Anime: Desolate Darkness

There was a faint smell of disinfectant in the medical room of Sobu High School.

Nanamiya Chione lay quietly on the hospital bed, with the quilt wrapping her whole body. Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes revealed endless fatigue and fear.

After returning from Shibuya, she had been hiding here, claiming she was not feeling well. She was unwilling to leave even during lunch break, let alone go for lunch.

She didn't dare close her eyes, because as soon as she closed them, tragic scenes would emerge in her mind.

Cars collided with each other, making a harsh metallic friction sound. People fled in panic, shouting and cries for help intertwined and echoed in the air. Flames burned fiercely, black smoke rose, and the whole world seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

The tragic scene at Shibuya Crossing lingered in her mind like a nightmare, making her unable to break free.

Her body curled up into a ball and trembled slightly, tears streaming down her cheeks and soaking the sheets.

boom.

The door of the infirmary was opened, and a beautiful mature woman with a broad mind walked in. She was the infirmary teacher here.

Seeing Nanamiya Chione still curled up in bed and not leaving, she couldn't help but worry,

"Classmate, are you feeling better? Let's go to the hospital and have a look."

"No...no thanks!" Nanamiya Chione answered excitedly.

Wiping the tears from her cheeks under the quilt, she threw back the quilt, hurriedly put on her indoor shoes, and ran out.

The teacher in the infirmary was a little confused and puzzled. Why did he run away after just asking?

"Huh~? What is this?" Turning her gaze to the bed where Nanamiya Chione had just lain, she noticed a wet spot in the middle and walked forward curiously to check it out.

"Could it be that... the child was here just now?!" For some reason, she touched the wet part of the sheet with her fingers, then put it in front of her mouth and licked it with her tongue.

After tasting it, disappointment appeared on her face, "What? It's just tears..." She thought she had encountered something interesting.

……

Not long after Nanamiya Chione ran out of the infirmary, the school bell rang.

She washed her face in the restroom and walked out of the teaching building in a daze. Before she knew it, she was outside the school.

At the school gate, Yuba Lee, who was across the street, saw Nanamiya Chion ignoring him, lowering her head and walking away. He thought she was trying to be lazy and immediately chased after her.

"Seven Palaces!"

A call came from behind, but Nanamiya Chione seemed not to hear it and did not stop.

Seeing this, Yuba Li strode forward without hesitation, grabbed her shoulder with his right hand, and said with a little dissatisfaction: "Nanamiya, you are not hard of hearing, are you? I called you several times last time."

Nanamiya Chione was startled by this sudden action and her body shook involuntarily.

She slowly turned her head, and Yuba Li saw her face clearly. Her eyes were obviously red and swollen. A row of question marks floated over her head, "Nanamiya, why are you crying again?"

The scene seemed familiar, except that the two people's identities changed from strangers to friends.

Nanamiya Chion seemed to want to say something but stopped herself, her eyes evasive.

She bit her lip, then as if she had made up her mind, she opened her arms and hugged Yuba Li, burying her face in his majestic breasts.

She wanted to seek comfort in this way.

Huh? What's going on?

Youba Li was stunned, with surprise and confusion written all over his face.

"Breast pads are charged extra!" she said at an inopportune moment.

Nanamiya Chione was amused and reluctantly let go of her. She wiped the tears that had just overflowed from her face with her hands, and complained softly with a smile, "How can you be like this? Can't you see that I'm sad?"

Youba Li didn't give in at all and said seriously, "You didn't even tell me the reason, and you still want special services?"

Of course, even if there is a reason, it won’t work. The main thing is that you still have to pay more!

"Pfft." Nanamiya Chione laughed again and complained, "Little Yuba talks so weirdly."

The camera turned and the two of them walked to the beach.

Sitting on the beach, Nanamiya Chione buried her face between her bent knees and wrapped her arms around them.

Seeing her curled up into a ball, Yuba Li, who was beside her, raised his eyebrows.

"Qigong, what's going on with you this time?"

Kids nowadays are really troublesome. They were sad just a few days ago because they were afraid of being disliked by their teacher, and now a new situation has arisen.

Nanamiya Chione didn't answer, but just shook her head.

Seeing that she refused to speak, Yuba Li had no choice.

But going on like this wasn't a solution, so she started talking about other topics, hoping to distract the other person.

"Hey, Nanamiya, have you been watching the news at school?" Yuba Lee said as he took out his cell phone, fiddled with it, and handed it to Nanamiya Chie. "A super, super terrible incident happened in Shibuya this morning. More than a thousand people died!"

Upon hearing this, Nanamiya Chion buried her head even deeper.

So many people died...

Yuba Li thought the other party didn't believe him, so he continued with a serious expression, "Nanamiya, take a look. There is a video here as evidence! That black giant is destroying the city like a demon."

"Who?!"

Nanamiya Chione's head suddenly lifted up, her pupils dilated, her face full of shock. Yuba Lee was caught off guard and frightened so much that her phone slipped and fell onto the beach.

Nanamiya Chione quickly picked up Yuba Lee's phone, her fingers trembling slightly, tapped the screen, and started watching the video on it.

How is this possible? This is absolutely fake!!

Her heart was screaming, Nanamiya Chione could never accept that the Mephisto who was wantonly destroying the city in the video was actually Kimura Takumi himself!

Seeing Nanamiya Chione's exaggerated expression, Yuba Lee was secretly delighted, thinking that he had successfully diverted her attention, and said proudly: "How is it? Is this news explosive?"

After a pause, she sighed again, "I never thought that the black giant could do such a thing."

Like most people, Yuba Lee was previously a supporter of Mephisto, but after this incident, she had no choice but to go with the flow without a God's perspective.

"This is fake!" Nanamiya Chione suddenly shouted.

Youba Lee was obviously caught off guard by her strong reaction. He opened his mouth slightly in astonishment and uttered, "Huh?"

Nanamiya Chione looked directly at Yuba Lee, her eyes like burning flames, and said solemnly: "I mean, this giant must be a fake!"

It was the first time that Yuba Li saw Nanamiya Chione's determined eyes, and his heart was shocked.

As for what the other party said...

Without factual proof, she was at most half-believing and half-doubting.

In order to verify her guess, Nanamiya Chione ran to the side, took out her mobile phone and called Kimura Takumi.

To her surprise, Kimura Takumi seemed to have known that she would come to him to ask about the situation. The moment the call was connected, before she even opened her mouth, Kimura Takumi's answer came out, "That giant was disguised by someone else."
