All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends

Chapter 46: Eriri: Kato Megumi Really Is a Good Person

In a secluded corner of the school building.

Eriri firmly gripped Yukima Azuma's wrist.

After a moment of daze, Yukima Azuma's gaze fell on Eriri's exposed earlobes peeking out from her hair.

They were flushed red.

For some reason, Yukima Azuma felt a sense of relief.

This was still the Eriri he knew—nothing had changed.

Only today, she must have summoned unimaginable courage to do something that even surprised him.

Thinking this, Yukima Azuma gently reached out and stroked Eriri's golden hair.

He felt the softness atop her head.

Eriri, who had prepared a mountain of things to say, suddenly forgot everything.

For a moment, her mind went completely blank.

'Say something! Say anything, Eriri!'

Her heart urged her.

Unlike the hesitation from before,

This time, Eriri followed the call of her heart.

She threw herself into Yukima Azuma's arms.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I… I was so stubborn before! I'm sorry!"

Halfway through, her voice choked up.

Yukima Azuma could clearly feel the uniform on his chest becoming wet.

Feeling Eriri's resolve as she tried to overcome her own obstinate nature,

Yukima Azuma wrapped her slender frame tightly in his arms.

She cried for a long while.

Her tears left a large damp patch on Yukima Azuma's uniform.

When Eriri finally stopped sobbing, she looked up at him.

"Azuma, can you forgive me?"

Her entire heart felt as though it were suspended mid-air,

As if awaiting judgment.

Eriri was terrified that Yukima Azuma would say something cold and hurtful.

No matter how tightly his arms held her, she feared it was all just an illusion.

She had finally realized how deeply she had hurt Yukima Azuma in the past, relying on his love to inflict wounds on him.

"With such a heartfelt apology, how could I refuse you?"

Yukima Azuma smiled softly.

Eriri's eyes widened.

In those deep blue irises, the image of the boy reflected clearly, her gaze brimming with pure joy.

"Ayaya, Eriri, you're really cheating here—you know perfectly well that I can't refuse any of your requests as long as you cry."

Yukima Azuma leaned down and whispered gently into her ear.

His breath brushed past Eriri's earlobe.

Her slender body trembled slightly.

Eriri had finally apologized, so of course, Yukima Azuma was willing to start their story over again.

Any progress from this tsundere girl was precious.

And this time, it wasn't just a little progress—

It was a monumental step forward.

After that, Yukima Azuma took Eriri to wash her face.

He carefully wiped the lingering tears off her cheeks.

"By the way, I'm planning to form a game club, Eriri. Would you like to join?"

Right at the classroom door, Yukima Azuma suddenly asked.

Eriri froze, memories of unpleasant experiences flashed briefly through her mind.

But when she looked at the boy in front of her,

Those unhappy memories quickly melted away.

"What's this? If you want to invite me, at least be more serious about it!"

Eriri muttered softly.

She had changed a little, but not too much.

"Eriri-sama, for my game club, the person to draw the character designs can only be you. Please, lend me your talents!"

Of course, Yukima Azuma didn't hesitate to shower her with praise.

Eriri had taken the initiative to compromise this much—

Saying a few sweet words was no big deal, right?

Hearing Yukima Azuma say "can only be you",

Eriri's face instantly turned red.

"Alright, I'll join!"

Eriri nodded and agreed.

After that, the two of them returned to the classroom.

When she sat down,

Eriri cupped her face in her hands, her joy so apparent that anyone could see it.

Her little head with the two golden twintails practically radiated sunflowers.

'Azuma, Azuma, Azuma, hehehe, he called me Eriri again! Can only be you. Can only be you. Can only be you. No one but me. No one but me!! No one but me!!!!! Hehehe~!'

While her heart was filled with sweet happiness—

"Azuma-kun, good morning."

Eriri: !!

Eriri's eyes widened as she turned to look at the girl who greeted Yukima Azuma.

Although they had only met yesterday,

This time, when Eriri focused on her carefully,

It felt like she had no significant impressions of this girl in her mind—

Almost as if they were meeting for the first time.

However, those things weren't important.

Just now, what did that girl call Yukima Azuma?

Eriri felt she must have misheard.

"Good morning, Megumi-san."

Yukima Azuma replied naturally, making Eriri realize that it was certainly not an illusion.

Kato Megumi placed her bag on the table and asked naturally:

"How is Shiratamaru doing? Is it adapting well at home?"

"Mm, it doesn't seem to have any resistance. It looks like it's also learned how to use the litter box."

"Oh, then Shiratamaru is really smart. It usually takes a long time to learn that."

"I also think Shiratamaru is very smart. No wonder it's the pet that bonded with me."

"Azuma-kun, don't praise yourself like that in front of other girls, okay? You'll be hated."

"Of course, I know that."

Eriri suddenly stood up abruptly.

Finally, she managed to capture both of their attention.

At this moment, Eriri was completely dumbfounded, her eyes slightly red, looking very skeptical.

"Wait a minute, can you two stop for a second?! Who is Shiratamaru?!"

There were so many things to complain about in that conversation earlier.

But if she had to pinpoint what stood out the most, it was definitely the part about "Shiratamaru."

"Ah... Shiratamaru is the cat that Megumi-san and I picked up yesterday on the way home after school."

"I've adopted it now. I named it Shiratamaru. It's really cute. Eriri, do you want to see it?"

Yukima Azuma spoke while pulling out his phone.

Eriri: o.0

Eriri was completely shocked.

Adopting a cat together or whatever...

How much had she missed after going home yesterday?!

Eriri suspected she hadn't just skipped a day of school but an entire semester.

These two were progressing at a pace she could hardly believe!

"Do you want to see it?"

Since Eriri was still standing there in a daze, Yukima Azuma asked again, having already taken out his phone.

Eriri really wanted to firmly refuse.

But curiosity still pushed her to take Yukima Azuma's phone.

Shiratamaru's tiny, pearl-white figure was shown, stretching its tiny paws out from a cat shelf.

Its mismatched eyes—one green, one gold—shimmered like twinkling lights.

Eriri felt like her heart had just been struck by Cupid's arrow.

Too cute!

Eriri, the cat lover, almost broke into tears.

Why did she skip school yesterday?!

"Eriri, if you like, you can come over to my house to play with Shiratamaru sometime."

Yukima Azuma said.

"Really?"

"Of course, Megumi-san also agrees, right?"

Yukima Azuma glanced at Kato Megumi.

"Mm, Shiratamaru will surely like you too, Sawamura-san."

Kato Megumi was never the type to make things difficult for others.

"That's amazing! I'll definitely come. Azuma, you're such a good person!"

"Remember, it's Megumi-san."

"Mm, Kato-san, let's be good friends!"

In the midst of Eriri's tearful excitement, she also sensed something off.

But she was certain that agreeing to go cuddle a cat was the right thing to do, and Kato-san was definitely a good person!
