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

The situation that Sudo is facing now is actually very gentle, bec----

”Hey, Sudo, I heard that Onodera rejected you yesterday.”

”No way, Sudo, do you like Onodera’s type?”

”B-but she is flat! Where are tits?”

”Sudo, you’ve been dumped!”

Like this.

The confession scenes and other things will be announced in public.

Shame will be thrown to the ground.

So things like love need to be handled with caution, but Hikigaya-kun has no choice at all.

He is currently dining with Kushida from same group.

”That’s great, Group 1.”

Group 8, Yukimura from Class D feels bitter.

It seems that he has quite a few shortcomings.

However, Hachiman went to Sapporo city yesterday and was taken away by Ryuen.

So he hadn’t visited any of the attractions in the city. Naturally, he needed to visit them, otherwise he would have no memory of this school trip.

Besides, he also had some things he needed to check out in the city.

”I was really surprised. This is the style of this school...” Obviously, Kushida-chan seemed to be somewhat interested as well.

So today’s group’s task is to complete the project.

Breakfast is over.

Hikigaya-kun decided to check out 15 scenic spots provided by the school.

Each scenic spot has a point accumulation system. If a group obtains more than 20 points at 6 scenic spots in total, all members can receive 30,000 individual points as a reward.

The points known for taking photos at the corresponding scenic spots are as follows.

Sapporo Clock Tower, Sapporo TV Tower, Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art: 1 point

Nakajima Park, Hokkaido Shrine: 2 points

Sapporo Motoyama Zoo, Hokkaido Museum, Central Shell Market Outer Market: 3 points

Moerenuma Park and Shiroi Koibito Park: 4 points

Mt. Moiwa is: 5 points

Sun Plaza Aquarium: 6 minutes

Jozankei Hot Spring: 7 points

The last three are Lake Fan and Lake Utonai: 8 points.

It is important to note that even reaching attraction does not mean the mission is complete.

At Sapporo Motoyama Zoo, the requirement for sightseeing is to take photos with polar bears or polar bear house as the background.

So, there are still limitations.

At eight o’clock, attractions that their eighth group randomly need to visit are Jozankei Hot Spring, Sun Plaza Aquarium, Shiroi Koibito Park, Sapporo Motoyama Zoo, and Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art.

According to points situation, a total of 21 points can be obtained for the six attractions.

However, the last Hokkaido Museum of Modern Art is only worth 1 point, so you only need to check in at first 5 attractions to pass the level.

”I always feel that our group’s attractions are a bit... indecent.”

The rest of the group looked over quickly after hearing Kushida-chan’s wording.

Then people noticed that more than half of these attractions seemed to be suitable for dates.

Hello, hello, hello.

This is a group activity, so is it too much to choose these attractions?

But Hikigaya-kun doesn’t think so.

In this group, there are Kito and Yamamura from Class A, Watanabe and Shiranami Chihiro from Class B, himself and Albert from Class C, and Yukimura and Kushida from Class D.

Except for himself and Kushida, everyone else is single. Her actions often have a purpose.

So to speak.

’The place you specifically mentioned to check in can be used for a date. What do you want to do?’ Hikigaya-kun was suspicious, but he didn’t say it out loud for obvious reasons.

”We won’t participate.” However, some disputes arose in Ryuen’s group, ”I’m not interested in getting these points.”

Began to refuse directly.

”Since Ryuen-kun said so, I won’t participate either.”

A girl from Class C who is in the same class as Ryuen also said so.

”Even if you think the points are few, Ryuen-kun, they are still very valuable to us....”

The students from Class B hurriedly tried to persuade him.

It is this kind of group that is most likely to have disputes.

In this way.

Since there were no troublemakers, the members of Team 8, to which Hikigaya-kun belonged, set out.

However, when they arrived at the first attraction, Jozankei Onsen, according to the mission requirements, team members needed to take a group photo.

Group photos can be used by your own or sold to other groups.

”Let’s just take three pictures and make some extra money.” It seems that Watanabe has received message from Ichinose or Kanzaki.

Try to get photos and sell them without destroying unity of the group.

”Whatever you want to do. But you better explain what you were trying to do with that bottle on bus....”

”If I can make some extra money.” Kushida-chan also doesn’t mind.

Class D now has the lowest class evaluation score, and it is hard to say how much living expenses will be left for next month.

So there is no problem in making more money.

”..Haha.” Watanabe laughed dryly and moved a little further away from Hachiman.

The entire group is willing to come out to check in and complete tasks, so the members of Hikigaya’s group are very harmonious.

”Well, if it’s a group photo, I saw the rules sent to me via email. It says that if the photo is blurry and can’t identify the specific person, it won’t count....So, um...” Yamamura took out a camera from her backpack.

That is to say, it is taking pictures with a camera. It will have higher pixels.

No one refused, but when did her voice get so loud?

So, team members found a staff member to help take the photos.

Then finally, just export from the camera and send them to your phone.

Although it is a bit troublesome, clarity can be guaranteed.

Because the first attraction was a hot spring, and there was one in the hotel itself, everyone just took quick photos and took the bus to second check-in point.

Drooom! Khzaak!

The photos are still taken by Yamamura, but after she did, Kushida-chan walked over with a cute friendly smile on her lips.



”Then, Yamamura-san, could you please take a photo of me and Hikigaya-kun later?” She said, glancing at the camera in girl’s hand.

Her face exaggerating that she wouldn’t take no for an answer.

It seems to be pressuring her.

”O-of course you can, but, Kushida-san, do you want to take a photo with Hikigaya-kun?” Yamamura blinked a couple of times just to make sure, then looked at between the two with unknown gaze.

”Yeah, Hikigaya-kun and I were classmates in the past, and I rarely went out with him. So, I want to have this as a souvenir.”

Is that so?

Yamamura thinks Kushida is lying because when she follows her, finds that girl occasionally goes to the shopping district with Hikigaya-kun, on a date.

Bickering and what not.

However, she had no reason to interfere in other people’s love affairs.

Even during normal tracking, Sakayanagi only asked her to record what happened.

So, Yamamura nodded without revealing her own monologue.

Uh-huh.

Kushida-chan still maintains the cuteness of a little angel.

That’s really the case.

She knows it.

’What Sakayanagi-san said last night about canceling the assignment for classmates because of off-campus situation and uncertainty turned out to be a lie. Aren’t you arranging for students like Yamamura-san to work again now?’ Kushida recognized the camera that Yamamura was holding now.

It was Sakura’s.

’In other words, Sakayanagi-san’s idea was to have Yamamura-san record photos of Hikigaya-kun....Since we were participating in a group activity, needed to take photos together as a group, so it seemed very normal. She actually used this method to obtain photos of Hikigaya-kun...Eh. Doesn’t it mean that she can’t do it herself? Hehe~~’

Kushida sympathized and felt pitiful for the other party a little. But she has ideas too.

That is, since you have a camera, it would be nice to leave some memories.

Although Kushida-chan often turns evil. But on the surface, she is a little angel.

Although she likes to act, she is also a high school girl.

There are also some characteristics of female high school students.

For example, as she said to Hikigaya, she hopes to increase her sense of happiness through love and offset those negative emotions.

’Now that everyone is out on a school trip, don’t you think it would be a bit too much if you don’t take some photos as souvenirs? I have been confined for three years of high school, and now it is a rare opportunity for me to go out. Being able to act like a normal couple is a rare experience.’

During the day, Yamamura accepted Sakayanagi’s assignment to take photos with a camera.

But Kushida-chan herself didn’t spend any money and let Yamamura take photos with the camera that Sakayanagi had paid for.

~She is still a little evil~
