After returning to Tokyo from the hot spring shop, Hinata Hajime began to make appointments with the Silver King Wizman for the fragment of hope in him.
Fortunately, the Silver King has not returned for a short time since he came down last time. This is mainly because the Gold King is old, and after the stone slab disappears, it is unknown how long the remaining king's power can last. I am afraid that all kings will soon become ordinary people again.
Of course, in the eyes of the Silver King, this is also a good direction.
Japan has now developed sufficiently and will not regress even without a king, and the Wiesmann Deviation Value is indeed a difficult problem hanging over the heads of every king.
In 1999, the Wizman Deviation value of the former third king, Kagudu Genshi, reached its extreme, which eventually led to the Kagudu crater incident in which 700,000 people died. This disaster also caused the death of the former fourth king, Hanbari Jin, and was an undeniable incident of supernatural power out of control.
And now, the current third king, Red King Suho-no-mikoto, has also begun to show signs of an unstable Wizman Deviation value.
In this case, perhaps the most ideal situation is for the king to disappear.
After being asked to date Hinata Sou, Weitzman was a little surprised, but after the surprise he still went to the appointment. In a high-end cafe, Hinata Sou was waiting there.
"I didn't expect that you would ask me out. Of course, I'm very happy. I also have something I want to talk to you about." Weiszman said after he came.
Hinata Hajime blinked, "Okay."
[He looks like an elegant noble, but actually he seems to be a bit outgoing, similar to Jutsu.]
【Um.】
"So, what do you want from me?"
"It's like this." Hinata Sou took a sip of coffee, "Have you ever felt like you did something really bad, like you were in despair? Or have you ever heard any strange voices, like they were going to help you do something?"
“Despair?” Weiszman stroked his chin and began to think. “It seems that there is indeed such a feeling, but it has been so long that I cannot really say for sure.”
"During the time when my sister passed away, I did seem to hear strange noises in my dreams, but I was alone in the air at that time. I thought I missed my sister and the lieutenant too much, so I ignored it. Why? Was it something important?"
Hinata Hajime smiled and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Weissman to not believe those words at all."
"I can't help it. Who made me a scientist? Even when I encountered something as unscientific as a slate, I still believed that science is the truth." Weissman joked, "So, what is that?"
"It's probably something that can affect a person's emotions. The slate suddenly went out of control when it encountered that kind of thing."
Weiszman was surprised. "You mean, if I believed it at that time, I might be stuck in a vicious circle like the stone tablet and unable to get out of it?"
"right."
"Then it seems that I am still very lucky." Weissman smiled. "Then it's my turn to ask, what kind of power is this so-called despair you mentioned? It can even affect the stone slabs. Now that things have come to this point, you have to tell me."
Hinata Hajime was helpless, "Actually, I don't know much. You know, I have lost my memory, but it is a neutral force."
"neutral?"
"Yes." Hinata Sou nodded. "When humans are desperate, it will become the power of despair, leading more people to go crazy. But when humans are full of hope, it will also become the power of hope, becoming the driving force for everyone to persevere. So I call it a neutral power. What it looks like actually depends on the host itself."
"It's like the piece that parasitizes Mr. Weissman. Even after despair, Mr. Weissman chose hope. Although he escaped, he did not let himself fall. Therefore, the fragment of despair will also become a fragment of hope."
"They are just power, and their original intention was not to harm people."
What is hope and what is despair.
Hinata Hajime didn't quite understand. After all, his memory recovery was incomplete and he could only remember himself in high school.
However, Hinata Hajime understood that neither hope nor despair was enough to describe himself.
He has been full of admiration for talent since he was a child and hoped that he would be a talented person. However, he was defeated by reality and finally chose to participate in human experiments in despair. He became an experimental subject, and was born as Kamizuru after his personality was erased. This was undoubtedly despair, but Hinata Sou felt that pure despair was not enough to describe his life, and he also gained a lot of good things.
Whether it was Kamuzura Izuru or Nanami Chiaki, these were the hopes he had.
Similarly, Hinata Hajime doesn't think of himself as a hopeful person. He is so ordinary, how can he be described as hopeful?
He is on a road of hope and despair, containing everything in his body. It is precisely because he is an ordinary person that he can perfectly possess hope and despair at the same time.
Therefore, Hinata Hajime does not want to deny despair, nor will he deny hope.
Weissman smiled and said, "Mr. Hinata is a very pure person."
"Pure?" Hinata Hajime was stunned.
"Yes, purely."
Hinata Sou thought for a moment and said, "Someone seemed to have said that to me before, but I seem to have forgotten who she was."
"It doesn't matter who it is, Mr. Hinata, nice to meet you." Witzman extended his hand towards Hinata Hajime.
Hinata Hajime was a little surprised. After a moment, he held his hand over it. At that moment, a ray of light slowly appeared, and a piece of white fragment emerged from Wisman's palm and floated in the air. Wisman blinked, he stared at the fragment, and then looked at Hinata Hajime.
"this?"
"Ah." Hinata Hajime reached out and grabbed the fragment, then put it behind his back, "Yeah."
Weiszman felt wronged for a moment. "Can't I study it? Look, it's been with me for so many years."
"No." Hinata Hajime responded firmly.
"Okay." Weiszman immediately changed his expression. "Then, let's say goodbye. Goodbye."
【I’m going back.】
[Huh? So fast? But I haven't recovered my memory yet. ]
[When you return, you will recover, and the power of the Fragment of Hope will clear away what the Fragment of Despair has inflicted on you.]
【Huh? That's it.】
Since he knew he had to go back, Hinata Sou thought about it and went to Homura. He helped Tomokazu Tadara fix his camera, gave him a lot of film, and told him what he should do to finish a painting. Finally, when Tomokazu Tadara said something wrong, he told him that he was leaving.
Going home to deal with something really, really bad.
Although it's good here, not only can he stay away from bad things but he also has good friends, but he can't escape like this. Besides, he has other friends at home who are under pressure. If he hides here, he will disappoint them.
"As expected, Hinata is such a person, full of responsibility, and does not know how to evade responsibility at all." Jutsu Tadoroki smiled and said, "Silly."
"Where is it?"
"Yes." Shishu Duoduoliang teased.
Izumo Kusanagi placed the juice in front of Hinata Hajime, "But, it is this kind of Hinata that is liked by everyone, isn't it?"
“That’s true.”
"Anna likes Brother Hinata, too."
"Right?"
Just like that, amid everyone's laughter, Hinata Hajime said goodbye to them and finally boarded a train that was heading to an unknown destination. Although he didn't know what was going on, he felt that he could indeed leave this world.
"Idori." Hinata Hajime said, "What is this tour?"
"Accident."
"Really?"
"A nice surprise."
Hinata Sou smiled, "You're right."
…
Sitting in the pure white space, Hinata Hajime bent one knee, with the other arm naturally resting on his knee, his emerald eyes filled with contemplation.
The world consciousness around him has already filled his head with apologies, and it is still apologizing non-stop, and it starts saying sorry after just a few words, as if it is really useless and is holding Hinata Hajime back, and it is not worthy of being the world consciousness.
"Well, don't apologize yet." Hinata Hajime had no choice but to comfort the world consciousness, "Compared to this matter, I got the last piece of hope. Why don't we deal with other things first?"
[Yes, yes.] The world consciousness almost shed tears.
Fragments of hope flew out from Hinata Hajime's hands, and then dispersed into light in the air. The light spread all the way to the world. Hinata Hajime could see that the wars in the world had subsided a lot. Of course, there were still some wars. After all, wars could never be eliminated. It could only be said that the war between hope and despair was temporarily subsided.
But it's not bad.
"Anyway, is my mission over?"
[Thank you very much for your assistance. The four pieces of hope that were scattered outside have all returned. There is no need to go to other worlds to continue the mission. ]
Hinata Sou nodded, "That's great."
"But may I ask why fragments of hope end up in other worlds?"
[That... is not something I cannot say.] The world consciousness spoke after a moment of silence, [Originally, the amount of hope and despair in our world has always been equal. Balance is a very important thing. There must be a certain amount of hope and despair, but the establishment of Hope's Peak has slightly disrupted the balance, and more and more people are known as hope.]
[Then the world will maintain balance, and one of the fragments will turn into despair. At the same time, the super high school level Despair Enoshima Junko will be chosen as the host to spread despair to the world, so as to achieve balance.]
【But, accidentally... I lost control. 】
The world consciousness felt even more guilty. [The out-of-control fragment of despair triggered the World War. After Junko Enoshima died, she continued to promote the war through her image. Although she could only use the fragment of hope to purify despair, she used her tricks to infect the other four fragments into a state of despair and then dispersed them and threw them into other worlds.]
【That's about it.】
Hinata Hajime sneered, no longer having any illusions about this world, but this was just the first time, and he probably wouldn't make the same mistake again.
"So, can I go back now?"
【Of course!】
The next moment, Hinata Hajime found himself standing on solid ground. He blinked and saw the iconic building not far away, the Hope's Peak Academy rebuilt by Makoto Naegi.
"Back?" Hinata Hajime walked around, then he thought, "Izuku, how about we build the amusement park next to Hope's Peak Academy?"
Kamizuru Izuru: ...
"I thought you had recovered your memory."
"Is there any connection between restoring memories and my desire to build an amusement park?" Hinata Hajime said as he walked towards Hope's Peak Academy. "I wonder if Naegi, as the principal, has made any money. Maybe we can ask him for a loan for the funds to build the amusement park."
In the principal's office of Hope's Peak Academy, Makoto Naegi, who was looking at student files, sneezed.
He rubbed his nose.
"Why do I feel a chill? Do I have a cold?"
