All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends

The second day after arriving in Hawaii.

Today was the sightseeing day.

Each class would tour and experience the local culture in Hawaii, then write a report to submit.

Early in the morning, everyone gathered in the hotel dining area.

Yukima Azuma immediately noticed Shijo Maki with two huge dark circles under her eyes.

She looked completely sleep-deprived.

"What's wrong? You're not used to the time zone yet?"

( ╹ -╹)?

Yukima Azuma asked in confusion.

Shijo Maki slightly opened her mouth, intending to say something.

But when the words reached her lips, she didn't say them anymore.

In the end, she only nodded slightly as if admitting it.

Although the time difference between Japan and Hawaii was quite significant,

As an Oujou-sama of a Shinomiya family branch, Shijo Maki frequently traveled abroad.

Jet lag had long become a routine matter for her.

Normally, it could never cause her to lose sleep to this extent.

The only reason she looked like a panda right now—

Was because she stayed up late last night reading a light novel.

It was her first time encountering entertainment like light novels,

And she happened to start with the masterpiece Youth series.

It would be strange if she didn't get hooked.

Last night, right after returning to her room,

Shijo Maki read Saekano straight through.

However, there was no way she could tell Yukima Azuma that—

She had binged his book to the point of forgetting to eat or sleep, and that was why she ended up like this.

(｡>\\\\<)

Saying that wouldn't just be embarrassing, it would also feel like slapping herself in the face.

"Ohm… is there a volume two of the light novel?"

(,,¬﹏¬,,)

After a brief silence, Shijo Maki still asked.

With her personality, this kind of slightly pleading tone was extremely rare.

But Shijo Maki had really been drawn into the story.

Seeing Shijo Maki's expectant eyes, Yukima Azuma gently nodded.

Just as the girl's eyes lit up—

Yukima Azuma continued speaking:

"Well, there is, but unfortunately, since this is a trip, I only brought volume one."

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

Hearing that, Shijo Maki's small face immediately fell.

(っ- ‸ - ς)

Didn't that mean she had to wait until the school trip ended?

That was still a whole week away.

Even if she ordered it online from Japan and had it shipped express,

It would take at least three days.

Three days without reading the next volume of this Youth novel, Shijo Maki felt like she was going to die.

She didn't know whether it was because she couldn't continue reading or because of the lack of sleep,

But her whole body swayed as if she was about to collapse.

The corner of Yukima Azuma's mouth twitched slightly, and he reached out to support her.

He hadn't expected this Oujou-sama to be this addicted.

"Maki, are you okay?"

Beside them, a short-haired girl ran over and asked worriedly.

Yukima Azuma also knew this girl.

She was a classmate from 1-B.

The only friend Shijo Maki had, and also her childhood friend.

As for her specific name, Yukima Azuma had never bothered to remember it.

But he knew her background quite well.

Her father was the President of a major shipbuilding corporation.

Her grandfather was a board member of the Japan Business Federation AKA Keidanren, one of Japan's three major economic organizations.

It could be said that she was a top-tier Oujou-sama.

After all, only someone with such a background could have grown up alongside Shijo Maki since childhood.

Receiving concern from her best friend,

Shijo Maki steadied herself and smiled awkwardly.

She shook her head vigorously and said:

"There's nothing wrong with me, I'm just not used to the time zone and a little sleepy."

Tsundere.

Seeing her best friend insist she was fine, the short-haired girl sighed in relief.

"As long as you're okay, then I'll… head over there."

She pointed to the opposite side.

Over there stood a male student.

Shijo Maki nodded.

But when her friend actually left, a slightly pitiful look appeared on her face.

(ᴗ_ ᴗ.)

That's just how tsunderes are.

(💢,,>﹏<,,) b-baka!

In reality, she really wanted her best friend to stay with her.

But she couldn't bring herself to say that out loud, and instead, she even said the opposite.

Yukima Azuma shook his head helplessly.

Oh well, this was his fault anyway.

He might as well take responsibility for taking care of this tsundere brat today.

...

The hotel provided a free breakfast buffet.

After finishing their breakfast, the Shuchiin students checked in and gathered outside the hotel.

Several tour buses were already waiting.

Although they called it a cultural field survey, Shuchiin couldn't possibly have these rich young masters and ladies actually walk around to observe.

They boarded the buses.

According to the seating arrangement, Shijo Maki still sat next to Yukima Azuma.

Feeling drowsy, she settled into the soft bus seat.

Her eyelids quickly started battling each other.

(* ´ ﹃｀*)

Yukima Azuma didn't say anything.

Tell her to sleep a little?

Guaranteed, Shijo Maki would immediately force herself to stay awake.

That's just how tsunderes are.

(💢,,>﹏<,,) b-baka!

After waiting for a while, the bus started moving.

With the gentle rocking, Shijo Maki could no longer hold out and dozed off right where she was.

Her little twin-braided head bobbed up and down.

In the end, she leaned toward Yukima Azuma, resting against his shoulder, sleeping soundly.

Yukima Azuma didn't move, letting her lean on him for the time being.

A faint, sweet fragrance brushed past Yukima Azuma's nose.

He took a light sniff, feeling a bit puzzled.

Did Shijo Maki always smell like this?

It wasn't the scent of shampoo or perfume.

More precisely, it wasn't a smell that Yukima Azuma could perceive with ordinary senses.

Just like how Kato Megumi had the scent of tuberoses and Eriri carried the aroma of sweet pears.

Only Yukima Azuma, who possessed supernatural abilities, could perceive the unique scent of each individual.

This fragrance could even change according to the person's state.

For example, when they were afraid, it would carry the scent of fear.

Previously, Yukima Azuma had never paid attention to Shijo Maki's scent.

But now, she smelled exactly like a freshly baked, delicious cake.

Umu, he'd buy a cake for lunch.

Yukima Azuma made that decision.

(っ˘ڡ˘ς)

...

The tour bus glided through a few local streets of Hawaii.

These weren't famous landmarks, but streets rich in local flavor.

The students only observed from inside the bus without getting off.

Finally, the bus headed toward a high school in the area.

The education system and cultural atmosphere here were vastly different from Japan, and even from East Asia as a whole.

Choosing a high school as the final destination.

It was a great way to experience cultural differences firsthand.

This time, everyone had to get off the bus.

So, Yukima Azuma planned to wake Shijo Maki up first.

However, coincidentally, at that exact moment, she opened her eyes on her own, groggily waking up.

(っ˕ -｡)ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁

Even though she hadn't slept for long, Shijo Maki felt incredibly refreshed.

Upon waking up, she was even a little surprised.

In an environment with other people around, she should have been very alert.

As an Oujou-sama, she had been trained in these things—when in an unsafe environment, she was supposed to be even more vigilant.

Yet today, on the bus, she had fallen into a deep sleep without a care.

It felt like there was an incredibly reliable presence right beside her.

Someone she could lean on without any hesitation.

Her thoughts drifted back.

Only now did Shijo Maki realize—she had actually been leaning on Yukima Azuma's shoulder.

( ˶°ㅁ°) !!

She immediately sat up straight.

A flush of red spread across her cheeks.

⁄(⁄ ⁄•⁄-⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄

Her purple eyes widened.

She had actually fallen asleep on this guy!

As an Oujou-sama who had never experienced close contact with the opposite sex,

Shijo Maki's heart was now pounding at an alarming rate.

"Th-thank you."

(,,>﹏<,,)

Suppressing her chaotic emotions, she turned to Yukima Azuma and softly expressed her gratitude.

She had already mentally prepared herself to be teased.

After all, Yukima Azuma loved to mess with her.

Given this kind of opportunity, there was no way he would let it slip—she was sure of it.

However, after she thanked him, Yukima Azuma's face didn't show the slightest hint of mockery.

He merely nodded gently.

As if nothing had happened.

Shijo Maki was stunned.

What was up with him today?

With that doubt lingering in her mind,

She just sat there blankly, staring at Yukima Azuma, unable to recover.

Being stared at like that,

Yukima Azuma was also a bit puzzled.

What's with this tsundere brat?

( ╹ -╹)?

Just as Yukima Azuma was about to ask—

The bus suddenly braked sharply!

Screams erupted throughout the vehicle.

Due to inertia, many students staggered, nearly falling from their seats.

Hiratsuka Shizuka immediately rushed toward the driver.

After all, the young masters and ladies on this bus were quite valuable.

But as she reached the driver, Hiratsuka Shizuka quickly understood the situation.

Not far ahead, a child clutching a basketball stood frozen in fear.

One glance was enough for her to figure out what had happened.

Most likely, the basketball had bounced onto the road, and the child had run after it without checking for traffic.

The driver had to slam the brakes to avoid hitting them.

Classic.

Luckily, nothing serious had happened.

Even though there was no real danger,

In the back row—an "unexpected incident" occurred.

Due to the force of inertia, Yukima Azuma was slightly pushed forward, but he managed to steady himself in time.

However, the one who had been staring absentmindedly—Shijo Maki—was not as quick to react.

Her entire body lurched forward, falling straight into Yukima Azuma.

Her lips landed precisely on his.

(˶˘ ³˘(´͈ ᵕ `͈˶)

A soft sensation spread through him.

Along with it was a sweetness reminiscent of cake.

Yukima Azuma's breath hitched for a moment.

Shijo Maki's already wide purple eyes grew even larger.

Her first kiss… was gone just like that!?

It almost felt like steam was rising from the top of Shijo Maki's head.

(๑/////๑" )

It took her a moment to snap back to reality. She immediately pushed against Yukima Azuma's chest, separating the two of them.

A deep pink flushed up her pale neck, quickly spreading across her entire face.

Even the tips of her small ears burned red.

After retreating to her own seat, Shijo Maki was like a frightened little rabbit.

She curled up tightly against the bus window, her whole body stiff.
