After breaking up, my ex asked me to win her back-Chapter 241 - 240: Go Ask Your Lower Half!!!

Before today, Kiryu Hina faced two important decisions.

Publicly acknowledge her biological father and their relationship, or keep it secret and continue her current life.

If she chose the latter, she was confident she wouldn’t be exposed for a lifetime.

However, choosing the former meant facing a future full of unknowns.

Would she receive recognition from Ryoma Ayakoji? What would the other members of the Ayakoji family think, or would it instead attract hostility?

In reality, Kiryu Hina was rather indifferent to these issues.

She wasn’t after anything from the Ayakoji family; more than anything, she wanted Ryoma Ayakoji to realize that he had a daughter other than Chiyoko.

Kiryu Hina wanted to know what Ryoma Ayakoji, once he learned the truth, would say to her.

Based on his reaction, she would decide how to approach the Ayakoji family.

What concerned Kiryu Hina more was her father and adoptive father, Kiryu Masaki—how would he feel about her taking action on her own?

If things went poorly, she risked not only failing to reconnect with her biological father but also losing her current family.

But last night, something Hikaru Kagura said had awakened her.

Her worries were laughable.

She wouldn’t lose anything, really.

Because her father loved her as his own daughter, he was surely prepared for her to find out the truth; Kiryu Hina felt she could trust her father’s rationality not to cast her out of the house.

Whether their relationship would worsen would depend on her subsequent actions.

This could harm her father, Kiryu Hina knew this.

His deliberate concealment of the truth had already shown his stance.

But because they were family, such actions were permissible.

The kind of person who embraces both right and wrong would always stand by her side to face everything together—that is family.

Regardless of whether there was a blood relation, Kiryu Masaki was her father, her family.

Her father would forgive her mistakes.

Similarly, she would forgive her father’s mistakes.

Tonight, she would be honest with her father and together they would decide what to do next.

But before that, she needed to talk to Ayakoji Chiyoko first.

The issues between them were no less complex than their parents’ grudges.

"What is this?"

Ayakoji Chiyoko eyed the papers Kiryu Hina handed over and asked.

Kiryu Hina looked straight at her, "This is a paternity test report, also known as a blood relation test."

"Whose blood relation with whom?"

"...You’ll see once you look at it."

For no reason, Ayakoji Chiyoko suddenly felt nervous.

She snatched the report and started flipping through it.

The label of the testing agency at the top was one she recognized—one of Tokyo’s big hospitals, which she passed every day after school.

’Medical reports’ always carried a cold air.

Because they are the products of science, utterly rational, and emanating from hospitals, they often evoke associations with disease, causing unease.

Perhaps it was inherent to the report, but Ayakoji Chiyoko could smell the scent of disinfectant as she read seriously.

It was full of data and terms she didn’t understand, as incomprehensible as philosophy.

But she recognized the names at least.

On the last page of the report were the names ’Ayakoji Chiyoko’ and ’Kiryu Hina.’

Behind them was written a match percentage of 50%.

Match percentage? What match percentage.

She looked directly at the final conclusion.

["Ayakoji Chiyoko" and "Kiryu Hina" are related by blood: Yes.]

Ayakoji Chiyoko stared blankly at the last line, then slowly raised her head to look at Kiryu Hina, "Are you saying we’re relatives? What are you playing at, trying to fool me with this fake report?"

"It’s not just relatives... I hope you can calm down and listen to me." Kiryu Hina took out a photo of Ryoma Ayakoji and her parents, which she had brought from her home, and handed it to Ayakoji Chiyoko: "The three people in this photo, you must recognize one of them."

Ayakoji Chiyoko glanced briefly at it and immediately recognized the man standing in the middle.

That foolish look was undoubtedly her father’s.

"The other two are my parents," Kiryu Hina said. "Have you ever heard your father mention that he and my parents were college classmates and close friends?"

"No, but what does that matter? Those are his personal relationships; there’s absolutely no need to tell me about them."

"What if he couldn’t tell you?"

"... What are you trying to say?"

Kiryu Hina sighed, raised her finger slightly towards the report in Ayakoji Chiyoko’s hand, "You’ve seen the test result. Do you think if your father was just ordinary friends with our family, we would have a blood relation?"

"..."

"I’ll just say it then, my mother had a romantic relationship with Ryoma Ayakoji." Continue reading stories on novelbuddy

Ayakoji Chiyoko clenched the photo and report in her hand tightly.

She had noticed the discrepancies earlier but had not spoken up.

The woman in the photo was clearly very intimate with her father, yet Kiryu Hina claimed it was her mother, which seemed suspicious no matter how you looked at it.

A simple yet infuriating conclusion slowly emerged in Ayakoji Chiyoko’s mind, causing her heartbeat to quicken and her chest to slightly heave.

"Are you implying that my father had an affair with your mother?"

"It could be explained that way, but I lean more towards Ryoma Ayakoji abandoning her, then she decided to marry my father, Kiryu Masaki. The proof is, my mother was pregnant before the wedding; she married after being three months pregnant and gave birth to me seven months after the wedding."

Kiryu Hina stared straight at Ayakoji Chiyoko, "Do you understand, Ayakoji, your father got my mother pregnant, then left her and chose to marry your mother—do you get what I mean?"

"..."

How could she not understand?

At this point, Ayakoji Chiyoko wasn’t a fool; of course, she understood.

As far as she knew, the Kiryu family didn’t have a second child; Kiryu Hina was an only child, just like her, with no other siblings.

The only one born from her mother’s womb was Kiryu Hina.

If this report was true, if this photo was real, if what she said was true...

That meant, in the simplest terms— the two of them were actually connected by the same bloodline, half-sisters sharing the same father.

...Her? And Kiryu Hina?

The very idea that it was them, two people who could not stand each other, was absurd.

The absurdity of the situation couldn’t help but make Ayakoji Chiyoko laugh out loud.

"You actually secretly gathered so much evidence; when did you start suspecting?"

"Probably during the second semester last year."

"That’s rather early," Ayakoji Chiyoko said as she picked up the report, looking at her with a grave expression: "You should know that I can verify this matter right away, it’s just a phone call away."

"I can assure you this is true," Kiryu Hina nodded, "If you don’t believe me, you can wait another two days. The DNA comparison between me and Ryoma Ayakoji is already underway. By then, whether he and I are biologically related will also be confirmed."

"You actually managed to get his DNA sample, impressive," Ayakoji Chiyoko said, almost laughing out of rage.

But this rage wasn’t entirely directed at Kiryu Hina.

"Wait here."

Leaving those words behind, she got up and walked over to a nearby spot, picking up her phone to dial her father’s number.

The dial tone went on for about five or six seconds before it connected.

"Yi Yi? Chiyoko? What’s up? I’m just about to start filming; if there’s something, make it quick."

Hearing her father’s usual unserious and lazy voice, Ayakoji Chiyoko’s face was about to turn into a furious demon.

"What’s the matter?... Go ask your lower half!!"
