After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back-Chapter 227 - 226 Chapter The Last Day of the Relationship
"Sigh...."
Asahi Sakata heard Kagura Hikaru sigh and then he said, "Okay, I forgive you."
"Really?" Asahi Sakata suddenly looked up, saw he was not joking, and breathed a sigh of relief, "That’s great, I was wondering what to do if you didn’t forgive me."
"It wasn’t a big deal anyway."
Kagura Hikaru said indifferently, "Is that all you wanted to say? If you’re done, you should go back."
"Wait, wait!"
Asahi Sakata still wanted to ask more questions, like about his relationship with Ayakoji Chiyoko and his opinion on Suse.
Though she had decided not to pry into their relationship anymore, her innate curiosity as a girl still made her eager to know more about these matters.
However, before she could even ask, a figure suddenly emerged from behind a tree next to them.
Ayakoji Chiyoko appeared out of nowhere, her face beaming with a smile, yet her eyes darkly fixed on them.
"What are you doing?"
"Ah...."
As if struck by the petrifying gaze of a Gorgon Snake Demon, Asahi Sakata froze on the spot, turned her head awkwardly, and forced a strained smile: "Chiyoko, weren’t you playing with our school’s cat...?"
"Yes, and while playing, I suddenly realized my ’boyfriend’ (emphasis) and a girl had both disappeared. Do you know what I was thinking?"
"What, what were you thinking?"
Ayakoji Chiyoko showed a warm and gentle smile, "If I accidentally discovered him cheating, I would have to twist off both your heads and throw them into the scenic lake over there. If there were piranhas in it, they’d surely clean the bones nicely, right? Hehe, just kidding."
Asahi Sakata: "..."
Kagura Hikaru: "..."
Words are powerful.
Both of them felt this very deeply.
Fortunately, Tsukinomori had neither piranhas nor unfaithful men and women to decapitate. Stay updated through novelbuddy
"Hehehehe then Chiyoko I’ll go first, you guys take your time talking!"
Feeling an unusual heaviness from Ayakoji Chiyoko’s dark gaze, Asahi Sakata broke into a sweat, quickly ran off.
She felt that if she stayed any longer, she might not get her head twisted off, but she really could end up being thrown into the lake.
Only when Asahi Sakata’s figure was no longer visible did Ayakoji Chiyoko turn her head back to look at Kagura Hikaru with a smile, "What were you guys really talking about?"
"You already heard."
"?"
"Playing dumb won’t help," Kagura Hikaru said, "Actually, you were following us since we left, weren’t you?"
In fact, as soon as he and Asahi Sakata moved away from the main group, Ayakoji Chiyoko had noticed and followed them.
She didn’t show herself, probably just as she said, to catch them in the act.
"Didn’t expect you to notice, I thought I was well hidden. You truly deserve to be called Kagura."
Ayakoji Chiyoko approached with a squint and a smile, lightly bumping him with her shoulder as if she was rather pleased.
At that moment, she noticed that Kagura Hikaru seemed to be always looking towards the school gate, tilted her head, and asked, "Want to go back already?"
"..."
Ayakoji Chiyoko’s cheeks flushed, "You, you’re that eager to go to my house, aren’t you."
"Yes."
"Cough... I’ve already checked, my father is at work today and not at home, and I told the servants they could take the day off."
Ayakoji Chiyoko whispered softly, "That means, from today to tomorrow morning, there won’t be anyone else at home but us."
Today would likely be the last day of their romantic relationship.
Yet, Ayakoji Chiyoko was completely unaware.
Kagura Hikaru glanced at her and then closed his eyes and looked away.
He could not bear to look or listen any longer.
At five in the afternoon, the cultural exchange with Tsukinomori Girls’ Academy ended.
More precisely, the preliminary meeting for a true future exchange was over.
Sakata Asahi and other members of the Moon Forest Student Council were at the school gate, bidding farewell to the representatives from Yuqiu High School.
"President Ayakoji, which station are you going to for your ride home? If it’s on the way, we could go together." one of them suggested.
But Ayakoji Chiyoko turned it down, "Today I have a ride picking me up, you guys go ahead."
With that, everyone else had no choice but to leave and disperse into several groups at the school gate, each returning to their own home.
However, that statement was of course a lie.
No one was coming to pick her up; she had said so only to avoid walking with the other students.

Quietly, Ayakoji Chiyoko exchanged a glance with Kagura Hikaru in the crowd, gave a slight nod, and then separated from him as the two left in different directions.
Over ten minutes later, they met up on a residential street a few hundred meters away from Tsukinomori where Uka students were unlikely to pass by.
"Let’s go then... to my house." Ayakoji Chiyoko took Kagura Hikaru’s hand, smiling like a bride freshly married.
Taking the tram, about an hour later, Kagura Hikaru stood at the doorstep of the Ayakoji family’s home.
What now lay before him was a large estate.
Styled traditionally, as if directly transferred from the Heian Period.
There were even long wooden fences around her house, forming a continuous line; although one could see its end, together they stretched for at least two hundred meters.
And that was just the main entrance.
Upon entering, a pebble-stoned path underneath their feet led windingly to the courtyard.
Crossing the wooden bridge over the stream in the courtyard brought them to the house.
That too was a traditional wooden residence, just like the places where nobles like Tokugawa Ieyasu and Oda Nobunaga in movies resided.
There was even a huge cherry tree planted in front of the house, which must be stunning when in full bloom during spring.
"Please come in." Ayakoji Chiyoko moved forward to open the door for him, welcoming Kagura Hikaru inside.
They changed their shoes in an entrance hall that was even larger than Kagura’s living room at home.
The house was eerily quiet, with nothing but their footsteps on the wooden floor echoing throughout.
It seemed just as Ayakoji Chiyoko had said, today no one would disturb them.
Since entering the house, Ayakoji Chiyoko became even more serene than usual, perhaps enhanced by the surroundings; with her long single ponytail tied behind, she looked even more like a traditional Japanese lady.
"Kagura, please wait for me in the living room for a moment; I need to change my clothes."
Ayakoji Chiyoko led Kagura Hikaru to a spacious traditional room and then hurriedly left.
Kagura Hikaru surveyed the surroundings.
Tatami mats, a low table, paper sliding doors, and no visible electronics.
Pushing aside the sliding door, there lay the corridor and the garden. From here, one could view a rock garden.
The ground was raked into patterns with a stone lantern placed near the center, and a weeping willow planted on the left side of the yard; from where he stood, he could see the wooden bridge and stream they had crossed earlier.
Two words, upper class.
But these had nothing to do with Kagura Hikaru’s purpose; he just glanced and then continued down the corridor to explore other rooms.
Kiryu Hina had already informed him about his target.
Now, he was ready to find the room of Ayakoji Chiyoko’s father, Ryoma Ayakoji, in this exaggeratedly large mansion.
There should be something he needed there.
