【Shinkoma】Love called hope

Even if it is dubbed super high school level luck and hope.

But sure enough, I am still so unlucky today.

Naegi felt sick to his stomach when he thought that today was another day when he came to the headquarters for a meeting.Wukiri next to him couldn't help feeling distressed when he saw it, and couldn't bear to say: "Mr. Miaomu, why don't you sign this right now?" She held up a life insurance agreement.

Seedling: "...please allow me to refuse."

Things have to start a long time ago, in fact, it seems to be the past few years, but time flies so fast——

Xi sauce is so big.

Today's god seat still came back very late, because there is a group of people who are blatantly making troubles in the name of "rejuvenation and despair". It is not difficult to guess that the leader of those people wants to become the second shield of Enoshima to satisfy the sense of presence psychology.Although this matter is not difficult, Shenzuo came back a little late in recent days.

Nagito should be asleep, right?Although I told him not to wait for me to come back for dinner these days, I don't know if he listened...

"Ah, Papa is back." Komaeda looked at the entrance, lowered his head and held Xi's waving little hand, carried him up and walked to the door to meet the god seat: "Welcome back, Chuliu."

"Well, I'm back." Shen Zuo stepped forward and kissed him gently, covering Xi's eyes by the way.

Nozomi opened his arms in Komaeda's arms: "papa..."

Shen Zuo took him over. Although Xi is now three years old, Shen Zuo still feels at a loss when holding him. After all, the child is too soft and small, and it feels easy to get hurt.

"Hmm..." Maybe it was too sleepy, Xiaoxi fell asleep soon, with her furry head rubbing against the neck of God Zuo, snoring a little.This child is really exactly the same as Nagito, just like a small Nagito.Every time Kamito sees Komaeda hugging little Xi, when Komaeda feeds Xi and wipes her mouth, and when she takes a nap, the two embrace and sleep together.

All made God feel a kind of happiness, that kind of happiness sprouted from the heart, broke through the soil and emerged.

"Come on, leave it to me." Komaeda reached out to take Xi, hugged him and coaxed him back to the room.

After covering him well with the quilt, Komaeda also kissed Xi's small forehead lightly: "Good night."

"Have you worked hard recently, are you tired?" Komaeda took out a bento from the refrigerator to heat up, and asked Kamizu who was sitting at the dining table.

Kamito thinks that the current life is the so-called happiness of human beings. Even if he arrives home so late, he will see Komaeda who insists on waiting for him, feeling helpless and distressed.

Komaeda over there said happily: "By the way, Xi-chan's eyes turned red again today, well... it seems that it only happens when he is serious, right? But this is the most like an outcast of him. It’s a bit too late, haha, Xi-chan, who is working hard and serious even though she’s just putting together a puzzle today, is cute.”

Nozomi has been very similar to Komaeda since birth, which makes Kamito very pleased, because his ideal is like this-the picture of little Komaeda being held in Nagito's arms must be very beautiful.

But under the influence of heredity, everyone found that Xi's eyes would gradually turn red when she was thinking about something seriously, just like the seat of God.Komaeda thought he might be using some kind of skill?Super toddler-level puzzle ability?Well, maybe there are.

"Will Naegi-kun come to the headquarters to attend the meeting again tomorrow? Nozomi has been looking forward to it since this morning." Komaeda put the hot bento in front of the god seat, and said helplessly: "Today, I'll just make do with it. Just a moment, sorry for the leak." He clasped his hands together and opened his eyes wide.

God seat: "...it doesn't matter."

"Outflow, why are you unhappy?"

Komaeda tilted his head to look at him, although it wasn't very obvious, Kazuru frowned slightly.

"Pfft——" Komaeda, who probably guessed the reason, couldn't help laughing. Although he covered his mouth in time, he still leaked a little.Seeing Kamizuru's face, Komaeda knew that it was going to be a difficult night, so he kicked off his slippers and stepped on a chair to hug his knees.Sure enough, Kamito sighed and came over to hug him on his lap, and pinched Komaeda's side waist with his hands.

Komaeda couldn't help laughing, his side was ticklish.But he hasn't forgotten that he is going to lose his temper now, because God is so unfriendly to Hope or something.

However, Komaeda was also worried about how to make the outflow not target Sapling-kun.

It's about Xi-chan after all.

Things started more than two years ago.

At that time, Xi-chan was not yet a full year old, she was very cute, and often looked around curiously. At that time, Xi-chan was taken to the future agency by the gods when she was working, and she usually stayed in the office with herself. Xi placed it on the long table in the conference room.

While listening to the work report from below, Shen Zuo did not forget to stare at where Xi had climbed. If he climbed too far, Shen Zuo would take out shortbread from the bag next to him, and then all the participants would stare at Xi. His every move - such a small child is still very rare in the future agency where most of the older singles are, not to mention that this child is exactly the same as Komaeda, when people see him, they can't help but think of that super high school class. Fortunately, a chill came from behind.

Sure enough, Xi was completely attracted by the shortbread, and crawled towards the seat of God with bright eyes.

It can be said that this kind of routine has been tried and tested repeatedly, but——

That was the first time Sapling saw Xi, although I heard that he had attended many meetings, at the conference table.Seedling actually likes children, probably because they are ignorant and cute, right?So even when Wuqie's eyes reminded him many times, he still couldn't help but focus on Xi.

"Kyoko Kirikiri, as the minister, do you have anything to say about the recent situation of the [-]th branch?" Kamito asked, looking at them sitting in the corner.

Wuqie: "The area under the jurisdiction of the [-]th branch is near the sea. Recently, two bombs hidden in the seabed have been detected in the offshore area. It has been confirmed that they are the products left by the desperate remnant party. Although relevant technical personnel have been dispatched, But sure enough, given the current situation and environment of the seabed, we are currently unable to remove the bomb."

Shen Zuo: "...Is there any fishing?" He took out a small shortbread in his hand, because from the corner of his eye he saw that Xi had already crawled to the other side of the table.

Wuqiri: "No, a little carelessness in the fishing process will cause an explosion, and the [-]th branch cannot be in danger." Xi looked at Wuqiri who was speaking, then turned his gaze to the seedlings, and they just looked at each other.

Other branches: "That is to say, no practical countermeasures have been launched, so you came to the headquarters for help? Isn't the life of your [-]th branch valuable?" Seedling quickly looked away and turned to the member to refute, but At this time, Xi had already crawled towards him with bright eyes.

Seedling: "It's not like that! Ugh..."

As soon as he caught Xi who was rushing towards him, everyone looked at the seedlings, and Xi, who hadn't learned how to speak, said loudly at the seedlings——

"hope!--"

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Wuqie thought for a while, and calculated from the expression she had just faced with the seat of God——

"Mr. Miaomu, can you buy an accident insurance right now, and write the fourteenth branch as the benefit side."

Naegi: "Hey hey!"

Looking at Xihe who was still holding him and not letting go, and the atmosphere around him.

Seedling no longer dared to look at Kazuru's face.Because everyone in the future agency knows that Kazuru has been working hard to teach Xi to speak, but Xi has never spoken, and occasionally she will cry when she feels unhappy. If Komaeda finds out at this time, even if he is out of town, he will immediately Come back to take over Xijiang.

Who would have thought that Xi-chan would say the first complete sentence in her life at this time.

However, it seems reasonable to think about being Komaeda's child.

"Since then, Nozomi has always liked the monthly general meeting, because there will be Naegi-kun at that time, right?" Komaeda saw Kamito put down his chopsticks, took the lunch box and cleaned it: "Tomorrow is another It's over, will Chuliu bring Xi-chan there?"

Kamito didn't answer, but just hugged Komaeda from behind.

"Even if you protest like this, it's okay, Xi-chan is looking forward to it."

God seat: "..."

Komaeda: "Okay, okay, don't be angry. By the way, do you want a bento tomorrow? I can deliver it. What do you want to eat?" Komaeda changed the subject, wiped the water off his hands, and was caught by the seat of God as soon as he turned around. Kiss your lips.

He couldn't help laughing, and responded affectionately while holding the suit of the seat of God.

"Did the two bombs of the Fourteenth Branch appear strange again?"

The seat of God lowered his eyes to see the endless debates below, and the quarrel was often the most fierce at this time, after all, it involved the issue of monthly fund allocation, and the debate of more than a dozen branches at this juncture was equivalent to a fierce debate among heroes.However, in the end, it is often the fourteenth branch that wins overwhelmingly in terms of speech.

"The current monitoring results of the Fourteenth Branch on these two bombs have always shown that everything is normal, except for some small fluctuations recently, but even if it explodes, the safety devices arranged around it will be activated immediately at that moment to ensure that the damage is minimized. .” Seedling immediately explained.

Other departments: "But there is this hidden danger. Does the [-]th branch really have extra energy to deal with other things? Why don't we invest this money in the road reconstruction of our department."

Wuqie: "This reason is completely untenable! The Fourteen Branches..."

It's boring, Shen Zuo thought.Just close your eyes and wait until their quarrel is over.

"Are you ready?" Komaeda packed the side dishes prepared by the maid into a bento box, leaned out of the kitchen and asked Nozomi who was still playing on the carpet in the living room.

Xi stared at the TV - the protagonist in it just gave his lover a large bouquet of roses to show his love, and the lover accepted it with emotion, and then the two walked hand in hand on the beach under the sunset.Xi-chan blinked, ran to the kitchen and asked Komaeda, "Mommy, Mommy..."

Komaeda bent down, "What's wrong?"

Xi: "Hua, Huahua..." Thinking about it, she seemed a little embarrassed, her little hands were tangled in front of her chest, but finally, encouraged by Komaeda's eyes, she asked loudly, "Does Huahua like it?"

Komaeda: "...I like it." After thinking for a while, he picked up Xi-chan, who was looking at him with wide eyes, and said while tidying up toys for him on the sofa, "Actually, Xi-chan hasn't When I was born, there was a person who gave me flowers... But I can't even remember the face of that person, but on second thought, maybe it was your father?"

It was a bunch of white platycodon, Komaeda vaguely remembered that person's voice was very gentle, what did he say, ah, what is it... What?

"Well, I don't want to worry about that anymore. Xi-chan, we're leaving."

Komaeda picked up Nozomi, picked up the bento for three people and prepared to go to the future agency.

As soon as Xi-chan heard that she was going to the Future Agency, she was very excited and sat on the child seat in the back seat of the car and looked out the window excitedly.When Komaeda parked the car and opened the door to hold him down, she couldn't wait to hug Komaeda and rub against him.Komaeda closed the door, locked it, patted Nozomi lightly and took the elevator up.

Sure enough, the meeting is not over yet, it's already this time.

Komaeda opened a gap in the door to peek inside, and sure enough, he was getting impatient sitting on the chief god's seat.This is how to do……

"Hey, Nozomi!" Before Komaeda could stop him, he saw Nozomi running in quickly through the gap——

"Sapling sauce!"

Ignoring the first God seat whose face was half black, Xi ran straight to the seedlings: "Niaomu sauce, seedling sauce, you!" Do you like flowers?Komaeda hugged him, covered his mouth, and left the meeting room before he could ask the words behind.

God seat: "Adjourn!"

Seedling wiped off his cold sweat—Kamizuru-kun's expression just now was terrifying.

However, the current god is very happy. If there is a benchmark for happiness, it is probably to sit and eat with his lover and children.And Xiaoxi would pick up Mr. Octopus with a fork from time to time and feed it to God: "Papa, this...delicious!"

"Ah."

"And this."

"Ah."

He looked at Xi sitting on his lap with gentle eyes, and he didn't mind occasionally spilling sauce on the table, because Xi's cautious cuteness really made people look sideways.

In the past, little Xi would cry every time Kamizuo went out, but later Komaeda comforted him and said, "Papa went out to save the world." After that, Xi seldom cried, but felt that Papa, who went out to save the world, was very handsome It is also very hard so I always try my best to take care of Papa.

Although this may not be regarded as caring in the eyes of the gods, it is enough to make the gods feel extremely gratified.

After eating, Komaeda took Xi and left. Although Xi was very reluctant, she still obediently kissed Kamiza and said goodbye to him.

"Don't cry, you can see it at night." Komaeda hugged him and comforted him, thinking that it was better to find time to help Sapling-kun deal with the bomb matter.

Xi-chan rubbed her red eyes: "Yeah."

the next day.

"Ma Ma, I, can I have some pocket money? Yes, I can exchange it for cleaning for you!"

Komaeda was stunned for a moment, then squatted down and asked him softly: "Well, it's fine, but what does Xi-chan want pocket money for?"

Xi-chan blushed slightly: "Secret, this is a secret!" Then she turned and ran away, and turned to face Komaeda again at the corner: "I'll tell Mama after I have saved enough money."

Komaeda blinked in a daze, then sat down and pondered—should I give him a little more money so that he can figure out the purpose sooner?I didn't expect my luck to be unable to guess Xi-chan's purpose, what a misfortune it is...

In the next month, Xi-chan really helped Komaeda well, Kazuru saw it in his eyes, although he was puzzled, but also found that Xi-chan's purpose could not be guessed.Is it because Xi is still too young?So incomplete data lead to impediments to extrapolation?Kamito doesn't quite understand this point, but according to Komaeda——

"Maybe I want to give some gift to Kazuru-kun?" Komaeda said while lying in Kazuru's arms before going to bed. He gave an example: "For example, Xi-chan will stay at the entrance of the flower shop for a while in the past few days."

Um--

God Zuo had some small expectations in his heart, it was the first time he received a gift.

"Hey, this is today's pocket money, and there are rewards."

"Well, five hundred yen... um... that's enough! Thank you, Mama!" After a month of help, Xi-chan finally collected enough money.In fact, this is also part of Komaeda's selfishness, after all, this is the first time Chuli has received a gift, and he wants to show him a little bit of limelight in front of more people.

So I deliberately made the last sum of money on today, the day of the general meeting.

Sure enough, Nozomi quickly released her piggy bank from the room, and took Komaeda to the flower shop together.As soon as he entered, Menxi pointed at the position of the rose and gave the piggy bank to the proprietress and said, "I want a bouquet of roses."

Komaeda quietly thought to the side - Deliu, do you like roses?

Next, I took Xi to the future agency, and the outflow should be in a meeting at this time, right?Komaeda walked to the door of the meeting room with Xi in his arms, and opened the door, and all the eyes inside the door were immediately focused.

Well, the effect has been achieved.

Komaeda put Xi down and encouraged him, "Go."

At this moment, Kamito also stood up, and——

Xi crossed the throne and ran to the seedlings: "Huahua, I'll give it to you!"

Everyone: "!!!!!!"

Seedling—sweating profusely squatted down and took the flower, and the next second after taking it, Xi-chan threw herself into her arms: "Hope~ Seedling-chan!"

Komaeda, who was standing at the door, thought that it was too late for him to run, ah Chuliu's expression was so sad, as if he had never seen him so lost before.Komaeda was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

And Kirikiri, who was standing next to the seedlings, saw through everything——

"Mr. Miaomu, according to my reasoning, there is a [-]% chance that you will be held in the fish tank in his office by the god seat."

Seedling: "Kirikiri-san..." His voice seemed to be about to cry.

"But Anxin Miaomu-kun, there is still a [-]% chance that you will be drowned in it directly. In other words, there is still a glimmer of hope that you will not be drowned." This is the time when you need your super high school level hope. .

Seedlings——

Sure enough, I am still in misfortune now.
