All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends

Chapter 48: 'Think, Eriri, think!'

After both of them had read through the plan—or rather, the story of White Album—over half an hour had passed.

When they reached the last page and saw that the rest of the pages were blank, Eriri immediately shouted out loud.

"Where's the rest? The next part of the story! There's definitely more, right? Hurry up and give it to me!"

Hearing that, Yukima Azuma could only helplessly rub his forehead.

Indeed, there was a White Album 2.

But...

"Eriri, this is just the plan for a game. Right now, it's still just ideas, coldly sitting on the multimedia device."

"As the previous part, it hasn't even been released yet, and you're already asking about the next part. Don't you think that's a bit too much?"

After hearing this, Eriri finally realized that she had been a bit hasty.

The plan was so complete that she couldn't help but treat it as if she were enjoying a real game.

After all, as an illustrator, she could automatically visualize the images in her mind from the words.

"Sure enough, the saying 'big boobs, small brain' is just a rumor. Either way, Sawamura-san, this doesn't make you any smarter."

Kasumigaoka Utaha quickly took the opportunity to make a jab.

"You proud of yourself, wearing black stockings? Wait a few years, when everything starts sagging, let's see how you cry then!"

Eriri ground her teeth together in frustration.

"At least having something to sag is better than having nothing to sag."

Kasumigaoka Utaha shrugged nonchalantly.

Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Yukima Azuma flopped onto the podium.

"Neither of you feel sorry for me?"

"My masterpiece, the one I poured my heart into, is right here, and all you two do is argue. I'm really about to cry!"

Seeing Yukima Azuma's exaggerated expression, as if he were on the verge of tears, both girls couldn't help but laugh.

"Alright, alright, I'll take the time to write a detailed script. With the completeness of this work, I shouldn't have any trouble writing the script," Kasumigaoka Utaha said, her tone softer.

"Then I'll leave it to you, senpai! But remember, don't overwork yourself. Even if you're staying up late, you need to know your limits!" Yukima Azuma reminded seriously.

Kasumigaoka, upon hearing that, instinctively touched the wrist protector in her pocket.

Her eyes briefly flickered with tenderness and affection.

"And I'll start on the character designs soon. Though I'm still busy with other things, I'll make sure to set aside time for this," she added.

Eriri quickly spoke up, her voice a bit hurried.

For a tsundere like Eriri, to say something like that was truly remarkable.

"Thanks, Eriri. I'll be counting on you. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to come to me and we can discuss it," Yukima Azuma replied with a smile.

Hearing those words, the corners of Eriri's mouth involuntarily curled into a soft smile.

....

Outside Toyonozaki Academy.

"Alright, see you tomorrow, Eriri."

Yukima Azuma said goodbye to Eriri. He had to go to the station to catch a bus, while Eriri's house was near the station next to the academy, at the end of the detective slope. The two of them headed in opposite directions.

"Hehe, see you tomorrow!" Eriri waved and smiled foolishly to herself.

The story should have ended here.

Until:

"Let's go home together."

Kasumigaoka Utaha suddenly hooked her arm around Yukima Azuma's and even said it loudly.

Eriri, who had just turned to leave, immediately spun around and rushed to pull them apart.

"Wait! Hold on a second! What are you two doing? 'Going home together?' Huh? Did I just isekai by a truck-sama?"

Eriri squeezed between them, acting as a shield to prevent Kasumigaoka from continuing her deadly verbal attacks.

Stuck between the two, Eriri's mind was filled with questions.

"Oh, Sawamura-san doesn't know yet? I'm living with Azuma," Kasumigaoka Utaha said calmly, smiling with a mysterious air, her hand gently brushing her cheek.

"How should I know that!" Eriri yelled, her voice shrill. "Wait a minute, why are you acting all shy about it!"

"Didn't Azuma tell you, Sawamura-san? Looks like you two aren't that close after all," Kasumigaoka replied, a playful tone in her voice.

"You're the one who's not close! Your whole family isn't close!" Eriri retorted. "Azuma is my childhood friend!"

"Oh? Your childhood friend? But I've never heard him mention you," Kasumigaoka teased, her smile widening.

"That's what I should be asking! I'm his childhood friend, but I've never seen you hanging out with Azuma!" Eriri shot back.

Seeing the two of them about to argue even more fiercely, Yukima Azuma placed his hands gently on both of their heads.

Whether it was the long black straight hair or the golden twintails, the soft, silky feeling was transmitted through his palms.

Surprisingly, this action worked.

Both of them immediately stopped arguing.

Each of them stood on one side, and without saying a word, both stepped on Yukima Azuma foot.

"Alright, everyone calm down a bit." Yukima Azuma sighed, speaking with a tone of helplessness. "Let me introduce you two again."

"Kasumigaoka-senpai, we met through literature before, and now she's renting the second floor of my house, a tenant."

"Eriri, a classmate since elementary school, middle school, and now high school, and my childhood friend."

After hearing Yukima Azuma's explanation, Eriri's almost explosive emotions finally settled down.

However, her gaze toward Kasumigaoka was still full of suspicion.

After all, the idea of high school students living together sounded quite inappropriate.

In Eriri's mind, thoughts of a doujinshi about "living together outside school" started to take shape.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, on the other hand, gave Yukima Azuma a side glance.

She felt as if Yukima was hiding something, something unspoken.

Just like how he hadn't made her true identity clear.

So, this tsundere twintail girl had actually appeared before her...?

What had started as a relaxed, carefree time living at Yukima's house suddenly made Kasumigaoka Utaha feel tense.

"Sawamura-san, hello. Sawamura-san, goodbye. Alright, let's go home," Kasumigaoka Utaha said.

Eriri: !

She watched the two of them heading toward the train station.

After a moment of hesitation, Eriri immediately ran after them.

"I'm coming too!"

Hearing this, Kasumigaoka Utaha showed a look of surprise.

"Sawamura-san really plans to actively go to a male student's house and throw herself into his arms? How depraved!"

Although she had matured somewhat, Eriri's tsundere nature couldn't handle words like that.

Her snow-white face immediately turned bright red.

Even though Kasumigaoka Utaha's words weren't particularly rude,

Eriri couldn't help but imagine all sorts of scenarios, in all sorts of places.

'Think, Eriri, think!'

'Ah! Got it!'

Eriri's eyes lit up.

"Shiratamaru!" Eriri nodded. "That's right, I'm going to meet Shiratamaru, this has nothing to do with Kasumigaoka-san!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha squinted slightly.

This reason was certainly something she couldn't argue against.

So, something must have happened when she went to Fushikawa Publishing House yesterday.

The image of the cherry blossom-colored slippers flashed in her mind again.
