Chapter 93 The Happy Puppy May Not Be Really Happy

Kuronuma Kiba slept in bed until he naturally woke up, without waiting for Shirakawa Momo to come and wake him up.

The bright morning sunlight streamed through the window, warming his cheeks. He tossed and turned in bed, finally deciding to pick up his phone and call for his cat.

[Kuronuma: Aren't you going to wake me up?]
The message showed as read immediately after being sent, but I didn't receive a reply for several minutes.

Does the cat want to go on strike?
Not allowed.

Kuronuma Kiba threw off the covers, got up, grabbed the neatly folded clothes beside him, put them on, and walked towards the door, just in time to hear a "knock knock" on the door.

The cat is still quite sensible.

Upon opening the door, one is greeted by Shinkai Shiona's pure and innocent face. Her chestnut-colored long hair is tied into low pigtails and draped obediently over her shoulders. Her bright and enthusiastic smile is reminiscent of summer fireworks bursting into the sky.

"Good morning, Ya!"

A long-lost form of address.

Kuronuma Kiba opened the door completely, looked around the corridor, but didn't see Shirakawa Momo's petite figure. His gaze then fell back on Shinkai Shiona's turquoise eyes.

"Where's Tao?" he asked softly.

Now that Matsuzaka Kanon has already paid the price, there's no need to be cold to Shinkai Shiona. You have to consider her feelings.

"You're not up yet? I just woke up too."

Shinkai Shionai took two steps back, put her hands behind her back, and showed him her outfit for the day, smiling as she said, "I heard from my sister that Ya needs to see me today, so I specially put together this outfit. I definitely won't embarrass you. Here you go?"

A brown plaid sweater accentuates a voluptuous figure, while a white tulip skirt covers the knees, revealing straight calves below. Paired with brown canvas sneakers and white ankle socks, a pure and beautiful young woman with youthful energy is born.

However, this statement seems somewhat strange.

Kuronuma looked up and gazed into her emerald eyes. After a moment's thought, he frowned and asked, "Don't you know where we're going today?"

Did Ya tell me?

"Don't you remember what happened yesterday?"

"Yesterday?" Shinkai Shiona tilted her head, looking puzzled, her brows furrowed in distress, her emerald eyes sparkling with clear foolishness.

Under Kiba Kuronuma's silent gaze, she suddenly seemed to remember something, raised her hands and patted her chest lightly, and said with a sweet voice, "I've got it! Nikaido asked me for Kiba's autograph."

Then, Shinkai Shionai waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to worry about it: "This kind of thing happens all the time. I usually just say I forgot about it, Ya, don't worry about it."

"And then?" Kuronuma Fang asked.

"I forgot."

"Otani Sasa".

“I said I’ve forgotten!” Shinkai Shionai took two steps forward, getting close to him, raising her face to reveal a gloomy expression, her slightly upturned eyes giving off a terrifying feeling.

She grabbed Kuronuma's hand, placed it on the chest of his tight sweater, pressed it down twice, and asked impatiently, "Is this enough? The price for keeping this a secret is that you're not allowed to mention it again."

Yesterday's disgraceful behavior must not be known to anyone else.

The price Matsuzaka Kanon paid did not include keeping secrets; she hoped that Shinkai Shiona could learn to face reality.

"I thought you really didn't know our destination today."

Kuronuma withdrew his hand, stepped towards the next room, and as he raised his hand to knock on the door, he said to Shiona Shinkai behind him, "Wait for me for a moment."

He was a little worried about Shirakawa Momo. Judging from "Toyama Chitose's evaluation of Matsusaka Kanon" and "there was no cat wake-up service today," the way Matsusaka Kanon obtained Shirakawa Momo's consent yesterday might have been unconventional.

I knocked on the door three times, but there was no response from inside.

Kuronuma Kiba turned the doorknob and pushed open the door. A slightly chilly breeze rushed in, along with Shirakawa Momo's indifferent voice.

"Get out."

"You promised to wake me up, right?"

He looked in the direction the sound came from. In front of the low wooden table facing the door, Shirakawa Momo was kneeling on the tatami, her hands supporting her on the table, studying a magazine intently, with various magazines piled up like a small mountain beside her.

She raised her hand to brush a stray strand of short hair from her ear, turned her head and glared at her, her delicate face full of displeasure: "Let Matsuzaka Kanon wake you up, I'm just temporarily paying the price for her." That's true in theory, but the cat was clearly jealous.

The fact that he was only treated this coldly, without being ignored, was already beyond Black Swamp Fang's expectations.

Speaking of which, although Shirakawa Momo has an awkward personality, she is much stronger than the fragile, stupid dog.

After all, she was someone who had managed to escape the mire on her own, and she wouldn't be easily defeated by Matsuzaka Kanon.

"Angry?"

Kuronuma walked over to her, picked up a magazine from the pile, flipped through a couple of pages, and finally looked at the cover.

I borrowed an outdated shogi magazine from a nearby bookstore; the cover featured a photo of Riri Nobi playing a dan-ranking match.

"No." Shirakawa Momo replied immediately in a cold voice, her tone as if she had sliced ​​a watermelon into two semicircles.

"You promised not to be stubborn in front of me." Kuronuma Kiba put down the magazine and picked up a new one, a Go magazine, with a stranger on the cover.

"I've already said I wouldn't lie to you. Getting angry won't help, so let's solve the problem instead."

Shirakawa Momo glanced at him, got up from her position lying on the low wooden table, stood up to face Kuronuma Kiba, and looked up to meet his gaze: "It's my own problem. I deeply reflected on the lessons learned last night."

"What?" Kuronuma Kiba asked with a smile, a hint of surprise in his eyes.

If the cat can recognize its own awkwardness and abandon its principles, that would be the best outcome.

"I will defeat you."

As she said this, Shirakawa Momo's eyes shone like gold, brimming with fighting spirit.

With a cold expression, she slowly raised her hand, straightened her arm, and pointed her delicate fingertips at Kuronuma's nose, her petite figure exuding a chilling aura:

"If I defeat you, you'll accept my terms, right?"

Shirakawa Momo realized that her biggest problem was not having a suitable stance. If she could defeat Kuronuma Kiba, she could legitimately make her demands, and driving Matsuzaka Kanon away would not be a problem.

She couldn't compete with him in terms of physical ability, so she started studying intellectual games, such as chess.

The cat's attitude is quite subtle—Kuronuma Fang raised his hand and rubbed her head, finding that the cat seemed even cuter today than yesterday.

"That's true, but you haven't helped me defeat Senior Ryo yet."

Hearing him say that, Shirakawa Momo slapped his hand away, turned her face to the side, looked at the magazine spread out on the table, and said with a slight twitch at the corner of her mouth: "I can do two things at the same time."

"Okay, do you have an equal amount of leverage?"

Kuronuma grabbed her by the back of the neck, pulled her into his arms, and a wicked smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "You still owe me 3 times. The more you owe, the more you owe, and you don't pay back. I'll be very troubled."

"let go!"

"How about I talk to Senior Liang and ask if you can pay off your debts first?"

"No! Let me go!" Shirakawa Momo struggled violently, pushing against his chest with both hands, her lips pressed tightly together.

We absolutely cannot agree to such a thing, not even as a bargaining chip.

Otherwise, what did last night mean?
The sunk costs are too high; by then, my nose will definitely turn into a round, red thing.

"I haven't decided yet, but I'll beat you."

Seeing that her delicate face still had lingering redness around her eyes, Kuronuma released his grip, his black eyes watching Shirakawa Momo hide behind the low wooden table with a playful look.

"Okay, remember to make an appointment. If you beg me then, I might soften my heart."

"Don't think about it!"

"I'm going to Minami-Izu with Shinkai-kun today, want to come along?"

"I'm not going." Shirakawa Momo frowned in displeasure, but considering that this might be Matsuzaka Kanon's condition, she didn't try to stop her.

"Okay, I'll buy you some desserts if we come across one." Kuronuma glanced at the plastic box in the trash can, waved goodbye to her, and turned to leave the room.
