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

However, just as he was thinking about Suzune Horikita being pitiful, the sound of kicking on the railing and the girl's curses came again.

"That bastard Hikigaya!"
　　
"You are promoted, but just treat people like tools. And trouble me every time! Do you know how annoying  it is?!"

"Even the test paper can't be used, and you made me work hard for so long. It's all a waste of effort!"

“....” Hachiman.
　　
After saying this, Kushida-san continued to kick the railing to vent her anger, but her victim became a
little silent now.

Because in her mind, Hachiman is this kind of person. 'If something happens to Kushida-san, I will just let her go!'
　　
But there are so many things going on. 'Although it is impossible to deny it, is this what Kushida thinks about me?!
　　
"Hikigaya, you are a bitch, you are hypocritical!"
　　
"You are looking for a true friend, but then you always force me to work like  a horse!”

“The salary is really too low, I really don't want a boss like that!"

"I have so many friends to face, how can I have time to care about you!"

Kaka ka! And then she continued to kick the railing.

"In every god damn universe! What did I ever do to you, for deserving this kind of harsh treatment?!” Even the Railing-chan screamed in anger, she was really furious about this psycho's behaviour.
　　
Although Hachiman didn’t know how long she had been scolding Horikita before, but now that his name was mentioned repeatedly, he feels that most of them are scolding him.

"..." Hachiman. 'Although I knew that Kushida was probably just venting out of being stressed too much.....

But, he was not in a good mood right now. He really didn't like someone scolding him like this......even if most of it was true. It didn't feel good at all.

Generally speaking, he was just about to leave quietly without disturbing the other person's privacy.
　　
But now. Hachiman walked directly towards her from a short distance away, while deliberately walking slowly.

Footsteps were heard.

Although Kushida was determined to break her leg, her hearing was still fine.
　　
"Scared!" Kushida was suddenly startled and took a few steps back, far away from the railing (her sacred place?) that was always discovered by the main character in every fanfic.

It seems that as long as you stay away from the target of the crime, you can completely disconnect from the darkened image just now.

Well that's what Hachiman advises those unfortunate souls who may have eavesdropped on this bad girl's behaviour, by mistake. Just quietly walk away.

"You..." Kushida looked at him nervously, feeling a little guilty.
　　
This image of her cannot be seen by others, otherwise the Kushida Empire that she wants to create by making everyone trust her....will fall apart in an instant.

And it's just that. Not only her true face is exposed.
　
But....also her scolding Horikita-san quite violently and this boy's too...

'So, what to do? Will he be angry?'

'Or would he use my true face as a threat?' No matter what it is, Kushida-san doesn’t want to think right now.
　　
Rather say, she was a little panicked now. This is not the first time that her true identity has been known to everyone due to leaks, exposures, etc.
　　
'Will it be the same in this school?!'

"Hikigaya-kun——" Kushida quickly returned to her usual cute expression.

"Um, when did you come here?" She asked tentatively, maintaining her usual little angel look.

If the other party didn't hear anything.......not see the scene where she just collapsed. 'Then I'm still safe!'

"..." Hachiman. He decided to better keep his mouth shut.
　　
But Kushida, on the other hand, she took the initiative to take a step forward.

"Hikigaya-kun——" A very sweet voice reached his ears again. 'This again.....' She is standing really close to him now, and has a sweet smell on her body.
　　
Hachiman just walked right past her, in response to her devilish whispers.

??
Kushida was a little surprised. 'What's this weirdo doing?! I was just about to use my secret weapons?!' She had thought of a counter-measure to make this situation under control....but now.
　　
Because Hachiman's reaction was different from what she imagined.
　　
He wasn't angry, nor surprised, nor did he want to use this as a threat to expose her.

Rather.

"Bang——!" He walked towards the guardrail of the beach without looking away, and then put his foot on the railing, making a dull roar.

“Aahhh!” Hachiman's strength was not comparable to Kushida's, and the loud sound startled her quite badly.

Even after being a bitch, she is just an
ordinary girl, and her strength cannot be better than that of a boy.  'Just give me a break already! My heart can't take it anymore!'

If Hachiman attacks her here, she will have absolutely no way to resist.
　
'Don't tell me....Hikigaya-kun is gone mad too? Do you also want to be violent?!’ Kushida felt like she made a huge mistake. 'I shouldn't have come out today!
　　
And thinking about it.
　　
"That bitch Kushida!"
　　
"You are so arrogant all day long because you are cute and have good grades. Do you think everyone will like you?"

"Why don't people like Kushida die? Go to hell, Go to hell, go to hell!"
　　
"That stupid cunt, always shaking her chest around..." Hachiman kicked the railing and cursed.

And Kushida's expression changed from solemn to surprised to uncomfortable at the same time.
　　
Because, this was exactly what she said when she scolded Horikita at the beginning.

Hachiman deliberately repeated her words, holding the railing in front of her and.....then cursed her to death.

Even went beyond like shaking her chest at boys's face. It is a provocation, but also a fact - 'I have seen it all'.
　　
And she realised that Hachiman was probably listening from the start, and heard everything. 'This is indeed the worst result!'

'My true face is exposed, and at the same time, this lunatic will definitely find a way to retaliate against me!' She immediately realised about the possible outcomes of today's events.
　　
"So, what do you want to do?!" The cute look that Kushida maintained just now has turned into the darkened state when Hachiman kicked her railing.
　　
Rather, maybe this is the real her.
　　
"If you want to drop me out, then it's useless.... You want to be promoted to Class A, right?!”

"Aren't you the one who said that students in our class needs someone to be the glue?!"

"I can be that person! So, you know I'm necessary, right?" Kushida immediately started pointing out the value she brought in Class C, even used Hachiman's own words (glue?!).

The said person just blinked in response because he seemed a little surprised by the other party's shameless attitude.

'It's obvious that your secret has been discovered, but you are still showing that you're a superior person?!

'This idiot still didn't know what kind of crisis, she was thrown into?' Hachiman was really quite amazed, so he took out his cell phone."I have a recording of you scolding Horikita.."

"What do you think?" He deliberately paused after this, knowing there's no need to explain any further. This girl has a good brain and probably knows what I mean'

Hachiman held the phone, to make her under that he was serious and there was not much expression on his face.
　　
This move is terrifying. Kushida's eyes widened instantly after realising what he wanted to do. 'You little vermin?!'
　　
She had just come to vent her anger, but mostly it was just to curse these two people, who always abuse her.

But now everything was recorded by the other party. 'And if this audio was leaked to Horikita....'

Kushida's relationship with the girl named, Horikita Suzune as a "friend" would end immediately.
　　
And if she knew about her naughty actions of the past..... she wouldn't hesitate to start ridiculing her in front of everyone.

How unlucky is this? She felt like, offering....some flowers to the Buddha again.

She has a dark history, and this is something Kushida feels, must not be exposed after coming to this school.
　　
Therefore, she was particularly concerned about Horikita Suzune, who came from the same junior high school as her.

They were not in the same class. No, it would be better to say that they had never even met in the past. 'However, who knows whether she really knows nothing! I can't afford to take such a huge risk?!'

This school has an unusual status for Kushida, a place where she can get a fresh start.

She didn't want...any more problems in her life. Just get some inner satisfaction of being praised.
　　
Result. Not even the issue of black history hasn't been dealt with yet.....her true face has also been exposed.

Kushida has no way to cover this, and she can't give the reason for being drunk either. But her good luck didn't stop here.

'You asshole! How can you say that my secrets being exposed is a good thing?!
Even though she was wearing school clothes, Kushida-san just felt like....she was standing naked in front of Hachiman. 

The outrageous speech she just made was recorded by this irritating boy.

Send this to Horikita.... her already 'fake friendship' would deteriorate if this was exposed.  　

And she couldn't be sure whether Horikita knew about her dark history, but as long as she got close to her and became friends.....then she'll try to open her cold heart......and pour some tomato soup on it.

'But, now Hikigaya-kun is going to destroy my self-rescue plan!'
　　
It would be even more of a public execution, if he sends the recording to the class group, her image will be destroyed immediately. 'I would be given a social death! And many people would start hunting me!'

That is to say. Hikigaya Hachiman now has the power to directly destroy everything about her.

This kind of thing...
　　
"What do you want to do?!" Kushida-san seemed to feel that the matter had become helpless, and suddenly became fierce.

She even repeated the same words from before..... meaning, her brain has stopped working.

'What do I want to do? Is Kushida worried that I will threaten her?'
　　
In fact, it was Hachiman, who was worried about her safety at first.... if something bad happened... when she came to such a deserted place so late.
　
'In other words, I obviously came here out of good intentions! But, now I was being regarded as a villain or something?! Hachiman's face became slightly disgusted at this thought.

'It's this fool, who is actually a villain, right?!' He was really innocent this time.

But it made one fact confirmed,
Kushida’s IQ is actually not very high.
　　
'Because I said that my mobile phone has recorded her scolding Horikita...but was it really recorded?'

Actually no. Hachiman just pretended to do such a thing, but in the end, she didn't even think about how ordinary people would record her self-destruction when they saw it.

He realised, that sometimes her mind just doesn't work well. Became both dumb, and sharp at the same time.

He had a feeling of Deja vu again, but how will Kushida react?  Hello! Stop monologuing! She already took action!

"Pa—" Hachiman was still thinking, or rather, he couldn't react at all.

Because, this girl named Kushida walked straight towards him.
　　
As the little angel in the class, coupled with her cute appearance, Hachiman's heart beat several times because of her.

But this time, it's different. She took his hand. And not like holding hands to transfer temperature.

Instead...she directly grabbed his hand and suddenly pressed it on her own sign of great evil.

This moment of operation or touch seemed to stop Hachiman's thinking.

.............

Beep.......　　

"Your fingerprints are right there." The blackened Kushida seemed to have become extremely sober and calm.

Her expression was cold, eyes slightly narrowed at her target with her guard raised up. She didn't have much choice left, and just decided to use that famous plan......

"Generally speaking, it's not a thing to have fingerprints of the opposite
sex...unless it's a couple..” She paused her mouth, slightly. Hoping that it made him realise what kind of dangerous phenomenon just happened here.

"I can definitely spread the word that you want to rape me, and Horikita-san was your accomplice....
　　
“In other words, even if you expose the recording, then I am [innocent]” Kushida ended her words, with a creepy smile on her face, obviously feeling much better after implementing her original plan like canon.

She didn't feel right just by discarding that..... it's now become a habit after all. Just threaten every single character who stumbled on her venting.

Hachiman withdrew her evaluation of Kushida because she thought of a countermeasure in such a short period of time. 'Indeed, she thought I had made a recording, and if this was exposed, it would cause a huge scandal.'

Her fake persona will collapse. It's just that he felt really calm for some reason.....even after grabbing those melons.

Because Hachiman, also knew that many people would really kill someone to be in his position right now. 'So, can I be called the luckiest person in the world right now?'

Only, If Kushida really did something unnecessary like spreading those bullshit rumours about him molesting her.

People won't definitely complain about Horikita being his accomplice, because she has already been famous inside the class......there's a video going viral among the school about these two girls engaging in yuri play.

Hachiman didn't forget, the small peeks that Ichinose was taking from time to time.....looking at both of his Secretaries with..... curious eyes.

Because of that video, people will have preconceptions and think these are really true.　

And after that, even if Hachiman spread the pictures about Kushida trying to break her leg....people who are interested will connect it -

Of course, in the reverse order. He didn't believe in good luck.
　　
Because Hachiman wanted to rape her and his deskmate was also an accomplice in this criminal act, Kushida changed her usual temper and kicked the railing while cursing them. 'So, will this kind of thing be trusted?'

Of course, they would. After all, people are more willing to trust cute girls than boys.

'What people believe in, is not the axiom, but the one who looks weak and needs protection!'

"The countermeasures are well thought out," He really praised this girl's reckless but quite effective decision-making skills, under such high pressure.
　　
His left hand has already been put down by Kushida-san. 'Of course she will you idiot! Do you think a girl would willingly let you fondle her boobs?!'

But Hachiman, wisely chose to ignore the small voice inside his mind.....to this day, he still didn't know where it comes from....

He didn't put his left hand down completely, but shook it gently instead. 'It's not that I'm reminiscing about anything, but...this hand...it was indeed an incredible experience today!'

'For the first time in my life, like an adolescent boy... I touched the opposite sex?!" This boy is hopeless. 'Don't interfere with my life!'

'Because, this is the first time I have touched a girl's body, and... it was the other party who took the initiative.'　

"If what I was thinking about at this moment was how [lucky, I am], then what would you think?" Hachiman said, forcing his racing heart to calm down.

But this reaction was really delayed by a mile, even Kushida was astonished by this.

Because Hachiman was really calm when it happened.....but now, did you finally start being excited? It also made her feel slightly relieved inside, Kushida was forced to think for a moment she was not an attractive person.

Her self-confidence was also quite shaken, but now it's okay...... because.

Um.....She just realised what wrong direction her thoughts are going?

'Why was I feeling happy, again? Isn't this a super embarrassing ....being touched by a boy like this?!

“....” Kushida-san.

Of course it felt quite disgusting now, and she started to think if....this was really stupid.

Being prostituted for free.....'No-no, I won't do it, even if there was a payment?!
　　
"What you did.... it seems like just a desperate move to protect yourself." Hachiman who realised that, his 'victim' was having an internal crisis, he immediately tried to reassure her,
"But Kushida....it's a pity if you can only think of such a simple plan."

There was no comfort at all!

"It's useless....Because, you just held my hand... um... then... rubbed those..." Hachiman felt embarrassed to say the word "groping your melons".

"Isn't it just pressing the chest?" However, Kushida remained to be a bigger person, and remained calm, "You're such a gloomy single!" She even used this to damage his already fragile dignity.

But her slightly rosy cheeks gave her true feelings away. That's right.
　　
'This girl must be very shameless, to insult me at this time!' Hachiman felt that Kushida seemed to have come to her senses now and felt a little ashamed.

After all, what she did was just an impulsive solution......

Now Kushida is regretting this decision in her heart....the realisation of what a terrible thing she did.

"For the plan of rubbing your chest, what you want to get is my fingerprints, right?”

“The idea is good,” And only now Hachiman decided to put his right hand away, "But it's useless."

"Because it's difficult to retain human fingerprints on clothes." He then also decided to give her some extra knowledge about their workings, he was given a big reward after all.

“At the same time, the conditions for preserving them on clothes are too strict..... so it's difficult to accuse me with just a few clicks."

"Generally speaking, at least let me press a few more tim-"

"Stop talking!" Kushida screeched, feeling horrified, and her sound was very annoying to Hachiman's ears.

She glared at him with vigilance, her face similar to that of Sudo's hair, obviously imagining some lewd things.

Her fingers were trembling in anger, Kushida just wanted to scratch this pervert's face.
