Anime: Desolate Darkness

After being scolded by Kimura Takumi, Nanamiya Chie lowered her head and didn't dare to look at the other person directly.

"Senior... I..." Although she recognized the reality and knew that her sadness at the moment was worthless, the sudden blow was too severe and it was difficult to accept it for a while...

Seeing this, Kimura Takumi didn't say anything more. Instead, he suggested that the other party stay in the training room and work hard on his own, then turned and walked out of the basement.

After leaving the house, according to the location mentioned by Nanamiya Tomoon, Kimura Takumi drove to the street where the breakfast shop was located.

He first observed at the door of the breakfast shop, then looked at the entire street, and then shifted his target to the intersection where the car accident scene occurred.

Here, the crowd of onlookers had already dispersed as the body was taken away, leaving only a bloodstain on the ground that had not yet been cleaned up.

After driving the car to the side of the road and parking it, Kimura Takumi opened the door and walked out. He glanced at the bloodstains not far away, then turned his head and scanned the surrounding environment.

He found something strange: there were no surveillance cameras around the breakfast shop or the location of the car accident.

Is it a coincidence?

That night, Kimura Takumi repeated his old trick and appeared at the local Metropolitan Police Department in the guise of Mephistopheles, and had someone take him to the monitoring room.

He came here to try his luck.

It’s good that there are no surveillance cameras near the breakfast shop, but what if the range is expanded a little bit?

As long as we check all the surveillance cameras on all sides of the street where the breakfast shop is located, we might be able to find some clues about the other party.

After entering the monitoring center room, Kimura Takumi noticed that the equipment inside was almost the same as that at the Shibuya Metropolitan Police Department, so he didn't keep anyone back and knocked everyone out with a wave of his hand.

After all, with the last experience, he already knew how to operate the monitoring equipment.

After blowing up the cameras inside and throwing out all the unconscious people, he immediately launched an investigation.

He quickly tapped the keyboard on the console with both hands, and the desired surveillance records were quickly retrieved.

It is footage from all public cameras around the breakfast shop, and the time starts at 5 a.m. this morning.

After adjusting the speed to the highest 32 times, less than five minutes later, he captured a middle-aged man on a street surveillance camera who looked just like what Nanamiya Chie had described, wearing a black suit, a blue tie, brown leather boots, and had a kind face.

I didn't expect that I would find it so easily. Kimura Takumi couldn't help but laugh inwardly.

In order to prevent any mistakes, he took a photo and sent it to Nanamiya Chion for confirmation.

The result was just as he expected, it was that person.

After getting the exact answer, he followed the surveillance footage to see where the middle-aged man would end up.

Unexpectedly, at 8:37, the other party hailed a taxi on the roadside and left the area directly, which was beyond the scope of the monitoring center's investigation.

so what?

"Where can you run to?"

Kimura Takumi is determined to win.

Although we cannot find the other party directly through the surveillance, now we have a clear picture of the other party's face. As long as we spend a little money, we can find out the other party's true identity in no time.

……

The next morning, Kimura Takumi brought the developed photos and went alone to the company building of Chiba's largest gang, the Yamada Group.

In the team leader's office, the dignified Yamada Tomonobu, who was over fifty years old, looked at the young man who had just sat down on the sofa opposite him and asked first, "I heard that you have a big business to discuss with me?"

Kimura Takumi leaned back on the sofa, crossed his legs, put his left hand on the back of the sofa, stretched out his right hand towards the other party, and chuckled: "That depends on how you offer."

His arrogant attitude annoyed several tall gangsters in black suits who were standing behind Yamada Tomonobu's sofa.

They exchanged glances that suggested that the young man should be taught a lesson.

However, Yamada Tomonobu waved them to be quiet.

He knew that since Kimura Takumi dared to come here alone and even looked fearless, he must have come prepared and should not be offended easily.

Yamada Tomonobu said bluntly: "Tell me, what are you going to do?"

Kimura Takumi did not hesitate and directly took out the photo of the middle-aged man and threw it on the table between the two of them.

"Help me find someone. He was here yesterday."

It's just looking for someone. Even if you ask for a lot, how much can you earn? What kind of big business is this?

"Are you kidding? Do you think this is a detective agency?" Yamada Tomonobu didn't even look at the photo. He tapped the table twice with his fingers, making a "bang bang!" sound, and asked coldly.

At this time, as if receiving an order, several gang members behind him, the two tallest among them, moved and came behind Kimura Takumi.

Obviously, if Kimura Takumi's next words cannot satisfy the other party, the matter will not be resolved amicably.

Although I am not afraid of the other party, I am here to entrust someone with a task after all, so there is no need to make things too awkward.

He didn't want to see some explosive news the next day about "Teachers from Sobu High School were in and out of the Yamada Group seven times."

"I'll offer this amount." Kimura Takumi raised his index finger.

"One million?" Yamada Tomonobu asked in confusion.

Kimura Takumi said nothing, but smiled and nodded.

"One million is indeed a lot if you're just looking for one person, but it can't be considered a big deal." Yamada Tomonobu's tone was still cold.

As soon as the other party arrived at the front desk, he asked for me by name, but the only thing he wanted to talk about was one million. If this got out, wouldn't I be laughed at by my peers?

After all, we are the biggest gang in Chiba. How can we just lose face like that?!

"What if the unit is Eagle Pound?" Kimura Takumi said calmly, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a playful smile.

"What?!" Yamada Tomonobu's eyes widened instantly.

One million Eagle Pounds, that's equivalent to hundreds of millions of Sakura Coins!

The other party spent so much money just to find a person? Or a person who visited here yesterday?

Finding it incredible, he quickly picked up the photo on the table and looked at it carefully.

Looking at the amiable middle-aged man in the photo, he couldn't help but wonder:

"Could this be your long lost father?"

Apart from this answer, he couldn't think of any other identity that was worthy of the other party doing this.

"..."

The smile on Kimura Takumi's face froze. He didn't expect the other party to ask this question. He said speechlessly, "You think too much."

……

Not long after, after providing the middle-aged man with yesterday's itinerary information, leaving his contact information and half of the remuneration as a deposit, Kimura Takumi got up and prepared to leave.

Surprisingly, when he left, Yamada Tomonobu and his men in suits personally saw him off.

After arriving downstairs and driving away, he saw through the rearview mirror the group of gang members waving goodbye to him with smiles on their faces. Kimura Takumi sighed and said, "Money really makes the world go round."

After sending away Kimura Takumi, the Yamada Group quickly took action and sent a large number of people to search for information about the middle-aged man.

......

A quarter of an hour later, Takumi Kimura returned to the house and brought Matsuzaka Sato to the [Other Dimension Forest] of Hilbagun again.

It must be said that there is no better place than here to teach someone about adaptability.

The distance is short, so there is no need to run out of the planet. The key point is that under normal circumstances no one can come in here, so you can use your abilities without restraint.

"What should I do now?"

Matsuzaka Sato looked at Kimura Takumi in front of her with curiosity.

"Feel the flow of energy in your body, and try to visualize it, like this." Kimura Takumi raised his right hand and extended his index finger, and a small ball formed by the gathering of dark energy appeared above it.

Matsuzaka Sato's eyes sparkled as she looked at the scene in amazement, "How amazing!"

As she spoke, she clapped excitedly.

Kimura Takumi's face was calm, and he waved his hand to disperse the black ball, "Stop messing around, try it now."

Upon hearing this, Matsuzaka Sato immediately became serious.

Can't let Qiao down!

She learned it in the same way, raised her right hand and extended her index finger, activating the energy in her body.

Soon, some darkness emerged at the tip of her index finger.

But after all, it was her first attempt, and she couldn't control it as freely as Kimura Takumi could. The darkness did not gather into a small ball, but an irregular shape.

How could this be?

Not willing to accept this, she fixed her eyes and tried hard to control the combination of energy, sweat appeared on her forehead.

But no matter how she adjusted, she could not achieve the same effect as Kimura Takumi, and she became more and more anxious, and the appearance of Faust was looming on her face.

"Okay, that's it." Kimura Takumi spoke up to stop the other party from continuing.

"Eh?" Matsuzaka Sato was stunned, and the dark energy on the tip of her index finger dissipated accidentally, "But, I haven't succeeded yet..."

I didn't quite get the request...

She lowered her head, feeling very lost.

Seeing this, Kimura Takumi raised his right hand and rubbed her head, comforting her softly, "It's okay, after all, it's your first attempt, you just need to try a few more times, there's no need to be too anxious."

“Once your mind is in a mess, it becomes more difficult to achieve your goals.”

She didn't hear a word that Kimura Takumi said, her mind was completely focused on the other person's actions at the moment.

Coincidentally... you are touching me!

The expression on her face gradually became strange, and her smile was sickly and creepy.

No matter how amazing Kimura Takumi's observation skills are, he cannot capture this scene from the top perspective.

In the following time, under the guidance of Kimura Takumi, Matsuzaka Sato gradually adapted to some abilities and learned how to release skills in the Dark Faust state.

If you ask her why she can learn so quickly, we can only say that Takumi Kimura had a huge influence on her.

When she thought that the other person would treat her kindly even if she didn't do well, she kept imagining what the other person would do after she did everything well.

With this mentality, how could she not concentrate!

......

Unconsciously, more than six hours had passed. Knowing that the most important thing was to combine work and rest, Kimura Takumi did not continue teaching.

He called out to Matsuzaka Sato who was using her power to attack the falling leaves in the air in the distance, "Sugar! It's time to go back!"

Hearing this, Matsuzaka Sato ran over without any reluctance.

Although using supernatural powers is interesting, compared to those, Takumi Kimura is more important!

"Coincidentally! Take me to the amusement park, okay?"

Thinking that she had to go to school tomorrow, Matsuzaka Sato didn't want to waste her weekend, so she started to act coquettishly, grabbing Kimura Takumi's right arm with both hands and shaking it gently.

"Aren't you tired after training for so long? Are you still planning to go out and have fun?" Kimura Takumi asked puzzledly.

"Not tired! Not tired at all! As long as I'm with Qiao, I won't feel tired doing anything!" Matsuzaka Sato was extremely serious.

Kimura Takumi originally didn't intend to agree, but after the other party's soft and hard persuasion, he finally compromised, but only agreed to play with the other party for two hours.

Matsuzaka Sato doesn't mind this at all. As long as she doesn't refuse, it's a good thing!

In a blink of an eye, driven by Kimura Takumi, the two arrived at the largest amusement park in Chiba.

As soon as they got off the car, Matsuzaka Sato was like a child, excitedly pulling Kimura Takumi to play various activities.

Roller coaster, pendulum, pirate ship...

During this period, the smile on Matsuzaka Sato's face never stopped, and even became brighter.

Soon, the two arrived at one of the most important parts of this amusement park trip, the haunted house!

Of course, this so-called importance only applies to Matsuzaka Sato.

In the dark and gloomy environment, Matsuzaka Sato achieved her goal. She hugged Kimura Takumi's arm tightly on the pretext of fear.

That’s not enough. When she is frightened by some props or staff members dressed as ghosts, she pretends to be frightened and hugs herself to Kimura Takumi’s body!

If he hadn't clearly seen the unrestrained smile on her face, Kimura Takumi might have really been fooled by her acting skills.

However, even after discovering it, Kimura Takumi did not stop it.

This little contact is nothing, just consider it as a reward for the other party's efforts today.

It should have taken only 10 minutes to walk through the haunted house, but with Matsuzaka Sato pulling them along, the two of them ended up walking for 20 minutes.

Earn it!

After leaving the haunted house, the two came to a table next to a drink shop and sat down.

"Qiao, wait a moment, I'll go buy some drinks." Matsuzaka Sato just sat down and stood up again.

"Okay, bring me a glass of juice." Kimura Takumi had no intention of following.

This actually suits Matsuzaka Sato's wishes!

"Okay!" She skipped towards the mobile food truck.

Not long after, she brought back a large glass of luxurious watermelon juice.

Kimura Takumi was a little confused, "Why is there only one cup? Where's yours?"

Matsuzaka Sato didn't say anything, but just pointed inside the juice. Only then did Kimura Takumi notice that there were two straws.

"You don't want me to drink with you?" he asked tentatively.

Matsuzaka Sato widened her eyes and nodded excitedly.

Just as Kimura Takumi was about to refuse, Matsuzaka Sato was the first to show a pleading look.

Kimura Takumi sighed, "Only this time."

Matsuzaka Sato nodded vigorously again!

But when both of them bit the straws at the same time, Kimura Takumi noticed that the taste was a little strange.

He turned his gaze towards Matsuzaka Sato opposite him, only to see her staring at him with a smile on her face while biting a straw.

!

Realizing that something was wrong, he quickly opened his mouth and took out the straw.

Sure enough, there was a problem with the straw!

There are not two straws, but only one, which has been folded by the other.

In other words... what Kimura Takumi just drank was... Matsuzaka Sando's imported watermelon juice? !

He frowned and glared at Matsuzaka Sato, who touched the back of his head in embarrassment and stuck out his tongue in an attempt to get away with it, "Ah, I've been discovered..."

Kimura Takumi closed his eyes, and all his words turned into a sigh.

"Let's go back."

The tour, which was supposed to last half an hour, ended early. Instead of being disappointed, Matsuzaka Sato was extremely happy!

Today is Matsuzaka Sato's big victory!
