Hinata Hajime had sensed something was wrong from before.
This sense of abnormality came from Kamizuru Izuru, who seemed to think that he would disappear, so he left many things to Hinata Hajime and taught him how to control his talents.
The more Kamuzuru Izuru behaves like this, the more Hinata comes up with ideas.
He is no longer the confused boy he used to be. Now he is more sensitive than anyone else and understands Kamisaki's rules better than anyone else.
Because they are the same person, he knows what Kamizuru Izuru is thinking, and he is also very clear about what Kamizuru Izuru is planning, so, so, in fact, Hinata Hajime had already thought of this possibility.
[You've always known about this? ] Hinata Sou asked.
【Know.】
【Why didn't you tell me? 】
【It is not necessary.】
[When you say there is no need, do you mean there is no need to tell me this, or there is no need to explain, because things will always come to this point and there will always be a result, and you have seen everything? ]
Kamizuru opened his mouth and said, "The latter."
"But, have you ever thought about one thing, Deru? No matter how indifferent I am, I will know the truth and then I will be sad." Hinata Hajime was choosing his words. Rather than choosing, maybe he just didn't know what to say. He could only keep digging out his own thoughts from his mind. "That is, rather than getting the answer from the Fragment of Despair, I want to hear you talk to me about this matter."
“…Iryou?”
“Perhaps.” Kamukura Izuru said in a steady voice, “I’m telling you in person, the probability of your acceptance is 99%. After the Fragment of Despair is revealed, the probability of your acceptance is 62%.”
Hinata Hajime listened to him reading the numbers, and he couldn't help but close his eyes. "Isn't this a huge difference in probability?"
"I don't know." Kamuzuru Izuru lowered his voice. "In terms of probability, I know it would be much better to tell you directly than now, but I didn't know how to tell you. In the end, I didn't say anything for some unknown reason and kept dragging it on until now."
"Chuang." Kamizuru said, "Should I apologize to you?"
Should I apologize to you?
Hinata Hajime suddenly stood up, and he even felt his heart trembling.
Despair Fragment was startled, and the smile on his face disappeared. He looked at Hinata Hajime, "Are you going to hit someone because you are so angry?"
"If you don't shut up I'm going to hit someone." Hinata Hajime put one hand on his chest and walked to the side. He paced restlessly, completely not knowing what to do.
Hinata Hajime threw all the damn despair fragments, despair hosts, and talents behind him.
What he was thinking now was... Kamukura Izuru said he wanted to apologize?
Really?
Will Kamizaru really apologize?
A bit scary.
Kamuzuru Izuru calmly sensed Hinata Hajime's very strange mood, and then he spoke, "You are so boring."
[This is not boring.] Hinata Souma said: [I really haven't heard you apologize. You always made a decision and did it without telling me.]
[Compared to this, it is better for you to deal with the current affairs first. ]
[Is there anything that can be done about this? ]
[According to what it says, if I purify the despair fragments, I will lose my talent and my ability to excel. If I don't purify them, the despair fragments will continue to spread despair. This is a difficult choice no matter how you look at it. But I can't choose without making a choice. I really hate multiple-choice questions.]
Kamukura Izuru listened to his words, "The worst result is that you, Hinata Hajime, will lose even your personality after the fragments of despair are purified."
[Huh?]
[The result of the experiment is that the preparatory subject named Hinata Hajime has his memories and emotions removed, and you will be restored to the state you were in when your emotions were removed.]
[Becoming outrageous? ]
【No talent.】
【Talent is not the point at all. 】
Hinata Hajime stopped and looked at the wall in front of him, with a hint of thought in his green eyes.
This time, not only Kamuzura Izuru was found, but also Despair Fragment.
Hinata Hajime looked very relaxed, so relaxed that it was unbelievable, as if he was not hurt at all by the truth. He was no different from his usual self.
He didn't seem to care about it at all.
"Hey, Hinata-senpai!" Despair Fragment continued to shout stickily, "What are you thinking about?"
Hinata Hajime turned to look at the Despair Fragment, "Of course I will confirm the details with Izuru."
The overly frank and casual tone made Despair Fragment even more confused.
Why is he like this? Doesn't he care? Isn't he surprised? Isn't he afraid? Shouldn't he be in despair? But why does he still have this attitude until now, calmly asking the other self for details and calmly answering his questions.
"You don't mind this?"
"How could I not care? I care very much." Hinata Hajime looked at the fragments of despair in confusion.
"But..." Fragment of Despair stood up, "You don't look desperate at all."
Hinata thought about it and nodded, "It seems so."
"Why are you not desperate? Don't you care about Kamiro-senpai? What I saw was fake? You don't really have such a deep bond and such ease? Are those all super high school level acting skills? If that's really the case, I really have to admire you, it's really amazing."
"How is that possible?" Hinata Hajime said, "What kind of high school-level acting skills are that? No one would treat acting as a life."
"I am very concerned about leaking. I am very concerned. I am worried about it now. Why, it doesn't seem like it?"
"Not at all." Despair Fragment said, "If you are so worried, why are you so calm?"
Hinata Hajime was silent for a few seconds, then he frowned, "I just wonder, why do I have to take on everything?"
"ha?"
"Whether it's dealing with despair fragments or giving hope to despair hosts, there's even one more thing now, nurturing the so-called hope or despair fragments." Hinata Hajime stroked his chin and thought, "I don't need to do these things, right?"
"I'm just an ordinary person. Even if I have talent now, I shouldn't take on all the responsibilities."
"Maybe I should start a life of my own and leave you to Makoto Naegi and the others to deal with."
Despair Fragment blinked, "Huh?"
"When I think about it this way, I can't even be nervous anymore." Hinata Sou smiled, "In this way, it's not me who makes the choice, but everyone else."
"Will they choose the world or me?" Hinata Hajime sighed, "I always think it's worth looking forward to."
Despair Fragment looked at Hinata Hajime blankly, "You said you don't care anymore?"
"Whether it's hope or despair, regardless of the world, we have to shift the responsibility?"
"Naegi will take care of it even if I don't care, so it's not a shift of responsibility." Hinata Sou sighed, "You know what? At the beginning, I really felt a little uncomfortable, whether you said that the Hope Cultivation Plan was driven by the Despair Fragments, or that if you disappeared, Dedo would disappear with you."
“I was really flustered for a while.”
"Then, Izuru asked me if I wanted to apologize to him. At that moment, I suddenly felt very bored."
Hinata Hajime leaned back against the wall.
“…It’s really boring.”
In the New World Program, Hinata Hajime also encountered such a choice.
Choose the world or choose yourself. If you choose yourself, the world will be invaded by despair. If you choose the world, you will disappear. Then Nanami appears and tells him that everything is possible. The future is created by people, not predetermined.
So Hinata Hajime chose to graduate. He successfully left the new world program and woke up in the real world. Kamijou Izuru did not disappear. They coexisted together, like twins who had been snuggling together since birth.
But this time, Hinata Hajime didn't want to choose.
Why does he always have to make the choice? What's so special about him that he always has to make such a big move?
It's really annoying.
"You know what? I only have one goal now, which is to build a big playground next to Hope's Peak Academy." Hinata Hajime said, "I also want to take pictures at the built playground. I don't have time to make a choice, and I don't have time to waste with you."
“My playground is the most important.”
Despair Fragment was stunned again, "I am not as important as an amusement park?"
"Who do you think you are to compare with my playground?" Hinata Hajime said, "Naegi, I leave it to you."
"Huh? Huh?" Makoto Naegi pointed at himself blankly in the principal's office. "Did Senior Hinata leave me with something important?"
"Kirikiri, can I refuse?"
Kirikiri Hibiki shook her head helplessly, "We have to think of a way, Naegi."
"What solution? What solution..."
"A way to save Hinami-senpai and the world." Kirikiri Hibiki closed the book. "Hinami-senpai, he also gave his life to you."
Makoto Naegi slowly put his head on the table, "Isn't that even more terrifying!"
Hinata Hajime opened the door and left without even turning his head. He stepped into the midday sun, feeling the warmth of the sun.
[Are you an idiot?] Kamukura Izuru finally spoke, [Making a choice is much better than the current situation. This will only make you passive.]
[The probability of making a choice on the spot will result in consequences is 20%, the probability of letting things develop is 70%, and the probability of the despair fragments continuing to cause trouble is 65%]
[However, the probability that I will regret it is 100%]
Hinata Hajime smiled and said, "Do you need me to apologize to you? Derushi."
"I'm sorry, the probability tells me what to do, but my heart doesn't know why I can't make a choice because I care about someone, so I can't speak up at all."
“This is the final result.”
Kamizuru was helpless, "Are you throwing all the words I told you back to me?"
"What does it matter?" Hinata Hajime said, "We can't be separated."
"If I choose the world, the worst result is that you disappear, and I lose my emotions and become an ordinary person again, which is no different from being dead. Of course, I can't choose this choice, so let's go and make things difficult for Makoto Naegi."
"He's a super high school level hope."
Kamuzura Izuru looked into the distance with him, "Just go with the flow?"
"No, it should be called blind trust."
