I'm a second-year student, Ayanokouji Kiyotaka.

In my sophomore year at Tokyo Metropolitan High School, I spend my days as a happy high school student.

Going to school, studying with friends, then after class playing with at karaoke and the like.

That period of time is really fun to go through.

Then, all of that changed as darkness enveloped the sky.

It was still 9.30 am, the sun was still visible above. It should....

"W-what happened ?!"

My classmate, Ike Kanji, was the first to break the silence throughout the class. All the students looked out the window and found the sky was pitch black.

Not only that, it seemed like Chabashira who was teaching at the front also looked surprised.

The noise was starting to be heard in the classroom, you could even hear the noise from all 2nd class along the corridor.

"The sky got dark? It's not even night yet! "

"S-seriously? Is this a new special exam from school, ha-, haha? "

"That can't be right !? How can the school make things like this? Cover the sky with a giant tarp? "

"Not just at school ... Guys, check out today's news report!"

Khusida who realized something immediately told us all to look at the news report on the cellphone.

Today's headline was: "As soon as the sky turned pitch black, it didn't just happen in Japan... The whole world was going through the same thing! What is going on?"

Instantly the class became increasingly chaotic again.

Noise can also be heard from other classes.

Chabashira in front is seen making a phone call. From her current attitude, she was also very panicked about the sudden change in the situation.

Is this a new phenomenon that occurs as a result of something? Is there a scientific reason behind this phenomenon?

I got up from my seat and walked towards the window. My classmates have gathered there.

I stood looking outside, Horikita was right beside me.

"Do you have any idea about what just happened right now?"

"I don't. It's like a magic trick, replacing day with night. Isn't this a miraculous phenomenon? "

"You say that... looks like you believe in miracles?"

"Well ... only sometimes."

The phenomenon where the whole world is covered in darkness in an instant, imagine a state where daytime changes instantly into the night.

"Even in this strange atmosphere, I can't see the change in expression on your face. I wonder, the phenomenon of the world going completely dark like this strange night can't even surprise you. "

"Horikita, I'm sure whether I express myself or not, has nothing to do with the current problem."

"Speaking of night, this is weird isn't it?"

Shifting the conversation is one of Horikita's specialties.

"Huh?"

Come to think of it, this was a little different from the usual nighttime.

If you look up at the sky, there is nothing.... There is no thin white cloud that sometimes covers the moon, no stars ... or the moon? It was as if the world was being covered by a thin black tarp.
