Anime: Desolate Darkness

(Brain storage.)

In a city, there were dilapidated streets, long-destroyed buildings, smoke everywhere, and a mess.

The culprit behind all this is the giant monster that appears all around.

Under the monster's powerful attack, people fled in all directions, wailing and wailing never stopped.

What else could they do except run away?

Resist? And with what?

Guns? Planes? Tanks? Atom bombs?

Tried everything, but nothing changed...

So where should people escape to?

They didn't know either, but the will to survive reflected in their minds urged their bodies to keep moving forward.

But is the end of progress hope?

What this city reveals is the current state of the world!

The same drama is being played out all over the world, and no country can remain immune.

Kimura Takumi stood on the side of the road with a calm expression, as if he was waiting for the green light on the opposite side that would never come on again.

Missiles whizzed past his head and exploded into the monster in the distance. People fled from him, but were ruthlessly crushed by a huge black foot.

Kimura Takumi remained standing there, without moving at all, and his expression did not change, as if he did not belong here at all.

At this time, a familiar voice sounded from behind him, and it was unclear whether it was a man or a woman:

"Well, what do you think is the future of mankind?"

Without turning around or looking back, Kimura Takumi replied calmly: "I don't care, as long as I'm still alive."

Having received this answer, which had never changed for who knows how many times, the figure behind him raised the corners of his mouth slightly, smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Well, see you next time." Kimura Takumi turned around and waved to the other party as usual.

And in his eyes, the person behind him was wrapped in a ball of white light.

"Well, see you next time."

……

In reality, after receiving the final response, Kimura Takumi, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

"Has another month passed?"

he muttered.

He was in a dream state just now. Although everything in it was clear and real, it was undeniable that it was a dream.

This dream has appeared once a month since he came into this world three years ago.

At first, when he first encountered this dream, he was almost deceived by the physical reality and thought he was surrounded by monsters.

But later, he discovered that no matter whether they were humans or monsters, they would pass through him, and he was like a ghost inside.

As time went on, he easily found the pattern.

That dream, which came one month apart, would always take me to different places, where I would watch different humans being killed by different monsters.

Just when you are about to wake up, a guy emitting dazzling light will appear inexplicably and ask you those boring questions.

After getting out of bed and washing up in the bathroom, Kimura Takumi returned to his room and put on the suit he had prepared.

Today is my first day at work after coming into this world, and my job is to be a high school teacher.

The person who took him in specially customized this pure black suit for him so that he could leave a good first impression on the students.

But for Kimura Takumi, who already has an outstanding appearance, this suit is just the icing on the cake.

After putting on the matching leather shoes, Kimura Takumi stood in front of the mirror and adjusted his tie.

The person inside has a tall and straight figure, an angular face, and clear contours, which makes him look very imposing.

His jet-black hair was relatively long for a man, and his bangs were longer than his eyebrows but did not cover his eyes. His dark pupils seemed to be connected to the abyss, swallowing up all the light.

"Just so-so."

After adjusting his tie, Takumi Kimura gave himself a humble evaluation.

He patted his face, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and put on a faint smile, no longer having the aloof look he had at the beginning.

After walking out of the room and leaving the second floor, Kimura Takumi came to the dining table on the first floor. There was already someone sitting there waiting for a long time.

The other person had a serious expression, his hands folded across his chest, he sat upright, and looked at Kimura Takumi with sharp eyes, with an intimidating presence without even getting angry.

It was he who took in Takumi Kimura, an old man who was nearly 60 years old but still full of energy, and Ryunosuke Ichisuke.

As for why it is said to be sheltering, it is because Kimura Takumi is not a transmigrating soul.

In his previous life, he had just turned 18 and had just finished his boring high school life. Relying on an unprecedented full score in the college entrance examination, he easily received an invitation from a foreign science and technology university.

Just when he was thinking that it didn't matter where he wasted his time, so he decided to go outside for a look, the plane he was on crashed.

Even though he was born with talents that others could only dream of, he was powerless when faced with such an emergency.

The plane crashed into the sea, but he survived. He drifted for an unknown amount of time before he was finally found on a beach by Ryunosuke Ichisuke.

After waking up, he learned about the different worldview and met familiar anime characters, and then Kimura Takumi confirmed that he had traveled through time.

"Yeah! Not bad, a third of what I was like when I was young." The majestic temperament was broken the moment Ryunosuke Ichisuke opened his mouth. He touched the back of his head with his right hand and commented with a silly smile.

People who are not familiar with him might be frightened by the aura he puts on at first.

"Fortunately it's only three points. If it was more than seven points, I don't know how to live." After receiving the evaluation, Kimura Takumi sat down calmly and started to eat breakfast.

"Hiss~! How can you talk like that, kid?"

Although he knew that the other party was joking, these words still made Ryunosuke Ichisuke a little angry.

"Isn't it? If you were three times as good as I am now when you were young, you wouldn't be alone now."

After three years of getting along, the two have a very good relationship, and daily quarrels are inevitable.

"It's not about looks, it's mainly about..."

"Okay, I know, you've said this a hundred times."

Kimura Takumi interrupted Ryunosuke Ichisuke who was about to give a long speech, picked up the bowl of porridge, put it to his mouth, blew on it, and then drank it all in one gulp.

He had heard so many stories about Ryunosuke and Ichisuke that his ears were almost callused.

To put it simply, when he was young, he wanted to build a career before starting a family, but when he really achieved success in his career, the person he liked had already become a wife.

Only then did he notice that he was no longer young. He was in his thirties and approaching forty, and he no longer had the ability to feel a sudden surge of emotion towards anyone.

Later, he sold the company and became a professor at the University of Tokyo.

Later, three years ago, he resigned and returned to his hometown in Chiba, where he opened a coffee shop. The business hours depended entirely on his mood, after all, he was not short of money.

It was at that time that Ryunosuke Ichisuke, who had just returned, found Kimura Takumi on the beach of Onjuku Town, a boy who claimed to have lost his memory after waking up.

But the so-called amnesia was just the reason why Kimura Takumi didn't want to wander around as an illegal resident after learning that he had traveled to another world.

Obviously, other time travelers all had golden fingers, but when it came to him, he had nothing at all.

Kimura Takuya once hoped that he could obtain a system that would allow him to dominate the world, but as time passed, he realized that he was a little too idealistic.

However, with his innate ability of photographic memory and the help of Ryunosuke, he now lives a leisurely and comfortable life without any pressure.

Not only did he have a formal identity, but he was also admitted to the University of Tokyo without any academic certificates (elementary school, junior high school, or high school diplomas).

Only two years later, I graduated successfully.

His current job at Sobu High School can be considered his first formal job after graduation, unless you count the fact that he founded a company on a whim.

"Since you don't want to hear it, I won't say it."

Like a little child, Ryunosuke picked up the newspaper on the table and started reading it indignantly.

Seeing this, Kimura Takumi shook his head and didn't pay much attention.

This is the other person's personality. Talking too much will make you feel tired.

After a while.

"By the way, have you told that girl about your becoming a teacher?"

Kimura Takumi had just finished his breakfast and put down his bowl and chopsticks, and Ryunosuke Ichisuke, who was reading a newspaper, suddenly said.

The girl he was talking about was the daughter of his next-door neighbor, Izumi Sagiri.

However, surprisingly, unlike what Kimura Takumi remembered, Izumi Sagiri's "mother" is still alive and has no brother.

"Forget it." Kimura Takumi replied.

Kimura Takumi felt a headache when she thought about how if the other person found out that he had a job, he would have no time to play with her and then cry and make a fuss.

"But I've already told Miss Izumi." He thought for a moment and continued.

As for why Izumi Sagiri’s “mother” is called Miss instead of Auntie.

This is because one time, the other party told Kimura Takumi that Izumi Sagiri was not actually his biological daughter, but was adopted from his sister who died in an accident.

"Oh, that's right, I understand."

Ryunosuke Ichisuke didn't worry too much, he believed that the other party would handle it.

After cleaning up the dishes, Kimura Takumi said goodbye to Ryunosuke Ichisuke.

"Well, I'll go to school first. There's an opening ceremony today, and as the homeroom teacher I have to be there first."

It is now 6:50, the time for students to enter school. Everyone will gather in the classroom at 8 o'clock. After the teacher arranges the class, the opening ceremony will officially begin at 8:30.

Because it was Kimura Takumi's first day in office, he had to go to the principal to talk for a while before gathering in the classroom at 8 o'clock.

"Well, be careful on the road."

Ryunosuke put down the newspaper, smiled, and gave the other person a thumbs up.

"Well, I will."

After saying that, Kimura Takumi left.

Hearing the sound of the door closing at the entrance, Ryunosuke took off his glasses and continued reading the newspaper.

……

The house where Kimura Takumi lives is particularly conspicuous in his area, because his is the only four-story building in the surrounding area, while the others are generally two or three stories high.

When he arrived at the garage, several luxury cars came into view. With a quick glance, Kimura Takumi randomly chose a black Cullinan and drove towards Sobu High School.

The distance is not too far, only three kilometers from home to Sobu High School.
