"Hinata-kun, come down quickly!" Dazai Osamu waved his hand towards Kamukura Izuru, "Everyone is waiting for us!"

Kamuzuru Izuru looked at the people downstairs and said, "Go ahead and say goodbye to them."

【You're not going? 】

【unnecessary.】

[I understand.] Hinata Sou sighed, [I will take your part as well and say goodbye to them properly.]

The control of the body passed to Hinata Hajime. He exhaled, then reached out and picked up the fragment of hope on the table. When passing the bathroom, Hinata Hajime glanced at himself in the mirror. He had short black hair and heterochromatic eyes, one red and one green. Hinata Hajime smiled, looking gentle.

It seems that when he came to this world and met Dazai Osamu and the others, he was in the state of heterochromatic eyes, and now he continues to say goodbye in this state.

Is this what is meant by a beginning and an end?

No longer thinking about these random things, Hinata Hajime opened the door and went downstairs. At the entrance, Dazai Osamu was waving hands with Hinata Hajime in the car. As for Kunikida Dopo, he was sitting in the driver's seat with his brows furrowed. He looked pale, and it was unknown if Dazai Osamu was mad at him.

"Mr. Kunikida doesn't look well. Are you sick?" Hinata Hajime sat in the back seat of the car and fastened his seat belt.

"No, I didn't." Kunikida Dopo's face turned pale. "I just regret it."

"What do you regret?"

"I regret letting this seaweed-head get in the driver's seat before me!"

Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment. He looked at Dazai Osamu who was sitting in the passenger seat with a happy face, and then glanced at Kunikida Doppo who was sitting in the driver's seat and was so angry that he was about to beat Dazai Osamu while fastening his seat belt.

"Mr. Dazai, are you driving without a license?"

"It's more serious than this!" Kunikida Dopo turned around, his face full of sternness, "Hinata, never let an unreliable person drive the car in the future, absolutely not! I was really crazy and asked Dazai Osamu to get the car keys, but this guy stayed in the driver's seat and refused to get up. I thought maybe this guy's driving skills were better than before, so I let down my guard."

"It turns out that I was too naive when I let my guard down!"

Kunikida Doppo felt like vomiting when he thought of how fast Dazai Osamu was driving along the way. He was sitting in the passenger seat and was so scared watching Dazai Osamu driving. It was the time when office workers were getting off work, and the road was full of cars and people. Dazai Osamu was speeding all the way at a speed that was almost speeding.

When he arrived at the location, he did a big drift and almost blew out his lunch.

"You are no longer allowed to drive! Dazai Osamu!"

"My driving skills are great!" Dazai Osamu was not convinced. "Let Hinata-kun judge and let me drive again!"

"You wish!"

Kunikida started the car alone, and Dazai Osamu turned his head as the car started.

"Is it Hinata-kun now?"

"Yes." Hinata Hajime leaned back in his chair, "Izuku doesn't like crowded places."

"There are only a few of us here, and this is considered a crowded place." Dazai Osamu said in disgust, "After all, Kamiya-kun just doesn't like to interact with others. Really, if he is like this, he can't enter the society and can't grow up. It breaks my heart to think that Kamiya-kun is still like a child after so many years."

Hinata Hajime: ...

"Mr. Dazai, do you have a lot of enemies?" Hinata Sou asked, "Have you really never been beaten up by anyone?"

Dazai Osamu: ...

"Hinata-kun, are you calling me annoying?"

"If you think so, then that's fine."

The car made a sharp turn and Dazai Osamu was almost thrown against the window. He slowly fastened his seat belt and then stared at Hinata Hajime again.

"Are you really Hinata-kun?"

"Of course." Hinata Hajime looked at Dazai Osamu strangely, "Mr. Dazai, do you think I'm a derushi? Logically speaking, there should be a big difference between me and a derushi."

"No, no, no, I am now a supporter of the one-person theory." Dazai Osamu made an X on his chest.

"The same evil duo who have no sympathy and do not help others in need!"

【Give him a gift before leaving. 】

[…Let me ask first, what is this gift about? Is it a positive or negative word?]

【You should know this very well.】

[Dazai Osamu's crime of being a slut does not deserve the death penalty! 】

Fortunately, the car stopped, and Hinata Hajime didn't need to continue debating with Kamukura Izuru in his heart about "the one hundred pros and cons of Dazai Osamu's existence in the world". Because the discussion was too intense, he even didn't hear Dazai Osamu's questions several times, so that the pros he listed were no match for the cons summarized by Kamukura Izuru.

If we continue discussing this, it will turn into Dazai Osamu's 100 ways of dealing with things.

After getting out of the car, Hinata Sou breathed a sigh of relief, and then he saw someone waving at him in the open space.

This time, not only investigators from the detective agency came, but also non-staff members.

Including Naomi Tanizaki and clerk Kirako Haruno, even the investigator Hanada Tayama who had resigned was pulled over. Hanada Tayama was sitting in the corner wrapped in a quilt, looking confused. There was even a calico cat squatting on the table, staring at the dried fish on the plate.

"It's the cat teacher!" Dazai Osamu jumped onto the table when he saw the cat, but the cat seemed particularly smart. It jumped over and then ran to Hinata Hajime's side and meowed softly at him.

Hinata Hajime blinked his eyes, squatted down and stretched out his hand to the cat, and the calico cat jumped directly into Hinata Hajime's arms.

"Hey! That's a foul." Dazai Osamu laid on the table and stared at Hinata Hajime with resentment, "You never let me touch you, but you took the initiative to go to Hinata-kun."

Hinata Hajime smiled gently, "I think it's very well behaved."

Unlike the rough hair on an old cat, this cat's hair was obviously taken care of by someone, and its hair was very smooth, indicating that the cat was in its prime, agile and full of energy. Kamiya Izuru looked at the cat quietly, feeling the cat's blood flowing in his arm.

【Not the same as that cat. 】

[Of course, this cat is still alive, and may live for a very long time.] Hinata Hajime walked into the middle of the detective agency with the cat in his arms, [Just like the young people here, they still have a bright and beautiful future, but the old cat has already reached the end of his life, so of course it is a different feeling.]

Kamizuru was silent, [Will you also reach the end of your life one day? ]

Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, and after a moment he put the cat back on the table. [As an omnipotent person like you, you should know this better than anyone else. As long as you are human, there will be a day when you die.]

【However, we don’t need to worry about this. 】

Because, whether it's you or me, when we leave, we will always take someone else with us.

Although we did not come into this world at the same time, we were destined to leave together.

"Hinata, come here!" Edogawa Ranpo waved at Hinata Hajime while eating his meal, "Hurry up!"

[Ranpo-san is calling us.] Hinata Hajime said.

【I want to say goodbye to you. 】

【I know.】

Hinata Hajime smiled, he reached out and rubbed the cat's fur again, then turned and walked to Edogawa Ranpo, who had just finished the last bite of his meal. He found a napkin, wiped his mouth, and pulled Hinata Hajime forward.

"Where are you going?"

"Go see the president." Edogawa Ranpo winked at Hinata Hajime, "Don't worry, Ranpo-sama is helping you."

"well?"

"Aren't you leaving?" Edogawa Ranpo said, "You can't hide it, Ranpo-sama. Since the last death game incident, you are no longer as nervous as before, and you are not anxious to find documents. In the case of the outside world, this can only mean that in your cognition, desperate incidents will not continue to occur."

"You came to the detective agency to deal with this. It's normal to leave after this matter is over." Edogawa Ranpo let go of his hand, and then he pushed open the door in front of him, "Go and resign. I have already told the president to pay you three times the salary!"

In the office, Fukuzawa Yukichi was standing there. When he opened the door, he looked outside with the same serious look as always. Hinata Hajime smiled helplessly.

"Thank you, Mr. Ranbu."

[Although I was only there for a short period of time, everyone in the detective agency seemed to really treat me as a companion.]

【I said, affinity is your talent. 】

Hinata Hajime nodded, he walked into the office and had the longest negotiation with the president of the Armed Detective Agency.

To be honest, the reward was of no use to Hinata Hajime, and he didn't want the money paid by Fukuzawa Yukichi. If he was short of money, he could always get a lot of it. Besides, he came to the detective agency for his own convenience, so he rejected all the rewards offered by Fukuzawa Yukichi.

"Since you don't want money, Hinata, what do you want?" Fukuzawa Yukichi didn't find it strange and didn't continue asking, but just asked him what he wanted.

Hinata shook his head, "I think I got what I wanted."

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at him. "What is it?"

"This is a wonderful experience that cannot be bought with money." Hinata Hajime sat across from Fukuzawa Yukichi. "Perhaps President Fukuzawa doesn't know, but my hometown is actually experiencing war. So, coming to such a peaceful place and being able to interact with everyone like this is already a very wonderful thing for me."

"So, President Fukuzawa doesn't need to pay me anything."

Fukuzawa Yukichi looked at Hinata Hajime in silence. After a moment, he nodded, "I understand. Then, the detective agency welcomes you back again."

"Everyone in the detective agency likes you very much, please remember that."

"good."

Hinata Hajime turned around and left the office. It was already dark outside. When Hinata Hajime came out, everyone was preparing to set off fireworks. When Dazai Osamu saw Hinata Hajime, he excitedly pulled him over. He pointed at the night sky and said a lot of nonsense. Only then did Hinata Hajime notice that this guy was holding a bottle of shochu in his hand and he already smelled of alcohol.

"Hinata, why did you spend so much time talking to the president? You almost missed the fireworks."

"Hinata is here, everyone can get ready to set off fireworks!"

"Mr. Hinata, it's nice to meet you."

"Hinata-san, I wish you all the best in the future!"

"Mr. Kamiya has to work hard too!"

"So, with such a good atmosphere, Kamiya-kun really won't come out?" Dazai Osamu hiccuped, "She really is like a high school girl who is too shy to show up."

[Izuru, I think your previous suggestion is very good.] Hinata Hajime said with a smile: [Let's give Mr. Dazai a gift.]

Kamijū Izuru looked at Hinata Hajime strangely and did not answer.

Fireworks exploded in the sky, beautiful fireworks dotted the stars in the night sky. The girls watched intently without blinking, the boys were also admiring them, and even the cat lying on the corner of the table was looking up, with the trails of the fireworks imprinted in its eyes.

Countless points of light spread from all directions to a certain location, and those lights that only Hinata Hajime could see gathered into a small piece in the air.

Among the white spots of light, a small tip flew in front of Hinata Hajime. After circling around Hinata Hajime, it contentedly merged into the fragment of hope. From then on, the fragment of hope was complete, and there would never be hopeless events in this world again.

In the intensive care unit of Yokohama Public Hospital, the man slowly opened his eyes.

He breathed deeply, and his exhaled breath covered the respirator with a layer of white mist. He tried to sit up, but his limp body did not respond at all. However, with his efforts, he swept away an instrument on the table. With a bang, the caregiver sleeping next to him was awakened.

She rubbed her eyes, and the next moment she saw Hinohara Ichi with his eyes closed.

"Mr. Hino?!" The nurse rushed out of the ward, "Doctor! Nurse! Mr. Hino is awake!"

As the noises around him became increasingly noisy, Hinohara's consciousness slowly regained consciousness. He stared at the ceiling and suddenly realized his current situation.

He woke up, returned to reality from the shattered game world, and was still alive.

Suddenly, Hinohara Ichi burst into tears. He didn't cry out loud, but tears kept rolling down the corners of his eyes. His vision was blurry, but he couldn't hold back his tears.

This time, he will definitely live well and try his best to make the best game. Just like what the detective said, he will use his love and efforts to break the uncertain future. Dreaming about games will definitely not be his last dream.

The fireworks went out, as if foreshadowing something. Hinata Hajime greeted everyone, including Hanada Tayama, whom he didn't know.

"Mr. Dazai." Finally, Hinata Hajime stood in front of Dazai Osamu, "I managed to suppress Izuku's desire to take revenge on you. You should thank me."

"Isn't this what Hinata-kun should do?"

"As you would expect," Hinata Sou sighed, "Well, goodbye then."

Dazai Osamu took another sip of wine, his iris-colored eyes smiling, not drunk at all, and said, "Goodbye."

Goodbye, strangers whom I met by chance in life.

Hinata Hajime walked out of the open space and came to the seaside. It was late at night and there was no one on the seaside. Hinata Hajime opened his hands and a complete fragment of hope floated out of his hands, flashing a beautiful white light. It circled around Hinata Hajime, as happy as a cat that had seen its owner.

He turned around and looked behind him again, finally giving a hearty smile, and the next moment his body turned into a ray of light.

Gradually disappearing in this world.

…

It was a pure white space, fragments of hope were floating around Hinata Hajime, and an empty voice was heard.

"You successfully recovered the fragment of hope. Thank you for your hard work."

"No, if this can really save the world, then it's not that hard." Hinata Hajime pushed his hands, hoping that the fragments would float forward and then slowly shatter. They joyfully turned into points of light and flew in all directions of the world. Hinata Hajime could see their world through the white space.

Wherever the light spot reached, a desperate remnant would suddenly stop moving, put down their weapons, and look at their palms blankly.

It really works!

"I'm very sorry, but a fragment of hope can only do this much. I need you to continue to help me find the remaining fragments." The voice of the world consciousness was full of apology, "But I think I might be able to help a little. If I can, I will prepare a gift for you in the next world."

Hinata Hajime was stunned for a moment, "Gift?"

"Yes, but my connection with other worlds is not strong. The most I can do is to force you to go there. As for the gift, I don't know when it will appear."

Hinata Hajime sighed helplessly, "Yes, this is also the reason why you chose me."

The world consciousness can only send one person at most to collect the fragments of hope, which is why the world consciousness chose Hinata Hajime. There is also a Kamukura Izuru in his body, which is equivalent to spending the energy of one person to send two people, so the world consciousness did so.

"I am so ashamed." The world consciousness lowered its voice, "This is obviously my responsibility."

"No, I'm not blaming you."

"I will do my best to protect this world so that it won't get worse." The voice of world consciousness is gentle yet powerful.

"I'll leave the rest to you, Hinata Hajime."
