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

Only, Hachiman can't do it if he knows the other person has a problem and then takes her frugal money.

At this time, he may have to go to the school clubs and other places to see if there is any other experience in making money.

It's just that the upperclassmen have been harvested by Sakayanagi, so he can only make some soup to drink.

But Hachiman still don't want to be taken care of by Sakayanagi.

He felt that it was unethical to be disdainful of a loli, like having dinner with her, even though he was talking about being a nurturing person, but in the end he proposed an AA system, and she agreed directly.

There are really two modes: what you say and what you do.

He took this as a warning.

"You little brat." Chabashira pressed down the cigarette at this time. "Why was the transaction suddenly interrupted?"

"Because Chabashira-sensei actually have the students' files," Hachiman said.

"..." Chabashira. "You are really interesting. Indeed. As the head teacher, I have the files, but there may be some discrepancies between them right? So, isn't it reasonable for me to entrust you to help me?"

It is very reasonable. But.

"The price you paid is too high, and your salary is only 200,000." Hachiman shook his head, this kind of deal isn't realistic.

"Is it just...are you worried that I have no money?" Indeed.

She seemed to adjust her words. "When I came to this school, my salary was not very high, and as you might imagine, we teachers are also based on strength."

"As the head teacher of Class D, my salary is only a mere 200,000."

"But this is also true. This school is different from the outside world. When I graduated from college with Hiratsuka, I did not choose to go to the local high school like her because of this."

"Advanced Nurturing High School gives all students the opportunity to climb up, so as your class teacher, although you don't have a high starting point, if you are qualified to reach Class C, my salary will be doubled, and if you are promoted to Class B, my salary will be doubled again."

"And in the outside world it can't be done."

"So, this is my ambition. In order to obtain greater rewards, what's the problem with just making some initial investment now?" Chabashira didn't want to leave this situation, after coming this close, "....I admit that I asked you for help, on the one hand, to complete the teacher's task of evaluating students."

"At the same time, I hope you can find outstanding students and then climb up together."

"This is a win-win plan for all three parties."

She admits that her deal with Hachiman was to get the potentially troubled children in her class to come together.

Although these problem children are bombs, it is undeniable that their hardware panels are still watchable.

So, it is possible to climb up. And Chabashira saves so much for investment.

'Do you want to use points to encourage students to climb up?' It seems both inspirational and opportunistic.

But. "You lied." Hachiman said calmly and without mercy. He judged without hesitation that Sae Chabashira was lying.

"..." Chabashira. "Why do you say that?"

"Because of the inconsistency, if the purpose is to climb up the ranks and improve your salary as a class teacher, then there is no need to save so much in the early stage. And the investment is so large."

Hachiman was also quite surprised by this newfound momentum, but he kept rolling, "....I don't think it's just to get higher rewards. Rather, you should have something deeper in your heart."

"..." Chabashira. 'So, this kid is really tricky.'

So, She stopped talking, walked directly to the railing and pressed her hands on it.

It was probably because she was touched that the railing shook slightly, but it didn't.

Chabashira-sensei is very gentle. Just keep your hands there.

"I already had a high opinion of you before," She closed her eyes, slightly in deep thinking. Her back was to Hachiman. "...But now, this evaluation may need to be improved."

"Indeed."

She sighed, heavily "I have my own obsession... I was a student of this school, and was also born in Class D like you."

"And my class was eventually promoted to Class B, which is only a hair away from Class A."

"But unfortunately, we.... failed in the end."

"And this incident has always stayed in my heart." She said in a very emotional tone, Hachiman hadn't seen Chabashira-sensei talking like this before, "....The information collected also shows that Class D has never been successful in transferring to Class A, but I want to see if there is such a chance."

"And this time I saw your files and discovered you problem children. I thought maybe I could give it a try."

'I see, but it's a pity.' Hachiman nodded.

"But Chabashira-sensei, you may still be panicking." He analyzed.

"Because of lack of motivation."

"So, I think it's not just an ordinary regret. It doesn't satisfy the reason why you are so persistent....So, could it be said that you were responsible for the failure of the class to get promoted to A?"

"Because it ruined everyone's expectations, so your heart has also been paused at that mom....."

Boom! At this moment, the railing that had just been treated tenderly made a sound.

Chabashira's left hand pressed on the trembling railing.

"You are such a terrible man." She turned around with her hands crossed around her chest, her eyes changed, "...And you are very cruel."

_________

Sae Chabashira.

After the Advanced Nurturing High School was put into use, students enrolled as the 10th class.

And she was initially assigned to Class D.

In the first month of simplicity, they did not perform well, and then one month later, they gained the essence of this school.

But they also lost the starting line.

However, although the students in the class were one step behind others, they were not discouraged.

But it showed unity.

Then after hard work, they finally came across the position of Class B.

At this time, we have reached the end of the third grade, and there is not much difference from the class evaluation score of Class A.

There is an exit exam.

In this exam, as long as someone drops out, they can pass it safely. Otherwise, points will be deducted.

Maintaining the current gap with Class A, they hope to catch up in the next special examination.

At that time, in order to prevent the class from hurting and framing each other, the class representative chose to let everyone vote for her, and she would drop out of school, and everyone would achieve the goal of getting an A.

This was agreed upon by all the students in the class except one person.

And the person who didn't agree was Chabashira Sae.

When everyone agreed to withdraw the class representative, she chose to oppose it.

This continues until the end of the exam.

Their class did not receive any rewards for this exam, and therefore their points were deducted.

And just like that, in the last special exam, they didn't make it past Class A.

Finally graduated from Class B.

Because of this, Chabashira's interpersonal relationships fell apart.

Her best friend grabbed her collar and scolded her. Most of her classmates resented her because they all thought that if she had not persisted and agreed to the class representative's plan, maybe they would all graduate as Class A.

Go to the university you want without taking the exam for free, or directly find a job in the unit you want.

In addition to these, you can also obtain the outstanding graduates that are the signature of Nurture High School, that is, the title of Elite.

For some people, something that could almost be called a change of fate is gone.

Then it becomes more ordinary. No matter how unwilling they were, everyone has graduated and gone to their own lives.

Chabashira chose to enter higher education and attended the same university as Hiratsuka Shizuka.

After graduation, Hiratsuka-san chose to return to her hometown of Chiba. But Sae chose to return to ANHS.

She accepted Chairman Sakayanagi's appointment and became the class teacher of the first-year class D that everyone knows now.

However, when she came back here, everything in the past and the option that could change the fate of the whole class were reminded of her again.

It also became her knot.

So, she just wants to know whether the students in Class D can really hit Class A.

If the students in Class D can really hit Class A, then it proves that the students in Class D have the ability to climb up.

And she did make a mistake.

The above are all the psychological trauma of Sae Chabashira, and now she herself has revealed her past.

Only. The person who asked her to uncover the scars was herself.

Hachiman didn't force her, but she chose to do it. Of course, she knows her obsession.

She didn't apply for so-called psychological counseling, because Sae didn't think it would be effective.

Probably only when she really hit the wall, Sae would be able to move forward.

__________

In this way.

After explaining the past, Chabashira remained quiet, and then looked at the boy who was sitting on the bench beside him and thinking.

Hikigaya Hachiman.

Chabashira stared at the lonely-looking boy.

She really underestimated him. This is the second class of D students she has led as a class teacher.

However, the strength of this class of students is different from the past, and is even more outstanding than their previous class.

She found that many students were thrown into Class D due to various flaws, but their hardware could rival students from Class A or Class B.

It seems to be a defective product after being screened.

And this kind of thing happened in their generation as well.

There will always be people who seem to be excellent but are judged to be incompetent by the school.

So the school put them here, Class D.

But. When she saw Hikigaya Hachiman, she felt there was hope.

The other party is quite smart. He is from Class D, but his performance is extremely good and his insight ability is better than that of their upper class.

And now let everything be revealed.

What would he choose?

"Chabashira-sensei, it's impossible for Class D to be promoted to Class A," Hachiman said. "I don't think you should have such high hopes, especially in our class."

Result, Sure enough. He chose to refuse.

This child is very mature and probably thinks she is in trouble.

Yes. He just wants to make some money, be raised by a rich woman or become rich himself.

'How could I choose to lead a class?'

What Hikigaya values is points. And he is also a good kid.

He probably guessed that she was frugal and wanted to return the point card he had received.

This made Chabashira feel a little ashamed. After all, she took advantage of the other party.

Before, she just hoped to use points to let him solve the problems of problem children in series, and then lead the attack on Class A together.

Now, the deal has been terminated.

Etc. Chabashira suddenly grasped a point.

"Hikigaya, you like money, right?" Chabashira said.

"What do you mean?" Hachiman was confused.

"That means if I add more money, it can drive you, right?" She found another straw, and decided to squeeze it with all her might.

"?" Hachiman looked at her.

"If I give you more money, then you will help me, right?" Her face seemed to have gained more colour.

"..." Hachiman.

"No, Chabashira-sensei." He still refused. "If you still give me your savings, I won't accept it."

"I didn't say I had no money." She realised, what was the problem and immediately decided to delete it,  "It is true that I saved money on my salary in school because I was so excited and had no place to spend it...But when I was in college, I started a business with Hiratsuka-san, and both of us got the bonus of not having to work for the rest of our lives."

"And don't you pay attention? Although she is your teacher, but also drive an Aston Martin to work."

"And there are also two apartments in Chiba."

"So." She started adding more sweet things, desperately wanting to woo Hachiman, "...If you come to help me, I can give you millions directly... Well, after all, this is a high school, so I can probably give you 30 million in cash."

"..." Hachiman. 'What shocking news!'

The rich woman is right next to him, and he doesn't even know it?!

　　...

Hachiman met three rich people in this school.

One is Sakayanagi Arisu. This is the eldest lady, and she is not short of money.

And he thought Chabashira-sensei was stingy about saving a huge amount of points, but in the end, she had already accumulated a share that she would not have to work for the rest of her life.

In the end, even Hiratsuka Shizuka of Sobu High School is actually a dark horse?

She turned out to be the rich eldest sister.

When he was in class, he heard that some students said that they saw  Hiratsuka-sensei driving a beautiful red sports car on the weekend, and then she was caught and reprimanded by the traffic police.

It seemed that she was being cool on the other side of the bridge and was caught.

But no one took it seriously at that time. Including Hachiman.

'Just treat it as a piece of news that may be true or false that I usually collect.'

'In the end, Hiratsuka-sensei, are you actually a rich woman?' She actually drives a luxury car and owns more than just one property.

It was as if Hachiman had opened up a new world.

Suddenly he felt regretful, because maybe if he stayed in Sobu High, he might also meet a rich woman who would support him.

It's just that it's difficult, after all, it's impossible for Hiratsuka-sensei to choose a pretty boy like him.

She is so motivated, and probably likes the kind of reliable people.

But that doesn't mean it's totally out of the question.

Because the same personality and interests can bring people closer, but couples do not have to be the same.

'What they need is complementarity and support.

So, wouldn't I be more suitable as a househusband for Hiratsuka-sensei?'

Um. Hachiman shook off the strange thoughts because this was also the first time for him.

Being employed by a rich woman for 10 million, 20 million, or even 30 million.

'I have never experienced this kind of thing' You need to know about his family.

His father is considered a middle-level person in the company, and the family's income is about five million a year.

It looks pretty good. but. 30 million.

"..." Hachiman. True.

He came to this school and had 100,000 yen worth of personal points directly on his phone.

And it can be consumed directly, and the school will thoughtfully recycle it when you graduate.

So, it can also be understood that points are money.

And Hachiman personally got two point cards worth 400,000 from Chabashira.

Even the Student council president transferred the bill to him.

As an ordinary boy who used to have only 2,000 yen a month as pocket money in his family, his money values have undergone surprising changes in the past few days.

And now. 30 million.

'Hey, hey, hey, not one hundred thousand, one million, but thirty million!

One unit of his house is only worth 12 million.'

'Therefore, even if I am kicked out because I don't want to work, I can still buy a house and live with my sister, and still have 18 million in savings.

If I save a little, spending 1.8 million a year, I can stay at home without working for 10 years' Hachiman's mind started working like a horse, when his dream of staying at home, started to look more real.

This is really reassuring. "Chabashira-sensei." He calmed down.

Hachiman gave a small laugh, "Please stop joking.....Thirty million is still a huge amount of money. Although it is inappropriate for me, please take money seriously and establish normal values."

'In other words, I hope she will not spend money randomly'

"..." Chabashira.

"By the way, aren't you kid tempted?" She didn't listen to a single thing, he said, "....I'll give you 30 million directly, and you'll have to work for me?"

"..." Hachiman. 'Your lines are so subtle'

It's like a proposal line seen in TV dramas. But at that time, it was usually the man who got married.　　

But there is one thing Hachiman still needs to confirm.

"Are the conditions you mentioned true?" he said.

"..." Chabashira.

'So, are you really tempted by my money now?'  Hehe. She smiled inwardly.

Sae was in a good mood now.
