“I see”Had she never seen a stream before? Mutsuki tilted his head, but he distinctly rearden in FeTUS headquartersAnd as he thought…“Mutsuki-kun, catch me~~~ Boom!”“Eh? Wah, wah!”Lucia took a running start and jue stoneHe nearly tackled Mutsuki who panicked but found the boy was as light as a feather Catching him proved easyAfter he was lowered to the ground, Lucia laughed in delight“This place is great~ Anywhere is fine when I’m with you, Mutsuki-kun, but this place is the best”“It is?”He was apparently in a good moodHis cute face looked especially young todayMutsuki – as well as any guy or girl – found his smile attractive“Ohhhhh! We take our eyes off you for two seconds and you start flirting!”He had apparently attracted the attention of Saya as looking at theUnsure what she ”, Mutsuki tilted his head After a ained her bright expression“Well, whatever C’reat You too Ma~chi-nya~n”She waved overLucia obediently splashed on in Mutsuki and Machina both nodded, Mutsuki rolled up his long pants, and Machina removed her knee socksAnd…“Oh, this is just in the way Strip!”“Wahhhh! O-oh”Saya shouted an overly-literal sound effect and removed her skirtMutsuki had been crouched down, so her deliciously pluht at eye level He panicked, but then he realized this was not a problemShe had been wearing a sporty two-piece swimsuit below her clothesDidn’t this happen once before? he thought with a sigh“C’et in C’mon, Machi-nyan, Satowa-kun, and Fujita-kun”“S-sure”Since she was ready, she pulled the other three into the river with herMutsuki blushed a little when she grabbed his handShe did not seee or Machina and she lacked Lucia’s devilish charirls in their year Of course his heart was going to be pounding when she suddenly showed hirabbed his handBut unlike shy Mutsuki, she could get along with anyone“Deryah!”“Hwahp!”Saya kicked water right into his faceShe cackled and the boy felt some of the shyness and tension leave him“Tei!”“Oops! Heh heh! You can’t hit me~♪”He splashed back even though she was a girl, but she dodged itAnd when it flew past her…“Uuh… It’s only up to s, but I still can’t relax in the water… Kyahn!”It hit Ange right in the faceThe terrible sih already, so the water to the face only increased the fear She uttered a cute screamAnd after a pause…“Mutsukiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!”“Wah, ah I-I’m sorry!”He felt she should not get soaround, but the look on her face forced hiive herself for screaed at him to punch him“You stupid Mutsu-…ahyan!”But another splash caught her in the face“Ah ha ha ha ha ha ha! ‘Ahyan’! Did you hear that, Mutsuki-kun!? ‘Ahyan’~♪”Lucia doubled over in laughter“Get your ass over here, Satowaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!”Ange was so angry that Mutsuki feared she would use her angelic power, but she only scooped up some waterAnd the boy gave a coldly confident smile as the water flew his way“Like that’ll hit me, stupid Water is my field of-…wahp”He easily dodged it…but Saya’s splash from the side scored a direct hit“Ah ha ha ha♪ You’re a little overconfident, Satowa-kun~”“Now you’ve done it~!”Lucia struck back Saya was unable to dodge, but she laughed happily as the water dripped from her clothesThe three of the war“Phew, at least I’m safe”Mutsuki watched them from a short distance awayLucia was having fun in the water and the anger in Ange’s face was clearly softeningIt was a strange sightNot only were angels and dee had a short temper and Lucia loved to provoke her They could not have been ht when they met And yet…“…Here”“Oh, thanks, Ibekusa-san”Machina held out a handkerchief as she too quietly watched The splash fro it to him“————”But then Machina silently stepped back“Don’t think you’re safe, you two”A surprise attack from Saya flew their wayMachina had avoided it, but Mutsuki and the borrowed handkerchief were soakedThe girl laughed as she ee of the surprise attack“Join us, Machi-nyan We’re out ca, so you need to release the youth inside you”“Ah”She pushed on Machina’s back and carried her to Ange and Lucia’s battlefieldEven if Machina was not into it, the angel and demon were too fired up to care They splashed water on her and Saya as still e her“…”Machina was hit right in the face while restrainedShe did not react much, but…“Understood”“Fweh?”“I should follow your suggestion to take part in this ca trip”“Bhyan!”An ae splash struck Saya in the face and she fell onto her butt She earing a swimsuit, but her shi+rt was soaked too“Now you’ve done it~”Conored the rules of the splash battle and tackled Machina while soaking wet The human water bomb left Machina soaked tooThat girl who barely interacted with anyone had been sent to other side in no timeMutsuki’s eyes widened, but their local agent of chaos would not give him any further peace“C’uard down, Mutsuki-kun~”“Wait, Kurikara-sa-…”Now that she was soaking wet, she had changed her mode of attack She embraced himThe boy panicked ainst him than due to the waterJust as her pluhty She was very different froirl set his heart racingSaya laughed like it did not bother her“…Ha ha”Her laughter was contagious and he was unsure what to do about his heated cheeks“C’o, Mutsuki-kun”“Sure”As he joined the fun, he did not even notice that she had started calling him “Mutsuki-kun” instead of “Fujita-kun”They had barbecue for dinnerThere was a grill outside the cabin and the caround sold charcoal and firewoodSakae had been in charge of supplying food On the way there he had said, “We can have fish and meat for dinner The ht fish and eat it~ It’ll be great~”, but he had caught absolutely nothing“Okay! As the barbecuemeat is a job for a man’s man!”Even so, the barbecue was funSakae stuck blocks of rill All he did was cook it, so flavoring and dividing up the meat fell to Mutsuki, the future kitchen worker“Hot, hot”“Are oo ohay, Anhe-han? You should blow on it first”“M since I had meat to eat~❤”The others were in charge of eating Theyin the river because the meat vanished into their mouths as soon as it was cooked“Mutsuki This is too hot Fix it”“Yes, yes The ones over here will be cooler”Ange had apparently taken one frorill She tearfully held back a barely-eaten skewer, so Mutsuki srill“Hm…munch, munch”“Well?”“Yeah, I can eat this one…hot”“Heh heh Don’t let your guard down…chomp”“! Wait! You’re eating that?”“Why not? There are plenty of new ones, so eat those”“Well…you can if you want…”He ate the one she had returned for being too hot The girl watched him with a coht blush when he finally finishedMutsuki was not particularly bothered and he moved back to Sakae to add new meat to the skewerHe peeked inside the bag containing all the food for their ca trip“U but cup noodles and etables?”“Who needs veggies! We are the growing teenagers, so we only need !”“That’s not a balanced diet”Mutsuki regretted not checking the food before leaving“Don’t be like that, BFF There’s nothing wrong with doing this every once in a while”“Well, as long as it’s only every once in a while By the hat’s for breakfast and lunch tomorrow?”“You saw all those cup noodles, right?”“I thought asaround here We could cook them up to make the ramen nice and nutriti-…”“Stop, stop!”“Stop, stop!”As soon as he started saying “nutritious”, Sakae and Ange were quick to nix the ideaThe two of the, so they convinced hi trip They forced hireementHe sulked a little and looked around for a drink since hispretty oily“Here”“Thanks, Ibekusa-san”“Heeeere!”“Ah ha ha Thanks, Lucia-kun”Tea and soda were passed to him from either sideHe took both, refreshed his mouth with the tea, and took a breather with the soda“Are you two having fun?”He had been a little worried ever since they had decided to do barbecue He especially thought Machina would be hesitant about all the meat when she normally only ate apples“Of course❤ It’s always fun with you around, Mutsuki-kun”He had been worried for nothing Lucia had been chowing down fro“I have never eaten like this before”Machina wasthe meat little by littleShe alwayslunch and this see a wildfrom the bottom of the skekward and cuteMutsuki was glad that everyone was enjoying themselves As he ate his own portion, he wrapped sorill They were having roast apples for dessertThen Saya spoke up while wiping off herthe burnt parts“Heh heh heh heh I think it’s time for my secret weapon~”She shtEveryone else exchanged a glance as she showed off what she pulled out“Look! It’s the ultiood! I call it…”“It’s ht?”“Tah dah! Mayonnaise!! …Wait, how did you know!?”Sakae and the other four had expected this“Of course we knew, Saya Your lunches at school are always slathered in mayo”Ange shrugged because she saw it every day when eating lunch with the girl“Uuh… But I like it”“That’s why you’re so fa-…ohhh, that was a close one! Don’t throers! You’ll skewer someone! Like me!”“Hmph”The girl violently answered Sakae’s corabbed some more meat and added mayonnaiseShe frowned, so Mutsuki approached with a bitter smile“But I understand Mayonnaise is delicious And it’s nutritious”“You understand!? I know, right!? Mayonnaise goes great with everything!”She cheerfully held out the bottle, so Mutsuki accepted his initiation into the ht yellow creath of his skewerHe took a bite and the bit that got on his lips brought an unexpected aroma to his nose“Huh? Does this have mustard in it?”“Yeah, it’s mustard mayo I’ve been hooked on the stuff lately”It had such a powerful flavor that he could no longer taste the meatHe avoided co to be nice, but he could not enjoy this clu out like this“Sakae, we had some white rice, didn’t we?”He decided to dilute the flavorSakae ru of cup noodles and handed over a pack of instant rice If hot water was added, the rice would be ready in three minutesWhich meant…The ly far from the cabinMutsuki walked down the dark path with SayaThey had the fire and kettle needed to boil water, but they lacked the crucial drinking water They were on their way to buy soe“Munch, munch… Hm~, maybe normal mayo is better for barbecue”“The ”Saya walked alongside him with a skewer in each hand He had said she did not need to come with him, but she seemed to feel responsible as the one to flavor the skewerThe evening wind felt nice on his heated skin after the fatty meal“Oh, there’s so”“Probably”Saya pointed down at a facility near the lodge that was surrounded with trees and had stea from it“Heh heh heh~ I’ve really been looking forward to that I love big baths~”This was another thing Hi-no-Hoka City was known for: volcanic hot springs connected to hot spring inns in the opposite direction from Karuizawa“No peeping~, Mutsuki-kun”“I won’t”“You say that, but don’t you want to see Machi-nyan’s boobs? I can only describe the’~”“O-oh? Really? I wouldn’t know anything about Ibekusa-san’s chest”“Heh heh heh”Saya lightly slashed at sorass with her empty skewersThe twilight et he was even awake His exhaustion fro in“Oh, mock strawberries”Mutsuki spotted so near a streamMock strawberries were plants that grew in places like this and were known for their jagged leaves“Maybe we should pick soetables”“Hm? You can eat those?”“Yeah They’re fairly nutritious too I hear they help with digestion”They were small, but he picked two or three of the red fruits“Strawberries, huh?”Saya took one They sounded good to her, so she picked a few like the boy hadThey rinsed theether“…”“…~~ Yeah, they’re just ripe enough”“~~~~~~~”Mutsuki was fine, but Saya was sufferingHowever, she was a girl She could not spit so out in front of a boy from her class“W-water I’ll go buy some Wait here”She tearfully ran toward the lodge''What was that about?'' wondered MutsukiBut she had told hiather some more wild plants from the area He started to stick the rest of the red fruits in his pocket, and…“Tee hee”A girl stood where there had been nothing but darkness a moment beforeThe sudden quiet laughter surprised Mutsuki so much he dropped the fruitsIt felt like darkness had enveloped the world This girl’s very existence was inexplicable and she looked at him from the roadsideShe was a sh to hide her butt Ange was only 140cirl looked even se of Mutsuki’s little sister Chiaki She may have been white because her skin was a similar milk white to Schwarze’s and her facial features were deeply cutThat milk white skin seemed to shi+ne and it accentuated the color of her black dressHe could not tell where the dress ended and the darkness began“Good day…or good evening? Which is it?”She had a young, somewhat nasal voice and she spoke in fluent japanese“…Good evening”Mutsuki responded and gulped without realizing itHis entire body tensed when he sensed the aura co from herThis was not a child’s presence Her ht and were dyed with deep sorrow and lust They ith intense pleasure as if she were drowning in ecstasyThat sexuality was like a fruit so ripe it oozed juices and she gave off the bewitching aura of a lily flower She looked like a young child, but she produced an aroma that would fill any man with lustShe was a lot like Lucia in that way She had a charm that stimulated a human’s primal desires When she si his dick“Who are you…?”He asked because his instincts told hiuestShe felt out of place in this shabby caround In fact, she felt out of place anywhere in this world He was confident she was a different sort of being, like an angel or a demonThe girl narrowed her eyes and did not answer the question“Such a lovely eye Although it is no match for my master”“—————”She knew about the Serpent’s EyeBut the thinly sirl did not say any more about that“I just wanted to get a look at you”She turned her back in the darkness“Bye, bye Until we ain”She gave him a coquettish smile that would turn any man into a pedophile and then she leftMutsuki shuddered and felt like an icicle had stabbed hih the heart, so he did not pursue herThat icy blade had likely coht up to her, he ht have succumbed to her allure and made her his on the spotJust like when she appeared, the girl dissolved into the darkness Once he could no longer see her, the boy took a deep breath His shoulders were shaking more from arousal than exhaustion“Mutsuki-kun? What is it?”“Oh…Kurikara-san It’s nothing”Saya held a bottle of mineral water and a half-empty bottle of sodaThe two of them followed the path back to the othersShe did not see about the irl
