Anime: Desolate Darkness

(Wednesday, April 2018.4.17, )

The next day, at Sobu High School, during lunch break, in Kimura Takumi's office.

The Kitagawa and Umi 4 girl group came over as usual, but this time they were not there to sit on the sofa, but to play games with Kimura Takumi.

"Game of Kings?"

After hearing Kitagawa Umi's invitation, Kimura Takumi tilted his head in confusion.

"That's right, teacher should have played it too, right?" Kitagawa Umi said with a smile.

"Not really. I just watched others play it and know the rules."

The so-called rules of the King's Game are very simple. Take the five people in the office today as an example.

Prepare a deck of playing cards. If five people are playing, draw four playing cards with numbers 1 to 4, and then draw an extra ghost.

At the beginning, shuffle five cards and put them on the table. Everyone draws one card without letting others see it.

The player who draws the joker card becomes the "King" and has special powers after showing the cards to prove his identity.

The remaining players will get corresponding numbers based on the number cards they draw, starting from 1 and increasing.

After the King announces his order, the player with the corresponding number must execute it.

A command can be any reasonable request that can be implemented in a game environment, such as asking a player to perform a show or tell a joke.

If the order was unreasonable or impossible to execute, the king needed to reissue it.

After each round, the king needs to designate a player to shuffle and re-deal the cards.

The purpose of shuffling the cards is to increase the randomness and fairness of the game, ensuring that every player has a chance to become the king. When all players have been kings, the game ends.

"Then teacher, do you want to play with us?" asked Dakong from the side.

"Sure, I'd like to try it." Kimura Takumi nodded. He had often seen this game in anime before, so he couldn't help but become interested.

"Yoshi!"

For some reason, Ryune was extremely excited when she heard that Kimura Takumi agreed.

Seeing this, Kimura Takumi looked at her curiously.

"That... I remembered something happy..."

Liuyin turned her face away guiltily and scratched her cheek awkwardly.

……

Soon, the five people started the game.

Using the table between the two sofas as the shuffling area, Ryune and Daisora ​​sat on the sofas on the left, Kimura Takumi sat in front, on his own swivel chair, and the remaining two sat on the sofas on the right.

In order to prevent someone from peeking and know in advance who has which number, the two people sitting on the sofa should sit at the edge of each side.

"Then let's draw the cards."

Kitagawa Umi shuffled the cards and took the lead in drawing a card from the table.

Dakong was quick-witted and became the second person to get the cards.

...

In less than a moment, there was only one card left on the table, left for Kimura Takumi.

It’s not that he can’t beat them, it’s just that he’s not in a hurry.

After all, this game cannot be won by hand speed.

Snapped!

Without even looking at it, Kimura Takumi confidently turned over the only card left on the table.

That was actually a joker card!

The four girls stared at the ghost in amazement, very shocked.

"It's not fair! Teacher, are you cheating?" Liuyin was dissatisfied and suspected that the other party was cheating.

He was clearly the last one to draw a card, but he was so confident that he just turned it over and won!

Kimura Takumi smiled calmly: "The cards belong to Ozora-san, and the one who shuffled them is Kitagawa-san. As the last person to draw the cards, how could I possibly do something tricky?"

"Could it be that my classmates are questioning my character?"

Even though he walks crookedly, he sits upright. Kimura Takumi is not afraid of being questioned!

"Uh~!"

Liuyin puffed her lips in shame and anger. She had no words to refute the other party and had to admit defeat.

"Okay, okay, it's a game, the most important thing is to have fun, don't worry about the details."

Seeing that Ryune was so excited, Kitagawa Kaimeng quickly came out to act as a peacemaker.

At this moment, Kimura Takumi felt inexplicably comfortable and couldn't help but pretend.

He pushed up the nonexistent glasses on his nose with two fingers of his left hand, picked up the card with his right index and middle fingers and shook it, and said happily: "My classmate, you are still far from it."

Hearing this, Ryūin's cheeks puffed out even more, like a pufferfish.

"Teacher, please stop teasing Liuyin. What if she cries?"

Dakong patted Ryune on the back and whispered a few words in her ear.

Liuyin's expression kept changing from then on.

When Dakong moved back, Liuyin smiled and said confidently, "Hmph! Wait, I will be the king next time!"

At this moment, Kimura Takumi's face became strange. Obviously, with his ability, he had heard the conspiracy between the two.

In this case, he will have to rely on his hand speed to win in the next few games.

"Teacher, please give the order quickly, otherwise there won't be enough time to take turns with the kings."

Seeing that they had wasted so much time, Noha Sugaya became anxious.

Kitagawa Umi beside him also nodded repeatedly.

Kimura Takumi thought for two seconds and said, "Then, number one, do thirty push-ups."

"..."

Silence, deathly silence!

The four girls all looked at Kimura Takumi in shock, feeling unbelievable.

Are you serious? !

Except for you, everyone else here is a girl!

The number one enemy was none other than Sugaya Noha, who had just asked Kimura Takumi to give orders quickly.

She suddenly stood up, threw the playing cards in her hand onto the table, looked at Kimura Takumi lifelessly, and said, "Teacher, I finally know why you are single!"

After she finished speaking, she walked to the side and did push-ups with tears in her eyes.

It can be seen that the other party can still afford to play.

After a while, after completing the task with difficulty, Noha Sugaya fell weakly on the sofa. The light in her eyes had disappeared, as if she had been broken.

For someone like her, who usually only knows how to eat, drink and have fun and doesn't do much exercise, thirty push-ups are already seriously exceeding the limit, as that is the amount of exercise for several days!

"Teacher, if my body doesn't recover by the end of school today, you have to take responsibility! Drive me home!"

Noha Sugaya glared at Takumi Kimura.

Kimura Takumi thought the other party was joking and responded with a chuckle: "It's not that serious, right?"

"I'm serious!" Noha Sugaya looked determined.

"But... push-ups tire your hands, not your feet, right?" Kimura Takumi exposed mercilessly.

"Ala? I've been discovered."

The serious expression disappeared instantly, and Noha Sugaya touched the back of her head sheepishly and started laughing, trying to get away with it by being cute.

The other three companions looked at him with contempt.

Next, the second hand began, with Dakong shuffling the cards.

But the strange thing is that the one who finally became the king in this round was still Takumi Kimura.

The order he gave was still push-ups, but this time the number of push-ups was increased to thirty-five!

The one who had the honor of receiving the order was Kitagawa Umi, who proposed the game in the first place.

Her condition was fine and her physical fitness was not bad. She could easily complete 35 push-ups in two times without complaining.

But in the third and fourth hands, no matter who shuffled the cards, it was always Takumi Kimura who drew the king!

And his requirements are all push-ups!

It's just that five more are added each round.

After finishing 50 push-ups, Liuyin collapsed on the sofa, panting, unable to even raise her hands!

"The teacher is bullying!" She began to express her dissatisfaction. Why was she the one who got picked the next two times?

"Classmate, you still need 35 more."

The smile on Kimura Takumi's face was very gentle, but in Ryune's eyes this time, he was no different from a devil!

“Wooo ...

Ryune was frightened and started crying while hugging Daisora, the only survivor, and buried her face in the other's weapon, seeking comfort.
