Anime: Desolate Darkness

Lunch break.

Under a big tree in the center of the courtyard, stood a graceful figure.

She has long grey curly hair, wears glasses, is petite but has an unexpectedly outstanding figure, and the white robe draped over her uniform makes her particularly eye-catching.

She is Rio Futaba from Class D of the first grade.

Because school just started today and she was a little excited, Futaba Rio accidentally forgot to bring her lunch box.

I wanted to go to the grocery store to buy some bread and milk, but it was already surrounded by students and I couldn't squeeze in.

Looking at the crowded crowd not far away, she couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Forget it, just think of it as losing weight..."

Futaba Rio turned around and prepared to return to the classroom.

As for why we didn’t go to the cafeteria to eat, it was because it was being renovated. The school thought it would be completed before the start of school, but they didn’t expect the project to be so troublesome and it would probably take another week.

"Futaba-san."

A cheerful voice called out to Rio Futaba just as she took two steps.

Turning around and seeing the person who called her clearly, Futaba Rio looked puzzled: "Teacher Kimura?"

She only has two opinions about her head teacher: he is good-looking and he likes to be late.

Before she could react, Kimura Takumi handed her a chocolate bread.

"Now, this is for you."

"Eh?"

Looking at the chocolate bread in the other person's hand, Futaba Rio was stunned.

"why?"

"what why?"

“Why did the teacher give me this?”

"You haven't eaten yet, have you? I just saw you wanted to buy lunch but couldn't squeeze in."

"That's true, but..."

"No buts, take it. As a class teacher, how can I watch my students go hungry?"

Interrupting Rio Futaba's words, Kimura Takumi forcefully stuffed the bread into her hand.

"Here you go, teacher has something else to do, so I'll leave first. Bye!"

Without giving the other party a chance to refuse, after doing everything, Kimura Takumi left without looking back.

It was not until the other person's figure gradually blurred and disappeared that Futaba Rio came to her senses.

Casting her eyes on the chocolate bread in her hand, she squeezed it to confirm its authenticity and murmured slowly, "Thank...thank you."

Although her mind was filled with thousands of thoughts, she could only utter these few words at the moment.

……

On the other side, Kimura Takumi came to a restaurant outside the school and ate a delicious meal.

While eating, he lamented what he had just done.

"Sacrificing oneself for others is worthy of me."

Having said that, in fact, his action just now was just to verify one thing.

In the original plot of "Spring Pigs", Futaba Rio fell in love with the protagonist's gay friend who gave her a chocolate bread because she didn't bring her lunch box one time.

Kimura Takumi wanted to know if there were really girls in the world who were so easy to deal with.

……

Class D of the first grade.

In the classroom, Futaba Rio sat in her seat and savoured the chocolate bread that Kimura Takumi gave her.

Obviously, she had eaten this brand of chocolate bread before, but she always felt that the one in her hand was more delicious than before.

"Could the food I ate before be out of date?"

Being a calm and collected genius science student, she did not realize that anything was wrong and planned to look at the difference in taste from a scientific perspective.

But she quickly denied the previous conjecture.

How could I make such a low-level mistake?

"It should be a change of materials."

……

In the afternoon, the school started recruiting new members for clubs as scheduled.

There are not only old clubs, but also many new clubs founded by freshmen.

In the atrium, there were dozens of community stalls, and the flow of people was about to fill them up.

Looking at the students walking by the stall, no matter whether they are new or old, those enthusiastic promoters would always run up to win them over.

"Dear students, don't miss it if you pass by! Do you want to know the secrets of the world? Do you want to know whether there are supernatural phenomena? If you want, then join us! Paranormal Investigation Center!"

"Classmate, I see that you have amazing talent and are a natural at playing basketball. Join our basketball team! It doesn't matter if you have no experience. As long as you work hard, I believe that in two and a half years, you will be able to lead the school to the national competition!"

……

If you think these are all the clubs there are in school, you are wrong.

This is less than half of the total. Many clubs did not get the qualification to recruit new members in the atrium due to lottery problems, and could only wait in the special building, in their own club activity classrooms, for new students to knock on the door.

Of course, many presidents don’t want to wait in vain, so they will bring their members, holding signs, and go to each first-year classroom to “capture” the freshmen who are left alone.

On the first floor of the teaching building, under the west stairs, Goto Ichiri was hiding inside.

'How terrible! '

Squatting in the corner, huddled into a ball, Goto Ichiri recalled the fear he had just felt when surrounded by seniors in the classroom.

She was just sitting quietly in her seat waiting for the end of school, but a group of students wearing colorful headscarves rushed in and surrounded everyone they saw. She was not spared even though she was lying on the table.

"Classmate! That's a guitar next to your seat, right?! Do you like music?! Do you want to join our rock club?"

A pretty senior school girl came up and made an invitation, but the senior school boy next to her was not happy to hear it.

"Who says you have to join the rock club if you have a guitar?"

"I didn't say that. I was just asking her if she wanted to join."

"..."

When the senior student saw the aggrieved expression of the senior student, his anger suddenly dissipated and he even wanted to slap himself.

But the next second, realizing that the two sides were still in competition, he immediately shouted to Goto Ichiri: "Classmate! Join our idol club! Although you look a little shady and wear a strange pink sportswear, once you go through our transformation, you will definitely become a sweet idol that everyone will pay attention to!"

……

Originally, on the first day of school, Goto Ichiri brought his guitar and a lot of band peripherals, hoping that someone would notice them and come to him to communicate.

But when the time came, she started to back out.

"Socializing is scary! The seniors are scary too! I should have just hidden here from the beginning, I shouldn't have stayed in the classroom!"

So many people invited her just now, but she didn't say a word. She was even too nervous and fell to the ground, twitching wildly, scaring everyone away.

Goto Ichiri was very worried whether his behavior would leave a bad impression on others.

"Goto-san?"

Sudden.

A doubtful voice sounded behind Goto Ichiri, and she trembled all over. She turned her head stiffly and saw Chitanda Eru in the class.

"Class!!! Class monitor?! Could it be that my seniors went to the teacher to complain that I was behaving strangely and sent the class monitor to arrest me?! No, no! I must not be arrested!!!"

"I will commit hara-kiri right now! Please don't take me to be publicly executed! Please!"

Goto Ichiri performed a dogeza in front of Chitanda Eru.

"what?"

"Seppuku?"

Chitanda Eru was obviously frightened by the other party and unconsciously took a half step back.
