"Actually, we started dating last night,"

We started dating last night.

Started dating, last night.

Dating, last night.

Dating, last evening....

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

.......

.....

At the mont when Kohinata Motoyo said those words with a smile, Ai Cheng Hua Lian froze, her mouth agape, her shoulder bag slipping off without her noticing.

Ayakoji Chiyoko fell abruptly silent, an ominous aura swirling around her.

Kiryu Hina imdiately turned her head toward Kagura Hikaru, her eyes filled with hopeful denial.

But the response was a casual nod.

In an instant, the light in her eyes vanished.

"...."

"...."

A suffocating silence spread through the air.

Kagura Hikaru, wordlessly, touched his girlfriend's hand, his eyes seeming to bla her.

For her part, Kohinata Motoyo could only offer a helpless smile and whisper, ".....sorry, I didn't want to hide it from you."

"Why?" Ayakoji Chiyoko blurted out unexpectedly.

Yes, why, why so sudden.

It wasn't just her, the other two girls harbored the sa doubts within.

Overnight, Kagura Hikaru's illness had miraculously improved, and he even agreed to date Kohinata Motoyo, but she had just returned to the country yesterday, and they had no chance to interact before, so how could their feelings suddenly heat up.

For those who knew Kagura Hikaru very well, they couldn't believe that after what had transpired before, Motoyo could be accepted again, there must be sothing amiss.

Was it a threat?

Or like in those risqué manga, hypnosis? Mind control?

The unbelievable scene unfolding before them caused their minds to short-circuit.

"Anyway, let's go inside, don't block the way," Kagura Hikaru said.

Only then did the three girls snap back to reality.

They were standing in the middle of the road, quite conspicuously, and many Ugao High students passing by gave them curious glances.

Ayakoji Chiyoko, however, didn't care and watched Kohinata Motoyo, who was still smiling, with wary eyes.

Kiryu Hina was indifferent as well. By nature very self-centered, her expression shifted as she pondered sothing.

And Ai Cheng Hua Lian, being the most ordinary among the three, was having a harder ti, awkwardly saying, "That... um..."

Seeing her distressed, Kagura Hikaru, considerate as ever, took the lead and started walking forward, with Motoyo who had been holding his arm naturally following.

Ai Cheng Hua Lian, relieved, quickly followed into the school, yet her mood plumted.

She knew this day would co, she knew it.

Kagura Hikaru would one day fall for soone, and that person wouldn't be her.

Even if she had understood and accepted this long ago, why did her heart still ache.....

Lagging behind, Ayakoji Chiyoko and another fixed their murderous gazes on the backs of Kagura Hikaru and Kohinata Motoyo.

Their hearts were inundated with boundless grievances and fury.

From the back, those two looked more like a loving couple..... rather, it seed they could only be seen as perfectly matched!

Just recognizing this fact made the two won want to gouge out their own eyes.

For the first ti, they had soone they liked.

And they had received the news of his recovery.

These two joys overlapped, and this double joy brought even more happiness.

I should have already attained the kind of happiness that dreams are made of.

Yet, why has it turned out like this?

Kagura! I don't want to, I don't want to see! I don't want to look!!

Kagura Hikaru was followed by two girls, with the current and forr Student Council Presidents trailing behind with contorted expressions. This strange sight was witnessed by the students of Ugao High on their way to school this morning.

Clearly, whether it was Ai Cheng Hua Lian or the two Student Council Presidents, defeated in love, they all had a mountain of questions they wanted to ask.

But perhaps due to an inexplicable timidity, no one spoke up.

Ai Cheng Hua Lian parted ways with them in the corridor, heading to the third-year floor, while the remaining four silently entered Classroom 2-A.

This silent atmosphere persisted until Ayakoji Chiyoko and her friends saw Kohinata Suse sit down super naturally with her backpack at Kagura Hikaru's desk, finally breaking their restraint.

"Hey! This isn't your seat, is it?" Ayakoji Chiyoko's tone was a bit impotently furious.

Kohinata Suse covered her mouth falsely, her eyes narrowing with a smile: "Please be assured, I have already exchanged ideas with the teacher this morning. He is very supportive of my idea."

"...This is an abuse of power."

"Where do you get that, this seat is empty, anyone can sit here, right?"

"Then let have it!"

"Ah, President Ayakoji, you are making this really difficult for ."

Ayakoji Chiyoko and Kiryu Hina exchanged glances, filled with regret.

If only they had known, they would have taken the seat themselves.

This was Kagura Hikaru's desk mate spot, such a great seat for flirting!

The three girls' 'joyful' confrontation went unnoticed, and no one saw the forlorn expression that crossed Kagura Hikaru's face when he heard them discuss the seat.

This position originally belonged to Komori Ai but ever since she left, all traces of her presence had disappeared. Nobody rembered that there used to be a girl sitting next to Kagura Hikaru.

It was as if... a lie was covered by an even bigger lie, and nobody talked about her anymore.

She had been missing for four or five days, not answering calls or texts, and nobody knew where she was now or what she was doing.

"That's quite an, Mister Hikaru, thinking about another woman while your girlfriend and ex-girlfriends are talking right beside you."

Kohinata Suse interrupted his thoughts with a smile.

Kagura Hikaru froze for a mont.

"Oh? I was only kidding, but it turns out to be true? That's really an~" Kohinata Suse narrowed her eyes, speaking gently.

"..."

"Well, never mind, treat to a coffee after school to make ands, how about that?"

Kohinata Suse relaxed her expression, laughing as she held onto Kagura Hikaru's hand, the special scent of flowers emanating from her, her fingertips stealthily scratching his palm, causing ripples in his mind.

His girlfriend saw his wavering, and Suse's smiling face deepened.

Faced with such teasing, Kagura Hikaru could only show his helplessness.

They already had a relationship more intimate than that of typical lovers, and besides, Suse was his "Savior."

Faced with the long-sought savior, could he still resist?

As for Kagura Hikaru's 'willing to work hard without complaint' attitude, Ayakoji Chiyoko and Kiryu Hina, silently observing from the other side of the classroom, felt their moods sink further.

The changing relationship between Kagura Hikaru and Kohinata Suse was sothing they couldn't comprehend in many ways.

But one thing was for sure: Kagura Hikaru did not seem to be under any threat, and it was apparent that he was willingly in a relationship with that person, although the reason was unclear.

The two girls stared silently at each other from across a desk.

Now they faced two choices.

One, to bless them and then withdraw from this affair, harboring no more illusions.

Or two, to continue the struggle to wrest Kagura Hikaru back—but this ti, unlike before, they no longer had the moral high ground, and any move they made would be seen as stealing soone else's partner, and even if they succeeded, they'd be labeled as mistresses.

Was it really worth it?

Pursuing soone shouldn't cost you your dignity.

Kiryu Hina and Ayakoji Chiyoko looked at each other, both seeing deep conflict in the other's eyes.

Before, when Kagura Hikaru was single, they could compete fairly and openly, but now...

To the left was heaven, to the right was hell—how to choose?!
