After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back-Chapter 233 - 232: First is Kiryu Hina, who committed the sin of pride.

Just a minor change in mindset could make the world seen by a person completely different.

When Kagura Hikaru was young, he read this line in a book.

At that time, he could not truly understand the meaning behind this phrase.

Only after gaining the ability to eavesdrop on other’s inner thoughts did he literally see a different world.

A world full of hypocrisy, lies, terrifying yet real.

In this world, everyone was lying.

People’s lives are filled with all kinds of lies.

Malicious and benevolent, intentional or unintentional, even not from the heart.

Kagura Hikaru could confidently say that no one in this world saw and heard more lies than he did.

He knew all too well the power of lies; his family, his love, were all shattered by lies. Experience tales with novelbuddy

He deeply understood why ’honesty’ was praised as a virtue.

He hated lies so much, hated deception.

But ironically, in the end, even he was surrounded by lies.

No, more than that, he even had to actively deceive others, to deceive an innocent girl.

While deceiving others, people must also deceive themselves.

When Kagura Hikaru was dating Ayakoji Chiyoko, he also had to deceive himself, convincing himself he liked her, so that he could act and speak like a lover would.

Kagura Hikaru actually found it unbearable from the first day to spew lies the moment he stepped out of his house every day.

There are few things more unpleasant in this world.

Actually, even Kagura Hikaru himself was unclear, whether now he was pursuing Ayakoji Chiyoko in order to get revenge on Kiryu Hina or to fulfill a deal.

But at least two things were certain.

First, he had no intention of reconciling with Kiryu Hina.

The second thing, he was now in too deep.

When it came to the issue of dealing with Ayakoji Chiyoko, his heart was a mess of entanglements.

The moment he found Ryoma Ayakoji’s hair in the Ayakoji family house, he even thought to himself — he could still turn back, pretend to not have seen and put the hair back, tell Kiryu Hina the deal was off, and then earnestly continue dating Ayakoji Chiyoko.

This self-degrading thought took Kagura Hikaru longer than usual to kill, and only now was he able to hand over that DNA sample to Kiryu Hina.

Maybe it didn’t show on the outside.

But he was tired.

Tired of the endless lies, and of the fact that he had incurred another debt to himself.

Would Ayakoji Chiyoko become the second Kiryu Hina for him?

Ayakoji Chiyoko, who succeeded Kiryu Hina as the Student Council President, will she even inherit the hatred for him?

It’s not funny at all.

In such a situation, Kagura Hikaru had no desire, nor did he want to, play any sort of love comedy chase game with Kiryu Hina.

He knew she wanted to win him back, but that was impossible.

They were already finished.

"This thing, whether you want it or not, we’re done here," Kagura Hikaru said indifferently.

All the people one meets in life are merely passersby; eventually, they will part ways.

Some relationships are brief, others last until death.

The relationship with Kiryu Hina was just like a floating leaf, already blown far enough by the wind.

Now, it’s time to land.

Kagura Hikaru gripped the sealed bag tightly in his hand, then loosened his grip, flinging it to the ground and turning away without a backward glance.

Kiryu Hina stood there stunned.

Before it could be stepped on by pedestrians, she hurriedly picked up the sealed bag, carefully dusted it off, then watched as Kagura Hikaru walked further and further away.

Confidence and composure disappeared from her face, replaced by confusion and fear.

This reminded her of the day she found out the truth, the feelings she had while standing behind the tree seeing Kagura Hikaru kissing Ayakoji Chiyoko.

The feeling of her heart being brutally torn apart.

She had made the same mistake again.

```

After that day, once again.

Among the seven deadly sins, she committed the sin of pride.

She arrogantly believed that her little schemes would work, arrogantly thought that Kagura Hikaru would obey her as he used to.

Arrogantly believed that she still understood Kagura Hikaru...

He was no longer the person that Kiryu Hina knew.

Could this be called growth?

But growth is actually a word with malicious undertones.

So-called growth means having to go through pain.

It means going through things that are beyond one’s control, giving up after efforts, experiencing something that wakes one up in the middle of the night, uncomfortably pounding the mattress with one’s fist, taking deep breaths with force.

Without these, there can be no talk of growth.

That Kagura Hikaru had become what he was now also meant that she had truly disappointed him, hadn’t she?

Even though it was summer, Kiryu Hina felt that her hands were terrifyingly cold.

The premonition of losing something important weighed heavily on her heart.

But humans are creatures with thick skins.

Faced with fear, beasts choose to run away with all their might. But for humans, that same emotion can also be a driving force.

So, Kiryu Hina made herself move, step by step, running towards Kagura Hikaru.

"Wait, wait—"

She reached out, chasing and crying out.

Her voice was unexpectedly quiet.

Kiryu Hina opened her mouth slightly, suddenly realizing that she couldn’t make a sound, as if an invisible ghost had blocked her throat.

It didn’t matter if she couldn’t make a sound.

She had to catch up to him.

"Wait for me, Mister Hikaru, Mister Hikaru—!"

Kiryu Hina, with a plastic bag in hand, rasped out words that nobody could hear, stumbling towards Kagura Hikaru.

Her coordination was still as bad as ever, bumping into countless people along the way, apologizing time and again.

Finally, she was close enough to reach out and touch Kagura Hikaru’s back.

Kiryu Hina reached out her hand again.

Suddenly, her foot tripped, her toe hitting a slightly raised floor tile.

Her fingertips brushed past the hem of Kagura Hikaru’s clothing.

Kiryu Hina fell to the ground, her knees and elbows burning with pain.

The passing pedestrians hurried on, only concerned with their own affairs, giving the girl who had carelessly fallen only a quick, indifferent glance before briskly walking past.

Tokyo is a cold place, something she had known for a long time.

Kiryu Hina raised her head to see Kagura Hikaru, who, like the other pedestrians, ignored her and continued walking forward. Not sure what hurt more, tears uncontrollably streamed down her face.

Although Tokyo was cold, she had never been disappointed with it.

Because she knew that people like Kagura Hikaru, gentle fools, existed here.

But look at what she had done now...

A strong intuition emerged in Kiryu Hina’s mind.

If at this moment Kagura Hikaru walked away without turning his head back, then they would have nothing to do with each other ever again.

For some reason, Kiryu Hina irrationally trusted this thought.

Without a word, she silently bowed her head and wept, curling up.

At that moment, a cool voice came from above.

"Can you get up by yourself?"

Kiryu Hina looked up blankly.

Through her teary eyes, she could make out the blurry face of Kagura Hikaru.

He had turned back.
