My love is abyss mode

Chapter 105 Kanse no Masamune
Back at the apartment, it was already the usual time for me to go for a run with Momo Shirakawa.

Kuronuma took out his key, turned the doorknob, and took off his shoes in the entryway. The aroma of food wafted over.

"I am back."

Receiving no response, he walked straight through the living room to the dining table, where Shirakawa Momo was watching an animal documentary with her hands supporting her cheeks.

She only glanced at Kuronuma Kiba indifferently when he walked to her side, gesturing with her chin towards the food on the table.

There was only one dinner: stir-fried beef with green peppers, borscht, grilled saury, and rice.

Kuronuma Kiba pulled out a chair, sat down in his usual spot, and asked softly, "Isn't Ryo-senpai coming back tonight?"

"I might be back later."

Shirakawa Momo turned off her phone, looked up at him with a cold gaze, and suddenly asked, "Are you really going to join the kendo club?"

"We will seize the Jade Dragon Flag, and we will never give up." Kuronuma Ya picked up a lemon and squeezed lemon juice onto the crispy skin of the grilled saury.

He was now somewhat tired of the Jade Dragon Flag and swordsmanship, especially after easily defeating the Eighth Dan Hanshi.

But since they've lost, they have to get revenge, and they've already promised Matsuzaka Kanon, so they have to keep their word.

"I estimate it will just be a formality, and maybe I'll break the record for the most courageous award while I'm at it, as the forward position is the most efficient."

When Kuronuma said this, he spoke in a completely nonchalant tone, as if he were just casually buying some fruit he liked while shopping.

"That idiot will definitely bother me to rebuild the band." Shirakawa Momo sighed, rubbing her forehead and frowning.

The thought of Shinkai Shionai sticking to her all the time made her feel inexplicably annoyed, and Shinkai Shionai was the kind of person who couldn't be driven away by scolding.

Kuronuma Kiba picked up his chopsticks, took a piece of beef and put it in his mouth, saying as he ate, "I warned Shinkai, but she can only advise you. Don't worry."

"Her very existence is annoying enough."

Shirakawa Momo pressed down on her lips, her face full of displeasure, her voice filled with impatience: "What does Matsusaka-senpai want with you?"

"Ask the senior student for funding for the kendo club."

Neither of them are good people.

"Maybe."

Kuronuma evaded the question, took out his phone, glanced at the time, and said, "Are we going for a run tonight? I don't want to."

Tomorrow is the day to challenge Shishino Ryo, and he wants to conserve his energy so that he can complete the [Xyz Summon] plan tomorrow night.

Let's continue tomorrow night.

Shirakawa Momo got up from the dining table and walked towards the bathroom: "I'll run a hot water tank. Leave it there after you finish eating, and I'll clean it up."

Having just finished her training trip, she had no intention of going for a run and wanted to get some rest for the night.

After dinner, the two took turns showering in the bathroom before returning to their respective rooms.

Kuronuma Kiba pulled "The Dancing Girl of Izu" from the bookshelf, leaned against the wall on the bed, half-lying down and half-sitting, reading while waiting for the system to refresh.

Because the book was a bound volume, after finishing "The Dancing Girl of Izu," he continued reading "Snow Country."

When reading about Komako playing "The Encouragement of the Emperor" on a shamisen, a pink transparent panel popped up on the neatly printed text of the book.

[Abyss Challenge Quest: Upside-Down Butterfly, Failed]
This doesn't need to be specifically reminded again. [The store has been refreshed.]
[Number of extra missions completed: 0, no flash reward]
After the settlement is completed, the page refreshes to the new month's challenge tasks.

[Relationship status detected. Automatically adjust task. Difficulty: 0]
[Abyss Challenge Mission: Broken Bamboo Sword, open.]
[Goal: To survive]
???

Kuronuma closed the book in his hand, placed it beside his pillow, and sat up to carefully examine the system panel.

He could understand lowering the difficulty because he failed the challenge last month, but to just coast through and collect the reward this month seemed a bit too condescending.

The system ignored his thoughts and continued to refresh the page.

[Bonus Task 1: Stop the "Fox" from bullying the "Snake", reward 1000 points]
[Bonus Task 2: Reunite the "Band of Hopes," reward 10000 points.]
[Already accumulated points: 990 points]
Garbage system.

Black Swamp Fang was certain that [Extra Mission 1] was the system's old trick, only saying "stop" without telling the truth.

Based on what he knew, Chitose Toyama might not be able to bully Kanon Matsuzaka, otherwise why would Shiona Shinkai resign as a disciplinary committee member and then become the head of the disciplinary committee?
As for [Extra Task 2], the points reward is too much, it's definitely a scam, and it might be even more deceptive than the task with the 1000 points reward.

No.

Since we can get free flash rewards this month, let's continue to ignore the system.

Having made up his mind, Black Swamp Fang opened the shop page. If it was suitable, the remaining points would be enough to buy white and blue entries.

[Golden Entry: Alchemy - Iron / 10000 Points]
[Alchemy - Iron: You can manipulate the element iron. Under suitable conditions, you can actively induce changes within the rules of chemistry or physics, or you can prevent chemical reactions and changes in physical form.]
[Purple entry: Kitten Shadow / 1000 points]
[Kitten Shadow: The shadow you step on will transform into the shape of a kitten, and the person whose shadow is being stepped on will be unable to move.]
[Blue entry: I will transform my broken body into flames / 100 points]
[Use my remaining body to become raging flames: Greatly increases nerve reflex speed for 3 seconds, almost slowing down the flow of time by 10%, cooldown time 24 hours.]
[White entry: Absent bassist / 10 points]
[Absent Bassist: Gains top-tier bassist talent by biting a lighter.]
[Money: 100 yen/1 point]
[I fight the abyss? /100 points]
[I fight the abyss?: After purchasing, an additional task is added.]
After browsing the store interface, Kurosuma Fang decisively spent 100 points to buy [With My Broken Body Turned into Blazing Fire]. After staring at [The Absent Bassist] for a few seconds and hesitating, he decisively closed the system interface.

Although it seems worthwhile, it appears to be completely useless.

Ultimately, the most important thing for a bassist isn't talent, but ordering takeout for the guitarist, helping the drummer move equipment, and even begging the keyboardist to reform the band.

Just as I was about to turn off the lights and go to sleep, the bedroom door clicked open.

Kuronuma looked up and saw Hatsushino Ryo, wearing a black silk slip dress, walk into his room. Her white, shoulder-length hair was spotless, and her expressionless face was framed by wine-red eyes staring straight at him.

What's most eye-catching isn't her bare, white feet without socks, nor her perfect legs peeking out from under her nightgown; the rounded breasts and perfect curves of her figure, faintly visible through the neckline, also lose their charm.

Kuronuma Kiba swallowed hard, his gaze falling on the knife that Hatsushino Ryo was holding. The blade's light was clear and sharp, definitely not the kind of sharpness a knife should have.

This garbage system is a menace!!!

He raised his hand to greet Hatsushino Ryo, and asked cautiously, "Ryo-senpai, what's going on?"

Hatsurugi Ryo kicked the door shut behind him, picked up the knife, and walked to the bedside, his voice devoid of any emotion: "Greetings."

Then, she raised the knife in her hand and presented it to Kuronuma Kiba: "A gift for our anniversary, Kanze Masamune. I wish you good luck in your future endeavors."

The famous sword, Kanze Masamune, has a blade length of 64.4 cm, which is the standard length for a katana. It features elegant lines, a sharp, curved edge, and combines practicality with aesthetics.

A Japanese national treasure, a pinnacle of sword culture, and a symbol of the legitimacy of power during the Edo period, it should rightfully be resting in a museum.

Japanese conglomerates are truly terrifying; they can give away such exquisite works of art as gifts.

Kuronuma Kiba thought to himself, moved to the side of the bed to make room, lifted the blanket covering his legs, and asked, "Want to sleep together tonight?"

"." Hatsushiro Ryo nodded in agreement, turned around and hung the famous sword in his hand on the sword rack on the wall, and turned off the lights in the room.

In the pitch-black silence, the sound of clothes falling to the ground was exceptionally clear.
