My love is abyss mode

Chapter 81 Prank

Under the cobalt blue sky, sunlight danced on the ripples of the sea, each wave as crystalline as a jelly sprinkled with sugar.

Kuronuma Kiba and Hatsushino Ryo stood side by side in the sea breeze, the sound of bells ringing out, a touching scene, yet there was no romantic atmosphere in the air.

The temporary shrine maiden handed the two a pre-prepared "Declaration of Love" certificate, full of ritualistic significance. However, neither of them was moved, and not a single wavering expression appeared on their faces.

On the way back along the trail, we still didn't encounter any deer or wild boars.

While waiting for the bus to Koganezaki at Koibito-saki Station, Kuronuma Kiba saw Hatsushika Ryo's delicate face for the second time.

She looked at the messages left by other lovers on the wall of the small wooden house at the bus stop, a sense of loss appearing in her wine-red eyes, and her lips were downturned, giving people a very distressed feeling.

"Sorry, the date was boring."

Even a normally clear voice can be tinged with sorrow.

Kuronuma raised his hand and ruffled her hair, his gaze sweeping over the writing on the wall that recorded the date and name, and softly comforted her, "It's okay, the view from the observation deck is beautiful."

There are blue skies, the sea, and forests, as well as a carefully prepared ceremony.

Although the romantic atmosphere and rosy filter were missing, it was clear that they had put a lot of effort into the preparation.

"If there are wild boars, I won't be bored."

Hatsushino Ryo was still thinking about the wild boar, her eyes gradually dimming: "It was just a normal date, it was my fault."

"Compared to Ryo-senpai, I did nothing, so I'm even worse, right?" Kuronuma Kiba opened his arms and hugged her, gently patting her back to comfort her.

Try harder next time.

"Okay, at least we've accomplished two things today: making breakfast for each other and going to the hot springs together."

"There are still 97 things to do together."

Hatsushiro Ryo lay on his chest, her sad and heartbroken expression gradually softening, the dissatisfaction in her eyes fading, and finally she returned to being an expressionless young lady.

As the two were embracing, they suddenly heard a soft "click" from a DSLR camera, and the flash went off in the corner of their eye.

Kuronuma turned his head alertly, his black eyes piercing through the girl on the roadside with a cold gaze.

"Oh, sorry, I took the photo without permission."

Noticing his gaze, the girl jogged over to the two of them and showed them the photos she had just taken: "My name is Kawamura Mari, and I'm a travel blogger. The composition of those photos was so good that I couldn't resist taking them."

In the photo, under a painted wooden pointed-roof house, Kuronuma Kiba and Hatsushino Ryo embrace, with the pink "Lovers' Cape" bus stop sign on one side adding to the sweetness.

As expected of a travel blogger, her photography skills are quite impressive.

"Could you two cooperate with me to film a video? In return, I can take photos for you."

Kawamura Mari clasped her hands together in prayer before her eyes. For a blogger like her, finding suitable material is quite difficult.

Kuronuma looked her up and down with a scrutinizing gaze, noting from bottom to top her dirty hiking boots, khaki casual pants, and a pink and white plaid shirt.

The hiking backpack on his back was stuffed full, which is exactly what a blogger on social media should look like.

“This is my account, I have 20 followers.” Seeing his skepticism, Kawamura Mari took out her phone and opened her profile to prove her identity.

Kurogane Kiba turned to look at Hatsushino Ryo, asking for her opinion.

When there are outsiders present, she will not speak, but will nod slightly to indicate her attitude.

“I don’t think it’s appropriate; your identity is rather sensitive.”

Kuronuma Kiba shook his head, rejecting Hatsushino Ryo's suggestion. He guessed she probably just wanted to take couple photos, so he took out his wallet, counted out ten 10 yen bills, and handed them to Kawamura Mari.

"It's fine if you become the subject of our photos, but we're going to Koganezaki next, and we'd like to ask you to take some photos for us. This is our payment."

"So many?"

Kawamura Mari took the banknotes, carefully counted them with both hands, her eyes shining, and asked in an incredulous tone, "All you need me to do is take pictures of these?"

“That’s right.” “I’m not a professional photographer, is that alright?”

"Just accept it if I give it to you."

Kuronuma Kiba waved his hand casually. He and Hatsushino Ryo's time was precious, and it was not worth taking time out of their schedules for a couple's photoshoot. They might as well take advantage of their date today to do the photoshoot.

"Please leave it to me with confidence!"

Kawamura Mari haphazardly stuffed the banknotes into her casual pants pocket, confidently promising, "I'll definitely take the most atmospheric photos without disturbing your date!"

As she spoke, she turned off all the equipment used for filming, leaving only a DSLR camera in her hand, her face resolute like that of a hero saving the world.

Becoming a travel blogger is about making money, but none of those advertisers are as wealthy and powerful as these two.

Hatsushino Ryo had no objection to Kuronuma Kiba's arrangement, tugged at his sleeve, and took out her phone to send a message.

[Hatsushika: I'm not good at making expressions, they might look bad.]
"It's ok."

Kuronuma Kiba reached out and ruffled her hair, then asked Kawamura Mari, "Ms. Kawamura, my girlfriend is emotionless and has no personality traits. Do you have any good suggestions regarding taking photos?"

"Hey, is it a three-nothing (no name, no address, no license)?"

Kawamura Mari looked surprised and stared intently at Hatsushino Ryo for a while. Seeing that she really had no expression, she said somewhat awkwardly, "How about we try the movements?"

"action?"

Kuronuma Kiba turned to look at Hatsushino Ryo, and seeing her resting her chin on her hand in deep thought, decisively suggested, "Let's take a picture first to see how it goes."

“Then I’m going to get ready to take pictures~” Kawamura Mari took a few steps back, raised her camera and aimed it at the two of them.

Click.

Before Kuronuma could react, she had already pressed the shutter button. After glancing at the photo, she excitedly ran back to the two of them: "The result is fantastic!"

In the still image captured by the camera, Hatsushiro Ryo raises her hands expressionlessly, making a "V" sign with her index and middle fingers, and making rabbit ear shapes on her head, which is very cute.

Kuronuma Kiba took the camera, held the photo up next to Hatsushino Ryo, and carefully compared it with her current appearance.

She seems even cuter now.

He returned the camera to Kawamura Mari, took Hatsushino Ryo's hand, and stood by the roadside waiting for the bus: "I'm entrusting the couple's photoshoot to you. If it goes well, I'll give you an extra bonus."

"Yes!!!"

Kawamura Mari retrieved her camera and immediately stepped aside, keeping her distance from the two, ready to capture any sweet moments between Kuronuma Kiba and Hatsushino Ryo.

The sounds of insects filled the grass. Kurouma Kiba stood by the roadside, holding Hatsushino Ryo's hand. The soft, boneless touch was irresistible.

Thinking of the adorable actions of Hatsushika Ryo in the photo just now, he had an inexplicable and subtle feeling: "Ryo-senpai, she can't hear you now."

"Ah."

"Was that rabbit-handed hand you just now really you?"

"Ah."

As soon as she finished speaking, Hatsushino Ryo suddenly shook off Kuronuma Kiba's hand and raised one hand above his head to make a "V" sign.

Kuronuma Kiba subconsciously turned his head and saw her expression for the third time.

Her short white hair rose and fell slowly in the autumn breeze, a hint of joy flashed in her wine-red eyes, and the corners of her mouth naturally curved into a mischievous smile.

Sweet, clear, and as captivating as a flower in the wind.

Kuronuma Kiba recalled early winter in Hokkaido, when pure white snowflakes drifted down from the clear blue sky, and snowflakes danced in the bright sunshine.

In the moment the photo was captured, the smile faded from Hatsushino Ryo's perfect face, leaving only a distant look of indifference to everything.

"The bus is here." She took Kuronuma's hand again, her wine-red eyes looking with a smile in the direction the bus was coming from.
