Sorry about last chapter. I was almost done with it two weeks before it got posted, but then it somehow got deleted. I went into a rage quit and then stopped for a few days. Then went back to it late ._. ... On with the story!

Back to the Hope's Peak's principal and the other students/seniors, they walk to the path they were on. It was seriously unfortunate that they couldn't find them at the guild that they were in. It was Blue Pegasus. It turns out that Akita took away Jin's memories of her and her guild. So finding them will be a lot harder than it should've been. It's going to be hard, but the 78th class remembered how optimistic that their missing classmate is. They're using it as determination to find Naegi Makoto. They can't give up!

But it's probably going to be easier for everyone, since now, there's a wizard competition coming up! All wizards from around this place called Fiore is coming to a single area. They're going there to compete against each other to become the strongest guilds in Fiore! It's called the Grand Magic Games. This is their chance to finally get some answers and find their missing few.

It's nighttime. Twilight covers the sky in a light that not even their home can compare. The stars shone brightly. Of course, most of the Ultimate Students use their skills to appreciate the night. Many enjoyed it. All except for one.

Komaeda isn't admiring the Ultimate's hope like he usual does. As he follows them, he continues to look up into the sky in wonder. His classmates knew it's weird for him not to. There was no comment from him, nor a response. They remembered that he spoken how they needed to find Kitamura-san, but other than that, he isn't being responsive at all.

Eyes eyeing him. The one who is eyeing him intensely is now getting very concerned. Usually, she warned herself that she shouldn't worry about him like this, and makes sure she's a few feet away from him, but then it's actually getting seriously concerning in a... sympathetic way. She taps onto his shoulders, making him jump a little, which kind of surprises her for a moment, but he looks towards the one who tapped on his shoulder.

His eyes widen to see it was the younger Ultimate's Hope's little sister. "Oh. Naegi-san!" He tries smiling his creepy smile, but this time, she sees it failing. "Why would you want to hang out with me? I think you would like to hang out with the others other than me."

"No." She shakes her head. She has to say it now before he does something... dramatic again. "It's not like we haven't seen it. We all know that something is up because... you usually talk strangely. Saying you admire people's hopes and... stuff like that, but now..."

It's hard to say it. Is it because she doesn't know how to describe it? Or is it because she's nervous? Either way, she needs to say it. "Do you know Kitamura?"

Silence was only there. He giggles, but shrugs, "I don't know. Why don't you answer that question."

"I'm serious Komaeda!" She screams at the male. She grabs his shoulders and looks firmly into his eyes. "I see it in your eyes! The feeling like... like I'm feeling! It's like something has been ripped out of chests! Something really important, but we can't remember it! Like... Like..." Tears form into her eye. She doesn't know why she's crying. A pained feeling deep inside of her heart is tearing her apart.

"Like a painful memory was taken away, but we're still crying. Isn't that right?" He dully explains.

Yeah. That was her answer. It was the answer that she had for a very long time. So why was she only able to say it now?

He asks, "You also had that feeling? I think we did knew her." Taken back, she lets go and looks into his eyes. They were serious and now... she's hearing something... something she needs to know. "It must be it. How else it feels like something is missing and we can't see it? How is it?"

That does explain a lot. But still, there's unanswered questions that needs to be solved. They had a feeling that if they solve the next question, more questions will bumble inside of their heads. Komaru won't give up though. She won't give up until they get to where they need to be.

"Alright! We can't give up now!"

He nods. "Yeah. It's time for us to solve this mystery, once and for all."

An unlikely bond between the two has formed. But it doesn't feel different at all. Why? Maybe that's part of the mystery. They can't wait to see their missing few and find out their questions. Komaeda's plight has been lifted. Komaru is full of determination. There's no backing down.

A few worried eyes look at the two as they smile brightly. One with glasses bit her thumb nail and growls, "How did they became friends? She hated him when I was on a mission to save Byakyuya."

"Yeah." Agrees a boy with hot pink hair, wearing a beanie. "I have no idea the effects of her being around a guy like him. He's basically a creep."

"I don't think we should worry too much. But it is concerning someone nice as her to be around him." A short haired redhead mutters.

Hearing them conversing, Kyoko steps up and glares at the group spying on the two. "What the heck is going on?" She questions them. Of course, Souda freaked out, Mahiru jumped, and Toko flinched. "I think we should be more worried about finding Akita, Makoto and the other student of class 77-B than worrying about those two."

"B-but don't you think he's a bad influence to her! Despair or no Despair, he's still a creep!" Toko screeched.

Sighing, she explains, "You should know better. She has her own choices to make. So allow her to do whatever she wants. I mean, what harm is it to be around someone." But of course, she knew something was up though. It was like those two... were friends when they were kids. Odd, but maybe finding Akita will help her find answers later... and what did her dad discussed with Master Bob?
