[Danganronpa] Falling in love with despair and hope

With very cheerful steps, instead of returning to the undergraduate building along the original route, he turned a corner and walked towards the No. [-] building of the research institute.

Although Hope's Peak Academy is only a high school, it has an independent scientific research education system, top-notch technical equipment and a fairly mature research building.

It seems that since a year ago, the research institute has banned others from entering, obviously before that this area was provided for capable students to conduct experiments - as long as the application is submitted in advance.

Such a sudden move naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of the students, not to mention that the students who can enter Hope's Peak Academy have superhuman talents.

There was no response to the upward proposal. The college seemed to have made up its mind. After a long time, this matter was forgotten.

Building No. [-] of the research institute is where materials are stored. Through the glass sensor door, there are decorative potted plants on both sides of the corridor, which can be regarded as a little bit of green in this slightly desolate place.

The same elevator, different destinations, the elevator buttons are arranged sequentially from one to nine.Komaeda Nagito didn't even look at it, and lightly tapped the side wall twice with his knuckles inside the elevator.

At the height of a person's waist, a square of about ten centimeters is recessed downward, and at the same time, it is separated from the middle and moves to the left and right. Square buttons marked with the words "B1" and "B2" appear in the recess.

After pressing "B2" with the fingertips, the wall automatically returned to its original smooth appearance. If you are not familiar with it, no one would have thought that there is a hidden entrance leading to the underground in such a place.

The elevator landed steadily, and the people standing inside could not feel the slightest vibration or discomfort.

Komaeda Nagito is no stranger to this place, one of the reasons is that his parents were both researchers working here.

Why do you say once?That, of course, is because his parents died in an accident long before he entered Hope's Peak Academy.

I heard about it from my parents since I was born, and it was called Hope's Peak Academy's greatest transformation plan - "Hope Cultivation Project".This is the first time that the concept of "hope" was recognized by Komaeda Nagito, and it was quietly sown into his heart like a seed.

What exactly is "hope"?

The young Komaeda Nagito had racked his brains to think about such a question.

So he entered Hope's Peak Academy with the nickname "Super High School Luck", which was quite ironic to him. The reason why he was given this nickname by his classmates was actually because the perpetrator of the accident compensated him. The only family member of his parents, that is, he—Komaeda Nagito has a very considerable fee.

To Komaeda Nagito, he felt that he was indeed a lucky person.

is a lucky man.

— but not a lucky thing.

The biggest supporter of the "Hope Cultivation Project" and also the principal of Hope Peak Academy, Tianyuan Kazuo, was the teacher of Komaeda Nagito's parents when he was in school. He noticed this fanatical pursuit of hope when Komaeda Nagito entered school. child.

From Komaeda Nagito's eyes, one can see the abnormal attachment to the existence of "absolute hope".

He brought the 16-year-old Komaeda Nagito to the center of the project.

In front of the huge container soaking the human body, Tianyuan Kazuo looked at the white-haired boy kindly.

"Do you want to witness that no matter what kind of despair you can overcome the hope of transcendence?"

Komaeda Nagito, who was still ignorant at the time, tilted his head, as if thinking about the meaning of these words, and then answered without hesitation.

"miss you!"

————————————————————————————

"Hey, Dean, are you looking for me?" Nagito Komaeda waved his hand to greet Kazuo Tengan who was watching the huge screen.Complex numbers and images danced on the screen, and several people in white protective suits sat in front of the operating desk.

Tenyuan Kazuo leaned on a cane, turned around, squeezed a smile on his wrinkled face, and welcomed Nagito Komaeda, "Ah, Komaeda is here."

"The dean rarely calls me here, is there something wrong?"

That's right, even if he knew about the "Hope Raising Project", Nagito Komaeda would not be able to participate in it at all. After all, this is a very high-end project that requires hundreds—perhaps more than a few—professional researchers to participate, only the "lucky" ones What can talent do?

Nagito Komaeda, who is very self-aware, has only been looking forward to the results of this plan.

"Although it seems a little late to tell you now, but..." Tianyuan and Fu still seemed a little hesitant, and they didn't even have enough confidence, "It's finished."

As soon as the words fell, Komaeda Nagito's heart beat violently.Tenyuan Kazuo said very vaguely, but Komaeda Nagito could clearly understand what he meant.

The "Hope Breeding Project" has been completed.

So there is hope too.

His dream of hope.

Nagito Komaeda couldn't restrain his blood that was about to boil and his eagerness to wait. He couldn't believe that the hope he had waited for so long would finally appear.

The vocal cords trembling slightly due to excitement seemed to be uncontrollable at this time, and the words were spoken with undisguised excitement, and the corners of the mouth curved upward in an incredible arc.

"So, that is to say, the hope we are looking forward to..."

Tianyuan Kazuo interrupted his faster and faster speaking, looked straight into Komaeda Nagito's eyes seriously, and said the truth mercilessly, "No, our plan is indeed completed, but the result seems to be ...not as we expected."

Komaeda Nagito froze for a moment, adjusted his mentality and frowned, the corners of his mouth unconsciously pursed tightly, "Not as... as expected?"

Although Tianyuan Kazuo didn't want to admit it, he still sorted out his language and told him the content of the plan.

"The so-called 'Hope Nurturing Project' is to make the experimental subjects have all the 'super high school level' talents through direct brain surgery. Our research has been very successful, but we have neglected one point - the shaping of the experimental subjects' own personalities .”

"When the plan started, we had been doing theoretical research until a year ago... there was a student who volunteered to be an experimental subject."

"Both physically and mentally, it is very in line with the experimental standards, and it is almost the experimental subject of our dreams."

"Test completed two months ago."

"There is no doubt that the experimental subject has all the talents of 'super high school level', but... that is limited to talents."

"Because he lost all his memories before the operation, he was able to accurately analyze the causes, principles, and consequences of emotional changes, but he couldn't really understand and feel those emotions."

"A Superman with no emotions..."

"It cannot become 'Super High School Level Hope'."

Tianyuan Kazuo sighed, "To commemorate the first experimental subject, we borrowed the name of the first dean of Hope's Peak Academy."

——The seat of God is out.

————————————————————————————

Komaeda Nagito was worried about something.It is rare for God to pay attention to this uninvited guest who often visits here.

From the moment you enter the door, the gaze towards you is hard to ignore, straightforward, explicit, and full of inquiry.Hesitant expression and fidgeting behavior.

why?

Judging from previous performances, Komaeda Nagito is not the kind of person whose will is easily shaken.Showing this appearance in front of him is because the content of anxiety is related to me?

His identity?past?Lost memory?

If you think about it casually, there are several possible options that come to mind, and none of them can be treated with an optimistic attitude.Shenzuo Chuliu felt that there was no need for him to wait any longer, and silence would only be a waste of time for the two of them.

So he spoke.

"You know who I am."

As soon as the words fell, the originally deadlocked atmosphere between the two filled with the smell of gunpowder that was about to explode.

Suddenly Komaeda Nagito smiled, as helpless as ever, and scratched the back of his head with his hands, "Ah...I'm really unlucky. I hope I'm so close, but I never noticed it"

After listening to Tengan Kazuo's words, to put it simply - Komaeda Nagito's heart went from one extreme to another.

Before that, his belief was "absolute hope", but now his belief has become a person——

"God outflow".

The already distorted values ​​have undergone earth-shaking changes at this moment.

I love hope, and I love him who represents hope even more.

Since he can't become "Super High School Hope" because of his memory loss, it's up to him to create a brand new hope, a brand new divine seat.

"God's Outflow" will not only be a hope known by everyone, but will become a hope that belongs only to Komaeda Nagito.

Only his hope.

Nagi Komaeda muttered these words in bickering, full of the indescribable feeling brought by the satisfaction of happiness rising to his heart.

Think about it this way...

"No, I'm actually a very lucky person." Komaeda Nagito couldn't help laughing out loud.

Presumably even Tianyuan Kazuo couldn't imagine how crazy Komaeda Nagito's thoughts were.Because he didn't expect how important the "Hope Raising Project" was to Komaeda Nagito.

To use an exaggerated word to describe it, the success of the plan—that is, the birth of hope, has become the driving force for his survival. The breaking of the original hope is equivalent to the coming of despair, so Komaeda Nagito is eager to find another Can replace the existence of "hope".

And now he has found...

The "Hope" that was once abandoned by the Peak of Hope, came out of the throne.

The "hope" picked up again by Nagito Komaeda, So Hinata.

Smiling again, Komaeda Nagito held out his hand.

"Get out of here, Hinata-kun."

The author has something to say: Maybe the next chapter can finish the first part? ?

That's right, the upper part,

Because there is still a lower [.
