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

At the same time, at Haneoka Private High School, Student Council.

It was currently lunch break.

However, Ayakoji Chiyoko was not resting, or rather, she couldn't rest.

She and the Student Council members hadn't even eaten lunch, all gathered around the council's office desk discussing a solution.

An unforeseen, enormous problem had fallen upon them.

"What can we do, the items are most likely irretrievable!"

"We're going to be scolded terribly..."

"It's more than just scolding."

"Damn it, why did such a mistake occur! Who's going to take the blame for this?"

"How should I know!"

Under Ayakoji Chiyoko's leadership, the Student Council, known for its calm approach to difficulties, was now completely in disarray.

Even Ayakoji Chiyoko herself could only sit at the table, fists clenched, her head slightly lowered in silence.

They had unintentionally caused a big problem.

The cause was as follows.

Since the last successful cultural exchange with Tsukinomori Girls' Academy, Sakata Asahi, representing the Moon Forest Student Council, had naturally extended an invitation for a second exchange, this time by sending a delegation from Tsukinomori to Ugao High.

The friendly exchange between students of both schools was a good thing no matter how one looked at it.

Ayakoji Chiyoko even specially entrusted the school's Drama Club to prepare a theatrical performance as a welcome for the guests from Tsukinomori.

In response, the ladies from Tsukinomori decided to bring over some of their club's paintings, sculptures, and creative crafts to hold a small exhibition at Ugao High.

The Yuqiu Student Council promised to take care of the transportation, dispatching a school utility truck to help them transport the exhibit items.

That's when things went wrong.

According to the school worker who was responsible for driving that day, after the exhibition items were loaded and the vehicle had departed, he drove towards Ugao High as usual, but he stopped the vehicle outside a public restroom due to a stomachache and went to use the toilet, continuing to the school after he finished.

When they got out of the truck to unload, the Discipline Committee members discovered that all the exhibit items inside had vanished without a trace.

When the truck had left Tsukinomori Girls' Academy, it was full of exhibition items, but by the time it arrived at Ugao High, they had disappeared.

The school worker argued his case emphatically, insisting he had not stolen anything. He couldn't possibly have stolen that much by himself; he just stopped for a bathroom break and the goods disappeared as if by magic.

Upon hearing about the incident, the inquiries from Tsukinomori Girls' Academy were very embarrassing for Ayakoji Chiyoko.

The missing student works were outstanding pieces from various Tsukinomori cultural clubs, with most being keepsakes left by past graduates. They held high sentimental value for Tsukinomori, but due to Ugao High's fault, the entire exhibition had gone missing, a responsibility the Student Council couldn't escape.

Now, Ayakoji Chiyoko's Yuqiu Student Council faced a serious diplomatic issue, and the fatal part was that they were in the wrong.

For years, Ugao High had maintained a good relationship with nearby Tsukinomori Girls' Academy. Last time, when Ugao High ran short of sports equipment for the sports festival, Tsukinomori even helped them out, but Ugao High 'bit the hand that fed them.' Relations between the two schools had reached a freezing point at this stage.

Even if they were to reconcile later, the second exchange was definitely off.

Simply put, they had caused a disaster.

And undoubtedly, it was the biggest disaster Ayakoji Chiyoko had caused since becoming Student Council President.

Ayakoji Chiyoko sighed, stepped out of the office, and made a phone call to Sakata Asahi.

The phone was quickly answered.

"Hello, Asahi."

"What's going on, Ayakoji Student Council President."

"...How are things on your end?"

"Everyone's complaining to me, I don't have a moment of peace, what about you?"

Sakata Asahi's tone wasn't good, and Ayakoji Chiyoko could understand.

If the same thing happened to her, she wouldn't be in a good mood either.

This recent issue at Uka had offended the majority of the literary and artistic clubs at Tsukinomori Girls' Academy. As one of the 'culprits' who proposed the second exchange meeting with Ugao High, Sakata Asahi was also not in a good situation, bearing a lot of pressure in Ayakoji Chiyoko's stead.

Apologetically, Ayakoji Chiyoko said, "I will try my best to retrieve the items."

"That would be best."

After that, Sakata Asahi hung up on her.

If it were any other time, Ayakoji Chiyoko would have found her rude, but now she could only helplessly shake her head.

After school, she went with a Discipline Committee member again to talk to the staff member who was driving that time, hoping to find some clues, but the guy had an attitude like a dead pig not afraid of boiling water, very negative, making Ayakoji Chiyoko very frustrated.

In the end, they still came up empty-handed.

Moreover, somebody had leaked this issue to the school forum.

There were already rumors disadvantageous to Ayakoji Chiyoko circulating on the forum, and with the Student Council losing the exhibition items of the Tsukinomori clubs, bad reviews about Ayakoji Chiyoko kept increasing among Haneoka students.

This matter also troubled her deeply.

One trouble followed another, making Ayakoji Chiyoko feel like she was probably being targeted, and she had a feeling it was not just an illusion.

Leaving school and checking the time, Ayakoji Chiyoko quickly walked towards the train station and soon arrived at the Kagura's house.

She had been visiting Kagura Hikaru's house almost every day recently, even having dinner there, almost as if she were living there.

"Oh my, Chiyoko-chan, welcome."

"Good afternoon, auntie, sorry to disturb you."

Kagura Hikaru's stepmother warmly welcomed her in as usual.

Ayakoji Chiyoko made her way upstairs with practiced ease.

As expected, Kagura Hikaru was in his room, reading a book in his chair.

Seeing him, a smile quickly spread across Ayakoji Chiyoko's face as she walked over and pressed down on his shoulders from behind, "Kagura, what are you reading?"

Seemingly startled, Kagura Hikaru's shoulders shook and he cautiously turned around, "It's you, Chiyoko..."

"What's with that expression?" Ayakoji Chiyoko hugged him, then suddenly froze, leaned in close to his clothes, and sniffed, "Wait, this smell..."

Her eyes suddenly became cat-like, the eyes of a predator.

"Did you meet with Kohinata Suse today?"

"Huh? How do you know—" Kagura Hikaru's eyes widened in shock, but then stopped as he realized he might have let something slip.

"Why? I told you she and Kiryu Hina are together, they're scammers, absolutely not trustworthy!"

Ayakoji Chiyoko moved in front of Kagura Hikaru and grabbed his shoulders firmly, "She didn't tell you something strange, did she? Don't believe her, it's all fake."

"Chiyoko...."

Kagura Hikaru's face showed hesitation, "We went to Bunkyo Middle School today, where I used to study, and she... indeed told me some unusual things."
