He peeked inside the bag containing all the food for their camping trip
Umwow There’s nothing but cup noodles and meat in here Sakae didn’t you buy any vegetables
Who needs veggies We are the growing teenagers so we only need meat Eating veggies at a barbecue is just plain wrong
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 way what’s for breakfast and lunch tomorrow
You saw all those cup noodles right
I thought as much Oh I know Maybe we can find some edible plants growing around here We could cook them up to make the ramen nice and nutriti-
Stop stop
As soon as he started saying nutritious Sakae and Ange were quick to nix the idea
The two of them were very threatening so they convinced him to not worry about their diet during the camping trip They forced him to nod in agreement
He sulked a little and looked around for a drink since his mouth was feeling pretty oily
Thanks Ibekusa
Heere
Ah ha ha Thanks Lucia
Tea and soda were passed to him from either side
He 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
He had been worried for nothing Lucia had been chowing down from the beginning
I have never eaten like this before
Machina was more reserved but she was eating the meat little by little
She always munched on an apple during lunch and this seemed to be her first time eating a wild meal from skewers The way she started eating from the bottom of the skewer was awkward and cute
Mutsuki was glad that everyone was enjoying themselves As he ate his own portion he wrapped some apples in aluminum foil and placed them on the grill They were having roast apples for dessert
Then Saya spoke up while wiping off her mouth which had grown black from eating the burnt parts
Heh heh heh heh I think it’s time for my secret weapon
She smiled boldly and reached into a bag she had brought
Everyone else exchanged a glance as she showed off what she pulled out
Look It’s the ultimate camp condiment that can make any food taste good I call it
It’s mayonnaise right
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-ohh that was a close one Don’t throw skewers You’ll skewer someone Like me
The girl violently answered Sakae’s comment and turned around to sulk She also grabbed some more meat and added mayonnaise
She 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 mayo-lovers club
She slathered a light yellow cream across the full length of his skewer
He 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 meat
He avoided complaining to be nice but he could not enjoy this clump of mayonnaise when they were cooking out like this
Sakae we had some white rice didn’t we
He decided to dilute the flavor
Sakae rummaged through the bag of cup noodles and handed over a pack of instant rice If hot water was added the rice would be ready in three minutes
Which meant
The management lodge was surprisingly far from the cabin
Mutsuki walked down the dark path with Saya
They had the fire and kettle needed to boil water but they lacked the crucial drinking water They were on their way to buy some at the lodge
Munch munch Hm maybe normal mayo is better for barbecue
The mustard kind is pretty strong
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 skewer
The evening wind felt nice on his heated skin after the fatty meal
Oh there’s some smoke over there Maybe that’s the hot spring
Probably
Saya pointed down at a facility near the lodge that was surrounded with trees and had steam rather than smoke rising 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
You say that but don’t you want to see Machi-nyan’s boobs I can only describe them as ‘boing boing’
O-oh Really I wouldn’t know anything about Ibekusa ’s chest
Saya lightly slashed at some nearby grass with her empty skewers
The twilight mountain path felt like a dimly-lit dream that made him forget he was even awake
His exhaustion from the day came rushing in
Oh mock strawberries
Mutsuki spotted something growing near a stream
Mock strawberries were plants that grew in places like this and were known for their jagged leaves
Maybe we should pick some Sakae didn’t bring any vegetables
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 had
They rinsed them off in the stream and ate them together
Yeah they’re just ripe enough
Mutsuki was fine but Saya was suffering
However she was a girl She could not spit something 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 Mutsuki
But she had told him to wait so he decided to gather 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 before
The sudden quiet laughter surprised Mutsuki so much he dropped the fruits
It felt like darkness had enveloped the world This girl’s very existence was inexplicable and she looked at him from the roadside
She was a small girl with light purple hair long enough to hide her butt Ange was only 140cm but this girl looked even smaller She looked close to the age 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 cut That milk white skin seemed to shine and it accentuated the color of her black dress
He could not tell where the dress ended and the darkness began
Good dayor 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 it
His entire body tensed when he sensed the aura coming from her
This was not a child’s presence Her marine blue eyes gave off no light and were dyed with deep sorrow and lust They were wet with intense pleasure as if she were drowning in ecstasy
That 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 lust She was a lot like Lucia in that way She had a charm that stimulated a human’s primal desires When she simply looked him in the eye he felt like she was caressing his dick
