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

Snort! Snort! Snort!

’I don’t like this girl!’ Kushida once again started doing her bad habit of cursing people inside.

”...My secret has been discovered by someone,” Kushida-chan was really caught, ”If no one helps me, I will drop out of school sooner or later....”

’Oh oh oh! So you were really doing bad things?’ Suzune then realized that Kushida was going to risk everything.

”Anyway, this is the condition I proposed. Horikita-san, you should cherish your current status in Class A. So if you don’t want this beautiful thing to be destroyed in an instant, agree to the bet with me. You know that I am very popular, and I have already mastered secrets of most of the students in class?”

”... Don’t you think your voice is too fast?”

”No, once these secrets are revealed, those faces will probably drop out of school immediately!” It was Kushida’s moment of silence now.

”....” Suzune. Although her relationship with the girls in class was very ordinary, and she had never even spoken to some of them, she knew the relationship between Kushida and others.

’Maybe she really does know these secrets. If there is a large number of dropouts, situation in the class will be very bad indeed.My brother’s opinion of me will also decline.’

He will probably say - ’And even though you got promoted to a higher grade, but can’t even control a classmate.’

I guess you haven’t grown much yet, Suzune.’

”I can promise you this bet,” After thinking about it, Suzune’s cold heart was starting to break out in a sweat, ”But who can guarantee that you can keep your promise after the result comes out?”

”hehe......” Kushida smiled. ”You dare to worry about me, but I worry that you won’t keep your word if you lose!”

”???” Suzune who didn’t even think she would ever lose.

”Just like you don’t believe me, I can’t believe you either. So, we just need to ask someone we both trust to testify, right?”

”Who?” Suzune didn’t know what else she could do, ”Is it Hachiman?”

”.....” Kushida. ’Do you really start to call him that? I was just teasing before!’

”Is Hikigaya-kun the only one you have? No, boss won’t suffice, he will probably be more on your side, just look at our difference in workload and payday. So he can’t be fair, right?”

”...what do you mean by that, Kushida-san?”

”Mmmf!” Kushida rubbed her nose a little, ”Don’t worry about it, just a bad habit after typing so many blogs in past. So, I chose another person that whole school would truly believe!”

”Who?” Suzune was just getting more puzzled by the time it went on.

Because who else would the whole school believe?

”Of course......” Kushida suddenly looked towards a corner hidden in the shadows and said, ”Student Council President, you can reveal your face now!”

After hearing this, Suzune looked over instantly.

It was not until then she realized there was another person standing opposite her!

The other party didn’t make any movement from beginning to end and just stood there from start.

But didn’t notice it at all.

And Suzune’s expression also became tense.



Because what Kushida said was right, now with a stern face and glasses, he looks like a wise man.

Isn’t he the Student Council President?

Fuck! Fuck! Fu----

”No need to worry,” As the top person in this school who values strength above all else, Horikita Manabu glanced at the two of them and said calmly, ”I will keep this secret. This is my code of conduct as the Student council president. Similarly, I will also be the fairness of the bet between the two of you. Whoever breaks it will be punished accordingly.” He glared at Suzune while his last words were uttered.

”I......”

Suzune opened her mouth, seeming to be in a cowardly state.

And Kushida also looked at her with a cloudy expression. ’Um.... whatever.’

’Horikita Manabu is the Student council president. I learned from senior that he is a person who can manage 39 people at the same time, very reliable and fair!

Horikita Suzune, you should accept my bet now! hehe~~~ you lost bitch!’

Kushida was turning bi-polar inside her crazy heart. ’Then I heard Horikita-san seem to be a little scared and then even screamed!’

”E-Elder brother--”

Kushida-chan who was slowly going dark angel, for a moment her ears were ringing. ’I wonder why Horikita Suzune calls the President ”brother”? Is this a new kind of scheme to make points, I wasn’t aware of?’

She was really confused.

”Suzune, I’m just a notary for now, you don’t need to be so nervo---”

”What the fuck?! Oops! Gomen Gomen! My tongue just slipped, Preside---” Kushida almost choked on her throat.

”You, Kushida,” Manabu almost laughed at this girl’s scared expression on her face.

”You don’t have to mind the brother-sister relationship between me and Suzune. At the same time, don’t worry, I won’t target you. Rather, I want you to train my useless sister. Although you have been enrolled for a while, I still have to say this school is not as simple as you imagine....”

”....Oh” Kushida just made a dumb noise in response.

Manabu didn’t think that Horikita Suzune has already defeated the first-year students and successfully reached the top of Class A.

However, were not achieved through her own efforts. Manabu knows this very well.

’Furthermore, from now on, Suzune’s opponents will no longer be limited to first-year students.I will be stepping down soon, and the next student council president, most likely Sakayanagi, will not be a pushover.If you are not careful, you will fall into the pit and be unable to turn over Suzune....’

”So, Kushida, you can trust me complete-----”

Gulp! Gulp!

”Ah...my throat was just going dry.”

”• •” Manabu.

”× ×” Suzune who got herself in a nightly daze.

”???” Kushida who just tried to drink some water from her bottle after talking for so long. ’why are people looking at me? Did I do something? I don’t think so....’

But Manabu followed his heart and did not hide his feelings, then said calmly, ”Suzune, you have interesting people in your class. This is a bet between you two. I will not participate. After all, if my reputation and image are ruined because of my sister, it will be very troublesome for me.”

Yes, as Student council president, Horikita Manabu has accumulated quite a lot of connections in this school.

Even many big shots have noticed his talent.

So, certain that he will have a bright future.

As for Suzune, he doesn’t mind if she fails once or twice.

These can all become experiences for her growth.

As for Kushida, although she was shocked to know the relationship between the Horikita siblings, she invited Manabu to be a witness, and now this guy is fulfilling his obligations.

Then she had no reason to refuse.

”I believe you,” Kushida put the water bottle behind her, and nodded like a serious girl she was.

”However, let’s change content of the bet. The total score of all subjects will be changed to math of this final exam as the basis. The winner will be determined by the scores of both parties. And if it was the same...” Kushida paused and looked at Suzune a bit expectantly.

She really wanted Suzune to say things like ”If scores are the same, I admit losing!”

But Suzune didn’t even mean to speak, so Kushida had to grit her teeth and continue, ”Then, bet is invalid. But I won’t give up. If it’s a tie, then we’ll continue in the next exam!”

”...yeah. Then, do we need to leave paper evidence or something?” Suzune was a bit down for now.

”No need, I trust you, Horikita-san!” Kushida shook her head and gave a genuine winky in girl’s direction.

??? Manabu, are these 2 friends?

In fact, Kushida’s mood has not calmed down yet.

She understood that Horikita Suzune was Sister of the President Horikita Manabu.

President Horikita, Horikita Suzune.

Why didn’t she think of that?

And she actually asked the student council president to act as a notary to prove that she was bullying his honest sister.

”.....” Kushida. ’Fuck me....I need to offer flowers, make amends!’

When Hachiman met a girl named Hiyori Shiina who came to the cinema, his phone suddenly received a bunch of spam messages.

Probably.

Ring! Ring! Ring!

[Boss, I’m done! I messed with the Student council president’s sister!]

[What to do? What to do? What to do]

[Fuck! Fuck! Fuck! I need help!]

[Will I be retaliated against by the President?! Horrible]

[Please text me.]

Moments Later......

25+ New text messages on Hachiman’s phone.

Spam messages from Kushida-chan!

[Call me back, you bastard!]

”Hikigaya-kun is very popular....” Shiina passed a rather unnecessary comment on this boy’s life.

Actually, he just got stood up by this girl sending messages.
