After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back-Chapter 225 - 224 Observations at Tsukinomori Girls’ Academy
"That’s good to hear," Sakata Asahi let out a sigh of relief and skirted away from the topic of that man. "Do you still keep in touch with Hina? She didn’t come today?"
"Yes, she’s left the Student Council. And, our relationship isn’t very good right now."
"I see…" Sakata Asahi’s expression became complicated, but she quickly put on a smile, "Come on, let me show you around my current school."
The main group from Uka entered Tsukinomori and began their tour of the campus scenery and the clubs.
With each literary club they passed, the visiting army from Ugao High lost a few members.
The students representing Uka were none of the introverted, shy types, except for those from the Student Council. They easily struck up conversations with the girls of Tsukinomori who shared their interests, naturally falling behind the main group.
No, to be precise, it was they who left the main group behind.
This was an opportunity for exchange, and Ayakoji Chiyoko did not chastise them for breaking ranks, allowing them to go their ways.
In fact, the Student Council of Uka was also engaging in an exchange with the Student Council of Tsukinomori.
Especially Ayakoji Chiyoko’s current, inexperienced Student Council sprouting department needed to learn from those with experience for future reference.
The process went smoothly; the members of Tsukinomori’s Student Council were friendly and willing to answer many questions.
The only pity was that Sakata Asahi, as the President of Tsukinomori Girls’ Academy, had been clinging to Kohinata Suse from beginning to end.
Ayakoji Chiyoko watched the two admiring flowers at the edge of the school flowerbed, far from the main group, and she secretly curled her lip.
It was ironic that Sakata Asahi still considered herself a friend when she became so enchanted by Kohinata Suse that she couldn’t tear herself away. But Chiyoko had held no expectations from the start.
Still, not even offering a greeting was indeed strange.
The puzzle in Ayakoji Chiyoko’s mind went round and round until, upon glancing at Kagura Hikaru at her side, she instantaneously solved the mystery.
She still remembered the Uka High sports festival.
How could she forget? That was the first time she learned Kagura Hikaru’s true identity, from Sakata Asahi’s own mouth.
First overheard, then pressed, and finally confirmed the correct person, Ayakoji Chiyoko began a relationship with Kagura Hikaru.
In some sense, Sakata Asahi could even be considered their matchmaker.
Although the matchmaker herself had a high opinion of Kagura Hikaru—that was.
When Ayakoji Chiyoko accidentally overheard their conversation, Sakata Asahi was even berating Kagura Hikaru, accusing him of being a scumbag who played with people’s feelings.
Sakata Asahi, as the former close friend of Kohinata Suse, fiercely protected her and was extremely hostile toward Kagura Hikaru, even believing he had seduced Suse and caused her to make a grave mistake.
She not only had to endure a painful and erroneous relationship experience and harm from a jerk but also lost an important friendship with Hina.
For this reason, she even considered concealing the truth after learning it from Kiryu Hina.
Objectively speaking, she might have had good intentions, fearing that another female friend was about to be deceived by a jerk.
But in Ayakoji Chiyoko’s eyes, this was nothing but meddlesome. Read the latest on novelbuddy
No matter what the answer was, what the truth was, what the consequences were, what the outcome was, she should bear it alone.
What right did an outsider have to make decisions for her?
Later, after somewhat forcibly extracting the answer from Sakata Asahi, the two of them stopped communicating for a while.
It wasn’t until Ayakoji Chiyoko became President of the Student Council that she took the initiative to contact Sakata Asahi to organize this cultural exchange event with Tsukinomori Girls’ Academy.
Since then, their relationship had become somewhat awkward.
However, in the end, Sakata Asahi mustered up the courage to inquire about Ayakoji Chiyoko’s current relationship with Kagura Hikaru.
At that time, Ayakoji Chiyoko hadn’t gotten the new school regulations approved yet, so she skirted around the topic and only said that they had become friends.
If it were now, she might have simply answered that they were dating.
Then, Sakata Asahi’s expression would have definitely been amusing.
Right now, by deliberately keeping Kohinata Suse away and preventing her from having any contact with Kagura Hikaru during this visit, she revealed that she actually understood nothing.
To those who are too confident in themselves, they can appear quite foolish in the eyes of others, and perhaps that could be considered a lesson.
Ayakoji Chiyoko looked at Sakata Asahi’s retreating figure, scoffed inwardly, and turned to whisk Kagura Hikaru away.
"Let’s go, we’ll take a look at the Student Council office in Tsukinomori, and have a cup of tea while we’re at it."
Not far away, Sakata Asahi, who noticed their movement, tugged on Kohinata Suse’s sleeve to remind her, "They’re heading to the Student Council now, let’s go too."
"Mhm, can we wait a little?"
"Haven’t had enough of looking around, have you? Well, it makes sense, Suse, you’ve loved flowers since way back."
"It’s not because of that..." Kohinata Suse said while stroking the petals of a sunflower and spoke, "Asahi, you’ve been intentionally letting me be alone today, why is that? If you just want to chat, there should be plenty of other opportunities later on."
"So you really noticed, huh." Sakata Asahi, feeling somewhat embarrassed, scratched the back of her head and chuckled, "No wonder you’re Suse, you’ve probably guessed everything I’m thinking, right?"
"How could I, I’m not capable of mind-reading."
Kohinata Suse chuckled and shook her head, "Tell me, do you need my help with something urgent?"
"Of course not!"
"Then what is it...?"
"...Alright, I’ll be honest, it’s all because of Kagura Hikaru."
"Kagura? What about him?"

"What about him, you ask, don’t you know what kind of person he is yourself?" Sakata Asahi posed with a look of ’I can’t deal with my airheaded best friend,’ hands on hips, "That guy is now at the same school as you, just this fact alone is making me very anxious, worried he might do something to you again."
"Not just at the same school, we’re also classmates."
"Huh?"
"It was my special request to the teacher when I transferred schools. It’s a pity I didn’t get a seat next to him, but I’m quite happy just being able to attend classes with him from such a close distance."
"Huh??"
Seeing Sakata Asahi’s exaggerated expression, Kohinata Suse was puzzled for a moment, then realized something, "Asahi, you don’t think Kagura is pursuing me, do you?"
"Isn’t he?" Sakata Asahi looked astonished, "He was engrossed with you in the past, and now that you’re back in the country, I’m worried he’s going to entangle you again..."
"Pfft, entangle? Are you talking about that taciturn Kagura...?"
It seemed she pictured that scenario for a moment, then Kohinata Suse found it so amusing she laughed to herself.
Sakata Asahi’s face became increasingly uncertain.
"Sorry, Suse, what is your relationship with him now? You seem... not to dislike that person."
"Why would I dislike him, I really like him. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have confessed to him during middle school, even knowing he had a girlfriend."
"Suse...?!"
"Ah, right, I haven’t told you about this yet."
Kohinata Suse tucked her long hair behind her ear and gave Sakata Asahi a shy smile, "Originally, I was the one chasing after him, insisting that he date me. In the end, Hina found out. It was so embarrassing."
