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

Two days have passed since when the results of a special exam creeped over Ryuen's girly heart.

Even school did not make any noise in and restrain people to keep silent over the matter.

It seems that the remaining few days are really just a promised reward for us students to continue luxurious trip.

Until the 3rd day.

“- -” At this moment, Hachiman is passing his day in a KFC store.

He originally asked Suzune to go out with him, but she seemed to be veg busy reading a book and not interested in spicy wings.

Obviously refused.

Various services are provided on the ship, and there are also expensive restaurants for food, but of course, all are free.

And, Hachiman is currently eating spicy wings.

“Do you really like that oily stuff?!”

A girl with a single blond ponytail across the table disagrees with his food choice.

“Everyone can have their own hobbies, right?” Hachiman didn't take complaints to heart, just replied with a normal shrug.

“No, I just think you are easy to support!” But Karuizawa shook her head rapidly, looking down furiously at the half-eaten cup.

Because what Hikigaya-kun likes is not available in ordinary families.

If you like these, just order takeout, no need to cook at all!

Reduced housework time.

“Ahem...” Probably because he heard the sensitive words, Hachiman quickly spoke for himself, “Look, I hope that someone is willing to support me.....It would be great if the other person also thinks that I am easy to care for, right?”

And perhaps because he felt that Karuizawa's eyes were a little shocked after hearing this.

“I'm asking you out this time to inform that I will give you 12,000 private points every month from now on. This is the benefit I got from Class B in the last exam."

“Uh... I actually didn't help much.” Karuizawa felt like she was being led astray, so waved her hand quickly.

“At least there is hope for you. Besides, as saying goes, only money can drive you, right?”

'It always feels like you don’t just want to go to Class A, but want to start a vault of your money!'
Although she was really thinking about it, Karuizawa didn't say it out loud.

Only, a broadcast sounded on the ship, and the voice of Class A's homeroom teacher Mashima Tomoya came from inside.

He also declared the rules before landing on the Deserted island plus not forgetting results.

Students are obviously familiar with his voice.

“This is to inform.

School has just sent an email on the contact information to all students. Please check your mobile phone and follow its instructions!”

“Also, if you have not received the email, please apply to the nearest faculty member. Since the content is very important, please do not miss anything.

I am not going to repeat twice for Class C──”

“Hey, this is very offending!” Even if Karuizawa felt like she was being attacked, but Hachiman had already taken out his cell phone.

[The special examination is about to begin.

Ask students to assemble in their designated rooms on Time. Those who are more than 10 minutes late will be caned. ]

[Please gather in room 204 on the second floor before six o'clock tonight.

It takes about 20 minutes. Please come to the meeting point after using restroom and not bringing your mobile phone with you.

Or Just turn off the power of your device. ]

Looking at the email sent by the school, Hachiman was being thoughtful.

He had already deduced there must be another exam.

'Since the time and place are unique, it only means, exams are separate for everyone! If that's the case, a written test or something like that is definitely removed....'

There would be no need to go for such trouble of sending messages, just gather everyone together.

But since people are separated, there is only one possibility.

'In addition to enemy classes, I'm afraid....I will also have to be wary of people in my own.' And, Hachiman knows his class very well, there are not even ten people available to fight.

“Jingle Bell!”

At this time, phone suddenly rang, and even Hachiman quickly used his thumb to press the call.

“Hachiman!” Suzune's alarming voice came from the microphone, “Have you received any emails from the school?!”

“Got it, what time are you going? Also, your room number?”

“Eight forty in the evening. Room number is 204 on 2nd floor."

“I am at 6 o'clock in the evening, but my room is same as yours....” While Hachiman was on the phone like this, he looked at Karuizawa, girl obediently put up her phone.

The information she got was the same as Hachiman's, which was to meet in room 204 on the second floor at 6 o'clock in the evening.

He and Karuizawa had the same data, which meant they were adopted in the same batch.

The room where Suzune wanted to gather was also 204 on the second floor, but her time was pushed to 8:40.

Hachiman frowned, eight forty.

From six o'clock to eight forty, there was an interval of 2 hours and 40 minutes.

160.

'According to the email from school, each group will take 20 minutes....'

Then, it can be divided into at least eight parts.

People of the same class gather in the same room but are ordered to gather at different....

School wants to separate classes. This is really not a good news!

'Because once the students in my class are allowed to express themselves freely, it only means to commit suicide!'

“Damn it, contact Kushida!” Hachiman felt like he was going to break out in a cold swear, dealing with these people, “And Karuizawa, please ask in the class group to collect everyone's gathering time and room number in the evening!”

“....Karuizawa, is she with you?” But Suzune's cold voice suddenly came from the phone, giving him a little more reason to frown.

???

“....I just had dinner with her, what happened?”

“.....” Suzune for some reason felt her lips twitch, “Nothing!”

So, people from both sides started working.

Having just won a battle, students in the class were pretty confused about taking exam again.

Even a little worried.

'When I open the class group, there are people discussing whether points will be deducted for this exam....'

This is a good thing.

Because own interests are involved, these random girls of class are not so difficult to deal with.

Even boys who threatened Hachiman to purchase manga, were basically unable to dedicate themselves to everyone, but if their own interests are harmed, then may become obedient.

Information regarding the slot was collected after 10 minutes.

The Students in Class C were divided into twelve groups.

.....The ones he looked at were different times Room 204 on the second floor.

Messages were also sent back from Ichinose.

Their classes are similar, and even time schedule was divided into different periods.

Similar to Hachiman's class. But the rooms assigned were different.

First it was true for one class, but now even Class B is....

'....Maybe school is planning to divide first-year into 4 rooms and conduct assessments at different times.' Putting down his phone, Hachiman looked at the girl across his table.

Karuizawa seems to have no interest in class battles. 'Don't panic when I am notified that a special exam is going to be held, because the statement is that you will be responsible for the exam, right? And you previously said you wouldn't let me drop out of school, right?'

Really calm way of life.

“What do you think of the exam, Karuizawa?” Hachiman decided to collect this free girl's opinion.

“Hmm~Me? I think it's a little strange.”

Karuizawa pursed her lips and whispered so that others nearby don't get her secret ideas, “Satsuki and Maya are not given same time as me. Got in the back, and even rooms are different. If that's case, people who are earlier can know in advance regarding the exam content?!”

“Ah.....” Hachiman just nodded his face stupidly, because Karuizawa was still very smart.

Indeed, slots of time period is different.

Those who know the content of the exam in advance can prepare.

Tonight's announcement may not be about the exam, but simply about rules.

'....And, since it was a notification rule, there may be something which needs attention.' Hachiman glanced at the black lines on his phone.

[Please gather in room 204 on the second floor before six o'clock tonight.

It takes about twenty minutes.

Please come to the meeting point after using the restroom and not bringing your mobile phone with you.

Or Just turn off the power of your device. ]

Cell phones are not allowed.

'....Then, okay to bring Sakura's pink digital camera?'

Cruise ship has 9 floors in total, five above deck and four below.

On above, the 1st floor is the lounge and banquet hall, which are given for public places.

The second to fifth floors are just guest rooms.

Boys live on the 3rd floor, while girls use 4th.

Talk about, Chabashira-sensei, she lives on the 2nd floor.

On the 5th are deluxe rooms, which are most high-end ones.

Despite this arrangement, no restriction on boys of not being able to enter the girls' floor.

3 floors below are filled with various entertainment facilities.

Such as cinemas, opera houses, etc.

The 4th underground is the power distribution room, which is usually only visited by staff.

“Boom!”

At 5:58 in the evening, Hachiman came to second floor and knocked on the door of room 204.

“Please come in.” Even a response quickly thrown back.

“Okay....”

Pushing the door open, Hachiman's first view was a young man in black leather suit relaxing on a chair facing.... directly at his forehead.

Head Teacher of Class A, Mashima.

A stack of paper was discarded on the table in front of him, probably the materials for this exam.

Stepping in, he noticed people in this batch have arrived.

Two boys and one girl.

Past acquaintances.

Boys - Sotomura, Yukimura.

Girl - Karuizawa Kei.

Judging from the data obtained from Group A's squad leader, Kushida.

The 40 students in Class C were divided into 12 time periods to visit room 204.

At 6 o'clock, only four of them were invited.
