Fan-translation! What if Nagito Komaeda was a girl?

Chapter 5. Getting to Know the 'Symbols of Hope'

—Is this important?

—My job is to ensure you use these electronic notebooks to collect Fragments of Hope. The deeper your bond with your classmates, the more you get. Collect as many as you can and let your hope flourish. That's the purpose of this field trip!

And right after she was done talking, she disappeared from our sight. A rabbit plush that can move, talk and... teleport? What kind of person could be behind that thing?

—Hey! Hold on a second!

—It's a relief to hear it's all just a game —Komaeda said—. At least we're not in danger!

—I guess you're right...

—More importantly... you still know nothing about the others, right? I think you should get to know them as well...

—You're probably right, but... where did they go?

—To explore the island... I guess they went ahead and made themselves familiar with it since we were told we would live here for now, so... why don't you go look for them while you explore? I could come with you, if you want...

—Alright...

—Let's get going, then! —she said, holding my hand. That made me blush a bit for some reason...—.

It seems like I got myself a... cute friend...

As I went down the pathway with her I couldn't help but ask myself... is everyone really fine with this? Can we really afford to take this so lightly? Can some fresh air and sunrays really make people take this sort of things so... easily? W- WHAT IF... USAMI HAD DONE SOMETHING TO US?!

—Hinata-kun, what's wrong? Shouldn't we just get going?

—...yeah.

Anyway, if I was just having a nightmare, then... why does it not look like one? And what kind of nightmare would be like this?

—Hinata's POV ends here—

—Komaeda's POV—

—About exploring the island... it seems like they installed a map of the place in the notebook. If we use it, we shouldn't struggle so much to find the others —I pointed out—. In fact, I did a bit of an investigation on them on the internet, before I joined the academy. I can't say I remember everything, but I think I might be able to give you all the info you need on them.

—Hold on... you're telling me you found that kind of information online?!

—Oh?! You didn't know? The school's so popular there's even online forums dedicated solely to talking about the students.

—So... did it say something about me...?

—I don't recall seeing your name there... it's a coincidence you can't remember anything about yourself either...

—Yeah, that's pretty weird...

—Well... it will surely come to you in no time, so don't think much about it and let's go!

That last bit caught me off guard, I didn't think he would take it so seriously, but... why did I blush?... Anyway, it's pretty clear he's the tsun-tsun type...

Lost in my thoughts, I didn't notice we had already arrived at the airport. It had a large landing track and some planes parked on it... but it felt so... frozen in time, empty even. No tourists anywhere to be seen and as uninhabited as anywhere else in the island. And I can't help but ask myself what the hidden purpose of all of this would be. Does it have something to do with my l-
