All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends

Chapter 47: The First Club Activity

And so, the after-school bell finally rang.

"Well then, I'll head off first, Sawamura-san. Goodbye!"

Kita Ikuyo waved and said goodbye to Eriri.

Although she originally belonged to the "go home" group, Kita seemed quite busy lately.

"I'll also take my leave. Sawamura-san, Azuma-san, goodbye."

Kato Megumi, who had become friends with Eriri, also bid farewell.

"I'll leave it to you, Megumi-san."

Yukima Azuma waved back in response.

Eriri looked at Yukima Azuma with a resentful gaze.

"Leave it to you"? What was that supposed to mean? That kind of phrasing really made one pay attention.

What exactly was being entrusted here?

Had she only missed one day?

Then why had the relationship between those two progressed so quickly?!

Clearly, all three of them were friends.

Yet, sometimes Eriri felt there was a sad wall separating her from the other two.

Just thinking about it made Eriri puff her cheeks in frustration.

"Eriri, let's go too, to the multimedia room."

Yukima Azuma called out to her.

Being called "Eriri," the blonde girl with twin tails obediently followed him.

At the corner of the classroom, Aki Tomoya's eyes widened in shock.

He felt that between himself and the two people walking ahead, there was not just one wall, but many layers of them.

Moreover—the multimedia room?

His club application had been rejected due to insufficient members.

But rumor had it that a game development club had recently been established at school.

A bad premonition suddenly arose in Aki Tomoya's heart.

He quickly stepped in front of the two and asked:

"Yukima-san and Sawamura-san, did you know each other before this?"

Eriri frowned in irritation.

Yukima Azuma glanced calmly at the person asking the question and replied in a composed voice:

"Yeah, Eriri and I were classmates in elementary and middle school. You could say we're childhood friends."

After speaking, he even smiled.

That fresh, prince-like smile stung Aki Tomoya's soul a little.

His eyes widened in disbelief.

Childhood friends?

"Yukima-san, you're joking, right? Why don't I remember that..."

Before Aki Tomoya could finish his words, he immediately fell silent.

Because Eriri, standing beside him, was clearly on the verge of exploding.

Tomoya still remembered the threat Eriri made last time about reporting to Sayuri.

"Huh? What did Aki-kun just say?" Yukima Azuma pretended not to have heard clearly.

Then, without missing a beat, he continued, "Oh, right. Eriri transferred to my elementary school rather unexpectedly. If you think about it, I guess she's the 'transfer student' type, right?"

Eriri's heart raced at Yukima Azuma's words.

"Transfer student", that was one of the highest-ranking types of heroines in otaku debates. (*t/n: it is true?*)

On the other side, Aki Tomoya looked gloomy.

So this was something that happened after Eriri transferred.

Up until now, he still couldn't get over the "betrayal" he felt from Eriri.

Moreover, after transferring, it seemed like Eriri had been doing just fine.

This only further wounded Aki Tomoya's already fragile pride.

After Yukima Azuma finished speaking, he didn't bother to pay any more attention to Aki Tomoya.

If it were just him here, things might have been more comfortable.

Just now, things had almost escalated into a heated argument.

But after all, Eriri was still here.

Sawamura Spencer Eriri – the sweet, somewhat naïve girl who didn't quite understand the ways of the world, and who Sayuri had protected since childhood.

Yukima Azuma was prepared to take on Sayuri's role.

To continue protecting Eriri like this.

.....

At the multimedia room on the fifth floor.

The club's activity location was not the club room behind the classroom building.

It was right in the main building.

The reason was that, for a game development club, the multimedia equipment available here would better support their activities.

When the multimedia room door opened, the first thing they were greeted with was a sharply sarcastic voice from a senior.

"Did you all fall into a sewer on your way here? Could you be any slower? Honestly!"

Kasumigaoka Utaha was sitting in the second-to-last row of the classroom.

She had her legs crossed, looking like she had been waiting for quite some time.

"Tch, Kasumigaoka Utaha, didn't you just finish class yourself?"

Eriri bared her small fang, challenging her.

These two had known each other for a while, but their personalities didn't match, so every time they met, they ended up arguing.

"Have you still not learned that calling someone by their full name is impolite, Sawamura Spencer Eriri-san?"

"Huh? For a woman who wears black stockings and is "overweight" like you, what's the point of being polite?"

"Sigh, as expected," Kasumigaoka Utaha sighed, "You're always so narrow-minded. It's my fault for arguing with you."

"Even though you apologized, it still feels so sarcastic…"

Eriri was in the middle of speaking when she noticed Kasumigaoka Utaha's gaze land on her chest.

At that moment, she understood what the term "narrow-minded" that Kasumigaoka had just mentioned meant.

Immediately, Eriri was furious and nearly lunged at her.

Yukima Azuma only needed to reach out and grab the back of Eriri's uniform collar, gently pulling her back as if she were picking up Shiratamaru.

"Azuma! Don't pick me up like a kitten!"

Eriri turned around, growling with frustration at Yukima Azuma.

Her small fang looked rather fierce.

Eriri is so scary.

"Azuma?" Kasumigaoka Utaha repeated, her eyes narrowing slightly.

Sensing that the situation was about to escalate, Yukima Azuma quickly raised a hand to stop it.

"Today is the club activity session, could you two please hold off for a bit? At least until the activity is over?"

Thanks to Yukima Azuma's words, the two of them reluctantly stopped, temporarily lowering their weapons.

Azuma took his laptop from his bag and connected it to the multimedia equipment in the room.

Then, he projected his plan onto the screen.

"Anyway, as the club president, this is the plan I've prepared. Please have a look and give feedback."

Kasumigaoka Utaha, though she had already seen it once, pretended as if it was her first time seeing the plan.

It seemed Yukima Azuma had made some edits to the plan.

Moreover, the story of White Album was truly moving.

Reading it through again more seriously wasn't an issue.

As for Eriri, her eyes were now bright, completely absorbed in the plan.

Now this was a real plan!

Not one of those with just a couple of lines.

This was like "burning paper money for the dead to deceive the spirits"!

Moreover… this was really amazing!

The first time she read the story of White Album,

Eriri couldn't help but be drawn in.

Although she wasn't a light novel writer,

Eriri was a veteran otaku.

The number of galgames she had played was countless.

Because of that, her ability to evaluate games was definitely on par with Kasumigaoka's.

In fact, when it came to evaluating romantic games,

Eriri might be a bit better.

Just by glancing at a few pages of this plan,

Eriri could tell.

This was definitely going to be a blockbuster game that would shake the market!
