Anime: Desolate Darkness

On the rooftop.

Kimura Takumi looked through his cell phone to see if there was any strange news report.

Unfortunately, after looking for a long time, he found nothing.

Normally, it was a good thing that nothing strange happened, but being too peaceful made him feel inexplicably uneasy.

Last time there were three monsters, but now half a month has passed and everything is still calm. There is something wrong no matter how you look at it.

But he couldn't find the problem at the moment and there was nothing he could do.

!

Kimura Takumi suddenly felt a strong gaze and looked up at the ceiling above the rooftop entrance, only to see a large box with two small cuts placed there.

His keen observation ability enabled him to see through the small hole at a glance and look at the guy hiding inside.

! ! ! ! !

When Goto Ichiri realized that the teacher had noticed him and was slowly walking towards him, he couldn't stop shaking.

"What should I do?! The teacher is coming!! No, no, he might just be leaving through the exit! But, he just made eye contact with me, didn't he?! "

Seeing the big box slowly moving backwards, Kimura Takumi quickened his pace and jumped to the top from an angle that Goto Ichiri could not see.

"Don't move, or I'll kill you."

Kimura Takumi stepped on the box from behind to secure it, and aimed the Dark Evolver in his right hand at the box.

! !

"Do not kill me!"

Hearing the other party's cold words, Goto Ichiri immediately burst into tears.

She never thought that she would be threatened like this just because she glanced at the teacher a few times.

? ?

A familiar voice sounded and Kimura Takumi was stunned.

Why is it her?

"Goto-san?"

"That's right! It's me! Please, teacher, let me go! I won't look at it again!"

"..."

Kimura Takumi fell into deep thought. He remembered that Goto Ichiri had a fairly good relationship with Futaba Rio now, and he should have hidden in the Science Department during every lunch break. Why was he hiding on the rooftop now?

It seemed that the changes in his body were not great enough for him to distinguish familiar people by their aura.

Later, after asking, Kimura Takumi found out that it was because during the lunch break today, Futaba Rio was going to conduct an experiment in the science department, and the smell produced by the experiment would be very unpleasant, so she asked Goto Ichiri not to come over today.

Moreover, after learning some information about Goto Ichiri, she specially gave him a large box to hide in.

"I'm sorry, Goto-san, the teacher just spoke a little harshly."

Realizing that he had been too nervous recently, Kimura Takumi apologized solemnly.

But how could Goto Ichiri dare to accept this?

"No, no, no! I should be the one apologizing! I hid in the box and disturbed the teacher's lunch break!"

"..."

Kimura Takumi was speechless for a moment. Is this something worth apologizing for?

No matter how you look at it now, there's something wrong with him, right?

But he also knew that given the other party's personality, it was already very good that he could still communicate with him after such a misunderstanding.

No, it should be said that even if nothing strange happened, it was a very remarkable situation that Goto Ichiri could communicate closely with a person of the opposite sex.

Perhaps, this is all thanks to the big box that Rio Futaba sent.

"Then I'll be leaving first. Goto-san, be careful and don't fall down accidentally."

Now that everything had been explained, Kimura Takumi no longer had any intention of staying.

He knew that if he stayed for one more second, it might be torture for Goto Ichiri.

"Goodbye, old...teacher..."

A tiny sound was heard when Kimura Takumi jumped to the door. If it was half a month ago, he would definitely not have been able to hear it clearly.

After a while.

The sound of Kimura Takumi's footsteps coming down the stairs could no longer be heard, and Goto Ichiri slowly lifted the box, revealing himself.

"Wow! Teacher Kimura is so scary!"

Recalling the other party's words just now, "Don't move, or I will kill you", Goto Ichiri squatted on the ground and drew circles in grievance.

"As expected, I am not popular at all... and I am easily disliked. Even the usually kind-hearted Mr. Kimura can be so mean to me."

She seemed to have completely ignored the fact that those were words spoken by Kimura Takumi when he didn't know who was in the box.

……

After school, Kimura Takumi was strolling alone in the campus and happened to walk to the back of the special building.

At this moment, the grass nearby shook a few times.

Then, a snow-white kitten with slightly yellowish fur slowly walked out.

'A stray cat?'

Kimura Takumi was puzzled.

Animals are not allowed in Sobu High School. This is the first time he has seen a cat running in in the past half month.

"Uh-huh-huh."

Out of curiosity, Takumi Kimura squatted down and stretched out his right hand towards the cat.

Perhaps because it has been wandering for too long, the white cat has become very alert.

When it saw Kimura Takumi reaching out his hand, its fur stood up, its sharp claws gripped the ground tightly, and a piercing cry came out of its mouth, "Meow~!!"

"..."

Seeing that the other party didn't know what was going on, Kimura Takumi didn't bother him any more and just pretended he didn't see it. He didn't necessarily want to catch the other party out.

But strangely, when Kimura Takumi got up and left, the white cat followed him.

When Kimura Takumi walked, it walked; when Kimura Takumi stopped, it stopped too. The distance between the two was always about 2 meters.

Seeing this, Kimura Takumi tried to touch the other party again, but the white cat's fur instantly stood up, just like at the beginning.

This strange situation made Kimura Takumi scratch his head.

Then he realized something, reached into his pocket and took out a sausage.

It was the end of lunch break, and Ryune told Kimura Takumi what the rental cost of the chair was.

"You don't want this, do you?"

Sure enough, when the white cat saw Kimura Takumi take out the sausage, it became excited and its cry was no longer as aggressive as it was at the beginning.

"Meow~"

"..."

After all this time, it turns out that he just came to beg for food.

However, Kimura Takumi couldn't help but sigh that the other party's sense of smell was like a dog's.

The ham sausage was very delicious and fragrant, but it was not opened, so the smell was not much, but the other party could still smell it from a distance.

"Really."

Kimura Takumi squatted down, tore open the sausage packaging, broke off a small piece and handed it to the white cat.

But the strange thing was that the other party just stared at the small piece of ham in his hand without saying anything.

"Could it be..."

Kimura Takumi made a guess and threw the sausage to the ground.

Seeing this, the white cat had no patience any longer and pounced forward directly, fearing that someone would snatch it away from it.

In just a moment, the small piece of ham was destroyed by it.

It licked the corner of its mouth, still unsatisfied, and looked at the remaining ham sausage in Kimura Takumi's hand, looking pitiful and "meow~"

Without hesitation, Kimura Takumi separated the whole sausage from the packaging and threw it on the ground.

This made the white cat very greedy. It no longer had the ferocious look it had at the beginning and kept attacking the sausage.

Looking at the white cat eating frantically, Kimura Takumi's mouth corners slightly raised, and he couldn't help but outline a gentle smile.

At this moment, his right hand had unknowingly reached the other person's head and was stroking it gently.

The white cat, who was busy eating, just suddenly glared at the other party warily, but immediately buried his head in eating.

Its behavior seemed to say, "Since you've paid tribute to me, I'll let you touch it with reluctance!"

……

And everything that happened to Kimura Takumi was seen by a girl.

She hid in a corner not far away, biting the area where her left thumb rested, and kept hitting the wall with her right hand. Her eyes were wide open, staring at Kimura Takumi.

"What should I do?! Mr. Kimura is so kind! I really want to possess his smile! It would be great if I was the only one by his side in the future! ..."

Even if one couldn't hear her inner voice, just from the look in her eyes that seemed to want to eat up Kimura Takumi, one could tell that she was following him and that it was not a coincidence that she appeared here.
