All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends-Chapter 225: When Eriri Knocks on the Door
Nighttime.
Yukima Azuma was still awake.
He had a feeling that someone would knock on his door tonight.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
And sure enough—
Not long after, there was a soft double knock on Yukima Azuma's bedroom door.
It wasn't that he could predict the future.
It was just that… Eriri had watched a horror show.
Chances were, she wouldn't be able to sleep alone.
He pulled open the door.
Standing outside was the adorable tsundere girl with golden hair.
At this moment, Eriri had let down her twin tails.
Her long, silky blonde hair cascaded behind her like a work of art.
She was wearing a light blue nightgown.
Hugging her pillow tightly to her chest, half of her face was buried behind it.
Only her shimmering emerald eyes peeked out, looking timidly ahead.
It made Yukima Azuma's heart tremble slightly.
"D-do you feel scared? I-If you do, this Great Oujou-sama can go with you to the bathroom."
(,,¬﹏¬,,)
Eriri's voice was muffled behind the pillow, sounding a bit husky.
Even though her words sounded strong…
Her eyes had already betrayed her.
The plea for help in her gaze was practically overflowing.
"Umu, I'm a little scared, could you stay with me for a while, Eriri?"
(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶)
Yukima Azuma held back a laugh and pulled the petite girl into his arms.
If he teased Eriri at a time like this…
She might end up crying like a little kid.
"Th-thank… thank you…"
(,,>﹏<,,)
Eriri spoke as if she were talking to her pillow, her voice so soft it was nearly inaudible.
She knew her excuse wasn't convincing at all.
But Yukima Azuma didn't call her out on it.
Not because he was clueless, but simply because he loved her.
Holding Eriri close, Yukima Azuma led her into his room.
Then, the two of them walked up to the bathroom door inside.
Eriri looked at Yukima Azuma with pleading eyes.
(இ﹏இ`｡)
The horror story she had heard tonight… took place in a bathroom.
She didn't dare go in alone.
"How about… I wear a blindfold?"
Yukima Azuma suggested.
Eriri's face immediately turned bright red, but after thinking it over, she eventually nodded.
At the same time, she did her best to reassure herself.
After all, they had already done that—this was nothing in comparison!
Yukima Azuma went to his drawer and took out a blindfold.
It was a souvenir he had bought at a booth during last summer's Comiket.
The front of the blindfold had an image of Kuroneko's eyes from Oreimo.
He put on the blindfold, then took Eriri's hand, leading her into the bathroom.
In the darkness, Yukima Azuma heard rustling sounds.
But after waiting for a long while… there was no further movement.
At that moment, Eriri's embarrassed voice rang out.
"C-can you turn on the faucet?"
( //>///<//)
She needed some background noise… otherwise, she really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Yukima Azuma could already imagine what kind of expression Eriri had right now.
Fumbling around, he followed Eriri's guidance and finally managed to turn on the faucet.
The sound of running water filled the air.
Before long—
Eriri's voice rang out again:
"You can take off the blindfold now."
Yukima Azuma removed the blindfold.
In front of him was Eriri's flushed face. She stood to the side, avoiding his gaze.
(づ>/////<)づ
The two of them left the bathroom and returned to the bedroom.
Eriri looked somewhat hesitant.
Even though she had finished using the bathroom—
The most uptodate nove𝙡s are published on frёewebnoѵel.ƈo๓.
If she simply returned to her room—
Then, for the rest of the night, she would have to face the darkness alone.
Even though she was no longer in the bathroom,
The fear had not yet faded.
"If you're scared… I guess I can reluctantly stay with you for a bit tonight. J-just for tonight, okay?"
(,,¬﹏¬,,)
After much internal debate, Eriri finally spoke up.
Yukima Azuma gently pinched Eriri's cheek.
Looking into her eyes, filled with both embarrassment and expectation—
He smiled softly and said:
"Umu, I'll be counting on you then."
Hearing that, Eriri immediately hugged her pillow and pounced onto Yukima Azuma's bed.
Even though she knew for sure that he wouldn't change his mind—
She still had to seize the opportunity quickly!
The number of times they had slept together wasn't exactly small.
So when they lay next to each other, they were already quite used to it.
Even though the night was getting late,
After all the flustering moments just now—
The lingering emotions made it impossible for Eriri to fall asleep.
At first, she lay on her back.
But at some point, she had turned to her side, facing Yukima Azuma.
She watched as he closed his eyes, his eyelashes faintly trembling.
Eriri softly called out, "Azuma, are you asleep?"
(,,>﹏<,,)
Yukima Azuma opened his eyes.
Then, he also turned to his side, facing Eriri.
"Not yet, what's wrong?"
Their eyes met.
Eriri unconsciously started fiddling with the hem of her nightgown.
"I… I can't sleep. Tell me a story!"
(๑-﹏-๑)
This time, the tsundere girl didn't even bother making an excuse.
On that adorable face of hers, it practically said, "Pamper me."
( ˊᵕˋ )♡.°⑅
Yukima Azuma blinked.
"Alright." He agreed, a flicker of mischief in his eyes.
(≖⩊≖)
Eriri didn't notice.
Hearing Yukima Azuma agree, she immediately broke into a radiant smile.
Her tiny fang peeked out.
"Then, let me tell you the story of The Three Little Pigs." Yukima Azuma said.
Eriri was momentarily stunned but then nodded.
Everyone knew this fable.
But if Yukima Azuma was the one telling it, she was happy to listen again.
And so, he began narrating in a gentle voice, his lips curling into a faint smile:
"Once upon a time, there was a ferocious gray wolf. She wanted to eat the poor little piglets."
Eriri watched Yukima Azuma, listening to his deep, soothing voice.
Even though the story was so familiar—
At this moment, what mattered wasn't the content—
But the person telling it.
"The first pig hid inside his straw house."
"But the gray wolf used to be a member of the brass band, so she was really good at blowjobs."
Eriri: ∘ ∘ ∘ ( °ヮ° ) ????
A question mark popped up in Eriri's mind. She felt like she had misheard because she wasn't paying attention.
"And so, with her expert blowing skills, the gray wolf destroyed the straw house."
Eriri: Σ(°ロ°) ????
Eriri was sure she hadn't misheard this time. She immediately raised her hand: "Wait, you… you!"
(づ>/////<)づ
Yukima Azuma tilted his head. "What's wrong?"
Eriri bit her lip.
Thanks to years of drawing doujinshi and working with translation groups—
Even though her English wasn't great, she still knew certain key vocabulary.
But if she called him out on it right now—wouldn't that just expose herself as a perverted girl?!
"Hmph, it's nothing. Azuma, just continue the story." Eriri huffed lightly.
And so, Yukima Azuma continued.
"The second pig hid inside his wooden house."
"But the gray wolf played with LEGO a lot, so her handjob skills were top-notch…"
"She used her expert handjob skills to destroy the wooden house."
For the first time in her life, Eriri felt—
That knowing too much wasn't necessarily a good thing.
Eriri's fair face turned bright red.
Her emerald-green eyes glared daggers at Yukima Azuma.
(｡•̀ ⤙ •́ ｡ꐦ) !!!
"The third pig hid inside his ice house."
"Wait, wasn't it supposed to be a brick house?" Eriri sensed something was off.
But Yukima Azuma ignored her and continued:
"Although the gray wolf couldn't destroy the ice house on her own—"
"She summoned her teammate, bigcock."
"The gray wolf commanded bigcock, launching a fierce assault on the icehole of the ice house."
(note: WTF? What am I even reading?)
Eriri could no longer hold it in.
Was this guy not even trying to hide it anymore!?
"Stop telling stories like this!!"
<(ꐦㅍ _ㅍ)>
If she still had her twin tails right now—
She would've unleashed a full tsundere attack!
But Yukima Azuma put on an innocent face.
"Eh? What's wrong with this story?"
>⩊<
Eriri wanted to scold him, but the words got stuck in her throat.
In the end—
She simply lowered her head and bit Yukima Azuma's arm.
Of course, she didn't use any force.
She was no longer the impulsive girl of the past who would lash out recklessly.
Her small fangs only left a faint mark on his arm.
After letting go—
Eriri glared at Yukima Azuma.
Her expression practically said: "Now you know how scary I am, huh!?"
( ｡ •̀ ⤙ •́ ｡ )
However—
Yukima Azuma gently stroked the bite mark on his arm.
Then, in a soft voice, he said:
"Hehehe, Eriri-chan, since we can't sleep anyway, how about we do some exercise?~~"
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Eriri: ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!!?
"Azuma! Hentai! Beast! Aho! Baka! Yontoryu!"
૮₍ ˶>⤙<˶ ₎ა
Eriri hurled a barrage of insults at him—
But in the end, she gave up resisting.
… And enjoyed it.

The Next Morning
"Sawamura-san, you look quite radiant today."
Kato Megumi studied Eriri's face intently.
This morning, on Eriri's fair cheeks—
There was a healthy pink flush.
Kato Megumi: (≖ᴗ≖ ✿).
"D-do I… really?" Eriri's voice wavered slightly.
Kasumigaoka Utaha narrowed her eyes.
Last night, they had watched a horror movie.
Judging by how Eriri had acted back then—
It would've been perfectly normal for her to wake up with dark circles under her eyes.
But not only did she not have any—
She actually looked more energized than usual.
Suspicious.
(≖ᴗ≖ ✿)
Under the table, Eriri's small hand pinched Yukima Azuma's waist hard.
"Ahem, what does everyone want for breakfast? I'll cook."
Yukima Azuma cleared his throat, diverting attention away from Eriri.
Kato Megumi shot him a doubtful glance.
Then she said, "I want dumplings."
"Wontons," Kasumigaoka Utaha had been craving them for a while.
"I'll have dumplings too."
Yukinoshita Yukino added.
"Anything is fine, as long as it's not too much trouble."
Kirisu Mafuyu didn't want to make Yukima Azuma work too hard.
(note: Eriri was super annoying in the early chapters. But lately, she's gotten kinda cute.)
