#Benjiro Abiko

[despair-to-future-arcs]

Oh yeah, we're going to need Ben's help with the case of the Warriors of Hope, bc the main medium were using has issues with one of them, and we don't want her to get even more stressed than she already is.

What...? Future Foundation?

Yeah, seems like Future Foundation is doing some investigation on Hope's Peak Academy along with the Warriors of Hope as well.

From what I know so far, it seems they are investigating the place.

So why not give them a hand, I mean you guys probably could offer some help, right?

You mean you want him to help Future Foundation? I mean, Nao - I get the gesture but that seems like something only for Future Foundation and even then it be like some minor assistance, not sure if he can.

I mean...I wouldn't mind to help, after all I did help with a case prior and it did lead to a whole Division being created, so I can see what I can do.

But I'll need to speak with my colleague, Kanao about this; if what your saying about us helping Future Foundation, I don't think I can do this alone, I hope you understand.

Awesome man, will hopefully she agrees to it then, thanks for the help!

Well first I need to speak with my colleague about this and I'm very tired right now so I'll call them when I'm awaken...

Now excuse me but I must go off to bed, I'm very tired...goodnight...

*Benjiro walks away but then he bumps into a wall* Oh... that was the wall...

I must be very out of it... *walks away, tired from today...*

Well I suppose given he mention that he tends to not get a lot of asleep, yeah no wonder... hopefully he's got some good music on, maybe I can recommend some Splitz or some of my older songs I remember listening, might help him.

Anyways, I better hit the hay too - see ya Nao-Nao.

See ya then... *Naoyuki goes to the elevator and gets int as it goes up*

Chapter 3: The Will to Survive | Daily Life part 3

 The next morning I had woken up as I usually did which then, I did my usual routine and made my way out however as then I notice…

 No one was near Kimura-san’s door, which then I walk downstairs and down in the living room I notice Abiko-san, Masa-san and…

 Kimura-san? She was out of her room?

 I walk downstairs and the trio notice me. “Oh, Fuji-chan! Good morning…” Kimura-san spoke to me which I blinked. “Um, Kimura-san… good morning? Wait, you left your room – what’s going on?” I asked which Kimura-san close her eyes. “I… thought over quite a bit and honestly, I can’t stay in my room which after speaking with Ben-kun, I… need to see what my mother felt about me so I want to hear it from her otherwise I can’t live onward for her.” She explained.

 I… could see why she would want to do that but then I turn to the other 2. “She ask me if I can do this for her but sadly if I want to do this I would need some help with writing so I ask Masa-san to help with this…” He stated as I turn my attention to Kimura-san again. “I’m rather surprise your working with Masa-san after what happen…” I informed her which Masa-san tipped her hat down a bit as not looking too proud of herself.

 “Actually funny thing she approach me about it and thanked me for saving her life but still…” She commented which Kimura-san shook her head and smile. “No, you killing Ohta was the wisest choice and even then she would of killed me for no reason so… I do owe you my life, Masa-chan.” She told me but then turn to me.

 It seems the girl was determined. “So to see if my mother truly hated me or not, will start at noon, correct Ben-kun?” She asked which the Ghost Whisperer nodded. “Indeed, it’ll take a while to prepare and I do need assistance so let’s get started…” He told the three which the 2 girls look to each other with a nod then left.

 Seems they got quite a bit plan…

 As then I made my way to the dining room which I notice Norman-san, Miwa-san, Kita-san, Hayashi-san and Hana-san look to be talking. “Morning guys… I guess you got here early, huh?” I asked which Norman-san turn to me. “Actually Fuji, we’re preparing to capture Hamoponi’s creator.” He told me which I nodded. “I see so the trap is set?” I asked which Kita-san nodded.

 “Indeed – we got everything prepare just so we capture that person…” He stated which Hayashi-san continue. “Plus counting that they would come at night, I think it be best to wait at evening to capture this person.” She informed us which the Figure Skater cross her arms. “I think it be wise if we figure out what they got plan for us and see if they are on our side so we prepare to question them…” She stated which Hana-san look to me with a smile.

 Clearly it seems she wanted to capture this person and was curious if I wanted to come along. “Actually, Fuji-san I was curious if you want to help us capture them, we can figure out what this guy or girl plans to do and see if their intentions are good.” She spoke which as I was about to speak however it seems Kita-san shook his head.

 “No, five people should be enough otherwise it would make the creator of Hamoponi’s aware of our plan – so apologies but we can only bring five.” He stated which Hana-san frown which she nodded. “I see, well sorry Fuji-san but seems like I’ll be busy around evening.” She told me, seeming disappointed which as then those five have left.

 As then Katou-san, Kobayashi-san, Inoue-chan and Rai-kun walk into the dining room which Kobayashi-san look at the direction at where the group is going. “Seems we got quite a bit plan, huh?” He asked which I sighed. “It seems also Kimura-san, Abiko-san and Masa-san are going to be doing something this evening…” I commented which Katou-san had a confused look. “Really? They got something plan too?” He asked which I gave a nod which Inoue-chan had a confused look.

 “I think I’m more surprise that Tomoe-chan is willing to work with Esumi, counting she killed someone right in front of her…” She stated which Rai-kun place his hands on his hips. “Well maybe she realizes that she would of gotten killed so she might view Masa-san as a hero if anything.” He commented which Kobayashi-san nodded. “Well then, I guess if Masa-san is totally forgiven then I guess I can’t hold much against her, but anyway… Are you guys busy?” He asked as changing the subject.

 It seem instant as the five of us look to him surprise which I shook my head. “Not really, why do you ask?” I asked which Kobayashi-san put his hand in his pocket. “Well maybe around evening can you guys come with me to the Chruch? I found something…” He spoke which Inoue-chan tilted her head to the side. “Oh, what is it? You found an exit or something?” She asked Katou-san seems excited.

 “Oh oh whatever it is, I hope maybe it can help the group!” He stated which Kobayashi-san sadly pulled his hat down. “Um, well… not really but I think I’ll need Rai-san and Fuji-san’s help a bit.” He stated which I blinked. “Huh? You need my help?” I asked which Kobayashi-san sighed annoyed. “Yes I do, plus I’m sure you’ve done public speeches before and likely have done them in other languages so maybe you can help…” He spoked annoyed which I cross my arms. “Well I do know quite a few languages so sure thing.” I agreed which he smiled. “Okay cool, and you Rai-san?” He asked.

 Which the electrical engineer crosses his arms as tilting his head to the side as he was thinking. “I guess if you need the man born from thunders then I’ll accept your offer of help!” He spoke which Kobayashi-san gave a thumbs up. “Thanks! I really do need some help, so come to the Church around evening…” He told them as he sat down. “Now that you guys will help me, let’s get breakfast~!” He stated with a huge smile on his face.

 Rare to see him this happy I suppose as then I sat down as then we began breakfast like we usually do which was made by Katou-san…

 --

 Free Time Event!

 As then I return back to my room, I look to the clock and realize… I had some time before evening so I guess I should spend time with someone…

 As then I began to wander around a bit which then I saw Kobayashi-san who look to be in the living room with Inoue-chan which he spoke. “I know we got time but we should prepare if Hamoponi’s creator does come in so I think having Doi-san with us could help…” He spoke.

 I guess Kobayashi-san seems to be planning something for evening… should I help come up with plans?

 >Hang out

 - Maybe another time

 As then Kobayashi-san look to me as getting his attention. “Oh, want to help plan something? Well I guess maybe you can come up with something…” He spoke with a slight smile. Which as then me and Kobayashi-san spoke for a quite a bit regarding the plan…

 I feel that Kobayashi-san and myself grew closer together, which then I reach into my pocket and pull out what look to be a handy swiss-army that can do anything. “Whoa, your giving this me? Cool, I think this will be very useful!” He thanked me as he took it.

 As then I had grown curious about Kobayashi-san’s homelife some more. “So then, you mention that you’ve done work before and even the lottery – you must be good at handling yen, huh?” I asked which Kobayashi-san tilted his head to the side. “I mean, I suppose I would have to be; we usually earn money for what we need then what we want but I do sometimes like to spend it on myself…” He spoke sheepishly.

 Something tells me that the guy hates to admit it. “Well, I think it’s okay to be selfish sometimes and buy for yourself.” I told him which he frowns. “Well yeah, I get that being selfish is okay at times but the money I earn tends to go to my dad…” He stated which I was a bit surprise. “Your dad?” I asked surprise by this which then he look to the ground.

 “Well yeah, my dad… seeing as I started work at a pretty young age, most of my money goes to my dad and since I don’t have a bank account and besides… I think it’s for the best.” He told me which I was confused by that statement. “Oh, what makes you say that?” I asked as then he groan.

 Clearly he seems to be embarrassed. “Well there was a time when I got money, it was my first job as well which I figure I try and hide it somewhere but funny what you know, robbers came in and stole it and well… let’s say I was pretty upset about it.” He admitted as his face went red.

 “Wait, you got robbed?!” I asked surprise by this which he shook his head. “Yeah I did, the street my family was on had been known for robberies and how unlucky my house got money taken which I think my dad say that it was okay but he did mention that maybe he should take the money which I agreed, and from there on the money I earn went to my dad… Like I say, he doesn’t blame me for since it was my first job but even then, I really want to owe up for that so I fix up the lock…” He spoke, clearly embarrassed by this which I was surprise.

 I guess for a guy like Kobayashi-san, he seems to have quite some bad luck on things which then he sighed. “Well, even then after that a week later I discover a bill that had the same amount of money like my first job when taking out the trash…” He commented as recalling it.

 Or maybe his luck is just weird…

 Kobayashi Eito, Ultimate ??? FTE – 2/5

 --

 After a bit more talking, I had return to my room…

 I had then look at my clock once more and seems I got more time it seems, which as then I began to wander around the ski resort once more and notice that Hana-san was near where the monitor room is along with Norman-san, Mori-san, Hayashi-san and Kita-san which they look to be preparing as she was thinking.

 “I wonder what questions we should ask Hamoponi’s creator…?” She asked herself this question as she was thinking over.

 Should I go and spend time with Hana-san and help her come up with questions…?

 >Hang out

 - Maybe another time

 Which then the blue hair surfer seems pretty happy to see me. “Oh hey Fuji-san, you want to help me with questions? I mean you must be good at that stuff.” She asked as then me and Hana-san started to come up with questions…

 It seems me and Hana-san grew closer it seems.

 As then I reach into my pocket and pulled out a bottle of water which I hand it to Hana-san. “Oh, for me? Wow, thanks a lot!” She thanked me as she took the item as then the blue hair surfer crosses her arms.

 “I’m still surprise that you don’t seem too bother being at a place that’s cold despite you coming from hot climates…” I stated which she blinked. “Well I mean snow is like water so I don’t really think much on it plus I think unlike with water, it seems more harder honestly and less likely where I’ll end up stranded…” She commented which I was left confused.

 As then she continues. “Huh? Your curious? Well a while back I got out far to sea once and ended up on a near by island and well… ended up staying on there for a week before help came along.” She commented which I went pale. “Oh god, you ended up on a stranded island for a week?!” I asked as shock by this information – the fact that Hana-san got stranded on a deserted island once.

 She place her arms at the back of her head. “I mean, it wasn’t that bad! I mean I recall learning to survive off the wild thanks to my Mom, got to get food and even pick up ways to get other food along with avoiding stuff to eat; I mean my dad was worried for me while my mom knew I would be okay…” She spoke as being relax as ever.

 I was relieved but she was way too lax being in that situation which she continues. “Well yet again it did stop them from arguing but yet again I did go surfing that far due to the arguing…” She stated which I was concern.

 “Your parents argue?” I asked as she nodded. “Well yeah, it doesn’t happen but usually it’s about money, moving or if I should attend a better school but yet again… I just hate getting myself involve in arguments, y’know.” She admitted as I frowns for a bit.

 Despite the chill out nature of Hana-san, she hates arguing and tries to avoid conflict related to her which she sighed. “I think you shouldn’t avoid those things. It seems related to your future if you ask me…” I told her which she frowns for the first time. “Well maybe I don’t like thinking about my future? I’m more towards the present then anything… thinking about a future that’s uncertain, I… can’t imagine myself making that choice, y’know?” She spoke as she went quiet.

 But even then… you still have to decide what your future will be, you can’t avoid it like that Hana-san…

 --

 After speaking a bit more with Hana-san, I return back to my room…

 As I walk in and look at the clock, seems it was time to meet with Kobayashi-san which as then I took my leave and head to the Church as promise.

 As I walk on inside, I saw the others had arrive which Kobayashi-san notice. “Well seems you all are here.” He stated as his arms are crossed. “So you discover something in the Church?” Katou-san asked which the blue hair boy nodded.

 “Yep, I mean I just came across it last night and well I figure I show you.” He spoke as he headed over to a bookshelf that I notice was in the room which as he pulled out a book suddenly the shelf moved and reveal a passcode. “Whoa, a secret passage!” Inoue-chan rush over as curious of the pad.

 Something tells me she wants to press all the numbers and say ‘What does this button do!’ or something like that…

 As then myself, Rai-kun and Katou-san walk over to see the numbers. “So did you figure out what the password is?” Rai-kun had as checking over the pad which Kobayashi-san nodded. “Yeah, I try multiple passwords and the password that I fount was a strange one…” He spoke as then he type in the password as it then open a secret door.

 “Honestly I really have no clue how I type it in, I kept typing in passwords then I got one which was 041001 which… is an odd password.” He spoke as he shrugged which Katou-san seem surprise. “Wow, you must be up all night to get lucky, huh Eito-kun~?” The Mascot question as making a joke which he laughs with a shrug.

 Clearly this was some strange luck but best to not question it as then he walk in which we gesture us to follow after him. As then we follow him down the stairs which we found ourselves in an enclose room of sorts which had a filing cabinet with files, a table with a radio that is use in the military I think… I might need to ask Kita-san about that later and on the ground it was the one thing that Kobayashi-san was kneeling down as picking up what look to be a gun that was broken it seems.

 “Huh? Why is there a gun here…?” I asked which as Kobayashi-san shook his head. “No, it isn’t a gun…look.” He say as showing what look to have a label of sorts. “Memory removal?” Inoue-chan asked as she tilted her head to the side as then the blue hair boy flip it over and it show. “It seems it can also return memories but seems like we can’t shoot it…” He commented which then Rai-kun spoke.

 It seem that this device got him excited. “Then I can work on this device and maybe find a way to get our memories back!” He spoke up which as then he grabbed the gun but then look at the Radio. “I could also work on that as well…” He stated which Katou-san smiled. “Then we can carry it back but we should tell the others about this, right?” He pointed out which Kobayashi-san nodded. “Yep, but even then… why was the gun broken?” I asked everyone.

 Which it seem to never cross there mind as Kobayashi-san nodded. “I mean the gun was broken when I got here so if I had to guess… likely Hamoponi’s creator might have broke it or maybe they have there memories wiped too.” He stated which Inoue-chan frown. “So one us is Hamoponi’s creator and have no idea we are, that’s… pretty sad honestly, maybe they could of explain the situation then.” She spoke as Rai-kun nodded.

 I figure I go and look around this room some more which I made my way over to the filing cabinet as just I was about to open I notice… there was a photo which I took it down which it was our class.

 So it seems we were all classmates, just… seeing 4 of them not with us made me sad as then I place the photo back up on the top as then I continue looking into the filing cabinet which had files which I came across a few things…

 First I saw what look to be a file about taxes that were pay, various blueprints and even a map that show the whole resort…

 However one thing that got my attention was a profile; it had no picture but it had a name…

 ‘Haiiro, the Ultimate Thief’

 Which then others surrounded me. “Huh? So this must be that Ultimate Thief that Masa-san was talking about.” Kobayashi-san ponder which I nodded as then I read it aloud.

 “A well known thief that there identity is unknown among Hope’s Peak, we have try to search for them but can’t find much luck but what we do know is that they tend to leave a symbol and often times tend to find a way to escape the cops… not much is known about this thief but they are a Hope’s Peak taking on another identity and which no one has figure out…” I spoke which as then I pulled up a newspaper clipping.

 “Haiiro strikes again at Towa Robotics!

 Haiiro the mysterious thief had stolen from the Towa Family – It didn’t seem they stole any money or goods but instead blueprints which they left there symbol once more! One questions why such a mysterious person would want with blue prints… no one may know honestly.”

 It seems it was once again written by Esumi papers but this looks pretty recent, so seems like we gotta show this to Masa-san…

 “So then… seems that this Haiiro person is the name of the Ultimate Thief but I guess they must be like Robin hood since all they took were blue prints.” Inoue-chan pointed out which was true, I wonder why they took the blueprints which as I got up to leave it seems Kobayashi-san notice something.

 He tap my shoulder as I look to him as giving him complete attention. “Hey, seems the blueprints are at the bottom…” He stated as he kneel down as picking up to see what it is but then his face went pale which we all look as I step back.

 The Blueprints… were Monokuma’s blueprints. So… is Monokuma and Hamoponi were made with the same blueprint does that mean they were made by the same person which Katou-san panic quickly. “Oh gosh oh gosh! So that Hamoponi has the same blueprints as Monokuma, we gotta tell the others!” He spoke as he rush out of the room. “Whoa wait for me!” Inoue-chan chases after him as did Rai-kun which I look to Kobayashi-san with a concern look.

 “So if Hamoponi has the same blueprints as Monokuma then… is he our enemy?” I asked which the blue hair boy shook his head. “Likely not but if anything, maybe whoever Hamoponi’s creator is likely stole the blueprints but we should tell the others…” He stated as taking the blue prints and rush over as I follow after them and took the newspaper clipping along with other files.

 As I rush outside suddenly I notices Katou-san was running right to the monitor room. “Guys, Guys! We found something we-!” “NOW!” a shout came as then Katou-san had a trap sprung on him.

 “EEEEEEK!!!” He yelped as he was trap in rope as the others rush out from hiding as rush over. “Alright we got them!” Hana-san yelled as she rushes out of hiding

 Hayashi-san and Kita-san set the trap as Miwa-san and Norman-san rush over. “Alright then, now answer question… Doi-kun?” The figure skater seem confused by this as was Katou-san which then Norman-san kneel down as preparing his whip. “You better answer our questions or will get physical with you…” He spoke as then Katou-san started to panic.

 “No, please please don’t hit me! I’ll obey you master! I’m just a simple bear that wants honey and even live a peaceful life!” He admitted which then Norman-san whipped him. “Nice try~!” He stated as Katou-san yelped from the whipped.

 Myself, Rai-kun, Kobayashi-san and Inoue-chan were watching the interrogation. “Should we… try to stop this?” I asked which with one firm nod we walk over as trying to calm down the situation.

 After we got Katou-san out of the trap and Norman-san calmed down. “I see… so you five discover something?” Hayashi-san asked which Kobayashi-san nodded. “Yep – just discover it yesterday and we-.” As he was about to spoke suddenly Kimura-san rush over in a panic.

 “Gu-Guys, something happen! Ben-kun, he fell off the cliff!” “WHAT?!” Everyone yelled as Kimura-san as she was panicking. “Ju-Just come with me, it’s bad!” She stated as she rush off again.

 We all look to each other as then we ran after Kimura-san which when we made our way to where the cliff was I saw on person at the enterance of the cliff…

 “Masa-san? Why are you standing there what happen?!” I asked as everyone rush over to the direction Kimura-san was leading them however it seems Masa-san was… quiet, but I notice that her eyes were green eyes instead of red and she look to be wearing one of Abiko-san’s charms which she spoke calming. “I guess this must of happen… well then, I guess for now we better see how… Benjiro-san’s body is.” She stated as she follows after them.

 It was odd but I decided to not question as then I rush after the others which when I got into the cabin as I rush in I… stop in my track which I saw was a pretty horrifying sight…

 It seems Abiko-san had fall into he cabins, cover in blisters and pine needles but one thing I notice… his arm was cut off.

 Chapter 3: The Will to Survive| DEADLY LIFE

[despair-to-future-arcs]

Everyone hates politicians… no offense Chikao.

Well... I wouldn't say that all are, just my fair share of them has lead me to having a headache...

[despair-to-future-arcs]

The dead only want one thing to do, just their unfinished business dealt with and then they move on.

Indeed and it's especially the case for the tragedy, given so many have died and suffer that sometimes their spirits will linger and wait for those with a 6th sense to help ease their pain then move on.

But sometimes it can be quite tiresome; I think my lease favorites are those that don't want to admit they are wrong or politicians... they are truly tiresome.

[despair-to-future-arcs]

Oh hey! If it isn't the ghost talker himself, we've heard a lot about you dude!

Ah, messages - I seem to have receive some; salutation - I'm Benjiro Abiko, a spirit median that can hear the dead.

Oh so you can like talk to the dead and do all that occult stuff, cool!

Yes...I suppose I can but I do get tired from hearing the dead even in my sleep, especially during the tragedy given many people have died.

Hearing the screams of them dying doesn't help with a sleep schedule, if anything it gives me a headache.

Ah right, you did mention that when sleeping you can hear voices too; yeah that probably makes your tired, sorry about that.

It's fine, often I do have some headphones that listen to calming music to help with my sleep schedule so that helps a bit but yes, I do work with ghost and spirits, I'm rather surprise how my abilities with solving cases.

Hmm... interesting... (Maybe this guy can help Maki and the others with their investigation...)

[despair-to-future-arcs]

We just wanted to know if you were a relative of his because you look pretty similar to him

I see, well people tend to say I do remind them of someone so I tend to get that a fair bit...

[despair-to-future-arcs]

Are you perhaps related to Kinji Uehara?

Kinji Uehara...? Sorry, I don't really use the internet all that much, I mostly help explore haunted houses and help spirits move on and even then - my mother and father didn't really have extended family so I don't have any cousins.

[despair-to-future-arcs]

You're asexual?

No, I do have my interest in the opposite gender, just that boobs aren't that important to me...

Well hey, some guys aren't really too interested in bodies so that's good.

[despair-to-future-arcs]

Who here likes big boobs?

Boob...? I'm not interested in that...

[despair-to-future-arcs]

There's any more things you want to talk about?

Well, anyway I better going to bed then; I think I'll be heading back tomorrow as well.

Ah right, I suppose you'll head off; see ya then!

Yeah dude, see you later!

*As then Naoyuki walk away as he starts to head off to his hotel room which as he heads for the elevator*

Damn, I was surprise you were able to contact the spirits, I mean I was a bit skeptical about you saying you can 'hear the dead' but you were able to make a spirit come forward is really cool!

I suppose the ability of helping spirits move on has been something I've done since I was a child after my mother killed my father and heard his wails...

It did lead to the police getting involved and my mother was arrested which she hated me...

But I suppose helping others with the grieving process is nice.

Yeah and it does help those that lost their love ones so it's a pretty cool ability and hey, it does help make my job easier!

Oh hey Nao-Nao, good see ya - I suppose the farm mission went well? I was just talking to Ben here about his ghost speaking abilities!

Oh yeah, I was hearing about that; so you must be him, yeah? I'm Naoyuki Harukawa.

Benjiro Abiko, charmed I'm sure...

Miss. Chieburkuro and myself were working on a case together recently, she was skeptical about my abilities with the dead but once she saw for herself; she was quite impress...

Ye-Yeah but uh, you don't need to use 'Miss' with me, just Setsuka, Setsu or Big Sis is fine; I remember my friends and ex-girlfriend use to call me that when we were dating...well, my ex didn't like getting sibling zoned when I ask her to be my sibling.

But yeah, Ben here has been pretty helpful with communicating with spirits so if you want a spirit medium, he's your guy!

[despair-to-future-arcs]

Anything about NWP?

Now that we got that settle down, I suppose I'll start the meeting.

Now that we realize these issues and problems; the music, the food, the broadcast and radio waves - it seems that we fail to consider those that are effected.

Indeed, given what we just learn and seen; I think it's easy to say those that were wearing those helmets might be drugged and could suffer a drug withdrawal.

And for that, we have a solution which Future Foundation has allow us to present this project they have been working on!

A project that Future Foundation created, well now I'm curious. What's it call?

Well first let me show you the data...

*Yoruko takes out a pad and presses a button*

Everyone at the meeting, may I present you with the Neo World Program; a device that Future Foundation is creating that is going to be release publicly and help those that had suffer from the tragedy.

I had my doubts at first but hearing how it works and seeing the results, it seems to have the ability to replace memories of the tragedy with those in the simulation and if asking, yes they are still working on it but they are testing it for bugs.

Yep and it was say that by the start of January or December, will have this project up and running!

???: So this project could help others return back to normal, is it being tested on?

Yes it is, in fact they tested it for 50 days and the subjects had return to normal.

However there were some bugs and glitches in the simulation but they are ironing it out.

I suppose it would make sense, wouldn't it? After all bringing it out now while it's still buggy could lead to issues...

Indeed and it could help many others that suffer from the tragedy as well, so we should work with this and-.

Are you kidding me, this is what your suggesting? Some device that we have no idea about or if it even worse, are you really that stupid?

*Everyone turns towards Kanade and mutters*

...

Kanade... don't interrupt...

Why not? After all given you rejected my idea, and even then the idea you came up with isn't any better, isn't that also brainwashing?

I'm not saying that, all I'm saying is that your idea is very unethical and we aren't even sure it would work, Future Foundation is working on this which they are testing it right now to help the population recover, that's all.

Or maybe your only agreeing because your just being a lazy ass, not doing your job and just want to find an alternative issue then my idea.

Yet here you are, wanting to rely on the damn foundation that only judges people for their talent, places them in a box which you were stuck as a shitty intern because you were working at a job while you were a minor - maybe instead of relying on those entitled pricks, you do your damn job since all you do is talk to a bunch of weak-willed people that can't deal with the hardships of the tragedy, pathetic.

N-No no, of course! All I was suggesting this solution; that's it!

Or you just admitting that your lazy and want to rely on some dumb machine that we don't know if it doesn't work or not.

Yeah your totally lazy, Dr. Kabuya - a failure of a guidance councilor!

Oh boy... here we go again...

[despair-to-future-arcs]

DTFA Lore Bit: Next Generation Of Hope

As both Future Foundation and the Kisaragi Foundation were formed at the start of the tragedy, the next generation of Hope was due to the ideals of Future Foundation causing conflict with some of its members due to one person that wanted to join but never got to because of her status.

Fuji Okamoto, a public speaker that was going to help with PR along with Takuya Akitani, Class 70’s Ultimate Linguist has suddenly died while Satoko Kamiki, Class 56’s Ultimate Mathematician was chosen instead of which Fuji was rejected.

This cause some former Ultimates to leave Future Foundation due to Fuji’s treatment and thus the creation of the Next Generation of Hope was born by Shinji Kasai Class 49’s Ultimate Firefighter, while unofficial and not as organize as the other 2 Foundations - the Next Generation of Hope is much more open to anyone joining and very chill with who joins but it has a bit of a screening issue of who can join.

Regardless if you were a part of Hope’s Peak Academy or not, if you are spreading hope during the tragedy and helping people then you’ll be considered a likely member but as say there are some requirements to join like you have to be above the age of 18 to join for one such example.

How you get an invitation to join is either by mail, email or personally invited which does tend to vary depending on how you join the organization, you can accept or reject the invitation if you wish.

While you don’t need to wear a uniform of any sort, you are given an ID Card that shows you are a member which you can put into your wallet if you want to.

The Next Generation of Hope doesn’t even have an offical headquarters and has used an old firehouse that isn’t very secure but does have a scanner for years. There has been some reconsideration to make one…

Usually meetings tend to happen at the end of the month for 3 days, it’s to introduce new members, update the memory back-up disc as requested by Yuri Kagarin and update on any activities your doing - meetings could go longer if something very urgent has happened such as the Pig Boy situation for one such example.

Due to there not being any Living Quarters, the members often stay at a hotel that is close by and will stay there for a few days.

There are many members that joined the organization but coming to the meeting isn’t mandatory, but it is recommended that you come to get your memories scanned if you can.

While not completely unorganised people are set into certain groups based on the occupation you are doing.

Members also need to require regular medical check-ups which ranges from blood tests, vaccinations, physicals, disease tests, radiation screenings and MRIs - to name a few.

All members are required to be organ donors if in case something happens and someone needs an organ.

Due to the killing school life and how Class 78 had their memories removed, all members of the Next Generation of Hope have a sub-dermal tracking device on their person and is very hard to remove meaning that if they were kidnapped they can be tracked down.

Oh don't worry guys, since we Anons ran into Benjiro Abiko at some point today, we were able to let him know you were gonna seek his help and he's gonna consult someone, but if that person gives the all clear he will be willing to help you out with the Utsugis and Shingetsus.

Ye-Yeah, speaking about the Warriors of Hope, I can't exactly help much with Kotoko Utsugi... personal reasons and all...

I was hoping you can help with her or get someone else?

Very well, if it's to help make a case regarding the Warriors of Hope; will allow it.

Oh uh, thank you Mr. Munakata! This will help a lot, wow for someone that's strict - you sure are reasonable.

Hm, as say while I know you work with help redeeming the Warriors of Hope, I do feel that you seem to be struggle so will be sure to offer help here.

[despair-to-future-arcs]

Oooh more spirit channelers?

Well yeah, I'm sure you all are aware that Mikako Kurokawa is the Ultimate Exorcist, correct? Well as say there are people that communicate with the dead and the members over at the next generation of hope aren't as strong as Mikako but can communicate.

Like Benjiro Abiko started do it at a young age when his parents got into a fight, his father was killed by his mother and he solve the case, it's... which surely be something that could help us.

[despair-to-future-arcs]

Honestly i really don't think it's a good idea for you to come along for Kotoko'a mission Komaru, other than the obvious problems with the girl herself it would mean you'd need to channel in her shit parents, I can't imagine that going any well for you at all

...I...I guess your right, I mean; given we are dealing with the Kotoko and I've been avoiding it... you might be right.

But given I'm the only one channeling spirits, how are we going to contact her parents? I mean, we do need their account too, right?

I'll... think of something, as maybe a member from the Next Generation of Hope could assist us.

I remember there was someone that can hear the dead and solve murders, I think his name was Benjiro Abiko? So maybe you can try asking them.

Oh right, I remember Mayumi mention him before; maybe I can ask them if I get the chance!

Anyway, thank you for that; I'll go rest for a bit then be prepare for tomorrow, see you then. *Komaru walk away as Sunako turn around*

Hopefully this will ease the stress on Komaru...hopefully...

*Sunako turns around and quickly types...*

[despair-to-future-arcs]

But we can’t use this. Because there is NO WAY some members of the Future Foundation is gonna accept this as fact. I mean telling them ghosts are real? You are gonna be reduced to a laughing stock.

...Did you guys forget that Mikako Kurokawa exist? She is the Ultimate Exorcist of Class 79. I mean she is in our Hope's Peak student records for a reason.

No no no, I refuse to believe that ghost ac-actually exist! You gotta be shitting me right now!

I'm not, in fact Future Foundation does allow these type of testimonies - I even remember seeing it happen with one of the next generation of hope was able to solve crimes by just hearing the dead.

His name is Benjiro Abiko; he has this ability to hear the dead, starting with his mom killing his dad which his dad told him who kill him and informing the police of it which she was nearly was going to dump the evidence.

In fact, he even helped Future Foundation - you should of seen the shock on Juzo's face when it happen and found the culprit too.

You have GOT to be shitting me, what the actual shit! No no, this should not be happening - what the actual fuck!

Wait so your saying that this testimony is legit?!

Yeah it is, so we can use this!

Wow, I didn't know this would be super useful!

I can't freakin' believe this, there's no way this is possible...!

But Toko... didn't you remember when Mr. Towa possessed me and told me all that? I think I might be able to speak to the dead...

DON'T.START.PLEASE!

...I feel I'm missing context, what's going on?

I... think we all are...
