All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends

"I'm home!"

ヾ(＾ ∇ ＾).

After more than a month away, Yukima Azuma returned to the Yukima house, calling out his usual greeting.

"Welcome home." ×6

(*ᴗ͈ˬᴗ͈)ꕤ*.ﾟ

Since it was the weekend and everyone knew he would be back, all the girls in the estate had gathered.

Kasumigaoka Utaha, Kato Megumi, and Eriri being here was expected.

Kirisu Mafuyu was also at home.

Yukinoshita Yukino had even taken the day off.

But besides the five who normally lived in the Yukima house…

Yukima Azuma stared in confusion at the short-haired beauty standing beside them.

(｡· v ·｡) ?

Wait, why she here?

As for Yukinoshita Haruno, the woman Yukima Azuma was staring at—

Rather than feeling awkward, she even winked at him.

Wink! Wink!

(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

"Azuma-kun, this is my older sister. You've met her before—Yukinoshita Haruno," Yukino introduced.

Even she wasn't sure why her sister had suddenly shown up today.

Though she wanted to chase her away, considering the current relationship between Laplace Corporation and the Yukinoshita family wasn't too tense, Yukino ultimately let Haruno stay.

She assumed her sister was here to discuss business with Yukima Azuma.

The girls in the house had no idea that Yukima Azuma and Haruno already knew each other.

Let alone the complicated past between them.

And since Haruno was Yukino's blood-related sister, none of them were particularly wary of her.

After all, they had some understanding of Yukino's feelings.

And who would ever suspect that—

A mature, composed Haruno would have her eyes on the person her little sister liked?

Haruno: (≖⩊≖)

Watching Haruno continuously winking, Yukima Azuma's mouth twitched.

But he said nothing.

It wasn't the right time to reveal their relationship in front of everyone.

...

After putting away his luggage, Yukima Azuma began chatting with the girls.

He deliberately ignored Haruno.

And Haruno, for her part, remained silent.

She really played the role of a big sister visiting her younger sibling.

"Winter Comiket is coming up soon. Don't you think our club has been on hiatus for too long?"

Eriri brought up the club.

After White Album's huge success, the team had been busy dealing with leftover work from the project.

Now, though—

The final volume of The Metronome in Love, written by Kasumigaoka Utaha, had been published.

Marking the completion of the first chapter in her writing career.

She had some preliminary ideas for her next work, but there was no rush.

Eriri had finished all her commissions and artbooks.

And Yukima Azuma refused to let her illustrate his light novel, which irritated her.

૮₍ ˃ ⤙ ˂ ₎ა

Now, Eriri really wanted to work with Yukima Azuma again.

As for Yukima Azuma, he had been relatively free lately.

"Umu, now that I think about it, you're right. Let's make White Album 2."

"Actually, I finished writing the project plan a long time ago."

As he spoke, Yukima Azuma retrieved his laptop from his room.

White Album 2 already existed in his memories.

With his Level 7 literature skills as a foundation, writing a project plan hadn't taken much time.

He had completed it a while ago.

The moment Eriri heard that the plan was done—

She couldn't wait and immediately snatched the laptop from his hands.

"Why so hasty? Even if you look at the project plan, you still have to wait for me to write the script."

Utaha teased from the side.

She, the one specializing in writing scripts, should obviously get to see it first.

"Tsk, Azuma's plan has such high visual detail, it feels like there's no need for someone to write a script at all."

Eriri pouted.

The two started arguing again.

(*´ -`)(´- `*)

Yukima Azuma chuckled.

He was used to it.

When these two were together, it would be strange if they didn't argue.

Just as Yukima Azuma was comfortably sitting back and enjoying the conversation—

He suddenly felt something soft and gentle brushing against his calf.

It was clearly intentional teasing.

The tickling sensation made Yukima Azuma freeze slightly.

Alright, who's got the guts?

(≖_≖ )

Daring to "molest" him in front of so many people?

But very quickly, he recalled the misunderstanding with Megumi last time.

"Shiratamaru?"

Yukima Azuma called out.

In response, from the other side of the sofa, Shiratamaru poked its head out.

/ᐠ˵- ⩊ -˵マ

Its heterochromatic eyes—one golden, one light blue—reflected a puzzled look.

Hmm, it's been a while. Lately, Shiratamaru seemed to have gained weight again.

It was on its way to becoming a tank.

Looks like a diet is needed.

Yukima Azuma's thoughts wandered for a moment, but he was soon pulled back by the persistent sensation at his leg.

This wasn't the time to be thinking about that.

If it wasn't Shiratamaru...

Could it be Hogyo—

Before he could finish the thought—

Next to Shiratamaru, Hogyokumaru also poked its head out.

/ᐠ ˵> ˕ <˵マ

Yukima Azuma immediately dismissed his previous guess.

Alright, this was definitely a girl's foot.

So, whose was it?

Yukima Azuma's gaze subtly swept across the girls sitting around the table.

( ｡ •̀ ᴖ •́ ｡)

Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha were deeply engrossed in their debate.

Those two definitely wouldn't be able to multitask, as verbal sparring required full concentration.

Yukino?

His Snowball at home wouldn't have the courage to make such a bold move.

Even with the "22-year-old single woman" buff, it wouldn't go this far.

Yukima Azuma glanced at Kato Megumi.

Could it be Megumi?

Sensing his gaze, Kato Megumi tilted her head slightly, meeting his eyes.

(✿´‿`)

Their eyes locked.

Yukima Azuma smiled meaningfully.

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Megumi-chan, naughty, naughty, hehe.

As if she could read Yukima Azuma's thoughts, Kato Megumi tilted her head again.

Her brown eyes carried a faint trace of confusion.

( ✿╹ -╹)?

Naughty where?

Seeing Kato Megumi's adorable expression—

After a brief private chat in the group, Yukima Azuma realized—

He was wrong.

So it wasn't Kato Megumi.

Then who could it be?

As a side note, Kirisu Mafuyu had already gone back to her room.

Yukima Azuma placed both hands on the table and subtly moved his fingers.

He gently nudged a pen off the table.

Taking advantage of the moment, Yukima Azuma bent down and looked under the table.

Under the table, Eriri's white socks were neatly placed together, looking very proper.

Kasumigaoka Utaha's black stockings were slightly shaking.

Senpai tended to shake her leg when she was annoyed—nothing unusual.

Kato Megumi, with her small white socks, was also sitting properly.

But the foot that was reaching toward him—

Long, fair-skinned, wearing white thigh-high socks.

At this moment, the nimble toes were forming a "peace" sign toward Yukima Azuma.

(＾ ∇ ＾) y

Following the direction of that leg—

Yukima Azuma immediately rolled his eyes.

Yukinoshita Haruno!

Picking up the pen,

Yukima Azuma casually smacked Haruno's outstretched leg.

Smack!

A crisp sound echoed from under the table.

After retrieving the pen,

All the girls curiously turned their attention to Yukima Azuma.

Even Eriri and Kasumigaoka Utaha paused their argument to look over.

Seeing this, Yukima Azuma forced a smile.

"There was a mosquito, don't mind it."

Eriri blinked in confusion. "A mosquito? At this time of year? There might even be snow in a few days!"

After all, autumn was almost over.

"Uh, maybe it's because the room temperature is a bit high."

Yukima Azuma shrugged, brushing it off.

Utaha, Yukino, and Eriri didn't think much of it.

But Kato Megumi felt that something was off.

(✿╭ರ_•́)

Thinking back to Yukima Azuma's reaction in their private chat just now—

And his act of calling for Shiratamaru—

Her sharp intuition immediately connected this to a certain memory.

When they were studying on the second floor, Yukima Azuma had tutored her, and then the two of them…

Suddenly, Kato Megumi looked at Yukima Azuma with deep suspicion.

You're up to something!

(≖_≖ )

This time, it was Yukima Azuma's turn to tilt his head in confusion.

Did something seem wrong?

∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ?

Kato Megumi blinked and then let her gaze sweep over the other girls.

Clearly, someone had just "molested" him.

Who was it?

Glancing around, everyone seemed suspicious.

For a brief moment, even Kato Megumi couldn't pinpoint the culprit.

—

"This is even more moving than the previous part! The high school version is just amazing!"

(∩˃o˂∩)♡

Having finished reading the project plan, Eriri excitedly raised her hand and shouted.

As a hardcore otaku, she couldn't resist the appeal of such a phenomenal work.

Moreover, just the thought of being involved in creating a masterpiece like this…

Eriri grew even more thrilled.

Meanwhile, Kasumigaoka Utaha took the project plan and skimmed through it.

From her perspective—

Compared to the previous installment, the writing quality of this sequel had taken a significant leap.

But that wasn't surprising.

Back when Yukima Azuma was writing light novels,

Kasumigaoka Utaha had already noticed that his literary skills were steadily improving.

So, this script wouldn't need much revision.

Just refining the outline and expanding a few storylines would be enough.

—

"The merch for White Album 1 is also scheduled to hit the shelves this winter."

"We were originally planning to release a collector's edition of White Album 1, but now there's no need."

"If the sequel comes out, it's guaranteed to blow up in popularity. I'd say we'll be making a lot of money."

Yukinoshita Yukino remarked.

As a branch director, her primary concern was, of course, profitability.

(Note: Does "branch director/manager" count as a CEO of the branch? Anyway, Yukino seems to handle almost all the work, while President MC is just off flirting and expanding his harem.)

For a Laplace Corporation branch director to say "a lot of money"…

It was easy to imagine just how massive the revenue from the sequel and its merch would be.

—

"Well then, from here on out, we'll all need to give it our best."

ദ്ദി(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Yukima Azuma smiled and said.

When he first formed this team, his goal was to work alongside these girls and strive together.

The results they created would be a lasting bond between him and them.

And just at that moment—

Yukima Azuma once again felt something messing around with his leg.

He immediately shot a glare at Yukinoshita Haruno.

This woman!

(ノಠ益ಠ)ノ

Under his glare, Haruno innocently blinked her eyes.

( ╹ -╹)?

But this time—

She was actually innocent!

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

—

On the other side—

The real culprit, Kato Megumi, quietly withdrew her small foot clad in white socks.

(❀❛ ֊ ❛„)

Naruhodo!

(≖_≖❀ )

Rival +1!!!
