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

Chapter 150 Let's Break Up

It had rained lightly last night.

It was the first rain since the end of summer vacation.

The rain brought some moist air, cooling off this scorching summer.

As Ayakoji Chiyoko walked through the school's green courtyard, strolling under the maple trees, she could even feel a hint of chill from the breeze.

Although, in terms of actual temperature, it might have been reduced by only about one degree, not that noticeable, but the sentiment mattered.

She was currently on her way to find Kohinata Motoyo.

Not long ago, someone had spotted Kohinata Motoyo in the courtyard, but despite the courtyard not being very large, when she scanned around, there was no sign of anyone.

So naturally, Ayakoji Chiyoko thought of that secluded spot where she first collaborated in negotiations with Kagura Hikaru.

If it was there, indeed, nobody would notice.

Thinking she might find them there, why not go and have a look?

And indeed, she found them there.

Moreover, she saw a quite disgusting scene.

Kohinata Motoyo was giving Kagura Hikaru a lap pillow, with her right hand unfaithfully touching the latter's hair and eyebrows.

Ayakoji Chiyoko's goosebumps sprang up instantly, not as an exaggeration, but for real.

She vigorously rubbed the back of her hand, metaphorically strangling Kohinata Motoyo to death in her mind for a second time to stabilize her emotions, before striding towards them.

Upon reaching them, she stood with her arms crossed, looking down at them as if examining corpses, and spoke expressionlessly,

"You two be mindful of the setting, this is a school after all."

Kagura Hikaru and Kohinata Motoyo probably hadn't anticipated that Ayakoji Chiyoko would find this place, their faces showing some surprise.

"We're not doing anything indecent, and as long as we're not causing trouble to others, it shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Kohinata Motoyo said that, "Moreover, weren't you the one, Classmate Ayakoji, who first said that the rule against romantic relationships is unreasonable and should be changed?"

After speaking, she cheekily hugged Kagura Hikaru's head and pulled his face a bit closer to her somewhat ample bosom.

Ayakoji Chiyoko's cheek twitched.

"Yes, I did say such a thing, but that was in anticipation of the future. Since it hasn't taken effect yet, rules are still rules and all students of Uka must abide by them. The two of you are no exception," she then coldly stared at Kagura Hikaru, "Especially you, Kagura, as the vice president of the Disciplinary Committee, leading such disorder is unseemly."

While speaking, she stepped forward, grabbed Kagura Hikaru's collar, and jerked him up from Kohinata Motoyo's embrace.

"Let's go, come with me," Ayakoji Chiyoko said to him, "There's plenty of work to be done at the Disciplinary Committee, and there's no time for you to be romancing an extortionist."

"Hold on, please, when you say extortionist, are you referring to me?" Kohinata Motoyo asked, surprised, pointing at herself.

Ayakoji Chiyoko glanced sideways at her, "Using someone's psychological weaknesses to force them to do things they're unwilling to do, if that's not extortion, what is?"

"Force...?" Kohinata Motoyo touched her cheek and smiled gently, "If you're referring to my relationship with Kagura, then you must be mistaken."

"Oh, mistaken."

Ayakoji Chiyoko raised an eyebrow and threw Kagura Hikaru back into the chair, "So, the matter about that photo was also a mistake, yes?"

Photo...

At the mention of that word, the expressions of Kohinata Motoyo and Kagura Hikaru both shifted slightly.

"How curious, how did you find out about it?" Kohinata Motoyo didn't look the slightest bit intimidated, but her smile deepened instead, "This matter should be a total secret, except for me and Kagura, there shouldn't be a third person in the world who knows... Oh, I see now, it was Senior Ai Cheng, wasn't it?"

Her intuition was sharp, or rather, she was very confident in her logical reasoning, hitting the bullseye in an extremely short span of time.

Involuntarily, Ayakoji Chiyoko felt a similar sensation she had faced when dealing with Kiryu Hina before.

Unfathomable, incomprehensible, yet seemingly aware of everything.

This type of person, incompatible with her, was the most difficult to deal with.

"The only time we discussed the photo in public was yesterday afternoon, not far from Senior Ai Cheng's house, it seems she overheard us... I'm sorry, Kagura, this was my mistake," Kohinata Motoyo said with a sigh of apology.

Kagura Hikaru remained silent.

He recalled how he had just reminded Ai Cheng Hua Lian not to spread the word, yet in less than an hour, it had reached Ayakoji Chiyoko's ears.

It was the first time he felt that Ai Cheng Hua Lian could be unreliable.

Although he knew, it definitely had nothing to do with her will.

Those targeted by Ayakoji Chiyoko would sooner or later succumb; the former Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee's methods were comparable to a Swiss Army Knife, endlessly emerging, always precisely targeting others' weaknesses.

Whether mentally or physically.

It was odd to expect a well-behaved child like Ai Cheng Hua Lian to stand up to her.

Probably some clue had been discovered, and then she was cornered at the door and forced to confess.

As he was thinking this, Ayakoji Chiyoko and Kohinata Motoyo had already faced each other.

"Stop this behavior now, immediately; this is your final warning," Ayakoji Chiyoko said sternly. "You don't need me to remind you how despicable your actions are."

"Ah, I thought you would understand this feeling, was I wrong?"

"...What do you mean?"

Kohinata Motoyo rested her cheek on one hand, her smile full of deep meaning: "Love unrequited, unable to let go even when you grasp it, isn't that what love is all about?"

Ayakoji Chiyoko understood her insinuations, and her expression turned even uglier.

Her fondness for Kagura Hikaru was seen through...

"I'm different from you!"

"The same, all girls in the world are the same, we all have the same wish, which is to have the best partner," Kohinata Motoyo extended her hand to hold Kagura Hikaru's, "I have found what I want, and I won't let go, no matter what."

"This kind of forceful behavior won't last," Ayakoji Chiyoko said coldly. "You may think familiarity breeds fondness, but Kagura Hikaru isn't a puppet to be manipulated at your will, and others will help him, you won't get your way."

"Is that so, she said that, Kagura?" Kohinata Motoyo looked at Kagura Hikaru, "Will you leave me as she said?"

"Probably," Kagura Hikaru gave an ambiguous answer.

He didn't dare to be too definitive, worried that Motoyo might bring up Hina's photo again.

Frankly speaking, being by Motoyo's side put him under more pressure than spying around Ayakoji Chiyoko.

Although she outwardly depended and complied, Kagura Hikaru was always concerned that if he misspoke and triggered her fury, both he and Hina would be blown sky-high.

The so-called minefield girl was exactly this type.

When with her, every sentence had to be carefully considered, pondered over thrice in his mind before being spoken.

Even if it came to speaking ill of her face to face, it had to be the kind among friends that could enhance their relationship, to minimize her going berserk.

If he were to speak the truth, Kagura Hikaru found it hard to imagine that he could, with time, develop feelings for the current Motoyo, with only worries and fears growing.

Maybe seeing something in Kagura Hikaru's expressionless face, Motoyo seemed a bit disheartened and unexpectedly let go of his hand.

"Is it because things are moving too fast? I see, I understand..."

Kohinata Motoyo made a decision, nodded solemnly, and said to Kagura Hikaru: "Then let's break up."

Kagura Hikaru: "?"

Ayakoji Chiyoko: "?"
