Anime: Desolate Darkness

After thinking for a moment, Goto Ichiri's flustered look made Chitanda Eru a little curious.

Out of concern for her classmate, Chitanda Eru patiently asked about the other party's situation and why he said such inexplicable words.

At first, Goto Ichiri was very resistant, thinking that this was a trap set by the squad leader to make him confess his crime in person.

But under the other party's gentle persuasion, she could not resist the beautiful girl's request and told her the whole story honestly.

After learning the details, Chitanda Eru was stunned.

As a young lady, she was taken by her family to make friends with all kinds of people since she was young, and developed good social skills. So it is hard to understand that Goto Ichiri, a social phobic patient, can't even speak normally.

But as the class monitor, he certainly couldn't allow his classmate to fall into such a state and hide under the stairs.

Even if the other party is willing, it will damage the class image if others see it.

It is reasonable for Chitanda Eru to help the other party.

"Goto-san, can I take you somewhere else? To be honest, this place is quite crowded. It would be bad if you get harassed by strangers again."

Without waiting for Goto Ichiri to reply, Chitanda Eru chuckled, took the other's right hand, and strolled among the passing crowd.

"Eh?"

Coming back to his senses, Goto Ichiri stared blankly at the two little hands holding together.

She could feel that, unlike her own hands which were slightly rough and calloused from long-term guitar practice, the other person's palms were very soft, and just holding them made her feel very comfortable.

She raised her eyes and noticed that Chitanda Eru would turn her head from time to time to observe her situation, and when their eyes met, she would give her a gentle smile, as if to soothe her emotions.

"Isn't it possible that the monitor is... an angel?"

This idea took root in Goto Ichiri's mind.

But in reality, she had already unconsciously revealed a strange "giggle" laugh.

……

A moment later, the two came to the teacher's office, in front of Kimura Takumi.

Chitanda Eru stood in front and explained the situation to Kimura Takumi, hoping that the other party could give some advice on where Goto Ichiri could hide.

As for helping Goto Ichiri get rid of his social phobia, Chitanda Eru knew that she was simply unable to do that with her own abilities.

"Wuwuwu~! The monitor is a devil!"

Goto Ichiri stood behind Chitanda Eru, with his head down and his hands clasped together and hanging below him. He looked like a child who had done something wrong and was afraid of being punished.

Bringing her in front of a man like Kimura Takumi, who is super popular just by his looks, and discussing her affairs with him, the harm to her is no different from public execution!

On the other hand, Kimura Takumi was able to deal with it easily.

"If that's the case, then you can take Goto-san to the Science Department in the middle of the third floor of the Special Building.

That is the club that Futaba, a classmate of yours, has just established. It is a good opportunity for you to go and help them organize the experimental equipment that the school has just distributed.

After you finish cleaning, Goto-san can just stay there. There's a lot of space inside, and Futaba-san is the only one there, and she doesn't like to talk."

"Won't this disturb Futaba-san's experiment?"

"Don't worry, I trust Goto-san."

Kimura Takumi knew very well that with Goto Ichiri's personality, she would not dare to make a sound, let alone disturb her, when she arrived at the Science Department.

Hearing this, Chitanda Eru looked at Goto Ichiri behind her, who nodded quickly without even thinking.

For Goto Ichiri, although it was difficult to be alone in a room with a strange female classmate in the class, she didn't want to stay there even more!

Besides, since the place has just been built and is still in the packing stage, there must be a lot of large boxes for things. I can hide in them and shrink into a corner by then and not affect Futaba-san.

After settling the two people, Kimura Takumi left the office with nothing to do, planning to go to the atrium to see if there were any strange clubs.

Passing by the corridor connecting the teaching building and the special building, and seeing the bustling crowd in the atrium below through the window, Kimura Takumi couldn't help but back off.

With so many people, it's inevitable that it's uncomfortable to be squeezed like this.

If you think about it from a different perspective, those are student clubs recruiting new members, and as a teacher he doesn't have to patronize them.

Just as he was thinking about going back to the office to play with his mobile phone, someone called him from not far away.

"Mr. Kimura!"

A naughty female voice sounded, followed by the sound of hurried footsteps.

Turning his head, looking at Kitagawa and Umi, a group of four, jogging towards him from the direction of the special building, Kimura Takumi was the first to greet them: "It's you, good afternoon."

Upon hearing this, the four of them quickly responded with words like "Good afternoon".

Seeing four people surrounding him, Kimura Qiao looked puzzled: "What's the matter?"

"Hey, teacher, why did you choose this industry?"

Kitagawa Umi spoke on behalf of everyone else and asked the question that the four of them had been discussing for a long time.

Takumi Kimura, 21 years old, graduated from the University of Tokyo. He is tall and has outstanding looks.

This is the information they have so far.

But with such generous conditions, you can be successful anywhere, why do you have to stay in a school and be a teacher?

"It's just my interest."

Kimura Takumi answered without thinking.

He has no shortage of money, and he has no great achievements to achieve.

The only problem now is the future mentioned by the guy in the dream.

But after so much time, there is still no crisis in the world, not even a hint of supernatural phenomena.

In that case, why not visit this impressive school while there is still time?

Not knowing what Kimura Takumi was thinking, the four people who got the answer were stunned for a moment.

"So casual!"

They wanted to complain, but the other party was a teacher after all, so they didn't dare to say it out loud.

Seeing the four people were silent, Kimura Takumi continued, "By the way, I saw you were coming from the special building. Were you visiting the club just now?"

When they heard this question, they immediately became interested and began to describe what interesting clubs they had just encountered.

For example, the art department has a very cute and beautiful girl with twin ponytails who has excellent painting skills...

But when Kimura Takumi asked everyone if they had joined any club, they immediately denied it.

According to them, these clubs are just for fun. If they join, they will waste too much time. They also want to hang out together after school every day.

Kimura Takumi was not surprised by this result. After all, the original work was like this. The Kitagawa and Umi group of three often went shopping, amusement parks, or KTV to sing after school.

Later, the four girls asked Kimura Takumi about his college life, whether he was free, what the environment was like, and whether his study progress was rushed...

Before I knew it, nearly half an hour had passed.

While they were still happily chatting, Dakong took out his phone and took a look, and found that it was already 14:52, and there was less than half an hour left before school was over. (School was over at 15:20)

"Well, it's almost time."

She reminded her companions.

Upon hearing this, Kitagawa Umi hurriedly took out her cell phone to check and exclaimed: "Is it almost three o'clock?!" She didn't expect that we had been chatting for so long.

"Teacher, we have something else to do. We have to leave first. Let's talk next time!"

While visiting the club, Kitagawa Umi and others received a piece of news.

That is, after school, the school's basketball team will have a friendly match with a team from another school. It's such an interesting thing, but if you don't get there early, you won't have a good seat to watch it.

Kimura Takumi didn't understand the reason, but didn't ask any questions. He simply waved goodbye to the other party.

Looking at the backs of the four people leaving with laughter, he couldn't help but sigh that the high school life here was really happy compared to his own experience.

……

Many light years away from the planet where Kimura Takumi is, in the vast universe, in a void and ethereal place, two figures sit opposite each other, one black and one white.

There is a chessboard in front of them, but the chess pieces beside them are ferocious monsters...

"It's almost time, let's start the game."

The shadow spoke first.

As it spoke, it dropped three monster chess pieces onto the chessboard.
