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

”The students in class I just met reported that Horikita was found by Hashimoto.”

This is not gossiping, but Sakayanagi will pay attention to the uncertain students in class.

These are things that only people close to Sakayanagi can know, and although Hashimoto seems to be He right-hand man, Sakayanagi does not completely trust him.

Hashimoto has not yet been assessed by her. They are even judged to be easily betrayed.

Now it is indeed the case.

Without receiving any orders from Sakayanagi, Hashimoto acted on his own to interact.

”I did not give instructions to most of the students, but allowed you to act freely. Reporting intelligence is also your own choice. It is Hashimoto-kun’s freedom to approach students from other classes.” Her voice seemed very calm.

But Kamuro-san knew that Sakayanagi’s opinion of Hashimoto had declined. ’That Morishita Ai really wants to suppress Hashimoto.....’

The news of this report was released by Morishita Ai.

She and Hashimoto were assigned to the same group. Although they were classmates, she was paying attention to Hashimoto’s movements.

Report it if you find something wrong.

This was a spontaneous action on her part. Her purpose is clear.

Morishita probably thought that Hashimoto was highly regarded by Sakayanagi.

Then she would have no place, result thought of pulling Hashimoto down.

’Is it really so attractive to be Sakayanagi’s dog?’ Kamuro-san didn’t understand such people’s thoughts.

Horikita was mentioned, Sakayanagi obviously had to say a few words.

After all, it was previously speculated that Horikita was influenced by Manabu, and the younger sister who was assigned to Class D had to come to Class A at least.

But that was not case.

Horikita Suzune went to Class C to look for a man! It’s confirmed on entire campus facility.

”Hey, Airi, it’s been a busy day today. How many photos did you take?”

”I’ll take for 500-1000 yen. I think this price is pretty good. It’s just that everyone from our class thinks it is a bit high.....” At this time, another girl came to bathhouse.

They were familiar people, one was Hasebe Haruka from Class D, and the other was Sakura Airi.

Among them, Sakura had trained physically with Kamuro-san and studied with Sakayanagi.

They are acquaintances.

However, the two of them did not find any value in Sakura, so they always treated each other as a mascot.

However, Sakura, who is a cowardly student, also has a friend.

Kamuro-san noticed that it was Haruka who was holding Sakura’s hand just now, and she was a little unhappy about this.

Because they both looked like they would never have friends, but Sakura actually had friends earlier than her.

As a result, she doesn’t have any reliable friends now.

Eh....A little bit of failure. Kamuro-san is in a trance.

Sakayanagi thought that she had heard a good topic.

Because Sakura came with a camera and seemed to be helping to make money from the photos.

So, can she ask other party to do something?

As for the high price of 1,000 yen for a photo, it is not a big deal for Miss Sakayanagi.

After all, she spent 40,000 yen to treat Kamuro-san to lunch today.

Sakura and Haruka probably didn’t notice Sakayanagi and others, but were sitting on a small chair beside them washing their hair.

So big....



(¬⤙¬ ) Sakayanagi turned her face away from those two, she was not in the mood to ask photos anymore, ”Kamuro-san... let’s get out. I can feel those airbags staring at me.”

It’s difficult for her pet to keep a straight face, ”Maybe, we could get something? Let’s stay for a few minutes.....”

”Hmmm....How do those girls move anyway? It’s completely beyond me.”

Then Haruka continued to speak, without realising she just offended Sakayanagi to death with her G-cups, ”Come to think of it, school trip was incredible. It seems like a couple was born. That’s great, right? Is there any boy that Airi likes?”

”Eh?” Sakura probably didn’t expect to be asked such a question.

Usually, when she gets along with Haruka, she talks more. Sakura likes to listen but doesn’t like to express her own opinions.

Do you want to be asked about the result now?

”Well, I don’t have this idea, but I think love is a very important thing. So, it’s better if the relationship can last longer.”

”I see... that seems very conservative. Love during school years can be easily interrupted and ended.”

”But, but we shouldn’t be so pessimistic, because, because, haven’t Hikigaya-kun and Horikita-san made a good start?”

”Indeed, those two have been inseparable since last year, and now Horikita has joined Hikigaya’s class. She went there for him. Just now didn’t we saw two of them drinking coffee alone in lounge~~Ehhe~ I think this kind of relationship will continue even after graduation.”

”…”

For this news.

Kamuro-san looked at Kushida who was being mysterious in the corner, girl remained calm, still little angel with a cute smile.

Sakayanagi also looked at her with two big purple crystals, ”Kushida-san, don’t you have anything to say?”

Nothing to say?

”(⩌_⩌)” Kushida-chan herself asked Horikita about this topic on her first day in Class C at night.

Ask Horikita about her feelings for Hikigaya.

At the time, response was that Horikita might be a little shaken, but most of the tasks were probably assigned by her brother.

However, it cannot be ruled out that she may have a crush on Hikigaya.

After all, Horikita Suzune has been single since elementary school, and finally there is someone who can stay with her.

It’s the opposite sex, which is a very unusual signal.

Horikita Suzune should have had some feelings for Hikigaya, but she didn’t realize it.

This was Kushida’s conclusion after a lot of thoughts went into her head, ”I specifically talked to Horikita Suzune about this. Then I told her that according to statistics, only 10-15% of high school romances are successful, and most break up after graduation. At the same time, both parties may suffer a decline in academic performance because of dating.”

’So, you are using your method to prevent Horikita-san from dating during her school years. You are such a bad person, Kushida-san.’ Sakayanagi discovered that blondie seemed to be particularly concerned about Hikigaya.

One thing Kamuro-san understands here clearly, all these girls are selfish.

But for Sakayanagi it’s a little strange.

’That is, Kushida-san discovered Horikita-san’s affection for Hikigaya-kun and began to interfere. It seems that she didn’t take me, the most suitable candidate for Hikigaya-kun, seriously at all. She even reported to me about other girls’ feelings towards him. Why? Aren’t you worried about aiding the enemy? Or rather. Am I, Sakayanagi Arisu, underestimated by Kushida-san?’

Poink! Wobble~

Slap! Sla---!

”Fu---ahh! H-Haruk--Please don’t.. don’t touch th--Ohh!”

”Really? I thought the difference wasn’t that big...when we did a video call last time...”

Restricted content! Blew~~!

”Oye you two, there are children he--”

”Teehe~ Gomen---”

Other side.

After leaving Sudo, Hachiman returned to the lounge on first floor.

It is very large, and you can see that Kito goes straight to magazine area.

There is a reading area.

You can rest there or read a book.

Because this is off-campus and it is a hotel, many magazines and books prepared by hotel are aimed at ordinary people.

There are many fashion ones among them.

Hachiman took a peek earlier, and it mostly introduces clothing styles and designs for different cultures.

After taking care of his personal hygiene every day, Kito would read magazines for two hours and then return to his room when the lights were turned off.

This is a very hardworking performance.

It can be seen that he is working hard to pursue his ideal.

Hikigaya-kun does not reject such hard-working people, but it is a pity because this world is neither right nor kind.

If ideals were so easy to achieve, they would not be called ideals.

While holding this thought.

Hikigaya-kun was sitting on a bench in the rest area, with a cup of bottled coffee on his table.

”What a surprise. You would call me out on purpose.”

After a while, someone came.

The other person sat across from Hikigaya-kun. This is a girl who gets a lot of attention.

She has beautiful straight black hair and piercing fox eyes which are extremely expressive in terms of showing her true feelings.

”There was a little incident at the ski resort today, so I just want to see how you’re doing. Because weren’t you also there at that time?”

Actually, sitting opposite Horikita, Hachiman felt a little strange.

Because she wasn’t wearing the ordinary yukata that she wore at the inn where she rejected Hashimoto across the corridor.



Instead, Horikita changed into her casual clothes: a light creamy white and round-neck striped t-shirt.

The lower body is a pleated skirt and black over-the-knee socks.

He always feels that she seems to be more beautiful now.
