There is something very special about seeing the world with your heart.

Kamukura Izuru looked around, silently comparing the two feelings in his mind.

The reason why Hope's Peak Academy cleared out Kamukura Izuru's feelings, memories, and hobbies was because these things would hinder the development of his talents. They wanted a complete collection of talents in whom they could see the truest form of the world, that is, complete digitization, and this so-called digitization can even extend to the future.

Even Enoshima Junko has emotions. She is fascinated by despair and has hope for despair. This is Enoshima Junko's emotion.

But Kamijou Izuru doesn't have that. To him, both hope and despair are predictable. This completely emotionless approach that is beyond his analytical ability makes Kamijou Izuru feel bored with this world. He does not expect anything to develop, nor does he expect anything to change.

And now, Kamiya has realized that emotions are an obstacle to his talents.

When seeing fallen leaves, what comes to mind is not the changes of a tree in four seasons, nor which branch the fallen leaf fell from, but simply watching the yellow leaves spinning in the air like butterflies, being swept by the wind and falling to the ground bit by bit.

He doesn't think anything other than it's a leaf and it's falling.

Kamiya Izuru sat on the bench next to him. There was a ginkgo avenue here with a row of ginkgo trees planted on both sides of the road. Because of the season, ginkgo leaves fell one by one, covering the entire avenue with a golden color. Kamiya Izuru stretched out his hand and a ginkgo leaf fell into his hand.

【Is this the world you have been watching?】

[It's a pretty good world, isn't it?] Hinata Hajime sat in the same position as Kamijou Izuru, in the same posture, with a smile on his face, [A world that lives for talent is too boring.]

Kamiya Izuru put down his hand, and the ginkgo leaf in his hand fell to the ground. He sat quietly on the bench and looked at everything around him.

Just then, a familiar voice sounded.

"Mr. Hinata!"

Kamuzuru Izuru looked to the side and saw Miyazawa Kenji jogging over with something in his arms. The boy had a smile on his freckled face. "I just went to look for Mr. Hinata, but he wasn't where he was before. So I asked several people and found out that he was here."

"What do you want from me?"

"This is it." Miyazawa Kenji handed the item in his arms to Kamuzuru Izuru. "It's a delicious snack. It's a gift from my grandparents who were looking for cats. They asked me to give it to you."

Kamizawa Izuru took the things that Miyazawa Kenji brought him and watched himself take them. Miyazawa Kenji sat next to Kamizawa Izuru and he opened his own portion while swinging his legs.

In the past, Kenji Miyazawa would not get too close to Kamizuru Ide-ryu. Kenji Miyazawa came from a remote countryside and was simple and innocent, but surprisingly, he could sense danger better than anyone else. His sensitivity like that of a small animal made him close to Nisuke Souji, but he would not get close to himself.

But this time, Kenji Miyazawa did not leave.

"Mr. Hinata, don't you want to eat it? It's really delicious!" Miyazawa Kenji blinked, with a bite of the snack in his hand.

Kamukura Izuru looked at him, then he opened the package, took out a piece of snack from it, took a small bite, and the sweet and sticky taste came up, with a little grassy fragrance, but not too sweet. The filling was red beans, very delicate, and the taste was really good.

“Is it delicious?”

"Yeah." Kamuzuru Izuru answered.

"It's great!" Kenji Miyazawa muttered as he ate. "I've never had such a snack before, but there are a lot of delicious things in the village, and there are also many fruits in the forest. I often pick fruits while herding cattle. The fruits are especially fresh."

Kamukura Izuru looked at him and said, "You are a strange president to let someone like you be in charge of gathering intelligence."

"Huh?" Miyazawa Kenji blinked, as if he finally realized something was wrong. He scratched his hair strangely, "Is it Mr. Kamiya?"

"But Kenji did a great job, and the president's method was successful." Kamukura Izuru continued, "To trust others wholeheartedly is a talent."

"Ah, it's Mr. Hinata!"

Kamuzuru Izuru turned his head, finished the snack in his hand, sealed the bag, turned around and left, leaving Miyazawa Kenji sitting there with a confused look on his face.

"Eh? Is it Mr. Kamiya or Mr. Hinata?"

"You would never make a mistake before."

【Don't tease a child. 】

[No, he admitted his mistake himself.]

Hinata Hajime looked at the countless ginkgo trees in front of him. The ginkgo leaves swaying in the wind looked like a sea of ​​flowers. Hinata Hajime closed his eyes and asked, "Where should we go now?"

【Return to the agency.】

[Huh?] Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, [Don’t you hate the trivial tasks of the detective agency?]

Kamukura Izuru put one hand in the pocket of his suit jacket, "But I don't like wandering around with things in my hands. It looks stupid."

Hinata Hajime couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hey, in everyone's eyes, I'm actually being stupid."

【There is no difference.】

[Yes, yes, yes.]

Just like that, Kamuzou Izuru walked forward with the snack that he had only eaten one piece of. Because of the previous incident between Dazai Osamu and the old cat, the time was already around eleven o'clock, and it would be almost time for the detective agency's lunch break if they went back. Kamuzou Izuru didn't care much, and Hinata Hajime cared even less.

Taking a shortcut to a deserted road, Kamijou Izuru stopped because he saw a familiar person. Edogawa Ranpo was lying on his heels in front of a window, as if looking at something.

【Mr. Ranbu?】

There was a reflection in the transparent window, and Edogawa Ranpo spotted Kamukura Izuru at the first moment. He immediately stood firm on his feet, then greeted Kamukura Izuru with a smile.

"Hey! Hinata."

Kamiya Izuru walked over and asked, "Let's go back to the detective agency together?"

"Of course!" Edogawa jumped down the stairs randomly. "Today is not a happy day for the famous detective. It is the most unlucky day in the past few days. This snack shop is my favorite shop recently, but it closed early today. I came late and didn't buy my favorite snacks. And I can't find the way back."

Kamukura Izuru looked at Edogawa Ranpo who was following him with an angry look on his face.

【This is a thank you gift for us. 】

【But we don’t really like this snack, and we were going to share it with other colleagues when we return to the detective agency.】

【Um.】

He handed the snacks in his hand to Edogawa Ranpo, but Edogawa Ranpo, who was walking normally next to him, was stunned for a moment. He looked at the snack bag in Kamukura Izuru's hand and pointed at himself. Kamukura Izuru nodded. Edogawa Ranpo took the snacks, and his eyes lit up when he saw the name inside.

"Which store's snacks are these from, Hinata-kun? Where did you buy them from?"

"It's a gift."

"Well, it's like this." Edogawa Ranpo instantly remembered the phone call from Hinata Hajime, "You don't like this kind of snack?"

Kamuzuru Izuru thought for a moment and said, "It's OK. I don't hate it, but I don't like it too much either."

"Oh." Edogawa Ranpo nodded, then he looked at Kamukura Izuru, "So, are you Kamukura?"

"Why hesitate?"

"Didn't you realize it?" Edogawa Ranpo walked beside Kamukura Izuru with a snack in his hand. "You look a lot like Hinata now, including just now. A normal Kamukura would never walk around with a snack like this, and he wouldn't give it to me directly."

Kamuzuru Izuru calmly replied, "I will."

"It must be Hinata who asked you to do it, not you who followed your heart." Ranpo Edogawa bit his snack, his voice a little unclear, "Everyone in the detective agency can always tell you apart from Hinata, because there is a big difference between you and Hinata. Hinata is gentle to put it nicely, and too nice to put it bluntly. You are completely a villain."

"It's like all the kindness in your heart has been transferred to Hinata."

[…Is my image so easy to bully? ]

[It looks like it.]

"It's good like this now." Edogawa Ranpo said, "This is how I feel like a human being."

After walking out of this road, the detective agency was in front of him. When Ranpo Edogawa saw the familiar road, he ran out. Izuru Kamukura followed behind him, and they both entered the elevator. When he walked out of the elevator, Ranpo Edogawa had already eaten three snacks.

"It's almost time for lunch. If you keep eating snacks, you won't be able to finish your lunch, which is bad for your health."

"Kamikura, would you still care about such a thing?" Edogawa Ranpo looked at Kamukura Izuru in surprise, and then he ate the remaining snack in his hand in one gulp, "Yes, yes, Lord Ranpo will not eat the rest. Since it is a gift for you, then the rest will be distributed to everyone."

So Kamuzuru Izuru watched Edogawa Ranpo run into the detective agency with the remaining snacks, and then announced today's snack distribution in front of everyone. After everyone thanked Edogawa Ranpo, he smiled and said that the snacks were from Kamuzuru Izuru. Then Kamuzuru Izuru successfully saw Kunikida Doppo and Tanizaki Junichiro choked.

"It's great that we're still having a snack in the detective agency." At this moment, a ghostly and sad voice came from the door of the detective agency.

Dazai Osamu rushed in with a wolfish look on his face. "Dear Hinata-kun, do you know how terrible things I went through after you left? If I hadn't been smart enough, what you see now is not the complete Dazai Osamu, but a Dazai Osamu done!"

"As a result, while I was trying so hard to survive, you were happily sharing snacks in the detective agency!" Dazai Osamu covered his mouth and was about to shed a crocodile tear.

Kamuzuru Izuru looked at him and said, "You are the one who has offended so many people. You should bear the consequences yourself."

"Eh?" Dazai Osamu blinked, "Is it Kamiza-kun?"

Kunikida Doppo and Tanizaki Junichiro, who were drinking water, spit out water again. Nakajima Atsushi was secretly glad that he had not had time to eat the snacks he had just shared.

"Huh? It's Kamijou, not Hinata?"

"But it looks like Mr. Hinata, how could it be Mr. Kamiya?"

"Have these two people successfully assimilated?" He and Yosano Akiko flipped through the medical book in their hands, "Let me check the consequences of the fusion of dual personalities."

…

The afternoon at the detective agency was very quiet, so quiet that Dazai Osamu was always looking for a moving address and borrowing money from each member of the detective agency. Even because he was too bored, Ranpo Edogawa went to find the president yawning. Today, they left work an hour earlier than usual, and no one objected because none of them had any commissions.

After returning home, Kamijou Izuru sat on the table. The fragments of hope placed next to him were still missing a corner. They emitted a white light, as if calling for the missing position.

Occasionally, a little light would fly by outside the window, and those tiny bits of hope were flying towards Hinohara, gathering energy for the fragments of hope.

As long as Hinohara doesn't give up, the Fragments of Hope will never give up on him.

[We will leave once the fragments of hope are complete. 】

[I should leave this world. I hope that fragments of hope are not limited to this world.]

[I feel relieved, but also a little reluctant.] Hinata Sou sighed, [I don’t know if we can meet again in the future.]

Kamukura Izuru picked up the piece of hope next to him. The piece of hope that was still missing a corner was diamond-shaped, with a whitish light, and looked like a piece of crystal that had been cut into a certain shape. Probably no one would have thought that such a small piece could influence the development of the world.

At this moment, the cell phone rang with a ding-dong sound. Kamukura Izuru picked up the phone and took a look, and found that it was a message from Dazai Osamu.

Dazai Osamu: Kamiya or Hinata-kun, do you want to watch the fireworks?

Fireworks? There are still fireworks at this time?

Fireworks festivals are usually held in the summer, which happens to be the summer vacation for students, and the trees are full of cherry blossoms. Now that it is autumn, the avenues are covered with ginkgo leaves.

As if he understood that they would have doubts, Dazai Osamu's next message came instantly.

Dazai Osamu: It's not a fireworks party, it's a banquet that the detective agency decided to hold after serious discussions in a meeting. It just so happens that I am too free now, but I won't have the time for this in the future.

Dazai Osamu: Since you didn’t reply within three seconds, I’ll assume you agree. See you in half an hour!

[This guy is still talking to himself.] Kamukura Izuru threw his phone on the table.

[Because he knows we won’t refuse.] Hinata Sou laughed, [But fireworks, I haven’t seen fireworks in a long, long time.]

In their world, fireworks are absolutely forbidden, because they are no longer fireworks, but objects that explode. When the so-called fireworks explode in the night sky, they do not seem to be much different from bombs, and they do not bring beauty, but only fright.

Hinata Hajime looked at the fragment of hope on the table, [When will you leave? ]

【Tomorrow at the latest. 】

[That is, everyone in the detective agency has noticed something, so they are trying their best to invite us over tonight.] Hinata Sou laughed.

Kamijou Izuru responded calmly, agreeing with Hinata Hajime's statement.

[I don’t know what the world will be like in the future. 】

【It might be boring. 】

【With you by my side, how can I be bored? 】

In the spiritual space, Hinata Hajime and Kamizuru Izuru stood face to face. Kamizuru Izuru had long black hair hanging below his waist. Hinata Hajime stood in front of him with gentleness in his green eyes. He stretched out his hand towards Kamizuru Izuru.

Kamijū Izuru looked at Hinata Hajime's hand, and after a moment he put his own hand on it.

They are one person, heart to heart, even their heartbeats are so consistent, so compatible and yet so contrasting.

"Izuru, don't resist the beginning of any relationship." Hinata Hajime intertwined his fingers with his. "Besides, if you can't do it, I'm still here."

Kamiya Izuru looked at him, with a hint of helplessness in his red eyes.

"good."

"We will always be together."

"Um."

Hinata Hajime and Kamijou Izuru approached slowly, and it seemed that even their breathing was mixed together.

A beam of light hit the windowsill, and Kamijou Izuru opened his eyes. He pushed open the window and immediately saw Dazai Osamu waving at him downstairs. Kunikida Dopo behind him slapped him on the back of the head, lecturing him for the umpteenth time for his disturbing behavior.

【Dazai Osamu is still like this. 】

【It's not without reason that he has so many enemies. 】

Hinata Sou sighed, then he opened his eyes, "Come to think of it, Izuru, you haven't told me how I felt after I lent you my heart."

Kamiya Izuru sat at the table, his red and green eyes were calm, and he said: [Maybe it's love.]

【love?】

[But that is your heart.] Kamukura Izuru said: [Who are you in love with?]

Hinata Hajime fell into deep thought. After a moment, he spoke hesitantly, "Love myself?"

【After all, normal people take too much care of themselves. 】
