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

“Yeah, because one time when I went to the third floor, I, I saw Karuizawa-san helping Hikigaya-kun line up to buy food....” Sakura is always watching, you can’t escape her eyes.

“???” Sato-san....“Eh...?”

Indeed, Hachiman took her out and confronted Kamuro-san. But was incident that you witnessed?

Hachiman glanced at Sato-san from the corner of his eye who felt betrayed, “At that time, I was confronting Sakayanagi, so I couldn’t lose momentum, so I asked Karuizawa-san for help.”

Oh Oh! Sato-san nodded.

She is from Karuizawa’s gang.

’But I didn’t know that Karuizawa-san and Hikigaya-kun had such a deal before? But Sakayanagi-san was representative of original A class, and Hikigaya-kun also tried to be in A class before, so it’s normal for both to compete with each other.

’So, I knew from a long time ago that Hikigaya-kun and Sakayanagi-san were having dinner together, but it turns out that two of them have been fighting since such an early time!’ Sato feels that class competition is really hard.

“Well, then I think Kushida-san will also give Hikigaya-kun a vote of appreciation!” Sakura opened her mouth again, can it be said she was worthy of being called Divine Airi?

“.....” Suzune. Hearing this name, she was silent for a moment.

“....” Hachiman. “Why does Sakura think that Kushida would give me a vote of appreciation? Doesn’t she have a good relationship with all boys in the class?”

Kushida is everyone’s angel. She treats everyone equally.

It’s almost impossible to imagine who she would target. People can’t imagine who she would praise alone.

Person who would give it must be someone like her best friend, Mii-chan!

If she were to write a boy’s name, she would probably only do someone like Hirata.

Because people like Hirata are very popular, so she wouldn’t consider Hikigaya-kun to give a vote.

So, Kushida’s vote is for the popular candidate. Is it our boy’s turn?

Hachiman is sure that Sakura doesn’t know about the relationship between Kushida and him.

“I feel a little different,” Sakura’s eyes are very scary to be honest, “Kushida-san is a very good person. But I think if she had to vote for the boys, she would probably choose Hikigaya-kun. I think she has a crush, because she often turns to look at you!”

“....” Hachiman.

Sakura sat in back row and Kushida was in the front row, so movements in front were easy to capture.

It wasn’t just once Sakura noticed that Kushida would sometimes turn around and look at him.

Hachiman suddenly felt that looks from his companions around him were somewhat different. It seemed like people were looking at a scumbag.

Then, girls looked at Suzune with some sympathy.

Conscience of heaven and earth.

But, Hachiman never dated Suzune!

So, he quickly ended the topic by saying, “It would be really lucky if Kushida voted for me!”

It looks like there’s nothing wrong.

“Class, class, that’s probably all I can think of,” But Sakura just said that Hikigaya would get a lot of praise votes from girls in class, and ended up listing three names.

Instead, she added, “But, but I think Hikigaya-kun can still get, get other tickets!”

Everyone has a ticket for another class, so is Hikigaya-kun going to get a ticket from another class?

Sakura continued, “The fifth rule says that in addition to 3 praise and criticism votes for students in the class, each person will have an extra praise vote, and it must be filled in with the name of someone from another class. This means that in turn, people from other classes can vote for us with praise votes...”

“I think there will definitely be students from other classes who will give Hikigaya-kun a ticket!”

Sakura was too excited, she wasn’t even stuttering anymore.

“For example, Ichinose-san from Class A, I think she will also give a ticket to Hikigaya-kun!”

”Why, why...” Yukimura said immediately.

Because Ichinose is everyone’s archangel.

Although Ichinose is caught up in rumors from previous time, news also comes in about her past.

However, even knowing this, no one hated her.

Rather, feels like Ichinose-san is also a human being, but she seems more alive.

Yukimura is still Ichinose’s lapdog.

“Um, that last night...” Sakura seemed to be choosing her words. Although it’s not finished.

But. Wow. Hikigaya-kun is really exposed by Sakura’s eyes!

Because last night Ichinose came to his dormitory to clean.

Although she came here hiding from others, was poked on by Sakura?

’You should never underestimate, Sakura-san!’ Hachiman felt like he learnt a very hard lesson today.

“I think it’s normal for Ichinose-san to vote for Hikigaya-kun,” However, at this time, Suzune opened her mouth breaking her silence, “Because when the classes were competing before, our two formed an alliance. Although Ichinose-san is in Class A now, Class B is very close to her, so she definitely needs our help. At least, hoping we don’t attack her. So she’ll show her kindness.....”

Um....Hachiman was just thinking about how to explain, but after Suzune said that, everyone calmed down.

Girls think it is a strategy for class confrontation.

Archangel Ichinose is still pure. She is not in love, and she doesn’t even have feelings for anyone.

Yukimura-kun also felt relieved.

“So does Sakura have anyone else?” Yukimura felt that he had to quickly get out from topic of Ichinose.

“Others...”

”Um, when we were in the library—” Sakura tried her best to remember, and list every girl’s name, whom she was suspicious about.

Um....Hachiman confirmed this once again, Sakura is really quite awesome.

Almost destroyed his entire social network.

The person in the library should be Shiina-san. If you want to find Hiyori, you have to go to the library.

So it’s not surprising to be met.

“I saw Ryuen-kun from Class D—” But Sakura told something very outrageous, “When he went to borrow a book, and then he stared at Hikigaya-kun from a distance.....”

????

Yukimura made even more of a dark face, when compared to Ichinose earlier.

“pfff-hahhhaaa!!” Sato-san couldn’t hold it anymore.

This is not necessary.

Hikigaya-kun is not interested in getting Ryuen’s ticket, and Sakura might be wrong about this, someone must drop out of exam, and of course, they might also offer 20 million yen for protection.

But he doesn’t think Class D will choose to spend 20 million.

Why spend more when 2 million can solve the problem?

There is actually a person in Ryuen’s class who wants to drop out.

So, Ryuen will probably sell the votes for appreciation for other classes to those who need it.

There is no spare energy to give tickets to others.

’So even though Sakura-san’s sixth sense is very strong, it’s not completely accurate,’ Hachiman thought to himself.

But Sakura didn’t stop, “Actually, it’s not Ryuen-kun...there was a silve---”

She was about to say that she saw Hikigaya-kun talking to a silver-haired girl in the library many times.

But Haruka, who loves gossip and is good at reading the atmosphere, suddenly interrupted, “I think we should not continue discussing this topic now.”

Hachiman looked at her.

“Oye, Hikigaya-kun, Sakayanagi-san seems to be looking here!” Haruka told the reason without hesitation.

A cute girl with short silver hair walked towards here.

“Hikigaya-kun declined my invitation and is hanging out with friends,” Sakayanagi seemed quite polite, but her eyes were not, “What interesting topic are you talking about? Can I join in?”

Hachiman glanced at his phone.

Indeed, he received an invitation from Sakayanagi, which came with a 100,000 point transfer.

Although he didn’t go, but other party came over.

Hikigaya-kun was called away.

The students in Yukimura’s cram school group who stayed behind looked at each other in bewilderment.

“Sakayanagi-san from Class B has quite a yandere aura,” Haruka passed a comment like that.

”...” Sato-san.

She actually thought that Sakayanagi looked cute and sweet, but she seemed to glance at her as if she was looking at some garbage when she left.

Are girls in Class B so arrogant?

Although she is the hottie, Sato-san feels like being treated as an inferior being.

“I see her being surrounded by other students when she goes to school,” Haruka was paying attention too.

“But that means she is very important to class!” Yukimura pushed up his glasses and said.

“.....” Suzune didn’t say anything.

Because she knew that Arisu Sakayanagi was recognized by Hikigaya-kun, and during the preferential treatment exam, she came to ship on purpose and left with 20 million yen.

A terrible enemy.

~Stare~ Stare~ Stare~

“• ? •” Suzune.

The people around looked at her curiously.

“What? Is there something on my face?” Although Suzune is not good at analyzing the atmosphere, she can catch other people’s gazes.

“Horikita-san......” Sakura didn’t want to break her heart.

But, Haruka was pretty casual, and wanted to see her reaction, “Hikitaya-kun was taken away like this, don’t you feel... there’s something wrong in your heart?”

???

But this made Suzune unable to understand.

“We didn’t make plans to have dinner together tonight,” Suzune felt like there was nothing to worry about, pretty calm in life, “So now is his free time. It’s normal for Hikigaya-kun to go wherever he wants or with whomever he wants.....”

Oh. I see.

So you guys often eat together, and isn’t Horikita-san really very generous?

This is what ordinary people think.

But Haruka did find it a bit weird. ’Because if I understood correctly, then Hikigaya-kun is actually cheating on her with Sakayanagi-san, but you, Horikita-san, don’t care at all? How generous!’

’Or, Horikita-san, you have no idea that Hikigaya-kun is cheating on you, and you trust him and Sakayanagi-san very much....You will suffer a great loss this way.’ Haruka said quite badly in her heart.

”Well, that——”

The only person who knows Sakayanagi well at the scene decided to try to clear her name, “I, I think Sakayanagi-san, she, she is not a bad person. Although, although she is sometimes harsh, but... she is actually a good person.”

”Oh?” Haruka looked over. ’Airi rarely expresses her feelings directly....’ “Why do you say that?”

“Well... Actually, during sports a while ago, Kamuro-san helped me train....Then, we just had a written exam, and Sakayanagi-san also tutored me. So I can be safe.” Sakura is Haruka’s friend, but not a member of Yukimura’s cram school group.

So, he was not responsible for her studies.

But now it seems that Sakura actually received the favor of Arisu.

“I see...” Haruka decided not to talk about this topic anymore, because Airi was her friend, and since Sakayanagi-san helped, it would be too much to continue to dig at her.

“Yeah, but I think, I think Matsushita-san will definitely give a criticism vote to H-Hikigaya-kun!”

“• •” Don’t you know too much?
