New World Program, a program that gives hope to the desperate in the virtual world.

In the new world program, Hinata Hajime and his companions successfully updated and returned to normal state, no longer a desperate remnant.

After coming to this world and confirming the matter of the orphanage, Hinata Hajime began to prepare for the reproduction of the New World Program, treating this program as his last trump card. The super high school level artificial hope Kamijou Izuru naturally possessed the talent of the program, so it was not surprising that he could use this program.

Kamukura Izuru looked at the screen and saw the new world program running. After a moment, the words [New World program running successfully] appeared on the screen.

Looking at the picture on the screen, Hinata Hajime murmured, "Is this his hope?"

Yes, that is what he hopes for.

Everything was like a dream, full of despair and regret. His wife's death in childbirth did not defeat Arikawa Ishikazu, nor did his daughter's heart disease. The only thing that defeated him was his so-called love and obsession that led to his daughter's suicide. Sakurako died, taking his heart with her.

Arikawa Ishiwa hopes this is just a dream.

Then, suddenly, he opened his eyes.

He looked at the white ceiling in the house in confusion. Looking at his familiar home, he sat up from the bed and saw his clothes thrown aside. The time displayed on the mobile phone next to him was 6:30. Arikawa Ishiwa got out of bed, he opened the curtains, and the early morning sunlight sprinkled into the room.

The warm light caressed his face, making him want to cry.

"Dad?" A familiar voice sounded behind me.

Arikawa Ishiwa suddenly opened his eyes wide, and he turned around trembling, and saw Sakurako standing at the door. The girl was wearing pink pajamas, and she looked like she was still half asleep, rubbing her eyes in confusion. She ran over and grabbed the corner of Arikawa Ishiwa's clothes, "Dad, why did you get up so early today?"

"Sakurako?" Arikawa Ishiwa squatted down and put his trembling hand on Sakurako's cheek. The girl had just woken up and her face still had the warmth of the quilt.

"Dad, what's wrong with you?"

"No, nothing." Arikawa Ishiwa put down his hands. He tried hard to control himself, but he couldn't hold it back. He hugged his daughter, tears streaming down his face.

Sakura was startled and woke up from her sleep, "Dad, what happened? Why are you crying?"

"It's okay, Dad just missed you too much."

"Great! My daughter is still here."

"It was just a dream, yes, it was just a dream."

Sakurako didn't know what was going on, she just leaned her head on Arikawa Ishiwa's arms to comfort him.

The father and daughter hugged each other, the scene was warm and touching.

[You insisted on pushing Arikawa Ishiwa deeper into despair just for this reason. After absolute despair, you will see your daughter again. The momentary hope will defeat the despair in an instant.]

Kamizuru stared at the screen, [No.]

Hinata Hajime was silent for a moment, then came up with another idea.

[Arikawa Ishiwa did not lose his memory. He knew very well that everything he experienced was real, and he also knew very well that the daughter he saw was fake. However, he could not let go. A daughter who he could touch made it difficult for him to let go even if he knew it was fake.]

[Let his daughter control everything about him. This is the hope that Arikawa Ishikazu has chosen for himself.]

Kamijou Izuru reached out and turned off the New World program. This button did not forcibly awaken people's consciousness, but kept people's consciousness in the New World program forever.

This action confirmed to Hinata Hajime that what he had just said was correct.

Arikawa Ishikazu no longer wants to return to reality. His hope is to spend his life with his daughter in the program.

The death of his daughter and all the despair were dreams; the program was his real life.

At the moment the new world program was closed, a crystal fragment fell from the screen. Kamukura Izuru caught the fragment with one hand, then left the room holding Fujita Momoko in his arms. The fragment emitted light in Kamukura Izuru's hand, and the light swept away the despair around him.

This is the nemesis of despair: fragments of hope.

"Hinata-nii, can I open my eyes now?"

Kamukura Izuru put Fujita Momoko on the ground and said, "Okay."

The seven-year-old girl opened her eyes carefully. She looked at Kamizuru Izuru and after a moment she gave him a sweet smile, "Thank you, Hinata brother."

Kamiya Izuru responded coldly, "No need."

"But, Sakura-san told me that even if it's not necessary, I still have to say thank you when I should." Fujita Momoko lowered her head, "If it wasn't for Hinata-san, I would have been scared to death. Thank you."

【She is right.】

Kamizuru Izuru raised his eyelids slightly and looked at the girl in a tangle in front of him. [A verbal thank you is meaningless.]

[But even so, I still have to thank you.] Hinata Hajime smiled, [Kamiya, thank you.]

Kamisada Izuru closed his eyes.

【Boring.】

…

A dazzling light spread across the entire orphanage. The moment the light spread, Dazai felt the weight pressing on his heart dissipate instantly, and those inexplicable feelings of despair also disappeared. Dazai immediately realized that the despair syndrome had disappeared.

Although no one knows how Hinata Hajime did it, he succeeded.

Running forward in the previous direction, Dazai Osamu kicked away the obstruction in front of him, and finally saw the figures of Hinata Hajime and Fujita Momoko when he turned a corner.

However, the moment he saw Hinata Hajime, Dazai Osamu frowned slightly.

Although he couldn't see Hinata Hajime's face, Dazai Osamu could feel a powerful aura coming towards him just by looking at his profile.

That feeling was different from the dominant power that Hinata Hajime had when he had heterochromatic eyes. It was a feeling of being thrown into a world of ice and snow. Dazai Osamu frowned slightly. He walked towards Hinata Hajime. As if he heard the sound here, Hinata Hajime turned his head slightly.

Dazai Osamu saw Hinata Hajime's red left eye. The coldness in that eye would scare most people.

"Hinata-kun?"

Hinata Hajime turned around, revealing his other light green pupil. He smiled at Dazai Osamu, and the coldness disappeared instantly. "Mr. Dazai."

Seeing that Hinata Hajime had returned to his original state, Dazai Osamu did not pursue the matter too much. After a few seconds, Dazai Osamu spoke again, "Is the matter resolved?"

"Yes, it's Momoko's credit." Hinata Hajime picked up Fujita Momoko who was holding his hand. "Momoko told me something about her and Sakurako. After communicating with Mr. Arikawa, he finally chose to give up despair. The root cause of despair disappeared, so everyone recovered."

Dazai Osamu raised his eyebrows subtly, "That's great."

At this moment, with a bang, Kunikida walked over alone, clearing the obstacles in front of him. He was coughing because of the dust in front of him, and looked a little wolfish.

"Is it resolved?"

"Mr. Kunikida, what are you doing...?"

"I'm fine." Kunikida Dopo quickly interrupted Hinata Hajime's conversation.

He absolutely cannot let them know that he was infected with despair before, and the reason for his despair was that Dazai Osamu had been constantly disrupting his plans! If Dazai Osamu knew about it, he would not only announce it to the entire detective agency, but they would also laugh at him for at least a year!

"Hinata-kun has been solved." Dazai Osamu leaned against the wall, "The plague is gone, and those children should be fine too."

Kunikida took a long breath and stood up after a short rest, ready to go to where the orphans were. "Let's take the children away quickly. There is no reason for the people above to not let the children go out now. Hinata, you know better than us where those children who have been infected with the despair disease are being held."

"I'll leave their place to you."

"Okay." Hinata Hajime handed Fujita Momoko to Kunikida Doppo, "Momoko, follow Kunikida-san back to find everyone. Don't cry anymore. Everyone is fine."

Fujita Momoko nodded seriously, looking very well behaved, "I understand, Hinata brother, be careful."

Turning around and walking in the direction of his memory, Hinata Hajime had temporarily locked up the children who had suffered from despair to prevent them from attacking ordinary people. Now that they have regained consciousness, they will probably be scared, so they must be released as soon as possible.

[I was almost seen by Mr. Dazai just now.] Hinata Hajime said in his heart as he walked, [Can I keep it a secret about Kawaishiwa?]

【No need to pay attention. 】

Their original purpose was to collect fragments of hope, not to transform a bad person into a good one.

[This is another world after all.] Hinata Hajime was helpless.

[The New World program is closed. Even if they look for him, they can only find the unconscious Arikawa Ishiwa. ]

Hinata Sou sighed, "I understand."

Maybe this is not the best ending in the general sense, but in this extreme situation, this is indeed the best ending under the most convenient circumstances. Hinata Hajime got the fragment of hope, the surviving orphans can leave here, Arikawa Ishikazu also got the hope he wanted, and the two gentlemen of the detective agency can also complete their mission.

This is indeed the best ending.

Hinata Hajime released the orphans that had been locked up before. They looked at everything around them timidly, some of whom had seen people killing other children. But when they saw the sunlight outside the orphanage, they couldn't help but walk outside.

Everyone longs for the warmth of the sun and hope.

Hinata Hajime stood there and watched the orphan walk hesitantly to the door. A ray of sunlight splashed on Hinata Hajime. He turned his head to look at the window, and his heterochromatic eyes were dazzling as if they were glowing.

[God's throne, this sunshine is so warm. 】

[This is the illusion that the fragments of hope bring to you. ]

[Don't spoil the fun at this time.] Hinata Hajime smiled helplessly.

"Hey, Hinata!" Kunikida stood at the door of the orphanage and waved at Hinata Hajime.

"I'm coming." Hinata Chuang responded and walked out of the orphanage. At the last moment, he turned his head and took a deep look at the orphanage painted in a bleak white. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were full of determination.

He will definitely be able to collect all the fragments of hope.

Prevent this world-ending event from happening, and...

Save his world.

The author has something to say:

Despair is over!

Of course, not all problems are solved using the New World program, as that would make the plot too repetitive and boring. Using the New World program once or twice is enough.

The next two chapters will be a transition from daily life to the next extraordinary chapter!

ps: From this short chapter, you can see that there are a lot of interactions with Danganronpa, and there will most likely be strange interactions like this in the future.
