So, Eriri completely forgot that Kirisu Mafuyu was also renting a place at Yukima's.
And just like that, she walked straight into the trap.
She was caught red-handed by her homeroom teacher.
Copying homework was out of the question.
Eriri had no choice but to do it herself as best as she could.
Whenever she didn't understand something, she asked Yukima Azuma.
Might as well treat it as a supplementary study session.
To be fair, Kirisu Mafuyu wasn't wrong. For a student like Eriri, who had been struggling and barely passed the semester exams...
Summer homework was something she had to take seriously.
Otherwise, when the next semester started, there was a high chance she wouldn't be able to keep up with the lessons.
And when the final exams came around, she would end up cramming in tears again.
Watching Eriri struggling to solve a math problem...
Yukima Azuma reached out and gently patted her signature blonde hair.
It's fine. A little airheadedness is cute too!
After getting her "comforting head pats," Eriri felt a bit better.
And her reaction wasn't anything special.
After all, the two had already shared much more intimate moments before.
These little physical gestures...
As long as no one else was around, even a tsundere like Eriri could accept them normally.
After receiving her "comforting head pats,"
Eriri suddenly remembered something.
She put down her pen and took an envelope out of her bag.
"Azuma, I saw that the mailbox outside was open earlier."
"I thought it was just newspapers or something, so I glanced inside. But it turned out to be a letter."
"So I grabbed it on my way in, but I forgot to give it to you until now."
()
Yukima Azuma took the envelope and flipped it over for a closer look.
There was no sender's name.
But on the recipient's side, "Yukima Azuma" was neatly written.
The handwriting was graceful and pleasant to the eyes.
Staring at the envelope, Yukima Azuma felt a bit puzzled.
Who would send him a letter?
"In this day and age, someone still writing letters instead of just texting on Line... That's pretty rare."
Eriri also chimed in, curiously staring at the envelope in Yukima Azuma's hand.
( )
Yukima Azuma opened the envelope along the sealed edge.
Inside, there were two sheets of letter paper.
Unfolding them, he saw a handwritten letter.
[Dear Onii-chan-sama, I hope this letter reaches you safely.]
Just reading the first line, Yukima Azuma immediately knew who the sender was.
Even though for him, only a little over a month had passed...
For the girl who wrote this letter, it had been a long three years.
Yukima Azuma gently ran his fingers over the letter paper.
He wondered what she had felt when she wrote this letter...
Lowering his gaze, he continued reading.
[As promised, I have patiently waited for three years. Now that the three-year period is over, I am sending you this letter.
Even though you said we would meet again after three years, I can't help but feel a little anxious. After all, the way we met was already so strange.
I have arrived in Tokyo and have heard a lot about you. I wonder if Onii-chan still remembers this little sister of yours?
We will be seeing each other soon. If Onii-chan still remembers me, I will happily give you a hug filled with longing.
If Onii-chan has forgotten me, that's okay too. I will pretend we never met and let us have a new encounter from the beginning.
Dear Onii-chan, I hope this letter reaches you safely. I did not leave my name, but my longing and anticipation are completely real.]
These were the most important lines in the letter.
Aside from that, there were many small things the girl wanted to share.
Every stroke of her handwriting carried deep longing.
Yukima Azuma carefully folded the letter and placed it back into the envelope.
Sasuga Yuki.
Even though they had made a promise for three years, more than three years had already passed.
Yet she still worried that time wasn't enough, so she didn't rush to find him immediately.
Instead, she sent a letter first, preparing for a reunion where they would pretend to be strangers.
If Yukima Azuma recognized Yuki, then that would be wonderful.
But if something unexpected had happened, causing Yukima Azuma to lose his memories of Yuki
She could temporarily use a new identity to get to know him again.
This approach was meant to minimize any trouble for Yukima Azuma as much as possible.
After putting away the envelope,
Yukima Azuma couldn't help but sigh.
Sasuga my Imouto.
She's already in Tokyo?
Saying they would meet again soon just when would that be?
A sense of anticipation rose within Yukima Azuma.
Seeing his expression, Eriri revealed a doubtful look.
"Azuma, was that letter from someone you know?"
Eriri considered herself to have asked in a very subtle way.
"Umu, it's from my little sister."
Yukima Azuma replied.
Hearing that, Eriri blinked her emerald green eyes.
( ®®) !!
Little sister?
Azuma has a little sister!?
Since she didn't know much about Yukima Azuma's family background,
She only knew that he had moved from Chiba to Tokyo
And had been living alone ever since.
So, Eriri wasn't sure whether Yukima Azuma had any siblings.
But thinking about it, it wasn't that surprising.
Even if they weren't biological siblings,
They could be cousins within the family.
Eriri herself had a few like that.
It wasn't anything strange.
She even had an older sister with pure British blood.
Eriri simply assumed that the letter was from a cousin of Yukima Azuma.
"So it's imouto-san. Did she write about something important?"
()
Her sharp eyes twinkled with curiosity.
In the future, she would become Yukima Azuma's wife.
Building a good relationship with his little sister wouldn't hurt!
Hearing Eriri call Yuki "imouto-san," Yukima Azuma's expression turned a bit complicated.
He had a strong feeling that Yuki would never acknowledge Eriri as her sister-in-law.
"Not really. She just wrote to tell me she's arrived in Tokyo."
Yukima Azuma casually brushed the topic aside.
Hearing that, Eriri let out a small "oh."
So, it wasn't anything troublesome.
That meant the most important thing right now was still her homework!
Otherwise, when school started tomorrow, the one needing help wouldn't be the imouto-san
But herself, Eriri!
q(ЇЇ)p
"Azuma, how do I do this?"
(ЇЇ)
Looking back at her workbook, Eriri gave up on thinking and chose to rely on Yukima Azuma instead.
Yukima Azuma chuckled, grabbed a pen and paper, and started explaining the problem to her.
....
The next day.
Summer vacation had officially ended.
The weather still carried a trace of summer heat, but the stifling humidity was gone.
In the early morning and evening, when the wind blew, wearing only a short-sleeved shirt would make one shiver from the cold.
Kirisu Mafuyu had woken up early, dressed in her elegant small blazer, and headed to Toyogasaki Academy.
As a teacher, there was much to prepare on this first day of the new term.
Last night, Eriri had stayed over at Yukima's place.
When Yukima Azuma returned from his morning run, she was still curled up in bed, refusing to get up.
After all, she had stayed up late catching up on her summer homework.
Once Yukima Azuma finished washing his face,
He stood in front of Eriri's door, took out a key, and unlocked it.
Come to think of it, Yukima Azuma now had a total of four room keys.
After returning from Hokkaido, Eriri had given him her room key.
Kato Megumi had handed hers over as soon as she moved in with Yukima.
As for Kasumigaoka Utaha, she had given him hers even earlierright on the day they returned from the book signing event.
The last one to hand over a key was Kirisu Mafuyu.
A few days ago, after a conversation with Yukima Azuma,
For the sake of convenience in cleaning, she had also given him her key.
Even though Yukima Azuma had explicitly stated during the rental agreement that he wouldn't keep copies of his tenants' keys,
At this point, except for Yukinoshita Yukino, nearly all spare keys were in Yukima Azuma's possession.
As for Yukino she would probably hand hers over soon as well.
....
Upon entering the room, Yukima Azuma saw Eriri, whom he had already tried waking up once before his run.
She was sprawled across the bed, limbs spread out in the shape of a giant "" character.
A trace of transparent drool still lingered at the corner of her mouth.
Yukima Azuma approached the bed and poked her cheek.
"Mmm~... Let me sleep a little longer..."
(* *)
Eriri mumbled in a daze.
"If you don't get up now, you'll be late. You wouldn't want to be tardy on the very first day of school, would you?"
Yukima Azuma tried to wake her up by invoking her perfect oujou-sama image at Toyogasaki Academy.
But Eriri simply turned over.
She had absolutely no intention of getting up.
Ojou-sama image?
Who cared about that?
Sleeping was way more important!
^— .-^ -
The corner of Yukima Azuma's mouth twitched.
( `)
It seemed like gentle methods weren't going to work on this aho-baka girl.
Just as Eriri flipped over
Yukima Azuma raised his hand and delivered a smack to her rear.
SLAP!
A crisp sound rang out, and Eriri let out an aggrieved whimper.
She stirred slightly.
But instead of getting up
She raised her hips even higher.
ЊЌ‹Ќ
Seeing this, Yukima Azuma couldn't help but laugh.
This otaku girl had she "awakened" already?
During their previous seggs, Eriri had applied every doujin technique she knew to their play. Had she gotten addicted?
It seemed that even when given a choice between "waking up" and "WAKING UP!", Eriri still stubbornly refused to leave the bed.
So Yukima Azuma extended his sinful hands toward her waist.
And then
"AHAHAHAHAHA... S-stop... I... I can't breathe!"
"I'm up! S-stop tickling me! I'm getting up now! J-Just stop already!"
"Yame-YAMEROOOOOOOOO!"

Chapter 191: Inter-Academy Student Exchange Program
Sitting at the dining table.
While biting into a bun, Eriri resentfully glared at Yukima Azuma.
( _ )
"What's wrong?" Yukima Azuma asked with an innocent expression.
()
Eriri pouted: "Who wakes up a girl like that!"
Hearing that, Yukima Azuma shrugged.
"Who's telling you not to wake up?"
( ) ~
Eriri gritted her teeth, revealing her small canine tooth.
"Can't you use another way to wake me up?!"
()
For example... a morning k-kiss or something!
(o)
Eriri didn't say it out loud, but that's what she was thinking.
After all, the two of them had already done that.
Using a morning kiss to wake each other upwasn't that a perfectly normal thing?
Hearing her complaint, Yukima Azuma unconsciously recalled the posture Eriri had unknowingly made after he smacked her butt.
Oho, so that's the way she wants to be woken up?
( )
Yukima Azuma misunderstood.
"Exercising a little after waking up is indeed very good, but there's not enough time. You'll definitely be late for school."
Eriri: ( ®® ) ????
Exercise what?
Eriri was dumbfounded for a second but quickly understood what Yukima Azuma was implying.
After all, she was "Kashiwagi Eri-sensei."
If only she could understand math problems this fast, that would be great.
Eriri's complexion, naturally fairer than most, instantly turned red.
"W-Who said that kind of way! Azuma, Aho, Baka, Hentai!"
( //>///
Having just finished brushing her teeth and washing her face, Kasumigaoka Utaha returned just in time to hear Eriri shouting something that included the word hentai.
She suspiciously looked at Yukima Azuma.
Yukima Azuma innocently shrugged.
Today, he hadn't done anything hentai at all.
* * *
* * *
After breakfast, the three of them went out together to the train station.
Getting off at the station near the school, they headed toward Toyogasaki.
Around them, quite a few students in Toyogasaki uniforms cast glances in their direction.
Currently, Toyogasaki Private Academy had three widely recognized beauties.
Kasumigaoka Utaha, Sawamura Eriri, and Alya.
And now, beside Yukima Azuma were two out of those three Toyogasaki beauties.
Naturally, they attracted attention.
However, the boys weren't too jealous.
Not to mention Yukima Azuma's appearance.
The three of them were also members of the same club.
After the resounding success of White Album, Toyogasaki Academy had even promoted their game development club at one point.
After all, it was a club from their school. If the club succeeded, the school also gained recognition.
Many people knew about this.
So, seeing members of the same club walking together was only natural.
Since it wasn't a new school year,
This time, there was no opening ceremony, nor was there a need to gather in the main hall.
Upon entering the school, Kasumigaoka Utaha immediately separated from the two of them to head to her third-year class.
Meanwhile, Yukima Azuma and Eriri went straight back to Class 1-E.
...
As soon as he sat down, Yukima Azuma caught a pleasant scent of tuberose flowers.
He looked in the direction of the fragrance.
Kato Megumi was approaching.
"Good morning, Megumi."
Yukima Azuma greeted Kato Megumi.
Kato Megumi lowered her hand.
"I didn't expect Azuma-san to notice. I was planning to cover your eyes and have you guess who I was."
<()>
Even as she said that...
A beautiful smile still bloomed on Kato Megumi's lovely face.
"Huh? It looks like no one is here. I must be seeing things, how strange."
( )
Yukima Azuma turned his head away.
Kato Megumi giggled.
( )
Immediately after, a pair of soft hands covered his eyes.
"Guess who I am?"
