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

“That’s it, follow me!”

Yahiko was really startled, when Katsuragi looked at the jungle in the distance, gave a low howl and ran away first.

”Hey, wait for me, Master!” Seeing this, Yahiko also hurriedly chased after him, tail wagging on his back.

Although, he doesn’t know what Katsuragi is going to do, Yahiko just want to give his support.....

Moving forward, they encountered two strongholds along the way, only both occupied by Class C.

But, Katsuragi didn’t give a fuck anymore, when glanced at those cursed devices, he only increased the speed, keep moving forward.

’Don’t waver, Katsuragi! Don’t waver at all!’

”Wow!”

Pushing aside the dense leaves, Yahiko’s face suddenly expressed joy, “Master, look here, I found it again!”

When Katsuragi heard this, directly marched over. And, sure enough, there was a machine buried in front of Yahiko.

Moreover, the information displayed above - Not occupied.

’I-I won? I really won?! Holy crap!’ This is a new stronghold that hasn’t been marked yet!

“I am going to swipe!”

“NO! Sit. Down.” However, Katsuragi did not want to rush, and use the card.

Instead, he pulled Yahiko back, and hid behind the dark bushes.

”Wh...hmmm”

Yahiko even tried to shout in confusion, but Katsuragi immediately blocked this dog’s mouth, and held in his arms.

His narrowed eyes sternly warned him, not to make a peep.

”Uh-huh!” Yahiko had no choice but to nod frantically, and show that he understood. ’Of course, I am a really good dog!’

However, he still doesn’t understand the meaning of Katsuragi’s actions.

Fortunately, they didn’t have to wait much long.

“Dhoom!”

In mid-air, a black shadow flashed past, and then jumped on the ground with a dull sound.

Behind the dark bushes, Katsuragi and Yahiko looked at the sudden appearance of this muscular blonde-haired....with surprised expressions.

“He actually flew here! Is this guy Superman?!” Yahiko’s face looked very horrified, his eyes full of disbelief.

He never thought... a real Kryptonian, would actually appear in COTE’s Universe.

The other party, even actually looked familiar to Clar-, Yahiko then rubbed his eyes, stared again, a person who was only using trees and thick branches as support to wander in the forest.

Even though, it wasn’t a Kryptonian......but still using trees to fly around!

No wonder, they couldn’t catch up with each other.

This kind of speed is just....Yahiko didn’t even last for much Volumes in canon....

Not being able to survive this long....

“Isn’t he tired?” he muttered quietly, even spat a little on Katsuragi’s palm, making it wet.

From the outsider’s point of view, it’s like Yahiko has now started licking....

Only, he’s right....both rested 3 or 4 times while moving on their feet.

But, this monkey just relied on his two arms to support his entire body, that is even more tiring compared to walking on his feet.

An ordinary person or, let alone a monkey wandering around in the jungle, can’t hold on for more than 2 minutes just by raising his arms.

”Um...?” The Unknown blond man, suddenly turned around and glanced in the direction of Katsuragi and Yahiko, very suspicious.

But, Katsuragi also reacted quickly and pushed Yahiko down even further, almost ended up rubbing his nose on the dirt.

However, this genetic mutant of Professor Jean Grey, did not give up, but walked directly towards Yahiko and the others.

“Flush!” Then used force, to open a dark green bush, his nose sniffing those prey.

“What a horrible scent....” Even though, nothing could be found.

His nasal cavity picked up a bad odour, muttered to himself, even frowning a bit, then just turned in the direction of the machine.

Only, behind another green cover,  less than 1 meter away from him, Katsuragi looked really frightened, and then quietly poked his head out.

He saw this weird guy, taking out the leader card.... and swipe on the machine?

“Ding!“ There was a soft voice, and the extremely large display screen changed.

After nodding with satisfaction, he just climbed up the tree like a nimble monkey, and disappeared into his  forest in an instant.

Katsuragi, however, took Yahiko out from behind the shrubs and looked at the machine....with very big  eyes...1...2...3....4.... directly confirmed numerous times, not a joke, right?

“Do you see clearly?” he asked, while looking at the machine.

“Indeed, Master...” Yahiko swallowed a previous lump inside his throat, then opened his mouth to answer Katsuragi’s question, “That’s Koenji Rokusuke from Class C....”

“He just swiped a card”

“The Leader card.... only used by the champion, so he must be the lone wolf of Class C!”

“You are so fucking Great, Master Katsuragi-san!” Yahiko was so excited that he almost jumped on his back, original gloomy look was swept away.

He was even feeling a little proud inside.

’Even, if Class C is just far ahead, so what? Don’t be too bold!’

As long as the Identity of your team leader is guessed by other classes, effort will just be regarded as useless.

No matter, how many strongholds you occupy or bonus points you get!

“Let’s go back...” A relaxed smile, now appeared on Katsuragi’s originally serious face.

’Every past failure doesn’t matter anymore, no matter how many strongholds Class C occupies, I will not be moved by it.....’

None of this can affect Katsuragi’s heart anymore.

’Because, I have now captured the lifeblood of Class C....’

“In addition..” Katsuragi took only a few steps and stopped. He turned around, then just walked towards Yahiko.

Gave a serious warning, to stop his licking behaviour, “Don’t tell anyone about this matter!”

“It’s not that.... I don’t trust the students of my class, but we have been in a state of utter defeat, and if I lose more points, those Npc’s will definitely force me to quit the position of Class A’s representative.”

“If Sakayanagi was allowed to reign, our class will be doomed!”

In other words, Katsuragi doesn’t trust people from Sakayanagi’s faction.

And, there are even very big

reasons.....just look at past chapters, how their hearts were being manipulated.

But, the question for Yahiko is, do you believe in Katsuragi’s power?

“Of course, I do!” Yahiko nodded immediately, with a gloating expression on his face, ”Let the group of defective products in Class C be happy for a few days!”

“But, when the results are declared, everything is going to be in vain!”

“As long as you understand....” Katsuragi breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Yahiko’s brain also started to degrade.

In this way, both Master and dog, kept discovery of Class C’s leader a secret, partly because they were just afraid of alerting others.

’At the same time, I was also a little annoyed....’

’Not only did Koenji mark all the strongholds, I recorded on the ship but also left us with a wasted trip and a huge loss of face....’

At the same time, it made Katsuragi feel so embarrassed, that he almost lost his pride.....very shameful.

’Class C, enjoy life of being a fool!’

After being tortured for so long, it was time for Katsuragi to turn over the bucket and let water flow.
