บท 44: Chapter 44 The Tsukinomori that Leads to the Truth

What did Kagura Hikaru mean to Ayakoji Chiyoko?

A tool? An ally? A fellow victim of sympathy?

In the past, Ayakoji Chiyoko could have easily provided an answer, but after that person took a knife for her, the question suddenly became blurred.

Previously, when Ayakoji Chiyoko looked at Kagura Hikaru, she saw the value behind him, his identity as Kiryu Hina's ex-boyfriend.

However, recently, she had seen more of Kagura Hikaru himself.

She suddenly discovered that the other had many shining points.

First was his appearance; unexpectedly, a mere tool had outstanding looks, something she had never paid attention to before.

Then there were his academic achievements; because of the upcoming final exams, the school held a preliminary test, and Kagura Hikaru came first in the grade, knocking the perennial top ranker Kiryu Hina off her throne, much to her delight.
