Chapter 20: One update + 2k nutrient solution plus more players create a youth school N......

In the end, the idiot cat who had been running around in a strange school and chasing innocent passersby over a disagreement finally had his fate grab the scruff of the neck again.

Sanada was panting and holding Yagi Kei's collar, not daring to look away at all.

Marui Bunta supported himself on his knees and waved his hands, sweating profusely: "I can't run anymore... I really can't run anymore..."

Looking at the others, they were also in a similar state of disarray and sweating profusely.

Yukimura, who was connected by phone, was silent for a long time, then slowly said, "Yagi, go back to Rikkai University, go back to Rikkai University, okay?"

Player: I turned a deaf ear and only focused on the last NPC.

Echizen Ryoma, who was almost exhausted, said: ...

He struggled to form his words. "So, why are you chasing after me?"

Everyone in Rikkai pointed at the dead fish-eyed mushroom head being carried: "We are chasing him!"

Echizen Ryoma: “…”

Why is this guy still the culprit? !

He spent a long while calming down, finally shouldering his tennis bag, and turning coolly, "Since you've already caught up with him, please take good care of him. You're still a long way off!"

Knowing they were in the wrong, the people at Lihai Public restrained themselves and made way for people to leave.

As soon as the last NPC moved, the cat in Sanada's hand suddenly became restless again.

The player's NPC! The player's favorability!

There are also player tasks!!

Marui was in a panic and had a headache: "Hey hey! What's wrong with Kei?! Please be quiet!"

Kirihara almost knelt down and begged him: "Stop it... Wuuuuu, stop it, we really should go back, Kei! I really want to go back to Rikkai University now!"

"Yagi!! That's so unbecoming!!"

Echizen Ryoma's scalp tightened and he immediately quickened his pace.

The player kicks the eagle with a rabbit, and then follows closely.

Wherever Ryoma Echizen goes, Kei Yagi follows.

The people of Rikkai who witnessed this scene: "..."

Echizen, who was entangled again, endured it again and again.

It’s no big deal if you’re being followed, just pretend you don’t see it.

But this guy——why was he using all his hands and knees to climb on his head!?!

Echizen maintained his cool and handsome image, and walked forward step by step with difficulty, carrying the big chicken cat.

“…”

"puff."

Echizen turned back angrily,

"Ahaha, sorry... I really didn't mean to laugh. We've been trained not to laugh out loud unless it's incredibly funny..."

Just then, the people from Seigaku also arrived. Momoshiro Takeshi, who was in the lead, saw Echizen Ryoma from afar. He scratched his head and slowly typed a question mark.

Kikumaru Eiji, who was two steps behind, asked with concern: "How is it, Tao? How is the little one doing now?!"

Momoshiro Takeshi made a confident judgment: "I think... right now, Ryoma is having a lot of fun with that first-year student from Rikkai University!"

Echizen Ryoma, who was listening attentively, said: "..."

God damn, had a lot of fun!!!

Finally, the main force of Seigaku arrived, and for the first time, Echizen Ryoma felt so safe in Seigaku.

"Senior Tao!! Come and help quickly!!"

Momoshiro Takeshi hurriedly moved Yagi Kei down, and Echizen Ryoma finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He left without looking back, and Yagi Kei followed him without looking back.

Everyone in Qingxue: "..."

The people from Rikkai who followed: "..."

Momoshiro further confirmed his suspicions and said, "It seems like this first-year student from Rikkai University really likes Ryoma."

Echizen Ryoma felt a chill of fear.

When I recall what happened during that brief encounter... my vision goes dark again and again.

Rikkai University really couldn't do anything about this junior of theirs.

After hearing what Momoshiro said, I looked at Yagi Kei who was following closely behind the person.

Kirihara Akaya suddenly clapped his hands, "Kui did the same to that guy before!"

Everyone looked over when they heard the sound.

Kirihara: "Kei just challenged Arata from Seigaku without saying a word!"

Rikkai University: “?”

Seigaku: "It's Arai!"

Kirihara was certain: "So Kei is following this first-year student from Seigaku right now, and he definitely wants to challenge him!"

Rikkai University: “!!”

Qingxue: "!!"

--I see!

This explanation makes perfect sense!!

Liu took the phone and explained the situation to Yukimura.

After a while, Yukimura's voice came from the receiver, "...If that's the case, then there's nothing we can do."

After the player followed the last NPC for a while, suddenly another emergency task popped up.

[Sudden mission: Friendly discussion with Qingxue

The NPCs in Web Valley (Qingxue) have a somewhat superficial impression of you. To deepen their impression, try strengthening your friendship through friendly sparring!

Oh! It's a new mission after all!!

——Hard work pays off!

Ryoma Echizen seemed to be spinning around, but he was actually listening to the conversation between two people from the tennis club.

The guy following him defeated that Arai?

So now you're following him closely, including chasing him relentlessly just now... also to challenge him?

Echizen turned his head to look at the mushroom head behind him.

I don't know why this guy has to carry a heavy trash can lid, but since we're both tennis players, I want to challenge him...

"Hey," Echizen Ryoma took the initiative to speak, slightly raised his chin, and said in a clear voice, "What's your name?"

Those who are familiar with him know that this is a sign that he is interested in the other person.

And the players,

The player stared at him for a moment with dead eyes.

He turned around and walked away without saying a word.

[Echizen Ryoma Favorability +5]

The good impression finally came!

Go! Go! I don't know what this NPC is mumbling.

Echizen Ryoma, who finally showed some interest, asked: "?"

Marui Bunta, like a worried eldest son, immediately came to smooth things over: "Ahahaha... Kei, Kei doesn't mean any harm! He just doesn't like to talk much, right, he doesn't like to talk much!"

Everyone in Qingxue was skeptical: "Is he just not very talkative?"

Jack Sangyuan, the old father who came up with him, had beads of sweat rolling down his forehead: "Well... maybe occasionally, he might do something... weird, or something..."

Everyone in Qingxue: "Including now...?"

Kirihara Akaya, who was the closest, sensed something from the strange and puzzled gazes of the people from Seigaku, and exchanged a glance with the people from Rikkai University.

Slowly and stiffly turned his head away——

Yagi Kei had already rolled over on the spot into the trash can and turned it over happily, sunny and moderately.

Rikkai University: “…”

Rikkai University: “!!!”

"Ahhhh (screaming) Kei, what are you doing!!!"

“—Stop! Stop it now!!”

"Stop him! Who can stop him?!"

"Forget about turning it over, but don't wear a trash can on your body!!"

Qingxue: "..."

It seemed that in an instant, the people from Rikkai University looked a little old.

Echizen Ryoma: “…”

When he thought about the person he rarely showed interest in asking his name for ignoring him and turning around to search the trash can,

Echizen Ryoma finally managed to say after a long while, "...still a long way off!"

The practice match with Kakigi Junior High School had to be temporarily postponed due to force majeure.

However, the impromptu practice match with Seishun Gakuen went smoothly after Yukimura and Coach Ryuuzaki discussed the matter.

The player who was caught halfway through the trash can and brought in for a practice match: "..."

I waited for a cutscene CG, a cutscene CG at both ends, a cutscene CG at three ends…it never ends!!

After the Rikkai University and Seigaku regulars nodded and shook hands one by one, they lined up according to height and all looked towards the end of the line.

Echizen Ryoma, the focus of attention, slowly pulled his hat down to cover his face.

Because - the opposite side of him was empty!

This kind of scene has happened countless times today. After watching it for a long time, everyone has been able to turn around and look for the missing person without changing their expression.

"Ooooh—he actually took out a bucket!"

"And then there's... a tennis racket!!"

"Haha, why is there a Ma... Ma Za? No, where did he get that from?!"

"Never mind that for now!! This guy is actually fishing in a bucket with a tennis racket!!"

"...Are you serious? Putting aside the fishing rod and tennis racket, what's with the bucket?!"

Following the crowded crowd, both the regular players from Rikkai University and Seigaku University found the center of the crowd.

Mushroom Head was sitting on a small stool, slumped over, holding a tennis racket and staring blankly in front of the bucket.

Tezuka remained silent, and Oishi Shuichiro paused, "Um, everyone at Rikkai University, this is..."

Kirihara Akaya: "Of course Kei is fishing! Can't you see that it's so obvious?"

Dashi: "..."

It's not that I can't see it, but I never imagined it would be this way...

Gan pulled out his notebook and adjusted his glasses. "Tie a fishing line to a tennis racket to mimic a fishing rod. The chance of catching a fish in a pre-filled bucket is 0.00001%."

"Sadaharu," Yanagi said calmly, arms folded, "The data should be looked at from a deeper perspective, not from superficial appearances. Regarding your observations of Yagi, the probability of your data being wrong is 100%."

Gan: "Lian Er..."

Taocheng Wu squeezed to the front of the crowd. From the beginning, he was very interested in the boy's every move.

He also pulled in Ryoma Echizen, who was wandering behind the crowd with his hands in his pockets.

"Longma Longma, do you think we can catch this guy? No matter how you look at it, this is too weird!"

"Hmph... still a long way off."

Kikumaru Eiji and Fuji Shusuke also looked at it with a little interest, "Aaron, have you ever seen this way of fishing?"

The honest Kawamura Takashi chuckled twice, "To be honest, I haven't seen it either... This is the first time I've seen it."

"Boring." Kaidou Xun showed no interest and turned away.

The player jumped up, and everyone in Rikkai had already anticipated this and took a step back.

Qing Xue, who had never experienced such a scene, was quite confused and puzzled, looking at the several people's movements that were so neat and precise that they looked like they were copied and pasted.

The next second, there was a loud "splash" of water breaking.

Suddenly, a long, dark shadow appeared before the eyes of Qing Xue and the others.

Taocheng, who was closest to him, slowly opened his mouth. "This is... a fish, right? It's a fish, right?"

No one answered him, because everyone was stunned by the thing that was pulled out of the narrow bucket.

——It turned out to be a flounder that was two meters and three meters long!

Dragged out from such a narrow bucket,

Alive, lively,

He was even very active and healthy, happily spitting on the faces of the youth club members around him.

Everyone in Qingxue: "..."

The world seemed to become magical all of a sudden.

Qingxue's worldview is being broken down and reorganized.

The Rikkai public, who had been influenced by the players and gradually transformed into the players' shapes, had normal expressions and even stepped forward to comment and discuss.

"This time it's a flatfish, two meters and three... Judging by Kei's expression, it doesn't seem to have broken the record."

"But why flounder? Isn't it a saltwater fish?"

"There is a 97.21% probability that Yagi's bucket contains seawater."

"I see, that makes sense now! Haha!"

Seigaku, who watched helplessly, said: …

What does it mean to refresh the record?

Isn’t 2.3 meters the limit? ! !

And Rikkai University calmly said that because the bucket was filled with seawater, it could catch saltwater fish...

So terrifying!!

Everyone in Qingxue looked at each other, and it took them a long time to calm down.

I felt like my brain would get weird if I thought about it any further, so I simply ignored the terrifying and bizarre scene of the flounder jumping around on the ground and even tap dancing.

Qingxue is now completely honest, watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.

"Well... let's hurry up and have the practice match!"

"Yeah, yeah, let's go back and practice!"

After receiving the impact of the two-meter-three-meter flatfish, Ryoma Echizen and Takeshi Momoshiro next to him were silent for a while.

He had a strange angle: "So... how did those guys from Rikkai University figure out his expression from that dead-eyed, expressionless face?"

Momoshiro Takeshi: “I don’t know.”

Kikumaru Eiji interrupted: "Could it be... some kind of special telepathy?"

As they were talking, the object of their 'telepathy' had already put away the bucket, stool, and tennis racket, and came over carrying the fish.

Although I really want to endure it, I know I should stay calm at this time.

But the eyes of the Qingxue people couldn't help but look at the flatfish tail mopping the ground. Because of its lack of height, it could only rub against the ground in all directions like mopping garbage...

Momoshiro Takeshi whispered, "See? Ryoma, you need to drink more milk, otherwise the flounder sauce will be too miserable."

Echizen Ryoma strangely understood what this guy was saying: "..."

He paused and turned around, heading straight towards the player coming towards Taocheng: expressionless.

Taocheng: "..."

Taocheng: "?"

He was still whispering in my ear: "Hey, Longma, do you think he heard what I said to you? This kid won't hold a grudge, right?"

He said to himself: "Probably not. After all, this guy hasn't said anything except hello so far, hmm."

Echizen Ryoma turned away silently and tugged at his hat. He had seen this person's anthropomorphic behavior before...

It’s hard to say, everything is hard to say.

"Senior A Tao, you'd better be quiet."

Taocheng was suddenly provoked to speak: "Why Longma, do you know this kid very well--Papa!"

Momoshiro Takeshi was confused but his face hurt: "?"

Echizen Ryoma watched helplessly as Momoshiro was slapped twice in the face fiercely by the approaching flounder, raising its tail: "..."

Others: “…”

"How terrible... You're so vindictive..."

"Quickly, quickly get away and don't provoke him!"

In an instant, everyone within a five-meter radius around Momoshiro and Echizen Ryoma retreated, leaving the area completely empty and deserted.

The player who actually came over with the fish only because he saw the two NPCs here had the shiny [Pickup] sign on them said: "?"

What happened?

No matter, pick it up first and click to start!!

Taocheng was still loading. Echizen looked at the person approaching and couldn't help but take a step back.

The muscle memory of escaping from this one time is almost ingrained into my bones.

The player walked past him with dead eyes and an expressionless face. Echizen's tense breath slowly relaxed as the player stepped back.

Fortunately, fortunately... nothing was done...

For some reason, he always felt a chill somewhere on his head, as if a draft was leaking.

strangeness.

Tao Cheng suddenly felt a sense of emptiness, and lowered his head with half of his face wet.

Seigaku's official team uniform jacket! Disappeared!!

SF Express is not as fast as Shunshou.

The player hides his achievements and fame.

Echizen Ryoma hesitated: "Atao-senpai, you were wearing your team uniform just now... right?"

Taocheng Wu: "I should be wearing clothes, right? I think... I was wearing clothes when I came here. I should be wearing clothes, right? Am I not wearing any clothes?"

Momoshiro Takeshi, doubting himself, took the time to look up and said, "But speaking of which, Ryoma, where's your hat? You were wearing one just now, right?"

Echizen Ryoma: "Hat..."

So the reason why I suddenly felt a chill on my head just now was... because his hat was missing!!!

Momoshiro Takeshi and Echizen Ryoma searched for him for a long time but could not find him.

Lihai Volkswagen: "..."

Yagyu Hiroshi pushed his glasses: "Yagi-kun..."

Sanada strode over with a dark face, Jack Kuwahara and Marui Bunta took the initiative to isolate Sanada.

Kirihara Akaya followed closely and urged softly, "Kui, Kei, hand it over... The one from Seigaku is already pitiful enough, don't bully them!"

What are you talking about? Whatever the player picks up belongs to the player!

Momoshiro and Echizen turned back again, each took out a Seigaku jacket/baseball cap from their tennis bag, looked at each other, and thought of the same person at the same time.

The two fell silent at the same time.

Haha, how is that possible! What’s the point of Rikkai University asking for their Seigaku uniforms/baseball caps?

The player turned around to check the equipment.

[Seigaku Tennis Club Main Team Uniform (Taocheng Edition): The main team members of Seigaku Tennis Club wear the same uniform, showing their youthful spirit, specially provided in Taocheng.

Additional: The equipment can temporarily confuse nearby NPCs and turn them into Taocheng Wu.

[Echizen Ryoma's FILA baseball cap: Echizen Ryoma's body.

Additional: The equipment can temporarily confuse nearby NPCs, turning them into Echizen Ryoma.

The player's eyes lit up, and it turned out to be a prop that could be used to cosplay NPC.

In other words—

Click on the team uniform.

"Hey——A Tao?!"

Kikumaru Eiji turned around and saw Momoshiro Takeshi surrounded by most of the Rikkai members. He was very surprised and said "huh".

"A Tao, why are you standing there? Come back quickly."

Upon hearing this, Kirihara Akaya took a look and scratched his head in confusion. Who is this?

He showed no interest in the person in front of him, and turned around and called out, "Kyu-where's Kyu?"

Marui Bunta and Jack Sanyuan looked carefully and found that the person was really gone!

"Where did that Keina kid go again?!"

Momoshiro Takeshi Motomo stared at the chaotic scene in silence, then uttered weakly, "Eh... um, is this a prank? I'm right here!!"

He quickly remembered that he had always been with Echizen Ryoma, and immediately asked for help, "Ryoma, you——"

Echizen Ryoma stood in front of Momoshiro Takeshi with his hands in his pockets, looked him up and down, and spoke strangely.

"Senior A Tao, why did you suddenly shrink?"

Echizen Ryoma quickly accepted this and said coolly, "You've become so short all of a sudden. Remember to drink more milk every day."

Momoshiro Takeshi: “……?”

Player: “…”

The player nodded his baseball cap again in silence.

"Oh! Tao, you're here!" Kikumaru Eiji was relieved. "Just now, I didn't notice you and you ran to Rikkai University. Seriously, don't run around!"

"Oh...I..." Taocheng's face was wrinkled with pain that he couldn't express.

Kikumaru Eiji looked over again, "If you were here, then that little one—wait, why are there two little ones?!"

Fuji Shusuke narrowed his eyes and smiled for a moment, "They really are two Echizen~"

Gan pushed his glasses up. "There are two Echizens. Which one is the real Echizen?"

Momoshiro Takeshi took the opportunity to retaliate: "Haha! No matter which side the real Echizen is, they're both equally short!"

Echizen Ryoma: “…”

Meanwhile, the Rikkai public, searching the world for 'Yagi Kei', turned a deaf ear to them and hurried past them, shouting helplessly as they passed by:

“—Did you find it?!”

"No, no, not in the trash can!"

"There's no pool either!! There's no tennis club either!"

"Where are you! Kei?!"

Qingxue looked at his two juniors again and felt relieved.

Haha, it’s just two Echizens. Unlike Rikkai University, who knows where the juniors have gone.

Such a comparison really makes us less worried about their descendants.

Everyone in the Seigaku school couldn't help but look at the two Echizen Ryomas with loving eyes, like they were looking in the mirror.

Echizen Ryoma: A chill.

The player cosplayed as Ryoma Echizen, coolly following the Seigaku team, coolly entering the tennis court, and coolly beating up the Seigaku members.

Especially when running in circles, he would sprint, double jump, and roll onto the ground, creating obstacles here and there, forcing these people to run around in panic, howling like ghosts and wolves.

On the sidelines, Ryuzaki Sumire and Tezuka Kunimitsu sighed, "It's rare to see Ryoma so dedicated to the tennis club's training. He even pushes the others to follow suit. It's truly remarkable."

Oishi agreed, "Yeah, Echizen is starting to look like a regular."

Kikumaru nodded: "That's right, meow, you did a great job, little one~"

He turned around and said, "You're right! Lazy little number two!"

Former Echizen Ryoma, now Little One No. 2: Silence

He opened the can as if nothing had happened. Ponta mumbled, "Not even close."

"Damn it! You're still pretending to be cool! Try to be more honest and learn from Little One!"

Kikumaru was playing around with him, and Tezuka crossed his arms and followed Echizen Ryoma, who was making the Aogaku Club members miserable.

Fuji Shusuke: "Tezuka?"

Tezuka Kunimitsu: “Yeah.”

Fuji Shusuke watched Tezuka Kunimitsu enter the court and saw him eye to eye with 'Echizen Ryoma' who finished with a perfect backflip.

Tezuka lowered his head, and 'Echizen Ryoma' raised his head.

Two expressionless faces and two pairs of dead fish eyes.

Player: Oh! Trash Can NPC!

The way players remember to make him speak is...

With a "quack", Echizen Ryoma stepped on his foot.

Fuji slowly opened his eyes: ...

Ryuzaki Sumire smiled and looked puzzled: ...

Oishi and Kan always feel that this scene is so familiar: ...

With a 'crash', Echizen Ryoma, who was holding Ponta, spilled half of it. The cat Kikumaru, who was attacked, screamed and jumped away.

"Tiny Two!! How could you attack me with a Ponta!!"

'Echizen Ryoma' released his foot, and Tezuka took a deep breath, "Echizen No. 1,"

'Echizen Ryoma' stepped on it again with a clatter.

Tezuka Kunimitsu: “…”

Hehe, interesting!

The interaction with this NPC is really interesting!

Echizen Ryoma began to step up and down again.

Tezuka Kunimitsu: "You want,"

Tezuka Kunimitsu: "Become,"

Tezuka Kunimitsu: "Seigaku,"

Tezuka Kunimitsu: "Yes,"

Tezuka Kunimitsu: "Pillar."

Happy times are always short, and equipment skills are on cooldown.

So, the old-looking Rikkai people gathered at the entrance of the tennis department.

When he looked up, he saw that his junior who had been hard to find had suddenly become the pillar of the Youth Academy.

No, what the hell?

Several people from Rikkai University rushed forward, "Sei Gakuen, wahhhh, give our Rikkai University juniors back here!!"

When they opened their eyes and saw that the person playing with Tezuka as if he were stepping on a trash can was from the neighboring Rikkai University, everyone in Seigaku couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, fortunately, it wasn't Echizen who did such an offensive thing, it was that guy. Hmm, that's acceptable, acceptable...

Qingxue:......

Wrong? ! !

This guy is offending Tezuka! !

"That kid over there—you, you, you, let go of Tezuka, ahhhhhhh!!!"

The author has something to say: Players: Interesting, I’ll come often next time!
