The Memories We Made - Nagito Komaeda

Chapter 5 - Exploring the Island (1)

"Um I...I...I..." Hajime trailed off. And just then, his face paled as if in some kind of realisation.

"Hinata Kun?" I asked worriedly.

"Hinata Kun, What happened?" Nagito also spoke up worriedly.

Hajime shook. "Ah... It's nothing...! I guess.. I'm still pretty confused about all this...I'm having trouble remembering some things..." he trailed off.

Nagito went quiet for a moment while I nodded my head in understanding.

"Ah.. I see.." I muttered.

"I can understand how your memory might be confused after suddenly getting into a situation like this...I'm sure you'll remember soon after you've settled down so you don't have to worry all that much." Nagito smiled.

"Yes, I agree with Komaeda kun. Do not worry hinata Kun, I'm sure you'll remember soon!" I said reassuringly.

"Both of you are right.." Hajime said.

"Then, I guess we're done with our introductions for now. Even though, I don't know what's going on.. I hope we get along." Nagito said with a calm smile.

"I hope so too." I smiled back.

And then our e-handbooks beeped.

Hajime jumped. "Hey! Did something just beep!? Wh-What a weird sound!" He said in surprise as he reached in his pockets.

And then, he took out his E-Handbook and gaped at it.

"Wh-What the hell is this!? It looks like a PDA...or a smartphone...! Why is something like this inside my pocket???" He exclaimed in confusion.

Nagito and I both went silent for a moment.

D-Did he forget that Usami handed them out to us?

"Usami was passing them out earlier... remember?" Nagito asked while sweatdropping.

"He was pretty out of it earlier.. so perhaps that's why." I muttered.

"Oh right, he was quite out of it when that was going on!" Nagito agreed.

"N-Now that you two mention it.. I think I kind of remember now..." Hajime muttered.

"Thank goodness. I was scared for a moment that you had a temporary memory loss or something...!" I said as I sighed in relief.

Hajime sweatdropped. "But.. what is this?"

And just when he asked, Usami appeared out of nowhere. "It's an E-Handbook!"

I jumped in shock and bumped into nagito. "Ow.."

Wh-What's with her suddenly appearing and disappearing out of nowhere??

"Hey, are you alright?" Nagito asked.

"Oh yes.. thank you." I sweatdropped as I gently pulled away from the hand which was grabbing my arm from falling.

"Wh-What the-?!" Even Hajime was in shock.

"Where did you come from!?" He asked the question I was about to ask.

"You.. almost gave me a heart-attack. Please don't do something like that again." I said as I put my hand on my chest.

"Oh! Did I startle you two? I'm terribly sorry." Usami apologized.

"Teehee! I know how to apologise like a good girl! But anyway, isn't it cool? The handbook is pretty vital for the school trip, so make sure not to lose it!" She explained to Hajime.

As Usami explained how the E-Handbook works, nagito turned to me. I was still clutching my beating heart and sighed in relief when I finally fully calmed down.
