My love is abyss mode

Chapter 73 Cats and Morning Grumpiness
October 9th, Thursday, clear skies.

At six o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock I set on my phone went off right on time, its "buzzing" vibrating through the quiet apartment.

Shirakawa Momo got up, tidied her hair, changed into her new school uniform, and pulled her rolled-up black stockings up her toes, sliding them up her slender legs to cover her delicate skin.

After leaving the room and washing up in the bathroom, I went into the kitchen, picked up the apron hanging by the door, put it on, and started preparing breakfast for the three of us.

Two bento boxes are needed; the Hatsushino family will send an even more luxurious bento box to the academy at noon.

She enjoyed preparing breakfast for the three of them, which at least proved that her presence was not superfluous, and that sharing an apartment with Kuronuma Kiba and Hatsushino Ryo was a pleasant thing.

Unfortunately, this is not her home, Shirakawa Momo thought to herself.

After making breakfast, I arranged the seats on the table according to the three of us, took off my apron, and went to the hallway.

The first room on the left is her bedroom, the second is Hatsushino Ryo, and the last one is Kuronuma Kiba.

As she passed by Hatsushino Ryo's room, Shirakawa Momo raised her hand and knocked on the door. Then, standing in front of Kuronuma Kiba's room, she closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

We must keep our promise; hopefully he won't go too far.

With a prepared mindset, his open golden eyes shone with unwavering determination.

She turned the doorknob, gently pushed it open a crack, and quietly squeezed into the room before immediately closing the door.

Dark gray linen curtains hung straight down, and the knife hanging on the left wall reflected the morning light streaming in from the window. To the right was a full-wall bookshelf, with only the first shelf displaying her recommended books and a set of "The Angel."

Shirakawa Momo glanced disdainfully at the embarrassing figurine on the desk, resisting the urge to throw it in the trash, walked to the bedside, and leaned over to nudge Kuronuma Kiba's shoulder.

"Get up," she whispered.

"." Kuronuma Kiba lazily rolled over.

Breakfast is ready.

"."

"Ya, time to get up—oh no!"

Kuronuma Kiba pretended to turn over, quickly reached out and carried Shirakawa Momo to the bed, holding her tightly in his arms, with only a thin blanket between them.

"Tao, did I not tell you that I have a terrible temper when I wake up?" he asked with a smile.

Still reeling from the sudden dizziness, Shirakawa Momo grabbed the hands that were wrapped around her waist and struggled violently: "Let go of me, breakfast is going to get cold."

"It is too early."

Kuronuma Kiba lifted the blanket, rolled her up in it, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and glanced at the time displayed on the screen.

It was a little past 7 a.m.

"Tao, it only takes us 5 minutes to walk to the college, you know?" He put down his phone, wrapped the blanket in his arms, closed his eyes, and prepared to sleep a little longer.

Shirakawa Momo, who had been sealed by the blanket, was stunned for a moment. Remembering that she hadn't set her phone alarm last night, she stopped resisting.

There are blankets for protection, so it's okay to sleep in the same bed.

As she thought about it, she slowly closed her eyes, her delicate face softened, and her breathing gradually became even.

The tranquility was shattered by a knock on the door, waking the two from their deep sleep.

Shirakawa Momo hurriedly broke free of the covers, jumped out of bed, and straightened her school uniform. After checking it repeatedly, she lifted her sleeve and sniffed it, looking adorably guilty.

Kuronuma slowly sat up in bed. Seeing her panicked expression, a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Momo, I think you'd better get up early and come keep me company." Today was just the beginning.

Once she gets a little used to it, the two of them can bury themselves under the covers together, and then...
Habits are a terrible thing.

"Don't even think about it, you hopeless pest!"

Shirakawa Momo turned around and glared at him fiercely, her cold lips twitching slightly: "Get up and eat quickly, then go to the academy."

"Yes Yes."

Kuronuma gave a perfunctory reply, got up from the bed, changed into his school uniform, and walked out of the room with her.

At the dining table in the living room, Hatsushino Ryo had already finished breakfast and was working on her laptop with a blank expression.

In the bright sunlight, her short white hair seemed to be edged with gold, and her wine-red eyes were focused intently on the screen. As her fingertips clicked lightly, the mouse made a soft sound.

"Liang, good morning." Shirakawa Momo greeted her, then sat down across from her at the dining table with her head down, silently eating her cold breakfast.

"Good morning, Senior Liang."

Kuronuma pulled out a chair and sat down next to Hatsushino Ryo, greeting her with a frank expression: "Have you mentioned the study trip to you, senior? Our class is going to Izu."

Hatsushino Ryo turned to look at him, her pink lips moving slightly, but no sound came out. In the end, she picked up her phone next to the laptop and sent a message to Kuronuma Kiba.

[Hatsushiro: Takashi]
[Hatsushiro: Very busy with work, training trip, please take leave]
[Hatsushino: There is only one spot available]
"Okay, I'd also like to invite you to go to the hot springs together."

Kuronuma Kiba put down his phone, picked up a mouthful of rice with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth. His dark eyes, which were filled with a playful smile, looked at Shirakawa Momo: "Momo and I are just ordinary friends right now. We won't do anything out of line."

Seeing that he didn't seem to be lying, Hatsushino Ryo nodded slightly and continued working.

After breakfast, the three of them went out together, walking under the clear sky that resembled watercolor paints, stepping on the sun-drenched streets, and heading towards the college.

For the next two weeks, Kuronuma Fang repeated its simple yet interesting daily routine:

In the morning, I play with the cat to gradually lower her guard. After breakfast, I go to school with the young lady. During lunch break, I still have lunch with my two best friends. After school, I go home after finishing training at the Shinjuku Police Station. After dinner, I go for a night run with the cat and chat with the young lady while she takes a shower.

Chitose Toyama and Shiona Shinkai don't need him to take the initiative; they often appear in various places whenever they have a spare moment, even on weekends, and they frequently appear near the Shinjuku Police Station.

Kuronuma Fang gradually noticed subtle changes around him.

Momo Shirakawa, Shionai Shiona, and Chitose Toyama are wary of each other and each has their own agenda. Whenever any two of them meet near him, a tense atmosphere immediately fills the air.

Especially on weekends, if Shinkai Shiona and Toyama Chitose meet, even the trains on their way home are filled with a suffocating smell of gunpowder.

Momo Shirakawa was equally formidable. In order to prevent Kiba Kuronuma from resuming his love for swordsmanship, which he disliked, her sharp-tongued and sarcastic personality would always make Shiona Shinkai's smile freeze and Chitose Toyama clench her fists.

During this time together, Kuronuma Fang gradually gained a deeper understanding of the four band members, their personalities, hobbies, and where they would go when they were bored on weekends.
Thanks to his efforts, the blanket was no longer in the way when he cuddled the cat to sleep in the morning.

Although she still dresses neatly, the school uniform is also very beautiful, especially the black stockings, which feel great to the touch.

The only regret is that Hatsushino Ryo has never had time to go on dates with him. As the heiress of a conglomerate, she often takes time off work, and weekend dates are a luxury.

As the conflicts between Shirakawa Momo, Shinkai Shiona, and Toyama Chitose gradually accumulated, the time came for the training trip.

October 27th, the first day of the study tour.

After saying goodbye to Suzuka, Kiba Kuronuma and Momo Shirakawa dragged their suitcases and walked together to the academy.

Turn right at the intersection where the convenience store is located, and the gate of the private Qinglan Academy will come into view. Buses lined up along the roadside, humming softly, ready to head to different destinations.
