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

In this way, three of them giddily headed to the area of Grade 1 Class B.

Koenji occupied most of the strongholds, and Class B, like others, faces the dilemma of not being able to make a good stronghold.

But Ichinose and the others were smart, knew a base can be marked 3 times a day for 8 hours at a time.

So, they quietly waited for the said hours to end and occupied it.

'Yahoo, I got a stronghold in a vegetable field!'

When Hikigaya-kun just came.

It can be seen that compared to others, Class B is obviously much more harmonious.

Under the leadership of Ichinose, the camping area of Class B is quite lovely, boys doing heavy work, and girls just enjoying the day.

“They are worthy of being Class B!”

Even if they are determined to be promoted to Class A, will have to start a war with their alliance class, Class B, sooner or later, but now Suzune and Hachiman are feeling a little emotional when....yeah.

If they were given a class like this, Hachiman would not choose to fail.

And, Suzune also felt that she could lead others to be promoted to Class A.

Of course, this is just nonsense.

The models of Class B and C are quite similar at first glance.

But in fact, Class B is actually a democratic republic.

As for Class C, at best it’s called multi-party cooperation, at worst it’s warlords fighting and the people are in dire straits.

The class needs Kushida and Hirata to act as glue, is then persuaded by Hachiman and Suzune to follow some instructions.

But as long as their own interests are jeopardized, even if it is a small one, may betray Hikigaya-kun in a heart beat.

“Hikigaya-kun, Horikita-san, and Kikyo-chan~”

From a distance, Ichinose spotted the two workers of Hikigaya-kun, with a  smile on her face, waving and running towards the three uninvited guests. 'But, me and Kushida-chan are old friends, so I used her name directly...'

Kushida-chan felt like it was not much of a bad decision to go out with Hikigaya-kun.

Also started talking with a (*^▽^*) expression.

'....I hope to become friends with so many people.'

Her affinity is very strong and it is possible to achieve this goal, but she knows very well that Ichinose-san's powers are much stronger than hers.

'So, I previously used to think that being a good girl was my unique advantage, but when I came here, I realized that... I actually lost.'

Lost to Ichinose-san.

After discovering the arrival of the Hikigaya-kun's trio, in addition to Ichinose being so excited, Kanzaki also stood up, to make this girl in check.

'I usually follow Ichinose, looking very dull, but also relatively calm.'

But, Kanzaki-kun is very capable, got his life moto from Professor Ayanokoji. 'If you have the power, but don't use it, you are a fool.'

When Hachiman's class needed a top level guy to provide tutoring for poor students due to old questions exposed from the previous exam, Kanzaki took charge of Sudo.

It was difficult to deal with those academic idiots, but Kanzaki was able to persevere, and Sudo did grow in his studies and was already working very hard.

“I'm sorry that we occupied your  stronghold of the vegetable garden!” Ichinose came running towards the 3 of them, expressed her stance with both palms clasped in an apologetic manner, “But we really have nowhere to go!”

“If you didn't come this morning, I was just about to send a patch of vegetables to your class later!”

“I really swear, Hikigaya-kun!”

Look, people who are sociable tend to be very good at talking.

The stronghold they currently occupy was originally built by Koenji, and then everyone went to pick up vegetables.

But, our base got stolen by Ichinose and her greedy friends, everyone of Class C had nothing to fill their stomach with.

As a result, Ichinose herself said that she wanted to gift vegetables.

'.....Putting it this way, it's hard to find any fault with her.' Hachiman felt like this girl is just too good at playing with people's hearts.

“It would be great if we could exchange your juice for our sweet corn,” Just take a look, Suzune already decided to use her bargaining tactics.

“Uh-huh.” Seeing that people of Class C were not angry, Ichinose breathed a sigh of relief.

'My and Hikigaya-kun's class are allies, and logically speaking, we shouldn't occupy each other's resources.'

'So, I felt that what I did was a bit too much.
But now, luckily Hikigaya-kun and the others didn't take it seriously. Phew!'

“So, what's the matter with you all coming here?” Ichinose suddenly flashed her big eyes, put her small hands behind her back, and leaned forward slightly to close the distance.

“Well, there is something.”

Hachiman nodded slightly, he tried his best to look composed, when felt that Ichinose is doing this on purpose.

“Of course, there is also a survey mission. I want to see how much of your initial points have been used...”

“You're really honest,” Ichinose nodded slightly when she heard this.

In fact, she didn't know what to say about Hikigaya-kun's honesty.

Because he is just too straightforward, directly exploring our initial points?

Even though she knew they were here for investigation, Ichinose didn't react much to this proactive approach.

After all, in terms of materials, each class has a booklet issued by the school.

'....As long as Hikigaya-kun checks the equipment in my class, he can roughly estimate our expenses through the booklet.'

So, even if want to hide it, just can't.

“What did you buy?” Hachiman's dead eyes looked around and then just asked casually.

“• •” Suzune opened her mouth, but didn't say anything for a long time.

Hachiman has already said that he is here to make cash from Class B and use Ichinose-san as a long-term meal ticket.

So, the investigation is just an excuse.

'However, even if he tries to snoop around, how can there be someone like you?!'

Ask the other party directly, what is going on?

'Do you think Ichinose-san is really going to answer you?'

Kushida, on the other hand, just remained cute, has already gotten used to Hikigaya-kun's straight behavior.

Even unmoved.

It would be better to say that if he hadn't been a straight man and wanted to get promoted, then she would have developed as badly as Annie when Armin discovered her true identity.

Kushida felt like she had dodged a sword aimed at her throat.

Although Hikigaya-kun is very straight, don't you look down on Ichinose-san, who is also a very talkative girl.

“Hey, let me think about it!” She bit her index finger lightly, thought for a moment and then replied, “Got a hammock, a small tent, fishing rods, cooking utensils, and an outdoor shower, plus the food consumed, our total cost is Eighty points.”

Completely different from the lavish of their own.

When it comes for spending money, Class B will try to use cheaper ones.

For example, when it comes to showers, Karuizawa bought for....20 points. It looked more like a triple door refrigerator.

But Class B chose the outdoor shower, which was paired with a free small tent.

Equipped with a toilet provided by the school.

After all, as the name suggests, the outdoor shower has no cover, so a tent is needed instead to have privacy.

When it comes to housing, Class C, bought an eight-person tent without even thinking about it, and bought 2 more, just in case.

Matsushita even spent 20 points on soft cushions for comfort.

But, Class B decided on 2 hammocks.

It can be used as long as it is tied on 2 adjacent trees.

And over at the tent, Hachiman also noticed it was not hard either, but instead of buying mats, used the free toilet vinyl bags issued by the school.

Probably because they collected it in large numbers.

Because the cardboard toilet is free, the matching vinyl bags are too, Class B received a lot and used them as mats, saving money.

Really good at running a house.

Hachiman felt that Ichinose might also be someone he could learn from. '...Because my goal is to be a housewife, I also need to learn about running my future home.'

'Glance over the daily budget, save where I could. So, I must find time to learn from each other.'

"There's nothing we can do about it."

As she spoke, Ichinose was a little discouraged, “Although drinking water problems can be solved, after boiling it from the well. That I think, was previously used to grow the vegetables.....”

“But as for food, it is still difficult to rely on half an acre of vegetables here alone....Diet is single, and then we have to stay here for a week. Everyone's health may also be in jeopardy....So, I can only use points to exchange for some food as an alternative.....”

Being in a vegetable field, there is  water that you can drink from.

It's a good place to stay.

However, just relying on eating vegetables is not enough nutrition.

So, exchanging food is also a must.

As for this kind of expenses, even if you only eat two meals a day, you will need to spend at least 10 points /day.

In addition to the 80 points already spent, after the end of the week, Class B's expenses will be in addition to 150.

While saying this, Ichinose couldn't help but look at Hikigaya-kun and the others with some resentment inside her heart.
