COTE: A Man On A Mission || Love is War? Chapter 273

“Horikita-san!”

The next day, when Suzune returned to the class, Yamauchi Haruki apologized to her with an embarrassed look and in an awkward tone.

But there was a cry in his voice.

Yamauchi almost cried.

Because it's too much!

It's really too much! Yamauchi felt extrely wronged.

Because Hirata-kun told him to apologize to Suzune in class, but this was not the end.

Last night, he found that indoor shoes in his cabinet had been cut with scissors.

Then it was stuffed with garbage!

When he returned to dormitory, people kept knocking on the door and ringing the doorbell as if they were playing a prank.

But when he got to the door, he found no one, but the body of a dead rat was lying flat on ground.

So disgusting!

Why is this happening? Why is he being treated like this?

Last night he went to see Hirata-kun crying, who expressed that he was also distressed and he didn't want his classmates to do such things.

But Hirata probably guessed that everyone was dissatisfied with Yamauchi, so he hoped that poor could apologize to Suzune.

Preferably in front of the whole class.

That way, [mischief] will go away.

The main reason is that Hirata-kun doesn't want to hurt anyone, so he uses this kind of gentle approach.

So just apologize.

'All you have to do is apologize to Horikita-san the next morning, Yamauchi....' - Quoted by Hirata-kun.

But when he ca to classroom in the morning, he found that his desk was covered with so very outrageous words, such as "trash" and "go to hell".

It was like voice of the devil and made him almost cry.

He had never been bullied like this before, but Yamauchi knew very well that if he didn't apologize imdiately, he would be played even worse.

So when Suzune showed up here, he couldn't bear it any longer.

“Yes, I'm sorry, Horikita-san. I was the one who spoke without restraint yesterday. I apologize for my cruel behavior!”

"..." Suzune frowned.

Or rather, she herself was surprised.

Yesterday, she was persuaded by Hachiman to go back to the dormitory and he would handle the matter, but she really didn't expect Yamauchi to apologize to her like this.

"I didn't hear anything yesterday." Suzune also analyzed the situation in the class.

It seed that everyone was staring at Yamauchi, and seed to be paying attention to this matter, so she gave a calm answer.

She just sighed in her heart, she knew that it must be Hachiman who dealt with it for her again.

And it was handled so perfectly.

Sure enough, she was far from growing up.

“Ah, okay, you didn't hear anything, I didn't say anything, and everyone didn't bully , right?" Yamauchi was stunned for a mont, then imdiately said, "Is this okay?"

He looked at his classmates with so pity.

Many students turned their heads away.

They probably all participated in the bullying of Yamauchi.

And now they have reached a reconciliation.

“But I only sent you a ssage to ask you to stop rumors in the class from going on, but you went to bully Yamauchi....” Hachiman was sitting in his seat.

Suzune was probably curious about this matter, so she kept looking at him, but he was sending a ssage to Karuizawa Kei who was sitting in the front row.

There are rumors circulating, and the senior classes don’t know about it yet, so how to deal with it?

It's very simple.

Just pinch it off.

Just leave it without soil to grow in.

So he entrusted Karuizawa.

[Those are things I've encountered in the past, and they were very...mild ]

By Karuizawa Kei.

“I'm sorry. I made you recall unhappy things!” Hachiman replied quickly.

However, Karuizawa did not continue to respond him back a text. But he still had to go to the Student council later.

When he ca out with Suzune yesterday, saw an acquaintance among the upper class.

“This is a rare guest.”

In the Student council, President Horikita Manabu sat in his seat, and on his desk was a large stack of docunts that needed to be revised or approved.

Although he often has a stern face, even Hachiman cannot deny that this president is actually quite outstanding.

"So is there sothing going on this ti? Or... is it about what happened yesterday?" Manabu paused and gave a mild hint.

As for what happened yesterday, it was probably that he dragged Suzune outside into the playground in the morning, and then Manabu saw her in the crowd.

As an older brother, he would not watch anything happen to his sister.

“It's that rumor, right—”

“No,” But Hachiman shook his head, "This matter has been resolved!”

"..." Manabu was choked.

“....solved?”

“Yeah,” Hachiman didn't want to fool him either, “After all, it's just a class of idiots, so if we suppress them, they won't continue to discuss. If students in this class don't talk, there's no point in others spreading it. After all, Horikita is in Class A now, so it won't embarrass you at all, right?”

“....Haha." Manabu actually smiled.

Indeed.

If his sister was in Class D, he would be embarrassed, but now she has been promoted to Class A, so not only is it not embarrassing, it's even...

Outstanding!

Because in history of this school, there has never been a possibility for a student from Class D to be promoted to A.

It’s not shaful at all to be able to do sothing that’s close to a miracle.

“I think there is one thing you have been mistaken about,” Manabu felt like he should provide so insight after everything Hachiman had done, “Even if Suzune has always been in Class D, without any shining points, and was maliciously slandered and rumors spread, I would not feel ashad of her.”

“Because I'm her brother!”

This was sothing Hachiman had not expected, but it was understandable.

Because he is also a brother.

Even if Komachi did sothing stupid, he would still admit that it was his fault.

'To so extent, I am very similar to Horikita Manabu....'

So, even though Manabu had clearly noticed that he had co here for sothing, he still asked about Suzune first.

He was probably worried.

Thus, rumor ca to an end.

Hachiman also arranged for Suzune to take over the task of setting math test for Class C.

Requirent was quite simple, just make it as difficult as possible.

And the other side.

On September 6th.

Hachiman finished his shower and lay on the bed, but he didn't fall asleep.

Instead, he rembered that on the 2nd, Arisu Sakayanagi invited him to dinner, and that he and her went together to choose a birthday present for Kamuro-san.

Although it's a bit of a mismatch, he didn't expect that although Kamuro-san is tall and looks very independent, her preferences are unexpectedly female.

But considering that Kamuro-san probably doesn't have many friends.

So maybe only Sakayanagi would rember birthdays and the like.

Hachiman then edited a text ssage and sent it to her.

Wish the girl a happy birthday.

But Kamuro-san didn't reply quickly.

It was probably a few minutes later that she sent a ssage.

【What are you talking about? 】

by Kamuro-san.

[Isn’t today your birthday?]

[Who told you that? My birthday is in Feb.] by Kamuro-san.

'Eh? So whose birthday is today?'

Based on the information collected by Kushida, he learned that entire school is taking written exams this month.

Scores for exams are sowhat different.

Except that in their first grade, winning team received 200 points of class evaluation score from the losing.

The second grade only has 50 points, while the third grade has 100.

In other words, the whole school is taking written exams, so places like the library and cafe are starting to beco packed with people.

Everyone started to study.

But there are classrooms available, so it’s not inconvenient.

Although Hachiman was not in charge, Hirata-man was also trying to turn the tide.

He ordered himself, Kushida, Matsushita, Horikita-san, and Yukimura to make test papers together.

Each person is responsible for one to two.

However, after they finished papers, they handed them to Suzune, who planned to submit them before the deadline on the 21st.

This is also what Hachiman requested.

And now Since he was assigned to a study group, he had to act with the mbers at night and even hold study sessions.

Hachiman has to go to school during the day and study at night, not to ntion the weekends.

Yukimura felt that even two months was not enough ti for poor students like him to study, so the weekends were naturally arranged.

And it’s already the 13th.

It is equivalent to having started studying for 2 weeks.

The gaps or unfamiliarity between mbers of the team were also reduced a lot.

At the beginning, you can hear that Sakura is a little timid and a little uneasy about joining the group, like a squirrel.

But now, Sakura seems to have changed her mind. 'I think Karuizawa-san is also a nice person.'

Hachiman has long known this, After all, other party will give him gifts.

After finishing their studies, everyone sat in the coffee shop to rest as usual.

Because they had so money in their hands, students in Class A were still willing to buy.

There are benefits in study sessions.

At tis like this, can even summarize the study thods later.

But when Hachiman ca back from the toilet, he found that group mbers were surrounded by people.

'Why is there always trouble going around our class?' He felt jinxed.
