My love is abyss mode

Chapter 74 Departure: The Study Trip!
A continuous mass of gray clouds covered the Tokyo sky, with sunlight filtering through the gaps and the air filled with the acrid smell of car exhaust.

Kuronuma Kiba put his and Shirakawa Momo's suitcases into the bus's luggage compartment, greeted Inada Miyabi who was waiting by the bus, and stepped into the noisy carriage.

Because the sports festival was canceled recently, everyone's enthusiasm for the study trip was quite high. Several small groups gathered in the car early and chatted about topics that interested them.

"Hey, Tooth! Come on over here."

Aizawa Tora, sitting in the last row of five seats, raised his handheld game console high. Seeing Shirakawa Momo following behind Kuronuma Kiba, he wisely chose to keep quiet.

"Don't disturb my elder brother."

Go Ishiguro immediately pressed Aizawa Tora's head down and whispered, "We will have the honor of witnessing a legend!"

Because Kuronuma Kiba goes to school with Shirakawa Momo and Hatsushino Ryo every day, Toyama Chitose openly declares her intention to pursue him, and Shinkai Shiona is always sticking to his side.

The prettiest girls in the college surrounded him, and many people were curious about what he could actually do, much like the excitement of watching their favorite soccer star participate in the World Cup final.

Aizawa Tora and Ishiguro Go were even more enthusiastic fans, waiting to witness the moment of victory, popping champagne and shouting in celebration.

"Those two guys really love watching a show."

Kuronuma rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on. He walked to an empty double seat, sat down on the inside near the window, and looked out at the street scene.

Thinking that Chitose Toyama and Shiona Shinkai would appear one after the other later, he leaned his head against the car window and let out a helpless sigh.

The accommodation for the study tour was arranged for three people to share a room, but who would want to share a room with two men?

Kuronuma Kiba plans to book a room with a private hot spring bath at his own expense after arriving at the hotel, so that it will be convenient to train the cat in the morning.

The problem is that Hatsushino Ryo isn't participating in the training trip, and there might be some risks at night.

Hopefully, the three of them won't go too far.

He glanced at the seat beside him; Shirakawa Momo was leaning back in her chair, arms crossed, eyes closed, resting.

Her delicate face had a pale, almost cold skin, and her long, thin eyelashes trembled slightly. She pressed down on the corners of her mouth, exuding an aloofness that made people not want to get close. It seemed she was prepared to sleep all the way to her destination.

Good morning, everyone!

A cheerful greeting ignited the atmosphere inside the car. Shirakawa Momo suddenly opened her eyes, her golden eyes shooting a cold gaze toward the car door, her face filled with hostility.

Following her gaze, Kuronuma Kiba looked in the direction from which the sound came. Shinkai Shiona waved and greeted everyone with a bright smile.

The neat red bow at the collar of the white shirt exudes a bright and passionate aura.

"A question: When you think of Izu, what comes to mind?" she asked, placing her hand on her cheek in a cute pose.

"The Dancing Girl of Izu"

"spa!"

"Your Name."

"coastal!"

The carriage was filled with enthusiastic responses. As Shiona listened to the replies, she walked over to Momo Shirakawa, leaned close to Kiba Kuronuma, and asked with a smile and a questioning tone, "Where's Kuronuma-kun?"

Kuronuma turned to look out the car window, ignoring her.

Shirakawa Momo stared at the white shirt that was almost touching her face. The unflattering silhouette reminded her of something unpleasant, and her expression instantly turned icy.

"Get out of here, you filthy stupid dog."

The voice, almost devoid of warmth, concealed a hint of anger, like a glass that had been filled with hot water but was now filled with ice, threatening to shatter at any moment.

"Peach, I wasn't talking to you."

Shionami tilted her head and met Shirakawa Momo's gaze, her emerald eyes filled with undisguised mockery. She said lightly, "I have something very important to discuss with Kuronuma-kun. Could you please move aside?" "Are you an idiot who can't understand human speech? I've said it so many times!"

"It's not the kendo club."

"Tsk, it's hard to imagine that someone like you, who only knows how to flatter others, has anything of substance." Shirakawa Momo's lips relaxed slightly, and she closed her eyes again.

"Actually, there have been some bad rumors circulating in the academy lately about Kuronuma-kun. Do you need my help?"

Shionai straightened up, stretched, and slowly put her hands behind her back. She said to Kiba Kuronuma, "This has nothing to do with me. It's just that a lot of classmates think Kuronuma-kun is a jerk and have been talking about it."

She wasn't nervous at all; this time it really was Kuronuma's own problem.

Having a girlfriend and still appearing in public every day with Shirakawa Momo, it's no wonder his reputation suffers.

Already known for his "bad personality," Kuronuma Kiba doesn't care about the newly added "scumbag" label.

"No, thank you."

He gave a polite reply, then took out his phone to check the newly received messages.

[Hatsushiro: Study trip, sorry, I don't have time to spend with you]
[Hatsushino: I'll prepare well for our anniversary]
[Kuronuma: Let's fight again!]
[Hatsushino: Okay]
The training trip ended on the anniversary of Kuronuma Kiba and Hatsushino Ryo's one-month relationship.

He thoroughly analyzed the lessons learned from his previous failure and, through special training from the Shinjuku Police Station's section chiefs, made up for his shortcomings in reaction time and skills.

Now, Kuronuma Kiba is fully confident that he can defeat Hatsushino Ryo.

Shirakawa Momo said that she would grant any request as long as one could defeat her.

The plan to use Xyz Summoning is imperative!

"You can leave now." Shirakawa Momo coldly dismissed Shinkai Shionai, her fingers tapping restlessly on her arm.

"Hey~ let's chat a little longer."

"How about we talk about the time you were pushed down the stairs in elementary school?"

"Tao, you—"

Shinonome Shionai clenched her fists, revealing a ferocious expression, but instantly regained her bright smile, turned around and sat down on a seat on the other side of the aisle: "Never mind, I want to take a nap first."

She pressed her hands down on the hem of her skirt and sat down in the seat near the aisle. The car fell silent instantly, as if all sound had been sucked away by the air.

At the train door, a long, straight leg stepped onto the carriage, its shapely curves outlined by black velvet stockings. The gaze followed the hem of the skirt upwards, and the school badge on the chest of the white shirt shone with a unique golden luster.

"I am personally in charge of this study tour for Class 1 and Class 3."

Chitose Toyama brushed a strand of her long purple hair behind her ear, glanced around the car, suddenly smiled, and walked straight toward Kiba Kuronuma's seat. She stopped between Momo Shirakawa and Shiona Shinkai, her purple eyes fixed on Kiba Kuronuma.

The atmosphere instantly became tense. She had posted comments like "I will definitely get Black Swamp Fang" on the academy forum more than once. The silent classmates secretly peeked out, observing the battlefield with gossipy eyes.

Has the situation already turned out this bad before we've even set off?

Kuronuma felt a little uncomfortable with the gunpowder smell in the air, so he took the initiative to start a conversation and said to Toyama Chitose, "Senpai, if you're like this, I can only sit with Inada-sensei."

"good idea."

Toyama Chitose's lips curled into a sly smile as she glanced back and forth between Shirakawa Momo and Shinkai Shiona: "You go ahead, I'll take your seat."

Compared to launching an attack, defending against the other two is also quite important.

Kuronuma sighed helplessly, got up, squeezed out of his seat, crossed the aisle, and got off the bus to find Inada Miyabi.

Study tours are destined to be anything but peaceful.
