Chapter 104: Update 1 + Update 2: Players enter the semi-finals of the national competition! ...
Higachu couldn't understand why Shitenhoji could be so extravagant and inhumane.
No, those are a pair of golden arms made of 999 pure gold!?
Just give it to me like that? Huh?
Nagashiro Kote hesitated to speak, then hesitated again. In the end, he remained respectful and did not comment too much.
But the Higa Central team members outside the field were not as restrained as him.
After much struggle, Higachu's Vice-President, Kai Yujiro, finally asked the Shitenhoji members a sincere question in a slightly awkward accent, as he tried to maintain his composure.
"You guys...really just going to give that to that guy from Rikkai University?"
Hearing this, the Shitenhoji members, led by Kenya Oshitari and Mitsuru Zaizen, looked at him in surprise, then at each other, each with a somewhat strange expression.
The others in Higa watched, thinking, "That's only right! How could a minister be so wasteful? That's 999% pure 24k gold. Just giving it away without regard for his companions' wishes is too—"
"Oh, that," Zaizen Hikaru scratched his head sheepishly. "Haha, Shiraishi actually didn't say enough."
"If Yagi-kun needs it, ten pairs is actually nothing. After all, our net worth is completely--Mmmmm!!!"
The honest boy Zaizen hadn't finished speaking when Golden Koharu and Ichiuji Yuji appeared from the left and right, each covering his mouth with one hand and dragging him backwards.
"Oh my, Zaizen-kun, don't be so honest and betray Daring's information at this time~"
Golden Xiaochun narrowed her eyes and smiled, putting her finger in front of Zaizen Guang's mouth.
Ichiuji's face was serious, "Whoever Koharu wants to protect, even if it's a love rival - I will protect him for Koharu's happiness!!"
“…”
Higachu looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although there was a moment when I felt that Shiraishi Kuranosuke, the head of Shitenhoji Temple, who could easily give away gold, was a fool with a lot of money and was too generous,
But now looking at the situation of the Shitenhoji members...
No, are they really normal?
Their money... wouldn't they be exchanging their mental state and brain for it?
Golden Koharu and Ichiuji Yuji sang in unison, and together they performed the Koharu and Yuji version of "Yumio and Golden Liye".
On the left, he hugged the innocent Zaizen Hikaru's waist and asked, "Romeo~Are you my Romeo?"
He pulled the poor Zaizen Guang's arm and gritted his teeth, "No, Jin Liye! I am your Yumio--!"
The innocent passerby Cai Qianguang has become a part of their play.
Higachu witnessed this and took a step back in unison.
Of course, there are still normal people in Shitenhoji Temple.
Chitose Chisato, who was silent, loosened her tightly clenched hands and slightly anxious heart, and caught Shiraishi coming down from the court with her eyes.
He casually lifted Dingzi's slightly curled brown hair, twisted a few strands of hair, and looked over at her with a slight tilt of his head.
"How was it? Did you learn anything from this battle, Xiao Jin..."
He paused slightly when he saw Toyama Kintaro's expression, and Shiraishi raised his eyebrows lightly.
Kintaro Toyama did not look away.
A pair of eyes, shining with golden light, stared straight at the other end of the court.
His eyes, his expression, his whole body were burning, and his powerful aura slowly emerged and blossomed.
The powerful pressure gradually spread, enveloped, and descended. It was so heavy that anyone standing in this area could definitely feel it, and there was even a hint of suppression.
"Oh~Oh..." Shiraishi twisted his hair and sighed casually. Ken'ichi Oshitari, who had been keeping an eye on Kintaro Toyama's condition from beginning to end, was struggling to resist under such a suppressing aura and did not dare to move away.
After all, this kid on their side...is not a worry-free junior.
God knows what he will do if he gets excited and into the mood, if you don't keep an eye on him.
Ken Oshitani, who had been guarding for a long time in fear, immediately handed over Shiraishi and left when he saw his fate.
Shiraishi's eyes met with the silent Chitose Chisato's, and a smile appeared on his lips. Shiraishi was about to say something, but Chitose Chisato had already looked away.
He looked towards the Rikkai University team who had finished packing and were about to turn around and leave.
Amidst the neatly-made Rikkai University uniforms, beneath the heavy, silent yellow, there is a dazzling gold that will never be concealed.
Brilliant and dazzling, the brilliance is magnificent.
"Interesting... Really interesting..."
A low murmur sounded, and Bai Shi rolled his eyes.
Then Kintaro Toyama, who had been staring at them excitedly and fanatically, finally spoke. He couldn't suppress a smile on his face when he said this.
"I really want to fight Yagi Yagi faster...faster."
"Shiraishi,"
Toyama Kintaro raised his head. His childish face, with pupils almost as golden as gold, was slightly erected and condensed into two sharp points. He was extremely happy, as if he had caught the butterfly destined for him.
“——I’m really looking forward to it!!!”
“…”
Shiraishi Kuranosuke was quite helpless. When he looked up again, he was already folding his arms and looking at the back of Rikkai University leaving the venue.
“Well—”
...As for monsters that can grow, they have one here too.
I just don’t know what the battle between monsters will be like.
Seigaku and Hyotei, who were watching the game outside, greeted each other after Rikkai University came out and then dispersed and left.
For Seigaku and Hyotei, this match undoubtedly reinforced their awareness of the strength of Kaidai and Yagi Kei.
In the end, there is still a battle with Rikkai University. Whether it is against Hyotei or Seigaku, it is a battle of revenge.
But - before that, there has to be a competition between Hyotei and Seigaku.
Only winners can move forward.
The moment they turned around, the expressions of all the people in Seigaku led by Tezuka Kunimitsu and Hyotei led by Atobe Keigo became heavy and depressed at that moment.
On the contrary, Rikkai University, although Yagi Kei's victory has become almost accustomed, the people of Rikkai University did not take it lightly. Marui Bunta patted the heads of each of them one by one.
"Since Kei put up such a good fight, I'm going to treat you two to some delicious popsicles~!"
Kirihara Akaya was overjoyed: "What what—there's actually a share for me!?"
"Of course - of course - it's you who's working so hard to support me!" Marui Bunta nodded readily.
Kirihara Akaya: "QAQ I'm so touched by Marui-senpai~"
He clenched his left fist and tapped his palm. "Then it's settled! Use Kuwabara's pocket money! Treat us to some ice cream!"
“——Huh?! Ehhhhhh?!!”
Jack Sangyuan was hit without any preparation, but he had no choice but to respond with a bitter face.
"Really... Bunta, don't be so violent with my pocket money..."
Some are laughing and noisy, some are quiet and thinking, and some have their own ideas.
Anyway, when he turned around, he saw that only Higachu was left alone on the huge stadium.
They looked at each other in bewilderment. The wind blew the leaves over, and a few crows flew away with a "cackle".
Chinen-Kan thought for a moment, then spoke to Bokuto Eishiro who was walking towards them.
"Mushou... do you still want to pull ○○ now?"
Kito Eishiro: ...
I've already said what the hell is this?!
Kai Yujiro looked off into the distance towards Higachu and sighed, "That scumbag coach really did leave us here alone. Now... how are we going to get back?"
“…”
“…”
In the brief silence, everyone looked at Tian Renzhihui.
Feeling a chill in her heart, Tian Renzhihui clutched her golf bag tightly and struggled to speak, "I really only have a hundred yen left for snacks. Seriously, seriously—not even a single yen left!"
Seeing that no amount of money can be squeezed out, and knowing the financial status of his own team members,
"... things will work out when the time comes."
Kimute Nagashiro hardened his heart and said, "Let's go."
“…Yes, yes…”
Under the leadership of Nagashiro Kito,
All the members of Higachu set out on a long journey home on foot.
…
[Ding!]
[New event: National Competition (Semi-finals) is now officially open! ]
【Competition first, friendship second】
【Climb to the top and become the national champion! 】
【Activity Mission·Defending Glory
Please lead Rikkai University to become the undisputed champion in the national competition! (0/1)]
【Save successfully! 】
In the national competition, Rikkai University and Shitenhoji University, both of which belong to the same division, will face each other in the semifinals.
After defeating Kabuto Gakuen in Nara, Rokkaigaoka representing Aichi Prefecture, and Midoriya representing Saitama Prefecture in succession, Rikkai University and Shitenhoji University finally met officially.
Similarly, in another semi-final, Seigaku and Hyotei met again.
The winners of the two games will determine the final championship team, and the four teams are ready to go.
In the tense and exciting atmosphere of strong calm, even the ever-victorious Rikkai University was somewhat impetuous.
On the way to the competition venue, Genichirō Sanada sat in the front of the school bus with his eyes closed and his arms folded.
Next to them were two of the three giants of Rikkai University, Yukimura Seiichi and Yanagi Renji. One of them was looking out the window with his head tilted slightly, while the other was looking down at the data he had collected and sorted.
In the middle of the school bus, Niou Masaharu was resting with his eyes closed, and Yagyu Hiroshi was wiping his glasses.
And the last row included Marui Bunta with blank eyes, and Jack Kuwahara who was silently pinching two earplugs to try to plug his ears.
There's nothing else to it, it's just because... those two guys at the back are so noisy!!
The impetuousness of the ever-victorious Rikkai University was entirely caused by those two guys!
Kirihara Akaya, who couldn't stop chattering, took out snacks, a game console, and even took out a shiny trash can lid from somewhere!
Upon closer inspection, the trash can lid is from Rikkai University!
Kirihara Akaya raised his nose and said proudly, "Kyu, look! I brought this specially for you today!"
Kelphead boasted proudly, "I even asked my mom to have it waxed and polished. Look—isn't it shiny?"
...How can it not be shiny after being waxed and polished?
Unfortunately, Jack Sangyuan, who was sitting in front of them, heard it clearly.
Marui Bunta, who was standing next to him, was in even greater distress.
A shiny dustbin lid, a hairless, shiny, braised egg head,
When put together... it was simply dazzling, killing all the onlookers without leaving a blade of grass.
Marui Bunta: Eyes!! My eyes!!!
Kirihara Akaya was chattering, and even if the juniors around him didn't respond to him, as long as he stopped to look at people in between words, the kelp-head would immediately be filled with strength again!
Hehe, in today’s semi-final, he must wear the same outfit as Kei!
Although a certain Kelp Head who was too immersed in the association of 'Rikkai Trash Can Twins' forgot for a moment that Jibai Cat had upgraded his guns to cannons and the trash can lid had been upgraded to golden arms!
Silver and iron are not as good as gold. Once the little god costume is on, it cannot be taken off.
Players are looking forward to what kind of drops the newly refreshed dungeon BOSS will bring to players.
The equipment dropped by defeating bosses in dungeons is also part of the appeal of this type of game!
While brushing the task guide and going through the cutscene CG, Yagi Kei was just dazed and empty-headed like a piece of wood from a third-person perspective.
Kirihara Akaya, who talks incessantly and every second counts, is like someone who has been facing the wall for a hundred years and has been locked up and driven crazy. He is a chatterbox who has to say something about everything.
Marui Bunta really couldn't bear it anymore, so he slowly struggled to reach out and pull the earplugs out of Jack Sangyuan's ears, and then he put them into his own ears.
Jack Kuwabara panicked: "No--Bunta!!"
Marui Bunta smiled bitterly: "I am a dead Taoist friend but not a poor Taoist, let's go together... Kuwahara!!"
Seeing that the perfect alliance of the Rikkai University Golden Doubles was on the verge of collapse before even reaching the semi-finals,
Genichirō Sanada, who was sitting at the front with his arms folded and his face as dark as coal, finally couldn't hold back and stood up and looked back.
“—It’s too noisy!”
“…”
The frightened kelp head shut up for a second, zipped up his mouth with a guilty look, and looked over cautiously.
The cat next to him didn't move, just rolled its eyes and looked at him silently.
Genichiro Sanada: "..."
His anger was in vain, so he had to suppress his emotions and sit down again.
Less than three seconds,
The chattering sound rang out again, interspersed with the whispers of a certain seaweed-headed person, "Kyu, did you see that? Vice Minister Sanada's face just now would have been completely invisible if he had stood in the shadows!"
“…”
“…”
At this moment, even Yukimura Seiichi, who was leaning against the window to look out, and Yanagi Renji, who was looking down at his notes, slowly turned their heads.
The two of them looked at each other in an instant, and the sight of them passed by Sanada Genichirō's face, which was as dark as coal, like a dragonfly skimming the water.
Hmm...it seems really dark.
Sanada sensed his gaze and turned around sharply. Yukimura was already looking out the window, and Yanagi was still looking down at his notes, with no intention of moving at all.
Sanada's anger was building up, and when he was about to explode at the two people who were still chattering behind him,
Yukimura calmly lifted the window curtain and said softly, "It seems... we've arrived."
His words successfully interrupted Sanada's accumulated anger, and the others who heard his words also opened their eyes, looked up, and paid attention.
The school bus slowly slowed down and finally stopped. The three giants of Rikkai University, led by Yukimura, stood up.
Yukimura Seiichi smiled and said, "Everyone, get ready, it's about to begin."
As soon as the Rikkai University bus stopped, members of various schools, spectators, and even media reporters who had come to watch the game gathered around.
"Here they come—they appear!"
"Hurry, hurry, hurry—keep the best camera position! The best footage! We absolutely have to get the exclusive first-hand interview!"
"It's Rikkai University! Rikkai University!!"
The car door slowly opened, and the entire Rikkai University regular team stepped out.
The leading trio, the golden duo of 'Genius' and 'Jackal', followed closely by 'The Trickster on the Court' and 'The Gentleman', and then the next to take the step—
It was wearing a trash can lid, and when the light hit it, it was radiant and shiny, and everyone present was immediately attracted by it.
“This, this is…”
"——Catch him! It's him!!"
"This is a unique, independent, and completely indifferent style of dressing!"
"The genius who came up with the idea of putting the trash can lid on his head must be that person—"
As soon as his feet touched the ground, Kirihara Akaya, who was wearing the same Rikkai trash can lid as the one used by the cat, hadn't even stood still when he was surprised and confused to find that his feet were slowly rising in the air... rising in the air...
No, why is he trapped?!
Kirihara Akaya was full of questions. He was walking in front. Although he anticipated the movement behind him, the Rikkai public turned around.
Watching Kirihara Akaya with a dazed face under the lid of a trash can, with his feet lifted off the ground...it was still a novel experience.
Kirihara Akaya struggled: "Eh, eh... I'm not that, I'm not..."
But his struggle seemed so small and powerless compared to the surging crowd.
Even more powerless was the main person who followed behind. He silently glanced at the situation in front of him and walked around it very neatly.
Kirihara Akaya who slowly stretched out Erkang's hand to try to keep him, and the cold-blooded and ruthless Jibaimao who didn't even turn his head,
For a moment, the people at Rikkai didn't know whether to remind the wrong person or the right one.
After all, it doesn't matter if you clamp Chi. After all, Chi won't just pull out an atomic bomb and blow everyone present into a mushroom cloud.
But if you clamp the chicken and the cat together, the problem will be huge.
He was still hesitant to speak, until Jibaimao came over and Jibaimao walked away.
Noticing that the NPC guiding the way did not move, the player turned back and pressed A.
Why aren't you moving, NPCs?
Poke, poke, poke.
Seeing the junior walking back and forth, he stretched out his ruthless iron finger and poked the lower back of the leader Yukimura Seiichi.
Because the action was relatively small and the location was concealed enough, Yukimura was able to maintain a smile and remain calm.
But... this can't stand the cat poking at me!!
This guy even felt that poking one was not enough, so he poked the entire row of Rikkai Public Security from left to right and from right to left with his other hand!
"...Can anyone stop him?" Marui Bunta was already unable to bear the pain of being tickled, and his whole face was shaking.
Jack Kuwahara next to him was not in a much better condition. Niou Masaharu and Yagyu Hiroshi had one smiling and the other serious, not to mention Sanada and Yagyu.
Looking at Kirihara Akaya being carried further and further away by the crowd, the Rikkai people made a difficult decision, and finally looked at him from afar.
"Akaye—hold on! We'll definitely come back to save you!!"
Kirihara Akaya, who was shedding wide kelp tears from afar: “%￥#@*&!!…*&￥￥!!”
Arriving at the first court, our semi-final opponent, Shitenhoji, had not yet arrived.
The people at Rikkai undoubtedly breathed a sigh of relief.
The group that was blocked at the door almost thought they would be delayed.
But now there is no problem. The chaotic Rikkai people reorganized themselves and picked up Kirihara Akaya, who was ravaged and had a blank face.
The staff entered the venue and the audience took their seats. The atmosphere was very lively, and Rikkai University was fully prepared.
But the entire stadium was - half empty!
The Shitenhoji area is still empty!
After waiting for five minutes, there were less than ten minutes left before the deadline for forfeiting due to lateness.
The staff had already started checking the time, and the other school players watching the game from the sidelines couldn't help but talk about it.
"Is Shitenhoji going to give up?"
"That shouldn't be the case... Shitenhoji is a regular at national competitions, they wouldn't give up so easily, would they?"
'Could it be that something happened on the road?'
“I don’t know…I don’t know…”
Amidst the noise, a clear and hard-to-ignore sound of "clicking" suddenly broke through.
It sounded very familiar, Yukimura Seiichi tilted his head slightly and looked in the direction he was looking at intuitively.
Once he took one look, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
In mid-air, a helicopter flew over with great fanfare.
As for why it was called "grand and vigorous", it was because on the ladder under the helicopter, there was a person with a rose in his mouth and his hair flying in the wind, hanging very conspicuously.
With a white suit fluttering in the wind, his tie billowing in the wind, and a face full of smudges, he began to use it recklessly—Shiraishi Kuranosuke!!
"Wait, that's—"
“Y-yes…it’s Shitenhoji—!”
“Here they come! Here they come!! They are coming!!!”
The whole audience was in an uproar, even the Rikkai public was attracted, some looked up, some raised their eyes,
Then a clearer scene came into view!
From the ladder hanging under the helicopter, a Shiraishi Kuranosuke, in just a blink of an eye, one became two, two became three, three became four——
Suddenly, all of a sudden, five people appeared in a neat and orderly manner! !
Shiraishi Kuranosuke is in the center, with Oshitari Kenya on the left and Zaizen Hikaru on the right.
And on the right shoulders of Ken'ya Oshitari and Kuranosuke Shiraishi, stood a golden Koharu!
And on the left shoulder of Zaizen Hikaru and Shiraishi Kuranosuke, there stood another Yuji Ichiuji!
Golden Koharu and Ichiuji Yuji held hands and threw out a basket full of pink roses.
From the sky, pink rose petals slanted down, spreading like a never-ending flower rain.
Golden Xiaochun: "Everyone——please bless us~~!"
Yuji Ichiuji: "That's right - bless me and Koharu!!"
The honesty between the two, the happiness and sweetness between the two,
The entire scene changed. Suddenly, it didn't seem like a national competition, but more like a nationwide wedding...
"Hey, you two, don't get off topic!"
Looking up, the honest man Ishida Gin was holding on to the helicopter's climbing rope, struggling to be the only support for the whole family and controlling everyone's life safety.
The only three who did not participate were Chitose Chisato, Toyama Kintaro and Koishikawa Kenjiro. They were the few normal people in Shitenhoji.
Chitose Chisato didn't want to participate at all, but Toyama Kintaro didn't want to participate either.
Kenjiro Koishikawa's sole purpose was to keep an eye on Kintaro Toyama and prevent him from participating.
The helicopter's propellers clicked and clattered, sending everyone at Shitenboji Temple to the ground in the final minutes of their resignation.
The pink rose rain was still floating, and Yukimura Seiichi slowly reached out and took off a petal that was stuck on his hair.
He slowly looked at the people from Shitenboji who were landing in a five-man Indian motorcycle formation, and then slowly glanced at his own members.
Finally, I slowly raised my head.
Yukimura forced a smile as he met Shiraishi Kuranosuke and his group, who were still coming down in a five-man Indian motorcycle formation.
Yukimura: "You guys, are here."
Shiraishi Kuranosuke's steps were heavy, perhaps because he was carrying a heavy burden on each of his shoulders.
Anyway, it was very heavy, and I walked to Yukimura,
This minister of a 'famous family' still managed to put on a handsome and cool smile and said with difficulty,
"Yes, we are here."
Even as he was saying this, Golden Koharu and Ichiuji Yuji were still throwing down pink rose petals.
Ken'ya Oshitari and Hikaru Zaizen were still rapidly rotating around him.
Because of the fast speed, Yukimura was forced to take a step back.
"...T-That's truly astonishing, everyone from Shitenhoji..."
“…”
“…”
"No, this isn't just shocking...
"It's totally terrifying..."
