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

It has a window, and you can feel the sea breeze immediately when you get closer, so it is very comfortable to be blown by the wind.

“If you want to be promoted to Class A, what do you mean-" Suzune already has some experience because she has been by his side.

“Horikita, it is true our target is Class A, we even have a good opportunity...But, I don't think simply giving our class 450 points is a good thing!”

Looking down from the glass window.

“Scores you can get by taking the best advantage in this exam looks great....But don't forget, the name of this exam is Cruise Ship VIP exam...Term 'VIP alone, I don't think it just refers to the 12 selected people....Result 1: As you all know, if according to rules of the exam, on last night, all members of group, except for VIP send a name of the recipient, then everyone can get reward of 500,000 points! Assuming a group of 12 people, then 12 groups can score a reward of 6.5 million yen! Isn't this a sign of being treated favorably?” Hachiman's eyes now were sparkling a bit, huge green dollar sign could be seen inside.

Or it could be just Kushida's wild imagination again.

“So, I'm thinking about whether this preferential treatment exam is saying we got an opportunity for us first-year students to legitimately get huge points from the school!”

“Can't even believe it..” Hikigaya-kun's proposal made Suzune and Kushida couldn't help but think about such a possibility.

Because, she herself didn't think about this aspect at all.

“That's why Ryuen-kun also said that he would join forces with us, and go to Result 1,” Suzune doesn't need any more information to know, she had already deducted her own conclusion now.

Ryuen made two conditions when he was in the dragon group.

As long as favored person's information is leaked to him, then he will not attack them.

It will also promote....

And doesn’t Result 1 mean that everyone gets a huge amount of points?

“It's difficult to achieve Result 1.”

“Eh?! Then what's the point of talking about it so much?!” Kushida is really started to get furious now.

“...Because others may not cooperate. Unless you are the only one at a disadvantage, you will have to do this. So if you can get information about the preferential treatment in other classes, it can be used as a deterrent weapon. But, we must do this, Lead the group to outcome 1!”

She has been allocated 90,000 yen a month for living expenses because of exam on the Deserted island.

Kushida is very happy, but she will definitely not refuse herself more money.

Especially, her dark history...can't be looked back on, and at the same time it triggered something like that, so before things calmed down and she came to this school, Kushida was actually grounded at home by her parents.

She is actually also thinking about her future.

Didn't even think that class would graduate as Class A, so her talk of moving into University of her choice without taking the exam or getting position that she wanted was just a white lie.

Only points count!

Hikigaya-kun previously asked her to contact seniors and get a piece of news from the 3rd-year.

Upon graduation, school will use cash to recover points in the hands of graduates in proportion.

If you can save enough points in this school, it means you have collected enough money.

And Money, money....money

This is goal of most people.

So, this is also for her future consideration.

“I think so too....” Hachiman didn't even hide anything, just said with a clear face, “But it's difficult. Because, even if we do achieve Outcome 1, what's the amount you get?”

“Huh? Did you forget, it was 500,000 points?!”

“.....This is so boring.”

“• ?”

“What on Merlin's balls is gone wrong inside you?!”

These words now make people feel a little angry.

Among the 3 preferential recipients in Class C, one is Kushida Kikyo.

So as long as her treater information is not leaked, she will definitely have 500,000 points in her account.

Being given preferential treatment.

And if the dragon group plays and result is 1, she will get another 500,000 points!

So, it's going to be a huge sum of money for her!

'And Hikigaya Hachiman, do you actually look down on 500,000 now? ....Yes, I sometimes see you having dinner with Sakayanagi-san from Class A, and even people who take orders from her like Hashimoto-kun....Even Kamuro-san asked regarding your love....but you are not at the point where you can just ignore 500,000 yen!' Kushida was now complaining like crazy in her heart.

“You don't like 500,000..." Even Suzune frowned slightly. If she could get 500,000 at once, it would actually be a good thing for her.

After exam on the island, Hachiman assigned her a share of 90,000 private points from Class B every month.

By the time you graduate, will receive a quota of approximately 3 million.

It already looks a huge sum of money.

And now we have to get another 500,000, seems to be one step closer to the goal.

Collect 20 million is what she wants!

Hachiman also said that he promised Chabashira-sensei of  leading class to be promoted to Rank A once....

Just one time.

And she doesn’t think her class is worthy enough to be in Class A, so it’s not impossible to fall off.

'If I can save 20 million to go to Class A, will also get my brother's approval?'

After all, something that no one in school had done yet.

Therefore, Suzune actually has the intention of collecting 20 million points. 'And now I just heard Hachiman say that since got named VIP test, 500,000 yen is obviously not enough to attract people immediately....'

He wants...more.

“If you just take Result 1, school will only give 500,000 points to each person and 1 million to those who receive VIP treatment....”

Kushida's eyes now getting darker by the second.

It can be said that 3 people in this room all want money.

“You want to get more, then can only take money from other students? But this kind of thing.....” Kushida understood a little bit what her boss was thinking.

There are 12 groups in total.

One group can get at least 6.5 million points from the school, and 12 groups can get over 80 million points.

And if one or two million points could be extracted from such a huge amount, wouldn't it be better than 500,000 per person?

This kind of thing is like pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth.

It's hard to do.

Because who will give you the points directly? The degree of difficulty is very high.

Maybe you can only think about it, but too difficult to actually operate.

“So, take your time! Horikita, you continue to deduce the rules, and Kushida you are going to he-”

“Boss, I don't th----”

“Although, I think very unlikely to deduce rules based on the information of just 3 preferential treatment recipients. But maybe it can be done? You can give it a try!”

“What about you?" Suzune asked crossing her arms, looking very doubtful about this boy's lack of work.

Even, Kushida looked at him at the same time.

“I'm not suitable for this kind of brain-intensive plan....”

“But, you obviously told me to help Horikita-san just now!”

“Yeah, but I think exam is a good opportunity for Horikita....”

“???” Kushida was getting even more ugly the longer Hachiman gets to open his mouth.

“Because you don't know yet, the person who came to deliver spare mobile phones in the morning was none other than President of the Student council!”

“P-President...?" This news was first time Suzune heard.

'Do you mean in other words, is my brother also on the ship?!' So, if Suzune can decipher the pattern, maybe she can get her brother to take a good look!

Her fighting spirit just increased a whole tenfold!

"??" Kushida, on the other hand, just looked at them curiously.

She always felt there was some important news, but she hadn't grasped it yet.

“I can promise you.”

“Are you going to reward me?”

“....If you can deduce the rules, I will operate and points will be divided into 5 million for each of you.”

“Bahhh! 5 M-m-million!”

“If you fail, 1.5 million will be given to each of you as appropriate, deadline is until the evening!”

Is this 1.5 million without cracking pattern? So, isn't just a waste of money?

You have to sharpen your head!

Then, Sakura just continued to stand guard, while Suzune and Kushida continued to work hard in the room.

"Bo-Hikigaya-Kun——" When Hachiman walked out of the room, Sakura was acting a little flustered, “W-well, those 2 students have been staring here!”

'....Have you been staring at Sakura?' Hachiman followed Airi's prompt and looked over, what he saw were two students from Class D.

One is Ishizaki Daichi and other is Albert.

They are all people around Ryuen.

When he saw him coming out, Ishizaki took out his cell phone and seemed to be sending a message.

It seems, Ryuen's side was probably worried that he would deduce the rules first, so he asked people to stay guard.

Seeing him move around, Ishizaki Daichi looked like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Actually, Hachiman doesn't think they need to be so nervous.

Because he deliberately confiscated Koenji's mobile phone as a backup plan, there was no need to participate in deriving rules of preferential treatment.

So, he went straight to theater.

That performs a play every 2 hours, and current one is the famous [Turandot].

It tells the love story of a stubborn princess.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the actor's unique high-pitched singing style.

Most of students on the ship are stuck in exams, so not many people come to theater to relax.

'....When I came and saw a very serious boy wearing glasses, I was immediately scared away!'

Student council president, Horikita Manabu is actually here!
