All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends-Chapter 244: Yukima Azuma: Superpower!

Shijo Maki woke up, startled as she sat up abruptly.

Σ(°△°ꪱꪱꪱ)

Scanning her surroundings, she saw only a desolate sandy shore.

Not far away, Shinomiya Kaguya was in a similar state.

Her mind quickly rewound to recall what had happened.

A fleeting look of panic flashed through Shijo Maki's eyes.

She immediately stood up, intending to look for Yukima Azuma.

"No need to rush, he's definitely nearby and woke up before us."

Shinomiya Kaguya's voice rang out.

Hearing this, Shijo Maki froze.

She wanted to ask what made Shinomiya Kaguya so sure—

But just as she was about to speak, her chest trembled.

A dull pain throbbed in her chest.

Shijo Maki, who had extensive knowledge of first aid and a sharp mind, immediately realized—most likely, some one had performed CPR on her.

At the same time, upon realizing this, she also felt a strange lingering sensation on her lips.

Wait, could it be…?

( ˶°ㅁ°) !!

Shijo Maki's gaze shifted toward Shinomiya Kaguya's lips.

Then, she was met with a fierce glare from Shinomiya Kaguya.

<(ꐦㅍ _ㅍ)>

Faced with that sharp stare, Shijo Maki quickly dismissed the thought from her mind.

The situation was extremely dire; this was purely a medical rescue action with no ulterior motives.

At that moment, rustling sounds came from the nearby forest.

The two girls immediately became alert, looking toward the source of the noise.

When they saw a young man emerge from the trees, carrying two wild rabbits in his hands,

They couldn't help but sigh in relief, even showing a hint of joy on their faces.

"You two are finally awake."

Yukima Azuma greeted them.

"Where is this place?" Shinomiya Kaguya asked with a sliver of hope.

She hoped that the three of them had only been washed ashore on an uninhabited coastal area.

But Yukima Azuma shook his head, shattering that hope.

"A deserted island. More precisely, a mountainous center with surrounding primeval forest."

Upon hearing this, Shinomiya Kaguya turned her head toward the sea.

The sky had yet to brighten, thick dark clouds completely obscuring the sun.

Faint flashes of lightning flickered within the clouds.

On the vast, boundless ocean, a thin mist quietly spread.

It looked exactly like the opening scene of a disaster-horror movie.

Given the current conditions—

A rescue helicopter would have difficulty taking off.

Search boats had likely begun their journey.

But visibility at sea was limited.

And there was no telling how far this deserted island was from Hawaii.

Thus, the timing of the rescue remained uncertain.

As if to confirm Shinomiya Kaguya's speculation,

A drizzle started to fall again.

But this time, none of the three dared to underestimate this persistent rain.

"Let's go, we should check the foot of the mountain and see if there's a cave to shelter in."

"I've already surveyed the area; there don't seem to be any large dangerous beasts on the island."

"The only things we need to watch out for are snakes and pythons."

Yukima Azuma's tone carried no hint of pessimism.

It was as if he was merely on a trip.

It felt exactly like participating in a self-enrolled survival experience on a deserted island.

Hearing this, both girls nodded slightly.

The three of them moved toward the sparse forest ahead.

A subtropical deserted island had many advantages.

For example, fresh water was abundant, and there was no need to worry about hypothermia.

But at the same time, there were harsh conditions to endure.

Leaving other concerns aside, the most troublesome issue was—mosquitoes.

Wild mosquitoes in the wilderness were humanity's greatest enemy.

Even more dangerous than wild beasts.

Shijo Maki swatted away the buzzing mosquitoes around her, frowning in discomfort but not uttering a single complaint.

Shijo Maki: (ง'̀-'́)ง

Mosquitoes: ⎛⎝( ` ᢍ ´ )⎠⎞ᵐᵘʰᵃʰᵃ

However, when she looked at Yukima Azuma, she couldn't help but curiously ask:

"Why aren't the mosquitoes biting you?"

Yukima Azuma had quite a bit of exposed skin, yet not a single mosquito approached him.

"Superpower." Yukima Azuma bluntly stated the truth.

(˵ •̀ ᴗ - ˵ ) ✧

Then he waved to the two girls. "Come closer to me, that way the mosquitoes won't bite you either."

ヾ(๑╹◡╹)ﾉ

Shijo Maki looked at him with suspicion.

(≖_≖ )

Although she felt that, in this situation, Yukima Azuma wouldn't take advantage of the opportunity to do anything improper—

After all, while he usually loved teasing her, he was also a reliable person.

Still, no matter how she thought about it, this sounded like an excuse to take advantage of others...

Shinomiya Kaguya had the same doubts.

But despite that, she still stepped closer to Yukima Azuma.

And then, something miraculous happened—

The swarm of mosquitoes that had been buzzing relentlessly around her just moments ago—

All vanished.

Witnessing this incredible sight, Shinomiya Kaguya's red eyes lit up with astonishment.

( ◉o◉)

Then, she recalled past events related to Yukima Azuma.

Looking at him, her eyes seemed to glow with newfound intrigue.

Seeing this, Shijo Maki also hesitantly stepped closer.

(,,¬﹏¬,,)

"Well… there's no other choice. Who knows what kind of viruses those mosquitoes might be carrying?"

"If we get sick in the wilderness like this, then—"

Before she could finish, Yukima Azuma flicked her lightly on the forehead.

Shijo Maki held her forehead, staring at him blankly.

She had no idea why she got flicked.

"Don't say things that trigger a death flag." Yukima Azuma's tone was somewhat stern.

In the wild, falling ill would have severe consequences.

Before, even when Shijo Maki constantly cursed him to die,

Yukima Azuma never really minded.

But from the moment she clung to her surfboard and risked her life charging toward him,

He had resolved to bring her back safely—no matter what.

...

The three of them continued walking through the forest and soon reached the base of the island's central mountain.

Moreover, their luck was incredible.

There was a cave nearby.

Stepping into the spacious cave, Yukima Azuma couldn't help but marvel—this luck was almost too good.

After inspecting the inside and confirming that no creatures inhabited it,

The three of them sat down near the cave entrance.

Looking out from the cave, through the dense canopy of trees, they could only see a small patch of sky.

And that patch was shrouded in an ominous gray.

Yukima Azuma set the two rabbits down on the ground,

Then glanced toward the forest outside the cave.

"With the rain falling like this, it'll be difficult to find dry kindling."

Shinomiya Kaguya frowned.

Earlier, when they were still moving, the discomfort wasn't as noticeable.

But now, after sitting down in the cave—

Even in the tropics,

Being drenched by rain and seawater had left them feeling chilled.

They had to find a way to start a fire.

If it was only for a day or two, they could endure.

But if they were stranded longer, it would become a serious problem.

When it came to survival in the wild, there were two main methods for making fire—

Either using flint, or the friction method with wood.

Both required dry kindling.

Even if the firewood was damp,

As long as there was enough dry kindling, there was still hope of starting a fire.

On the other hand, without kindling, there was no hope at all.

"I'll go dig around under the trees for dry leaves. Maybe some haven't gotten wet yet."

Shijo Maki said as she prepared to step out.

But Yukima Azuma immediately grabbed her wrist,

Pulling the Tsundere girl back.

Under Shijo Maki's confused gaze,

( ╹ -╹)?

Yukima Azuma stepped out into the rain himself.

It wasn't long before—

He returned with a pile of slightly damp firewood in his arms.

As the two girls wondered—

How would he start a fire without kindling?

But a small, bright red lizard crawled up onto Yukima Azuma's shoulder.

Then, they saw Yukima Azuma pick up a log.

The red lizard opened its mouth—

And breathed out a stream of blazing fire.
