#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]

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...

Chapter 3: The Will to Survive | Daily Life part 2

 I had woken up the next morning which I look to the clock, seems I woke up a bit earlier as then I took a shower, did my usual routine like every morning since I got here then left my room.

 As I walk outside I notice Inoue-chan who look to be standing by Kimura-san’s door which she look a bit curious which she notice me. “Oh, morning Big sis Fuji!” She say as waving to me as I walk over which I walk over as looking at Kimura-san’s room.

 Guess she’s still not out it seems…

 “I know that Kuma-kun say he has fed her but can a person really stay in their room all day, isn’t it usually a good thing to go outside every now and then?” She asked which I shrugged. “Well it does have a bathroom and toilet in there but I have to agree…” I commented, maybe we can have someone talk with her?

 As then Inoue-chan look at me. “Well why not have her talk with Abiko-kun? Seeing as he’s like… half dead or something, maybe he can speak with her.” She brought up which I smiled as giving a nod. “I think that be a great idea, will bring it up during the morning meeting.” I told her which she smiled as her eyes sparkle.

 “Well if it’s to help her of how to gain a will to live so her mommy won’t be disappointed, I mean… we wouldn’t want to disappoint our parents, correct?” She asked as taking her leave. That kid… is really odd sometimes.

 As then I made my way down the stairs as then I notice the only person in the living room was Hana-san which I walk over to her. “Man, for some reason I really am interested in that place…” She commented which I look confused. “Huh? What place?” I asked which the surfer look to me. “Oh – the movie treater, the thing is I’ve never been to one and now I want to see a movie! But Hamoponi mention that I need tickets to go see one… that’s too bad, I really want to see it with some friends…” She commented as a bit disappointed but didn’t seem too bent out of shape.

 As then I recall getting something that look like tickets. “Actually I got these tickets that I’ve been holding onto which I think it’s mention to be around evening from the looks of it.” I stated which Hana-san seem excited. “Oh sweet, I actually heard it’s the story about this author living at this house which I think some kids open up the book it releases all his horror stories! It seems like a kids movie but with horror in it!” She spoke being really excited which got me excited too.

 However, she notices the number of tickets I was holding which she frowns “But oh darn… seems we can only invite four people, right I’ll ask if some of the guys want to come along then… see you at evening!” She spoke as she took her leave.

 I guess Hana-san seem really curious about the movie theatre or she never been to one, ah right we got a meeting to go to.

 As then I made my way in and of course, Kimura-san wasn’t with us. “So, she won’t be joining us again…?” Mori-san started the conversation which the others seem to be quiet. “Sadly, not it seems…” Katou-san answered which then Kobayashi-san cross his arms. “Okay, we really need to get her out of her room and I get that she lost her mom but even some of us have to…” He spoke as he frown which he had his hands in his pocket.

 “But how do we do that? We can’t just drag her out unless…” Norman-san began as he had a devilish look on his face which Hayashi-san scowl at him. “I would recommend not or I’ll hold you back. “Then I’ll accept that challenge~.” He spoke as he had a nose bleed which Hayashi-san seem disgusted as this Mori-san.

 However as then Nakahara-san thought it over. “Then we can blow it off!” He stated as getting excited which Kita-san shook his head. “Let’s not do that…” He spoke as everyone try to come up with ideas.

 However it seems Inoue-chan raise her hand. “Hey I know, why not we get Benjiro-kun to speak with her! I mean he talk with Kuma-kun before – maybe he can do the same with Tomoe-chan!” She suggested which I smiled which the others look at her then at Abiko-san who was looking at us.

 “You… wish for me to speak with her? Very well, I’ll give it a try and try to get her out of the room but you all would need to be patient with me since how people mourn for death is pretty different…” He explained which I nodded. “Got it, so will leave that to you but… what about the monitor room?” I asked as we look to each other.

 As then Nakahara-san seem curious. “Oh yes, correct! I mean it’s a room full of cameras and various electronics inside that maybe we can get in but it seems we can enter it…” He spoke as then Masa-san nodded. “That means we got to figure out who Hamoponi’s creator is, right?” She asked which Kobayashi-san nodded in agreement as then he cross his arm to think.

 “Then… we might need to capture Hamoponi’s creator and get them to open the door but the question is, how?” He asked which then Hayashi-san thought it over. “We could set up a trap.” She suggested as we look to each other.

 However it seems Norman-san pointed. “Then will dart them, I think knocking them out with a dart and THEN will get questions and ask why we are here and-!” “Hold on a second that be a bad idea…” Kita-san interrupted Norman-san as then he spoke up. “darts are mostly use for large animals, not people and it could poison that person so I think tying them up might be a better solution.” He suggested which Norman-san look dejected as Katou-san seem relieved which Hayashi-san step up. “Then, I’ll prepare the trap for Hamoponi’s creator, it should be easy to prepare one with rope… I’ll even wait by the door to spring the trap too.” She brought up.

 As then Masa-san nodded. “Right so it seems we got a plan to capture Hamoponi’s creator and maybe even we can find Isamu-san as well if Hamoponi’s creator is really on our side.” She stated which we all nodded as then I sat myself down which I notice Nakahara-san look to be working on that megaphone again which Masa-san notice as well.

 “Oh, doing more upgrades on that thing?” She asked which he nodded. “Yes, just needs a few more bits and pieces then I think it’ll be fully deck out, I can even add new bullets to make robots do certain functions no problem!” He stated with excitement which I notice a section for batteries. “Oh, I guess this thing will be battery power?” I asked which Masa-san sighed. “Admittedly it isn’t very strong sadly, it could shut down robots no problem but so you can amplify it?” She asked which he nodded. “Yep but seems I’ll need to use some batteries for this device so just give me a few more days then it’ll be done~.” He declared.

 At least he seems to be enjoying tinkering away which I laughed. “Well I bet you can add a dancing feature or something, maybe we can use it on Hamoponi?” I asked which of course Nakahara-san seem excited. “Why yes, that’s a genius idea Fuji-san!” He spoke out which I smiled.

 “Well glad to hear that Nakahara-san~.” I complimented which he then got embarrassed again. “Ca-Can you refer to me as Rai, man born from thunders?” He asked which I blinked. “That’s too long… maybe Rai-kun?” I asked which he was more motivated. “Then I’ll accept that, Fuji-chan~!” He spoke as he started to work on it as quickly as possible.

 As then breakfast was going, I notice Hayashi-san and Kita-san leave pretty early, likely to set up the trap which I notice Mori-san staring at them. “They… seem to be spending a lot of time together.” She spoke which I notice her comment which I look to them then back at the figure skater.

 “Well seems they’ll be setting up the trap if I had to guess…” I commented which she sighed as she ate. “I suppose that is a top priority…” She stated which she sighed.

 I guess Mori-san might be down regarding her… crush I guess but even still, at least she understands why the 2 are as then I continue on breakfast.

 --

 Free Time Event!

After that I went back to my room as then thinking over what to do while we wait to capture Hamoponi’s creator to find Haku… maybe, I’ll spend time with someone!

 As I was leaving Hamoponi stop me which I stare at him. “Well since you left your room so quickly and went to bed early, I figure I give this to you.” He stated as tossing me a bag with coins. “I apologize for not giving it to you sooner now please go on!” He declared as he disappears once again.

 That horse sure has a lot to do with protecting us, which as then I went on my way outside as exploring the area as also getting stickers and getting even more prizes which as then I decided to see who I could spend time with which then I see one person…

 Mori-san who seems to be watching Kita-san and Hayashi-san working on the trap which she seems pretty dejected. “I mean, I can see why they are working together but they are spending a lot of time together…” She commented which I frown.

 I couldn’t help but feel bad… maybe I should spend time with Mori-san?

 >Hang out

 -Maybe another time

 As then I tapped Mori-san on the shoulder. “Oh, you want to do something… well sure thing, I guess you be curious of one such as myself~.” She spoke with a sad smile.

 The 2 of us started talking about various things, even plans of how to get Hamoponi’s creator…

 The 2 of us grew closer from the looks of it which as then I smiled a little bit. “Hey, Mori-san-.” “Oh, uh… can you refer to me as Miwa-sama, I would much prefer it~!” She spoke as speaking of herself very highly which I went quiet which then she sighed. “Then refer to me as Miwa-san if you don’t wish to do so…” She stated as disappointed by my response which as then I continue.

 “Well anyway, I was thinking that maybe you can teach me how to skate?” I asked which Mori-san look most curious. “You wish to learn from yours truly?” She asked in return as referring to herself which I gave a nod which suddenly her face lit up with excitement.

 She then grabs my wrist as the 2 of us left. “Then come along and I’ll teach you!” She spoke as we made our way to the ice rink which when we arrive, we look around then I look to her. “Right then, let’s get some skates!” She spoke which then the 2 of us got skates on which as I was about to tie up my skates.

 I notice that Mori-san walk over as giving me a helmet. “Here you go.” She spoke as I had a confused look. “Huh? Why do I need this for?” I asked which she pointed her finger. “Well counting you’ll be learning how to skate from yours truly, you’ll need the proper headgear so when you fall so you don’t break your head.” She spoke as if an expert which made sense with her talent.

 As then I put on the helmet as I slowly got up which then the 2 of started skating for a bit which after a while was holding onto the railing as I look at my feet which Mori-san took notice of. “You still seem a bit nervous…” She commented which I sighed. “We-well sorry but I’m not good at skating, I’ve never done it before.” I admitted which she nodded.

 “I see then, well what I’ve done when I first skated was have Adjustable Child Skate Trainer or have my grandmother hold my hands to help me skate.” She commented which I was blinked. “Wait, your grandmother was a figure skater?” I asked which she nodded. “Indeed, my parents were often very busy to provide for me when I was little that I was left in the care of my grandmother quite a lot to a point where I stay with her, I even attended the school there as well!” She spoke pretty proudly which she gave a sigh of relief as she continue.

 “In fact, it was my grandmother that inspired me to start figure skating which she use to be in the Olympics which she got a gold metal in figure skating, I actually saw her skating once which I couldn’t tear my eyes away which I wanted to try it out.” She spoke up seeming very fond of this memory which I smiled. “Well, I can see why you took up figure skating then.” I told her which she smiled as she seems happier. “Well, of course! I always saw my grandmother as my idol that when I ask her to teach me, she became my instructor! I won’t lie – she was very strict and harsh when it came to figure skating which would make sense and of course I listen to her instructions… Which it was the same like how it was back then…” She spoke a bit more quietly as I tilted my head to the side.

 As then she notices me looking at her which she waved. “We-Well regardless this shouldn’t be about me, we are teaching you to skate, correct so let’s keep going~.” She says as trying to change the subject right away.

 I guess that something happens with her grandma that sounds bad but I decided to speak about it any further…

 Mori Miwa, Ultimate Figure Skater FTE: 1/5

 --

 After doing more skating I return back to my room which then I look at the clock and notice I still had more Free time!

 As then I began to wander once more and found Inoue-chan who looks to be around the mountain as she looks at it. “I wonder if we can go sledding here…?” She asked which I look up the mountain it does seem pretty steep.

 Should I go and spend time with Inoue-chan…?

 >Hang out

 -Maybe another time

 As then Inoue-chan notice me and smiled right away. “Oh hey, great timing that you’re here! Let’s go then~!” She spoke as rushing off. Which as then me and Inoue-chan began to go sledding on the mountain.

 Looks like me and Inoue-chan got closer together which is good!

 As then I reach into my pocket and took out what look to be a book that could be use for anything which I handed it to her. “Oh sweet, your giving me this – well you gone up in my ranking!” She declared as she took it. Looks like she’s happy now!

 As then Inoue-chan tilted her head to the side. “So then, curious about my lil’ Ultimate talent still?” She asked which I thought over for a bit which I suggested one. “Well I did remember you mentioning drawing so maybe the lil’ Ultimate Artist?” I asked which then Inoue-chan shook her head.

 I guess from that reaction I got it wrong which she explained. “Nope, I mean I do like drawing but yet again I’m not some kid that wants to be hated or is…” She then paused which I reach my hand out to check on her.

 “Huh? Or is what…?” I asked which she went silent as she spoke. “Well, I was going to say lackey kid but honestly how my life is right now… I guess it does match up.” She stated which I was confused by that. “Wait, you walk home to school on your own?!” I asked which she seem shocked as then she got nervous.

 She looks to be twirling her fingers around as she spoke. “We-Well, it was once, I mean it doesn’t bother me as much but I guess my family have a really good reason for it.” Which I was surprise she would say that!

 I mean, what reason would a parent not bring their kid to school. “I think your parents should be responsible for watching over if you ask me?! I don’t care what excuse they have; they have to walk you school to-!” “If you let me explain instead of jumping to conclusion then you’ll understand but trust me, my mom had a good reason…” She interrupted which I paused.

 “Huh, your… mom? Wait so your mother had a reason to not pick you up from school?” I asked which she nodded. “Well about a year ago, she ended up in a pretty bad accident which resulted in her being in a coma which resulted in the maids and butlers tending to my needs so I never was bother by it but then… we had money issues which all the maids and bulters had to leave.” She spoke which I frown for a moment.

 I… wasn’t sure how to feel about it but then Inoue-chan wave it off. “Bu-But don’t worry, I don’t let it get to me and besides it’s in the past anyway, right? Let’s just try and figure out what my talent is, right?” She asked.

 Clearly she wants to avoid the subject but… that isn’t a good way to handle those issues…

 Inoue Sunako, Ultimate Child Prodigy FTE: 2/5

 --

 After that I took my leave and return to my room, which then I look at the clock and saw that it was evening.

 I promised Hana-san we go with some friends to the movies, as then I made my way out of my room and found myself at the treater which not just Hana-san but also Inoue-chan, Kobayashi-san, Abiko-san and Rai-kun.

 Of course Hana-san rush over and saw the tickets. “Oh sweet, you got them now we can go!” She declared which Inoue-chan had this wide smile. “So we’re going to see a movie? Sweet I wanted to go check this out – hey can we get snacks?” She asked which she rush over as getting some snacks as Kobayashi-san look at her which he laughed a bit. “Well a movie would be nice breather, I guess I’ll get some snacks as well…” He commented as heading over to refreshments.

 Hana-san look to be smiling. “Well if we’re getting snacks I better get something too!” She stated as going to after the other 2 however I notice Abiko-san look to the posters. “I see we got quite a few movies airing instead of this one tonight, I heard a horror movie for kids…” He commented which I look at him with a confused expression. “Well it is, you like horror movies?” I asked which he nodded.

 “Yes but I also quite enjoy kid movies in general so I figure I would watch a kid’s movie, like maybe the one that about a man with a hunchback living in a bell tower…” He commented which I stare at him, that… doesn’t sound like a kid’s film at all.

 As then I notice Rai-kun look to be playing the games as I walk over. “So you wanted to see this movie?” I asked which he turn to me. “Of course, as a man born from thunders – I fear nothing at all! Which if you wish you can hold my hand so you’ll have someone to protect you.” He stated as placing his hand on his chest.

 I guess it wouldn’t hurt to humor her. “Oh yes, my hero – I sure am going to rely on you; say want to share food with me?” I asked which of course Rai-kun look embrassed. “Ye-yes, I like salted popcorn if asking, skittles and pretzels…” He stated which the 2 of us went to get snack which as then I notice Hamoponi appear.

 “Now the movie is prepared, please show the tickets and come right in~!” He spoke as twirling his cane which I walk over as holding out the tickets which he looks them over and nodded. “Very well, you six may enter!” He stated as he steps aside as we all walk in and headed for our seats.

 As of course the movie wasn’t that scary but it was meant for kids so when I look to Inoue-chan, she seem to have this shock look on her face. “Ooooh, the monsters look pretty life like, huh?” She asked which Kobayashi-san and Hana-san look to each other and smile as Abiko-san weirdly fell asleep… so much for that, huh?

 However, the one person I took notice of was Rai-kun who look to be holding onto me in excitement. “Lo-Look look, he is totally gonna get cornered! I mean he really is gonna be corner!” He shouted which Kobayashi-san eyed him. “Tell him to be quiet.” He asked quietly which nodded which I look to Rai-kun. “Yes, I do see it but maybe quiet down.” I stated as he looks to me then huffed as he look away however I notice he was holding onto my hand still…

 Overall, despite how somethings were we all had a great time as then we return to our lodge.

 As then I look up at the clock as I notice it was getting late, which then I left my room to get something to drink but as I walk by I notice that Abiko-san’s at the door which I walk over.

 “So your going to speak with her?” I asked which he nodded. “Yes, I think I might give it a try and try to help her if I can…” He spoke which I nodded as I made my way downstairs and headed for the kitchen to get myself a glass of water which then I notice Norman-san who look to notice me. “Oh why hello to you, Fuji – I guess you’ll be heading to bed?” He asked which I nodded which he sighed.

 “I’ll be honest but I’m rather glad that will try and find this guy or girl who’s responsible for having us try to kill each other but even if it doesn’t work… you think we can trust Hamoponi?” He asked which I thought it over. “Well counting how he’s been, he seems to want to have us get along or protect us from the outside world so.” I stated which he nodded.

 As then he look away. “Like, I’m sure will catch but if not then…” He pauses then he shook his head. “I think I rather not have another killing happen, because honestly Masa-san was the one that scared me the most still so let’s hope we find Hamoponi’s creator or whoever is setting this up…” He spoke as taking his leave which I finish my glass of water as I put it in the sink.

 I… really hope so too.

 As then I decided to go and get ready for bed, as getting my PJs on as then getting ready for bed and then slumber awaited me…

 Hamoponi Threatre;

 ‘As thus those that decide to prepare and those that have to take action to decide of what to do!

 It proves what others want, what others needs and… the will to figure what to do, so then the question remains…

 What would you do in such situations? Is a good question… don’t you think but even then I have no clue at all…”
