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

"Kagura, there's a reason why painkillers can't be purchased without a prescription,"

Ayakoji Chiyoko said seriously, holding Kagura Hikaru's bottle of painkillers, "They are addictive. Do you understand? This is no joke. I don't want you to end up in rehab after your illness gets better."

"I've been very careful with them," Kagura Hikaru said quietly, shrinking his neck guiltily.

In fact, he used four to five pills a day, which was twice the amount the doctor recommended. Discover exclusive tales on My Virtual Library Empire

But he certainly wouldn't admit that.

Of course, Ayakoji Chiyoko was not deceived.

The consumption of painkillers was too high; it simply didn't add up. She even suspected that Kagura Hikaru hadn't read the doctor's advice at all, which stated a maximum of two pills per day, yet he was consuming them like running water.

However, she didn't intend to puncture her man's little pride: "Anyway, you can't keep taking them haphazardly anymore. From now on, I'll manage your painkillers, and you can only have one pill a day," she said.

Ayakoji Chiyoko poured a pill from the bottle into Kagura Hikaru's palm, indicating that it was his allowance for the day.

Kagura Hikaru looked at her in astonishment. "One pill a day?"

"One pill a day."

"Alright then."

She was doing it for the sake of his health, and the reason couldn't be more justified, which Kagura Hikaru clearly couldn't dispute.

He knew consuming too many painkillers was harmful, but the recent high frequency of recalling past memories caused headaches so severe that it made him feel miserable. As a result, without realizing it, he had consumed a third of the painkillers.

No wonder it was discovered; the discrepancy was too great.

Kagura Hikaru scratched his head, pocketed the pill, and asked Ayakoji Chiyoko, who had scolded him and then bowed her head to continue with her homework, "By the way, I found a mark on my neck when I woke up this morning, and I have no idea how it got there."

Ayakoji Chiyoko looked up briefly then lowered her head again: "You probably pressed on it in your sleep."

"Is that so...?"

Kagura Hikaru rubbed his neck doubtfully.

Since morning, his neck had been very sore. It might really be as Ayakoji Chiyoko suggested, an accidental mark made during his sleep last night.

It happened occasionally; he would find red marks or bruises on his body without knowing when or how they appeared.

Kagura Hikaru leaned back, propping his hands on the floor, and looked out the window.

The window was half open, the curtains not drawn, allowing a view of the gentle sunshine outside.

A light breeze blew in, bringing a hint of coolness.

It was indeed a perfect weather.

"Hey, let's go out and play," Kagura Hikaru couldn't resist asking Ayakoji Chiyoko.

But she pursed her lips, somewhat reluctant, and said, "I haven't finished my homework yet."

Today was Saturday.

No school.

However, the teachers at Yuqiu High School did not let up because it was the weekend; they had assigned plenty of homework.

Even for someone as academically excellent as Ayakoji Chiyoko, it would take at least a morning to complete.

But after looking at Kagura Hikaru, then back at her homework, the latter seemed suddenly unappealing to her.

She tossed her pen aside: "Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow. Let's go out."

"Yay~"

Kagura Hikaru made a funny noise, jumped up to look for his phone, "Wait a minute, I'll search for some fun places nearby. What about that park? The one we often go to together."

"Sure,"

Ayakoji Chiyoko actually didn't know which park he was talking about, as that was probably a memory he shared with Kiryu Hina, not with her.

But that didn't matter. She could adapt as needed when the time came.

Ayakoji Chiyoko watched Kagura Hikaru's retreating figure and subconsciously touched the back of her head, feeling a bump that seemed to have formed from nowhere.

It was somewhat strange, she felt that she had lost a part of her memory about last night.

She couldn't remember what she had done the previous evening, only that she had greeted her aunt and then stayed over at the Kagura family's home.

She had intended to do something with Kagura Hikaru, but it seemed like the opportunity never came, and she just muddled through the night.

.....In any case, she had not made any progress, and she planned to look for another opportunity next time.

Now Kagura Hikaru had started to suspect her, and to achieve a real couple's ending, perhaps more aggressive measures were necessary.

Once they were ready, they went downstairs, greeted Kagura Hikaru's stepmother, and left the house.

Outside, the sun shone brightly, the sky was blue with white clouds, and the frequent breeze made it feel not too hot—indeed, it was perfect weather for going out and having fun.

"Let's go this way." Kagura Hikaru led the way enthusiastically toward the park.

Ayakoji Chiyoko initially wanted to link arms with him, but missed her chance.

After they had walked a distance.

Kiryu Hina, Ai Cheng Karen, and Kohinata Motoyo emerged from around the corner.

"Shall we follow them?" Kohinata Motoyo said with a squint and a smile.

It sounded like a question, but to Ai Cheng Karen and Kiryu Hina, it sounded more like a statement.

"Of course," Kiryu Hina responded.

Even Ai Cheng Karen nodded seriously.

The three girls had originally planned to come and find Kagura Hikaru, and it just so happened that they ran into him and Ayakoji Chiyoko heading out.

Seeing such a scene, they obviously couldn't just let it go.

To them, Ayakoji Chiyoko was practically no different from a criminal, and seeing her with Kagura Hikaru, they subconsciously felt she would definitely commit a crime.

"Today's weather is so good, they couldn't possibly be going on a date, could they?" Kohinata Motoyo touched her cheek and said with a sad smile, "It's quite unreasonable not to invite us. We are all his girlfriends after all~"

"Huh?" Ai Cheng Karen was taken aback.

"Stop being sarcastic, let's quickly catch up, or we'll lose them."

Kiryu Hina said irritably and pulled Ai Cheng Karen to hurry after them.

Kohinata Motoyo shrugged her shoulders and quickly followed them.

The three girls were not experienced in tracking, and they awkwardly followed far behind Kagura Hikaru and Ayakoji Chiyoko.

Luckily, Kagura Hikaru and Ayakoji Chiyoko were not paying attention to what was behind them.

The park they were headed for was not close to the Kagura home; it took them a while to reach it.

Calling it a park was actually a bit of a misnomer—it was more accurately described as a plaza, as the only landmark was a large fountain.

People came and went around them.

"It's a pity it isn't Christmas," Kagura Hikaru pointed at the fountain and said, "During Christmas, there would be a light show here, and it's really beautiful."

"I know, I've seen it," Ayakoji Chiyoko said, looking at the pool.

"This is where we had our first date," Kagura Hikaru looked at her," Do you remember? You tricked me into thinking this was a wishing well, and I foolishly threw a coin in, getting us both scolded."

Ayakoji Chiyoko tried to keep her smile natural: "Really? I don't quite remember that."

"How can you not remember? It was our first date!"

"For me, it was several years ago already; it's normal not to remember, right?"

Kagura Hikaru's smile slightly faded.

As expected, it wasn't so easy to fool him.
