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

”Hey, you haven’t eaten yet, so let’s go have some ramen!”

”Hehe~, Shizuka-chan knows me best. Go Ramen!~”

Zroom! Zroom!

”According to travel guide, there is a very famous ramen restaurant nearby.”

Haruno felt that if she had known earlier, she would not have eaten so much at KFC.

Must have a big bowl of ramen later.

But for now, she’d better become the type that Hiratsuka likes. She is one of her very few friends.

Although Haruno can’t say everything, she cherishes her very much.

Other side.

Hikigaya-kun is still in shopping district.

[I’ve finished my work here, what about yours?]

Texting Amasawa.

Now that he has eaten, if Junior has not eaten yet, he can rush back to cook for her.

But because he had already eaten, he could only watch her eat.

[I ate plain bread with Kushida-senpai. She is studying law now, so I am helping her. ’O › O]

by Amasawa.

Help Kushida.

Although it seems that Amasawa is like Kushida’s natural enemy, her reputation as a genius is not false, and she can indeed help Kushida.

[But I have entered 3.1 million yen from private sale of the high-priced tickets for this cultural festival into the point card and put it with my senpai. As for sales revenue, I can still take 30%. But I will get it from the teacher tomorrow.] by Amasawa.

”.....” Hachiman.

So, this is really not reason why he cooks for other person....can you please believe him?

Although he feel sorry for junior, he can continue to cook for her tomorrow.

Hachiman sat in KFC and looked out from the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

Seeing a cute girl with a golden ponytail passing by the window alone, Hachiman waved to her.

”Hey!”

The other party didn’t notice it at first, but at a certain moment, she looked over and found that Hikigaya-kun was here.

”Why are you suddenly waving at me so directly?” Karuizawa walked in from outside and said, feeling flattered at the same time.

”I just picked up 20 million in cash for free, and I’m in a good mood. So, if you haven’t eaten yet? I’ll treat you.”

”.....” Karuizawa. ’Is this guy the reincarnation of an ATM machine? Why is he eating money every day?’

Originally, Sato suddenly got her period in the evening, and she didn’t have any sanitary products prepared, so Kei lent her her own preventive supplies to her.

However, Sato’s dysmenorrhea is quite severe.

So, Karuizawa also wanted to go out shopping, so she helped other party buy sanitary napkins.

Now the purchase is complete.

So it’s okay to leave it alone.

”Ah...what happened?” Karuizawa sat in the position that Haruno had just sat in.

Hikigaya-kun still trusts Karuizawa, whose values are still relatively positive as a good friend.

”You mean that Yukinoshita Yukino’s sister spent 20 million to stop you from dating her, your Secretary?” Karuizawa found it unbelievable and even felt that Haruno was being taken advantage of.

”Actually, there is a reason for this money. On the one hand, it is other party’s temptation. If I have feelings for Yukinoshita, then I can’t sign this agreement. So, doing this way can give her peace of mind. The fact that she gave me this money actually also means that she hopes I can give some guidance to her younger sister... Besides, Yukinoshita is now a student in Class A. Although there is a high chance that she can graduate from such, if she cannot do it, then I will not be able to take this money. So I have to use it to buy a place for Yukinoshita to graduate from A.”

”...So, is it your profit or loss? Sorry, my maths is not good.” Karuizawa suddenly felt this boy’s head is too big for her to handle.

”After all, it was her sister who paid for it. The school points have to be deducted when they are exchanged for cash, but other party gave me cash directly, so there is still some profit to be made from the price difference. It’s not like I lost all my money.”

”Oh....”

”At the same time, if something happens that goes beyond agreement, such as me dating Yukinoshita, of course I don’t think this is possible, but the money must be returned according to agreement. So no matter how you look at it, other party won’t lose. The last possibility is that I lose everything I have invested, but I don’t think this will happen.”

’I see....But looking at it this way, the sister of this junior Yukinoshita Yukino is of a very high level. Also, doesn’t this mean that you are becoming more and more popular? Although you are still so straight. I feel that love is really impossible!’

It makes people feel a little relieved, but Karuizawa feels that more relieved he is, the more people seem to cling to him.

Eh....Really.

Karuizawa felt that although she was a discipline committee member with a low sense of presence and did not need to go to student council when she had nothing to do, she still went to increase her presence.

The first and final cultural festival of Advanced Nurturing High School has ended.

The next day came.

August 20th.

Today was not an easy day for all the students, because on 1st, the homeroom teachers of each class said that rules of the sports festival would be announced the day after cultural festival.

That means there are two special exams this month.

How can you be so heartless?

However, although this is a test for students, teachers cannot ignore it.

The level of remuneration and salary among class teachers is also related to the class ranking.

But there is one teacher who has become independent, or in other words, she can accept it calmly regardless of whether hers is A or Class D.

Because this is Chabashira, current homeroom teacher of Class 2-D.

”.....”

It seems to be a mess. But her class’s resume last year was still unique.

It climbed up from Class D and reached A. Although it only lasted for a month, it still got promoted.

Set a record for this school.

It also brought a lot of confidence to the lower classes, makes things that originally seemed impossible become a lot more dreamable.

However, now returned to Class D.

When Hachiman left the dormitory and headed for cafeteria to get some breakfast, he noticed Chabashira-sensei in the small flower garden nearby.

She was not wearing the fresh look of her high school uniform like yesterday, but was wearing a red sportswear.

’I don’t know if it’s because of the performance I watched yesterday, but I always feel that the way she’s dressed now is a bit eye-catching. Then she was still watering plants with the hose. According to what she said before, the adult world is not that easy... Even as a class teacher, one still has to do some volunteer work.’

”Good morning, Chabashira-sensei.”

Hikigaya-kun was in a good mood, so he took the initiative to hello other party.

”Hikigaya...”

However, Chabashira seemed to have been lost in her own thoughts when she noticed someone calling her.

But when she saw that person greeting her was Hikigaya Hachiman, one of the members who had shone brightly on the stage at sports festival yesterday, she looked over.

”Hey, Chabashira-sensei, be careful!”

Hikigaya-kun feels very wronged.

Because water from the pipe just splashed towards him, if he hadn’t dodged it quickly, he would have had to go back to the dormitory to change clothes.

”Shit. Please wait a moment.” Chabashira said, and then finally seemed to have completely come to her senses.

She turned around and turned off the faucet.

”...Good morning.” Actually, Hachiman feel a little embarrassed now.

Because he had just casually said hello, and it was a polite expression, so he could have left after saying hello, but other party really wanted him to stay, and he was at a loss as to what to do.

It’s just that Chabashira-sensei is Horikita’s type.

If this type of person takes initiative to contact you, there must be something going on.

Or...she wants something from you.

Hachiman also remembered that other party had just finished a performance yesterday and was sought after by many male teachers.

”Could it be that she was harassed by.....?” Hachiman noticed that she was still wearing ring on the middle finger of her left hand.

”It’s not about that. I have already rejected all the male teachers who sent me messages... I applied for resignation a while ago and will not have any thoughts of dating or getting married in next three years.”

In other words, besides meeting Chie Hoshinomiya in person to have a drink with, you can also send a message to ask.

It was indeed his mistake.

However, Hachiman also once again comprehended the aura of Horikita version of the steely straight woman.

”Then what happened?” Hikigaya-kun looked over in confusion.

”O’ •” At this time, Chabashira was also looking at other person, but suddenly her eyes seemed to relax the big difference in pupil. ’The Hikigaya-kun in front of me is wearing a student uniform, a genuine high school student. So, what was I thinking about earlier? It’s not fair to Horikita, and very immoral behaviour.....’

”Come to think of it, Mashima and Sakagami were injured yesterday, and they contacted me before, saying that real culprit who injured Komiya from his class and Shinohara from mine was not Hosen, and that we need to go and confirm it. It’s a bit like a reinvestigation. And I wanted to participate. But....” Chabashira took out her cell phone from her right pocket.

[Chabashira-sensei, please do not get involved in any contact with Sakagami-sensei.]

by Hikigaya Hachiman.

”.....” What kind of private message boys are now sending to female teachers? Is the world really changed?
