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

"Speaking of," After all, it was his mother's hard work and kindness.

Hachiman did not reject him immediately, but decided to try to change the subject like Kushida-san, "I didn't expect that Koenji would agree to attend this party?”

Koenji Rokusuke.

This guy is just cheating in life, both academic and physical fitness are upgraded to the max level without eating any power stones.

If Sudo's ability is a plug-in, then Koenji...well, he can be called a real monster in disguise of a human.

Very perverted.

However, Koenji's nature is also quite depressing to other people's eyes, very fond of playing with himself, and the moment someone came near his seat.....he directly slid the chair away in revulsion.

And, Hachiman felt that, this weirdo, who was excellent in all aspects, must have offended the interviewer, and then assigned to Class D.

"Hirata, I think it's better to pay attention to him at this time." Hachiman's eyes turned over to look at this incredible scene, "Because he's ordering some pretty expensive drinks....but your budget?" After saying this, he paused.

Because, there's no need to explain any further, "Huh?" Hirata was stunned, then quickly turned his head, at the same direction.

He actually found a waiter standing next to Koenji, holding the drink machine and seemed to be....

'What the hell?!' Hirata usually finds that, Koenji didn't care about personal points.
　　
In about half a month, the 100,000 points given to him by the school was spent. 'In other words, Koenji-kun doesn’t mind buying expensive things.....

And that's the case now.
　　
"Hmm... the taste of this Sprite..."
　　
"I don't think it tastes beautiful like you mentioned. Bring me the expensive one....This one is too cheap, and doesn't suit my taste buds at all!”

"Sir, can I ask for Butterbeer, 30,000, a bottle?" The staff recorded his request.
　　
"30,000? It's quite despicable. Get two more containers!”

“.....” Hirata. 'C-containers??!'

You must know that this celebration banquet is shared by everyone.
　　
'Then in terms of ordering services, we have already made a budget...

And now, if Koenji is allowed to order things that can wipe out...then the number of private points shared by each will increase.

'It will cause a riot among the other students!' Hirata did not want to see this situation.
　　
So, he quickly went to stabilize this prodigal son of bitch, which may force their whole class to pay the charged bill for several months.

________________
　　
In this way, the banquet lasted for 2 hours, and the final share was 6,000 points per student.

It's already two day's worth of food.

Only, if that Butterbeer that Koenji had already gotten away with, could be returned.... then the burden on each student would be much less.
　　
But from this perspective, it was confirmed that, he may have been born in a wealthy family.
　　
'Don't even frown when it comes to money.....' Very casual.
　　
However, Hachiman had another appointment after this.

The people he was going to meet were old friends, Ichinose and Kanzaki Ryuji from Class B.

But this time, Hachiman did not bring his girls with him, because it was Ichinose who transferred the invitation.
　　
There was no mention of both Kushida and Horikita.
　　
In the end, he thought Ichinose wanted to ask him out alone, but just as Hachiman sat down at the coffee shop, he saw the trap door being pushed open.... then two people walked in.
　
Boys are handsome and girls are beautiful.

It is standard for the people born in Class B, but in addition to Ichinose, her staff offic-

"We have all seen the results of this exam." Kanzaki didn't let the boy finish his thoughts, and started bowing his head in a respectful way, looking quite elegant, “Hikigaya, thank you very much. This time, we, Class B, owe you a favor!”
　　

'Although Kanzaki is brought
here...it seems like I am going to receive a free present!' Then, Hachiman looked at the girl standing beside him, with an expectant look on his face.
　　

Because, Kanzaki's words meant that he already knew that it was Hachiman who gave the papers away.
　　
'So, are you the one, who leaked this private matter, Ichinose-san?!'

Previously, Class B was approached by the second-year representative Nagumo-senpai, and he even wanted to gain favor with Ichinose, through illegal operations.

But, there were chances of being washed.... that's why Kanzaki advised to decline this offer....but, Ichinose wanted to achieve good results in this exam. 'As a result, Hikigaya-kun came to help....'
　　
Then, there is no need to fall into the assumption of whether the predecessor..... is throwing an olive branch or poison!

And this is enough for Ichinose and the others to owe Hachiman a favor.
　　
However, compared to Ichinose-san's leaked news, the other party felt that....she just wanted to let Kanzaki understand that Hachiman had worked hard on this matter.

Before, when they came into contact with Nagumo-senpai.... Ichinose became an evil-eye, and did not reveal the news about the paper.
　　
As a result, Hachiman was still willing to share it with them.....'It is equivalent to being more noble. That's why I also feel guilty....'

These were Kanzaki's thoughts about the mid-terms. But, from this perspective, Ichinose is really an.... Archangel sent from the Silver city.

But,  "Hikigaya-kun!” When the two parties were about to leave, Ichinose suddenly said. "Can I waste your time?"

'Huh?....Is there anything else that Ichinose wants? But, I don't have anything to give her.....'
　　
Even though, Hachiman was confused, and didn't understand how she was going to trash his time.

He still left with her, but the place  Ichinose chose was......Um? What's going on?'

Because she brought Hachiman to the downstairs of the special teaching building.

As for this location, there are no cameras, and very few people come here...... It's the best zone to receive some guilty pleasure...... Hachiman has already been witnessed to a couple engaging in sexual act near the dustbin.

“.....” Hachiman. He noticed that, Ichinose is now in the shadow of the side building.

She has beautiful long pink-blond hair, but the expression on her face.....makes people feel as if she is worried about something terrible.

'Is it that..... so-called excitement of being find out....

“I've obviously troubled you before, and even owe you a favor.....

“.....” Hachiman. 'Then....does that mean, I am going to be.... blowed here? No longer a virgin?' He stared at Ichinose's back, who still hasn't turned around.

She didn't take much time, and after compiling her thoughts, directly turned around in a swift manner.....jiggle.... Hachiman stared at Ichinose's front, it's like copying the entire thing into his brain.

“But, this time, I am also troubled. So,
can you help me, Hikigaya-kun?"

'Can you satisfy me, Hikigaya-kun?' As she said this, Ichinose began to look at him with her moist eyes, trying to be cute at purpose.

'Can you satisfy me, Hikigaya-kun?!' Only the boy in question......Um, his mind seems to have crashed, and started repeating those devilish words.

Hachiman slightly blinked his eyes, and then put the right hand on his cheek, and....

Slap!

“Aaahhh!” Ichinose yelled in extreme shock, because of this sudden movement, “Hikigaya-kun!!” Then she snapped out from her own little world, and looked at the boy in front   of her with worries eyes.

She took a few steps further, to check up on the other party if he's feeling okay?

Only, Hachiman put his other palm forward, and waved slightly, “It's okay.....there was a fly that's been annoying me for a while,” he assured the tensed girl, then showed his right palm forward.....

“.....” Ichinose. 'Um, where's the dead body?' There was nothing on his palm, not even a single ounce of blood.

'Her lipstick is also quite erotic today.....'

“.....” Hachiman. Looks very kissable, he shook his head to get rid of these naughty thoughts, it's not the time to think about such things.
　　
"If I can help, maybe I will." Although it was Ichinose's request, he did not accept it outright.
　　
Used words like maybe I'll help...if there's more....
　
"Actually..." Then Ichinose looked around frantically, her eyes didn't dare to meet Hachiman's. Then it was as if she mustered up the courage.
　　
"Hikigaya-kun, I am here to confess my love to you... then...'
　　
“....” Hachiman. 'How the fuck would I know if this succubus is lying?!' His eyes immediately widened in utter disbelief, as if he couldn't believe this reality, and looked at the girl with beautiful pink-blond hair.
　　
The girls in ANHS are very good-looking, and according to standards, if I really want to rank them, Sakayanagi may be the cutest in the school, while Karuizawa is stealing the runner's up position.

But if I look at beauty, then both Sakura and Horikita, can be at the top of the list.

Only, this girl named, Ichinose is also at the same level.

Rather, because of her personality, Honami Ichinose, may be the most popular girl in the 1st grade.
　　
'And now, is the most beautiful girl in the grade, the person who everyone calls the Archangel.....is actually going to confess her love to me?!' This kind of thing...
　　
"It will be over soon.”

"I..."
　　
"I might be confessed here!”

So that's the damn case. 'If you want to be confessed.....then don't say such misleading words, you fool?! Hachiman wanted to slap, this girl right there, knock some polite manners into this vixen.
　
Because they came to such a hidden place and then she said something similar to a confession, and for a moment..... Hachiman felt like he was going to lose something in his heart!

After all. 'This is the confession of the most beautiful girl in the school. Anyone... would find it difficult to resist.' Moreover, there are quite a lot of points.
　　
I helped Class B twice, and then allowed her to avoid the attack of second-year Nagumo-senpai, and then if Ichinose accumulated some kind of deep feelings...
　　
Hachiman felt like he was almost shaken. 'Gentle girls are indeed the easiest to be distorted!'
　　
“The reason why you came to me
is..... you don't want to accept the confession?” 'This love story ended before it even had the chance to be named!'

Hachiman's mind is extremely clear now, and quickly analyzed the reason why Ichinose decided to invite him over.
　　
Very beautiful, good personality, and quite gentle. There should be lots of people who like her as a member of the opposite sex.

'But, Ichinose should also be very skilled in being confessed, right?'
　　
'Then, she can obviously reject them without breaking their hearts too much.....Only someone still needs to step in....' That is to say.
　　
"Is it a confession that cannot be refused?"
　　
"Or..."
　　
"Is the identity of the person confessing unique?"
　　
"Or..."

Hachiman started throwing his questions in combos, not giving the girl a single moment to respond, “You want to refuse, but still want to continue being friends?"

“Meow meow!" But Ichinose made a sound of surprise that he didn't understand.

"Hikigaya-kun....You really have a lot on your mind!" She decided to interrupt because it was getting late, and the boy whose help Ichinose wanted didn't seem to stop any second,"Actually..."
　　
"The object of my confession this time is indeed different,” She said this weakly, and then took out a pink love letter.
　　
.....Seal had a heart pattern on it, and the envelope was also slightly decorated.
　　
'Only the bitter fragrance of love can make teenagers with strong youth hormones spend time....doing this kind of thing.....'

"But I don't want to develop a relationship, and this person is also very timid.....So, I want to refuse without hurting....."

It's really difficult, even though Ichinose must have a lot of experience rejecting people.... but now she needs to be more cautious.
　　
When facing boys, although being gentle, one should also know that long-term pain is not as good as the short one.

"Is it Kanzaki?" Hachiman asked, lowering his voice, it seems he still wanted to save the other party's face.
　　
"Eh?!" But Ichinose was a little surprised, as if she didn't understand why Kanzaki-kun's name suddenly appeared. 'How is this possible? It's obviously Chihiro-chan whose heart's going to be shattered in pieces?!'

Only, the boy already made another small whisper, "So... is it really a girl?"
　　
"Hey!" She couldn't help but gasp out loud, Ichinose was really startled by the correct guess. 'Is Hikigaya-kun an esper?!

And by looking at her face, Hachiman realised, it had already paled quite a bit,
　　
"Why, why, why do you think it's... a girl?!” It looks like Ichinose still wanted to argue, and conceal their identity or something.....So, she tried to interrogate the boy in front of her.

Even though her voice sounded quite fierce..... her body was fidgeting all over. As a human observer, Hachiman already made a conclusion.

"Ichinose, there's no need for you to pretend any further......your acting skills are terrible.... Because, if it was a boy, then you wouldn't be so troubled,” After passing a comment like that, which seemed to make her cheeks slightly red, Hachiman decided to reveal some dark truths of his own past, making this buffoon understand the seriousness of this issue.

"And although it's not a good thing to say but....we, boys have a stronger tolerance..... After being rejected once, they will be sad and disappointed for a while..... but it doesn't mean we can't get over it!" These inferences were false.

If his confession was rejected, Hachiman thought he would definitely find a hole to crawl in.

'And then I will have to meet her every day.... it's just like rubbing salt on the old wounds!' How the boy would ever make a comeback after this?
　　
'Therefore, I will never express my love to anyone again...! Because, once the confession is given, it may be regarded as a joke by the entire class.

This kind of thing.....Hachiman didn't want to experience it again.

"Actually, it's Chihiro-chan!” Ichinose realised, she couldn't hide this gossip any longer, and there's no need to deliberately waste more time like this.

"The girl I usually play with, I thought she regarded me as a big sister, but...for some reason, Chihiro-chan wrote me this letter yesterday. Then mutually agreed to meet here and confess our love!" She directly betrayed her friend, by exposing their face, causing Hachiman to change her evaluation in his mind, of being a Canary mouth. (Double-crosser).
　　
But, then she showed a troubled expression...... Ichinose just looked quite pitiful, that make people want to hug her.

“.....” Hachiman. 'This girl.....are you so good at using these cute traps?'

Sakayanagi is very ruthless, if she was thrown into this kind of problem.....she may directly throw that girl out into the Pacific.

But Ichinose has no such thoughts towards this Chihiro person.
　　
They are friends and usually play together, but the other person has such perverted thoughts about her....wants to hide inside her undies.

However, Ichinose still didn't want to destroy her heart.....I somewhat understand her distress.
　　
"Wait a moment,” After saying this, Hachiman distanced himself from Ichinose, and called up his seat mate Horikita Suzune's contact info.
　　
“Memory Test.

Chihiro Shiranami from Class B of the 1st grade. Do you have any information about this girl?" He began to type such messages quickly.
　　
“.....” But there was no reply from Horikita-san.

'She's really volatile....maybe Kushida's complaints are right about being overworked?' But, Hachiman still typed the same message to this abused person.

Kushida-san, on the other hand, might have been alone in the room, so she quickly responded.
　　
Because there's no issue about being her original self, she didn't try to hide anything.
　　
And this is her reply.
　　
[Chihiro Shiranami? That girl who is often with Ichinose-san? She is as timid as a little bird, just like Sakura-san.....But don't judge her based on this face, I am pretty sure she's a lesbian, who often glare at other boys who use her love interest as an eye candy?!]
　　
'Kushida's network really awesome!' Hachiman's previous data of this angel being unreliable....has been greatly reduced after these past few weeks.
　　
Or...Kushida's external personality is the same as that of Ichinose, just like a little sun, very popular.
　　
If she can be welcomed by the opposite sex.....then, may also be liked as more than just a friend....

'So, Kushida, you have also experienced it...treating someone as a friend, only to find out....she was removing your clothes the whole time...

[But why did you suddenly ask this? Did you witness her confession?! ] By Kushida-san.

Although she has a low IQ... the ability to make a judgement at critical times is quite surprising.

EMI looks pretty high, but unfortunately, the show hasn't started yet.
　
Hachiman then put away his phone and looked at Ichinose, who was very busy peeping in his direction quietly the whole time, but when saw the boy coming back, she immediately turned her head away and started whistling.

Even though, he thought that her weird actions looked suspicious, Hachiman didn't put much thought into it, and started to give his stance on this matter, “I can help with this...
　　

"Ichinose, what you want is... to pretend that you have a boyfriend, right? That I will cooperate and make her quit." He asked politely, first wanting to make sure his thoughts were correct.
　　
"That's pretty much what it means,” Ichinose nodded her head cutely, and her brows also looked quite relaxed, after seeing him understanding her request clearly, “It's easy for my classmates to turn against each other, but if I choose an outsider...It will be easier for Chihiro-chan to get over.”

“So. Please, Hikigaya-kun, be my boyfriend!” Ichinose said this with heavy emotions and almost bowed her head, which made the person on the receiving side feel a little flattered.
　　
“.....” Himeno Yuki, this girl went out to have some privacy, and smoke. 'I should change the location today....'

____________

It is true that this method.... makes people retreat from lost cause.

According to the information obtained, this girl Shiranami has a timid personality....so it would be hard for her to steal someone, who's already committed to another boy.

'But, Ichinose, didn't you hear that famous song?

'When you tell One Lie?'
