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

Princess Sakayanagi wants to be... a mistress?’

Even Yamamura herself from a reserved dark background felt this kind of thing was not good.

’However, it seems that not long after entering school, Sakayanagi-san and Hikigaya-kun were rumored to be having dinner together. At that time, it was widely publicized by Totsuka-kun from Katsuragi faction...She might have come into contact with Hikigaya-kun earlier, but...it seems like she missed the opportunity and became a loser.’

”Me? My ideal?”

Hachiman didn’t talk about his ideals yesterday, because many people probably already know about his future plans, ”I want to be a househusband.”

”Huh!?” Yamamura was shocked.

’Not only Princess Sakayanagi, but Katsuragi-kun and everyone else in the class also think highly of Hikigaya-kun. She even said that if we wanted Class A to graduate safely, then by collecting points and buying Hikigaya Hachiman, we would be able to settle down. Therefore, Hikigaya-kun received high evaluations. He is also very good. But...Huh? Instead of continuing his studies, getting a good job or going into politics, he ended up being a househusband who wants to return to his family?’

”Then what about Kushida-san...” Yamamura had been in contact with her these past two days, or rather, had been forced to be in contact with Kushida, and she had opened up her defenses towards this angel a little.

At the same time, because of tracking, she knew that two were dating.

’Although Hikigaya-kun seems to have a good relationship with Horikita-san, some students also said that two were dating, and even after sports festival ended, Horikita-san went to his class. It makes people feel you are quite obsessed in love, very romantic.’

But Yamamura feels that she has seen Hikigaya-kun and Kushida-san hold hands more often.

So, these two people are more like a real couple.

”Kushida knows. If we get married in the future, she will be the one doing work. She has agreed to it.”

’Yes, is that so? It’s time to talk about marriage. Does Princess Sakayanagi really want to get involved in such a debacle?’

Yamamura thinks that Princess Sakayanagi has a high chance of losing. Or rather, she seems to have already lost.

”Yamamura, do you have any plans for the future? It wouldn’t be fair otherwise, right?”

”I, I don’t have too many ideas. I just want to spend as little money as possible on college, and then find a job after graduation, become independent.”

Her words were ordinary.

But Hikigaya learned from Kushida that Yamamura’s family was divorced, and she even denied herself and felt that she was a burden.

Her current plan was to not disturb family as much as possible.

As for this kind of thing, it’s hard to talk about it with just a simple acquaintance.

There was no need for Hikigaya-kun to intervene.

Some things may be changeable.

This was probably the reason why she did not go to clothing store with classmates.

”Come to think of it, Yamamura, you have your own gloves, right? I saw you wearing them on the first day and yesterday.”

”This…Yes, but I forgot to bring it.”

”Well, there’s still quite a bit of time while we’re waiting for the bus, so why not go back and get it?”

What he thought of was that Sakayanagi’s gloves were not worn, and Kamuro-san went back to hotel to get them.

Then Yamamura can also do like this.

”Well...if the car comes, it will delay everyone.”

”So you’re saying you don’t want to cause trouble for everyone? That’s too humble.”

”Um...” Yamamura also found that after she said this, Hikigaya-kun seemed to be looking at her, ”Sorry, my thinking pattern is weird.”

She took the initiative to apologize.

But Hikigaya-kun shook his head, ”Everyone has their own way of survival, you don’t need to apologize.”

Yamamura’s character has a lot to do with her family background.

This is not something that ordinary students can intervene in.

Moreover, she already has her own plans for the future, so there is no need for others to interfere.

”What’s wrong?” Hachiman found that after he said this, Yamamura seemed to be looking at him in a daze.

”No, nothing.” She shook her head quickly, averting her eyes. ’But in my heart I feel that... Hikigaya-kun is indeed very different from ordinary classmates.’

Kushida-chan had been getting closer to her these past two days, and she knew that it might be her unsociable behavior that had caused girl to worry.

Kushida-chan hopes that she can come out of this and be more confident.

This is probably what other kind-hearted people think as well.

But Hikigaya-kun thinks there is nothing wrong with continuing like this.

As long as it feels right, there is no need to change it.

It’s quite surprising for Yamamura.

”Let’s go!” At this time, Ryuen walked out of the store, and Kito, with a silent look on his face, followed behind him.

”Let’s go to the ski resort. I want to defeat you Ghost.”

”I may not lose. Ryuen, don’t forget your bet.”

”Kuku, then you have to win first!”

’So to speak. Why did I take the bus for more than 20 minutes to come here?’ Hikigaya-kun complained in his mind, because it seems like Ryuen is having more fun than he imagined.

Half an hour later, members of two groups arrived at ski resort.

’Maybe our schedule today was to visit the city, so I only saw about thirty or forty students from our school at the ski resort....’

On the way, Hachiman also learned about bet between Ryuen and Kito.

500,000 private points.

Dragon Boy is now rich and powerful.

Although Kito is a student in Class A, if he wants to become a fashion designer, he needs to buy a lot of fabric materials, make patterns, etc.

Naturally, the more money he has.

”Ahhh—”

”Isn’t skiing fun?”

When Hachiman arrived at the ski resort, he saw students and tourists around them looking at golden-haired man in front who was performing a difficult challenge in the advanced area with shock.

Koenji Rokusuke!

Yes.

On the first day, he chose to sleep in the hotel. So it was normal to see Koenji here when you went to city according to the itinerary.

He is an independent and eccentric person.

Ryuen simply ignored monkeys. ’Because if I compare myself with someone like Koenji, I would definitely bring humiliation upon myself.....’

”Crack—”

However, while Hikigaya was waiting for Ryuen and Kito to change into their ski equipment, he noticed that he seemed to be being photographed.

He looked at the person taking the photo.

”Sorry.” Sakura apologized quickly, like a timid little squirrel, ”I, I’m just earning a living.”

”Um...are you employed by someone?”

Sakura has a camera, and the lens is very expensive. Hikigaya-kun bought one for her, one for 20,000 points.

The pixels of photos taken with the camera are much clearer than those taken with school’s mobile phones.

If you bring your cell phone to the ski resort, you may lose it, but you still want to keep good memories, so at this time, you can ask someone with a camera to help you take pictures.

Although Hikigaya-kun and Horikita-san went to Ryuen Class, Sakura stayed there.

The evaluation score of Class D is now only over 500 points.

For ordinary students, the living expenses become 50,000.

For class that used to have ample living expenses, this sense of gap is unbearable.

Of course, 50,000 is still enough.

But smart people will still choose more options.

Therefore, Hachiman recommended her few months ago, for Sakura’s use of her specialties to earn living expenses, especially since she can really do so.

As for original Class D.

Hikigaya-kun didn’t say that he would ignore it completely. To be more precise, he would use it when necessary.

Of course, roles that can be used now have decreased.

Take for example announcement on the day of this school trip that all students in grade would be graded.

He didn’t think school would be so boring and casual in arranging students’ grades, which meant that it would be applied.

Since it is a one-sided evaluation from the students, it will probably only be applied to this school trip.

Although he cannot confirm to what extent the school will adopt students’ evaluations, he is currently assigned to the eighth group, which is a bit problematic.

Although Hachiman knew that some people might be dissatisfied with him, he didn’t want to receive so many negative reviews.

Even Hikigaya-kun finds this outrageous. ’Because Kushida shouldn’t receive so many negative reviews, at least students from other classes won’t give her bad reviews....In other words, negative reviews came from within Class D. She obviously hasn’t noticed this now, otherwise would probably complain again.’



”Well... I can’t disclose identity...” Sakura seemed to have mustered up the courage to deny the request, ”Hi, Hikigaya-kun, do you want a photo?”

”Um?”

”Oh, I mean, do you need someone to take pictures? The lens for my current camera was also bought by you last year....”

So, you want to repay this favor?

But as for the lens, Hikigaya-kun bought it for her because of Sakura’s assistance, so she doesn’t need to return it.

”Then please take some. But not of me. I want you to take some pictures of Horikita.”

He knew that Horikita seemed to be entangled by Ibuki, and they were going to duel at the ski resort.

Of course, it seems this is also Horikita’s first time skiing.

Therefore, Ibuki should train Horikita first.

Ibuki is very fair in this regard and is simply a rare gem among students in Class C.

”Well, does that mean following the filming? But...is that okay?” Sakura was assigned to a group of 6 people.

Although it looks like there are few people. But her groupmates are from other places.

That is to say, when she just entered school last year, boys in the class started using computers to vote for ranking of the Big Titted girls.

The boy who contributed the computer.

Sakura was the one who was once pointed out by Yamauchi, so the atmosphere was very awkward.

Of course, Sotomura might have forgotten about this, but for Sakura, she would remember a lot of things.

Then students in other classes were all strangers.

This was pure torture for Sakura.
