All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends-Chapter 259: MEM: Too Sour!

Yukima Azuma's gentle demeanor took Saitou Miyako by surprise.

At first, she had only been a manager at a small entertainment company.

Then, out of nowhere, Laplace Corporation reached out to her…

Offering a salary so high that she simply could not refuse.

At that moment, Saitou Miyako felt like she had won the lottery.

Laplace Corporation had already become a household name across Japan.

Even though this was just a subsidiary, the number of people vying for a position was countless.

And yet, she had been personally scouted by Laplace.

After joining, Saitou Miyako had been in a constant state of excitement and nervousness, carefully handling every aspect of the company's operations.

But collecting underground idols and running their social media platform…

Even for a renowned industry manager like Saitou Miyako—

It was impossible to produce immediate, eye-catching results.

It wasn't exactly her fault.

But still, Saitou Miyako couldn't help but blame herself.

After all, Laplace Corporation was paying her a lot.

And today—

She heard that the President of Laplace Corporation was coming to visit.

Saitou Miyako was extremely anxious.

After all, Yukima Azuma was basically the boss of her boss.

She had mentally prepared herself to be scolded for the company's lack of progress.

But instead—

Yukima Azuma… smiled at her.

That smile was like a gentle spring breeze, making Saitou Miyako feel as if her youth had been revived.

Miyako: (∩˃o˂∩)♡ Uwaa! Ikemen saikou da!

All of her worries instantly disappeared.

Saitou Miyako's mind wandered toward… rules.

The young man standing before her—

If he were to propose some "unspoken rules" to her…

Would she accept? Or would she accept? Or would she accept?

Just thinking about it made her giddy with excitement!

(>/////<) ♡

Seeing Saitou Miyako dazed,

Yukima Azuma frowned slightly, wondering what she was thinking about.

Calling her name once, Saitou Miyako snapped back to reality.

She let out a small cough, feeling slightly embarrassed.

"Ehem, so, may I ask—what is President Yukima planning to do next?"

"Will you be inspecting company operations, or reviewing financial reports?"

As she spoke, Saitou Miyako scolded herself internally.

Had she been in the entertainment industry too long?

How had her thought process turned out like this?

The young man before her—

Did he even need to resort to "unspoken rules"?

If he so much as lifted a finger, countless women would flock to him.

Just his ikemen face alone was enough to have women emptying their wallets just to be near him.

Compared to the hosts in host clubs, this young man was far superior in terms of competence and ability.

Unaware that Saitou Miyako had just been fantasizing about "unspoken rules", Yukima Azuma shook his head and said:

"I'm not here for any of that. I want to speak with the company's musicians and composers."

Hearing this, Saitou Miyako was confused.

Why would the President of the parent company suddenly want to meet with the music team?

Surely he wasn't about to start making music himself, right?

Though she didn't quite understand, Saitou Miyako still nodded.

Leading the way, she brought Yukima Azuma to the company's private recording studio.

The music experts in the company—

Whenever they lacked inspiration, they would often work there.

The idol girls had originally planned to approach Yukima Azuma.

But when they saw the manager leading him away—

They all exchanged glances, unsure what to do.

Even though they couldn't hear the conversation between the two—

Just by observing Saitou Miyako's respectful attitude,

They could already guess—

That young man's identity was far from simple.

"That guy… Could he be the famous President!?"

(•̪ o •̪)

"Ah! That's totally possible! I heard the President of the parent company is young and insanely handsome!"

(´⊙ω⊙`)!

"Huh!? Seriously!? I thought the President would be someone really strict!"

"He's too handsome! I wanna date him already!"

(∩˃o˂∩)♡

"I think what you really want is his body…"

(¬`‸´¬)

At first, the girls were full of admiration.

But as they kept chatting, the topic slowly derailed.

There's really nothing girls won't gossip about once they warm up.

And when girls get into a conversation, stopping them is impossible.

As the discussion veered further off track—

"What are you girls talking about?"

A curious voice rang out from behind.

The girls jumped, quickly turning around.

When they saw who had arrived—

They immediately fell silent.

"MEM-san, we… we weren't saying anything."

"We just thought the President might be here…"

Standing before them, with her signature demon horns, MEM tilted her head.

( ╹ -╹)?

"President? Which President?"

"The famous one. Young, rich, and ridiculously handsome."

After receiving confirmation—

MEM's eyes lit up.

( • ̀ω•́ )✧

Ever since Yukima Azuma tricked her into joining Laplace Corporation—

She hadn't seen him visit the company even once.

Sure, Laplace Entertainment treated her extremely well.

But she had bet her entire career on becoming an idol.

And yet—

The person who roped her in didn't even bother checking in.

MEM was still a little pissed about that.

( ｡ •̀ ⤙ •́ ｡ )

Now, hearing that Yukima Azuma was here—

She immediately set off to find him.

The moment MEM left—

The remaining girls let out a sigh of relief.

Even though MEM was humble, with a cute, mascot-like persona—

Her status was undeniable.

MEM was a blogger with over a million followers.

Within Laplace Entertainment, she was practically the senpai of everyone.

Getting caught gossiping about their boss by a senpai?

Of course, it made them nervous.

...

Meanwhile, MEM ran up the stairs, searching left and right.

Before long—

She spotted a familiar figure in the recording studio.

"Kyoko-san! Boss Evil!"

٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-

MEM waved her hand at the two inside.

Saitou Miyako shook her head.

That nickname…

Would the young President get angry over it?

But then again—

MEM was the cash cow of the entire branch office.

And she was personally scouted by Yukima Azuma himself.

So it should be fine.

And as for Yukima Azuma, upon being called Boss Evil—

He turned around, casually grabbing MEM's cheek and giving it a gentle tug.

"You're pretty bold, calling your boss evil."

With her cheek pinched, MEM's words came out muffled.

"It was a joke! But I am super brave!"

( ≧ᗜ≦)

After giving a little 'punishment' to this 25-year-old school girl—

Yukima Azuma let her go and continued working.

MEM stood nearby, watching for a while—

And soon realized what Yukima Azuma was doing.

Wait a second—

Was he composing music?

Was he writing a song?

"Boss, you can make music!?"

w(°o°)w

Looking at the sheet music with the lyrics completed,

MEM was slightly surprised, lamenting the unfairness of the world.

How could this person be handsome, wealthy, and talented all at the same time!?

Just how much did fate favor him!?

Although the song wasn't fully completed yet—

And even if it was, MEM's music appreciation skills were only average—

But just by looking at the lyrics, MEM felt that this was definitely going to be a great song.

"Umu, I really are writing a song."

Yukima Azuma nodded.

In fact, before his school break, Yukima Azuma had already started this project.

Although composing and writing lyrics was a huge challenge for him—

In Yukima Azuma's memories, there were many incredible works from his past life.

He had stolen—Ehem, borrowed—one of them.

So, Yukima Azuma began composing based on his recollection.

Now, the music skills he had developed during his free time at Starry were finally coming in handy.

However, his musical abilities had yet to reach a professional level.

So, he invited the company's professional musicians to discuss and refine the piece.

During this time, in order to complete the song,

Yukima Azuma's music skills had leveled up to 3.

Now, the real-world discussion was finally nearing completion.

With his memory as a foundation, everything became relatively smooth sailing.

Hearing Yukima Azuma confirm this,

Aside from lamenting the unfairness of the world,

MEM also became curious.

"Boss, why are you writing a song? Are you planning to sell it?"

As soon as MEM said this, she shook her head, denying her own words.

"No, that can't be it. You even turned down a billion-yen script, so it's definitely not for sale."

Yukima Azuma nodded.

"It's a Christmas gift for someone."

Hearing this, MEM's immediately turned her face be cat-faced "grr-grr".

/ᐠ,,⩌'︿'⩌,,ᐟ\\

How sour!

This Christmas gift was way too jealousy-inducing!

He gave up a billion-yen script just to write this—

Even invited the company's professional musicians to help compose the song.

MEM felt like she had just bitten into a lemon.

Lemons on the lemon tree, lemons under the lemon tree, you and me!

Thinking of Kurokawa Akane,

MEM could already foresee the brilliantly surprised smile of that genius actress.

So unfair! After the whole "white knight saving the princess" scenario,

Now he's even gifting her a song!?

Even though they were friends,

At this moment, MEM still felt so jealous that her expression slightly twisted.

Meanwhile, beside her, Saitou Miyako, upon learning that Yukima Azuma had come here

just to write a Christmas gift song for someone else,

Her impression of Yukima Azuma changed once again.

Is this what they call a "perfect man"!?

...

After confirming the final chorus of the song,

The composition was finally complete.

Looking at the sheet music, with the title "Another Me in The World" written on it. (note: I seaching gg, is chinese song same name by Amber Kuo.)

Yukima Azuma nodded in satisfaction.

Yes, this is it.

Finally, it was done.

Bocchi would definitely be happy.

After storing the sheet music away, Yukima Azuma waved at MEM and Saitou Miyako.

"I'm heading out first, won't disturb your work any longer."

MEM looked at Yukima Azuma with a displeased expression.

She couldn't help but grit her teeth.

While other women were waiting to receive gifts from their prince charming,

As for her? Just work hard, or else she'd get her bonus deducted.

This gap was way too huge!

Even if she was just a mascot, shouldn't she get some love too!?

But Yukima Azuma completely ignored MEM's grievous gaze and continued walking away.

Indeed, he was very eager—

He couldn't wait to see Bocchi.

(note: FINALLY, IT'S BOCCHI-CHAN'S TURN!!!!!... though I'm not sure how many chapters she'll actually appear in.)
