Hinata Hajime's phone could no longer be reached, and Edogawa Conan didn't dare to continue calling, for fear that Hinata Hajime would be with an important person when he called.
But what exactly is this list?
"Kudo, are you going to call the police?" Haibara Ai checked all the information and finally found that there were almost no high-level figures here, and even their residences were all in different places. The only thing in common was that they were facing despair that could change their lives.
Conan Edogawa looked at the name of one of the people, and he was very familiar with that name.
Yoneda Yuu.
The abandoned house where he and Hinata Hajime had been. Hinata Hajime had told him before that he had caught this man. Then Conan Edogawa looked down, and the next moment he saw Taro Mizuide, who had been investigated for his death during the day. Since blood samples of no less than three people were found on Taro Mizuide's clothes, the investigation is still ongoing.
Ai Haibara noticed Conan Edogawa's gaze, and she checked Yoneda Yu's house. The next moment she was slightly surprised.
"Kudo, this Yoneda Yu sold his house today."
"Huh?" Edogawa Conan looked over in surprise.
Ai Haibara pointed at the screen to Conan Edogawa, "Because he needed money urgently, Yoneda Yu sold the house to a real estate agent at half the market price. Because the information was complete and he really needed money urgently, the real estate agent accepted the house on the spot, and the transfer has now been completed."
"In other words, this Yoneda Yuu... although he is a participant, he has already left this game?"
"You could say that."
Conan Edogawa frowned slightly, and after a moment he suddenly remembered something. In the small building in Yoneda, Hinata Hajime once picked up something from the trash can on the second floor. He just took a quick glance at it at the time. Those were some messy documents. Now thinking about it, they were simply the procedures for buying and selling a house.
Could it be that Hinata Hajime had already thought of this moment from the very beginning?
"I know what to do." Edogawa Conan raised his head, "I will report that Yoneda Yuu is the one who killed Mizuide Taro."
Huiyuan Ai was stunned for a moment, "You said it was him, so it must be him? Don't you need evidence?"
"Yu Yoneda won't deny it." Conan Edogawa put the list in his hand on the table, "Hyuga Hajime has helped Yu Yoneda eliminate his worries. His father's medical expenses have been settled, and Yu Yoneda doesn't need to continue to participate in this game. Hinata Hajime once said that Yu Yoneda is a person who has never done anything evil."
"Do you believe him?"
"You have to believe it once." Edogawa Conan pushed his glasses, "If you want the police to take it seriously, you have to expose this matter completely."
Looking at the determined Edogawa Conan, Huibara sighed, "You are worthy of being me, Kudo."
…
Kamiya Izuru doesn't like to talk, and he doesn't like to explain. He has too little desire for this world, and sometimes even breathing is boring. He thinks too much, and his super high school level analytical ability brings him endless boredom. He simply can't find anything that needs to be explored.
Therefore, it was difficult for him to be motivated about anything, unless Hinata Hajime asked him to take action, like now.
Kamukura Izuru was well aware that his previous performance had attracted the other party's attention. He felt that it was stupid for him to wait here. He could even say that he had calculated the time when the other party would come over. But he still sat here waiting, chatting with Hinata Hajime in the boredom.
【Go to the cafe? 】
【refuse.】
【Why? 】
[It's very troublesome and will attract attention. ]
Hinata Sou nodded helplessly, "By the way, there's a policeman in the cafe. If I go there after everything is over, I might get a meaningless conversation, so forget it."
【I have no interest in celebratory dinners.】
[Interest can be cultivated, and I am eating with you.] Hinata Hajime sat on the ground and stretched his back. [After leaving the New World Program, I have always felt that it is really great to be able to have a meal with my friends. Everyone is around me, and I feel satisfied.]
[I feel that... no matter how many mistakes I made in the past, my life was not lived in vain.]
Kamuzuru Izuru leaned back on the bench and said, "Hmm."
[Am I talking to myself a bit?] Hinata Hajime muttered, [So far, no one knows about Deru's existence. I don't know whether to say that they are not sensitive enough or too casual. It seems that only Komaeda and Naegi have noticed something wrong. Nanami may have also noticed it a little.]
It was because Naegi had too much contact with him. After waking up from the New World Program, Hinata Sou participated in many actions of the Future Organization in order to atone for his sins. They often dealt with each other, whether it was to wipe out the Desperate Remnants or to investigate the scope of the Desperate Force, so Naegi was the first person to notice that he was occasionally not quite right.
As for Komaeda, he is simply too sensitive to despair and hope. His attitude towards Kamizura Izuryu is very complicated. He thinks that Kamizura Izuryu, who possesses all the talents, is hope, but he also hates his identity as the mastermind behind despair, especially since these two identities are also superimposed on the preparatory subject Hinata Hajime.
Every time he meets Komaeda Nagito, Hinata Hajime feels as if countless knives will burst out from this person's gentle smile.
As an AI, Nanami often assists Hinata Hajime in his work, and she discovered early on that sometimes there were words in Hinata Hajime's mission reports that did not quite fit with him.
Yes, those were all written by Kamizuru.
Kamizura Izuryu is well aware that he would be hated by everyone in the 77th and even 78th generations if he were naive. However, after Hinata Hajime declared that his and Kamizura Izuryu's personalities had merged, both sides accepted them at the same time. They did not trust Kamizura Izuryu, but they trusted Hinata Hajime.
Hinata Hajime alone carries all the past and the future, and strives to appease everything and atone for the past.
But he never said no.
Kamijou Izuru knew a long time ago that Hinata Hajime couldn't let go of anyone, including himself.
The sound of the dead leaves being stepped on was so crisp that it interrupted the exclusive conversation between the two people. Kamiya Izuru didn't need to look back to know who was coming. In the time he planned, the error was no more than three minutes. It was the desperate host. He couldn't wait to see deeper despair.
"Can I sit next to you?" the man asked in a low voice, looking a little timid.
Kamizuru Izuru didn't answer. He just glanced at the man lightly. Because he was not rejected, the man sat down tremblingly.
No matter how you look at him, he looks like a person who has just come into contact with the Wishing Stone Game and is extremely confused. It seems that he chases after someone he sees out of panic and pain.
"Are you also a participant in the Wishing Stone game?" The man looked at Kamuzuru Izuru, "Hello, my name is Toyama Takafumi, and I would like to ask, can wishes really be fulfilled there as those people say? Can I really get what I want after winning?"
Kamizuru looked at him calmly, "Do you think I'm a hopeless person?"
Toyama Takafumi was stunned for a moment, then he shook his head gently, "No, sir, you look... different from the rest of us. There doesn't seem to be any sadness in your eyes."
"Sorry." Takafumi Toyama lowered his head with empty eyes.
[What a coincidence, he must be the host of despair.] Hinata Hajime looked at this man, [Izuru, casually asked him the reason for his despair.]
【Ask yourself.】
[But aren't you the one in charge now? ]
"What is your wish?" Kamiya Izuru asked without any hesitation.
Hinata Hajime: ...
It's just a casual question.
"Eh? A wish?" Toyama Takafumi looked at Kamuzura Izuru in surprise. After a moment, he lowered his head. "My wish? I hope my lover can survive."
Takafumi Toyama looked at the ring on his ring finger. The ring was silver-white, and it was obvious that the owner loved it very much. The ring shone with beautiful light, but there was a small dent inside the ring. He raised his head towards the sunlight, and his originally lifeless eyes were filled with love that was difficult to conceal.
He said, “I miss her so much.”
"I often feel that she is still alive and still by my side. My friends also said that I was crazy and that I was laughing at the air for no apparent reason, which scared them. They told me not to live in the past but to look to the future." Takafumi Toyama looked at the ring with love, "But they don't know that I am actually very happy."
"I will never forget her."
[Lover?] Hinata Hajime frowned slightly, [Because of the dead lover, he fell into despair, and the strong love turned into a curse that dragged him into the abyss. If it was because of this that he was chosen by the Despair Fragment, it seems normal.]
Kamukura Izuru looked at Toyama Takafumi calmly, "Don't you think it's impossible to bring the dead back to life?"
"I know. So, the other party told me that I need to complete a lot of games. Only by winning continuously can I meet her again." Toyama Takafumi murmured, "I didn't believe it at first, but when I thought that one day I could meet her, it didn't matter even if I saw her ghost!"
"I must meet her again, so that our love can be linked together forever! Whether alive or dead."
[So disgusting.] Hinata Hajime couldn't help but cover his chest, [I believe he really loves his lover, but his description is full of things that are not like normal people.]
"How did she die?" Kamuzuru Izuru asked.
"It was an accident." After talking about the death of his lover, Toyama Takafumi's eyes dimmed, he put down his hands, his voice became lower, and he lowered his head. "That night, we exchanged engagement rings in the room, everything was so beautiful, and then when she was going home, she was hit by a car. There was a fatal curve there, no one was there, and there was a cliff next to it, and she was knocked off the cliff."
"By the time I found her, she was already dead."
Toyama Takafumi's voice became lower and lower, and Hinata Hajime and Kamijou Izuru both noticed the aura of despair emanating from him.
That aura of despair was completely different from that of other people. The person in front of him was definitely the host of despair himself.
"I failed to protect her." Toyama Takafumi clenched his hands tightly, his eyes red, "So, I want to see her again and protect her again. I will definitely try my best to love her and never let her leave in this way again."
"If this game can really give her back to me, I'm willing to participate."
Kamiya Izuru leaned back on the bench, bored, "Oh."
As if irritated by Kamizuru Izuru's cold words, Toyama Takafumi stood up suddenly. He stared at Kamizuru Izuru, his eyes becoming redder than before due to sadness and anger. With this extremely aggrieved expression, he questioned Kamizuru Izuru, "Isn't this hopeless enough? Why are you so cold!"
"Can you be more desperate than I am?"
Kamiya Izuru looked at him calmly, his tone perfunctory, "My despair is sitting here listening to a story told by an innocent person, and not being able to leave."
"Huh?" Toyama Takafumi was stunned for a moment.
"That's enough of the story. Since you have nothing else to do, you can leave."
Toyama Takafumi's eyes widened. "What are you talking about? Are you saying you are making up a story? You are denying the love between me and my lover!"
"No, explain it to me clearly!"
As he spoke, Takafumi Toyama rushed forward, his expression became fierce, and he reached out to grab Kamuzuru Izuru's tie, but the person sitting on the chair grabbed his wrist and twisted it hard to his back, and then pressed him directly on the bench. Kamuzuru Izuru's expression did not change, and his red eyes were filled with boredom.
"Don't bother me."
"Don't insult my love!"
"Insult your lover?" Kamuzuru Izuru said softly, "You are the one who insulted her."
Toyama Takafumi's body froze.
"After all, you are the one who killed your loved one."
[Huh?] Hinata Hajime was stunned, [What did you say? He killed his lover?]
Kamizuru thought: This world is just that simple.
There are people who fall into despair because of others, but those who can fall into despair for others will never willingly hurt others. They will suffer from a strong sense of guilt. People like Takafumi Toyama who directly intervene in despair incidents are rare.
So, in the end, he did it for himself.
Like the lover he realized how much he loved only after he killed her.
Love is really something that is hard to understand.
