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

But suggestion made Ike feel victimized.

Because this means that he has breached agreement he signed with Horikita-san.

In fact, if he can get a ranking and get points for class, there should be no problem.

But this year’s borrowing competition was different from last year’s. The goddess of luck did not favor Ike, and he participated in two consecutive rounds.

The first round of borrowing requires 10 friends.

This requirement is simply devilish.

The second round of borrowing required finding two cell phones from other classes.

Hey, hey, hey, which other classmate would be willing to lend you their cell phone in this situation?

So, both borrowing competitions failed.

He also brought a 2-point deduction.

So, when Ike found out that Hirata was willing to stop checking who had violated the rules, he thought that was a good idea.

But Karuizawa suddenly spoke, and he had no choice but to speak.

To avoid fire from burning yourself.

Because who knows whether his classmates will see Ike on competition field when he participates in borrowing competition.

”Anyway,” Horikita said at this time, to empty her personal space from being invaded by mosquitoes, ”The result of this competition is very disappointing. I didn’t break the agreement..So there’s no need for me to pay 2 million points.”

”That’s what I mean.” Kushida-chan also started to take sides at this time, ”Although some students violated the rules, it seems difficult to find out who did. Besides, there is still 50,000 living expenses next month. I think... it is still acceptable. Let’s work together next month to get it back!”

Little Angel Kushida-chan made a suggestion.

”Since Kushida-chan said so, I agree.”

”Me too!”

”Me too! Let’s follow Kushida-chan.”

”There’s no need to think hard!”

I heard or mostly noticed this a theme or well meme in fnafics? So, just deal with it.....

Kushida-chan is still popular.

At the same time, some people had already confirmed they were the ones who violated agreement, so they stopped making a fuss.

Otherwise, you will really be....

Then next month’s living expenses are deducted, and then it’s all over!

After sports festival, second-year Class D’s class evaluation score dropped from 755.7 points to -200 points to only 555.7.

Because sports festival was over, everyone started picking up trash in a very ordinary mood.

After finally packing up their belongings, everyone went back to their dormitories or found a place to eat.

After all, people had been exercising all day and were very tired.

Kushida-chan left later. She was with her best friend Wang Meiyu and Matsushita, who did not go with Karuizawa and others today.

Well... she’s a bit angry.

”Ah, sports festival is finally over. I’m not very good at sports, Kikyo-chan....”

”Speaking of which, Horikita-san is going to Class A, right?” Matsushita said deliberately at this time.

Just these words made Kushida-chan unable to help but look at Matsushita with big eyes. ’Isn’t it you, Matsushita-san, who participated in Horikita-san’s volleyball game? Then you should know her real goal! Transfer class. Not to A, but to C. The one that was crushed by ours last year.....’

”Going to Class A... is good, but I think she will go to C.” Mii-chan gave a surprising conclusion.

Her cheeks also turned red, as if she was a little excited.

When junior classmate Amasawa exposed Horikita, Wang Meiyu was not present there.

But, she was still able to guess class that Horikita would transfer to.

This is surprising.

”Why do you think so?” Kushida-chan asked without changing her expression, or revealing any sad vibes around.

”Because Hikigaya-kun is there. Wasn’t Horikita-san dating him last year? Now, they are together again. It’s super romantic!” Mii-chan cried, and she also revealed why she thought Horikita would go to Hikigaya’s class.

It’s because of love brain.

”So that means going to class where your lover is? That’s great.” Matsushita seemed a little envious.

”Yeah, that’s very romantic. Mii-chan knows so much.” Kushida-chan also agreed. ’What bullshit....Because Hikigaya Hachiman is dating me, Kushida Kikyo, okay! What does it have to do with you, Horikita Suzune? Or, when I didn’t know, Horikita Suzune had evolved and finally understood what love was? I feel cheated! How did this happen----!’

As everyone’s little angel, Kushida-chan still understands what love and friends are. ’Sometimes I feel that Horikita-san’s atmosphere towards Hikigaya-kun is strange. But he is the kind of person who has future goals and is responsible, so there is no need to worry about him....But now Horikita-san actually launched an offensive against boss....!’

This makes Kushida-chan unhappy.

Now Horikita Suzune has left the playground and headed to shopping street.

When Hachiman headed for destination according to the location sent by Horikita, he found that she had already arrived.



The other person was sitting in a booth and ordered two cups of coffee.

She was holding her phone and noticed him entering the store, then moved red eyes over.

”Have you been waiting for a long time?”

”No. You came just in time.” Suzune said normally, and then smiled, which was very rare.

???

Is this rare? Very much so!

So, Hikigaya-kun sat down opposite Suzune in a daze. ’After sitting down, I found a cup of steaming coffee on my desk.’

”Did you order this, Horikita?”

”Yeah. Don’t you like Max coffee the most? I think I ordered right thing.”

’Is that so? That is to say, after eating together for more than a year, Horikita has become familiar with my taste, and if it is the original Horikita, then she would probably order food for you only when she needs your help....’

But Horikita is no longer the same as before.

Hachiman liked to drink coffee, so he took two sips politely.

”Hmm...I don’t know why you like though? Most people would prefer at least cream or something else to sweeten it.” Suzune also put down her phone.

”Well, I don’t know how to explain it to you. Just think of it as my preference or something.....”

”Okay.”

”Fuuu... it’s warm.”

Look up into her eyes.

”Congratulations on winning first place in total score among second-year girls.”

In fact, as the person who announced test results, he was second person to know besides Sakayanagi.

However, as the person involved, Suzune should have been paying attention to the test results, so she should be first person to know.

”Yes, I think this result is reasonable.”

”Well then. Your physical fitness isn’t even the best among second-year girls. What are your considerations this time?”

In other words, is this questioning Horikita’s first place?

She immediately realized that Hikigaya-kun was going to test her.

But, Suzune also prepared answers for this test beforehand.

”In fact, before you left the class, I asked my brother. If one day you leave, then what will be meaningful to me? My brother’s conclusion is to go to where you are and see the scenery you see.”

In other words, Horikita clearly stated that reason she got first place this time and chose to transfer to Ryuen’s was because she wanted to be close to Hikigaya.

Horikita Suzune is really outspoken about what she wants.

This is a straight girl.

But Hikigaya-kun has been a student at this school for a year, and they have an agreement to get married after graduation, so he has become very thick-skinned.

Otherwise, he would immediately misunderstand that Horikita-san is confessing her feelings to him and for a moment he would feel like he’s falling.

Based on his understanding of Horikita, Suzune is the kind of person who doesn’t really understand the emotion of friendship, and she also said last year that she is not interested in love, so it shouldn’t be that she has awakened any seeds of love.

’This is reassuring. It should be said that it was all Amasawa’s fault...’ Hachiman was always surrounded by girls who liked him, so if he really found out that Horikita had feelings for him, he really didn’t know how to deal with it.

Because when being with Horikita....he doesn’t know how to explain it, but it feels like just being with his family.

So, he actually cares a lot about her.

Hikigaya-kun listened carefully to Suzune’s plan.

From her, he learned rules of this sports festival, and then thought of effect of the class transfer coupon.

Although it is basically useless to other students except 3rd-year students, for Horikita, it is a ticket that can lead to Class 2-C, that is, to side of Hikigaya-kun.

It was Hikigaya’s choice to leave class, but for her, if she wanted to grow, there would be no point in having a class without Hikigaya.

That’s why Horikita Suzune wanted to chase after him.

”Well then.” Hikigaya-kun then extended his left hand.

”Welcome to Class 2-C, Horikita Suzune. Although it’s only for a short semester, if you want to grow, I will assist you.”

”Right... please take care of me.” Suzune then stretched out her hand and shook his.
