Chapter 19 Easy-going Strawberry-kun "Yes!" Wearing a female...

"Yes!" The girl in the maid outfit smiled brightly, but her words were merciless: "It's absolutely impossible to do it alone!"

The rose-haired boy in front of him suddenly became deflated.

Well, Rikkai University third-year student, Marui Bunta said to himself, let's try our luck in the shopping street first...

According to previous schedules, he should be doing daily training with the tennis club at this moment, but the newly opened dessert shop in Kanagawa only offers coupons on the first day, so the always honest Marui Bunta chose to take a leave of absence.

Of course, he used such a lame excuse as "something happened at home". After all, no matter how you look at it, Vice Minister Sanada would not allow him to leave training with the excuse of "wanting to eat dessert".

That would be fine, but the coupons can only be obtained by completing the game in a team of two. If you go to great lengths to take time off and still don't get one, you might as well just kill yourself, Marui Bunta clenched his fists and frowned.

But then again, he looked around the commercial street and thought to himself.

It would be completely impossible to find someone to form a team on short notice, Marui Bunta thought casually as he walked on the road and looked around to see if there was anyone who met the requirements. After all, he never expected that the newly opened dessert shop would have such a two-player game challenge.

I should have brought Kirihara here... No, Marui Bunta shook off the face of his junior that appeared in his mind. It's useless to bring Kirihara here. That guy is a complete idiot.

Marui Bunta thought indifferently.

Because Kirihara is likely to be eliminated because he doesn't understand the rules of the game, instead of wasting time explaining to his idiot juniors, it's better to find someone of similar age on the scene...

As I was thinking, I felt a pain in my nose: He bumped into someone.

"Sorry," he apologized first, but it still hurt. Marui Fumita pinched his nose and looked up, and the result was a subconscious sigh: "It's so high..."

The person in front of him was more than a head taller than him, and his hair color was somewhat similar to the Minister's. His face seemed a little confused, and he was holding in his hand -

Flyer?

It’s still the dessert shop where you can get coupons by forming a team.

Marui Bunta took a breath.

Isn't this the ideal teammate he was looking for? !

"Um, do you want to go to that dessert shop too?!" Marui Bunta chose between social anxiety and asking rashly, so he held the other person's hand and shouted, "Let's go together!"

He looks like the kind of hero who wants to team up to conquer the Demon King's castle.

The farmer who had just escaped from an inexplicable hellish scene: ...

The farmer's eyes widened.

Looking at the label of the person in front of me, "Marui Bunta (Strawberry)", I also took a breath.

Strawberry seeds actually hit me like this?!

The player couldn't believe it and checked to find that he didn't get any legendary lucky ring or anything like that. No way, he could actually encounter expensive plants today?

Or it’s Iridium like parsnip!

The farmer understood that this is what is called "misfortunes often bring good fortune". It doesn't matter if you are unlucky, because you don't have to be afraid anymore and your good luck will come immediately.

The farmer, who hadn't understood what the other person was saying at all, just passed by and was stuffed with various flyers. He shook the other person's hand and nodded vigorously. There was an atmosphere of regret that they had met too late between the two of them.

He'll do anything if you give him strawberry seeds.

While everyone here was having a great time, the atmosphere among the three people in Xingping Restaurant seemed particularly silent.

Kenjo Kyosuke's hand was still in the position where Kenjo Shinichi had just pushed it away. His expression was remarkably calm, but his tone revealed the emotions of his master. He almost gritted his teeth and cursed, "That piece of shit bastard."

Matsukaze Tenma and Nishizono Shinsuke didn't dare to say a word and could only communicate through eye contact.

So what is going on???

It seems like Jiancheng and his brother have a very bad relationship!

But they couldn't just stand there forever. They hadn't forgotten that they had to go back to gather, so they could only laugh while sweating, "That Jiancheng classmate, shouldn't we go back... Captain Prodigy might be waiting anxiously..."

His tone softened unconsciously at the end, because Kenjo Kyosuke in front of him suddenly smiled and turned to where Matsukaze Tenma was standing. "What did he just say to you, Tenma?"

Matsukaze Tenma: ...

No matter who saves him, I should have known not to talk to Brother Jiancheng!

Shinsuke Nishizono gave him a helpless look.

"No, nothing."

Kenjo Kyosuke walked closer, "Really? No..."

The subject suddenly changed.

"Did you just see clearly his current school? Where is it?"

Matsukaze Tenma:.

Think quickly! Jiancheng classmate has completely gone crazy!

"That, uh..." I wasn't paying attention at all!

At this time, Nishizono Shinsuke slapped his head and said, "It's Shiratorizawa!" He just saw clearly that the logo on the purple and white sportswear clearly had the three words "Shiratorizawa" written on it.

Matsukaze Tenma:.

Matsukaze Tenma sheds noodle tears, great for Shinsuke!

The air could flow again. Kenjo Kyosuke took out his phone and started typing. Finally, he edited a message and sent it to the person at the top of his communication list. Only then did he have time to deal with them. "Let's go."

He opened the door and walked out first.

Bunta Marui and Shinichi Kenjo were standing in front of a machine.

"So it's a street game..." the third-year player from Rikkai University said, almost uttering a word, "I thought it would be a puzzle game..."

A puzzle game that you can't beat unless you understand the rules, and a street game that's completely incompatible with a dessert shop. How should I put it, I feel a little disillusioned...

But he quickly cheered up and looked at Jiancheng Xinyi next to him: "Okay! Let's take it down in one go, Brother Jiancheng!"

Farmer: “Yeah.”

They had already exchanged names on the way here. When Marui Bunta found out that the blue-haired boy in front of him was a freshman in high school, he called him "Big Brother". He said it was out of respect for his seniors, but in reality -

'It's like playing a Yakuza game!' Marui Fumita thought, pursing his lips.

It's actually a case of Chuunibyou.

The arcade machine was opened with the help of the store clerk. The first thing that played was a cheerful music, and then the name of the game popped up on the screen: "Grassland King's Adventure" (Note 1)

Bunta Marui:......

Marui Bunta: So earthy

It's a bit like the pixel game that was popular a few years ago, he thought as he pressed the confirm button to select the character.

We should be able to win soon, right?

When he saw only a monster character wearing a helmet appear on the screen, Marui Bunta was still wondering why it took two people to complete just one character.

When he lost two drops of blood and faced the second wave of monsters, Marui Bunta's expression became serious. Okay, let him try this game for a while.

When surrounded by four monsters, Marui Bunta looked as if he was about to convert to Buddhism in the next second.

No, he had a maturity on his face that was not what a middle school student should have. This game was not something that a human could complete in one go.

What a sinister dessert shop!

Since each person only had one chance, Marui Bunta made way. "Brother Jiancheng, you can try it, but I feel like this game is just a scam to trick customers." He touched his chin, revealing an expression that said, "There's only one truth." "Looks like we won't get the coupon."

"But it's okay. I just want to have one of the desserts, so it should be enough. It doesn't matter if I don't have a coupon."

"Brother Jiancheng, please don't feel burdened."

——The clerk set off fireworks next to him.

The maid smiled and said, "Congratulations!"

Marui Bunta: “Huh?”

The maid handed them a stack of coupons and started clapping.

Bunta Marui:......

Marui Bunta turned his head sharply, his eyes widening: "Huh?!"

The four big words "Congratulations on completing the game" also appeared on the arcade machine.

The person in front of him was very calm, as if the game in which he had just beaten Marui Bunta into a pulp was just a piece of cake, and his expression didn't even change much.

"Is it difficult?" the player was confused.

Marui Fumita said seriously: "Are you the legendary God of Games? Jiancheng, no, please let me call you Brother Xinyi!"

More like a Yakuza player.

The player pinched the coupon given to him by Marui Bunta, pondered for a moment, and said to the person who was already eager to try the desserts in the store: "Exchange."

"Exchange? Exchange for what?" Marui Bunta said with a dotted look, "Brother Xinyi, don't you want the coupon?"

The farmer nodded, then thought for a moment, "Do you have any sugar?"

This seems to be the easiest plant NPC to exchange. By the way, it would be great if all plants could be like orange trees.

Marui Bunta then used all his bubble gum to exchange for Kenjo Shinichi's coupon.

Both sides felt they had made a fortune.

When they finally parted ways, they added a line. Marui Bunta stood on the street and waved vigorously to Kenjo Shinichi, who was still at the entrance of the commercial street, with tears of emotion in his eyes: "I will always remember you, Brother Shinichi!"

Good guy!!!

The farmer also liked this human-like plant NPC, so he waved vigorously as well.

Then I found that the plant NPC was pulled away by a strange man wearing a hat.

farmer:……

I don't know why, but I feel like Strawberry is going to be miserable.

The farmer crossed himself and decided to give him a strawberry whenever he had a rabbit with an extra leg.

Good luck Amen.

Then again, the farmer showed a pensive expression, as if he had forgotten something.

*

At this moment, Shirabu Kenjiro and Kawanishi Taichi, who were waiting for someone at another entrance with their arms folded, said:

It seemed like a crow was passing by overhead.

The sun had already set, leaving only a little afterglow in the sky. The people in the commercial street were almost gone, and several stores had put up "Closed" signs.

Shirabu Kenjiro looked at Kawanishi Taichi and said, "Tell me, was Kenjo kidnapped?"

Taichi Kawanishi: "..."

Kawanishi Taichi: "Don't look like there's such a good thing, Kenjiro."

"whispering sound."

“…”

I always feel like Kenjiro Shirabu seems to have unlocked some extraordinary personality.

The author has something to say:

----------------------

Note 1: Prairie King's Adventure: The arcade game in the Stardrop Saloon in Stardew Valley (but I've never been able to beat it, so the farmer's victory here depends entirely on the strategy post, Memi-san is a game black hole, but cheat, Jiancheng-kun! I've gone off topic again, eyes shift) After completing the game, the player will get an arcade machine, which is also related to Abigail's two-star story (I should write about it later? Probably)

(By the way: Ushijima-senpai was in faraway Kanagawa and was about to treat a farmer to ice cream but he never showed up. Tendo, who was standing next to him, said that if Kenjo-kun didn't come back, he could treat him to some. Oh, and he wanted chocolate flavor. Senmi Eita told Tendo to stop bullying him.) (...Is this considered a small drama?) (He started thinking again.) (But the farmer did get to eat it in the end.) (However, the farmer bought some ice cream for Alex himself to apologize to Shirabu and Kawanishi.) (Congratulations. Congratulations.)

Finally, the last chapter: I have read the manga to chapter 40! See you tomorrow, adults (sticky post) (will be updated at 0:17) (actually, we will see each other again in an hour) (hello) (will also be updated on the 22nd, but still at 23:00, no update on the 23rd)
