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

Hosen lost the bet, leadership of clas--

Wait a moment. Hosen suddenly felt something was wrong.

Then, saw the other party's message.

[I want leadership of this month's class battle. We have an agreement, and if you refuse, you know what will happen, Hosen.]

[The Student Council President has one chance to expel a student directly.] by Hikigaya Hachiman.

"Shit!" Hosen's mood suddenly turned sour.

"What? Are you dissatisfied with me?" However, Teacher Shiba-sensei looked over, no fluctuation in the other person's eyes.

"No...." But Hosen was very sensible. He understood that head teacher could beat him up.

But, he just couldn't accept it!

'The plan I just thought of to get 20 million for free is gone. And I no longer have authority to command the exam this time. So what am I going to do? Although after the 14-day exam you can enjoy on a luxury cruise ship. It's like going on vacation. I had never been on a luxury liner in my life. But, I always feel unhappy. Do I want to... continue planning 20 million yen plan to get rid of Ayanokoji? The test on uninhabited island lasts for 14 days, so the scope of operation is also increased. I might not be able to do it alone, but what if bring others along? If you want to have enough food and clothing, you still have to do it yourself....' Hosen opened the address book and called up a new name.

First grade, Class C, Utomiya Riku.

It can be said that after being informed of examination rules, first-year students are trying hard to understand in their own way and cope with.

But, for second graders. Hachiman's class is pretty easy.

Because he and Ryuen had already worked out a strategy.

Now both are just waiting until 8 o'clock when everyone will receive the prop cards sent by the school.

Good mood. During lunch break, Hachiman went to 3rd floor of the cafeteria.

Usually, Sakayanagi would be here.

She has a private dining room that has reserved for a long time.

"I don't remember asking you to come here today," When Hachiman arrived, Sakayanagi was already inside, but feeling very mad.

Today, Sakayanagi is wearing the same red uniform with a white shirt as everyone else.

But it's quite cute.

"Although you didn't invite me. But I came to invite you."

"....." Sakayanagi. 'Is there money raining outside? No, I don't think so!'

"Are you celebrating your promotion and feeling good?"

"That's not it. How should I put it? Didn't I ask you to get full marks in all subjects before, which was a bit rude? So I want to treat you. Celebrate that you have completed my request."

"Oh...." She made a dumb voice.

So that's it.

"Then Kamuro-san," Sakayanagi Arisu looked at her dog who was about to line up for food, "Today's bill will be charged to Hikigaya-kun's account."

"....." Kamuro-san. 'Is that so? Although you don't have to pay, you seem to be in a good mood. In the morning, because you failed to invite Koenji, expression became like (•︿•). So, Hikigaya Hachiman just treated you to a meal, and you feel better? This is too easy to deal with. Seriously, you can't do this, Sakayanagi!'

She rudely thought to herself.

"Then you will also treat me to a meal?" Kamuro-san looked at Hachiman, staring at him with her purple eyes.

"Of course," Hachiman nodded.

Only then was Kamuro-san satisfied.

She still remembered that Hikigaya Hachiman sold her test paper and then turned around to report it, causing her to lose 100,000 points.

So, she had to get it back!

Kamuro-san probably wanted to get back at him for making her queue up to buy food, so dishes she chose today were not the most delicious, but the most expensive.

But Hachiman doesn't care too much about these points.

After all, solid cash that can be obtained in this exam are much, much more than these.

When lunch was over, Hachiman did not leave, but even asked Kamuro-san to get some drinks.

"Do you have anything else to discuss with me?" Sakayanagi obviously noticed this. 'Normally, if it was my treat, Hikigaya-kun would just get a dessert and leave...Although he stopped having dessert after meals for a while, he added it back at the beginning of this semester.'

In this way, girl was indeed raising, pampering and milfing him.

"Yes, about this special exam. Are you interested in top three?"

Sakayanagi Arisu blinked softly, "If I'm not mistaken, you had already rented out Koenji-kun when exam rules were announced."

The reason why she used the word "rent" was because she had already learned from puppies that Hikigaya-kun did not come to second-year Class C today, but went directly to the D.

Then, not in same as Koenji.

But Hachiman kept smiling. In fact, he feels that Sakayanagi is as difficult as ever. 'Because she would say so. In other words, Sakayanagi Arisu probably also believes that as long as there is Koenji, number one is a good opportunity, and if he does, it's fixed. Unless, Ayanokoji interferes.....This exam is a joint assessment of 3 grades.

'However, no one who has experienced last year's island exam would dare to say that Koenji cannot get first place. The fact that Arisu Sakayanagi could say it all at once shows that she had also thought of the plan of bribing Koenji.....'

"About the same," Hachiman said honestly because he was facing an equally matched opponent, "I'm going to spend 10 million points to invite him."

"Ten million?" Sakayanagi listened to his showing off. '10 million is half of 20 million, and Hikigaya-kun is willing to pay 10 million, which means that he can get or want to secure at least five or six times what he would get from Koenji-kun in this exam... No, according to my understanding of Hikigaya-kun, it should be at least eight times! In other words, he wanted to eat his fill this time, so naturally he didn't want to take me on pirate ship with him.....'

Sakayanagi smiled, but her heart was already filled with an expression like (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻.

"So, since the first place has already been taken by Hikigaya-kun, why are you looking for me?"

"For first place, I plan to arrange for Albert from my class to team up with Koenji. This will also help Class D's pitiful score go up a bit. I promised them that since they are in my class, I can maintain a monthly living allowance of 50,000, so this is a good opportunity to raise it."

This means that Hachiman's goal is indeed to get first place, "But if you're in second or third place, I think you can give it a try, Sakayanagi....."

"....Hmm?" She looked over, clasping her palms together, "If we exclude Albert-kun and Koenji-kun, the one with the strongest physical strength among other students would be Sudo-kun from Class C. But he is only strong in terms of physical fitness. If we want to survive on an island, definitely can't just rely on him."

"Yes, So other classes still have a chance....."

In back words, people who are good at all-round performance are also suitable for island survival, "My class can arrange for Ryuen + Ishizaki. And when the exam comes, we can form a big team, and then our two classes will join together to take second or third place."

"But if it's a team of two classes, then final reward will also need to be divided equally according to the number of participating classes. The second place will only get 300 points, and the third place will get 150," Sakayanagi had taken everything into account, gave her plans.

"Just use the trial card for this point," But Hachiman again mentioned something very important, which she had ignored because of not being able to control large amount of students.

The class you hold can get a reward of 1.5 times the evaluation score.

However, there is a limit, you need to enter the top 30% of group score.

Since goal is to get second or third place, this restriction doesn't matter.

If both classes get the trial cards, then combination can bring the class a evaluation score of 105-225. It doesn't mean that you can just give it up.

At least it is necessary for Class A, because there is Ichinose chasing after them.

At the same time, if Class A does not get any points, then Koenji because they got the points, it may be possible for him to surpass Class A again.

In this way, people in Class C will get the position of A again.

As members of former Class A, they really have no shame left at all.

Although Hikigaya-kun didn't say it explicitly, Sakayanagi knew that she had no choice....Because if she didn't join forces with Class D, then in this exam, Class C would have moved up because of Koenji's score.

So, her Class A is going to fall again.

"I will arrange for Katsuragi-kun and Kito-kun to work with you," That's why, gave the order without any hesitation.

"You actually trust Katsuragi so much and entrust him with such an important task," Hachiman seemed a little surprised.

"Katsuragi-kun's performance is pretty satisfying overall. After joining council, he has become more helpful and gives opinions," Although she usually treat Katsuragi as a tool, it is undeniable that he is actually quite useful.

Katsuragi can work as a Staff in student council and she can arrange other party's development during the exams.

"Besides, Katsuragi-kun bought a lot of tickets from Ryuen-kun during the previous class voting to withdraw from school. It is said that he still owes Ryuen-kun a large sum of money....he doesn't want to be in debt after school." Sakayanagi seems quite considerate. 'I know that I should give the opportunity to Katsuragi-kun to pay off his debt....'

"I have no objection to this arrangement," Hachiman nodded, while his eyes waiting for Kamuro-san to bring over drinks.

"However, since our two classes are joining forces, aren't you going to take all the top three places?" But, just a moment later when Sakayanagi felt his attention divert, she opened her mouth and said very dangerous words.

'Should I say it's really her. When you get the chance you want to attack directly....'

"I think we should give up. After all, this is an exam for the whole grade, so we should let other years have some soup, right? We should be generous."

"That's right," Sakayanagi nodded slightly, thinking of another money-making plan of Hikigaya-kun.

"....." At this time, Kamuro-san had just bought some drinks, including a Latte, a cup of lemon juice, and a cup of coconut milk tea.

And then happened to hear Hikigaya's conversation.

??? 'There is only one spot left for first, second or third years, and you still say this is being generous? It's obvious that you have already finished dividing it up, okay!'

"And this. Sakayanagi, I hope that after today, you can help me buy first and second grade prop cards. Each of our two classes will receive a trial item card," There is no doubt about this.

If both classes want to get points, then naturally have to use trial cards to increase buffs, otherwise who will get enough points.

"Then there's Hitchhiking card, right? But I don't think I can agree to your request..."

This prop card is very unique.

Hitchhiking Card - Get an additional half of the personal points of the group you specified at beginning of the test. If that group is combined with your own, effect is eliminated.

Just now, Hachiman almost confirmed first-place group directly in the face.

As long as you have this card, you can bet on Koenji's group before exam.

Then when you obtain private point rewards, you can also get half.

So, this is Hikigaya's plan to make even more money. But Sakayanagi didn't want to miss this opportunity. 'After all, prop cards haven't been released yet, so I still have a chance to get them, right?!'

"I'll give you another business as compensation. Although the exam rules have not been announced yet, the effect of Lead card can be speculated. Basic material points are very useful, so you can start with this. For example, if the supplies can be exchanged for mineral water or other daily necessities. You can get these supply points through channels, and then buy them from school in one go. Then we sell it to people who need it. But the settlement is based on personal points. For example, a bottle of mineral water that requires 200 material points can be sold directly on the island for 1,000."

"....." Sakayanagi obviously wanted to complain, but she said nothing.

This was done by Ryuen's class during last year's island exam.

The result is agreement in Hachiman's hand, which is worth 300 points of class evaluation score for Class A, until end of 3rd year.

"But this kind of thing..." Although Kamuro-san was listening, she was a little surprised. Because wasn't the one who said this a super profiteer?

But Sakayanagi already understood. 'Hikigaya-kun is asking Class A to resell the supplies. This business is actually quite suitable for us. Because he wanted the students in his class to get first place, others had no way of taking the exam properly. Because when necessary, the entire class of students will go out to escort winning team in their class. But it's a waste to keep it on standby all the time, so it makes sense to sell supplies. Moreover, since the materials for the entire grade are being resold, final income will be quite considerable...you don't even want to leave penny!'

"Hikigaya-kun. I may not be able to agree to this condition because the reward is not generous enough."

Does that mean Sakayanagi is also quite greedy?
