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

Other side.

It’s also lunch time.

In order to create sales for students, the cafeteria is not open today.

Sakayanagi naturally couldn’t go back to her exclusive cafeteria room on the third floor.

There was also lunch, fried noodles bought from 3rd grade.

”.....” Princess Sakayanagi looked at the ordinary fried noodles and the matching bubble milk tea.

”Just make do with it. This is the only food we have now.” Kamuro-san said with dissatisfaction in her tone.

”...Mpmph!” Arisu pouted in dissatisfaction.

”I heard from the puppies that Ichinose-san’s class is selling steak dinners. They have steak and a buffet, but Kamuro-san is this one you’re giving me to eat?” Sakayanagi seemed very dissatisfied with how she was being treated.

But there is no use being dissatisfied.

Kamuro-san has no mercy.

”I don’t think you want to go there. Because Hikigaya and Ichinose are in the steak house.”

???

Sakayanagi looked over with some confusion, ”Are you saying that Hikigaya-kun and Ichinose-san went on a date at the store?”

”Date? You can understand it that way. The steak restaurant in Ichinose’s class is very popular. Everyone goes there to eat. I wanted to go there to pack for you, but I found that Hikigaya was already there, and he was with Ichinose. Because there were so many guests, they even shared tables with people from outside the school....I noticed that people they shared with were a mother and daughter, and they looked similar to Ichinose. After observing for a while, it seemed that they were really relatives of Ichinose.”

In other words, this is meeting the parents!

Ichinose directly took Hikigaya-kun to meet her parents. She has a hand.

Although Kamuro-san thought so, but Sakayanagi decided to eat some fried noodles first.

”Your emotions are calm?” However, Kamuro-san seemed to be more anxious than her.

”This time, we will invite guests to the cultural festival. Although homeroom teacher said it was random, I have already confirmed that someone from Ichinose family will come.... And it turns out that students got recognised by school were indeed invited in. That’s why we were able to see Hikigaya-kun’s sister at the school gate. It’s a bit regrettable that his parents didn’t come.”

’Is that so? So your ambition is to meet the other party’s family directly?’ Kamuro-san originally thought little girl would really be very sad right now.

”But... now Ichinose has let Hikigaya meet her family.”

”Don’t be nervous. Hikigaya-kun has already met my father. I am steady on this step.”

’Is that so? You call it meeting the family members when students go to meet chairman of the board.’

However, Kamuro-san felt here was nothing wrong with Sakayanagi’s understanding, because Hikigaya and Chairman Sakayanagi had dealt with each other many times, so they would definitely understand each other better than other people’s families.

And judging by Sakayanagi’s calm expression, her father probably didn’t deny Hikigaya.

In other words, it was assumed that Sakayanagi’s father had given his permission.

So, Loli’s have the advantage of being cute here.

Hikigaya’s parents didn’t come today, but other party’s sister came.

”Isn’t it a big deal now? Because Hikigaya’s sister is with Kushida. I’ve told you to pay more attention to her a long time ago.” Kamuro-san reported everything she knows that could be harmful.

The news received from Yamamura was that Hikigaya Komachi had contacted Kushida at around 10 o’clock, and now, other classmates sent information that two of them were still acting together.

Judging from Kushida’s communication skills, girl should have a very good relationship with Komachi now.

So what about you, Sakayanagi?

”Don’t worry. I have already made arrangements.”

Is there? Kamuro-san has always been with Sakayanagi, and doesn’t think she has any new moves.

At most, she was asked to arrange someone to find her junior classmate Amasawa to buy expensive seats for the afternoon performance at the stadium.

Then they felt that seat was not good, and even paid money to ask the faculty and staff who had reserved it in advance to give up the seat.

It’s simply a waste of money.

Kamuro-san feel like Sakayanagi will lose if she does this.

However, if her love-brained personality were to be pointed out to her, it would be a disaster if Kamuro-san were to be hired as a love consultant in the future.

After all, Kamuro-san herself has no experience in love.

It was afternoon.

Kushida-chan considered that her spot in Class A had been bought by Hikigaya-kun, so she would have to marry him after graduation.

She still hesitated when signing the marriage registration form.

Suddenly, now realized how much weight her signature carries.

But after getting along with each other, it seems that Kushida-chan think this is not bad.

Besides, Hikigaya’s sister is also a good kid, and Kushida likes her quite a bit.

She is an only child and has no experience of having any siblings.

So, having a little more is indeed a nice feeling.

Kushida is very good at reading the atmosphere and building relationships.

Although the guest only had one day to visit school, it was enough time for her to maintain a relationship with Komachi, and they continued to keep in touch through letters afterwards.

Information such as Komachi’s birthday and hobbies are also available.

Even found out that name of the cat in Hikigaya’s house is Ka-kun.

Also, Hikigaya actually likes cats and seems to be attracted to puppies as well.

She also knew that she could get permission to go out, or send things and letters out, from the student council or chairman of the board.

Therefore, as long as you spend some points, you can maintain the relationship with Komachi.

Because girl had a purpose, Kushida-chan was more attentive than usual when interacting with her friends.

After lunch, she did not take Komachi to visit the students’ projects, but left the group and took Komachi to formally visit everything in school.

From teaching building to the shopping street, and then to dormitory building.

She even brought Komachi to her own dormitory for lunch break.

Of course, the shopping streets were basically closed because people were invited to participate in the tour.

However, this also allowed Komachi to more intuitively understand the environment her brother lived in.

”Thank you so much today, Kushida-nee.” Komachi also had a good impression of her.

She was like a little angel.

Komachi could feel that other party seemed to be... trying to curry favor with her.

But she didn’t think there was anything about herself that could be flattered.

’In other words, in the relationship with Kushida-nee, Onee-chan is actually the dominant one. This is good. Because in love, being favored is a safe bet. As long as you are favored, it will be easy. Even if you have many shortcomings, they will be tolerated by other party. So to speak. How did my brother find such a taker... No, such a little angel is willing to marry him...!’

But Komachi also knew that her brother was very powerful when he got serious.

Especially since…this guy actually made so much money after entering this school.

It’s outrageous.

After lunch break, two returned to the teaching building area. Very quickly.

”Oh no, if we don’t hurry over there will be no room left!”

Instead, two first-year girls ran past them from behind, as if they were doing something urgent.

”Ah....” Komachi nodded with a hurried sigh, ”I almost forgot, my brother’s performance is about to start. I actually forgot because I was having so much fun with Kushida-nee!”

”Hmm?” Kushida was slightly stunned, because she actually heard something new, ”Hikigaya... performance?”

”Yes. I found out when I met my brother this morning. He will be performing at the gymnasium.”

Huh?

But Kushida-chan was stunned for a moment. Because no one had told her about this. ’Wasn’t it said that Hikigaya-kun was just a means to attract popularity? In the end, he actually wanted to do it himself? I didn’t even buy a ticket!’

While thinking this, she found that people around her were all walking towards the gymnasium.

If you don’t go at all, it’ll feel like missing out on something.
