My love is abyss mode

Chapter 126 Draining the Pond to Catch All the Fish (3-in-1)

Back in the apartment, as I pushed open the door, a sweet and alluring aroma filled my nostrils.

Kuronuma looked up at the balcony. Under the warm yellow light, Matsusaka Kanon and Hatsushino Ryo stood side by side in front of the dining table, with various tools and materials laid out in front of them.

Egg beater, molds, milk, fruit, and a large bag of flour leaned against the table leg.

Hearing the door open, Matsuzaka Kanon turned her head and looked over. Wearing a disposable plastic glove, she brushed a strand of long hair behind her ear and smiled gently: "Welcome home."

"Welcome home." Hatsushiro Ryo mimicked her greeting with a blank expression.

"I am back."

Kuronuma nodded in acknowledgment, changed into slippers in the entryway, walked towards the two, and placed the bento box he had brought back on the dining table: "Chitose-senpai has decided to reorganize the band tomorrow, so I probably don't need to go to carry the Jade Dragon Flag anymore, right?"

"Is that so? Hmm, that works too."

Matsuzaka Kanon nodded gently, her beautiful gray eyes fixed intently on the paste in the mixing bowl, her soft voice carrying a hint of amusement: "Kiba really hates kendo."

"It's just a side thing. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't want to do something just because I hate it. This way, it's more efficient."

Kurogane Kiba stood behind the two, his arms around Matsuzaka Kanon and Hatsushika Ryo's waists. Comparing them, the young lady was indeed more perfect.

"Didn't you say you weren't coming back tonight?" he asked, turning to Hatsushino Ryo.

"My mother told me to enjoy life."

Hatsushino Ryo leaned closer, rubbing against Kuronuma Kiba's chest, her wine-red eyes still intently fixed on the egg-beating bowl: "She'll handle the company's affairs."

"You won't have to work anymore?"

"Ah."

"Looks like those bodyguards don't have to worry about losing their jobs." Kuronuma Kiba raised his hand and rubbed her head, his tone quite relaxed.

The band's reunion was a source of healing for both Shinonome Shionai and Hatsushino Ryo.

Hatsushino Ryo didn't care about the bodyguards or anyone else. She reached out and hugged Kuronuma Kiba, and suddenly said, "I want to."

"Daytime is not already over."

"Kanon too." As she spoke, she reached out and tugged at Matsuzaka Kanon's sleeve.

"Hmm?" Matsuzaka Kanon turned to look at Kuronuma Kiba with a puzzled look, as if asking, "Why did the topic suddenly jump to this?"

"Now," Hatsushiro Ryo mechanically emphasized.

"I'm a little tired; I didn't sleep well last night."

Matsuzaka Kanon looked at the pile of things that needed to be cleared from the dining table, her tone troubled: "If we leave them here, they'll go bad, won't they? The beaten eggs have to be baked into a cake base tonight."

"Senior Liang, it would be better if we each slept separately tonight."

Kuronuma looked at Hatsushino Ryo with a troubled expression in his eyes: "It's too frequent, won't it get boring?"

He hasn't slept well for two or three days. Lately, he seems to have been lying in bed all the time, but he has never had a proper rest.

"I want to do it."

Hatsushika Ryo reiterated her thoughts and forcefully dragged Kuronuma Kiba and Matsuzaka Kanon to the bathroom: "The materials are cheap, buy new ones, and we'll learn again tomorrow."

The young lady is rich and powerful.

Kuronuma sighed helplessly. Seeing that Matsuzaka Kanon was completely powerless to resist and looked unwilling, he comforted her, "Fine, just consider it saving water."

"Seriously, can't Ya do something about her?"

"To be honest, I don't really want to."

"Please be a little gentler." Matsuzaka Kanon's slender wrist was completely powerless against Hatsushika Ryo's grasp. She glared at Kuronuma Kiba resentfully, but could only accept her fate.

May 11, Tuesday, sunny.

Last night, Kuronuma was still somewhat enjoying himself, but when the young lady walked into his classroom for the second time in front of everyone, he was no longer happy at all.

During the first class in the morning, a cool breeze rushed in through the window, carrying the scent of sunshine. The chalk scraped against the blackboard, and dust drifted down with a soft sound.

As Swampfang sat in his seat, intently studying a Pokémon team composition that could defeat Shikano Ryo, he heard the familiar sound of wooden clogs stomping on the floor.

He turned his head and saw Hatsushino Ryo, wearing the school uniform, walk into the classroom through the back door and head straight for him, her wine-red eyes fixed on him.

When she left home in the morning, she was wearing a loose coat and cargo pants, but now she has changed into a white shirt and a Western-style coat, and the matte black stockings that cover her beautiful legs under the pleated skirt are shimmering with light.

Her already perfect figure, paired with suitable clothes and an impeccable face, exudes an aura of indifference that is untouchable and unapproachable.

Kuronuma Kiba couldn't help but feel a flutter in his heart, followed by a bad premonition.

The classroom was unusually quiet; even the teacher's hand froze in mid-air as he turned to look at the two of them.

Under the envious gazes of many, Kuronuma Kiba swallowed hard and silently took out his phone from the drawer of his desk. Sure enough, there was a message from Hatsushino Ryo from a few minutes ago.

[Hatsushino: I want to do it.]
He turned to look at Hatsushino Ryo, who was standing beside him, staring intently at him, and asked with a hint of helplessness, "Who taught you that?"

Hatsushiro Ryo took out her phone, opened a chat history, and handed it to him.

[Hatsushikano: Kiba seems less enthusiastic towards me now.]
[Shirakawa: He's a leg fetishist. I suggest you change your style of dress. He bought me a lot of socks last time.]
[Hatsushika: Want to come together?]
[Shirakawa: Don't even think about it.]
[Hatsushino: Band]
[Shirakawa: I'm not interested.]
After Kuronuma Kiba finished reading, Hatsushino Ryo put away her phone, took his hand with her soft, boneless hand, and touched the soft flesh of his exposed thigh. Her wine-red eyes conveyed a message.

Kuronuma didn't understand her gaze, but he knew very well what he should do: at the very least, he couldn't touch his girlfriend's leg in class.

"Excuse me, teacher, I need to ask for leave."

He shoved the handheld game console into the desk drawer, stood up, took Hatsushino Ryo's hand, and walked out of the classroom. Once in the empty corridor, he sighed helplessly, "Hotel or home?"

"I don't want to waste time."

"There's a small lounge in the student council president's office. If you just ask Chitose-senpai, you should be able to borrow it."

"Too far."

Hatsushino Ryo shook his head slightly, tightly gripping Kuronuma Kiba's hand, and led him downstairs through the corridor leading to the club activity building: "Let's go to the club, there are sofas."

Kurogane had no right to refuse and could only accompany her to the mountaineering club.

As he locked the door to the club activity room, he thought of the book that Shirakawa Momo had forced him to read. There was a line in "The Exile of Love" that said: "Women will also become docile because of this."

This is a complete lie. Hatsushino Ryo is not docile at all; she only greedily takes!
Looking back, only Matsusaka Kanon became docile as a result.

Shirakawa Momo only uses a contemptuous tone to say sarcastic things, and she does so regardless of the occasion.

The curtains were drawn, blocking out the sunlight, and the bare branches trembled slightly in the low murmur of the autumn wind.

During lunch break, Chitose Toyama pushed open the door and entered the classroom of Class 1, Grade 1. Momo Shirakawa and Shiona Shinkai were sitting on opposite sides of the desk, enjoying their bento boxes.

The fresh-faced and energetic young woman kept bringing up topics while eating, while the slender girl ate quietly with a cold expression, occasionally casting disdainful glances. The atmosphere was harmonious to some extent.

With her long, straight legs striding in a sexy arc, Chitose Toyama stood to the side of the two, her posture upright, her long purple ponytail swaying gently.

She stared at Shirakawa Momo, who had raised her face, for a moment, frowned slightly, and turned to Shinkai Shiona, saying, "I've decided to reform the band."

"Huh?" Shinkai Shiona stared wide-eyed at Toyama Chitose with an incredulous look.

Happiness comes so suddenly, like the pure joy of waking up in the morning to find a birthday cake on your bedside table.

She took a deep breath, her soft, full strength trying to break free from the constraints of the thin white shirt.

"it is true."

Chitose Toyama nodded in confirmation, then looked at Momo Shirakawa, who was quietly eating lunch, her bright purple eyes revealing an indescribable emotion.

"I am not interested."

Shirakawa Momo glanced at her indifferently, her golden eyes slightly cold, her voice filled with a sense of detachment: "Remember to keep an eye on Shionai-chan, don't let her run around with those friends."

"That's right, please keep an eye on me."

Shinkai Shiona nodded like a chick pecking at rice, her blue eyes looking pitifully at Shirakawa Momo, her hands clasped together in front of her in a pleading gesture: "Momo, please come too, the band is incomplete without you."

"Drummer, bassist, guitarist, the simplest three-person band."

Shirakawa Momo picked up a piece of tamagoyaki with her chopsticks and put it in her mouth, her neat black short hair cutting diagonally into the midday sunlight: "Oh, we're still missing a lead singer."

Because Hatsushiro Ryo never sings, it was destined that this band would never perform on stage from the moment everyone agreed to let her be the lead singer, unless they were playing instrumental music.

Bands that can only play instrumental music can't make money, especially since Chitose Toyama is very resistant to commercialization. There are many people like her, but Momo Shirakawa only wants to make money.

"whatever."

Chitose Toyama waved her hand dismissively, turned and left, saying to Shionai Shiona behind her, "I'll wait for you in the club activity room."

She and Shirakawa Momo really didn't get along, and she didn't have the idea of ​​keeping the band intact. Forcing them to be together would only make Hatsushino Ryo feel miserable.

Shinkai Shiona's gaze shifted back and forth between the two of them. Finally, she picked up the bento box, shoveled the remaining food into her mouth with her chopsticks, and ran after Toyama Chitose while eating.

"Wait me a moment!"

Hearing her sweet voice, Chitose Toyama stopped at the corner of the stairs and waited for Shiona Shinkai to catch up with her while holding onto the railing before slowly going downstairs with her.

Although Shinkai Shiona betrayed her, it was only because of the difference between "band" and "friendship," and Shinkai Shiona cared more about "band."

This is also one of the reasons why Chitose Toyama was willing to reunite the band, taking the opportunity to repair her friendship with Shiona Shinkai and gain some assistance in the process of defeating Kiba Kuronuma.

Shinkai Shionai walked lightly beside Toyama Chitose with her hands behind her back, her chestnut hair rising and falling slowly: "Senpai, where's Ryo-senpai?"

"I don't know, we've already notified them."

"Senior Ryo will definitely agree, right?"

"Maybe." Toyama Chitose's eyes dimmed slightly, and her voice lacked confidence.

She didn't dare to go to Hatsushino Ryo to confirm, preferring to believe Kuronuma Kiba's side of the story.

Upon hearing this, Shinkai Shiona's expression froze on her face, but then she broke into a bright smile and said in a light, airy tone, "It's okay, I'll go talk to Ryo-senpai."

"You need to practice your drumming more, so you don't always get looked down upon." Chitose Toyama nodded gently, her tone softening, unlike her usual irritable self.

The two walked through the corridor and arrived at the door of the mountaineering club's activity room.

Chitose Toyama turned the doorknob, but the door showed no sign of opening.

"I remember I didn't lock the door."

"The door to the mountaineering clubhouse seems to be left unlocked."

Shionai tilted her head in confusion, raised her hand to knock on the door, and shouted inside, "Is anyone home? Ryo-senpai, are you in there?" "Just a moment!"

Hearing Kuronuma Kiba's anxious voice coming from inside the classroom, Toyama Chitose and Shinkai Shiona exchanged glances, neither of them understanding what was going on.

Shinkai Shiona immediately turned her face to the side, lifted her long, loose hair, and pressed her ear tightly against the door.

"Senior Liang, are you sure 5 minutes is enough?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that I feel you're underestimating me a bit."

"Okay, come on."

Upon hearing Kuronuma Kiba and Hatsushino Ryo's voices, Shinkai Shiona's eyes widened, a deep blackness swirling in her turquoise eyes, while her innocent face gradually flushed red.

"What happened?" Chitose Toyama asked, her arms crossed over her chest, her brows furrowed.

Seeing Shinkai Shiona raise her index finger to her lips in a shushing gesture, she curiously pressed her ear against it, a hint of murderous intent emanating from her crystalline purple eyes.

No wonder Hatsushino Ryo didn't reply to messages all morning; she was actually in her club with the man she liked.
Okay, Kuronuma Kiba is now Hatsushino Ryo's boyfriend.

Even more angry!

Thinking of this, Toyama Chitose gritted her teeth, and a violent aura swept through the corridor.

The chilling atmosphere stung her skin, but Shiona's eyes regained their clarity. She quickly pulled Chitose Toyama aside, away from the sinful club activity room.
"Senior, don't be angry. You said we could use the club activity room whenever we wanted."

"That's too much!" Toyama Chitose kicked the door, her eyes burning with fury that seemed enough to burn away the bond between childhood sweethearts.

First it was Momo Shirakawa, then Kanon Matsusaka, and now it's Ryo Hatsushino.

Who else is ahead of her in the list, Shin-chan?

"Senior, calm down, calm down!"

Shinkai Shionai put her arm around Toyama Chitose's arm from behind to prevent her from disturbing the two of them and affecting Kuronuma Kiba's impression of her: "There's nothing we can do about it, blame it on—"

Chitose Toyama turned around and glared at her fiercely. Shiona Shinkai racked her brains, trying to find someone to take the blame.

Shirakawa Momo is no good. She still wants to persuade Shirakawa Momo to return. No one in the band is good enough. Kuronuma Kiba hasn't done anything wrong.
In the end, Shinkai Shionai decided to take all the blame upon herself.

She bit her lower lip lightly, a clear light flashing in her emerald eyes, and said firmly, "Blame me if you must, I was the one who translated for Senior Liang back then."

"open."

Chitose Toyama wasn't about to hold a grudge against Shionai Shinai. After Shionai let go of her hand, she silently straightened the wrinkles in her clothes, occasionally casting a cold glance at the door.

The two waited silently in the corridor. After more than ten minutes, the door finally opened with a click.

As Kuronuma Kiba buttoned his shirt, he walked out of the mountaineering club and greeted the two with a smile: "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"My teeth are sweating a lot, I have a handkerchief here."

Shinkai Shiona leaned forward, took a handkerchief from her skirt pocket, and reached out to wipe his sweat: "There's air conditioning in the club, right? It's better to turn it on."

As she spoke, she secretly glanced into the club activity room, where Hatsushiro Ryo sat gracefully on the sofa, drinking lemon tea with a gentle expression and her wine-red eyes glistening with moisture.

"No need, I'll go back to the classroom to get my lunch first, you guys chat."

Kuronuma Kiba looked up and met Toyama Chitose's murderous gaze. He glanced at her purple hair tie that held her up in a single ponytail, and felt inexplicably guilty. He quickly fled, saying, "Goodbye, Senpai."

Chitose Toyama watched his hasty departure, gritted her teeth, and followed Shionai Shiona into the mountaineering club.

In the quiet classroom for club activities, a damp smell lingered under the cold white light.

She turned off the lights, drew back the heavy linen curtains, opened the windows to let in fresh air, and said coldly to Hatsushino Ryo, "I want to reform the band."

"." Hatsushiro Ryo swallowed a mouthful of lemon tea and nodded gently.

"That's great, Senior Ryo!"

Shinkai Shionai cheered excitedly, her emerald eyes sparkling, and sat down next to Hatsushika Ryo: "Hey, when did this happen? How did it feel? Um, Kiba."

"From today onwards, the mountaineering club is prohibited from discussing vulgar topics."

Chitose Toyama interrupted Shionai Shinai without hesitation, strode to the whiteboard in the corner, and erased the writing: "You are not allowed to do lewd things here either."

"." Hatsushiro Ryo looked up at her, expressing her dissatisfaction.

"Tao refused to reform the band."

Chitose Toyama changed the subject, then looked back and understood the meaning in Suzume Hatsushino's eyes. She clicked her tongue unhappily and said, "Tsk, let's not use the name of our previous activities anymore."

"What about the account?" Shinkai Shionai raised her hand to ask.

"Get a new social media account and register a new one."

After Toyama Chitose finished speaking, seeing Hatsushino Ryo shake her head and Shinkai Shiona hesitate with her head down, she also lowered her gaze to look at the words that had just been rewritten on the whiteboard.

[Love Trap]
Without Momo Shirakawa, the band is ultimately incomplete.

It's not just a matter of people; the time we spent together in the past wasn't faked, and those memories won't easily fade away.

"Let's think of a new name today."

Chitose Toyama wiped the whiteboard clean, wrote "Name?", turned to face the two, and forced herself to be alert: "Or do you want me to go and find Peach?"

She was the one who disbanded the band, so naturally she had to shoulder the responsibility.

Hatsushiro Ryo didn't want to force Toyama Chitose, so she didn't say anything, silently picked up the handheld game console that was lying on the coffee table, and turned on Pokémon.

"Please, senior."

Shinonome Shionai clasped her hands together in a pleading manner, her face earnest and her blue eyes filled with sincerity: "For me, a complete family is only one when everyone is together. I will help with anything that needs my help."

Although Chitose Toyama is violent, Momo Shirakawa always scolds her, and Ryo Hatsushino is cold and unapproachable, for Shiona Shinkai, the band is the only place that can truly be called "home".

"I understand. Anyway, let's start practicing. I'll contact the rehearsal room."

As she spoke, Chitose Toyama walked toward the door, her face cold and her tone stiff. "I'm going to talk to Momo and try to persuade her as much as possible."

I'm going back to get the bass.
Hatsushika Ryo conveyed this message to Shinkai Shiona with her eyes, got up and followed Toyama Chitose out of the mountaineering club, closing the door behind her.

Only Shinkai Shiona remained in the mountaineering club. She walked to the refrigerator, took out a can of orange juice, turned around and saw the stain on the sofa. Her emerald eyes lit up, and she carefully walked to the spot where Hatsushika Ryo had just sat.

After looking around and confirming that she was alone, Shinkai Shionai ran to the door, made sure the other two were far away, and then jogged back.

The delicate fingertips clearly felt the sticky texture, and specks of black appeared in her clear blue eyes.

After leaving the mountaineering club, Kuronuma Kiba went straight back to the classroom, intending to take his lunch to the rooftop to have lunch with Aizawa Tora and Ishiguro Go.

My girlfriend is terrifying.

Exhausted, I felt weak in every muscle and bone.

As Shirakawa Momo finished packing her lunchbox, she saw Kuronuma Kiba walk unsteadily into the classroom, his face showing obvious signs of exhaustion.

"Trash fish."

She muttered dismissively, a hint of heartache in her eyes, and said bluntly, "This is the karma that scumbags get."

"I just didn't sleep well last night." Kuronuma didn't feel like lecturing the cat for the moment. He took out a bento box from the desk drawer and prepared to leave.

As he approached the door, he saw Chitose Toyama walking towards him. Thinking she was chasing after him, Kiba Kuronuma retreated. Just then, he overheard Momo Shirakawa starting a conversation.

"Chitose wants to reform the band, but her family will definitely object."

"is it?"

Kuronuma Kiba glanced at Shirakawa Momo, wanting to tell her that Toyama Chitose was right there, but Shirakawa Momo was reading with her back to him and didn't see him at all.

She turned to a page with a folded corner in her book and continued softly, "You should know how rigid and conservative those people are."

"You want to help her?"

Kurogane Kiba stared at Toyama Chitose's cold gaze, then took a detour to the front door of the classroom: "Fine, add 10 more times, I'll take care of it."

"Too much."

Shirakawa Momo frowned and glanced at him, her delicate face showing a slight struggle: "I just don't want to hear her use her family's opposition as an excuse."

The cat was as awkward as ever, and even Kuronuma didn't know whether her relationship with Toyama Chitose was good or bad.

However, since she didn't refuse outright, it means that 10 times is not too many, and may even be a little too few.

Kuronuma was sincerely grateful to Matsusaka Kanon for telling him the important thing that "not refusing is agreeing."

“I’m very expensive.”

"We'll see when the time comes." Shirakawa Momo glanced at him disdainfully, then turned back to her book, a hint of excitement lurking in her eyes.

Kuronuma Kiba left smoothly through the front door of the classroom, turned around and looked down the corridor. After listening to the conversation between the two, Toyama Chitose left with a graceful and nimble gait, her long purple ponytail swaying gracefully behind her.

Their relationship is really complicated.

Kuronuma sighed to himself as he walked up the stairs to the rooftop of the teaching building, contemplating his situation.

Hatsushiro Ryo seems to be a bit obsessed. We need to find something for her to do to distract her. She spends most of her time on this kind of thing every day. Even a steely body can't take it.

He still needs to find a way to earn money to buy a house in Tokyo.

Speaking of which, when the two first started dating, Hatsushino Ryo proposed 100 things to do together, but progress seems a bit slow. They could use that as an excuse next time.

Pushing open the rooftop door, under the azure sky, Aizawa Tora and Ishiguro Go were sitting around a table and chairs that had been brought up, eating McDonald's.

The two had a rather luxurious lunch, with a full six cups of Coke and two gold-plated buckets. It seemed that Aizawa Tora really kept his word and used the money he had saved for the date to treat them to McDonald's.

"Brother, you are here!"

Upon seeing Kurogumu Kiba, Go Ishiguro raised his hand high and waved the collaboration toy in his hand: "You're included too. We're talking about the Tokyo gubernatorial election."

"You guys still care about this kind of thing?" Kuronuma Kiba sat down on an empty chair with his bento box and reached for a Big Mac.

"During this year's election, a woman took off her clothes during a speech and asked everyone if she was cute and sexy."

Aizawa Torata pulled out the video, shoved the phone in front of Kuronuma Kiba, and couldn't stop grinning: "There was another guy dressed as the Gotham Joker, who went up there and laughed like a maniac for three minutes, hehehehe."

The rooftop was filled with a cheerful atmosphere, and Kuroguma was certain that friendship was an indispensable part of his rosy youth.
