Anime: Desolate Darkness

After a lot of explanation, Sawamura Eriri finally understood the situation a little.

"Teacher Izumi is really hard-working. She has to go to such lengths to take care of her daughter's emotions."

"It can't be helped. After all, that girl is more enthusiastic about Qiaojun than me. I can't imagine what stupid things she would do if she knew about the relationship between Qiaojun and me."

"But we can't keep hiding forever, can we?"

"I know this, but I don't know how to tell Sagiri..."

Seeing Izumi Riko hanging her head with a helpless look on her face, Sawamura Eriri began to think of a solution for her.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't come up with a reasonable solution.

In the end, I don't know what got into her, she actually came up with a shocking idea, "Teacher Izumi, have you ever thought about agreeing to your daughter's relationship?"

"What the hell are you talking about?!"

Izumi Riko's shocked voice echoed throughout the room, and Sawamura Eriri was forced to cover her ears.

If I agree with Sagiri's feelings, doesn't that mean that Takumi will have both me and Sagiri? ! Although they are not biological children, they are better than biological children. How can such a mother-daughter relationship be so chaotic? ! !

"Sawamura-san! Your idea is too dangerous!" She said to Sawamura Eriri with a serious face.

……

After playing a few games with Sagiri, seeing that the time was almost up, with still half an hour until 5:30, Kimura Takumi made up an excuse to leave.

As for the dinner for Izumi and his mother, he thought it wouldn't be too late to prepare it when he came back around 7 o'clock. Anyway, neither of them was in a hurry and they wouldn't know they were hungry unless they shouted.

At the same time, a completely different scene unfolds at Goto Ichiri's home.

Goto Ichiri's parents were busy in the kitchen, carefully preparing various delicious dishes.

Taking advantage of the busy interval, Goto Michiyo was still worried, so she walked out of the kitchen, walked quickly to the sofa in the living room, and asked Goto Ichiri again: "Ichiri-chan, are you sure you have informed the teacher carefully?"

Hearing his mother's repeated questioning for who knows how many times, Goto Ichiri couldn't help but shudder. Then he quickly raised his voice and answered loudly, "Really! Really!"

Although she was telling the truth, due to her personality, she could not hide the slight nervousness and guilt in her voice.

Goto Michiyo nodded, said nothing more, and walked straight back to the kitchen.

At this time, Goto Jiri held Jimmy Henry in his arms and sat down next to his sister. His big watery eyes stared at Goto Ichiri with curiosity and asked in a tender voice, "Oh Nie-chan, what kind of person is your teacher?"

After hearing his sister's question, Goto Ichiri fell into deep thought.

To be honest, she didn't know much about Kimura Takumi.

But if I were to describe it intuitively, “Well… he should be a very gentle person, right?”

After all, this is what other students' comments about Kimura Takumi seem to be when I occasionally overhear them talking about her.

Then, Goto Ichiri tried to recall it again and continued, "Besides, he is very tall and handsome. It can be said that he has an outstanding appearance and is very popular in school."

The complete opposite of myself!

"Huh?" After hearing his sister's description, Goto Jiri, who was only five years old, immediately showed confusion on his face. He felt that the other party did not seem to be talking about his teacher.

A quarter of an hour later, the doorbell rang.

"Oh, my teacher is here!" Goto Jiri seemed even more excited, as if he really wanted to see with his own eyes Kimura Takumi who was praised to the sky by his sister.

She jumped off the sofa and trotted towards the entrance, with Jimmy Hen following closely behind.

Seeing this, Goto Ichiri secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, I don't have to open the door...

"Welcome, welcome!" Goto Jiri opened the door and spoke warmly before he even saw who was coming.

"what?"

Because Kimura Takumi was standing too close, Goto Jiri could only see his waist at this time.

Goto Jiri looked up in shock, and then he saw Kimura Takumi's face.

It’s really high!

"You are Oh Nei-chan's teacher, right? I'm her sister! My name is Goto Jiri! Thank you for your guidance!" She smiled and patted her chest as she excitedly introduced herself.

"Woof woof~!" Jimmy Henry under her feet barked twice.

Goto Jiri seemed to understand what it meant. He squatted down, picked it up, and held it in front of Kimura Takumi, introducing it to him: "Its name is Jimmy Henry! It's a member of our family!"

If Goto Jiri's appearance wasn't extremely similar to Goto Ichiri, like a smaller version of her, it would be really hard to imagine that the two were sisters. The difference in their personalities is really too big.

Kimura Takumi couldn't help but be amused by Goto Jiri's liveliness, and bent down slightly, leaning forward, "My name is Kimura Takumi, please give me your guidance."

"You're really cute, can you let me touch you?"

Thinking that the other party was referring to Jimmy Hen, Goto Jiri stood on tiptoe and raised his arms a little higher, "Okay!"

"Woof~!" Jimmy Henry cooperated by sticking out his tongue, looking silly.

"Thank you." As soon as he finished speaking, Kimura Takumi put his big hand on Goto Jiri's head and rubbed it gently.

"Eh?" Feeling the gentle touch of a big hand, Goto Jiri was stunned at first, then his face turned slightly red.

……

At the dinner table, Takumi Kimura mingled with Goto Ichiri's family.

"So Ichiri's friend was introduced by Mr. Kimura!?" Goto Michiyo covered her mouth in surprise.

"No, no, I just played a simple role as a matchmaker. It was Goto's own efforts that enabled him to become friends with Futaba."

"It's almost the same. Teacher, you don't know, this is the first time that Ichiri has made a friend since he was a child!"

Goto Naoki at the side quickly added, "That's right, Ichiri didn't make a single friend until she graduated from junior high school. You don't know how worried we were that she would be bullied in high school."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Kimura Takumi asked knowingly.

Goto Jiri, who was sitting next to him, answered excitedly, "It's true! Oh Nie-chan has always been alone!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Goto Michiyo interrupted again.

"Teacher, let me tell you a secret. When Ichiri first made friends with Futaba, she was so happy!

He always deliberately said something strange in front of us, like 'How did you know I made friends? ', 'I need to change my lunch box to a bigger one, otherwise there won't be enough food to share', etc..."

Stop talking! Stop talking!! I can’t live anymore!!

Goto Ichiri lowered his head lower and lower, holding the bowl and chopsticks with both hands, but he couldn't eat anything.

Her face was gloomy and her eyes were dull, as if she was going through the darkest moment of her life. Her waist, which had been bent for a lifetime, seemed to be completely broken at this moment.

Except for Kimura Takumi, no one noticed her special situation and continued to talk.

After an unknown amount of time, the topic finally shifted away from Goto Ichiri.

Goto Michiyo was curious, "Teacher Kimura, you look so young, how old are you this year?"

"21. I just graduated from college and became a teacher."

"Is that true?! Doesn't that mean he's only 6 years older than Ichiri?"

"If he's only a few years older than Onne-chan, can I call Mr. Kimura 'Kimura brother'?" Goto Jiri asked innocently.

Kimura smiled and responded, "No problem, you can call me whatever you want."

Hearing this, Goto Jiri cheered, "Great!"

Although they were eating at the same table, Goto Ichiri felt that he was getting further and further away from the others...

After dinner, Goto Ichiri's parents began to clean up the mess, and she ran back to her room, hiding in the closet and playing the guitar to vent her sadness.

Kimura Takumi came to the living room and just sat down on the sofa when Goto Jiri came over with Jimmy Henry.

"Brother Kimura! Do you want to go with me and take a walk with Jimmy Hen?"

I'm free anyway, so it's nice to go out for a walk.

"Okay, let's go."
