Anime: Desolate Darkness

The door of the police station.

Three figures stood there.

"It's good to be brave and protect students, but you were too harsh. Don't do this again." An old police officer taught Kimura Takumi earnestly, "Fortunately, there is sufficient evidence this time, otherwise you will be blamed."

This was the first time he had seen a male high-level player being exposed. Just looking at that scene made him feel weak in the knees. He couldn't help but sigh that young people nowadays are just hot-tempered and don't know how to control their strength.

"Yeah, I see." Kimura smiled and nodded repeatedly: "I will pay attention next time, don't worry."

He said this, but he didn't take the other person's words to heart. He only believed in his own judgment.

It was clear from the situation that the two yellow-haired guys were repeat offenders. He was just getting rid of them and confiscated their tools. It was not a big deal.

"That's good to know." The old police officer was very relieved to see the other party's sincere attitude. Then he looked at Futaba Rio next to Kimura Takumi and reminded her: "Little girl, you too, no matter how anxious you are, you shouldn't take a shortcut through the alley. How dangerous is it to be alone?"

"If you hadn't been lucky this time and been caught by your teacher, can you imagine what would have happened to you in the end?"

Hearing this, Futaba Rio imagined the consequences for a moment and couldn't help but shudder: "I know I was wrong!"

……

After about ten minutes, the old policeman let the two people leave.

Walking side by side on the road, Kimura Takumi and Futaba Rio looked at each other at the same time.

Unexpectedly, before they could even look at each other for a second, Futaba turned her head away.

"Um...thank you...thank you." she whispered in a low voice.

Fortunately, Kimura Takumi has excellent hearing, otherwise he wouldn't have known that the other party had spoken.

"You're welcome. It's normal for a teacher to protect his students, isn't it?" Kimura Takumi chuckled. "Of course, even if you're not my student, I'll still help you if I see you."

After saying that, he noticed that the other person's short legs were struggling, so he slowed down his pace appropriately.

Seeing this, Futaba Rio blushed and thanked him again in a gentle voice.

"Futaba-san is going to go shopping next, right? Do you want me to accompany you?" Kimura Takumi suggested.

Because of taking statements at the police station and the medical examination by those two yellow-haired guys, a lot of time was wasted and it’s already late now.

"No need for that?" Futaba was tempted, but felt embarrassed to trouble the other party.

"Well, in that case, Futaba-san should be more careful," said Kimura Takumi righteously.

???

"Eh?"

Futaba stopped and looked at Kimura Takumi in shock.

This plot seems a bit wrong, doesn't it?

Shouldn't I have pushed back, but the teacher insisted on following, and in the end the two of them naturally walked together?

"What's wrong with Futaba-san?" Looking at the other person's dazed expression, Kimura Takumi tried hard to hold back her smile.

"No...it's okay." She had already clearly refused. Even though she was worried that a similar situation would happen in the future, she couldn't say anything like "I hope Kimura Takumi will follow me."

Seeing Futaba Rio with her head down and looking dazed and dejected, Kimura Takumi realized that he seemed to have gone too far.

The other person is not good at speaking, and yet you are trying to make fun of him?

After a while.

"Eh? Teacher, what are you doing?" Futaba was puzzled when she noticed that Kimura Takumi had caught up with her again.

"As a teacher, I'm still worried about my students walking around alone so late at night." Kimura Takumi said as a matter of course, looking straight ahead.

Seeing Kimura Takumi's profile with a faint smile, Futaba's beautiful eyes flashed, and her right hand subconsciously placed on her chest.

What's this?

Feeling her heart beating unusually, she felt dazed.

Kimura Takumi continued to look straight ahead, not noticing anything unusual about the other party.

At this moment, there were more and more pedestrians on the street, and the noise was endless. The two people walked side by side in silence, seeming a little out of place with the surrounding environment.

"Thank you, teacher..." After an unknown amount of time, Futaba murmured softly.

She herself didn't know how many times she had thanked him today.

With the help of Takumi Kimura, Futaba, who had originally planned to buy only some materials, bought four full bags this time.

Carrying a bunch of things and following behind Futaba Rio, Kimura Takumi felt like he was accompanying his girlfriend shopping. Even though the things were not heavy and even though he had plenty of energy, his body just felt inexplicably tired. Was this some kind of curse?

"Thank you so much, Mr. Kimura, for today!" When they arrived at the door of her house, Futaba Rio bowed and thanked her solemnly.

"It's nothing, just a piece of cake." Kimura Takumi shook his head.

After a simple farewell to each other, he left without looking back under the gaze of Futaba Rio.

But just two steps out of the other person's sight, his eyes suddenly became sharp and looked to his right.

Over there was the commercial district that the two had passed by an hour ago.

From a distance, Kimura Takumi heard the sound of whistles and some human screams.

At this time, several fighter jets roared past his head.

Seeing this, he had a bad feeling and no longer hesitated. He avoided places with surveillance cameras and ran into a nearby public toilet.

After a flash of black light, Kimura Takumi transformed into Mephisto. Only then did he clearly sense the presence of three powerful energy bodies in the commercial district.

……

"Run away!!!"

"Are you kidding me? Why do I have to encounter such a thing?!"

"Don't block me, old man!"

...

The streets of the commercial district were filled with people fleeing in panic, their noise almost drowning out the alarms that were sounded on the roadside.

In the opposite direction they were fleeing, there were three giant monsters that looked extremely similar.

Their bodies are black and white, with black heads, abdomens and backs. There are white spots on the back of the carapace, which is similar to that of a longhorn beetle. Their heads have silver-gray horns similar to those of a bull. The insides of their arms and legs are white, and the white part has a structure like a snake's belly.

They are Jetton, second generation Jetton, and EX Jetton!

What's strange is that the three Jettons just stood side by side in the center of the commercial district without moving. They neither attacked the humans below, nor did they attack the "Monster Special Forces" fighter jets and missiles. They just symbolically opened a barrier to block it.

Bang bang bang bang! Boom~! …

All attacks were blocked. As the captain of the "Monster Forces", Ikeda was almost furious!

"Damn it! Everyone, stop attacking for now! Let's see what they are going to do." Ikeda had no choice but to stop his team members' attack.

In this situation, if they wasted firepower indiscriminately, they might have to return home to replenish their ammunition before the other side launched an offensive.

You know, when they received the information that three more monsters appeared at the same time, the entire team was ordered to attack.

The 9 fighter jets present now are the only air combat forces. As for the tanks and armored vehicles, they are still on the way.

"Captain! The giant has appeared!" Just as Ikeda was thinking about how to deal with the next battle, an excited voice came from the communicator next to his ear.

"Is that so? Everyone scatter!" Ikeda turned around and caught sight of the giant in red, black and silver.

With his order, all the fighter planes flew away quickly in all directions.

Current technology cannot be said to be very advanced, but there are quite a few surveillance cameras.

The higher-ups have already investigated what happened yesterday and early this morning.

By comparing the surveillance footage, they recognized that the humanoid monster that broke into the Metropolitan Police Department was the same in appearance as the giant that appeared half a month ago.

They deduced that the two were most likely from the same camp, or even the same entity.

To their surprise, the other party broke into the Metropolitan Police Department without causing any casualties. They simply used the surveillance center to search for and chase the "female ghost in white" that was causing headaches for the higher-ups.

Unfortunately, since no one witnessed the battle between Mephisto and the Atlanteans in the mountains, the people on the upper floors only saw Mephisto knocking the Atlanteans away in the apartment corridor, making it impossible to determine whether the opponent had been eliminated.

But it is undeniable that Mephistopheles saved the woman at that time.

Since the benefits brought by Mephistopheles every time he appears are obvious to all, the voices of the upper class are now divided into two factions.

The radicals subjectively believed that the other party had bad intentions, and the monster at the beginning might have been brought by the other party. As for the "female ghost in white", they were hostile, so they went to great lengths to find the other party.

The conservatives thought that perhaps they could try to communicate with them. After all, based on what happened at the Metropolitan Police Department at the time, it was certain that the other party could communicate normally.

The direct superiors of the "Monster Force" are conservative people. The decision they got was that the next time the other party appeared, they should not have any conflict with them, but make plans based on the other party's next move, whether to attack or try to communicate.

What no one expected was that, although the plan was only discussed in the afternoon, they met the other party that evening, at such a critical juncture.

Mephisto, incarnated by Kimura Takumi, was suspended in the sky, looking down at the three-headed Jetton below. He seemed calm on the surface, but he was actually worried inside.

The reason for his irritability was not only because of the three Jettons, but more importantly, he sensed that behind the second-generation Jetton in the middle, there was a more terrifying aura hidden.

Even if the opponent had restrained himself very well, Mephisto could still catch him at such a close distance.

Looking up at Mephisto through Zetton's eyes, the hidden shadow said lightly: "You can't even be called Ultraman, just a defective product?"
