Chapter 53: I Want a Delicious Parsnip (Daily Transition…

Shiratorizawa, lunch break.

Midorikawa moved closer to Shirabu and sighed, "...There are so many people."

Jiancheng was completely lost in the crowd, yet he remained calm. This was something he admired, so he nodded, "Jiancheng is truly amazing."

Shirabu subtly understood what Midorikawa was saying:.

Bai Bu said helplessly: "Don't praise him for everything." Really, it's because of you and all kinds of people that Jiancheng is so lawless. Yes, because he made a big splash when he debuted in the first grade, Jiancheng Xinyi's popularity has been rising. People who don't know him would think he is a new idol.

At this time, a boy wearing a Nobuhiro armband shouted, "Master Nobuhiro! Please shake my hand!"

Shirabu and Midorikawa fell into a strange silence, and their thoughts became unified once again.

That's not right. Idols at least don't have such a large fan base, and the proportion seems to be quite high.

The farmer, who was completing daily tasks that only gave experience points but no rewards, held out his hand expressionlessly when he heard this request.

The person who received Jian Cheng Xinyi's handshake began to cry violently, and then said seriously to the person walking beside him, "I won't wash my hands for this month."

Midorikawa took a deep breath and said, "No, it's true that your hands won't smell bad if you don't wash them for a month?" This is a bit strange!

Bai Bu was quite calm, "Maybe this is just a case of fans following their idol."

Jiancheng likes that trash can lid style hat, so it's normal for fans to not wash their hands.

Midorikawa: "Have you ever thought that you're not normal either?" I always feel that Jiancheng has silently assimilated many people. For example, when Shirabu saw Jiancheng eating something, he would immediately stop him. But now -

As long as he doesn’t die from eating it, it’s fine. He heard Baibu tell Chuanxi that Jiancheng has an iron stomach last time.

However, due to the close distance, the blue-haired setter's chat always involuntarily drifted towards them—

"What are your plans for summer vacation, Mr. Shinichi?" The person who said this was finally a face Midorikawa recognized. Then again, why is there a fanatical fan of Kenshiro Shinichi even in their class? Wait, isn't this guy the class monitor Shinomiya?

Midorikawa:.

So now not only the volleyball club, but even the class is going to be assimilated...

Shirabu finally spoke up at this point, his voice not loud but clear enough: "The volleyball club will have a national tournament in early August."

The IH preliminaries were in June, but the national competition was almost two months away. It was now July, and Shiratorizawa was about to start her final exams... So, to put it nicely, IH would not interfere with students' school time, but at least it was not a good thing for students to use up their summer vacation time. However, sports clubs are inherently time-consuming. When the fans heard this, they were silent for a few seconds and then started discussing it heatedly.

"Early August, Tokyo? I'll definitely go support Nobuichi-sama!"

"Me, me too!"

A handshake and oath like in an anime.

The original intention was to make them quiet down a little white cloth: ...

Midorikawa was still beside him and sighed: "That's amazing. He got everyone excited with just one sentence."

Shirabu: ...

Shirabu looked at Midorikawa dimly: "Xing sometimes you don't have to force a conversation,

He's not the type to fall into depression if no one responds to his jokes. Rather, this kind of conversation made him even more confused.

Midorikawa's eyes wandered for a few seconds, and he whistled: "Oh, oh!"

...Kenjiro's ears are red.

In short, this situation eased a lot during the final week, and Shirabu and Midorikawa didn't see how Jiancheng studied at all - he seemed to spend all his time fighting wits and courage with the coach, and perhaps even obsessed with raising pets... When Jiancheng came one morning, there was a bracelet on his wrist.

When I asked him, I got the answer, "It's the little tree's feet."

When asked who Xiaoshu was, Jiancheng said it was his new rabbit. Midorikawa was horrified and shook Jiancheng Shinichi's shoulders vigorously: "Don't hurt me even if you don't like me, Jiancheng!"

He said in a sorrowful tone, "How can you chop off a rabbit's feet just because of a disagreement?!"

farmer:……

Farmer: "No, it's not." How to explain to the NPC that it's just a dropped item,

The green-haired NPC was clearly immersed in his art. He even pulled Parsnip along with him, sighing, "Kenjiro! Don't you think Jiancheng is going too far?"

Baibu: "Calm down," Baibu held his forehead, "rabbit's fur sometimes gets tangled into long clumps, so they're called rabbit's feet."

"It is said to be something that brings good luck," Shirabu paused, "but there is no basis in reality." He shifted his gaze from Midorikawa who was holding the sword city and focused on the face of the blue-haired setter.

"And Jiancheng, can you speak in long sentences occasionally... Not everyone has the ability to read minds." Baibu sighed heavily after saying this, always feeling that his role seemed to have been swapped with Axing.

Midorikawa chuckled, and the action of arguing with him suddenly stopped, allowing the farmer to breathe again.

"I'll bring you one tomorrow," the farmer said seriously. "Thank you, Parsnip."

Shirabu: ...

"That's not necessary," Bai Bu said seriously, "I'd rather you cause me less trouble than a rabbit's foot."

At least he doesn't have to run after the coach anymore; it's scary! What's your obsession with his sweatpants? But why would Jiancheng need to increase his luck at a time like this? Could it be that he's praying for the final exams? That makes sense. After all, he's never seen Jiancheng Xinyi study. Even if he tops the entrance exam, if he doesn't study, his solid foundation will be ruined. Will Jiancheng fail this time?

Shirabu suddenly perked up.

If he doesn't pass the level, won't the volleyball team be missing a key player during the competition? Although Jian Cheng is unreliable, that's only outside the volleyball court! He is still very much needed on the volleyball court. Bai Bu said seriously: "Do you need tutoring?"

Not sure what Shirabu was thinking, Midorikawa looked at Jiancheng and then at Shirabu, and whispered a reminder: "But the exam is tomorrow, it's too late to study now..."

It's at a level where there's nothing to do even if we try everything possible.

Shirabu: ...

Shirabu: “Oh.”

Shirabu: "I'm going to the bathroom first."

He looked very calm, but in fact he had been gone for a while, because the next second he almost fell down and was supported by Midorikawa who ran over. Just looking at his back, there was a sense of desolation in his eyes. I don’t know what kind of scene he imagined.

The farmer was puzzled.

Shiratorizawa's final exam lasted one day, and Shirabu Kenjiro felt that time passed extremely slowly because he was sitting behind Kenjo and couldn't see his expression to judge the situation. When everything was settled and the teacher took away the test papers, he packed up his things and walked to Kenjo Shinichi.

"How is it?" Bai Bu tried to remain calm.

Midorikawa also comforted, "It's okay, we still have time to help you with tutoring if you have to take the make-up exam."

Jian Cheng Xinyi in front of him had a confused look on his face. He looked at this and then that, and finally said hesitantly: "...No problem?"

What an amazing mod! Farmers also need to take exams in the game. But that's not important. The player looked at the time and then politely said goodbye to the two, "I have something else to do. Bye."

If we are any later, we will be too late to catch red mullet! (Note 1) The farmer was a little anxious.

Midorikawa: ...

Midorikawa looked at Shirabu stiffly and found that the other person's expression had changed from worry to a smile.

Midorikawa suddenly felt that something was wrong: "Calm down! Calm down, Kenjiro!"

Kawanishi Taichi, who was passing by the window, happened to bump into Kenjo who was coming out, so he nodded as a greeting. Looking into the classroom, he saw Midorikawa who was desperately trying to stop people, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart -

Their class is really lively and they are still in such a good mood after the exam.

On the day the results are announced——

"I don't understand." Shirabu Kenjiro said expressionlessly.

Midorikawa Yuki was correcting his English test paper and said "Huh?" when he heard this.

"I don't understand." Bai Bu spoke for the second time.

Midorikawa Yuki paused, "What's the matter, Kenjiro? You've already said it twice."

Shirabu turned to him robotically, "I really don't understand."

"...Are you a parrot?" Midorikawa complained subtly.

Shirabu raised the paper in his hand and spread it out on Midorikawa Yuki's desk.

"I really can't understand it!" He said with a puzzled tone, "Kenjo hasn't studied at all, and look at him!" He pointed his finger at Kenjo Shinichi, who was wearing a new hat at the moment. The previous rubbish hat had been taken away by Coach Jijiang and hadn't been returned yet. After being depressed for a long time, Kenjo finally came back to life after getting a green grass-patterned hat.

Of course he did call the hat a "living hat" (Note 2)

Jiancheng, who was pointed at by Baibu, was wearing the hat and looked in a good mood. I don't know who he was chatting with, but he was tapping his phone quickly.

"He looks like a complete idiot!" Bai Bu was heartbroken.

Midorikawa Yuki: ...

The papers spread out on his desk by Bai Bu were Kenjo Shinichi's report cards for various subjects. Without exception, they were all full marks. Although his Chinese score was just barely above the passing line, it was incredibly strong. Compared to his Chinese score in the opening exam, it could be said to be a historic improvement.

Midorikawa packed up Kenjo Shinichi's test paper with a bit of tiredness and put it back on the desk of the person who was typing on his phone.

"Maybe it's talent," Midorikawa said, "but aren't you second? Why are you so worried?"

Shirabu Kenjiro turned his head away and whistled guiltily.

Midorikawa: "...You're not seeking revenge for the pile of garbage Kenjo threw at you at the club yesterday."

Yesterday, when Jiancheng was playing a cat-and-mouse game with Coach Jiujiang, he took out a black ball of garbage from somewhere and threw it at Baibu. At that time, Baibu didn't say anything and even showed a kind expression.

Now that I think about it, I still hold a grudge against him.

White cloth: whoosh whoosh.

Midorikawa: ...

[Willy: The parsnip you gave me, Jiancheng, tastes amazing!]

Willy: Oh, and I heard you guys are going to the national competition in a few days. I'll be watching from home! Go for it!

In the picture, the boy with a tuft of yellow hair in the middle of his forehead is grinning happily and making a "thumbs-up" gesture with his hand.

[Player: XD]

[Quest - Willy (Xiguxi): I really want a delicious parsnip!] (Completed)

Author's Note: Note 1: The time limit for red mullet is before 7pm

Note 2: "Living Hat" is a kind of hat. The probability of it dropping when clearing weeds is 0.001%, the probability of it dropping when clearing weeds is 0.01%, the probability of it dropping when clearing weeds is 0.02%, and the probability of it dropping when clearing weeds is 0.02%. In short, it is a hat that is rarer than the garbage hat. It looks like a grass hat.

This chapter is a transitional chapter. The next chapter will be about IH National! The competition is about to begin again! Yay! This chapter will give out 20 random red envelopes (heart). Anyway, you can check tomorrow at 12:00 noon to see if you have any. Any private messages received before 12:00 are just meaningless replies from Yami (hey).
