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

Kushida had also been caught by Sakayanagi, and even had her other side discovered by.

She was then forced to confess her agreement with Hikigaya Hachiman to marry after graduation.

She told Sakayanagi some true things, but also hid what she didn’t tell her.

That is, she and Hikigaya actually had more than just an agreement, she also signed marriage registration form.

You can get married directly after graduation.

Therefore, she had long been in a position where she would not lose.

The only thing she had to worry about was that Ichinose was treated the same as her, and... girl was even bigger than her.

This is a rather sad story.

Eh....

Life is not easy, Kushida-chan sighed.

Although she was unwilling to accept it, was indeed no match for Ichinose.

’So, what if I can’t beat Ichinose-san, who cares! Sakayanagi is definitely not my opponent anyway when it comes to that stuff....Ha! I would blow her miles away.’

Therefore, in Kushida’s eyes, although Sakayanagi is very strong, she has long been a loser.

’And now, other party is actually working hard and struggling to get to the top. Isn’t it actually quite cute?’ Kushida-chan has always been thinking about the time when she was almost expelled from school because of Sakayanagi’s scheme.

Although she still maintains a ”good” relationship with Sakayanagi, she is also looking forward to that little girl losing and crying badly in her heart.

So, anyway Kushida was brought to the first row by Kamuro-san.

Sit down honestly.

Although it is a bit far from Sakayanagi’s direction, undeniable that the view from this location is also very good.

It’s considered thoughtful.

At the same time, this is not an ordinary school.

Although the atmosphere of cultural festival is very strong now, and even some parents and family members have sneaked into the school, they can even sell things to the staff who usually serve everyone.

There is a feeling of dislocation of relationships.

But at 5 o’clock today, everything will return to the way it was before.

It is still the school where strength is paramount.

So, Kushida is just following rules of this school. And so, girl has already sat down.

On the other side, Morishita Ai was also taking Hikigaya Komachi to where Sakayanagi was.

”You are Hikigaya Hachiman’s sister?”

”Um....So, big sister...” Komachi seemed to not know how to address this orange-haired girl, ”Will we be in same place later?”

”Just call me Morishita. Also, my position is not there. That’s the one which President Sakayanagi specially reserved for your brother who is Vice president of our school’s student council.”

Yeah, Komachi just nodded honestly with a little fear, because this senpai who is using their name all while, looks very fierce!

In fact, when she saw her brother, Komachi too saw that he was wearing an armband with words ”Vice President of the Student Council” on.

But now it seems that her brother is indeed taken seriously by student council president.

”That excellent viewing position has now been sold for as high as 500,000 yen per ticket.” Morishita probably thought Komachi might not understand Sakayanagi-san’s intentions, so specifically said more.

In fact, Morishita seemed to be working very hard today.

Although Sakayanagi only bought two seats there and didn’t have her own, Morishita still felt good.

Because the person that Sakayanagi arranged to lead Hikigaya Komachi was her, not Kamuro-san.

She was assigned to get Kushida away.

’Did I actually get the approval of Princess Sakayanagi?’ Even though, Morishita was following orders around, she felt intensity and levels got increased a lot.

It means...you have been recognised.

Komachi was quickly brought to the school’s student council president.

She discovered this was super cute silver-haired Lolita who greeted Horikita-senpai at school gate in the morning.

She sat quietly with a cane on the left side of her seat. It seems that Senpai is not in good health.

But this weak look makes people want to protect her.

”My name is Sakayanagi Arisu.”

After watching Komachi take her seat following instructions, Sakayanagi introduced herself.

Komachi noticed that other person’s voice was also quite pleasant.

”You must be Hikigaya-kun’s Imōto, right? I’m the only daughter in my family and have always been looking forward to having brothers and sisters. So, you can call me Onee Sakayanagi.”

Komachi felt a little flattered.

Although she calls the other person ”Onee”, President looks way too younger than her.

But Sakayanagi is super cute.

As a younger sister, Komachi is extremely vigilant.

She could sense that Kushida-nee seemed to want to become her sister-in-law, so she tried to build a relationship with her, and Komachi didn’t object to that.

After all, it is rare to have a wife who is willing to be a social animal and support her own family.

Especially her sister-in-law, Kushida, is considerate and capable.

So, if the full score is 100, then Komachi can give Kushida an 89.

But disadvantage is, why haven’t you gotten married yet? Although you have filled out the marriage registration form, it’s not completely set in stone yet because you haven’t gotten married, right?

”Saka, Onee-Sakayanagi.”

However, now facing student council president, Komachi still gave Arisu enough face.

She followed Kushida to visit the school today.

Although, Kushida seemed to have many things to say, Komachi did not think this school was so simple.

Or if it is too ordinary, then her brother would not be able to get so much money from it.

So, people here must treat it with caution.

Especially Student council president.

Komachi originally thought that Horikita-senapi was already very strong, and since Onee-Sakayanagi could become his successor, she must not be as weak as she looks.

At the same time, Akane Tachibana also said that you should not underestimate Sakayanagi Arisu.

So, Komachi decided to build a good relationship.

But it happened quickly.

”Well, being called a sister is really new. I can experience a little bit of the fun of Hachiman-kun. For the time being, I think it’s not bad to have a younger sister forever.”

Although this was just other party’s occasional sigh.

But Komachi felt that topic was trending in the wrong direction. ’Onee-Sakayanagi, what do you call my brother? Shouldn’t it be Hikigaya-kun? Why did it become Hachiman all of a sudden? Also, what about what you said about always having a sister?!’

”Please let me introduce myself again.” Sakayanagi looked at the stage with her colorful eyes, her superior aura couldn’t be denied.



”I am the student council president of Advanced Nurturing High School. My father is chairman of the board of directors of this school.”

Boom! Boom!

Na Na Naaaa!!?

Chairman, does that mean your family is very powerful?

”I currently have a huge crush on Hikigaya Hachiman. The location we are viewing today is actually unknown to Hachiman.”

”•????!!!!0 o”

!!!

Komachi’s pupils contracted.

Straight ball! Love me! Kill me~!!

F-Fuck! Wtf______!!!

Hello, Hello, what are you saying?!

”Ahhhhh.” Komachi understood instantly that this position was probably not reserved for her brother by Sakayanagi, but was done to persuade her brother.

’This senior Sakayanagi, as student council president, not only has a crush on my brother, but... she also wants to work through me to win my brother over! I’m afraid she must have noticed me at school gate in the morning!’

Now that her brother has chosen Kushida-senpai as his marriage partner, Komachi cannot afford to lose her composure.

She is now even a staunch supporter of Kushida’s Empire.

Thinking of this, Komachi immediately became extremely strong.

”But you may not know the situation yet. Your brother is promoting his future ideas in school. As far as I know, he has expressed to different girls more than once that if they can marry him after graduation, or even agree to his ideal of being a househusband, he can marry anyone. And in return, will pave the way for other party’s future development in school.”

”o ! O”

’By the way, Onii-chan, are you really that kind of person?’ Although... Komachi was aware that her brother was hopeless, she still found it outrageous when she actually heard.

Bastard! Hopeless! Stupid Onee-chan!

She was a little uneasy, even used different alphabets on thinking same word.

Because even though Onee Sakayanagi said so, Komachi felt this kind of thing was possible, because although Kushida-nee was nice, what was she looking for in brother?

Especially. Even if her brother is performing well now, he won’t go to work in the future.

The result is a transaction.

The school was unusual and allowed brother to earn a lot of cash.

Having such cash and interpersonal relationships you gain can pave the way for half of your future, plus school’s external publicity is its high admission rate and employment rate.

Komachi felt that she seemed to understand core of this school.

But this shouldn’t be problem now.

’If my brother married Kushida-nee with conditions, based on my thoughtful understanding of brother’s way of thinking... maybe it would be more than just choosing one person to bet on....Not only sister Kushida-nee, but also Horikita-senpai’s sister Horikita Suzune has same identity? Ah...Onee-chan, don’t make so many problems for Komachi!’

Last year, her brother asked Chabashira to bring Kushida-nee’s letter of agreement.

She thought she might have to help her, so she took several marriage registration forms.

But that’s just to prevent typos from being made and corrected.

Instead of... asking you, brother, to really find several people.

”Although marriage is the grave of love, it is also filled with a lot of transactions. I think this kind of future is meaningless and unfortunate. Your brother’s ideas in this area still have not matured.”

If Kushida agreed to marry her brother for her own future development, then it was just an exchange of interests.

This is a loveless marriage.

’My brother also said that he has been dating Kushida-nee since April, so he is cultivating their relationship, right? However, Horikita-senpai also said that he was dating his sister Horikita Suzune...Onee-chan, what’s going on here? Did someone took over your body or else? I don’t know anything at all!’ Komachi felt a lot more than confused here.

In other words, it is no longer a very accurate Kushida to be wifey.

Because if Suzune also has the same status as Kushida’s, then Komachi shouldn’t stand on either side, but wait to accept whoever becomes her sister-in-law in the end, right?

”This is probably the situation of your brother in school. As far as I know, he actually has two contract marriage partners now.”

So, number of spare tires is also correct.

Komachi doesn’t think it’s really safe riding on many boats at all!
