Anime: Desolate Darkness

Sobu High School, first year, Class D.

Ring ring ring~!

In the classroom, as soon as the school bell rang, most of the students rushed out.

The teacher at the podium was not surprised by this. He packed up his textbooks and left calmly.

"Ryuin, why are you so listless?"

Kitagawa Umi got up from her seat, walked up to Ryune and asked.

The other party had been lying on the table in a daze since the lunch break, which made her a little worried.

"Huh? Haimeng doesn't know?" Sugaya Noha, who also came over, looked surprised.

"She's been staring at her phone the whole time, it's strange she knows." Dakong complained mercilessly.

"Huh~?!" From what they said, it seemed that she was kept in the dark about Ryune's strange behavior, and Kitagawa Umi was shocked.

"What happened?" She grabbed Dakong's arm and shook him.

"It's nothing, actually. She just prepared a lunch box for Mr. Kimura today, but he wasn't there."

Before Daisora ​​could speak, Noha Sugaya, who was holding a lollipop in her mouth, answered.

"What?!" Kitagawa Kaimeng let go of Daisora ​​and grabbed Ryune's shoulders and shook her, "You didn't tell me such an important thing?!"

She was not satisfied with the thought of being excluded.

"Haimeng, you were playing with your phone during lunch break and you didn't even listen when I told you to." Dakong complained about this again.

"Is that so?" Kitagawa Umi stopped.

"That's right, it was you, Haimeng, who was the first to complain." Sugaya Noha nodded in affirmation.

It is true.

"Hey~" Kitagawa Umi knocked his head with his right hand and stuck out his tongue mischievously, trying to get away with it.

At this moment, listening to the three people talking about the bento in front of her, Liuyin's soul seemed to float out of her open little mouth.

"By the way, do you know where Mr. Kimura went?" Kitagawa Umi was curious. "I remember he came to the classroom that morning, right?"

"You have to ask the class monitor. She might know. She talked to the teacher this morning." Sugaya Noha reminded.

"Class monitor..." Kitagawa Umi was in a dilemma for a moment. It was time to go home from school and the other party might have already left the school, and she didn't have his contact information.

She did have Kimura Takumi's contact information, but she was too embarrassed to ask him directly.

"Oh, right!" She suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Sugaya Noha, "Noha, you have the monitor's contact information, right? Go ask him."

She remembered that the other party had given a talisman to the class monitor during a school trip, and the relationship between the two was currently pretty good.

Unexpectedly, Noha Sugaya raised her hand to reject her suggestion.

“Yes, there is, but I don’t think it’s necessary.”

"Ah? Why?" Kitagawa Umi didn't understand.

At this moment, a voice sounded without warning behind Kitagawa Umi.

"Kitagawa-san, are you looking for me?"

"Wow~!" Kitagawa Umi was startled and jumped onto Dakong!

"Good weight!"

Daisora ​​complained while hugging the other tightly.

When someone said she was heavy, Kitagawa Ume ignored the shock and immediately retorted: "Nonsense! I don't even weigh 100 pounds!"

"Even if you weigh 50 kilograms, I will still say you are heavy if you suddenly jump up like this!" Dakong glared at her unhappily and said speechlessly.

Hearing this, Kitagawa Umi's anger instantly disappeared, and she touched the back of her head and smiled foolishly in embarrassment.

"Um...can you guys pay attention to me for a moment?"

Seeing that they ignored her, Chitanda Eru raised her right hand to remind them.

"Sorry, sorry, I got scared accidentally." Kitagawa Umi reacted and quickly got off Ozora.

Now she was too lazy to care why the monitor suddenly appeared, and simply asked: "Hey, monitor, do you know where Mr. Kimura went? I think I saw him this morning."

As soon as this question was asked, not only Sugaya Noha and Oosora came over, but even Ryune who was lying on the table did not miss it and quietly pricked up her ears.

"Well..." Chitanda Eru herself was not sure, but still expressed her guess, "Mr. Kimura might have gone to visit Matsusaka-san."

The name Matsusaka Sato was familiar to everyone present. After all, she was very cute and her grades were among the best in the class.

They also knew that the other party had called in sick today, because Chitanda Eru wrote the other party's name and the reason for absence in the absence box on the blackboard before the first class.

But the question is, to visit a student, you don’t have to stay away from school for the whole day, right?

"Isn't that Mr. Kimura?"

Just as Kitagawa Umi and others were thinking, Chitanda Eru noticed Kimura Takumi passing by outside the corridor.

"what?!"

boom!

Ryune slammed the table and looked in the direction Chitanda Eru pointed, and found that it was true!

But just as she took a big step out of her seat, she pulled back and sat down again.

Liuyin was depressed. It was already afternoon and there was no way she could deliver the lunch boxes.

If I don't send a lunch box, what topic should I start a conversation with?

On the other side, Kimura Takumi arrived at the door of the first grade Class B classroom.

His appearance immediately attracted the attention of the students who remained in the classroom.

"Mr. Kimura is here to see Nanamiya-san again?"

"Do you even need to ask? Nanamiya is the only one in our class who is familiar with Mr. Kimura."

...

They started discussing it in a buzzing manner.

Kimura Takumi ignored him and immediately caught sight of the target of this trip, the pink-haired girl who was sleeping soundly on the table.

Boom!

Kimura Takumi walked to the seat of Nanamiya Chion and knocked on the table.

The perceptive Nanamiya Chione trembled and stood up suddenly!

"Who?!" As she spoke, her hands instinctively reached for the [Energy Blaster] in her pocket.

What greeted her was the collapse of Kimura Takumi's brain.

"Stunned!" Nanamiya Chione covered her forehead with both hands, tears welling up in her eyes.

At this time, Kimura Takumi's slightly angry voice sounded.

"You slept during class and didn't wake up until school was over?"

He sent a message to the other party at three o'clock, asking him to come to the parking lot as soon as possible after school.

Just because he was three minutes late, he concluded that something must have gone wrong, so he came over to check it out in person.

"Last night's anime show was so interesting that I was excited the whole night. That's why I didn't get a good rest..." After seeing who was coming, Nanamiya Chione pouted and said aggrievedly.

Kimura Takumi was speechless.

In a blink of an eye, the two of them walked to the parking lot.

"Senior, who exactly are you talking about as a training target?"

On the way, when she heard Kimura Takumi say that he had found a sparring partner for her today, Nanamiya Chion couldn't suppress her curiosity at all, because the sparring partner she was talking about was not a sparring partner in human form, but a transformed Ultraman form!

How could she not be excited?

"You'll know in a moment, right? Why are you in such a hurry?" Kimura Takumi complained.

"Senior, you just know how to keep me in suspense, how lame..." Nanamiya Chione murmured.

"I heard it clearly." Kimura Takumi turned his head and glanced at her helplessly.

"Ah? What are you talking about, senior? I don't know~" Nanamiya Chione played dumb on the spot, holding her neck with both hands, looking around, pretending to be busy and not to disturb her.
