"Hinata-kun, are you really not going to cut it off?" Komaeda Nagito asked for the umpteenth time.

Hinata Hajime looked at Komaeda Nagito helplessly, "How much resentment do you have towards my hair? You are not a cat, you will not be entangled by my hair. Besides, isn't your hair supposed to be weirder than mine?"

"Yes, it does not entangle the cat, but it will cause me great psychological pressure. That's true. The great Hyuga-kun certainly has no obligation to relieve the worries of a scum like me."

"So what?" Hinata Hajime didn't even look at him, but looked at the list in his hand as usual.

Komaeda Nagito put the book in his hand on the bookshelf, then walked to Hinata Hajime and asked, "You really can't cut it off?"

"cannot."

The answer is very affirmative.

Nagito Komaeda sat on the chair, supporting his chin with one hand as he looked across at Hinata Hajime who was looking at the list intently without even raising his head.

Two months have passed since the last hospital incident, and the early spring weather has gradually turned into a hot summer. The students have finally had their summer vacation, which has led to Sawada Tsunayoshi coming to see Hinata Hajime from time to time. When they see Hinata Hajime's outfit, they naively think that he is wearing a wig and ask him what character he is cosplaying.

Kamizakuri, a person who has all the talents and is called Hope, is the one who spent all his financial resources on human experiments at Hope's Peak Academy.

No one would mistake Kamukura Izuru for a weak woman, even though he had long black hair that almost reached his knees. He was born with a temperament that was difficult to approach. His eyes could not accept anything, and when he looked at you, it seemed as if even the air would freeze.

This is all due to the fact that Kamukura Izuru has long been deprived of emotions and interests. His world is simple and boring, so of course he is not in a good mood.

But Hinata Hajime is different.

Putting those Kamijou-douri outfits on Hinata Hajime as they are, combined with Hinata Hajime's gentle expression and grass-green eyes, only makes him look softer.

Especially now, he was annoyed that his long hair always slipped to the front and blocked his vision, so he casually tied a ponytail with an ordinary hair tie. Occasionally, a few strands of hair stuck out, making Hinata Sou look particularly... like a human.

Well, that’s all I can say about Nagito Komaeda.

Those things that make Kamijou Izuru seem particularly depressing and terrifying only make him seem more human, even more approachable, on Hinata Hajime.

Hinata Hajime, so scary.

"Speaking of which, Komaeda, do you have anything to do now?" Hinata Hajime looked at Nagito Komaeda. Before Nagito Komaeda could retort, Hinata Hajime stuffed a piece of paper into Nagito Komaeda's arms and said, "Since you have nothing to do, please do this for me."

"Huh?" Nagito Komaeda unfolded the paper and took a look. "Looking for a lost cat? Hinata-kun, if I remember correctly, this is a lost pet search center, right?"

Hinata Tsao shrugged, "But this is a multi-purpose shop, which means that under normal circumstances, any commission will be accepted. Isn't this the rule you made?"

Komaeda Nagito: ...

"And your luck is very useful, just find a cat." Hinata Hajime calmly replied: "Good luck on your journey."

"Why don't you go by yourself, Hinata-kun?"

"Because I have other commissions." Hinata Hajime showed Komaeda Nagito the white paper in his hand, "A girl thinks someone is following her, and she hopes we can help her find the person, so I have to go out in the afternoon and even at night. I have to leave the task of finding the cat to you."

Komaeda Nagito sighed, "Another unnecessary request. Hinata-kun, you should suggest that she call the police."

"If calling the police would have worked, she wouldn't have found her way here."

Komaeda Nagito clicked his tongue, picked up the white paper and walked out, looking like he agreed.

Looking at Komaeda Nagito's back as he left, Hinata Hajime breathed a sigh of relief, "It can be considered as finding something for him to do. It will save him from worrying about my hair every day, and it won't be shameful for men with long hair."

【Um.】

[It's too cold, but to be honest, Tsuneyoshi has changed a lot from before, especially in battle. 】

Before he knew it, the boy who had come to him and asked him about "something wrong with his world" was gone. Now Sawada Tsunayoshi is stronger than he imagined. He has many friends and a lot of people around him. He is much more confident. One day, Hinata Hajime saw him training.

There was a flame on the boy's forehead, and the flame burned into his eyes, but he was very calm, and even his voice was unexpectedly calm.

His fighting ability increased rapidly, and he became calmer and more steady. Combined with his changed image, it actually made people think "this is a super powerful person."

However, he is different from Hinata Hajime. His feeling is more like putting himself into another state during the battle. That is still his own consciousness and his own progress.

[He is very talented and has a natural fighting ability. ]

Hinata Sou nodded, looked for what he needed, and went out. As he walked, he chatted with Kamuko Izuku, "How does that compare to your fighting ability?"

[There is no comparison.] Kamukura Izuru calmly replied, [Because I am not only good at fighting.]

And many things can't be solved by fighting alone.

After chatting, Hinata Sou came to the girl's residence. Because she was being followed for the past few days, the girl didn't even dare to go to class. She had been hiding at home for the past few days. She thought someone wanted to come in at the slightest movement. When Hinata Sou went there, the girl was about to cry.

Anyway, after meeting and chatting for a while, Hinata Hajime wrote down the information and also asked specifically where the person who was following him was usually.

The girl's speech was garbled. She was not sure where the man was hiding, but she was very sure that someone was following her.

Finally, Hinata Hajime decided to help her guard tonight. She happened to live on the top floor, and above that was the rooftop. In other words, no one would come up here except her. If someone really followed her, then the person who came up would be the suspect.

Hinata Hajime found a corner in the corridor that was not easily noticed and began to wait.

They waited like this from the afternoon to the evening, and even their cell phone ran out of battery. Hinata Sou stood up and moved around for a while, and felt deeply that maybe the girl was wrong. But Hinata Sou always felt that if he left like this, what if that person came after he left?

So Hinata Hajime sat down and continued waiting.

We waited like this until late at night.

[No one.] Hinata Hajime murmured, [Not to mention people, there's not even a mosquito.]

[I told you to check the client's background before accepting the commission.]

【Hmm?】Hinata Hajime blinked.

But Kamijou Izuru didn't say anything. Hinata Hajime took out his tablet with one bar of battery left from the bag beside him. After a few operations, the client's information appeared on it. Soon, Hinata Hajime discovered something wrong.

Under the girl's name, there is a medical report that three years ago, she was diagnosed with mental disorder and had persecution tendencies.

Hinata Hajime: ...

[So, no one was following her? She was just imagining things?]

【This is modern society.】 Kamuzuru Izuru said so.

The reason why the girl found Hinata Hajime was because the police couldn't find the person following her, but in fact this community is full of surveillance cameras. The security guard at the gate of the community is very dedicated. When Hinata Hajime came in, he questioned him for a long time, and finally let him in after he produced complete proof.

Logically speaking, if someone really was following the girl, the police would be able to find out some details.

But the police didn't. Based on their experience, they searched many places but found no traces, so they concluded that the girl was not followed. However, the girl who didn't believe it still found Hinata Hajime.

[Izuku, why didn't you tell me at the beginning?] Hinata Sou sighed, [Isn't it a waste of time to wait all night?]

【It’s your own problem.】

【You can actually help me avoid this problem. 】

【refuse.】

Hinata Hajime stood up somewhat helplessly and began to pick up the things on the ground. The summer night was particularly hot and humid, so he decided to go home first.

Just as Hinata Hajime was about to go down the elevator, there was a loud bang and a loud explosion on the roof, and Hinata Hajime was startled.

"What's that noise?"

Hinata Hajime hurried over, climbed the stairs, and opened the door leading to the top floor.

With a loud bang, an explosion occurred, and the wind and waves blew directly on his face, blowing his long black hair and clothes away. Hinata Hajime held the door on the top floor and looked outside in surprise.

Two men were fighting on the rooftop.

A man in a black suit with a blue flame on his head was using a dagger to block the opponent's attack, while the opponent...

"Give me the ring!" The young man with long white hair shouted in an exaggerated loud voice, with a lot of arrogance in his voice. The man seemed to be using a long sword. When the cold weapons collided with each other, sparks flashed in the dark, which looked particularly dangerous.

"...I can't give it to you." The slightly shorter boy gritted his teeth.

With a bang, the dagger in Bagher's hand flew out directly. The moment he looked in the direction of the dagger, he saw a strange young man at the entrance of the staircase.

The young man seemed to be frightened. He stood at the entrance of the staircase, his long black hair blown back by the wind. His green eyes met his gaze for an instant, and he looked particularly innocent.

"Since you won't give it to me, I'll take it myself." Squalo laughed exaggeratedly, and the long sword in his hand caught fire.

Basil's eyes widened, and he subconsciously stood in front of Hinata Hajime, "Danger!"

With a bang, Squalo's long sword slashed the ground fiercely, raising a cloud of dust. It seemed that considering this was a Japanese residential area, Squalo did not use his full strength, but this blow was enough to make Bagel unable to move.

"Cough, cough, cough." Basil's cough sounded behind the dust.

The dust in the air gradually settled, and Basil's figure gradually appeared. In front of Basil who was kneeling on the ground, a young man with long black hair stood in front of him, with red and green heterochromatic eyes, staring calmly at Squalo in front of him.

"Are you okay?" Hinata Sou asked the person behind him gently, "Can you still stand up?"

"Huh? Huh?" Bajir made a puzzled sound, but the next moment he covered his arm and stood up, "Okay, I'm fine."

"Great." Hinata Sou smiled. "Anyway, I don't know what happened, but since you can stand in front of me to protect me, it means that you must be a good person."

Basil nodded blankly.

"Who are you?" Squalo looked at Hinata Hajime with a hint of danger in his eyes. "This is a family affair of the Vongola family. All those who have nothing to do with it, get out of here."

"Borrow it for a moment." Hinata Sou picked up the dagger that had been thrown off the ground, "But Vongola? Do you know Reborn?"

Basil's eyes lit up. "Do you know Mr. Ribourne?"

Instead, Squalo clicked his tongue and said, "Is he that guy's helper?"

"Then I'll clean you up right here."
