After receiving a letter from his grandfather, the player finally escapes Joja and inexplicably transforms into a high school student, inheriting his grandfather's farm in Miyagi Prefecture.
Chapter 137 The Real World Standing at the gate of Karasuno School, the farmer...
Higashimine Asahi, male, sophomore at Karasuno High School, main attacker, feels a little confused about the situation.
Until he saw Jiancheng standing opposite the net and preparing to serve, he still didn't realize why he started training here inexplicably?
Xi Gu, who was standing not far behind him, shouted passionately, "Come on!"
It seems that he is eager to receive the ball from Kenjo Shinichi.
"Oh!!" Tanaka also shouted from the other side of the net. He shaved his hair off after the Spring High School defeat, supposedly to show his perseverance - although he soon regretted it and said that now everyone in the class said his hair looked like a monk's head.
Yoshishita and Kinoshita were in charge of the referee position, holding whistles in their hands, with confused expressions, not knowing whether to blow the whistle or not.
Sawamura sighed, "...Mind your image, you two."
But after thinking about it, it was 3v3 after all, so I just let them go. Anyway, they won't meet Shiratorizawa before IH at least.
Dongfeng: ...
Just hold on a little longer, Captain!
“Beep—”
The whistle blew, Jiancheng Xinyi stopped spinning the ball, and then threw the ball up with his right hand.
A left-handed serve right from the start? But he could find the landing spot. Nishitani's eyes moved, quickly determining where the ball was coming from. Then, he bent his right leg slightly and stretched his arms forward to catch the ball. However, the ball, unlike the expected slowdown when it made contact with his body, accelerated in the opposite direction and flew out of the court.
“…”
Sure enough, Nishitani pursed his lips. He had seen Kenjo Shinichi serve many times and had received it a few times before, but he still couldn't receive it on the first ball. To be honest, every time he saw Kenjo, he felt that his serve was different. Was it because he had grown taller and stronger?
Sugawara's voice came to my ears, "Don't mind Nishitani, try again on the next ball."
"Of course." Xi Gu adjusted his breathing and responded loudly.
“So strong—!”
"As expected of Shiratorizawa," Kinoshita's eyes widened a little, "Come to think of it, I wasn't here before, when Kenjo-kun came."
"...Ah." Yuanxia was also a little embarrassed, "It was during the time when Coach Wuyang was taking a break."
They had all been sneaking around for a while, and the training at the beginning of the school year was really tiring, so they inexplicably felt understanding for Dong Fengxu's behavior.
"Come on Nishitani!" Yuanxia shouted, "Next ball!"
Kenjo Shinichi served again.
*
"Date Industries' weapon is the net."
He knew this before the game. Dongfeng had this thought in his mind as he watched the ball flying towards him.
As an ace, his weapon should be spiking and scoring.
But he retreated in the face of an iron wall of blocking during the game.
Nishitani tried desperately to catch the ball but couldn't dunk it onto the opposite court and couldn't score any points. He didn't even have the courage to swing his arms again.
And now, facing Jiancheng, who has an absolute weapon like serve, Xigu also has to face the pain of not being able to score points and not being able to receive the ball.
It's the third point. Nishitani is a very good libero. He came to Karasuno from a strong team just because his school uniform looked cool. Although his achievements are partly responsible for this, in the final analysis, no matter where he goes, it will be suitable for him. This is what Tohmine has always thought.
Inside that small body is the courage that Dong Fengxu himself never had.
And now, Kenjo Shinichi seemed to be holding a personal serving show in Karasuno. Although he only changed his serving hand, it was still difficult to resist.
"Xigu," Dongfeng Xu looked back at Xigu Xi with some worry.
Even Xi Gu would feel disappointed when facing such a powerful enemy.
But he saw that Nishitani's face was full of unwillingness. When he missed the ball for the fourth time, he ruffled his hair like crazy, "Damn it!"
"One more goal!" Nishitani shouted.
"Doesn't this mean we're here just to accompany Nishitani to practice?" a first-year student complained quietly.
"Is Jiancheng-san not dissatisfied?" another person said, "In fact, he looks quite happy."
Dongfeng then turned his gaze to Jiancheng Xinyi again.
The other party held up the ball passed to him from below, his brows curved, and he really looked like he was in a good mood.
Dongfeng's tense heart suddenly relaxed.
After all, he continued playing volleyball because he loved it. How could he give up just because he couldn't spike the ball?
Nishitani didn't get frustrated when he couldn't catch the ball, because only by constant practice and persistence can he succeed... After figuring it out, Dongfengxu's expression relaxed, and he slapped his face hard until two exaggerated handprints were left.
"bring it on!"
Sugawara:…
Sugawara: "How come you were also infected by Nishitani?"
Tanaka: "Oh la oh la! Come on!"
“…”
You're on his team!
Sugawara slowly closed his eyes.
*
After the fight, Nishitani and Kenjo Shinichi shook hands and then said loudly, "If this were a proper match, we would definitely lose miserably!"
After listening to Willy's words, the farmer nodded, put on the coat he had just taken off for exercise, and when he felt the vibration of his cell phone, he took it out and found several missed calls and text messages from Parsnip.
farmer:……
If returning to the beach with a full load meant being attacked by windweed when returning to the fixed venue, he chose to give up.
Willy came over, his expression shocked, "Did you actually sneak out?"
The farmer's eyes were dead.
The damn mission actually set him up.
He clenched his fists, looking like he wanted to punch himself to achieve the effect of turning back time.
But apparently, Star Valley doesn't have a save system.
Clint pushed his way out from the crowd, as if he had something to say to him.
farmer:?
*
Dong Fengxu finally squeezed out from a group of people who welcomed him, a coward, back to the team. After thinking about it, he decided to say something to Jiancheng.
"Sometimes I really feel like you're amazing, Shinichi," he said, scratching his cheek. "Playing volleyball feels like playing a simple game."
Seeing Jian Cheng Xinyi's confused face, he smiled and continued, "Of course, it doesn't mean that you don't work hard, it's just that sometimes you feel this way, including in life."
Then he pursed his lips and continued seriously, "But today I understand that no matter what, everyone's life is chosen by themselves. It's just that," he shook Kenjo Shinichi's hand and said, "I am very grateful to you for pulling me in despite my struggles, no matter what your feelings were."
"But as for the results, thank you. Otherwise, I don't know how much longer I would have been stuck in that stupid situation."
"Anyway, if possible, tell me about the world from your perspective next time."
Dong Fengxu released his hand and breathed a sigh of relief. "It doesn't matter if you're a blacksmith or a farmer, it's all fine."
Nishitani also came over and shook his hand, smiling, "And me, let's go fishing together next time, Shinichi!"
The farmer tilted his head and looked at his hands in confusion. His hands had distinct bones and his fingertips were slightly warm, still retaining the warmth of the other two people.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end, no words came out.
At this time, Sugawara interrupted, "Actually, he just did it for fun."
"Eh?" Dong Fengxu's expression changed. "No way?!"
Sugawara brushed him off, expressionless, "That's it. Also, you have to make up for the training I'm owed."
Nishitani's face was filled with sympathy: "Come on, Xu."
Dongfeng: ...
"How cruel." A faint Buddha's light appeared behind him.
"Hey, hey," Sugawara said, looking towards Kenjou who was standing at the entrance to their gymnasium, "By the way, Kenjou-kun, don't just stand there. Didn't Shirabu-kun say in a text message that he'd be arriving in Karasuno soon?"
"Don't be in a daze," he added after thinking for a moment, "it's time for you to return to the real world."
Jiancheng Xinyi, who was talking to him, stood there as if he had heard something strange. After a while, he slowly blinked his eyes.
"The real world."
The voice was low and somewhat strange as it repeated Sugawara's words.
He knew this wasn't Pelican Town, but the NPCs in the setting were all there, so he immersed himself in the strange game system.
Now they wanted him to see the real world.
Still holding the fishing rod in his hand, he put the tools back into his backpack, but his heart was beating in his chest little by little as if in panic.
The sound in my ears is getting louder and louder.
What is real?
While walking on the road, the surrounding scenery keeps changing, and his walking special effects follow him like a shadow. By clicking on the top, you can see the tasks you have completed and the letters you have received before.
What is the real world? A voice in my heart asked.
Mr. Qi, whom I met before, did not delete these strange bugs and settings, and the people around him did not notice anything wrong.
What exactly is untrue?
Standing at the school gate of Karasuno, the farmer still couldn't find a definite answer.
What's wrong?
He couldn't figure it out.
He looked at the man with a "wind-proof" hairstyle who appeared from outside at this time for a while, feeling a little confused.
Would the parsnip know?
The farmer thought, but then quickly dismissed himself.
Parsnips are plants.
He told himself so.
*
Baibu originally came here with resentment. After all, Jiancheng always ran away for no apparent reason and left a mess for a bunch of people, and he would still be laughing alone while others were in a mess.
But the moment he saw the person standing obediently waiting for him with a backpack on his back at the gate of Karasuno School, especially the moment he saw the other person's expression.
Why does he look like he just woke up and found his family gone? Bai Bu thought to himself, his movements slowed down a bit, and he finally stared at Kenjo Shinichi's somewhat hateful face for a while.
The other person also stared at him, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, his eyes just trembled slightly, and then he remained silent.
Forget it, Baibu thought.
But the expression on his face was still very sour, but the words he spoke were a little softer, "Let's go."
He turned around and made sure that Jiancheng Xinyi had caught up with him before he curled his lips and spoke in a somewhat flat tone.
"Go back to Shiratorizawa."
-----------------------
The author has something to say: After thinking about it, I'd like to give you a complete explanation:
Actually, there were originally two lines here. One is the TE (true ending) that everyone sees, and the other is that the farmer continues to immerse himself in his own false reality (but in the end, it was chosen that it would be better to let the farmer face reality). When Mr. Qi first appeared, he could actually make a wish to make the Stardew Valley system disappear (when Mr. Qi first met the farmer, he said, "Waste your precious wishes here"), but the farmer himself was not willing to do so (he knew that he had traveled through time, but he had the system so it didn't matter, so he was actually taking things as they come) because he was forced to return to this world (sad). It was actually mentioned in the previous extra story, and it was actually a bit of a hell joke. The farmer's appearance was due to the mistake of the gods (two gods, one is the god of the world, and the other is Mr. Qi) (sad). In fact, there was a reason why the dog bot also became like this (traveling through time several times led to confusion in his concepts), and he was not actually very old when he went to Joja (but he was an adult).
In addition, I would like to add:
1. Although the volleyball Joja is a club, in the beginning Joja was really a company (the farmer worked hard for several years and finally returned to high school).
2. The difference between the Stardew Valley game timeline and the Hail the Dragon timeline (the first time I was sent back by Qi Shen was when I was about 10 years old, and then I grew up freely in the world of Stardew Valley until I entered Joja, but the flow speed of the two worlds is different, so I was a few years younger when I came back)
3. The farmer's journey probably took him from World A (the original world, but it's so long ago that it's not very important, and the farmer doesn't really remember it) to World B (Stardew Valley, where he grew up a few years ago, probably kindergarten), to World C (Volleyball World, which is his current world), then back to World B (Stardew Valley, where he grew up and entered Joja, but because of his soul, he can't return to Pelican Town; his anchor is with Yuichi), and finally to World C (his current world).
4. After knowing that he had traveled through time, the farmer no longer called himself a player. I wonder if you have noticed this (tears). In the chapter "The Truth of the World", the farmer thought, "Since this is the case, I am still a farmer, so it's okay." After that, the farmer deceived himself. Although we are all human, it doesn't matter because there are settings, it doesn't matter because there are systems, and it doesn't matter because there are tasks (but in general, he still knows that he doesn't belong here and can't see the real world). (The player's mentality is self-entertaining) (Plus, he is a lawful player) (For example, for example) (Inexplicably praising)
But even if he can't see the mine, playing volleyball is still very good (don't worry, everyone). It's just that in the next chapter, you will find the fun of volleyball (this kind of)
It's probably the moment when I became a human.
