My love is abyss mode

Chapter 136 Camping at Mount Takao (3) (7K!)
The beef sizzled under the charcoal fire, while the potato slices and green peppers gradually turned a golden brown, filling the air with the aroma of the ingredients.

Shinonome Shionai stood beside Kiba Kuronuma, watching eagerly as the food on the grill began to look delicious, her turquoise eyes sparkling: "Hey, Kiba, can we eat now?"

"No."

"Mmm, it smells so good." She took a deep breath, raised her hand and gently rubbed her stomach, as if calculating how much longer she could hold on.

Under the awning behind the oven, Shirakawa Momo was still seriously thinking about her lyrics, while Toyama Chitose leaned back in her chair, flipping through manga.

The two of them, unusually, did not argue, and the atmosphere at the campsite was quite harmonious.

Just then, a rustling sound came from the bushes.

The four of them turned to look at each other at the same time. The timid Shionai clung tightly to Kuronuma Kiba's arm, her innocent face showing deep unease.

This is a forest on the mountain; who knows, some ferocious wild animals might suddenly appear.

Hatsushino Ryo, dragging a wild boar by one of its hind legs, emerged from the bushes and walked expressionlessly toward Kuronuma Fang, tossing the boar at his feet.

It appears she didn't use a bow and arrow; she knocked the wild boar unconscious with her bare hands.

"Senior Liang, you're amazing!"

Shinonome Shionai crouched down, poked the wild boar's face with her finger, and frowned as she asked, "Wild boars are so ugly, will they taste good?"

"The meat of this wild boar, which weighs over 200 jin (100 catties), is very dry and tough, and has a strong fishy and muttony smell."

Shirakawa Momo closed her notebook, got up and walked to the side of the wild boar, kicking it twice: "I suggest marinating it first to remove the fishy smell, and then stewing it for a long time."

Kuronuma nodded in agreement, then looked up at her and asked, "Do you have a knife? Slaughtering a wild boar should be similar to slaughtering a sheep, right?"

The advantage of having a ranch is that you can roast a whole lamb anytime, anywhere, and he has some minor experience in handling such large animals.

"Isn't this a protected animal?" Shinmi Shiona asked timidly.

"This is Tokyo. With Ryo here, there's no need to worry too much."

Shirakawa Momo glanced at Hatsushino Ryo, took out an outdoor knife from her suitcase and handed it to Kuronuma Kiba, saying calmly, "Besides, wild boar meat is said to be very nutritious. I'll grill the meat, and Kiba will process the wild boar."

"It's so bloody, I'd better help with grilling the meat." Shinkai Shionai covered her eyes with her hands, looking like she couldn't bear to watch.

"Liang, let's go."

Black Swamp Fang grabbed the wild boar's hind leg with one hand and twirled the knife in his other hand as he walked toward the woods behind the campsite, intending to find a secluded spot to deal with it.

Arriving at a clearing in the dense forest, Hatsushino Ryo stood to the side, watching him skillfully bleed the wild boar, and winked cutely: "Praise me."

"Impressive, it's amazing you were able to find the wild boar."

"I've always been lucky."

"Are you alright?" Kuronuma looked up at her, only to be met with a direct gaze from her wine-red eyes.

Amidst the swaying shadows of the trees, Hatsushiro Ryo watched him with a smile, her short white hair rising and falling slowly, her beautiful face not as stiff as usual.

"It's so much fun camping with everyone," she said in a voice as clear and pure as a breeze.

"I'm glad you like it." Kurozuma Fang smiled and continued processing the wild boar.

As expected, keeping Hatsushika Ryo with the band members was the right choice, further reducing the risk of her turning to the dark side.

If her hostile relationship with Shirakawa Momo can be eased, and feelings develop, it will simply happen naturally.

We must think of a way, even if it's just for ourselves.

As we all know, Xyz Summoning is really weak, Synchro Summoning is the strongest!

After dealing with the wild boar, we returned to the camp. Various kinds of roasted meats were already on the table. The five of us sat around under the sunshade and enjoyed a pleasant lunch together.

After tidying up the dining table, at Shirakawa Momo's suggestion, the group walked downhill along Route 3 to the hot spring at the foot of the mountain.

The sound of the wind rustling through the leaves and the melodious chirping of birds blended together. Occasionally, a few tourists would appear. Shinkai Shiona walked happily at the front, turning back from time to time to give the tourists a bright smile.

Going down the mountain was much easier than going up, and even though she was physically weak, she felt no burden at all.

"Look, what a beautiful bird!"

"The water is so clear!"

"That's an iris, I recognize it!"

Shinkai Shionai's lively and playful words enlivened the atmosphere, and she was quite happy even when no one paid attention to her.

Unbeknownst to them, the group emerged from the shadows cast by the woods and, led by Shinkai Shiona, arrived at [Gokurakuyu], a wooden hot spring facility.

As she walked through the gate, she turned to face the four people, patted her chest, and proudly boasted, "I booked a private rock bath, which comes from a deep spring 1000 meters underground."

Upon hearing this, Shirakawa Momo's face darkened, and she asked coldly, "You mean, you ordered a private bath?"

"correct."

Shinkai Shiona smiled and met her gaze, showing no sign of guilt: "Wouldn't it be nice if we all soaked in the hot spring together?"

“I have no objection.” A sly glint appeared in Chitose Toyama’s eyes; she had long anticipated that Shionai Shinai would cause trouble.

"..." Hatsushino Ryo didn't speak, her wine-red eyes looking at Shirakawa Momo with hostility.

While camping together can be fun, you have to be careful if it's a mixed-gender bathing area.

She silently approached Kuronuma, who was still unaware of what was happening, and grabbed his arm with both hands, determined not to leave his side.

"Is there a problem?" Kuronuma Fang asked.

"The minority obeys the majority, of course there is no problem."

Chitose Toyama patted Momo Shirakawa's shoulder, leaned close to her ear, and said with a mischievous smile, "If you don't like it, you can wait for us outside. I'll treat you to soba noodles."

Gokurakuyu is famous not only for its hot springs, but also for its soba noodles and yam puree, and it even has dedicated Japanese-style dining rooms.

Shirakawa Momo's lips twitched slightly as she slapped away Toyama Chitose's hand, turned to look at Kuronuma Kiba, and her golden eyes flashed with coldness: "Go soak first, we have something to say."

"That's strange." Kiba Kuronuma nodded to Shikano Ryo and went ahead to the hot spring with the help of the shop assistant.

His figure had just disappeared behind the curtain when a chilling aura suddenly erupted, colliding with a violent atmosphere and tearing apart the frozen air.

Shiona Shinkai hid behind Chitose Toyama, peeking out to meet Momo Shirakawa's sharp gaze, her tone still relaxed: "Momo, I don't think this is a good thing."

Shirakawa Momo gritted her teeth, her fingers clenching unconsciously, and turned to look at Hatsushika Ryo: "Ryo?"

"..." Hatsushino Ryo shook her head slightly. In her opinion, Shinkai Shionai posed no threat.

"It's just mixed bathing, I don't want to be isolated."

Seeing that Shionai Shiona had no objections to her arrangements, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her expression: "Besides, although I don't really understand it, I do like teeth."

“He doesn’t like you,” Shirakawa Momo said coldly.

"It's okay, even if Ya dislikes me a little bit, I won't refuse to bathe with a beautiful girl."

Shinai Shiona is very confident in her appearance, and unconsciously puffs out her chest to encourage herself: "Even though we're all rivals, it's better not to make things too awkward, okay?"

"Isn't fair competition a good thing? Momo, are you scared?" Chitose Toyama chimed in with a smile, secretly planning to use Shinkai Shionai to open up the situation.

Shinkai Shiona is at an even greater disadvantage than her, not to mention that with Matsuzaka Kanon around, there's no way anything can be made.

"Are you serious?"

Seeing the ambiguous attitude between Hatsushika Ryo and Toyama Chitose, Shirakawa Momo was in a terrible mood, and even her tone was a few degrees hoarseer than usual: "This is not fair competition. I suggest you give up on having such thoughts as soon as possible."

Hatsushika Ryo is the real girlfriend. No matter how many competitors there are, the final prize is just Matsuzaka Kanon's place.

Momo Shirakawa didn't have the presumptuous idea of ​​challenging Ryo Hatsushino; she was simply pursuing her dream. But Chitose Toyama and Shiona Shinkai clearly didn't think that way.

Chitose Toyama is ambitious, while Shionai Shinai is an idiot who is completely unaware of Hatsushino Ryo's unshakeable position.

I reject your suggestion.

Shinonome Shionai crossed her arms in front of her chest, making an "X" shape, and said in a serious tone, "I have my own thoughts too, and I'm not a puppet."

She believed that with Kanon Matsuzaka by her side, she would never lose.

"Heh, let's go."

Seeing that Shirakawa Momo was determined to go down the wrong path, she gave up on trying to persuade her and turned to walk towards the bath: "Chitose is using you."

Hatsushino Ryo followed behind Shirakawa Momo, her wine-red eyes fixed on her with a wary gaze.

"It's okay, Senior Chitose won't stop me, will she?"

"of course not."

Shinkai Shiona and Toyama Chitose walked behind the two, looking very close.

The four figures disappeared behind the curtain, and the hall remained silent, with only the clear echo of water hitting the stones.

The onlookers exchanged shocked glances—judging from the conversation between the four, they were competitors and were going to bathe together with the boy who left first.
Is there any justice left in this world?!

The envied Kuronuma was unaware of the mixed bathing arrangement. After changing his clothes in the changing room and wrapping a towel around his waist, he walked into the bath alone.

The clear pool water steams with white mist, and is surrounded by a tall, airtight bamboo fence. Leaning against the smooth rocks, soaking in the warm water, and looking up at the azure sky, one feels relaxed and at ease.

The only downside is that the hot spring is a bit small.

However, considering that it is not a public hot spring and the area is relatively small, it is understandable. It is still more comfortable than soaking in a men's bath full of people.

Shinkai is quite capable, Kuronuma thought to himself.

As he was enjoying the moment with his eyes closed, he heard the sound of a wooden sliding door sliding down. He opened his eyes and looked over, his gaze momentarily fixed.

White mist swirled around her perfect figure as Hatsushika Ryo stepped into the hot spring pool, her delicate leg skin rippling on the water's surface, and walked straight to her side.

She sat down against the rock, tilted her head to rest on her shoulder, and slowly closed her eyes.

The scent of damp roses wafted deep into his nostrils. Just as Kuronuma was about to speak, footsteps sounded again at the entrance to the hot spring.

What is this?

Amidst the rising steam, Shirakawa Momo's petite figure slowly approached, her delicate face covered with a layer of frost, even chilling the misty air.

The bath towel was a bit too big for her; although it was tied in front of her chest, the hem covered her knees, revealing only her slender shoulders and a section of her snow-white calves.

"Shionai-chan only booked this one bath," Shirakawa Momo explained coldly, stepping into the water and sitting opposite Kuronuma Kiba with her legs bent.

Three people were crammed into the small hot spring, the water sloshing and overflowing.

Well done!

Kuronuma silently gave Shinkai Shiona a thumbs up in his heart, and seeing Shirakawa Momo's delicate skin blush slightly, he hid his joy in his eyes: "It's normal to lack funds, right?"

"Ah, hopeless pests."

"It's not like I booked the hot spring."

"Xin Hai has ulterior motives towards you."

Shirakawa Momo crossed her arms over her chest, wrapped tightly in a bath towel, her golden eyes staring at him with a questioning gaze, looking as if she was about to breathe on him at any moment: "What do you think?"

Black Swamp Fang was certain that if he said the wrong thing, the cat would immediately pounce on him and scratch him.

Although Shinkai Shiona has a good figure, the most important thing right now is to repair her relationship with Shirakawa Momo, and absolutely not to provoke her further.

After a moment's hesitation, he chose to tell the truth.

"She has a good figure, but I don't really like her emotional personality, and I also dislike her clinginess. If I weren't considering Kanon, there's no reason not to take her if she were offered to me for free." After all, Shinkai Shiona is the socialite of the private Seiran Academy. Just looking at her appearance, she's not only beautiful, but she also has a lot of great advantages.

As for personality, one can educate them personally.

Seeing Shirakawa Momo's lips gradually turn down, her eyes filled with displeasure, Kuronuma Kiba's lips curled into a wicked smile, and he raised his hand to rub her head: "I will also consider your feelings."

"whispering sound."

Shirakawa Momo turned her face to the side, refusing to look at him, and swatted away the wet hand on her head: "That's just nice talk, it's all your own consideration in the end."

"I'm boxing for you too." Kuronuma Kiba's gaze shifted downwards, landing on her delicate collarbone.

The bath towel below created a slightly raised, youthful curve, not as shapely as Chu Luye's, but possessing a unique charm.

"Teeth, that's going too far."

Hearing Hatsushino Ryo's emotionless voice, Kuronuma Kiba paused for a moment, turned to look at her, and swallowed nervously.

Black mist was visibly swirling in Hatsushiro Ryo's wine-red eyes.

It seems I've gotten a little too carried away?
It's definitely better not to flirt with other people in front of your girlfriend. You absolutely can't let her turn to the dark side, or your dreams will surely be shattered.

Kuronuma Kiba racked his brains trying to keep Hatsushino Ryo in check, while Shirakawa Momo watched coldly. Just then, Shinobu Shionai, who had wrapped her hair in a bath cap, and Toyama Chitose walked towards the hot spring pool.

Chitose Toyama chose the position between Momo Shirakawa and Ryo Hatsushino, leaving the advantageous position on the other side of Kiba Kuronuma to Shiona Shinkai.

Five people were crammed into a small hot spring, their legs inevitably rubbing against each other, making it impossible to tell who was who.

Shinkai Shionai's shoulder was pressed tightly against Kuronuma Kiba's arm, the soft, smooth skin sending a warm sensation through her, and her voluptuous, full curves squeezed into view, seemingly trying to break free from the restraints of the bath towel.

A sliver of snow-white fabric trembled and spilled out of the bath towel. Seeing that Kuronuma Kiba's gaze was drawn to it, Shirakawa Momo's lips curled into a faint, cold smile.

"Ha, scum."

“This is a man’s physiological limitation.” Kuronuma Fang looked away and saw a pair of long, shapely legs through the clear water.

In terms of the lower half of her body alone, Chitose Toyama is in no way inferior to Ryo Hatsukano; her straight legs and elegant curves are truly alluring.

Shirakawa Momo's gaze followed Kuronuma Kiba's. Seeing his weak will and easy temptation by beauty, she gritted her teeth in resentment: "Ryo, you heard that. He has limitations, and they are significant."

Hatsushika Ryo nodded thoughtfully and raised her hand to cover Kuronuma Kiba's eyes.

Momoshiro reminded her that even if Shina Shinkai and Chitose Toyama posed no threat, she still needed to be cautious, as there was only one Kurosuma Fang, and it would be troublesome if the food was stolen.

"Momo, you've done so many bad things!" Kuronuma Kiba raised his hands in surrender, not daring to resist.

Before trying to calm down Hatsushino Ryo, it's best to play it safe.

But his inaction doesn't mean that others don't have their own thoughts.

"Junior, speaking of which, your senior forgot to give you a treat recently."

With a mischievous grin, Toyama Chitose moved her beautiful legs, her delicate feet stepping onto Kuronuma Kiba's bath towel, sliding nimbly between the fabric and her skin like a fish: "Would you like your senior to help you relax tonight?"

"Go away!"

Shirakawa Momo raised her foot to block Toyama Chitose, her usually quiet voice carrying a hint of reprimand: "It's not your turn no matter what."

"I've already made plans with my junior to read comics together tonight."

Toyama Chitose narrowed her beautiful eyes slightly, a sly look appearing at the corners of her upturned eyes: "A woman with a poor figure who steals fish has no right to criticize others."

"Is the Toyama family's tradition to be all lovey-dovey with other people's boyfriends?" Shirakawa Momo retorted without any politeness.

At least she has the right to be close to Kuronuma Kiba, but what gives Chitose Toyama the right?
Even if you admire or like someone, you should still consider morality.

Seeing the sparks fly between Shirakawa Momo and Toyama Chitose, Shina Shinkai was torn between "easing the tension" and "joining the fight."

She genuinely didn't want to see the band, which had finally managed to reunite, become stiff and disband again, but her racing heart wouldn't lie; now didn't seem like the time to worry about the band.

"Well, I think it's better to let the teeth choose for themselves."

She hugged Kuronuma Kiba's arm, her plump flesh rubbing against him as she asked in a soft voice, "What do you think, Kiba? Just so you know, if Kiba and Chitose-senpai have an ambiguous relationship, Kanon-nee will be very upset."

Shinkai Shiona is clumsy, but learning seduction is not difficult for her, who is exceptionally gifted.

After losing sight, other senses become exceptionally prominent.

The warm pool water rippled against my chest as Shirakawa Momo and Toyama Chitose's legs swayed and fought; the damp scent of roses around me was alluring; a surge of sensation came from my arm, and the sweet, soft voice was almost dripping wet.

Black Numa had a few black lines appear on his forehead, unable to understand why Toyama Chitose suddenly wanted to provoke Hatsushino Ryo.

It's really baffling.

However, the current situation is indeed a bit troublesome.

Having already agreed to meet with Toyama Chitose that evening, Shirakawa Momo had to consider her feelings, while Hatsushika Ryo, who was beside her, was on the verge of turning evil, and Shinkai Shiona also stupidly interrupted.

Mixed-gender hot spring bathing is completely different from what I imagined.

Let's change the subject.

Kuronuma leaned back, affectionately wrapping his arm around Hatsushino Ryo's slender waist, and sighed deeply: "Although I have little resistance to beautiful women, we're not allowed to do anything lewd on this camping trip, right?"

Their argument was completely pointless, and if anything, Chitose Toyama's talk of "relaxation" wasn't anything serious.

Senior students are always stingy with their perks, so they're not worth expecting.

She's not as good as Hatsushino Ryo. She doesn't like being restricted, which means she doesn't wear underwear, socks, or shoes. Right now, she's not wearing a towel either, so it's very comfortable for them to hug and cuddle.

The most real thing is what you eat; I almost got tricked by the cunning senior again.

Thinking this through, Kuronuma Fang nodded in self-approval.

Hearing this, the others were not surprised at all. He had always had this "bad" personality, and you couldn't be moved without real benefits.

"The rules are null and void." Shirakawa Momo glanced at him disdainfully. Kuronuma Kiba's lack of denial of Toyama Chitose's words already spoke volumes.

That scumbag actually plans to secretly meet with Chitose Toyama tonight.

She couldn't just sit and wait to die. It was fine to hope that Kuronuma would fulfill her dream, but before that, he would definitely be philandering.

Cat Cat faced reality and glared at Black Swamp Fang with displeasure in her golden eyes: "I'll be frank, I don't like bad women, I absolutely cannot accept them."

"Junior, I've already told you about Momo." Toyama Chitose said lazily, her purple eyes glancing at Shirakawa Momo with disgust.

"Hmm~ Actually, I don't mind."

Shinonome Shionai bit her lower lip, thought for a moment, then quietly moved closer to Kiba Kuronuma and said in a troubled tone, "It would be best if Kiba would call me by my name."

Seeing that the three of them made no attempt to hide their thoughts, Hatsushika Ryo removed his hand from Kuronuma Kiba's eyes, stood up from the hot spring, and looked down at them from above.

Even if you don't want to speak, you have to make your stance clear.

With his girlfriends around, they dared to openly seduce, tempt, and tease Kuronuma. Hatsushika Ryo could hardly imagine how much food would be lost if he weren't there.

There are no spots available.

Hatsushino Ryo spoke in a completely emotionless voice, paused for a moment, and then asserted her dominance: "The tooth is mine."

The air suddenly fell silent. Kuronuma Kiba looked up at Hatsushino Ryo, not expecting her to speak so suddenly.

It seems that facing three people at the same time, the young lady really felt a sense of urgency and pressure.

Chitose Toyama and Shionai Shinai were also quite surprised, staring blankly at Ryo Hatsushino. Because they hadn't heard the young lady speak for so long, the two had long forgotten her voice.

"Senior Liang"

Shionai hesitated for a moment, then raised her clenched fist and made a firm decision: "I'm sorry, Ryo-senpai, I can't live without teeth."

"shut up."

Chitose Toyama glared fiercely at the ignorant Shionai Shiona, then stood up to face Ryo Hatsushino, water droplets running down her heavy, soaked bath towel: "Ryo, I can give up for now tonight, but I won't give up."

Hatsushino Ryo finally spoke up after a long time, and his childhood friend gave him plenty of face.

"." Hatsushino Ryo nodded slightly, glanced at Shirakawa Momo, and stepped away from the hot spring.

Kuronuma watched her figure disappear into the mist, then closed his eyes and sighed sadly, "I really don't understand what you're arguing about."

Seeing his displeasure, Shionai Niimi's heart tightened instantly, and she quickly explained, "Um, I... I just, I wanted to—"

"It has nothing to do with you."

Kiba Kuronuma turned to look at Shionai Shinkai, a cold glint in his eyes, and frowned as he said, "Shionai, now that the band has reformed, cherish it."

"Teeth, I—"

"To be honest, there's really nothing about you that appeals to me."

"I'm sorry." Shinkai Shionai's moist pink lips moved slightly, and in the end she could only say the words of apology before bowing her head deeply.

Kuronuma Kiba was really annoyed by her. Fortunately, Hatsushino Ryo didn't take Shinkai Shiona seriously, otherwise she would have been even more upset.

He got up from the hot spring, looked at the fiercely determined Toyama Chitose, and felt a mix of emotions.

"Senior, let me be frank, I can't abandon Ryo, and you have no need to provoke her."

Ignoring Chitose Toyama's expression, Kiba Kuronuma stepped out of the hot spring, grabbed Momo Shirakawa by the back of the neck, and made no attempt to hide his favoritism: "You've become more frank, haven't you? I thought you would pretend not to care. But, I won't play with you tonight."

"Tch." Shirakawa Momo shook off his hand and looked toward the smooth rock beside her.

"I'm leaving now, be careful not to get dizzy from the water." Kuronuma Kiba withdrew his hand and strode after Hatsushino Ryo.

In his view, there are only two most important things now: to give Hatsushino Ryo some feelings and to give Shirakawa Momo a warm home. These are responsibilities that must be borne.

As for their relationship, we'll consider that later.

In comparison, Chitose Toyama's matter is not even on the agenda, and Shionai Shinai is even worse. Why does she have to stick to it?
After Kuronuma left, Toyama Chitose sat back down in the pond, a cunning smile on her alluring face.

Kuronuma Kiba's reaction was exactly what she expected. Shinkai Shiona posed no threat and could be used without worry. As for her statement that she "would not abandon Hatsushika Ryo," there was no need to care.

Chitose Toyama never intended for him to abandon Ryo Hatsushino. She had seen the changes in her childhood friend, which was undoubtedly a good thing, but the dominant roles needed to be reversed.

These days, she has prepared a foolproof plan and is absolutely certain that she will succeed in taking the position.

Shirakawa Momo bent her knees, hugged her legs, and sat in the hot spring. A trace of pity flashed in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Shinkai Shiona, but it disappeared in an instant.

She didn't intend to compete with Hatsushino Ryo, but she had a dream that she absolutely couldn't give up.

Compared to the ambitious Chitose Toyama, Neko only wanted to maintain the status quo, and even considered coexisting peacefully with Kanon Matsuzaka while holding her nose—as long as she could realize her dream.

After all, Kuronuma is a womanizing scumbag and must be kept under strict control. Even if he doesn't like it, there should be no compromise on this aspect.

In the tranquil hot spring pool, Shinkai Shiona was melancholy, her emerald eyes filled with a deep blackness.

She slowly lowered her body until half of her head was submerged in the pool water, with her nose just above the surface so as not to affect her breathing.

Why does Ya treat me this way?

No matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't figure it out. Matsuzaka Kanon stopped her from going to cheer, and Shirakawa Momo and Toyama Chitose were both enemies.

There was no one she could consult, confide in, or get advice from.

After many years, she once again experienced the feeling of isolation and helplessness. The world in Shinkai Shiona's eyes gradually faded, and her already emotional and extreme personality came into play.

There's really nothing about you that appeals to me.
Kuronuma's voice echoed in her ears in a daze. Shiona Shinkai pondered the words repeatedly until her bright blue eyes turned completely gloomy. Only then did she support her weak legs and stand up unsteadily.

It must be because I wasn't sincere enough, and the tooth didn't feel my sincerity, that's why it said such things.
