bar owner came up to her, and at that moment, a stream of blood flowed down the corner of the girl's mouth.

The girl opened her mouth and tried to call for help, but she could only make the "ah ah" sound with her lips. The tearing pain made her fall to the ground. The owner quickly held down the struggling girl.

"Call the police! Call an ambulance!" the shop owner shouted.

Half of the people who came to the concert turned around and left, fearing that there would be trouble, while the other group slowly moved over. They took out their cell phones to take pictures of the girl who was vomiting blood, watching her white dress being stained red with blood.

Hinata Hajime did not see Ikegami Reika among these people.

The girl's struggle continues, and you can tell from her expression that she is in pain.

Hinata Hajime pushed aside the onlookers and went onto the stage.

"...You?" The bar owner looked at Hinata Hajime blankly.

"I'm a doctor." Hinata Hajime reached out and touched the girl's throat. The girl kept coughing, but only the sound of breathing could be heard, and even that was very weak. Blood kept flowing out of the girl's mouth, and the mouth was covered in blood. After a while, Hinata Hajime put his hand down.

"Doctor, how is Sakura?!"

Hinata Hajime frowned, "Don't worry, her life is not in danger for the time being, but she is in a lot of pain."

"What? What happened to Sakura?"

"Let's wait for the ambulance first." Hinata Hajime said, "We need to do a more detailed examination."

The bar owner knelt down in front of Hinata Hajime, "Doctor! Please, tell me what happened to Sakura? She is my only child!"

"Don't be like that." Hinata Hajime was shocked. "If I have to give a reason, her vocal cords are gone."

"…What did you say?"

Yes, what Hinata Hajime said is the truth.

The vocal cords of this girl named Sakura were dug out, so she couldn't make any sound. She was constantly vomiting blood, and the pain of having her vocal cords taken away made her struggle on the ground. This kind of pain that even adults cannot bear was inflicted on the girl.

Hinata Sou stood up and looked out the door. [He must not have gone far.]

[There is a seat at the back of the concert where you can leave. It wasn’t long after I left.] Kamuzuru Izuru said calmly, [You look very angry.]

[I know very well what despair feels like, after all, I have been in despair before.] Hinata Hajime stepped off the stage step by step, [Despair will make people's emotions become obsessive, and they will do some crazy things in order to get hope. I also know that selfishness is the easiest choice in this world.]

[However, no matter how desperate you are, you should not harm innocent people. ]

And obviously, the person who did this completely ignored this line.

…

A girl in school uniform was walking on the deserted street. She looked a little strange, smiling while tears kept flowing from her eyes. Sadness and happiness were instilled in the same eyes. Even though she was only 14 years old, she looked very strange.

"I'm sorry," the girl murmured. "I'm sorry. I don't want to hurt anyone."

Her voice had a unique charm, a childlike tenderness, and an angelic innocence. "I'm sorry."

At this moment, she stopped in her tracks, and in front of her tear-blurred eyes, she saw a young man standing there. The young man had a pair of heterochromatic eyes and looked particularly strange.

"Ikegami Reika." Hinata Hajime said, "I finally found you."

"Do you know me?" Ikegami Reika looked at Hinata Hajime blankly, "But, I don't know you."

Hinata Hajime took a step towards her, and Ikegami Reika took a step back. "Your mother and sister are worried about you. I was asked to come find you."

"Really?" Ikegami Reika's eyes lit up. "Mom really asked you to come find me? Is it really mom?"

"yes."

"Mom, that's great." Ikegami Reika cried, "But I can't go back now."

Hinata Hajime looked at her, "Why can't you go back yet? Everyone is worried about you."

"I haven't become the best person yet!" Ikegami Reika shouted, "The person my mother likes must be as good as my sister. Sorry, I can't go back yet. I must become better than my sister before I can go home. Only then will my mother look at me."

“I want to be my mother’s favorite child.”
