All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends-Chapter 284: Sora Ginko Looks Forward to High School Life

Meanwhile, Sora Ginko, who was having her photo taken, happened to glance toward the door.

She immediately noticed Yukima Azuma standing at the doorway.

Originally wearing an icy expression, Sora Ginko's eyes instantly widened.

(♡ ὅ ◡ ὅ )ʃ♡

The photographer in charge of the shoot frantically pressed the shutter.

Capturing a different expression from Sora Ginko—what a rare opportunity!

Unfortunately, her gaze wasn't directed at the camera.

"Sora-sensei, that expression just now was truly amazing."

"May I ask if you could look into the lens and do it once more?"

A cameraman couldn't help but ask.

But Sora Ginko only shook her head, then stepped off the photoshoot platform from the side.

After that, she quickly walked toward the entrance.

Watching Sora Ginko's light steps that didn't lose any elegance—

A group of photographers looked as if question marks had popped up above their heads.

(｡· v ·｡) ?

They followed her gaze and turned to the entrance.

Only then did they notice Yukima Azuma standing there.

Several of them suddenly understood.

Naruhodo ne...

So that expression earlier wasn't for the camera.

It was the look she had when seeing someone she cared about.

Looks like today's shoot ends here.

One of the photographers replayed the photo just taken.

Even though Sora Ginko wasn't looking at the camera, that moment's expression was genuinely moving.

Sora Ginko's usual emotionless face was already enough to drive a horde of fans crazy.

But that expression she wore, looking at someone she held dear—now that could truly stir hearts.

(❀❛ ֊ ❛„)♡

As for the main character, Yukima Azuma...

He watched Sora Ginko take light steps running toward him.

And felt... absolutely no special fluttering of the heart.

After all, his senpai always ran over to him like this whenever they met.

Truly, blessed and unaware of it.

...

"You... why did you come here?"

Arriving in front of Yukima Azuma, Sora Ginko blinked joyfully and curiously asked.

"Well, it's spring break now, right? I came to the shogi club and didn't see senpai."

"Keika-nee said you were at a magazine shoot, so I just came straight here."

Yukima Azuma explained with a smile.

Hearing that, the corners of Sora Ginko's mouth rose slightly without her realizing it.

(ෆ˙ᵕ˙ෆ)♡

This year's spring break was an especially important time for Sora Ginko.

To be more precise, it marked the end of her term.

Because this year, Sora Ginko was graduating from middle school.

Once she finished the national integrated exam, she would officially enter high school.

Read 𝓁atest chapters at fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm Only.

And Sora Ginko and Yukima Azuma had made a promise.

They had to pass the entrance exam for Toyogasaki Private Academy in Tokyo.

By then, Sora Ginko would be able to move to Tokyo for school.

Not only could she enjoy school life together with Yukima Azuma—

More importantly, if she were to study in Tokyo, living in Chiba would be inconvenient.

And if she had to live in Tokyo...

She'd have to rent a place anyway, so really, wouldn't it make the most sense to live at... Yukima's house?

╮ (. ❛ ᴗ ❛.) ╭

Already full of anticipation for the cohabitation life, Sora Ginko—

Upon discovering Yukima Azuma had come to pick her up—

Could barely contain her overflowing joy.

It's just that this senpai was a tsundere by nature.

If not for that tsundere tendency holding her back, she'd probably have already leapt into his arms by now.

"The results aren't out yet."

She tried her best to hold back her smile.

Sora Ginko softly said.

The integrated middle school exam was held later than the high school one.

It had already finished now, but the results hadn't been released yet.

"It's early this morning."

Yukima Azuma had already planned to check the results with Sora Ginko.

"Umu, then let's go, back to the shogi club."

Sora Ginko nodded.

Yukima Azuma glanced at the group of photographers and reporters still eavesdropping behind them.

"All done with the shoot?"

Obviously, it didn't matter what the cameramen thought about whether the shoot was over or not—

As long as Sora Ginko thought it was done, then it was done.

Luckily, the magazine cover was already done.

A photo of Sora Ginko not looking into the lens ended up on the cover of the next issue of the shogi magazine.

And just to add, that issue turned out to be the best-selling one to date.

Despite being released during a period with no major shogi tournaments—

It even outsold the issue released during the Ryuuou title match.

...

After leaving the editorial office,

Yukima Azuma curiously glanced at Sora Ginko's left hand.

On Sora Ginko's left wrist, the crown-shaped jade stone sparkled enchantingly under the sunlight,

Swaying gently with her every step.

Of course, Yukima Azuma wasn't looking at the crown-shaped jade bracelet he had given her—The one Sora Ginko always wore on her wrist, even refusing to take off while bathing.

Ginko: (💢,,>﹏<,,) b-baka!

What caught his eye was the paper bag in her left hand, completely plain and unbranded.

"What's that?"

Yukima Azuma asked with a hint of curiosity.

Sora Ginko wasn't the type to carry bags—let alone hold one herself.

Following Yukima Azuma's gaze,

Sora Ginko gave the paper bag in her hand a little shake.

She replied casually:

"Clothes the editorial office prepared."

Hearing that, Yukima Azuma raised an eyebrow slightly.

So they did prepare outfits after all.

But Sora Ginko didn't wear them.

Could it be those kinds of clothes?

(╭ರ_•́)

If it was that kind of outfit, Yukima Azuma was already mentally prepared to give this editorial team a little taste of some capital shock.

"Can I have a look?" Yukima Azuma reached out his hand.

Hearing that, Sora Ginko nodded and handed him the paper bag.

Opening the paper bag—

Inside were two outfits.

A bright red blouse and a matching long red skirt.

At a glance, the design clearly screamed Lunar New Year fashion.

Like something little girls wear when going around to greet relatives and collect lucky money.

But it was completely different from what Yukima Azuma had imagined.

These two outfits could be described as extremely conservative.

The blouse had long sleeves, with no slits or see-through designs at all.

As for the neckline, far from being low-cut, it actually had a high winter-style collar.

The long skirt was even more modest—reaching past the calves.

Yukima Azuma quietly retracted the capital shock he was about to unleash.

He looked at Sora Ginko with slight doubt.

"You didn't have to wear this during the shoot?"

Sora Ginko shook her head.

"I didn't want to change."

If that little reporter had known what Yukima Azuma was thinking...

She'd probably scream out a grievance more tragic than Aqua's.

༼;´༎ຶ ۝ ༎ຶ༽

Every time the editorial team prepared clothes, they were always proper, respectable outfits.

But every time, Sora Ginko refused to wear them.

To the point where, eventually, the clothes just ended up being gifts from the editorial office to Sora Ginko.

The photographers had no choice but to keep changing backdrops and finding new angles for each issue.

They had no other options—this was a shogi magazine.

And there were only a handful of people who could even be on the cover.

Getting Sora Ginko to appear on camera at all was already a blessing.

And then there was one more person—the one the editorial team invited every single issue, but never managed to schedule even once.

That's right, they were talking about Yukima Azuma.

Every time a report of Yukima Azuma's match was published—

Shogi magazine editorial teams across the country were pounding their chests and stomping their feet.

A bishonen like this—even if we used a brick Nokia phone, the cover would still be heartbreakingly stunning!

Damn it! Just let us get one damn shot!
