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

Chapter 192 Mystery

All eyes in the room turned to Kagura Hikaru, each gaze different from the next.

After a brief silence, Kagura Hikaru sighed internally but his face remained expressionless as he said, "Yes, I did indeed make such an arrangement with the Drama Club."

"Kagura...?" Ayakoji Chiyoko was surprised.

She had never heard Kagura Hikaru mention anything like this. Surely, he shouldn't have kept this from her, his girlfriend, right?

And it was with Kohinata Motoyo, of all people...

She was slightly annoyed.

After Kagura Hikaru finished speaking, Kohinata Motoyo added with a smile, "Perhaps you are not aware, but Classmate Kagura was also a member of the Drama Club in junior high school and his acting was quite astonishing."

"How do you know that? Did you research him?" asked Saijo Mari, the President of the Sports Committee, in surprise.

Kohinata Motoyo glanced at her with amusement and said, "Coincidentally, I was a member of the same club as this Classmate Kagura during junior high school. His skills were recognized by me and all the members at that time, which is why we had the idea to invite him to participate in the Drama Club's program. Luckily, he himself agreed and was willing to help out the Drama Club despite his busy schedule."

Ayakoji Chiyoko: "..."

Her gaze fixed on Kohinata Motoyo's flawless smile, becoming increasingly dangerous as the air grew tense.

Kagura Hikaru suddenly got involved with some Drama Club performance without any prior notice.

It sounded like there was some sort of conspiracy afoot.

If it was just Kohinata Motoyo trying to cozy up to her boyfriend with some trickery, Chiyoko could understand, but she couldn't grasp why Motoyo would also make a point of inviting her to join as well.

What was Motoyo's objective, and what exactly was she up to?

For a moment, Ayakoji Chiyoko brainstormed furiously in her mind.

"What about your decision, President Ayakoji?" Kohinata Motoyo asked with a smile, "If you refuse, we won't force you, and we'll just have to give up. At least with Classmate Kagura, an outstanding actor, we should be able to attract some attention. Oh, I forgot to mention, this time Classmate Kagura will play the male lead."

Upon hearing this, Ayakoji Chiyoko's expression changed.

To her ears, these words were nothing short of a challenge.

"If you're too scared to accept, you can refuse, but then Kagura Hikaru will be mine." — Motoyo seemed to whisper into her ear with a soft chuckle.

Faced with such a blatant provocation, Chiyoko couldn't possibly do nothing.

Ayakoji Chiyoko straightened her expression and stared at Kohinata Motoyo, "As I said earlier, the Student Council has many responsibilities, especially for me as the Student Council President."

"So....."

"However, as Student Council President, I naturally cannot stand idly by and do nothing when a club under my supervision is in trouble," Ayakoji Chiyoko feigned a cough, "Therefore, I accept your proposal."

The smile on Kohinata Motoyo's face grew more genuine, "Really? I am so thankful to you, President Ayakoji, for agreeing to our request despite your busy schedule, we really appreciate it and we will try not to cause you any trouble. However, we do hope that you will also take time to come to the Drama Club rehearsals, and of course, Classmate Kagura needs to join too."

"We'll arrange another time for that."

"Sit down, Kohinata, your proposal for the Drama Club is approved, next item," said Ayakoji Chiyoko, slightly irritated, as she gestured dismissively with her hand.

Kohinata Motoyo slowly sat back in her chair, grinning like a triumphant little ermine, and exchanged a quick glance with Kagura Hikaru.

Kagura Hikaru returned her look with a reproachful gaze.

He did not like the feeling of being ambushed out of the blue.

Performing on stage was certainly no problem, as he did not dislike acting.

And to be honest, he was indeed quite talented at it.

But the problem was, this meant he would inevitably come into frequent contact with Kohinata Motoyo, a member of the Drama Club.

This plan is definitely mixed with a hundred percent self-interest!

Kagura Hikaru felt like she had shot herself in the foot.

She really shouldn't have agreed to help Kohinata Motoyo; it was too late to refuse now.

After a lengthy Cultural Festival planning meeting, Kagura Hikaru and Ayakoji Chiyoko stepped out of the meeting room with their documents. Their eyes swiftly turned to Kohinata Motoyo, who was laughing and chatting with the Culture Committee Chairman in the hallway, their gazes were distinct from each other.

Seeing them come out, Kohinata Motoyo greeted the Culture Committee Chairman and took the initiative to walk towards them.

"President Ayakoji, and Classmate Kagura, when do you have time to go to the Drama Club rehearsal? The Cultural Festival is right around the corner, and if we don't rehearse a few more times, it would be bad to make a mistake during the actual performance."

"... What exactly are you trying to do?" Ayakoji Chiyoko asked coldly, glancing at the nearby Kagura Hikaru, "and you got Kagura involved too."

"Eh? Why would you say that, President Ayakoji? I just want to help the Drama Club recruit new members, that's all."

Kohinata Motoyo looked genuinely puzzled.

It was an obviously feigned ignorance.

Ayakoji Chiyoko's chest heaved twice, and she exhaled, "Whatever plots and schemes you have, you'd better not get caught by me. Just you wait and see."

"President Ayakoji is joking," said Kohinata Motoyo, "Both of you, do you want to come over to the Drama Club's dress rehearsal now?"

"I've told you already, the Student Council is very busy right now!" Ayakoji Chiyoko stared at her, expressionless, "After school, we'll go there on our own."

"Is that so, that's great then."

Kohinata Motoyo smiled, clapped her hands together, and looked at Kagura Hikaru, "Mister Hikaru, thank you for your help this time."

"Hmm..."

Kagura Hikaru had an odd look in her eyes and then followed Ayakoji Chiyoko and the other Student Council members as they left.

Kohinata Motoyo kept smiling as she watched their figures disappear into the stairwell before she took out her phone and sent a message.

Kohinata Motoyo: [It's a success, they both agreed.]

Kiryu Hina: [What are you really thinking.]

Kiryu Hina: [Helping me offers no benefit to you.]

Kohinata Motoyo: [Well, what do you think?]

Kiryu Hina: [...]

Kiryu Hina: [I won't be there for the rehearsal.]

Kohinata Motoyo: [Of course, everything waits for the actual performance.]

[Kiryu Hina has gone offline]

The phone screen turned black, reflecting Kohinata Motoyo's gentle smile tinged with a hint of slyness.

She tapped the phone against her chin, chuckled, and pocketed it before turning away.

Kagura Hikaru has her own goals, Ayakoji Chiyoko has her own goals, and Kiryu Hina has her own goals as well.

Their demands are all very simple and straightforward at a glance.

But Kohinata Motoyo is different from them.

"Really looking forward to it, the Cultural Festival," she said softly, her eyes twinkling with an unpredictable shimmer.
