COTE : Is Talent Everything? (Rewrite)

I—Ayanokouji Kiyotaka—was thinking.

Up until now, I had made numerous proposals to Hikigaya. It started with aphrodisiacs, then high-sensitivity glasses, and most recently, even picking up girls. Through these, I gained new knowledge, and I found it all quite entertaining.

And in the process, I realized something. No, to be precise, observing Hikigaya made me realize it.

The decisive moment was the recent attempt at picking up girls. Seeing Hikigaya surrounded by first-year students Nanase and Amasawa, I felt something indescribable.

In the end, what I'm trying to say is—

—Hikigaya's love conflicts are the most entertaining thing ever.

There aren't many things I find amusing. For some reason, watching Hikigaya flustered and toyed with in his relationships with girls—I wanted to see more of that.

To put my plan into action immediately, I gathered some accomplices.

"Heh, not bad, Ayanokouji. You've come up with somethin' pretty interestin'. I ain't thrilled about teamin' up with you, but I'm in for this one."

"Ohhh? You wanna see Hikigaya in a messy love situation? Damn, that sounds hilarious. Of course I'm in."

The ones I recruited were Ryuuen, from Hikigaya's class, and Hashimoto from Class A. The reason I chose them? Their nasty personalities and their love for mischief. They had both in spades.
