Anime: Desolate Darkness

At around 8:30, a group of students from Sobu High School, accompanied by their teachers, arrived outside Sensoji Temple.

After the group leader teacher gave a few brief instructions, all the students dispersed and walked into Sensō-ji Temple.

After Kimura Takumi finished talking about the matter, he hung up the phone with the old man and followed him in.

After a minute's walk, he arrived at the Nakamise-dori shopping street.

This is one of the oldest commercial streets in Tokyo. It is about 250 meters long and has nearly a hundred shops in total.

All kinds of things are sold here, including food, clothes, amulets, electrical appliances, etc.

"Mr. Kimura! You're so slow!"

When she poked her head out of a jewelry store, she spotted the outstanding figure of the crowd, Takumi Kimura. She quickly waved at him and called out.

While taking in the surrounding scene, Kimura Takumi walked towards Ryune.

"Do you believe this?"

When he came in front of Ryune, he caught a glimpse of Kitagawa, Umi and the other two who were selecting amulets in the store, and he was puzzled.

"Mr. Kimura, please come in quickly. I'll help you choose one!"

Liuyin didn't answer, but forcefully pulled his hand inside.

You know, Kimura Takumi is now haunted by a vengeful ghost.

Knowing this, Liuyin was very worried.

After a while.

"It doesn't need to be so much, right?"

Looking at the Buddhist beads, amulets, jade pendants, Buddha statues and other items in the other party's hands, Kimura Takumi's eyes twitched.

Not only are these things expensive, but whether they work is also a question.

"How can that be possible?! Teacher, you are in a very dangerous situation now! How can you protect yourself if you don't wear more clothes?"

As Ryūin spoke, she compared the accessories one by one on Kimura Takumi to see if they were suitable.

Kimura Takumi sighed and let the other party do whatever he wanted.

after awhile.

"Eh? Ryuin, are you guys still not well?"

After choosing the amulets they liked, Kitagawa, Umi and the other two paid the bill and came to Kimura Takumi.

At this moment, he was wearing three strings of Buddhist beads of different styles on his right hand, a lotus-scented amulet around his neck, and a small Buddha jade pendant.

"Not yet. I'll see if there's anything else."

After putting another amulet around Kimura Takumi's neck, Ryune turned around and continued looking for other items that could ward off evil spirits.

"That's about it, right? No need to go to so much trouble."

Kimura Takumi persuaded.

"How can that be possible?!"

"Teacher, you really don't take your own safety seriously, do you?!"

"That's right! You've encountered a ghost!"

Without waiting for Ryune to refute, Kitagawa, Kaimeng and the other two started to talk earnestly.

Describe to him how serious it is to encounter a ghost!

The scene changed, and it was time to pay the bill. Liuyin was dumbfounded when she saw the five-digit bill on the boss's computer.

"Oops! I don't think I brought enough money..."

She didn't expect these things to be so expensive. She was a little distressed because all the money she had was only enough to pay two-thirds of the cost.

Noticing their friend's situation, Kitagawa and the others came forward to support them.

"Ryune, look, I have money." Kitagawa Umi smiled and handed over a five-thousand-dollar bill.

"Is that enough? If not, I have some here." Sugaya Noha also handed over a banknote of the same denomination.

Dakong was not willing to be outdone and took out a ten thousand dollar note.

"How can this be so embarrassing? I bought this for the teacher, how can I ask you to pay for it?"

"It doesn't matter, even if it's borrowed."

...

While they were still arguing, Takumi Kimura had already successfully paid the bill himself.

"Thank you for coming!"

The boss's respectful voice sounded, attracting the attention of the four women over there.

"Teacher! What are you doing?!"

Ryune asked angrily.

"Pay the bill, what's the matter?" replied Kimura Takumi.

Isn't it common sense that you should pay for your own things?

"That's what I'm asking! Why are you paying? It should be me who pays! I chose the things, right?!" Liuyin continued to ask.

I finally had the chance to give the other person something in a legitimate way, but it was gone just like that?!

She is not reconciled!

"Okay, okay, don't worry about it. Let's go somewhere else."

Kimura Takumi didn't want to argue with the other party. There were too many people here and it would have a bad influence.

Seeing him turn around and leave, Liuyin followed him angrily.

"I don't care. Next time I help the teacher choose something, you must make me pay for it!" she said sternly.

"Yes, yes, I understand. We'll talk about it next time."

Kimura Takumi did a perfunctory job.

"I am serious!"

"I'm not kidding either."

The two of them left arguing, seemingly forgetting that there were three other companions in the store.

"So... have we been abandoned?" Sugaya Noha said in a daze.

"It seems... yes." Dakong nodded.

"By the way, should we still follow them?" Kitagawa Umi asked in confusion.

They are not fools, they can see through Liuyin's thoughts even with their eyes closed.

Now that the other party has finally got the chance to be alone with Kimura Takumi, it seems not good to disturb him.

"How about we go find the class monitor to play? I happened to pick out a talisman for her." Sugaya Noha's idea was similar to Kitagawa Umi's. Both didn't want to ruin their good friend's good fortune.

"Yeah, sure, let's go!" Kitagawa Haimeng thought about it and thought it was okay, so he immediately pulled up Dakong who was still in a daze beside him and said, "Let's go, what are you still looking at?"

……

Kimura Takumi and Ryune walked side by side.

The sunlight lengthened their shadows, casting them on the ground like a beautiful painting.

Ryune played with his hands behind his back, his eyes were blurred and his gaze was wandering, sometimes looking at the stall next to him, sometimes at the floor, and sometimes at Kimura Takumi's handsome profile.

So handsome!

Her heart was beating fast and her face flushed unconsciously, like clouds in the sunset.

She enjoyed the time they were alone together so much that she wished time could stop at this moment.

But the other party obviously didn't have this idea.

"Did they not catch up?"

Kimura Takumi suddenly stopped, turned around and looked in the direction they were coming from and asked.

"Eh? It seems... yes."

Liuyin's body trembled, and a sense of loss inexplicably surged in his heart.

"Forget it, let's ignore them and go get a lottery ticket, shall we?"

Looking at the main hall not far away, based on the principle that since he was already here, Kimura Takumi decided to go in and take a look.

After hearing his words, a bright light flashed in Ryūin's dull pupils.

"Ok!"

She said excitedly with a smile on her face.

……

There are quite a lot of rules in Sensoji Temple.

Before entering the main hall, everyone needs to wash their hands and rinse their mouth to show respect for the worshippers inside.

Fortunately, it was still early, and when we entered the main hall, we didn't see too many people, so there was no need to worry about crowds.

"Mr. Kimura, who among us will go first?"

The two of them walked to the fortune-telling tube, and Liuyin asked.

"I'll go first."

Kimura Takumi was too lazy to refuse.

He took out a hundred-dollar coin and threw it into the cash box, then picked up the fortune-telling tube on the cash box and shook it.

19 number.

Looking at the number on the lottery ticket, he walked to the cabinet nearby, opened the cabinet No. 19, and took out the top piece of paper inside.

【lucky】

"Wow! The teacher is lucky."

Coming closer and seeing the good results achieved by Kimura Takumi, Ryune was happy for him from the bottom of her heart.

"well enough."

Kimura Takumi chuckled.

Although it is not the best [good luck], it is better than [bad luck].

Next, Ryūin performed the same operation as Kimura Takumi.

Put in the money, shake the lottery tube, and go to the cabinet to get your own result according to the number you get.

[Daikichi]

"Teacher, look! I won!"

Ryune couldn't hide her inner joy. She grabbed the paper with both hands and handed the result to Kimura Takumi.

"How is it?! Isn't it amazing?!"

Seeing her look that said, "Praise me now!", Kimura Takumi couldn't help but laugh.

"Yeah, Ryune-san is great."

"Hehe~"

After receiving the praise she wanted, Liuyin lowered her head with a red face and touched the back of her head embarrassedly.
