Hinata Hajime and Komaeda Nagito returned, and the little ghosts surrounded him like a star, asking all kinds of strange questions.

"Will I be the Judaime's right-hand man in ten years?!" This is Jigokudera Hayato.

"In ten years, my sushi shop should be well-known!"

"After ten years of extreme competition, I will definitely have a more powerful opponent!"

"Master Rambo is the strongest!"

"Am I really a good leader?"

Most of the junior high school students have never understood life, and most of them care about these problems. Hinata Hajime looked at them with a smile and answered them one by one. Of course, Hinata Hajime was not prepared to tell them what happened ten years later. After all, everyone's life is unknown, and who can say that the ten years after he went there will be their ten years after.

Rather than the existence of parallel worlds, Hinata Hajime believes more in the unpredictability of the future.

Instead of telling them about the future, it is better to let them walk towards the future themselves. After all, the predetermined future is a kind of bondage. It would not be good if they were like President Mo Meng who was bound by the future and used terrible means to break the future because of his firm belief in the future.

But in short, the fragments of hope in this world have been collected, and Hinata Hajime is ready to leave.

"Aren't you going to say goodbye to everyone?" Nagito Komaeda leaned against the door frame and looked at Hinata Hajime. "Hinata-kun seems to have a good relationship with them."

"We've already said goodbye." Hinata Hajime said, "We are not from this world, so it's better to leave no trace when we leave."

"So Hyuga-kun still remembers this." Hyuga Iso sighed, "So, Hyuga-kun you are really amazing. You are just here for a mission, but you have made so many friends, both talented and untalented. Could it be that Hyuga-kun actually has talent, and his talent is that of a super high school level sea king or something like that?"

Hinata Hajime: ...?

"Hey, Komaeda, don't talk nonsense."

"Haha, just kidding."

"In short, when you return to our world, don't run around on your own. Be sure to ask Nanami and Naegi before doing anything." Hinata Hajime said earnestly, "If it really doesn't work, you can discuss it with Kuzuryuu. There aren't many reliable people here, so don't let them worry about you."

Komaeda Nagito looked at Hinata Hajime with a complicated expression, "Compared to me, Hinata-kun is more worrying."

"Yes?"

"Of course there is." Nagito Komaeda looked Hinata Hajime up and down, "Until now, no one knows that Kamukura Izuru is still in your body, but you are not hiding it as well as you thought. You also know how big the gap is between you and Kamukura Izuru."

"I know this." Hinata Hajime said, "After this is over, I will tell everyone about this in person."

"So, Komaeda, don't exaggerate. If I get tied up the next moment after I return, you'll be done for."

Komaeda Nagito smiled, looking particularly innocent and pitiful. "It seems that this idea has failed."

"Have you really thought about this?!"

"Komaeda Nagito!"

As usual, Hinata Hajime was teaching Nagito Late Komaeda a lesson. He sat behind the table, his arms on the table, with a hint of thought in his green eyes.

【What are you thinking about. 】

"Nothing, just thinking how fast time flies." Hinata Hajime murmured, "When I was first found by the world consciousness, I thought it was a big project, and I also thought about many things about the future and desperate events. At that time, my mind was busy all the time."

[Now, the three fragments of hope have been collected. ]

【Those times that I thought would last a very long time, are gone in the blink of an eye. 】

I also solved my own problem by the way.

The tangled bond between him and Kamukura Izuru is something that even he himself cannot sort out.

In the original world, Hinata Hajime also wanted to deal with it, but at that time the battle between hope and despair had never stopped. Everyone was working hard for the battle, and Hinata Hajime simply couldn't spare the time to deal with his own problems.

It keeps getting delayed like this.

It was not until he entered another world that he found some free time to have a good chat with Kamukura Izuru.

[The passage of time is normal. As long as you don't pay attention to it, it will flow away quickly, just like sand that you can't hold.]

[Does anyone care about time when going out? 】

【Um.】

Hinata Hajime was a little surprised, "I thought this world was too boring for you, so the passage of time is just another form of boredom."

【You are here. 】

Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment.

Because you are here, even the time I don't pay much attention to has meaning, and the hurried passage of time will be noticed. I will feel that the days with you are slowly getting longer, and I will feel that time goes by very quickly. Even if we are together all the time, it still doesn't feel enough.

Hinata Hajime's fingers trembled.

He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes.

Nagito Komaeda asked him to pay more attention to Kamuzuru Izuru, and told him that Kamuzuru Izuru must be hiding something from him.

However, in this situation, how could he be wary of the God's throne?

I can only let him go.

Anyway, he believed that no matter what was hidden, Kamukura Izuru would never harm him.

…

The three fragments of hope are more useful than imagined.

In Hinata Hajime's eyes, those who were not deeply infected by despair returned to normal. Their eyes were clear, and after a moment of confusion, they yearned for life. Regardless of fear or worry, they no longer looked like desperate tools, but real human beings.

"That's great." Hinata Hajime breathed a sigh of relief. "Seeing everyone recovering, I feel like all my efforts were not in vain."

"Once all four fragments of hope are collected, the world will be able to return to normal."

"Eh? Don't you need to collect them all?"

"No." The world consciousness replied gently: "The world needs hope, and it also needs despair. Complete hope or despair will make the world chaotic. Therefore, as long as the remaining fragments of despair do not spread despair wantonly, then there will be no problem in the world."

Hinata Hajime smiled and said, "So that's how it is."

"By the way, have you asked anyone else to go to the world I need to go to?"

"No." The voice of the world consciousness was full of apology, "Because I caused you trouble before, I didn't do anything this time. As for the gift, you can take it or not."

"That's fine." Hinata Hajime smiled. "Don't let everyone come. Although I know everyone means well, I do feel a little uncomfortable with everyone around."

The world consciousness responded, "I understand."

Hinata Hajime sat on the ground. "Well, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course."

"Why do you want me to collect fragments of hope? Moreover, I seem to be different from others. I can see fragments of despair. These are invisible to normal people, right?"

The world consciousness was silent for three seconds, and then it spoke cautiously.

"…This question."

"Difficult to answer?"

"It's not that it's hard to answer." World Consciousness whispered, "Because it's a little risky."

"ha?"

"Because Mr. Hinata, you may not realize it yourself, but you actually have a seed of hope in you. If this seed is cultivated, it can give birth to a new fragment of hope, which is the last hope of our world."

"I chose you out of selfish motives. If hope could be nurtured, the world would be a much better place. But that's also why..."

"Because the fragment of hope can be transformed into the fragment of despair. It is the purest thing, and when it is bound to a human, it will change with the human's state." Hinata Hajime murmured, "Although it is only a seed now, as long as I degenerate into despair, what is born will also be a fragment of despair."

"...Yes, I'm really sorry." The voice of the world consciousness became smaller and smaller.

Hinata Hajime looked at the pure white screen in front of him and smiled, "It's okay."

"Even so, you chose me. That means you believe I won't fall into despair, right?"

"So, I can see the fragment of despair because of this fragment of hope that is still in the making." Hinata Hajime murmured, "So that's how it is. This is why I am different from others."

The world consciousness heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that he really didn't care, "Then, Mr. Hinata, we can go to the next world."

"Okay, no problem."

Just as Hinata Hajime was about to step into the next world, suddenly, the entire space shook, and Hinata Hajime was caught off guard and almost fell to the ground.

"Huh? What happened?" The world consciousness was at a loss.

"How could you take so long, senior?" A pretentious female voice echoed throughout the space, and at that moment Hinata Hajime's eyes widened.

"Enoshima Junko!"

"It's not her. No, I mean not the human girl." The world realized: "It's the despair fragment of the world that took on her appearance and maybe stole her memory."

"The Fragment of Despair can do this?!"

"When people are desperate, they can do anything."

The space was still shaking, and soon, the top layer of the space was lifted up, and Hinata Hajime instantly saw an enlarged version of Enoshima Junko. The girl stretched out her hand towards him with a smile. Hinata Hajime took two steps back to avoid Enoshima Junko's hand, and the next moment Enoshima Junko was stuck in place.

It looks like world consciousness has taken action.

"My dear senior, I haven't seen you for so long, and you are actually working to save the world." Enoshima Junko called out in a coquettish voice, "Why don't you take me with you on such a thing?"

"Damn it! I really want to go with my senior."

Hinata Hajime took a step back and asked the world consciousness, "Can I still go to other worlds smoothly?"

"Maybe?" The world consciousness answered uncertainly, "In our world, despair has eroded too deeply, and my control has been stripped away a lot."

"Ah? Are you going to run away, senior?" Enoshima Junko stretched out her other hand and slapped the ground.

"Hurry up, let me go to the new world."

"Oh, yes, I'm trying!"

"Eh? Leaving? Leaving?" Enoshima Junko grinned, "Don't be like this, isn't it too boring and hopeless?"

"Give the senior a small gift before you leave."

Hinata Hajime's feet felt empty and he felt himself falling into a pool of water. The sticky water stains dragged him down, down and down.

"The characteristics of Danganronpa." Enoshima Junko's voice stuck to his ears, "Senior, do you know what it is?"

Then, while Hinata Sou's mind was still in a state of confusion, Enoshima Junko answered without authorization, "Correct! A fratricide incident where everyone lost their memory!"

"Please save everyone while losing your memory and come back as the greatest hope!"

"But is this hope really hope or despair?"

"Mm- ...
