Giving up sometimes means not only stopping but also looking at the surrounding scenery. There is more than one way forward in this world.

Why do we have to choose one side to move forward to be considered human? Why do we have to be positive and optimistic to be truly alive? Do those who fall into sadness not exist in this world?

No, to the world, we are all the same.

Whether you are happy or sad, whether you stop to rest or continue to work hard to move forward, even if you go backwards, it is the same to the world.

It is sensible to carry everything and move forward, but no one will say anything if you put down your burdens and stay where you are. Hinata thought: No matter what, this is living.

"After staying in other intact worlds for a long time, I feel a little uncomfortable coming here." Hinata Hajime looked around from the highest point of Hope's Peak Academy. The teaching building of the preparatory department had not been demolished yet, and the remnants of the explosion and suicide incidents were still on it, leaving mottled marks.

Kamukura Izuru looked at the world with him, "But it's very familiar."

"Of course I am familiar with it. Didn't you stand here and watch the preparatory student commit suicide by jumping off the building?"

Hinata Hajime was helpless, "You are obviously omnipotent, but when Enoshima Junko tells you to, you just listen. You should learn to refuse, Deru."

“Because it’s boring.”

“Even if it’s boring, you still have to follow the basic rules.”

"Rules are the most boring thing."

Hinata Hajime stepped on the railing of the rooftop. "If you want most people to live in harmony, rules are necessary. Moral requirements and legal control can allow most people to live a stable life. The world revolves for the majority of people."

"Not interested." Kamukura Izuru answered calmly, "These 'most people' have nothing to do with me."

"That's why you're considered the mastermind." Hinata Hajime stood on the rooftop, the wind blowing his long black hair. "However, rules can regulate the world. Although it may lack the fun you mentioned, it can be more stable, and feelings will become more precious."

"Besides, my playground can only be built in peacetime."

Kamuzuru Izuru had long been immune to Hinata Hajime's sudden change of topic, and did not comment on it.

"How about building it there? It can be seen from anywhere in the Hope's Peak undergraduate building." Hinata Hajime pointed to a place not far away. "Right there, I want to build a big Ferris wheel, and then decorate it with many beautiful lights, and then build more amusement facilities in the future."

"You have the final say."

"Why is that? This is our playground."

Kamuzuru Izuru tilted his head. "Ours?"

"Of course it's ours, what else?" Hinata Sou laughed, "Aren't we the same?"

"Then draw the design."

"Huh?"

"Design drawing."

Hinata Hajime covered his mouth, but still let out a little laugh.

Kamizuru ignored him, because even he didn't know why.

When Hinata Hajime said "we", he suddenly began to look forward to the amusement park that Hinata Hajime had always wanted to build. It was "our" thing, "our" playground. When he thought of this word, he even felt a little impatient to see it.

He didn't know what this feeling was, but he understood that he had to follow his heart when it came to Hinata Hajime.

It was like he would always tell Hinata Hajime the truth.

All the love that can be expressed or not is soaked in the word "we".

The world is always worth looking forward to.

…

"So, the current situation is that there is some kind of fragment of despair in Oda Naruto's body, and it is the mastermind behind the scenes, but it can be eliminated. Once Oda Naruto obtains the so-called hope, it will be purified. But once it is purified, Kamijou Izuru will also disappear?" Jushin Byakuya, who had just arrived at Hope's Peak Academy, made a summary.

"Yes, that's it." Naegi Makoto nodded quickly, "Now, what I mean is that the Despair Fragment originally wanted Hinata-senpai to make a choice, but Hinata-senpai didn't choose, so he just threw the problem to me."

"Of course I'll throw it to you. The mastermind behind the scenes wants him to commit suicide." Jushin Byakuya sat on the chair, his voice full of disdain, "Talents like Kamisaki Deru were originally obtained by humans. If you lose it, you lose it, but you can't take the person away with you."

Makoto Naegi sighed, "Yes, that's right. And, according to them, if the Despair Fragments are really purified, Hyuga-senpai will also be greatly affected."

"He might lose his emotions."

"Tsk." Jushin Byakuya was annoyed. "What's wrong with those former Hope's Peak Academy directors? They take away other people's feelings to cause trouble. If there is no emotion, it can't be called hope, it can only be called a weapon."

Kirikiri Hibiki sat on a chair nearby. "So, we came to you to find a solution."

"Stop complaining."

"Then, Naegi, have you thought of a solution?" Jushin Byakuya had just stayed up all night to handle work, and before he could even get some sleep, Naegi Makoto urgently called him over. Now his eyes were dark, he was exhausted, and had a bad temper, and he could explode at any moment.

Makoto Naegi said, "I don't know yet, but I want to find a way to make the world and Hinata-senpai stable together."

“So, what we should think about is what method we should use.”

The three of them fell silent. They sat together worrying and trying to find a solution.

When he was annoyed, Makoto Naegi reached out and took the things he had recorded before, looking at them bit by bit, trying to get clues from the words of Hinata Hajime and Despair Fragment.

As he watched, Makoto Naegi frowned slightly.

"Kikiri, do you remember the Shard of Despair? Didn't he say one thing about the reason for its creation?"

"The establishment of Hope's Peak Academy caused hope to become stronger than despair. Therefore, in order to balance hope, the world consciousness transformed the fragments into despair. In order to balance the relationship between hope and despair, the despair fragments first parasitized the researchers of the Hope Cultivation Project, and then parasitized Enoshima Junko, triggering the largest and most evil despair incident in human history."

"Yes, that's it." Naegi Makoto said, "Then, what I mean is... if we choose to purify this fragment, let the fragment of despair become a fragment of hope."

"A world with only a fragment of hope, would that also be considered too much hope?"

Kirikiri Hibiki was stunned for a moment, then she suddenly realized, "Yes."

"If you look at it this way, it really becomes too much hope."

"And in order to balance hope and despair, world consciousness will spread despair, right?" Jugami Byakuya listened to them, "What kind of world consciousness is this? It doesn't make sense."

"No, there is actually a pattern." Naegi Makoto said, "I remember Hyuga-senpai said that there is a budding fragment in his body, that is the last fragment. Once we choose to purify the fragment, the despair fragment will become hope. Hyuga-senpai will lose himself and his talents, and he may fall into... despair."

Despair will give birth to fragments of despair, and then these fragments of despair will correspond to the purified fragments of hope.

It's still a balance.

"That is to say, we don't actually need to do anything. We just need to let Hinata-senpai complete his goal and breed the fragment of hope. Because in that case, hope and despair are the opposite balance!"

Makoto Naegi stood up, "It would have been terrible if Hinata-senpai had made a choice at that time! Fortunately, he chose nothing and was not prepared to take care of anything."

Jushin Byakuya yawned, "It seems that I have figured out a solution. What should I do now?"

"Hinatsune-sama wants to build a playground!"

"Build it, build it now." Shigan Baiye called his men and asked them to build the amusement park as soon as possible.

"I'll go inform the seniors from the 77th term." Kirikiri Hibiki said, "Put aside all your work. The playground for the seniors is the most important."

Makoto Naegi thought about it for a moment, then he stood up and said, "Then I'll go find Senior Hinata."

"Yeah." Naegi Makoto encouraged himself, "It will be fine!"

I climbed all the way up to the building of Hope's Peak Academy. After all, everyone here is from the Future Agency, and everyone is paying attention to Hinata Hajime. It was too easy to know his location.

When they reached the top floor, Makoto Naegi looked at Hinata Hajime standing on the railing. Although he knew he would not fall, he was still shocked.

"Hinatsune-sama." Naegi Makoto ran over.

Hinata Hajime turned to look at Naegi Makoto, "Naegi?"

He jumped down from it and then spoke, "I'm sorry that I just threw that matter to you."

"No, no, no, of course it's okay!" Naegi Makoto waved his hands quickly, "I just wanted to talk to Hinata-senpai about something."

"What is it?"

"The playground you requested can be started this afternoon."

Hinata Hajime blinked. "Huh? Didn't you say you wanted to think about it?"

"Of course there is no need to think about it. Everyone voted unanimously and Jushin has already found someone to start the work." Naegi Makoto said with a smile: "In short, I hope that Hinata-senpai can do what he wants to do, no matter what he does. Also, the seniors of the 77th term will be here soon."

Hinata Hajime looked at him, and after a moment he spoke, "It's a bit suspicious."

"Not suspicious at all." Makoto Naegi said frankly: "Maybe our world is really like this. Hope and despair are always there, affecting most things as their nature. However, everyone living in this world is living a normal life."

"The same goes for Hyuga-sama. No matter what you choose, we should support you."

"Are you sure it's not for some purpose?" Hinata Hajime said with a smile.

Makoto Naegi scratched his temples awkwardly, "A little bit, but I really think so."

"I think I know what you want to do. It might be a good idea." Hinata Hajime looked at the sky ahead. "I will open the amusement park as usual after it is built."

"Of course!"

【See, there is always a way, right? 】

[There must be hope in the world, and there must also be despair. Four of the fragments have been used to repair the world. The remaining two fragments, one for despair and one for hope, are the balance.]

Kamiya Izuru listened to him, and after a moment he spoke, "Have you thought of a name?"

【name?】

【The name of the amusement park.】

[Eh? No…]

At this moment, Hinata Hajime and the others heard the sound. He looked forward, and the next moment he saw someone running towards them.

Souichi and Ichi ran while shouting "friend", waving their hands as if they were spinning in circles.

Not far behind, everyone was also coming over one after another. After not seeing each other for a year, everyone was still the same as before. The two big cats and the terminal Akane quickly surpassed Zuo Tian and Yi. If there were no guards at Hope's Peak Academy, they would probably have been able to climb up directly from outside the building.

Hinata Hajime looked at them with a smile in his green eyes.

“So fast.”

"Yeah, it was fast." Naegi Makoto touched his chin, his face full of confusion, "Why is it so fast? I remember Kirikiri was the one who notified me when I arrived."

"…They wouldn't have just gone on strike the moment they knew Hinata-senpai was here, would they?"

Hinata Hajime and Naegi Makoto looked at each other.

Thinking about the group of guys from the 77th term, Hinata Hajime felt that Naegi Makoto's inference was very reasonable. Yes, this was something they could do.

"Is this really the case?!" Naegi Makoto was shocked.

Hinata Hajime coughed and looked outside. "The weather is nice today."

"Well, I'll go down first. Naegi, you can enjoy the scenery."

Makoto Naegi watched Hinata Hajime slip away quickly. After a moment, he looked outside and asked, "Is there any nice scenery here?"

"Compared to the scenery, am I going to work overtime again?"
