COTE: I became Sakura

Truck-kun is a busy guy, not only he has to move goods across the country, but also people across worlds.

Because he is so busy, I didn't think that he will have time for me, a random corporate slave, who couldn't get into Bollywood due to not having any connections in the entertainment world.

Well, I did some small roles, but they weren't frequent enough to keep me fed. So, I ended up becoming an office lady whose job is to go to people's door and scam them into taking a competitive exam course.

I don't like my job. Both due to guilty conscience and the toxic environment. But there was no choice but to continue the job because I needed money to live.

And just to say this, I am not an orphan. My mother is still alive, and not on hospital's bed.

Thankfully, it was all going to change today. I found a good guy with decent salary in a government job, and marriage talks were almost finished.

Today, I was going to his house to fix an engagement date, when the busy Truck-kun decided that he has time to spare for me.

His face hit my scooty's butt, and I was flown away, where another speeding truck hit me with full force.

I was double tackled.

And I was dead.

Yet, I can still think.

I am probably in the middle of my reincarnation procedure, so I quickly listed my wishes.

Please reincarnate me as an OP slime with this, this, and that.

Suddenly, I felt like I once again had a body. I could feel my eyes closed, that I could actually open them.

Yes!

I have been reincarnated!

I quickly opened my eyes, and found myself in a bedroom.

I got up to see my arms, yet, my sight was restricted by something else.

Two giant mountains.

"Yay!"

I shouted in joy at the positive change of my reincarnation.

I saw a mirror, and quickly moved to it to see the reflection of the new me.

Pink hair, blue eyes, fair skin, a ridiculously OP body, and a face that can only be described as super cute Anime girl's face.

I instantly recognised the face.

Sakura Airi. Or was it Airi Sakura?

One of the earliest female characters in COTE who fell for Ayanokoji. Maybe she was the first? I don't really remember much.

And the one who got expelled for no reason other than Horikita being a useless 'leader' and Ayanokoji being a Horikita simp.

I dropped the LN after that volume, but well...

This is great!

Sakura has actually the cutest and hottest character design! On par with Ichinose!

With her body, I can become an idol...

No. I heard that idol industry is more toxic than a normal Japanese black company.

And that is...

Maybe being an actress or singer will be better?

Nah. I don't have the craze of being a celebrity anymore.

Nor do I want to work.

So... I will find myself a good boyfriend and settle down with him. This school has plenty of good guys with decent, or even rich backgrounds.

I don't necessarily want someone rich, but a good guy with a decent background, who can earn well in the future.

But well... since I am in high school again, and not a normal one at that, let's work hard to earn money here, buy some golden jewellery before graduation, and sell it in the outside world to get real money.

If I graduate from here, even if not from Class A, I will be able to get in a very good college and job in the future, that won't be toxic.

I should keep the option in case I can't find a good guy.

Well, let's see if I have her memories...

Yup. Have it.

I tried speaking, and it all naturally came in Japanese without any effort.

Thank god!

According to the memories, the school has just started today, and classes will actually start from tomorrow.

I looked at my phone, and it is still 100K points.

Great.

The only interaction she had in this school was introducing herself weakly.

So, nobody should think that I am acting differently. I can just say that I was acting in the class today during the introductions.

Well... now I have to think about how to do at the school.

I am not going to lead or anything, because my knowledge about the plot is pretty old and rusty, so it won't be entirely accurate. And once people think that I am smart, they will try to eliminate me.

And I am not smart enough to go against this country's smartest high schoolers.

Hmm... I will need to start studying so that I don't end up getting expelled due to Ayanokoji being a Horikita simp.

I will also need some good connections with my classmates, Ichinose and her class, and well... I would rather stay away from Sakayanagi and Ryuen's class.

Then, I need to improve my physical fitness, and join some martial arts club for self defence.

As for points...

I think cruise exam had a big reward, of 500K or something?

And, wasn't that exam's pattern just the names in alphabetical order?

Hmm...

Earning private points individually in special exams will be difficult.

And I need 20M points as an insurance...

OH!

Why did I not think of this?

It's 2015 right now, so...

Yoasobi hasn't been formed yet, nor the songs, which I know by heart.

I also know English very well, so...

What if I release these songs on YouTube?

Won't it blow up?

Moreover, I know Hindi songs as well, so the largest consumer of YouTube, i.e. India will make my views blow up, by a lot!

And Despacito...

Heh. I think I don't need to think small.

I can become a pretty big celebrity!

My voice is good, since Sakura had been practicing singing a lot to become an idol.

I can get the otaku guy in the class to edit my videos.

And as for music, I will need the help of the music club.

Yes.

I need to release a song, preferably idol within this month.

While the real money from YouTube will go to my bank account and not as points, I can have concerts in the school itself, which will earn me huge amounts of points.

The sooner I do this, the more points I will earn, before this year becomes cautious with their spending.

If I can sell a ticket of 10K yen to atleast 100 out of 160 students from my grade, I will get 1M even before the first month ends.

And that's not even counting the senior years, who will probably not come in much numbers since they don't want to spend points, but it atleast 10-20 students will come?

That will be 100-200K more points.

And, I can conduct handshaking events, sell my autographs, and such.

Well... It depends on how popular I become, and how I can manage to do all this within the first month, with good quality.

And, what more can I use from my future knowledge?

Kaguya-sama: Love is War... no. It was released in 2015. Probably in May or June. I might get suspected of somehow stealing someone's work even if I release mine first.

But, what about Jujutsu Kaisen?

It was released in 2017 or 18. That's a very large time difference.

While I don't know how to draw, someone in the school must.

And I won't even feel guilty of stealing Gege's work.

What more?

Nvidia's stocks.

Tesla's stocks.

Zoom's stocks before Covid.

Tiktok's stocks.

Hehehehe! Why should I dream small?

I should dream big.

With the points, if there is something that is not in school, e.g. stocks, I can order them online.

Who knows, in 6-7 years, I might even become a millionaire!

Hahahaha!

Hahahaha!

I am gonna be rich baby!
