After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back-Chapter 251 - 250: Just Give It a Try and Then Die

"So, what should I do next?"

Having confirmed the undercover operation, Kagura Hikaru quickly got into the role.

Inspector Yamazaki tapped his fingers on the table, thought for two seconds, and said, "Take that box of honey home and wait a few days. Then go to the Happiness Sanatorium again and claim you ate the honey and want another jar, and then someone will naturally contact you. Also, make sure to note down the cell number I gave you and notify me immediately if anything happens, understand?" Find more chapters on novelbuddy

"I understand."

Kagura Hikaru took out the box of honey from under the table, planning to leave, but suddenly paused and said, "Inspector Yamazaki, you said that everyone who returned to the Happiness Sanatorium and was pulled into the cult had eaten this honey, right?"

"Not everyone exactly, but at least most of them did."

Inspector Yamazaki watched as Kagura Hikaru took a jar of honey out of the bag, twisted open the lid, and sniffed it.

"Then tell me, can they distinguish between people who have eaten the honey and those who have not?"

"That... should be impossible."

"But this jar of honey really has something peculiar about it, doesn’t it? Although it’s not addictive, everyone who has eaten it says it’s delicious and they all revisited the Happiness Sanatorium without fail."

"That is true, but... hey, what are you trying to do?!"

"Whether it’s like the rumors say, let’s find out."

Before Inspector Yamazaki could stop him, Kagura Hikaru scooped up a spoonful of honey and put it in his mouth.

Quite sweet.

That was the first thought that came to mind.

But it seemed to have a slight taste of rust, maybe from the spoon?

After waiting a few seconds, he felt no urge to take another spoonful.

Which means, even if there was some addictive substance, it didn’t have an immediate effect.

"Hey!!" Inspector Yamazaki stood up, pressing on his shoulders, looking anxious, "Did you swallow that honey? Spit it out now!"

"It’s too late, I’ve already swallowed it," Kagura Hikaru calmly put down the spoon.

Inspector Yamazaki looked like he messed up, covering his head with his hands as he sat back down, "Why did you decide on your own! What am I supposed to tell your family if something happens!"

"Since I acted on my own, of course, I will bear the consequences alone."

"Easy for you to say, you’re just a high school student!"

"The components of the honey were verified to be safe, you said that yourself, Inspector Yamazaki," Kagura Hikaru tilted his head, "Don’t you trust your police laboratory?"

"That’s a completely different matter!" Inspector Yamazaki frantically scratched his head, his hair all messed up, "The bottle we tested isn’t the same one you have in your hand, it might be completely different! And even the one we tested, wasn’t completely problem-free..."

"Hmm?"

Kagura Hikaru furrowed his brow, "What do you mean by that?"

"Actually, there’s something I didn’t tell you before. It wasn’t just the honey’s components we detected." Inspector Yamazaki weakly placed his hands on the table, "We also found human blood..."

............

"I’m back."

"Welcome home... Oh, Hikaru, did you buy honey?"

"Just bagged it, there are some old books inside."

"I see."

After ending the conversation with his stepmother at the entrance, Kagura Hikaru carrying the ’Royal Honey’ entered his room.

He turned on the light, placed the honey in the center of the room, and sat down on the floor, silently pondering it.

After confirming the undercover operation, Kagura Hikaru had left the café ahead of everyone else.

He then performed a live show at a live house, went home after his part-time job, and until now, he had not felt any involuntary desire to eat the honey again or visit the Happiness Sanatorium.

In other words, the notion that this box of honey is non-addictive is highly likely true; it’s just regular honey after all.

The only peculiar thing about it is...

Kagura Hikaru recalled the conversation he had with Inspector Yamazaki in a cafe not long ago.

"Human blood?"

"Exactly," Inspector Yamazaki said worriedly. "The lab people told me that it’s mixed with about two milliliters of human blood."

"Whose blood is it?"

"Don’t know, we’ve conducted DNA identification, but it only revealed that it belongs to a female. There’s no matching information in our DNA database; perhaps she’s a foreigner."

"..."

Mixing human blood into honey seemed like an abnormal, sinister act, but under the context of the Happiness Cult, it surprisingly made sense—after all, they were already crazed.

But unlike Inspector Yamazaki, Kagura Hikaru didn’t believe the blood came from some foreign woman.

Related to the Happiness Cult and female, the only person he could think of was.

Komori Ai.

But why?

Why would the Happiness Cult extract her blood to infuse into the honey; what was the significance of this action?

Yet if one were to say this was purely a superstitious act, this honey had indeed brought back followers to the Happiness Cult.

That is to say, it was not mysticism but a proven practical method that had been effective.

Komori Ai, her abilities, her body, what secrets did they hold...

No, now Kagura Hikaru was more concerned about what the Happiness Cult, likely knowing Komori Ai’s secrets, would do to her.

Mere usage as a blood bag? It couldn’t be that simple; a cult like this, its ambitions would grow with its resources.

Kagura Hikaru couldn’t help but recall the first time he had met Komori Ai, the mind-reading of her that revealed bizarre, religiously-infused images.

Could it be that those were her real memories from growing up within the Happiness Cult?

Those memories filled with blood and corpses...

That plainclothes detective mentioned there was no danger; they had no idea what truly lay inside the Happiness Cult.

In that twisted place, Komori Ai could well have been used as a tool, a weapon to achieve adult objectives.

Until now, it was unimaginable how much the Happiness Cult had utilized her abilities.

And if Komori Ai cooperated actively, then their actions were virtually invisible.

But at least, as Komori Ai grew up, she clearly did not want to remain in such a place, and she chose to escape.

Inspector Yamazaki was right; the Happiness Cult wouldn’t simply let Komori Ai run around outside on her own, she was likely on the run then.

...Could it be when she suddenly said goodbye and left, it wasn’t out of boredom, but out of necessity? Was it because she didn’t want to drag him into this?

But in the end, she still couldn’t escape and was ’welcomed back’ to the headquarters by the people of the Happiness Cult.

The photograph Inspector Yamazaki had taken recently corroborated this.

Damn it, why hadn’t he noticed at the time, he was too slow!

Kagura Hikaru paced back and forth in the room, restless.

He didn’t know why he was so desperately anxious, thinking about Komori Ai’s current situation nearly made him lose his calm.

Logically, he and Komori Ai shouldn’t have such deep feelings. Even if they were a rare breed, in reality, they had only met twice; he shouldn’t be this agitated, it didn’t make sense.

It couldn’t possibly be that he had actually fallen for Komori Ai.

Once all impossible factors were eliminated, the remaining outcome, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

Could it be.....

Kagura Hikaru looked at the box of honey placed in the center of the room floor.

The human blood mixed in there, had it established some sort of connection between him and Komori Ai?
