My Dating Development Has Major Problems

Chapter 55 A broken mirror is hard to mend, but what if it's given away for free?

"Hello, Akino-senpai." In response to Akino Sakura's friendliness, Sanshokuin Sumireko readily replied.

Hinata Aoi puffed out her cheeks and questioned Akino Sakura in an annoyed tone:

"Senior Akizakura, is the student council really that idle? Do they need you, as the president, to spend all day inspecting the library?"

Akino Sakura smiled calmly, ignoring her junior's hostility. She sat down opposite the three of them and opened her pink notebook.

"Since everyone in the student council has something to do, as the president, I naturally have to lead by example and fulfill my responsibilities."

"Oh, so what brings you here today?" Hinata Aoi asked curiously.

Akino Sakura, however, turned her gaze to Kisaragi Amuro's face and said gently:

"Here's the thing, after our student council members' meeting, we found that there is no suitable candidate for the position of secretary at the moment, so everyone asked me to act as a go-between."

As she spoke, disregarding the presence of Hinata Aoi and Sanshokuin Sumireko, she extended her snow-white, soft hand and gently grasped Kisaragi Amuro's hand.

"Showerhead, how about coming back to the student council? Without you, everyone's really lacking in motivation, and... I really hope you can come back."

Hinata Aoi's cheeks puffed up as she watched Akino Sakura's actions.

Not to be outdone, she grabbed Asuka Yuru's arm and said warily to President Akizakura:

"No way, Showerhead is too busy. See this computer? Senior Akizakura, let me tell you, Showerhead is writing a light novel lately. He simply doesn't have time to do any hard labor in the student council."

Upon hearing this, Akino Sakura couldn't help but glare at Hinata Aoi with her beautiful eyes.

The two girls' gazes collided in the air, as if sparks were flying, and an atmosphere of fierce confrontation began to spread.

Faced with Sakura Akino's glare, Aoi Hinata glared back defiantly.

Akino Sakura withdrew her gaze and kept staring into Kisaragi Urouge's eyes.

"Showerhead, you're actually writing light novels? That's amazing! But I wonder if you'll be treated like a drudge when you go back to school. As a reliable junior, all you need to do is keep me company, it'll be easy!"

The girl's pink eyes sparkled with a gentle light, her gaze filled with anticipation.

If it were the old Kisaragi Amuro, it would probably have already fallen for her.

How could he refuse when the beautiful senior student held his hand intimately and begged him?

However, the current Kisaragi Rain Dew doesn't seem to be very interested.

It's just a handshake and feigning helplessness; it's not even as good as the sunflower's affectionate gestures.

Kisaragi Yuu withdrew her hand and calmly said, "I'm sorry, Akizakura-senpai, just as Kuihua said, I'm very busy and probably won't have time to participate in student council activities."

"Besides, I made a promise to Sumireko that I would come to the library to keep her company every day. How can I, as a man, break my promise?"

After saying that, Hinata Aoi looked at Akino Sakura with a smug expression.

She has already considered Akino Sakura as her rival, so as long as Akino Sakura fails, she will consider herself successful.

Sakura Akino looked at Yuru Kisaragi with some disappointment. "Showerhead, everyone wants you back. The student council really can't function without you!"

Kisaragi Yuru shook her head. "I don't think I'm that important, Akizakura-senpai. I'm not going back. Let's talk about something else."

"Perfect timing, since you and Sunflower came together today, I have something to give you."

After saying that, he took out a voice recorder he had bought with correction points from his pocket.

This recording only cost 1 point of correction value from Kisaragi Rain Dew, and it's waterproof. He didn't want to expose the button camera, so he specially bought another voice recorder.

When Taiyo Oga began his relationship counseling session, the voice recorder started recording the entire conversation.

Hinata Aoi and Akino Sakura were both taken aback when they saw the items he took out.

"A showerhead, what's this?"

Hinata Aoi clung to his arm, her eyes filled with confusion.

"It's a voice recorder, isn't it?" Sumireko Sanshokuin said, a slight smile playing on her lips.

Clearly, she is very satisfied with Ruyue Yulu's current actions.

"Yes, Sumireko is right, it is a voice recorder."

Ruyue Yulu nodded, then sighed and continued:

"During free time in PE class today, Xiao Sang approached me and said he liked Jin Zi and wanted me to help him. I refused him. This recording pen recorded the entire conversation between me and Xiao Sang."

"Senior Akizakura, Sunflower, should we listen to you or not?"

Upon hearing this, both Akino Sakura and Hinata Aoi trembled slightly.

"I...I want to hear!" Sunflower spoke first, staring at Akino Sakura with a determined look.

Akino Sakura gave a wry smile, but her eyes quickly hardened. "I also want to hear what Oga-kun thinks of us in private. Let's listen together."

After she finished speaking, she pressed the button on the recorder.

[Showerhead, actually, there's someone I care about a lot. Well, to put it another way, I like her!]

Just thinking about that person makes my heart ache, but as long as I can see her from afar every day, I feel happy.

[Showerhead, I only told you this because I consider you a friend. Lately, I've found myself increasingly unable to control my longing for her.]

I like our school librarian, the girl named Sumireko Sanshokuin!

【Please don't misunderstand, Showerhead. I genuinely have absolutely no feelings for Sunflower or Akizakura-senpai; I just consider them ordinary friends!】

"..."

As Taiyo Oga's voice rang out, Aoi Hyuga and Sakura Akino felt utterly hopeless.

It turns out, it wasn't their imagination.

Daigo-kun had truly seen through their feelings, but had no intention of accepting them.

Not only that, he pretended not to know and even went so far as to ask them to help him get together with Sumireko Sanshokuin.

This is incredibly selfish; it's downright inhuman!

After listening to the recording, Akino Sakura and Hinata Aoi both felt intense resentment towards Oga Taiyou.

With their heads down, the two girls unconsciously clenched their fists.

His face showed embarrassment, awkwardness, and endless shame.

They tried so hard to show themselves, but in the end they couldn't get what they wanted.

Seeing the two women remain silent, Ruyue Yulu suddenly spoke up.

"Sunflower, Senior Akizakura, this recording is my revenge on you."

"This is also a reminder to you all: don't hide your feelings and help the person you like be with someone else in the future."

Why be so humble for someone who doesn't care about you?

"Most importantly, Sumire is someone I value very much. Please don't try to set her up with other men, otherwise, I think I'll be very lonely."

Words like "moonlight and dew" are no different from a confession.

Upon hearing these words, Sakura Akino and Aoi Hinata felt a pang of bitterness and were filled with deep regret.

It was the two of them who tore that gentle showerhead apart, turning him into the sensitive person he is now, and it was they who pushed him toward Sumireko Sanshokuin.

Sanshokuin Sumireko shyly covered her cheeks and secretly rolled her eyes at Kisaragi Amuro.

She knew, of course, that Kisaragi Amuro had said that on purpose, in order to portray herself as a heartbroken victim hurt by Aoi and Akizakura, while she, Sanshokuin Sumireko, was the one who would save his broken heart.

Well, this feels pretty good too.

Then look at Sunflower and Cherry Blossom, their eyes are wet, they look like they're about to cry. This trick really works!

Taking a deep breath, Akino Sakura forced a smile.

"Showerhead, I...I understand. Don't worry, I won't continue to be Daiga-kun's helper and bother the Sanshokuin juniors anymore."

"Shower head, shower head, me too! I haven't had those thoughts for a long time, can you believe me?" Hinata Aoi pitifully shook his arm.

Her big, watery eyes, combined with her petite body, and her adorable face made her look like a little puppy who had done something wrong.

Ruyue Yulu glanced at the sunflower and nodded reluctantly.

"We'll see how you do. A broken mirror is still cracked no matter how much glue you use to fix it. Right now, all I want to do is focus on writing my light novel and fulfill my promise to Sumireko."

"As for what happens between you and Xiao Sang, I don't care at all!"

Upon hearing this, Akino Sakura and Hinata Aoi lowered their heads in dejection.

But the two of them soon realized something was wrong.

If the showerhead really didn't care, why would it specifically take out this recording pen to tell the two of them about Dahe Taiyang's selfish true nature?

Furthermore, the conversation recorded by the voice recorder also shows that the showerhead cares about the two of them.

So, in the end, Sakura Akino and Aoi Hinata both understood one thing.

The showerhead is all talk and no action!

He clearly cares about them a lot!

Hinata Aoi hugged the showerhead's arm, rubbed her cheek against it vigorously, and chuckled.

"Showerhead, I'll behave well and make you completely forgive me!"

A broken mirror is hard to mend, but what about the affectionate advances of childhood sweethearts?
