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

Hachiman took intercom.

One walkie-talkie comes with several accessories, and Sakayanagi got a total of 10.

~hehe~

Most of them are in hands of the students in Class A of Grade 2 who have been released to brush their scores.

These students can be assigned to different areas of the island.

Then it is most suitable megaphone, which can be used to contact students from other classes in various areas.

Something to consider is the insufficient number of intercoms.

Those who have been assigned walkie-talkies will act together with the boys from Class B and D.

This ensures that every team searching for Yagami Takuya can get in touch with Hachiman.

Sakayanagi was still sitting in her old place.

She already knew name of the criminal that Hikigaya suspected, Takuya Yagami.

’1st Grade Class B, he is a student with excellent academics but seemingly average physical fitness. According to netizens, this junior Yagami has been pestering Kushida-san and is a booty licker. So after Hikigaya-kun announced that he was searching for this junior, many people thought it was very possible...Because everyone thinks other party is too clingy, there is a high probability he will do such bad things. However, Kouhai who was harassing Kushida-san did not trouble her, but attacked other people. It looks a bit strange. Hikigaya-kun already forced her not to leave the starting point. It seems that he is protecting Kushida-san because Yagami had harassed...Hmm?’

But Sakayanagi felt that it was more.

’So, this is it. Yagami Takuya might be a White Room student, someone from the same place as Ayanokoji-kun. Nearly every person there is unstable.Because it’s extremely dangerous, Hikigaya-kun’s body is now covered in thorns....’

“So what should I do next?” Kamuro-san asked with a disgusted expression on her face.

It seemed that Hikigaya Hachiman only assigned boys to do the work, and she was left out.

Kamuro-san was also very angry about the incident in which a classmate was injured.

’Although special exams of this school are a bit abnormal, such as expulsion through voting, the worst that can be achieved is expulsion. But, I heard that Shinohara and others fell off the hillside after being attacked. Hello, hello, hello. Would it be cooler if it was a bit higher? Taking an exam can be life-threatening! This is just too much now!’ So, Kamuro-san wanted to do something.

She also studied karate for two years, her power still looks ok.

“Let’s wait for tomorrow. Such a high-profile and spontaneous action by the students will definitely attract notice of the school. Even though there aren’t many cameras on island, but enough to monitor. So Chairman Tsukishiro will have to step in.”

’At that time, exam will either be terminated or continued. So there will be a conclusion by then. Confirm whether the criminal this time is one arranged by Tsukishiro. [There is no evidence] to prove that Yagami is the attacker. Maybe he is just a criminal that Hikigaya-kun put forward to calm everyone down. At that time, even if Yagami is not the criminal, Chairman Tsukishiro will be forced to deal with it....’

Other side.

On the ship, two injured students have been placed in ship’s ward.

“Are you talking about two students being attacked and having to withdraw from exam?” Tsukishiro is already a bit downtrodden, and full of major headaches.

“Yes!”

The medical staff nodded gently, “The two people’s vital signs are stable, but they are still unconscious. It is confirmed they were attacked. After waking up, there may be minimal sequelae of concussion....”

“Acting Chairman, I really cannot accept your proposal!” As soon as the medical staff finished speaking, Class D’s head teacher Sakagami Kazuma immediately interrupted.

“For this exam, your plan is a disaster for our students!” That’s right, Hoshinomiya Chie is here too!

“I also think risks in this exam are too great,” Chabashira Sae, homeroom teacher of Class C, also said so.

“As expected, Acting Chairman Tsukishiro, your previous inappropriate remarks may have caused quite serious consequences,” After hearing about situation of the students in Class C and D, Mr. Mashima, who was homeroom teacher of Class A, guy was on break today, also stood up.

This Mashima was the most vocal person who opposed Tsukishiro’s various exam plans, “I don’t think you’re fit to continue as school’s question setter. Please take responsibility for this matter. At the same time, release your power to set questions.”

Tsukishiro was also in trouble.

He is about to be forced to abdicate.

Small island.

Although Hachiman arranged some people to go out, they were used as bait.

So, have to wait for Chairman Tsukishiro to bite.

However, it is definitely not okay to just let White Room act as he pleases.

Hachiman is now looking for his own tool... no, it is a specially prepared hidden chess piece.

“Amasawa-san and others left together with Isshiki-san in the morning. According to her, she will come back tomorrow.”

As a member of student council, Yukino was also included in Hachiman’s arrangements just now.

Now it is the second-year seniors who are taking action, and power of first-years has not been used yet, so she can only hold it in for now.

Because, now such a dangerous student has appeared, she has no right to let the students in her class take risks with her.

When it comes to problems in this school, right to make decisions comes under the hand of Student Council.

She can only follow orders now.

At the moment, she truly realised being in a high position of Student Council is more important than she previously thought.

Decisions maker - Vice president.

Therefore, for those of them who are not familiar with school situation, it is very important to stay on standby.

So, when Yukino found out that Hikigaya-senpai was looking for Amasawa Ichika, she honestly gave him the information she knew.

’That would be a shame.’ Hachiman thought to himself.

Originally, he wanted to use Amasawa as a hidden chess piece to target WR.

As long as any child of theirs takes action, then Amasawa will be arranged to take action.

White Roomers had not taken any action for four consecutive days, so everyone let down their guard.

Hachiman also assigned Amasawa Ichika to take Isshiki school girl off.

But now, it’s overkill.

He had to contact Amasawa immediately to defend and prevent her kind from continuing to attack other students.

Then, perhaps only thing he can do is to change this chess piece from dark position to light.

Hikigaya-kun decided to hold the intercom and let students look for Amasawa first, so that after she received the message, could go and defend against Yagami.

“It’s been a tough day today.”

“But it’s great to be able to come back and take a hot bath!” A familiar voice came, “Amasawa-san, you are really amazing. You can actually take me so far.”

“Hey, I got 53 points today, I’m already ranked 100th!”

“Let’s rest hard for tomorrow!”

Just as he was thinking this, Hachiman noticed two students walking back in front of him.

One is a purple twin tail.

One has short brown hair.

Amasawa Ichika and Isshiki Iroha.

Only then did Hachiman realize that speaking of devil would bring her to light.

This junior schoolmate Amasawa is a very lucky charm....identity as a hidden chess piece gets preserved.

Other side, In the forest.

F8 area.

The sky gradually darkened, nearby groups also began to set up camp.

Utomiya was throwing wood into the firewood pile, and it became brighter.

Tsubaki Sakurako sat quietly on the side, checking scores on her tablet.

However, her presence doesn’t seem to be very strong.

“What’s the situation? Have you contacted Hosen?” Utomiya looked at Takuya Yagami, who had gone out to earn points this morning and had just returned.

Yagami and Tsubaki are in a group, while Utomiya is a soloist.

This is a two-hand preparation.

They all want to join Hosen’s plan to drop Ayanokoji out of school and will provide assistance.

But he also wanted to see if he could get into the top three. Now he has got the fifth place.

It is possible to continue moving up if you squeeze a little.

“I went to check on the target today. Then I found Nanase was already beside Ayanokoji-senpai. So the plan can go ahead. But I’ll still go to Hosen.”

“You’re still going out so late?” Utomiya frowned slightly. ’Although this island is not too dangerous, there are snakes, low steep and difficult mountain roads that require climbing and wading...If you act at night, the risk will increase.’

“Then I’ll stay here today. I just changed my bracelet. If I keep walking at night, I’ll be spotted.” ’I left some traces along the way, so if I don’t move now, will Ayanokoji catch up with me? I was actually looking forward to it.’

“By the way, what do you think of Kikyo Kushida from Class C, second year?”

”?” Utomiya looked at him curiously.

’Because almost all the freshmen know that you are Kushida-senpai’s bootlicker. So now you’re asking us what I think? Is there any problem?’

“Actually, I don’t have a romantic relationship with Kushida-senpai,” Yagami said as if he was confessing, “Rather, although she and I are from the same school, I heard that her reputation is not very good. And now here she is like a little angel.”

’In other words, the actions of you being a fan were actually intended to test Kushida-senpai?’ These words surprised Utomiya and Tsubaki deeply.

So, he met Tsubaki’s eyes first and then asked Yagami, “What do you know about Kushida-senpai’s bad reputation?”

Kikyo Kushida, a popular figure.

Although they are students in Class C, she has surpassed Class A once in the past.

At the same time, Kushida-senpai’s own data in OAA is also very strong.

Another concern for first-year students is that a classmate is a licker of this Kushida-senpai.

Yagami Takuya was also regarded as the shame of his grade. As a result, dog licker’s statement now is...

“In my junior high school, there is a legend about Kushida Kikyo.”

It was clearly Kushida-senpai in front, but here it has become Kushida Kikyo, “But this legend is not beautiful at all, because in third year of junior high school, all the students and teachers in her class went on strike for a month.”

“All the students... on strike?” Utomiya was a little surprised. ’Because to do this kind of thing you must at least have the ability to influence a class...even teachers can be influenced, which is really incredible.’

“And the person who triggered it was Kikyo Kushida. After this incident, she stayed indoors until she came back to this school. But now... she seems to be fine. So I’m very curious.”

’I see. Out of curiosity, you deliberately contacted Kushida Kikyo, wanting to know the truth.’ “But this kind of thing---Are you really okay with telling us?”

“After all, we are allies now. Besides, when I finish the task of dropping out, I will probably leave this school, it’s not suitable for me. Also, my reputation is ruined.” Yagami gave him a depressed look, but he cheered up the next moment.

Forehead.

It is said that teacher of first-grade Class B directly pointed out in class that Takuya Yagami was doing perverted things like being a fanboy or a maniac.

It really has a bad reputation.

“Besides, I think there is no other solution that can make people feel at ease except for me to drop out of school as well, to expel an innocent person just for 20 million points. Anyway, I have good academic ability. Even if I go out and study in an ordinary high school, I can definitely go to the university I want.”

“You think so,” Utomiya has good physical fitness, but his academic ability is not good enough.

However, Yagami easily mastered the studies that he was not good at. In fact, he was quite envious.

Now, Yagami Takuya went to the bathroom.

Fire Cackling!

The woodpile continued to burn.

“How credible do you think what Yagami just said is?” However, Utomiya asked while looking at the firewood.

Tsubaki Sakurako who had a low sense of presence and sat there quietly whole time.

“Just pretend you didn’t hear it,” However, Tsubaki, who had a low sense of presence, already felt creeped out, “First of all, Kushida-senpai and Vice president Hikigaya-senpai have a good relationship. I’ve seen two of them out together several times in the past month. I think these two are secretly dating. Besides, Kushida-senpai was also invited to join the student council. Even if the truth is as Yagami said, the fact that she was able to join the student council means that she was recognised. Are we going to go against the student council? You know how much power they hold?”

“....” Utomiya kept listening.

“At the same time. Don’t you think that what Yagami Takuya said is a bit exaggerated? One person caused the entire class, including the teacher, to go on strike. How did she, an ordinary student, do this? Although we have been taking cross-grade exams with seniors, the information we have obtained shows this is not only case with her class but ours too. You know kind of people who got admitted, and Class D is even more bad. So, if there are problems with this kind of innovation, school wouldn’t have passed students like Kushida-senpai during interview. We shouldn’t interfere with norms, because they will definitely rectify the situation.”

“So, what you are trying to say is...”

“Class competition is something that happens within same grade. Other grades can interfere, but it is not a good thing....You know the rumours about Nagumo-senpai, he was expelled because of this.”

“I see—” Utomiya touched his head, just nodded at what Tsubaki said.

In other words, pretend you didn’t hear the privacy that Takuya Yagami revealed.

Or say. In fact, both of them are from Class C, and Tsubaki Sakurako almost didn’t have a partner last month because she didn’t pay much attention to the issue of partners.

Then it was Utomiya, class representative, who went in person to recruit people for her.

It looks like a burden.

But, Utomiya knew it very well.

When getting along with Tsubaki Sakurako, she is actually the real representative of Class C.

Although he is physically strong and has decent academic ability, Tsubaki Sakurako is better than him in terms of brainpower.

And as a lower-ranked class, if they want to become A, his strength alone is definitely not enough.

“Let’s take it slow and steady. Wait until the situation becomes clear. Besides, I think Yagami is not right in the head if you noticed. So, if there is a situation, where we can get more benefits, just sell him out on what he told us,” Tsubaki was a dark-hearted girl, her words so cruel.

“I understand,” But Utomiya nodded without a second thought.

His goal is to be promoted to Class A, since even the worse D can be promoted to A in second year.

Then, might be a chance for Class C.

So, if he can get rid of competition like Yagami, very willing to do so.
