COTE: A Man On A Mission || Love is War?

While saying this, Ichinose couldn’t help but look at Hikigaya-kun and the others with some resentment inside her heart.

Because if Class C had not occupied all the base locations that could be seen on the island, they wouldn’t be in a dire situation, right now.

According to rules, Ichinose can’t even rest on the ground without other classes permission, let alone taste materials from their home.

Otherwise, Class B could have saved the recent points.

Even though, we are best friends, but if you give everything, it would be too cheap.

And, the friendly class does not mean that Hikigaya-kun will give a bunch of points to Class B for free, so that’s why he pretended not to see Ichinose’s sour face, just looked away, and changed the subject, “Can I try that hammock?”

Hachiman has only little camping experience, just from his nature classes...0 ideas about playing with Ichinose’s hammock.

’Now that, I see the students of Class B redeeming a bunch of hammocks, I suddenly feel that even if my class clearly has a bunch of supplies.

But it is a pity, that I did not redeem these things for enjoyment.’

“Eh?” Ichinose was just left stunned for a moment, then followed the direction Hikigaya-kun was pointing at, “Okay.” she nodded, it’s not much of a problem for her.

“Thanks.” Hachiman was also grateful for this, he walked straight over and sat on it.

“Well, that’s very rude of you, Hikigaya-kun. Not polite at all!” Ichinose’s cheeks puffed up, as if she was a little surprised, but not angry, definitely not.

Maybe a little bit.

If Hikigaya-kun is too active, she won’t be polite either, Ichinose made the payment for it after all.

She also calmly sat down on the damn thing, sitting side by side with Hikigaya-kun of Class C.

Because space was limited, they were very close together.

Ichinose has a faint scent.

’Personal items that students are allowed to bring do not include perfume, so this is most likely Ichinose’s own scent....’

This made people feel a little confused.

Of course, Hachiman knew very well that Ichinose sat down generously to show that she had no other thoughts about him.

This is very reassuring.

It’s just that....two of them seemed very intimate but extremely innocent, but it made everyone else’s mouth go dry.

Although, Kushida still maintained a cute smile, she always felt that Ichinose-san and Hikigaya-kun had a very good relationship.

Maybe the personal trainer was also very good without her knowing.

Something did happen between the 2.

And, how could she didn’t know this?

“This is really...” Suzune, on the other hand, opened her mouth slightly, a little surprised and didn’t know what to say.

Of course, with her current emotional intelligence, it’s probably not the close relationship between Hachiman and Ichinose-san.

But rather, someone just politely said you could sit on their hammock, but did you really get up there?

It’s just like randomly inviting you to dinner when you have time, but a person really barges on the door at night, and wants chocolate wings?

“Say, Ichinose.”

After feeling the hammock’s new life for a while, Hachiman turned his head away, looked at the pretty face close at hand, and said very seriously, “Let’s play together!”

’Play with me?’ Ichinose blinked her eyebrows, and thought at least 3 more times, before she was finally able to grasp what Hikigaya-kun just said.

The two classes have long signed a friendly agreement.

So, the term of playing together is not much surprising.

Rather, after Ichinose and her class occupied the stronghold in the vegetable field, they also considered whether to visit Class C, which occupied most of the Deserted island.

Ichinose hopes to use the vegetables she deliberately pocketed to exchange with Hikigaya-kun’s class for other edible items to swallow.

It’s just that the stronghold of the vegetable field was initially occupied by Class C.....Um, Ichinose realised it quite a shameless behaviour.

Do you want to exchange supplies with the original?

So, neither Ichinose nor Kanzaki had made up their minds, of how to go about giving up her empty plates.

And now, did Hikigaya-kun bring up this painful topic?

That is to say, Ichinose actually thought of a new plan.

Give Class C a portion of the monthly points reward, and use their class’s 300 S points to be saved as much as possible.

In this exam, they could not get enough bonus points, so could only rely on the 300 provided by the school.

’But, now, is Hikigaya-kun here to help again in the time of absolute need?’

Negotiate business with her?’

“How to join hands?” Ichinose thought about it for a moment, said with a little peace of interest.

’Because, Hikigaya-kun is here to cooperate with us. I can save about 20-40 points.’

Only, she heard Hikigaya-kun’s powerful voice, “It is no exaggeration to say that strongholds on this island are basically in the hands of my Class C now... ”

“Because, I used the camera to record the appearance of the island when I went to the deck, and checked according to the school’s order before landing.....”

“That’s the reason, we could find the base locations very quickly!”

“What the-” After listening to this boy named, Hikigaya-kun’s words just Ichinose was forced to be in a daze.

Because, she had just discovered there might be an exam... ’I had no preparation, was still feeling confused even when I got called to the deck to watch the “meaningful scenery” and lost the opportunity.’

Kanzaki on the other side also understood why Hachiman and the others were able to occupy so many strongholds.

Lovers are well prepared. ’From this point of view, our class is indeed very inferior to them.’

Kanzaki felt the pressure instantly.

Same Hachiman, who was looked down upon by these 2, during the 1st month of the school, now broke Ichinose’s headlights.

Leaving Class B....yeah.

“My class’s 300 initial points have all but spent. So, in this exam, the majority of the score can only get through bonus points.”

“However, I also want to take part in guessing the team leader!”

Oh.....well meh, Ichinose doesn’t care about such thing.

Because they discovered that Hikigaya-kun was not talking about vending extra supplies to them, but about guessing the team leader, Ichinose and the others seemed to be less interested.

“It’s just that although, I have a game to nominate leaders, I didn’t assign anyone to check on the other classes.....”

“Moreover.” Ichinose felt like, if she gave some kind of helpful news, her chance of getting what she really wants from Hikigaya-kun is quite high, “As for Class D, when our class went to the beach for a roll call yesterday, we found they had abstained....”

“Some people have returned to the cruise, others were still waiting, but they also gave up in the end.....”

“Although I was a little embarrassed, when I found out they abstained, I checked if there were any supplies left, but they discarded them all away,” Ichinose’s face got slightly flushed, it seemed like a very frugal or private thing, to make others know.

“We also know this.”

“• ! • ” Ichinose felt like, she was being tricked for a moment.

Hachiman touched his chin, while thinking about the past day, “Komiya and Ishizaki Daichi from Ryuen’s class came over and mocked Ibuki, who was taken in by us. Then I arranged for Sudo to follow, and found they really gave up....”

“It seems that Ryuen-kun’s not a big threat to our class,” Ichinose put her hands on those plump thighs, and looked very defeated, “I can somewhat understand their mood...”

The girl really did.

Because, score for this Deserted island test is divided into 3 parts, guessing other team leaders, bonus, and 300 S points.

Upon landing on the island, she found that most of the strongholds were occupied by Class C.

’So, there is no base to camp. I can only walk around carrying the heavy supplies, under the scorching light of the yellow sun.’

Very deadly.

As for Ichinose and the others, they squatted for 8 hours at a nearby place, and then occupied vegetable land belonging to Hikigaya-kun’s class.

But, Ryuen-kun just seemed to have stayed on the beach, unable to find a good camping spot.

In other words, if all the strongholds are gone, there will be nothing left to use from the bonus area.

Then as long as you stay on the island, points will be consumed, to buy daily materials to survive.

It’s hard to say how many initial points will be left on the 7th.

Therefore, rather than living a hard life on an Island and not getting any points, it is much better to just give up and go back to the ship, and enjoy your holidays.

What Ryuen-kun and the others did is actually very understandable to Ichinose.

’Oh, it turns out that’s what you think.’

Hachiman remained well-behaved, he could just imagine Ichinose’s train of thought, by a single glance.
