Anime: Desolate Darkness

Spaceship control room.

Without outsiders, Mephisto undid his transformation and stood on the huge control console in a human posture.

In front of him was Mefilas, which had also shrunk to human size, and its four subordinates. In addition to Dada and Zarab who had been seen before, there was also a Baltan and a Kemur.

Kimura Takumi stretched out his right hand and spread out his five fingers. The next moment, a dense mass of black unknown matter flew out and condensed into a metal ball the size of a glass bead in the palm of his hand.

This was the item that Mephilas had given to him under the pretext of a [Signal Jammer] while Chief Babar was watching.

"You have so many cutting-edge technologies." Kimura Takumi returned the sphere and the locator to Mephilas.

The sphere is actually a transmitter, but it does not transmit sound in the ordinary sense. Instead, it transmits any words in the user's mind to other users.

When Mefilas went to discuss with Chief Babar, he had already asked four of his men to wear transmitters.

When Kimura Takumi shook hands with Mephilas, the voice transmitter penetrated into his body, and he successfully entered the rye group composed of five people with Mephilas.

It doesn't require any ability to activate, and information can be transmitted just by thinking about it. It sounds very convenient, but it also has many disadvantages.

For example, if you accidentally start to have random thoughts in your mind, other people will hear them.

So in addition to hearing Mephilas's specific plan, Kimura Takumi also heard a lot of strange ideas, such as all of Dada's complaints along the way when he was looking for the control room, or Mephilas' complaints about Chief Babar.

But thanks to this, every step he took from beginning to end went smoothly as planned.

Only in this way could they capture the spaceship intactly while ensuring that all the Babar people were completely eliminated!

Don't underestimate it, this spacecraft is not just for show, it's not just for show.

This spaceship is a true star destroyer!

According to the information in Mephilas's hands, this spaceship was responsible for most of the planet destruction by the Barbar people.

"Just barely enough, not much, just enough."

Mefilas took it with a smile.

Normally, two parties reach a cooperation for a win-win situation.

For example, this time, Kimura Takumi wanted to eliminate threats and hidden dangers, while Mephilas wanted to obtain the Star Destroyer.

This is the reason, but strangely, Mefilas then said that this spaceship was also a trophy of Kimura Takumi.

"Then what are you going through all this trouble for?" Kimura Takumi wondered.

The other party not only provides advice and suggestions, but also provides manpower, but in the end, they want nothing?

Is this reasonable?

"Well, it's a secret. I can't tell you now." Mefilas said mysteriously.

Ever since Mephilas was greeted by Zaki, his attitude towards him has been extremely strange. Kimura Takumi noticed this when he was watching the game in Valkyrie.

Therefore, he concluded that Mephilas did not reveal the whole process of his meeting with Zaki at that time, and he must have been hiding something.

But there was nothing he could do if the other party didn't say anything. After all, it was about Zaki. If he forced him to ask, something unexpected might happen.

Next, the five astronauts from Mephilas took turns to teach Kimura Takumi how to operate the spacecraft.

What Kimura Takumi never expected was that this spacecraft, which was several kilometers long, could be operated normally by just one person. Could this be said to be worthy of being a high-tech spacecraft of the universe?

However, even though the operation was simple and easy to understand, there were many things to remember, which led to Takumi Kimura forgetting to eat and sleep. He studied from early morning until 11 a.m. before he could barely remember all the new knowledge.

After that, he spent several hours getting familiar with the interior structure of the spacecraft and roughly understood the area divisions inside.

Finally, he turned to look at Mefilas and the others, and finally asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time, "This is also your first time using this spaceship, right? How did you learn to fly it right away?"

Even if Mephilas and his people have spaceships, they are made by different races! Are the operating principles, configurations, etc. exactly the same?

"We didn't know how to fly this spaceship right from the start. We gradually mastered it through on-site practice." Mefilas answered seriously, "Why do you think we have to take turns teaching? Isn't it because when we come to a part we don't understand, we can ask someone who is studying another area to come over and explain it first?"

Kimura Takumi was speechless for a moment.

Judging from this, these five people are definitely geniuses. They worked together to thoroughly study a huge star destroyer in less than a day.

Rather, the truly amazing one was the Baltan alien, who taught him for 9 hours, 6 of which were spent by the other person.

As expected of an alien who is famous for his extremely advanced high technology in the Ultra Universe, his inherent advantage is strength.

Seeing that Kimura Takumi was staring at him, Baltan approached Dardana carefully and whispered, "Why does he always stare at me?"

"Look how scared you are. It won't hurt if you look a few more times." Dada said unhappily.

……

Meanwhile, on Earth.

The time here on the island country is 15:25, which means that the students have just finished school.

On a street in Chiba, two figures in Sobu High School uniforms were walking under the scorching sun.

Not long after, the girl with long black hair who was walking behind spoke up. She wiped the sweat off her chin with the back of her hand and asked with a dry mouth, "Sawamura-san! Where are you taking me?"

Sawamura Eriri looked back at Kasumigaoka Utaha behind her, wiped the sweat off her pretty face with the back of her hand, and replied, "It's almost there, just hold on a little longer."

The two beautiful girls' faces were flushed because they had been exposed to the sun for too long.

"Sigh." Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed.

She felt helpless. If she didn't owe the other person a favor, she would have run away long ago!

As for why I owe someone a favor, it can be traced back to the beginning of the school year.

Kasumigaoka Utaha is a new light novel writer who writes under the pen name Kasumigaoka Utako. Since the release of her debut novel Love Metronome, all five volumes have sold over 500,000 copies.

At a fan conference during the winter vacation, I was surprised to find that the blogger who had helped me promote my work was actually my junior from the same school, and he came to the scene to ask for my autograph.

And that person was Tomoya Aki, and the two of them became ordinary friends.

Later, when the new semester started, Kasumigaoka Utaha accidentally revealed in a chat that she needed to find a painter with superb painting skills to help her draw illustrations for her novel.

Aki Tomoya immediately recommended his childhood sweetheart, Eriri Sawamura, who he hadn't spoken to for a long time but was in the same school with.

Kasumigaoka Utaha was shocked to hear that the beautiful girl who was as famous as herself in Sobu High School and the ace president of the art club was actually her childhood sweetheart.

This is not the end. She was even more surprised when she heard the other party reveal that Sawamura Eriri was actually the famous erotic artist "Kashiwagi Eri" in the doujin world.

Later, she really went to find the other person.

Aki Tomoya's behavior of telling others his privacy without prior consultation made Sawamura Eriri so angry that she almost had a fight with him again.

But thinking that they hadn't spoken to each other for a long time, and that her hidden identity was told to the other party by her mother, she didn't bother to care about it anymore.

As for Kasumigaoka Utaha's request, considering that she might need to "go ashore" and become a serious painter in the future, she agreed after careful consideration.

This is the story between the two people.

And it is possible that Tomoya Aki, who connected the two of them, has already been reincarnated at this moment.
