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

Hachiman originally thought Ichika didn’t have many friends, so he introduced Isshiki Iroha to her.

But look now, did Yukinoshita win Amasawa’s heart more?

So, Hachiman spent rest of July learning cooking from Yukino.

Then it became like this.

“Hey, Amasawa, why do you feel there is more work for us?” President Sakayanagi was forced to come to the office to work overtime.

“It seems that vice president has been busy recently. So some work is pushed over to us. I probably caused this. I will take care of it.”

“Then Hikigaya-kun is a very busy man,” Sakayanagi nodded with a shake of her face. In fact, she was not that averse.

’Because last night, Hikigaya-kun made some Tom Yum Goong soup and brought it to me to taste. So the usual lazy activities are probably learning how to cook. Aren’t you working hard for your future life, Hikigaya-kun?’ Therefore, President Sakayanagi felt that a temporary absence from work was acceptable.

At the end of July, Student council issued a notice.

Warned two students.

One is a current first-year student in Class B, named Akita Reina.

The rumor slandered a student in class named Isshiki Iroha and brought negative impact to her.

After school investigated the truth, it was discovered that Akita Reina’s statement was a rumor.

A one-week suspension as punishment.

The other person who was warned was a student in Class 1-C.

Yagami Takuya.

The excuse was that other party had also used rumors to slander a senior student during uninhabited island exam and punished him by suspending for 3 days.

The Student council also warned all students that school strictly prohibits the generation and spread of rumors because of impact caused by rumors among students last year.

The students in first-year Class C, which had fallen behind B, saw names of people from their class appear on student council’s bulletin board.

It should be said that fortunately no points were deducted.

“Yagami, can you behave a little?”

“You seem quite smart and you’re good at studying, but why can’t you be more decent?”

“Can you please stop bothering Kushida-senpai?!”

“Do you really want to be expelled!”

“I will beat you up, okay?”

The announcement said that Yagami was saying bad things about senior students, but only one they knew he was harassing Kushida-senpai.

Is Yagami sick again?

“…..” Takuya sat in his seat with a polite smile and an innocent expression.

His classmates were pointing at him, but he didn’t listen at all.

Because he was reported now, he told Utomiya about Kushida-senpai when they were on uninhabited island, and then Utomiya reported him.

What a pity.

Such a report would mean that Utomiya is really boring and is just trying to suppress his class just for the sake of class rivalry.

But it’s a pity.

Yagami is a student of White Room, and he has no interest in the so-called class-versus-class competition.

He was in a good mood.

Mr. Tsukishiro, who was in the way, had left, but he had not been called back, which meant that his mission could continue.

At the same time, no new adults from White Room came in. That meant there would be no discipline.

It’s his time to play freely.

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka has ignored him several times.

So how can he create a situation where he can fight against Ayanokoji Kiyotaka and other party is willing to fight him with all his strength?

Although it is something that has not been confirmed yet, Yagami is in an unusually good mood.

But this was immediately misunderstood by his companions.

“Yagami really has a hole in his brain!”

“You’re so happy even though you were scolded....”

Ayanokoji Kiyotaka also came to class.

Because Tsukishiro left school at the beginning of month, but before leaving, other party talked to him alone.

“I think you probably know why I came here. But unfortunately, I failed to complete the task properly. But you will have to take care of Yagami’s affairs.”

“Next month, that adult will be able to enter this school legally, so. Either return to him, or seize this opportunity to make up for your flaws. If you can’t do this, you will not be the signboard we expect to be launched as White Room’s Masterpiece.”

Tsukishiro is actually difficult too.

At the same time, Ayanokoji Kiyotaka is indeed quite important.

Tsukishiro’s main business in the past was Yakuza, which was responsible for the circulation of all information and he was Mr. Naoe’s go to man.

He was then assigned to assist Ayanokoji Atsuomi in establishing White Room...

There was no money and no people in the early stage, although they later obtained funding channels with help of Sakayanagi Narumori.

However, in order to let those investors see their determination and believe that White Room is harmless, Ayanokoji Atsuomi decided to put on a show.

He chose to marry Kabuki Mika and give birth to a child, and put the child in white room.

’I have placed my biological child in the White Room, so White Room is reliable. Why are you still panicking?’ That’s what Mr. Ayanokoji conveyed to such people.

But it is actually a lie.

Because Advanced Nurturing High School had already been established and was considered promising, White Room was established to compete with it and become a bargaining chip for Mr. Naoe’s election.

Of course, this is the role of White Room, and in order to convince people, rhetoric is to prove that genes cannot determine everything, and that countless acquired geniuses can be created in White Room.

Finally, funds were gathered, and a group of children came voluntarily or were deceived.

The course difficulty is divided into ten levels.

The most difficulty level above this is called β course, and only fourth-term students take it.

Due to closed environment, VR courses were arranged to understand the external environment and culture.

Starting from 5th Gen, communication skills courses are added to cope with normal life outside White Room.

Starting from 8th Gen, future education policy was confirmed, alternating between 4th and 5th levels.

At a certain time, a test was conducted, and losers were eliminated.

The difficulty of each test increased or decreased according to results of the last and first place.

But even with continuous development and expansion, the most powerful one in the end is still Ayanokoji Kiyotaka who took β course.

He was the only student left in that class, and also only qualified one.

But there is no emotion.

Ayanokoji Atsuomi thinks Kiyotaka’s only shortcoming, and he has been thinking about how to make up for it, but it is obviously impossible to do it in White Room, so why not let him experience campus life that is not so plain, perhaps it will improve the situation.

But looking at it now, it’s still too difficult.

So, Tsukishiro had no choice but to retreat.

For Kiyotaka now, the news he got from Tsukishiro has become a mission.

That is, he needs to expel Yagami Takuya from school within next month.

In front of that man.

He knew he couldn’t escape from that man, so let that man know that he was not affected even though he was here.

It is still highest masterpiece of White Room.

Yagami has been wondering how Ayanokoji will fight him, but Kiyotaka is ready for a long time.

Time came to August 1st.

All students gathered in their classrooms.

On one hand, at 7 o’clock, everyone received their living expenses.

And then... now that Chairman is back, school’s custom of holding special exams every month should also begin.

Some bots are worried about difficulty of exam and whether a new purge will implicate them.

However, there are also some gangsters with ulterior motives who regard every special exam in school as an opportunity to make money.

This person.

“I’m talking about you, Ryuen. Go down now. I have to announce special exams for this month.” Sakagami came to the class in a sour mood.

’Then he chased away Ryuen, who was collecting points from students at the podium and transferring money. But judging from teacher’s rather anxious state, it is obvious that we should be able to get good marks in this exam.....!’ Hikigaya-kun thought to himself.
