He held down Naruzawa Kaede's hand on her waist and stopped looking at Yamada Ryo.

She had already realized that the inability to make eye contact was not due to a lack of strategy, but rather because the other party was simply too shameless.

Yamada Ryo chuckled and said, "I actually tried being fed by Kaede back in Tokyo. And there are also dishes that Kaede cooks herself."

Bathed in sunlight, Yamada Ryo tossed her hair, her delicate skin accentuating her beauty, and her eyes gleamed with an inexplicable light.

She said, "Actually, Feng and I have been living together for a long time... You can ask Feng if you don't believe me."

Naruzawa Kaede: ......?

He looked to his left, then to his right, and Eliza's hand was already on his waist.

The two people watching him were no ordinary individuals.

This is not a restaurant, it's a battlefield.

"...Should I order you another one?"

"Okay, eat up..."

Yamada Ryo wiped his mouth and chuckled, "Hurry up and finish eating. At this time, we can still take a stroll along the river. The one behind the church is very pretty."

Chapter 22 Spring Day, Two Women, Outing, The Great Battlefield

Just like Yamada Ryo said, this place is beautiful.

Winchester boasts the largest Christian church, and even setting aside religious doctrines, its classical style is a feast for the eyes.

On the lawn outside the church, someone was playing guitar and sunbathing, while a melodious long saxophone tune came from the church's loudspeaker. Behind the church, the river was long, lush with greenery, and the sound of flowing water was gentle.

Occasionally, swans and ducks can be seen along the road.

The stream is clear, shallow, and wide, teeming with fish and people fishing.

Fishing gear can be obtained from the shops on the side of the church, where fishing rods are rented and bait and fish food are also provided.

Yamada Ryo looked rather hungry. He squatted down, his fingers already reaching for the fish food in the box.

You can't just eat this stuff.

Only when Mingze Feng took out the buttered bread he had bought elsewhere did he manage to stop her from trying to steal food from the fish.

The riverbanks are lined with lush greenery, and by following the locals, you can find a few fishing spots big enough for a few people to stand in. These spots weren't intentionally cleared out; they were simply leveled out due to the large number of visitors.

Naruzawa Kaede had no idea how to fish. However, Shimizu Eliza said it was okay. She baited the hook and told Naruzawa Kaede that all he had to do was cast the line.

This area has been used by locals for fishing.

The grass was lush and green. Standing on the bank, Mingze Feng cast his prepared baited hook into the river.

Yamada Ryo's gaze also fell into the river, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Is the fish that was brought up safe to eat?"

"You can grill it, but it won't taste very good. And lighting fires is prohibited nearby."

As Eliza Shimizu spoke, she crossed her arms and gazed at the shimmering river.

The April breeze carries a pleasant coolness.

These are the days spent strolling along the riverbank fishing...

Disputes can be put on hold for now.

Let's just get through this afternoon.

Ming Zefeng focused intently on fishing. When he cast his line for the first time, his eyes were fixed on the area between the fishing line and the water.

"..."

Yamada Ryo hesitated for a moment, then thought carefully and realized that river fish was not suitable for sashimi.

If he couldn't eat it, Yamada Ryo's interest would be halved.

She then asked, "So, if I release the fish after catching it, will I accumulate merit?"

"No, how should I put it..."

Eliza Shimizu: "I think your merits have already been wiped out the moment you think like that..."

"Oh, I should at least give it a try."

Yamada Ryo shuffled over, "Kaede, hurry up and bring the fish..."

Eliza Shimizu crossed her arms. Where would she find so many fish back then...

As they were talking, a force came from Mingze Feng's palm.

Slightly taken aback, Mingze Feng's eyes lit up.

Could it be that I have some talent for fishing?

Eliza Shimizu clicked her tongue, "It's just a newbie protection period."

Mingze Feng gripped the fishing rod tightly and then pulled hard.

At the end of the fishing line was a half-foot-long carp, leaping in the air.

"this..."

Should we release it?

"Let it go..."

Finally, the fish returned to its river.

Yamada Ryo stood on the shore with his hands clasped together, looking very devout.

Eliza Shimizu: "What are you praying for?"

Ryo Yamada: "After I ask Yu'er to go back, I'll bring my brothers and sisters over."

Naruzawa Kaede had already cast another line. Hearing Yamada Ryo's words behind him, he couldn't help but open his mouth and smile.

The time spent fishing flew by.

After returning the fishing gear and washing their hands thoroughly, the three strolled side by side. Winchester's main street is lined with many quaint bookstores and boutiques. When they got tired, they stopped at a roadside café to sit for a while, sipping coffee and chatting while watching the street scene.

Yamada Ryo and Shimizu Eliza both squinted, looking lazy and relaxed, with no fighting between them.

Naruzawa Kaede is the same.

The gentle spring breeze alone makes your whole body feel all fuzzy, as if you're enveloped in cotton candy clouds.

The group chatted casually among themselves.

Shimizu Eliza asked Yamada Ryo curiously about her story with Narusawa Kaede, and also told him some interesting stories about Narusawa Kaede when he was in the band.

When Yamada Ryo doesn't like to explain, he'll let Narusawa Kaede do it.

Let me tell you about those days when I was kept in a basement on weekends.

"It sounds like Maple Sauce would starve to death on the roadside if it weren't so cold..."

Mingze Feng added, "At least I'm confident I can support myself."

"Feng must have taken the money from Liang."

"It is precisely because I know that making money is not easy that I am even more determined to manage my wealth properly. Investing in me is guaranteed to make money."

"It's nothing more than lust and greed."

"Tsk, how come your words sound so awful?"

Naruzawa Kaede and Shimizu Eliza were bickering, exchanging a few words here and there. Yamada Ryo squinted his eyes, offering no explanation, and happily drank his coffee, which had been loaded with sugar.

A gentle breeze is blowing; what a wonderful day!

A slow-paced life, it seems, goes by quickly.

The sun had tilted considerably lower.

We walked until we reached a hill marked by a sign on the outskirts of the village, where the city was laid out before us. Dusk had fallen.

The deep yellow sky tinted the jagged, curved roads, giving the small town a completely different filter.

The three people faced the sun, their shadows long and clinging to the gently sloping hill.

The evening breeze was getting cooler.

Suddenly, Mingze Feng took the right hand, felt around the back of Shimizu Eliza's hand, and gently touched the soft cheek of the British girl.

Instantly separate.

For future multi-person trips, it is necessary to start testing the waters from this moment on.

Eliza Shimizu was taken aback. When she turned around, she saw that Narusawa Kaede had also kissed Yamada Ryo on the cheek.

Yamada Ryo touched his cheek, looked up at Narusawa Kaede, and then at Shimizu Eliza.

Eliza Shimizu touched her cheek and met Ryo Yamada's gaze.

I recognized the target by looking into his eyes.

Eliza Shimizu and Ryo Yamada clenched their fists and approached from either side.

Mingze Feng took two steps to the side with slight resistance, but was still forced to the hill by one person on each arm.

Eliza Shimizu chuckled and said, "One kiss for two, Maple-chan, what happened to you?"

Yamada Ryo continued, "Judgment."

"Of course, it's because you can't just kiss one person."

Even the usually cheerful Eliza Shimizu gave him a look of disdain, as if he were trash.

"Heh..." Yamada Ryo narrowed his eyes. "Girls aren't to be trifled with."

As she spoke, she gave Eliza Shimizu a look.

The two exchanged a glance and simultaneously released Mingze Feng's shoulders.

Just as Naruzawa Kaede was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Yamada Ryo suddenly grabbed him from behind and pulled him to the ground by the neck.

"What... cold?! What are you doing—"

Fortunately, it was a grassy area. Yamada Ryo sat on the ground, and Narusawa Kaede was pulled to lie in her arms.

At this moment, Shimizu Eliza had already nimbly sat on Naruzawa Kaede's lap, while grabbing both of Naruzawa Kaede's hands.

He could probably break free, but with the two girls sandwiched between him, Mingze Feng was worried about hurting them, so he simply loosened his grip.

Just as she was about to lean back, Yamada Ryo, blushing, caught her with his hand. It's a bit of a shame she didn't reach her long-desired comfort zone.

Naruzawa Kaede leaned his head back, and Yamada Ryo punched his shoulder in embarrassment and annoyance.

Watching the two of them interact, Shimizu Eliza puffed up her cheeks in anger, "Hey, Maple-chan, right now I'm holding your leg down and your hand is being grabbed by me, okay?"

"Well, I see it."

Not only could one see that Eliza, sitting on his lap, was leaning forward, making her breasts appear even more prominent, swaying slightly under the influence of gravity and movement.

Eliza Shimizu deliberately straightened her back, her eyes brushing past Ryo Yamada's gaze, and proudly raised her neck.

Some innate physical attributes cannot be caught up with later in life.

Yamada Ryo pursed his lips.

Mingze Feng swallowed hard.

Eliza Shimizu laughed out loud.

"Ha... Hmph... Do you realize your mistake now?"

If this is punishment, then let the punishment come even more fiercely.

“Oh,” Naruzawa Kaede raised his head: “I did nothing wrong! Come on up!”

"You wish..." Shimizu Eliza blushed, angered by Narusawa Kaede's shameless attitude.

Wait, that shameless look...

Eliza Shimizu's gaze passed over Narusawa Kaede and landed on Yamada Ryo, who was sitting behind Narusawa Kaede as a chair.

Yamada Ryo tilted her head, misunderstanding the situation, thinking that he was asking for her help.
