Chapter 10 Chapter 10 Players discover new uses for NPCs! …
Players discovered new uses for NPCs.
While the players were diligently farming, the NPCs gathered together and chatted for a while, and then actually came up to help the players farm!
Players were shocked. Could this be a completely new way to play?
It is actually possible to help players farm by gaining the favor of NPCs. Isn’t that equivalent to hiring NPCs!
The player also checked his backpack and found that the remaining 1,062 yen was not deducted. He worked hard to eat and cooperate with the NPCs in farming, but his favorability did not decrease. Only his physical strength value dropped sharply.
When an NPC runs out of stamina, it will even automatically stop and rest on the spot, and continue to fight after its stamina is restored.
Player: !! So advanced! NPCs are like cattle and horses born to plow the land!
Kirihara Akaya hesitated: "Vice-Director Sanada...why do I feel a chill on my back..."
Sanada didn't even look up: "Hurry up, Akaya, don't let up!"
Kirihara Akaya: “QAQ yes… yes!!”
Jack Sangyuan wiped his face as his stamina ran out: "Bunta... do we really have to keep planting?"
Marui Bunta slowly glanced at the mushroom head behind him that was staring at them blankly: "If we don't help... Kei will probably just farm the fields all day..."
He sighed and encouraged, "To fulfill your promise to Yukimura, hold on a little longer, Kuwabara!"
Jack Kuwahara: "...Oh, okay."
In order to take the first graders to see Yukimura, the seven of them worked together and finally helped Yagi Kei plant all the seeds before morning.
The player was deeply moved and took out the small garbage from his backpack to reward the NPC, but was held down and hurriedly escorted to Jinjing General Hospital.
Yukimura was waiting for the members of the tennis club in the hospital ward.
Two hours and seventeen minutes had passed since the usual visiting time, and Yukimura finally couldn't hold back and stood up, wearing his hospital gown and taking a walk.
Did something happen on the way that caused the delay?
Another hour passed, and Yukimura's activities were no longer limited to the ward, but began to expand to the corridor outside the ward.
A group of hurried figures finally rushed in at the visiting time.
"S-Sorry—something went wrong on our way here, but we made it anyway, Minister Yukimura!"
Kirihara Akaya rushed to the front and wiped the sweat mixed with rain from his face.
Oh no! I'm going to meet Minister Yukimura in this state. I'm sure I'll get scolded by Vice Minister Sanada... eh?
There isn’t any!
Looking back, I saw that everyone behind me was in a mess, some wet, some dry. In short, none of the seven people were clean.
Sanada: "Sorry, Yukimura, we're late."
Liu: "Three hours and seventeen minutes, it seems that it has caught up with the hospital's visiting hours, Yukimura. Next time we will pay attention in advance."
Although he wanted to know what had happened, seeing how miserable everyone was, Yukimura didn't ask any further questions. He turned around and found a clean towel for everyone to wipe off.
After sending seven messages one by one, the people who started wiping paused and finally realized what was wrong.
"Why do I feel like something is missing?"
"I think it's a little too quiet."
“…”
“…………”
Kirihara Akaya jumped up on the spot, his face horrified, "--Kui, where's Kei?!!"
"Where did he go again?! Wasn't he just here?!"
"Damn it, you little brat, why are you still running around at this time?!"
The whole place went into chaos. Yukimura crossed his arms and smiled, but he was confused. He was not familiar with the new students and could only watch everyone search around.
Well...under the bed is fine, and in the closet is understandable, but what about the flush toilet and trash can...?
"It's not under the bed or in the closet!"
"Not even in the trash can!"
"There's nothing in the toilet either—!"
Everyone looked at each other, frozen in place, brainstorming frantically.
Yukimura: "Did our new student get lost by accident?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that everyone shuddered as if they were thinking of something horrible because of his words.
Liu was silent for a while, "No, Yukimura, Yagi...it wouldn't be an accident."
Marui Fumita said solemnly: "Based on that kid's personality...it was definitely intentional."
Sanada: "...That's really unbecoming."
Jack Sangyuan looked left and right: "But what's important now is not this, but that, that!"
Niou Masaharu rarely refrained from laughing. "...Just thinking about that kid doing something in a place with so many strangers..."
He spoke slowly, unable to speak.
Most of the Rikkai members, except Yukimura, automatically finished his words and fell silent.
willow:"……"
Liu: "It seems that this is the only way."
Yukimura: "...^^?"
"Kei Yagi, first grader from Class A at Rikkai University Junior High School, if you hear the announcement, please come to the hospital's radio station immediately—"
"Kei Yagi, first grader from Class A at Rikkai University Junior High School, your family is waiting for you. If you hear the announcement, please come to the hospital broadcast station immediately—"
The player is fishing.
The hospital’s fish pond can actually be refreshed with new fish species, and it’s raining today!
The broadcast is played over and over again, and players are fishing with their rods.
After Rikkai University had searched almost the entire Kanei General Hospital, they finally saw Kei Yagi happily fishing in the fish pond at the door.
My heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
"——That Yagi brat is there!!"
"Kyuuahhhh!! Don't move wahh ...
The stamina bar buzzed and trembled again, and the player took out a piece of seaweed from his backpack and stuffed it into his mouth greedily. When he turned around, he saw NPCs with complicated expressions standing in a row behind him.
The player thought about it, took out some extra seaweed, put it on his head and handed it over.
"Want to eat?"
Everyone: “…”
Everyone: “…Alas.”
This time, seven people were escorting him, and they put the restless Mushroom Head in the center.
It was only a few hundred meters from the fish pond to Yukimura's ward. Several people looked left and right, fearing that if they were not careful, Yagi Kei would run away again.
Players check tasks while navigating.

It’s actually a hidden achievement!!!
Kei Yagi didn't hesitate at all and immediately made a plan.
Players must work hard to squeeze out the time required to do farming, fishing, and tennis!
Start! Start! All 627 are started!!
There are no players who die of exhaustion, only achievements that cannot be obtained!
——Players want it! Players must get it!
The Rikkai people who were suppressing Yagi Kei kept looking back. For some reason, it seemed that their junior, who had been so quiet until just now, was suddenly ignited...
Jack Sanghara: "That..."
Marui Bunta stopped him: "Don't look back, don't pay attention, and don't ask. Just pretend you know nothing and saw nothing."
Kirihara Akaya: “But…”
Niou Masaharu suppressed it: "You should be quiet too, Akaya."
Sanada: "We're here."
With this interruption, the seven people who were suppressing Yagi Kei successfully arrived outside Yukimura's ward.
Feeling a little nervous for some reason, Kirihara Akaya rubbed his hands, looked at Kei who had an expressionless face, and then looked at the others.
Marui was the first to warn: "Kui, when you go in and see Yukimura later, don't tickle him, and don't steal Yukimura's things, okay?"
Jack Sanhara nodded: "Just say hello normally, don't worry, Yukimura is easy to get along with."
Nioh: "Just don't do anything weird, puri~"
Yagyu Hiroshi pushed his glasses and silently looked at the junior who was holding the trash can lid.
...Don't act weird.
But isn't this already strange?
The player skipped the conversations between the NPCs with one click, and focused on quickly following the plot 627.
Sanada was the first to open the door, "Yukimura, we've brought first-year student Yagi to see you."
Because of his health, Yukimura, who was kept in the ward by the worried crowd and did not follow the search, turned around and said with a soothing smile,
"It's good to have found it. Thank you for your hard work."
He raised his head: "Is your name Yagi? I heard from Genichirō and Renji that you..."
Yukimura saw the trash can lid.
Yukimura slowly developed a bad feeling in his heart.
Until he looked into the pair of lifeless, dead fish eyes under the trash can lid, which was shocking to his heart.
Yukimura: "...Y-It's you."
Although I had some guesses in my heart, it was still very difficult to truly realize it.
Yukimura carefully arranged his words: "Hmm... Our new student is truly a strange... well, peculiar... wonderful child."
Everyone: “…”
However, I really can't find words to praise Yukimura without forcing himself!!
And - judging from Yukimura's tone just now, could it be that Yagi Kei had already dealt with Yukimura without them knowing?!
Just imagining that scene, everyone felt a sudden blackness before their eyes.
The player, who was completely unconcerned, touched his backpack and felt a potato.
He took out the potatoes that were harvested today and smelled of soil, and quickly stuffed them into the NPC's arms, signaling the seed shop to quickly recycle them.
Yukimura was suddenly hit by a sack of potatoes: "...Huh, huh?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Marui trembled: "Kyu...Kyu, what are you doing?"
Sanada's face turned black and he was about to save someone: "That's too much, Yagi!!"
Kirihara tried to make amends for his junior who only had 35 points of favorability, "Well, maybe Kei has other intentions..."
He brainstormed, "--Maybe he just wanted to give this to Minister Yukimura as a gift or something, right?"
He winked hard at the expressionless dead fish-eyed mushroom head.
Yagi Kei: "..."
Yagi Kei: "So the recycling point isn't here."
After talking to himself, he carried the potatoes away again.
The surroundings were suddenly empty, without even a trace of potatoes left.
Yukimura smiled but remained silent throughout.
Jack Sangyuan: "Now this is..."
“…”
Kirihara was trying to make amends, "Uh uh uh... Kei, I felt that the chief's reaction didn't sound like he liked potatoes, so... I took it back!"
Kirihara asked for help: "Is...is that so?"
Yagi Kei didn't say anything, but just circled around Kirihara Akaya a few times.
The NPCs in Netlu Valley are really well done! They even change their responses based on the player's actions. It's so realistic!
Yagi Kei used the seaweed he caught by fishing to attack Kirihara Akaya.
Kirihara paused for a moment and said, "Eh, is this for... for me?"
Looking at the slippery and curly seaweed, his face turned pale.
Actually… he doesn’t really like seaweed that much.
But now, looking at the younger generation with Mushroom Head, there is a bit of admiration mixed in with the dullness... Is it admiration?
But why does Kei look at him with such admiring eyes?
Or you should just accept it first... accept it.
Kirihara Akaya struggled to grab the seaweed and held it in his hand, trembling all over.
"Thank you, Kei."
He said with difficulty, "I still quite like it... Yeah!"
The player waited for a while.
The player waited for a while.
The favorability is as dead and there is no reaction.
--fraud! !
Don’t make it so realistic even to deceive the players!
