3rd Person POV (Nagito Focus)

       The village of Mirai was as busy as ever. With witches, mages, blacksmiths, farmers selling items that people could potentially need, the town is really busy. Nagito is looking for the library or that one inventor, he couldn't really remember.

       "Oi! Komaeda!". He paused and turned to the short knight. "Ah, Kuzu~kun! How have you been?". The shorter male glares at him, "D-did I do something wrong again? I made sure to stay in my house for a week!".

      "That's the problem, you've gotten even stronger!". Nagito was startled by the short male yelling at him, he didn't like when people yelled at him. The sense of panic always rushes and yet he pushes it down and acts like he's ok.

      "Well I didn't want anyone to get hurt by my luck, I'm already useless to the town so why not stay inside?" he asked with a smile. The smile wasn't real of course, but he could fool people like that.

         "Tch. You piss me off", "I came to give a warning that you're close to being on the wanted list". After he said that, he walked away. Nagito continued walking, hopefully finding something to distract him before the voices got louder.

       Didn't he need more books about the yin yang? And more items to convert the potion into a spell. He also had to meet up at the WSI. Workspace of Inventors. He had heard that they were inventing a new way to communicate with friends from a long distance.

         Curiosity had filled him so he went there first. The workspace is one of the tallest buildings in the village. He slowly entered inside the facility and immediately covered his nose. Nobody likes the smell of oil unless you're weird.

      "Miu~chan! Komaeda~san is here!". "Good afternoon Fujisaki~kun". "Hey it's the whore mage! Looking good in that outfit by the way". He rolled his eyes at the female inventor.

        "Hi Miu.. did you guys finish that invention you were working on?". "Oh yeah! We just needed someone to test it out, luckily you're here so you can do that" she tells him. "That was my whole purpose of coming here" he mumbled. Miu then ran into the back of the workspace.

       "I apologize that she keeps calling you that, Komaeda~san", Chihiro tells him. "It's fine, I'm use to it", he tells him with a smile. Though he wouldn't like to be called a whore, he'd prefer slut but he wasn't going to tell her that.

         "Alright here's the invention!" Miu yells, handing it to Nagito. He looks at the invention disappointed, "This is a box". "No, no, no! It's not a box", "It's called a phone". "What does it do?". Miu groaned and snatched it from him, "There's an on button on the side, you click it to turn it on". She then turns on the phone, "Here what we need you to do is send a text first".

       "A text?". "Text messages, in case you don't like talking outloud", "Also we made that one personally for you so you have our contact information" she explains to him.

         Nagito looks perplexed, "I don't really know how to work this". "The green button with a speech bubble is the text app" Chihiro tells him. Following Chihiro's directions, he clicks the button and sees three names, Chihiro, his dad Taichi, and Miu. He clicks Miu's name and starts typing.

Nagito

The next time you call me a whore, I'll light your hair on fire

         Miu's phone dinged and Nagito smirks when her face turns into horror. "You bitch! You better not light my hair on fire!" she yells. "Watch who you're talking to sweets, I can burn your hair whenever I feel like it" he tells her with sass.

        She glares at him, "How do calls work? I assume you made an app for that also, yes?". "We did, but calls are made for long distance" Chihiro answers. "So are text messages and they work".

        "We need you to go from a 5-10 mile distance so we can see if it actually works", Miu explained. "I can gladly do that as I had other things to do, I'll come back again later and call you too". Chihiro waves while Miu snarls at him. That'll teach her a lesson to respect me and what I wear, I'll go to the library first then the potion shop.

        He continued to walk to the other side of the town, not aware of the person calling his name. "Nagito Komaeda!". He froze, "Who the hell do you think you are calling my name like.... th..at", "Heyyyy bestie".

        Rantaro glares at him, "So now you can hear?". "I apologize for that, you already know I walk mindlessly". "You must stop doing that for your sake". "I told you I was working on it", Nagito huffed.

        "Don't get annoyed with me, you could run into something or get snatched up" Rantaro tells him, worriedly. Nagito looked around for a second, making sure no one was listening, "Zinnia I swear I'm fine". "Using my secret name in public?" he asks, ruffling Nagito's hair.

        "Stop it, you know I'm serious and give me back my hat!" Nagito whined. "In all seriousness, here's your hat by the way, you'll be safe right Clover?". "I can try, but my luck is unpredictable so I'm not really sure", Nagito explains to him. He felt guilty about not being safe and worrying his friend.

        "Then let's make a promise, yeah?". "What is it now?". "Promise me you'll try your best to stay out of the trouble, with or without your luck". Nagito was honestly confused at the request, it's not like he didn't understand it, but he didn't know how it was possible. His luck was very unpredictable, but without it?

       "I can't promise that". Rantaro chuckles, "You don't understand it do you?". "No and don't laugh at me". Rantaro smiles softly at him and he looks away, "Clover can you promise it? I'll explain it to you another day". "Y-yeah, I promise". "Great, I also got your ingredients for converting the spell", he tells him.

       "You got them for me?! You didn't—". "Hush clover, I know I didn't especially after I got the other ones for you", "But I knew you're busy so I got them for you". "Thanks bestie". "You're welcome". "Rantaro ruffle my hair again and I will bite you", Nagito threatens. "Oooo so feisty".

      "N-no I'm not! Hmph go away asshole". Rantaro smirks and leans closer to whispers in his ear, "Your blushing clover". And then he walks away. "You bitch!" Nagito yelled after him.

🍀

         Nagito makes it to the library, his face is still flushed. Stupid bestfriend. I'm not blushing nor embarrassed! "D-do you need something K-komaeda~kun?". Nagito jumped at the voice speaking to him, "Oh Fukawa~chan, you scared me". "W-were you thinking about s-some guy fucking you?".

          "Jesus no!". A bunch of people then 'sh' them. Nagito sighed, "Are those books I saved still here?". "N-no some w-weird lady came and took them, w-without checking them out". Nagito groans mentally, he needs those.

      "Thanks Fukawa~chan, I'll come back another day". "D-don't come back". Nagito just walks out of the library, ignoring her statement.

        Outside, he pulls out his new 'phone' and calls Chihiro. It made a ringing sound until he heard the other males voice. "Hello Komaeda~san, calls work!". "I can see that Fujisaki~kun, go ahead and tell Miu that for me". "Of course, can I get a location please?" Chihiro asks. "I'm at the library at this time", he responds.

       "Library? That's on the other side of town!". Nagito chuckles, "I know I did say I was busy". "Have fun with the rest of your chores!". The phone hangs up after that. What should I do now?

         A hand suddenly grabbed his arm. "Excuse me ma'am let me go". "Is your name Nagito Komaeda?" She asks him. "How do you know my name?". "You're, you're one of the yin yang" she stuttered. The lady was creeping Nagito out. "Y-you have no prove of t-that". "Gundam Tanaka, he told you right?".

        "Are you stalking me and my friends?! I'll report you to the guards if you don't let me go" he threatens. "If you really wanted me to let go, you would've pushed me", "I'm a fortune teller".

      "Someone who can see the future? You're lying". The lady sighs and pulls out some books, most of which he recognized and one he didn't.

         Those are the books I wanted!". "Do you believe me now?" The lady asks him. "I suppose I have no choice but to believe you, though you could've stalked me", "Then again I'm not that interesting to be stalked by anyone". The lady frowns at him, "You should take these books and my advice". He nodded, symboling for her to continue.

        "I already talked to the other person representing yin yang, you both need to find specific artifacts and then meet each other" she explains. "Who is the other person?" He asks her. "That I can not tell you, but with your luck you two are perfect for each other".

        "My luck? It actually does some good?" He mumbles. "This book tells you the first artifact you need to find and after that you can use it to communicate with them".

        "Are you sure it's me? Like it's no mix up or anything?" He questions. "No it's not, are you doubting my abilities?". "No ma'am it's just that other person is really unlucky to end up with someone as worthless as me" he tells her. Her eyes widened in shock, "Why do you have that mindset?".

         "You didn't already know how my mind set work?". "I did, I just didn't expect it to be this bad". "So this book has a map in it right?" he asks, getting bored. "Yes, you have to find the first artifact to see where the other ones are, and make sure no one gets these items" she warns.

         "No one else? Why would anyone want them?". "The power of yin yang can be useful to the evil people in this land". The tone in the lady's voice changed, like she was scared. "I'm not supposed to tell you this, but someone wants you dead! So be careful while looking for these".

          "What is your name? You can get a phone from Miu and we can keep in contact" he tells the lady. "Might as well, I'm already risking my life by telling you this".

       "How come?". "The capital already knew this information for at least four months now and keeping it from the public", "You and your partner is already dangerous enough with the amount of power you have, imagine combining that with yin yang" she explains with a serious expression.

         "So they're scared of us, because if one thing goes wrong we could whatever, correct?". "Yes, but the capital is becoming more corrupt and the people need help", "Please help us" she begged.

        Nagito thinks for a second, he doesn't want a whole bunch of innocent people to be hurt, because of politics. "I'll do it, when should I leave to look for it?" he asks her, now determined. "As soon as you can, now I have to go if I see your friend again, I'll give you my number" she tells him.

       "W-wait! What about your name?". She pauses to think, "Just call me Pineapple". And she was gone after that. Well Nagito, you're in deep shit and you're important now.
