After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back

Chapter 148 This is too much, Suse

In the past, Kagura Hikaru thought of himself as a lucky person.

Being liked by beauties like Hina and Suse at the same time, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call him a big winner in life.

Even now, he still believes this, feeling honored to have the favor of such outstanding people.

However, looking back, he sees that the so-called winner's rhetoric was nothing more than a shallow thought.

Reality is not a romance game.

If you accidentally enter a bad ending, you can't just load a save and start over.

In reality, there is no option to go back; you must bear the consequences of each choice you make.

Kagura Hikaru has already borne the consequences he deserved and has accepted them as well.

But Kohinata Suse, it seems, has not yet acknowledged this outcome.

She, who was supposed to have exited the stage, came back, appending a new sequel to the story in an almost forceful way.

Honestly speaking, it's a form of selfishness.

During junior high, Kagura Hikaru had a part of his heart that wanted to date Suse.

But it's different now.

The greatest reason he was forced into acceptance was that compromising photo.

He needed to find a way to destroy its backup and persuade Suse to give up the idea.

However, because Suse's thoughts were too simple when she was with him, she wouldn't think about anything else, making Kagura Hikaru's mind-reading ability almost ineffective, unable to precisely locate where the backup of the photo was.

Even if it was still kept in the same place as during junior high, he, having grown for over a year, still couldn't reach it.

It's not about willpower.

It's purely physically out of reach.

After all, it's supposed to be thousands of kilometers away.

Keeping a classmate's compromising photo backup in a Swiss bank vault... That's going too far, Suse.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

"What the heck, I tried to help you out of kindness, but why would you refuse me with that attitude and not even explain, that's just too much," Ai Cheng Hua Lian muttered to herself as she walked along the path back to the school building, kicking at the ground.

She imagined a mini Kagura Hikaru doll and mentally pummeled it with her fists. Your journey continues on empire

It was apparently the first time since they'd met that Kagura Hikaru resisted communicating with her.

Even when they were not well acquainted at first, on the train, he would initiate conversation with her.

But not this time.

It was as if he was deliberately protecting Kohinata Suse, his attitude very strange.

He even requested her not to tell President Hina and incessantly urged her to keep a secret.

Ai Cheng Hua Lian could guess that there must be some hidden situation she was unaware of, but still, the matters she couldn't accept felt unacceptable.

More distressing than Kagura Hikaru not saying anything was her inability to assist him.

But having accidentally discovered the truth, could she really do as Kagura Hikaru asked, stand idly by and do nothing?

Does she really think that would be okay?

"Hey, over there."

A voice roused Ai Cheng Hua Lian from her reverie.

She looked up towards the source of the voice and saw Ayakoji Chiyoko standing with her arms crossed at the entrance of the pathway.

"I remember, your name is Ai Cheng, right?" she said.

"Yes…" Ai Cheng Hua Lian hesitantly nodded, "May I ask, what's the matter?"

She knew very little about Ayakoji Chiyoko.

All she knew was that she was the person Kagura Hikaru currently liked, the former Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, currently vying with President Hina in the Student Council elections.

And that she had encountered her a few times while accompanying Ruzaki Mami in dealings with the Disciplinary Committee.

Beyond that, there was no further interaction.

What purpose would such a person have for approaching her?

For a moment, Ai Cheng Hua Lian could only think it was related to the Student Council election.

It couldn't be that she wanted her to be a spy to disrupt President Hina.

But she obviously thought wrong.

"Let's change the location and have a talk," Ayakoji Chiyoko approached, "about Kagura Hikaru and Kohinata Motoyo."

Taken aback, Ai Cheng Hua Lian fell silent, then nodded.

Shortly after, the two arrived at the Disciplinary Committee office and took their seats in Ayakoji Chiyoko's office.

"Have some tea."

Ayakoji Chiyoko poured a cup of oolong tea for Ai Cheng Hua Lian, who expressed her thanks and then comfortably enjoyed the cool breeze from the air conditioner.

It was her first time realizing that the Disciplinary Committee had an air conditioner installed.

Such luxury.

But then again, it made sense, considering the Disciplinary Committee was a major club with a large membership, qualified to apply for such equipment from the school.

Clubs like their Girls' Volleyball Club, since they usually practiced in the school's indoor gym with only fans to circulate air, never had the chance to apply for air conditioners.

They didn't even have a real club room.

She indeed envied clubs of the scale of the Disciplinary Committee.

Noticing her aspiration, the corners of Ayakoji Chiyoko's mouth lifted slightly, "How about joining the Disciplinary Committee? That way you can enjoy air conditioning every day."

"No, that's still..."

"You can manage both your club activities, as long as you participate in the patrols and martial training every morning and afternoon."

"Martial training?!" Ai Cheng Hua Lian exclaimed in surprise, "The Disciplinary Committee has such activities?"

"Of course, how else do you expect to subdue those disobedient students without using force when necessary?" Ayakoji Chiyoko poured herself a cup of tea as well, then sat down behind her desk, lifting the cup gracefully as she spoke.

Having a vague impression that Discipline Committee members only caught students at the school gate, Ai Cheng Hua Lian struggled to imagine them using force to subdue Uka students.

Generally speaking, committee members aren't allowed to be violent, right?

They aren't police or the mafia.

Could it be that they are actually a group of dangerous people?

She began to worry about the reason she had been called here...

Seeing that the atmosphere was set, Ayakoji Chiyoko began to address the main issue.

"Where did you take Kagura Hikaru before? Where is he now?"

"Uh, he should still be in the courtyard, I think," Ai Cheng Hua Lian hesitated then leaned forward slightly, placing her hands on her thighs. "I want to ask something!"

"Hmm?"

"President Ayakoji is also a friend of Kagura's, right?"

Ayakoji Chiyoko raised an eyebrow, "One could say that, indeed. So what?"

"Then, if Kagura is in trouble, would you help him?"

"...The trouble you're speaking of wouldn't have anything to do with Kohinata Motoyo, would it?"

"Eh? You know about that too...?"

"I don't know, but it seems you do," Ayakoji Chiyoko put down her tea cup, her gaze piercingly into Ai Cheng Hua Lian's eyes, "You seem to dislike Kohinata Motoyo quite a bit, right? When you led Kagura Hikaru away, you didn't even want to glance at her, which is quite unusual."

Surely, someone as beautiful as her could not be ignored so easily by anyone, male or female.

But Ai Cheng Hua Lian was different, she had ignored Kohinata Motoyo at that time.

No, she had deliberately overlooked her.

Normally, even strangers don't exhibit that kind of attitude.

So, she must know something about Kohinata Motoyo.

Especially something related to Kagura Hikaru.

"Tell me the details. What kind of trouble is Kagura Hikaru in right now? Tell me," Ayakoji Chiyoko said.

Ai Cheng Hua Lian gathered her courage to inquire, "If I tell you, will you help him?"

"I will."

"Even if it means opposing Kohinata?"

"Do you think I would care about something like that?"

"...I understand."

Taking a deep breath, Ai Cheng Hua Lian slowly revealed the truth.
