All the Heroines are my Ex-girlfriends

Chapter 39: Eriri Foot... Uhm, A Strange Feeling is About to Awaken!

"At least... at least I can't fall behind..."

With this belief in mind, Eriri pushed herself to maintain a steady pace for one and a half laps.

But just before reaching the final straightaway, Kita Ikuyo, the person she had been trailing, suddenly began to accelerate.

Clearly, Kita had saved her energy and was preparing for a burst of speed here.

Eriri, on the other hand, could no longer continue.

There was no way she could speed up.

Her steps slowed even further.

"Hang in there! Sawamura-san, keep going!"

Kita Ikuyo, who had finished the race earlier, turned around to cheer for Eriri.

But Eriri's running had become staggered.

Luckily, she managed to push herself across the finish line.

After two steps of slowing down, Eriri began to decelerate and finally came to a stop.

Her chest felt like it was on fire, with each breath feeling like it was being pulled from her body.

At last, it was over.

Just as Eriri was thinking this, a sudden, unbearable pain shot up from her legs.

"Ah!"

Eriri screamed in pain and, unable to stay on her feet, she collapsed forward.

"Sawamura-san!"

Noticing something was wrong, Kita Ikuyo rushed toward her.

But with the distance between them, it was clear that Kita wouldn't be able to reach her in time.

The pain overwhelmed Eriri, sweat pouring down her face. As the ground rapidly approached, she shut her eyes, overwhelmed with a feeling of helplessness and pain.

And at that very moment...

A gentle force, from her slender waist, caught her and halted the feeling of weightlessness.

Eriri cautiously opened her eyes.

She saw, standing beside her, someone she hadn't noticed before.

It was just like the time in Osaka.

No, actually, it felt just like all the other times before.

The feeling of helplessness in her heart seemed to ignite in an instant.

Large tears rolled down from the corners of Eriri's eyes.

Her turquoise eyes, now brimming with moisture, made her look vulnerable, evoking a deep sense of sympathy.

"Sawamura-san, are you alright? Thank you, Yukima-kun!"

Kita Ikuyo rushed over, her face full of concern for Eriri.

Eriri wanted to respond, but a sharp pain shot through her leg.

The words she intended to speak turned into a sobbing gasp instead.

Seeing this, Yukima Azuma immediately lifted Eriri into his arms.

This action immediately caused Kita Ikuyo to gasp in surprise.

Eriri, with a trembling and clear voice, protested:

"What... what are you doing? (sobbing) Let me go... let me go!"

Yukima Azuma paid no attention to her protests.

In a mix of embarrassment and anger, Eriri immediately opened her mouth and bit down on Yukima Azuma's shoulder.

"Ah!"

Yukima Azuma hissed in pain, realizing just how hard she had bitten him.

Enduring the pain, Yukima Azuma quickly made his way to a corner of the athletic field.

There, they would be out of the view of others who were still completing the physical tests.

Amid the pain and embarrassment, Eriri's mind was completely in turmoil.

Her face, usually composed, was flushed red, with sweat and tears mixing, trailing down her cheeks. She looked like a doll that had been toyed with until it was broken.

'What is Yukima doing? Has his animal instincts kicked in? What is he going to do here...?'

'No, no, this can't happen here! Such important memories can't happen here!'

The more she cried, the more Eriri felt helpless, and the harder she bit.

Until the metallic taste of blood spread in her mouth.

Yukima Azuma carefully set Eriri down in a corner of the stadium.

Kita Ikuyo followed closely behind.

"Uhm, Yukima-san..."

"Eriri's leg cramped up, help me hold her shoulder still, don't let her move," Yukima Azuma quickly instructed.

"Yes!" In a panic, Kita Ikuyo instinctively followed his orders.

She rushed to the back of Eriri and held her still as she lay on the ground.

Yukima Azuma gently lifted Eriri's left leg, which was still cramping.

He untied her sneaker laces and swiftly removed her white sports shoes.

Eriri began to squirm uncontrollably. struggle like a fish out of water, struggling helplessly

Having just exercised, her white athletic socks were now damp with sweat, sticking to her skin.

When Yukima Azuma took off her sneakers, Eriri felt so embarrassed that she wanted to die.

The girl's embarrassment made Eriri almost regain her strength, almost escaping from the grip of Kita Ikuyo.

Yukima Azuma grabbed Eriri's long, white toes, stretched her leg out, and forcefully pulled her toes upward.

"Ah~!"

A soft moan escaped from the girl who was struggling.

It was a sound that could immediately create a rosy atmosphere, causing the listener to blush and their heart to race.

After making such a sound.

Eriri had completely lost the strength to resist.

Her whole body felt like a dried fish, lying still on the ground, seemingly surrendering herself completely to someone else.

Go on, monster, try facing me.

However, after giving up her resistance.

Eriri gradually regained her sanity, quickly realizing that the intense pain in her legs was rapidly subsiding.

Soon, the pain completely disappeared.

Only a slight muscle fatigue remained.

At this point, Yukima Azuma finally let go of Eriri's small feet.

Even though she had just been active, Eriri's body wasn't the type to sweat much, so her white socks weren't drenched.

Through the white socks, her long and soft toes could be seen.

One could also see the faint blue veins on the top of her feet.

Overall, they looked like a finely crafted piece of art, making people want to cherish and play with them.

Uhm, a strange feeling is about to awaken!

Seeing that Eriri still had her leg raised and not moving.

Yukima Azuma reached out and scratched the sole of her foot.

"Puhahaha! What are you doing?!"

Eriri startled and sat up.

When she saw Eriri glaring at her, Yukima Azuma rolled her eyes.

"You had a cramp in your leg, didn't you hear? Aren't you feeling better now? Why are you still holding your leg up… huh!"

While speaking, Yukima Azuma raised her hand, intending to point at Eriri's leg.

But just as he raised her hand, Yukima Azuma suddenly felt a sharp pain in her shoulder.

When he turned to look back.

Yukima Azuma saw a large patch of blood spreading on her shoulder.

Seeing this, Yukima Azuma couldn't help but feel helpless.

Is this girl a dog?

Being called that by Yukima Azuma, Eriri began to react.

It seemed Yukima Azuma had said she had a cramp.

So... was he just helping her with the cramp earlier?

The way he twisted her toes, Eriri had seen it in sports anime.

When Eriri realized what had happened, her eyes showed a clear sense of guilt.
