"So, why don't you dare look at me, Naegi?"
"Huh? I didn't..." Naegi Makoto felt a little guilty.
Kirikiri Hibiki, who was sitting next to him, held her forehead helplessly and seemed a little speechless towards Naegi Makoto.
Makoto Naegi smiled awkwardly, then spoke, "Maybe it's because Hinata-senpai looks a little different than before. I just feel like he's changed a lot. He reminds me a little of that..."
"Feel sorry."
Makoto Naegi had seen Kamuzura Izuryu before. When he discovered the students of the 77th class, Kamuzura Izuryu was also mixed in among them. At first, Makoto Naegi thought that Kamuzura Izuryu was also a student of the 78th class. The man with long hair and red eyes still left a deep impression on Makoto Naegi. After all, it was the first time he saw such an indifferent person.
He had no emotions, no feelings, and even didn't like to talk. In the endless silence, Makoto Naegi couldn't ask anything and could only helplessly send him into the new world program.
Then I saw that scary man turned into Hinata Hajime, and Hinata Hajime was still a person who couldn't be more normal.
However, considering that everyone in the 78th term was brainwashed into despair by Enoshima Junko, Makoto Naegi didn't think too much about it and really thought it was just a side effect of despair.
...Then, the infighting began, and it was revealed that Hinata Hajime had undergone human experimental surgery and gained all the talents, but the price was the loss of his memory and emotions, becoming a machine with only talent. At that time, Naegi Makoto understood.
What he saw in Kamizuru was not despair, but that he was just like that.
Hinata Chuang leaned back in his chair, "You think I look like an idiot now?"
"It's not that similar..."
"Does that mean it still looks like him?" Hinata Hajime pulled his long black hair, "Because of the hair and clothes?"
"It's probably the eyes." Makoto Naegi answered like a little animal, "When I look into the eyes of Hinata-senpai, I feel a little pressure. It's not as gentle as before, but I think it's good. Before, when I looked into the eyes of Hinata-senpai, I felt that your smile was a little tired, but now that you don't smile, you look very energetic."
Hinata Sou nodded, "So that's how it is."
"Anyway, what are you doing here, Hinata-senpai? You scared me..." Naegi Makoto muttered softly, "It would be terrible if it was Juugami-san who was here."
No matter what, Hinata Hajime is an open member of the Desperate Remnant Party, and the leader of the Desperate Remnant Party. He and everyone from the 78th class moved to Jabbawok Island for these considerations. They cannot appear in public for a short time, so when Hinata Hajime came, he avoided all cameras and entered the principal's office like a cat that can't hear any sound.
At that time, Makoto Naegi was still reading a document. When he heard the voice, he saw a shadow with long black hair blocking his white paper. When he raised his head, he saw Hinata Hajime who looked like Kamuzura Izuru.
He didn't scream out in fright because he reacted quickly enough.
Hinata Sou said: "Look, can I build an amusement park next to Hope's Peak?"
One, two, three question marks appeared on the heads of Makoto Naegi and Hibiki Kirikiri.
"Yes, an amusement park, and one that can be operated." Hinata Hajime looked at them, "What do you think?"
Makoto Naegi and Hibiki Kirikiri looked at each other, and both saw confusion and doubt in each other's eyes. Even the super high school level detective Hibiki Kirikiri didn't know why Hinata Hajime had this idea.
"…It's not impossible." Naegi Makoto scratched his temples, "But can I know why Hinata-sama wants to open an amusement park?"
"It's like I made an appointment with someone to go to an amusement park, and then I remembered that there is no amusement park here, so I decided to build one myself so that I can keep the appointment."
Makoto Naegi and Kyoko Kirigiri:...
It's absolutely flawless.
"So that's how it is." Makoto Naegi thought for a moment, then he looked at Kirikiri Hibiki and wanted her to give him some advice. It wasn't about the amusement park. It didn't matter whether building an amusement park made sense or not. The main thing was how he should explain to others that the leader behind the Despair Remnant Party wanted to build an amusement park next to Hope's Peak Academy.
Kirikiri Hibiki turned her head away from Naegi Makoto, indicating that she would not help.
All right, Naegi Makoto sighed, "Can you let me think about it, Hiashi-senpai?"
"No problem." Hinata Hajime said with a smile, "By the way, can I walk around Hope's Peak? We won't be discovered."
"Well, it's actually okay to be discovered. Apart from the students, everyone else is a member of the Future Organization, and most of them know who Hinata-senpai is."
Hinata Sou waved his hand, then turned and left the principal's office.
Seeing Hinata Hajime walk out of the principal's office, Naegi Makoto breathed a sigh of relief.
"I'm so nervous." Naegi Makoto patted his chest, "Hinami-senpai came too suddenly."
"Okay, think about what to do."
Makoto Naegi collapsed in his chair in a second. "Kirikiri, why didn't you say anything just now? You must be a little surprised, right? Hyuga-senpai actually wants to open an amusement park or something."
"Rather than opening an amusement park, you should pay attention to who he wants to go to the amusement park with."
"Huh? Who is it?"
Kirikiri Hibiki looked at him while holding the document. "Didn't you notice? His entire body, including his hair, has returned to the state when he became Kamukura Derushi. Only his dominant consciousness is still Hinata Hajime. We all know that Hinata Hajime has been missing for more than a year. Even the agent on Japawk Island has been replaced. No one knows where he went. Now he suddenly comes back and looks like this..."
"Besides, he was wearing a chain."
"Chain?"
"It doesn't look like a pendant, but more like something is hung up to hide."
Naegi Makoto blinked, "And then?"
"Then, you should also be able to notice that Hyuga Hajime and Kamijou Izuru have not completely merged."
"What does this have to do with Kamuzura Izuru?"
Kirikiri Hibiki sighed, "Forget it. I hope you can understand that I'm just overthinking."
"You should just deal with the paperwork, Principal."
"But……"
Makoto Naegi was helpless, "I haven't figured out how to deal with the playground yet."
"Let him open it, and no one from the future government will stop him."
"Where will the money come from? It's hard to find suitable equipment in this situation."
"Let the students come for internships." Kirikiri Hibiki immediately came up with a solution. "We originally wanted to train them as soon as possible. The more restless the world becomes, the less safe they will be. It is most necessary to let them find a way to survive that suits them. The reconstruction of Hope's Peak cannot be used only to protect them."
Naegi Makoto's eyes lit up, "That sounds good."
On the other hand, he didn't know that Makoto Naegi and Hibiki Kirikiri had changed his plan to build a playground into a battle to train students, and of course he wouldn't care even if he knew.
The playground is his anyway.
The interior of Hope's Peak Academy is very large, with all kinds of facilities available. In addition to the teaching building, there are various other rooms. The undergraduate teaching building where the 78th class of students in the Enoshima Junko Project killed each other is just the tip of the iceberg of Hope's Peak.
After taking over Hope's Peak Academy, Makoto Naegi renovated the undergraduate teaching building, but left most of the buildings behind untouched because they did not have enough time to deal with these things. The melee between hope and despair had already made them very tired.
Just like that, walking behind Hope's Peak Academy, Hinata Hajime entered the alleyway that was already overgrown with weeds.
Walking through the weeds, we came to the strict laboratory. The mottled bloodstains inside the laboratory were still there, and now they had turned into a coagulated black.
After the biggest and most desperate incident, only one in ten researchers who participated in the human experiments survived, including the super high school-level neurologist who died here.
Hinata Souma walked past the mess on the ground and walked all the way to the innermost part.
Behind an open door, Hinata Hajime saw an operating table covered with dust.
"It's been so long that even this place is different from what I remember."
Hinata Hajime murmured.
"Is this what you came to Hope's Peak Academy for?"
"Yes, this is where I was born, although it was my suffering period." Hinata Hajime looked around, "My consciousness was wiped out a little bit at that time, but in the early days, I still had feelings. My body was under my control, so I also had pain and could feel those people operating on me."
"I just forgot for a moment what I was doing and why I was here, and ended up falling asleep until you woke me up."
Kamijū Izuru knew what Hinata Hajime meant because he had taken control of his body since birth, but his memory of the operation was incomplete.
The person in the early stage of the operation was Hinata Hajime, who was like a blurred line, gradually transforming into Kamijou Izuru. The superposition of their memories was the complete process of the operation.
"Of course, it's really stupid to believe that surgery can make you a talented person." Hinata Hajime leaned against a place where there was less dust. "But it's not meaningless. At least De-Ryu exists."
“It’s really stupid.”
Although Kamizuru is the source of Hinata Hajime's pain, Hinata Hajime still gives meaning to Kamizuru and gives him the warmest embrace.
Hinata Hajime is the most powerful person in this world because he turns suffering into hope.
"I wonder what Naegi will do with my playground?" Hinata Hajime murmured.
"Why did you have to build a playground next to Hope's Peak Academy?"
"Because Makoto Naegi is here. He is a super high school level lucky guy. I think if we build an amusement park near his house, it will keep its value for another ten years."
"Komaeda Nagito is also lucky."
"...No, I think that if this amusement park is built next to Nagito Komaeda, it will be demolished in less than three days."
"You are lucky too."
"Being with Naegi is a double guarantee of luck, and being with Komaeda makes things less bad. There's no need to think about which side to choose."
Kamukura Izuru began to think about the rationality of the matter and how to prevent Komaeda Nagito from approaching after the amusement park was built.
But he forgot that he didn't want to build an amusement park with Hinata Hajime at the beginning.
Of course, Hinata Hajime knew, but he didn't tell him.
