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

Koenji probably resolved his worries, and then he found Ayanokoji taking his clothes to the bathhouse.

So, he followed directly.

Then a voice seemed to come from the boys’ bathhouse, ”Tyrannosaurus Rex, Tyrannosaurus Rex.”

Tyrannosaurus Rex, are these boys still children?

Hikigaya-kun was speechless.

It was just because of note in room before that he had to be the first to take a shower when he returned to hotel, and he couldn’t even soak in hot spring properly.

What a big loss.

’Therefore, it would have been better for me to take a bath with Sakayanagi when she asked me out.....’

”Ding ding!”

Hachiman noticed that he had received a message on his phone.

It was sent by a special person.

Sudo Ken.

Ding Ding Din-----!

”What the fuck....”

Hachiman set same ringtone for messages and calls from Kushida, Ichinose, Amasawa, as well as Karuizawa, Horikita, and Sakura.

This is to avoid being overwhelmed with messages and missing out on useful information they send.

This was a very timely move for him, as his address book only contained the numbers of his family and class teacher.

However, after all, he has been in this school for more than a year, and Hikigaya-kun has gotten used to it.

He clicked on message sent by Sudo.

[Oh my god! Hikigaya, help! It’s urgent! Onodera asked me to meet her in the corridor of vacant room at 8:30, and we went to visit tourist spots together during the day, so is she going to confess her love to me?]

”…”

Um.

Sudou can indeed understand this.

Ordinary people are just full of misunderstandings, because many people feel good about themselves and misunderstand the kindness of others.

Sometimes they are just gentle to everyone, but they think that they are just being gentle to themselves, and they think that other person has a good impression of them, so whether their confession will be successful or not....chances are high.

However, Hachiman learned from Kushida that Onodera seemed to have some ulterior motive for approaching Sudo.

Maybe Onodera has a crush on Sudo.

Nowadays, during school trips, it is not uncommon for students to want to develop a romantic relationship with someone they like, just like ordinary students.

It makes sense that Sudo is nervous now.

’So this is what happens when a guy who has been single since birth finds out that someone might confess to him and then becomes extremely nervous? You really can’t stand up, Sudo!’ Hachiman checked the time on his phone.

It’s eight twelve.

Judging from the fact that Sudo sent the message directly, Onodera probably didn’t give him too much time and just sent the message.

So, he was very nervous.

”I’m here in lounge on the first floor.” Hikigaya sent a message to Sudo.

After a while, figure appeared here.

Hachiman also noticed that he had changed into a clean yukata prepared by the hotel, and there was still a slight smell of shower gel on his body.

That is to say.

’You clearly said it was extremely urgent and you were nervous, but you still felt that someone might confess their love to you, and then... did you deliberately wash off the sweat odor on your body? Haha, man.’

”What do you think? I suggest that you go to the appointm----”

”That means I might get confessed, I still have to go! Hmm! If this continues, will I really have a girlfriend?” Sudo couldn’t even speak clearly.

”Actually, having a girlfriend isn’t such a stressful thing. It can even be a bit troublesome.” Hikigaya-kun felt that Sudo was a little too nervous.

”....” Sudo’s next response stagnated even more after this, ”Of course you would think so, Hikigaya, because you and Horikita have been dating for a year, no, a year and a half, so you are an old hand! Of course you’ll find it boring!”

No....Hikigaya-kun was also a virgin until a few months ago! ’I’m not dating Horikita. It’s Kushida who’s troublesome.’

The two of them went to the location where Onodera sent them.

The hotel is very big, after all, it can accommodate seventy or eighty students.

However, there were still a few rooms that were not occupied, and Onodera chose the corridor next to vacant rooms.

”Wait a minute!” At the corner of the corridor, Hikigaya suddenly grabbed Sudo.

Just as Sudo was about to ask, he heard a voice coming from the front.

[Um, sorry to call you out, but I feel that some emotions still need to be conveyed.]

”Already, has it started?” Sudo suddenly became nervous.

”.....” Hachiman was speechless by this guy’s behaviour. ’Now it sounds like someone is confessing, but the person speaking is not a girl, but a boy’s voice. It even sounded familiar....’

[Horikita Suzune, I have been paying attention to you since you entered school. I even thought you would transfer to our Class A after the sports festival ended.]

[The reason you ended up going to Class C was probably because of Hikigaya Hachiman.]

[You. Are you following Hikigaya, or are you chasing him because you are his lover?]

[Please tell me this.]

This is a boy’s voice.

But Hikigaya-kun couldn’t pretend that he didn’t hear the two names mentioned by other party.

So, he quickly leaned forward and could see the scene in corridor.

He saw Horikita wearing a red yukata.

The yukatas in hotel are all the vertical striped type, which is a bit old-fashioned.

The boys wore blue and white, while girls red and white.

Although it is very simple, it depends on who is wearing, and Horikita probably took a bath.



She also tied her hair into a ponytail.

What a subtle scene, it’s just Horikita’s face looked very cold, as if she is just to stab this guy to death.

He originally thought that it was Sudo who was confessed to, so he might just be a spectator.

’What we are seeing now is the scene where Horikita is confessed to. This is a student from Class A, how brave of him to be. Hashimoto.’

Hikigaya’s opinion of Hashimoto has dropped, because knowing him, guy is looking for people to bet on.

It can be seen that during this school trip, dragon boy took advantage of every opportunity to attack students in Class A, but Class A are from the intelligence field, so they naturally would not miss such an opportunity, and they are also looking to sow seeds in other classes.

But regarding Hashimoto’s question, Horikita should be able to answer it.

”Hashimoto is so brave....Man, I am pathetic.” Sudo finally understood.

It’s not Onodera, but Hikigaya who has a problem.

His girlfriend, Horikita, was confessed to by Hashimoto from Class A.

This kind of thing...

”I’m not interested in your thoughts.” However, Horikita’s voice rang out like ice crystals flowing into people’s blood and clotting all over, ”So there’s no need for me to reply to you. I can’t understand how you, as a member of Class A, can’t tell the relationship between others.”

”Eh....?”

”If this is strength of your Class A, then it will be pulled down by our class sooner or later.” Horikita’s attack power is very strong.

It can be said that if the previous Hashimoto wanted to ask Horikita about feelings, but she responded to him using class rank.

It’s already piercing Hashimoto. ’This girl is really annoying....’

But there was a look of regret on his ace.

At the same time, he felt that he couldn’t find out exact relationship between Horikita and Hikigaya.

While thinking this, he heard that voice again which seems to look down on Hashimoto even more.

”Just as you can see. Hikigaya-kun and I have been dating since we entered school. If you still want to interfere with other people’s relationships like this, then my opinion of you students in Class A was severely overestimated.”

”...Is that so? Why are you this cruel...” Hashimoto touched his head and left from other direction feeling like he should honestly go to bed and recover.

Probably forget this day.

The confession failed.

”What a boring trouble.” Horikita seemed to mutter to herself, and then she turned and left, ”Wasted my time.”

Hachiman and Sudo stayed where they were.
