Chapter 105: First and Second Updates Players’ Cooking Level Levelu…
With great difficulty maintaining his composure, Yukimura Seiichi tried to show the tolerance that a Rikkai University director should have.
After all, it was just a circular motion with Shiraishi Kuranosuke as the center and Zaizen Hikaru and Oshitari Kenya as the radius.
After all, it was just the sweet, loving couple, Koharu and Yuji Ichiuji, holding hands and lavishly scattering endless pink rose petals.
After all, it was just too fast, so it looked like it was going to destroy everyone who came close without thinking...
No, isn't the orthodox school at Rikkai University?!
Is the style of Shitenhoji Temple going astray?
Yukimura Seiichi forced a smile, and taking advantage of the gap in the circular motion, he quickly shook hands with Shiraishi Kuranosuke who extended his hand.
The situation was on the verge of separation. Yukimura Seiichi, who had a lot of experience in being persecuted by cats and dogs, knew very well at this moment that he must stick to his own heart, otherwise it would be bad if he was dragged into the rhythm of this group of guys.
He coughed and gestured, "Since we're here, shall we get ready to start the game?"
Shiraishi, the great and generous minister who shouldered the heavy burden of Shitenhoji Temple with a steady stride, smiled brightly.
"Of course! Minister Yukimura, for today—we're ready!"
“…”
Yukimura Seiichi hesitated to speak, like "What have you prepared?"
For example, "Actually, you don't need to prepare. It's good enough to be able to finish a game peacefully."
For example, 'Why don't we do a body search first... at least to ensure everyone's safety...'
But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back.
At this moment, Yukimura finally understood the mentality of all the schools that had been persecuted by Jibaimao.
This kind of subtle feeling...it's been a long time since he last felt this way. Ever since he was 'Gui'ed and his brain gradually became like Gui, it has been a long, long time since anything could bring him such a big shock.
Yukimura Seiichi: "Okay, okay."
He tried his best to smile, "Then we at Rikkai University...will be looking forward to it."
The handshake between the two legendary ministers was so quick that it only stopped for one frame, but the audience inside and outside the venue were still crazy about it.
"——Rikkai University! Rikkai University! Rikkai University!"
"——Tiantianbao Temple! Tiantianbao Temple! Tiantianbao Temple!"
Furthermore, there is the wonderful... strange and bizarre appearance of Shitenboji Temple, which is the pinnacle of comedy and is beyond the acceptance of ordinary people and has reached the realm of comedy art.
The curiosity of the people present was aroused to the maximum, and they were eager to see more.
All of a sudden, the cheers were loud and everyone was excited from the bottom of their hearts.
Compared to the people in Shitenhoji who were immersed in this scene and had radiant faces, the people in Rikkai, whose faces were pale and even had slight twitching in the corners of their eyes, were really shocked.
"...Did Shitenhoji evolve during this time?"
"This level of development is more of a mutation than an evolution..."
How should a normal Rikkai University face a mutated Shitenhoji?
The semi-finals will still be played in the order of S3-D2-S2-D1-S1.
The second thing to do after landing at the Shitenboji Temple, which is located at the checkpoint, is to register.
After confirming the roster of players, he finally walked onto the court in a relatively normal manner.
"——Thank you for your guidance!"
The staff waved and the referee blew the whistle.
The player sitting on the coach's chair looked up slightly, as if he noticed something.
【bite--】
[Your opponent is being matched... Please wait...]
A pair of eyes, which have a clear presence since the cutscene CG loading, staring straight in the direction of the player,
Not only Yagi Kei, but even the entire Rikkai University regular team sensed it.
The presence of those eyes and their owner was too strong, like a natural beast, full of aggression and naturalness.
Noticing the gazes from Rikkai University, Shiraishi Kuranosuke waved his hands, feeling rather embarrassed to speak.
"Sorry, sorry... this guy here seems to be a little too excited,"
"I'll ask him to be more restrained~" Bai Shi laughed and turned his head.
The half face that was half-hidden behind him was Kintaro Toyama.
Compared to the last time he fought against Shiraishi, his condition seemed more focused and more indescribable.
Rikkai's heart tightened, and he turned his head to look at himself reflexively——
Fishing without a care in the world!!
No, when and where did these buckets and rackets come from?
Even because the younger generation did not sit in the coach chair + referee chair superposition as usual, but just sat in the coach chair in a very ordinary way,
Everyone at Rikkai University was a little uncomfortable with the situation for a while.
"Is...what happened?" Marui was cautious.
His eyes wandered between Yagi Kei, the coaching chair, and Toyama Kintaro.
Jack Sangyuan expressed confusion, but was also worried.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong, and the abnormal thing must be the worst of all - a chicken breaking a cat!
As the saying goes, if a chicken is making a noise and a cat is quiet, it must be up to something.
Seeing that the younger generation seemed to be only immersed in fishing and did nothing else,
The turmoil in everyone's hearts was magnified to the extreme by panic and worry.
After repeated decisions, Kei's closest Kirihara Akari slowly raised his hand.
"How about...we take down that referee's chair over there...?"
Everyone in Rikkai looked at him at once.
Strangely, everyone understood what he wanted to express the moment he said it.
If we remove the referee's chair and give it to Jibaimao... wouldn't it be a cat toy of another level?
The referee who was about to climb onto the referee's chair suddenly felt a chill on his back for some reason, and suddenly felt that the referee's chair he was about to climb onto became very hot.
Fortunately, everyone's brains are still online, and no one is so reckless as to do something outrageous.
Otherwise, Rikkai University could also be renamed Five Rikkai Universities.
Being careful not to disturb the cat that has already entered the fishing state, the other people's communication is quick and direct.
S3 singles, Rikkai University competes against Yukimura Seiichi!
"Go ahead, Minister Yukimura, go quickly and come back quickly. Leave this place to us."
"Everyone...you must hold on."
He did not take it lightly at all. From the very beginning of the deployment of troops, he tried his best to fight quickly and decisively.
Picking up his racket and tying his shoelaces, Yukimura stood up with his coat on, and looked back at the man who was supporting him from behind... and the cats.
Yukimura took his first step toward the court.
When he looked up, he successfully met Shiraishi Kuranosuke, the director of Shitenhoji Temple.
The noise outside the stadium suddenly reached its peak.
No one could have imagined that the first match of the semi-final S3 singles would be a battle between two teams!
Kings don't meet each other, and they confront each other!
Shiraishi Kuranosuke raised an eyebrow. Although he was a little surprised to see Yukimura Seiichi, it was completely acceptable.
He even said hello with ease, "We're really on the same page. You're indeed Mr. Yukimura."
Yukimura Seiichi was not at all stingy, and said with a gentle smile, "It seems that we are in sync, Minister Shiraishi."
——A strong enemy is coming, and you need to win more games as soon as possible before the game enters a tense and intense stage.
This is exactly the strategy that Rikkai University and Shitenhoji are planning.
The two schools coincided with each other, which led to the current situation.
The first game presented everyone with a two-part battle that was worth the price of admission.
"——Haha, then I'd like to ask Mr. Yukimura for your guidance and to be a little more lenient~"
"No, no, that's not right. We at Rikkai University should be the ones saying that to Shitenhoji."
One on the left and one on the right, both smiling,
The blooming cornflowers and the blossoming white roses are full of gunpowder smell.
The Shitenhoji and Rikkai University support groups were in their positions, without any slackness.
As the two ministers walked onto the court with full aura, the expressions of the starting players on both sides who were about to play also became focused.
For Ritsu Kaida, this is the first time Yukimura has officially stepped onto the court since his full return.
Although everyone knows that Yukimura has recovered from his illness and returned with full strength,
But before witnessing him show his strength in the official competition, there is still inevitable worry.
Marui Bunta gently squeezed his palms, staring at the person on the court who was bouncing the tennis ball with a racket.
"Yukimura..."
'Son of God' VS 'Tennis Bible',
The audience was full of anticipation for this unprecedented battle combination.
Yukimura, who had taken the lead in serving, tossed the ball, swung his racket, and smashed it—"Sora!"
The battle is about to begin!
Players, slowly skip the cutscene, but unfortunately, it is not possible to skip at all.
I can only watch the special NPC on the left perform a skill animation, and the red-named NPC on the right perform a counterattack skill animation.
The NPCs inside and outside the venue were cheering and shouting one after another.
They were all shouting something like "Yes, this is the real power! !"
"The power is back! Not much, but enough!!!"
"Destroy the five senses, destroy the five senses, ahh ...
"——Tennis Bible SAMA!! Shiraishi Kuranosuke SAMA!!"
In short, it slipped away as quickly as the barrage of comments.
Forced lock, cannot be skipped,
Players can only watch and fish at the same time.
Ding! Hooked!
"Ohhh Shiraishi has been deprived of his vision!!!"
Ding! Hooked!
"This time it's touch! Shiraishi has lost his sense of touch!!"
Ding! Hooked!
"Wait... This is Shiraishi's 'Star Bible'! He added all the lost senses to the points where they weren't deprived! So clever!!"
Players kept saying "Ding! I've taken the bait!", and the audience kept commenting and cheering.
When the Rikkai public, who were immersed in the tense situation, took a moment to think that there seemed to be a tricky cat waiting to be taken care of nearby,
I was shocked and turned around suddenly.
Jibai Cat had already prepared ten dishes and a soup with a pair of dead fish eyes. When he sensed the NPC's gaze, he slowly raised his head.
“…”
“…”
"Let's eat together?"
Tennis court, competition between two departments, national competition, and ten dishes and one soup.
When combined together, it looks a bit too weird no matter how you look at it.
But fortunately, the people at Rikkai are getting used to the nonsensical and messy behavior. After all, they are just making ten dishes and one soup off the court, instead of squatting on the net and wielding a spatula to make ten dishes and one soup.
It's certainly not about turning Yukimura and Shiraishi, who are currently battling on the field, into ten dishes and one soup...
When I think about it this way, it doesn’t seem so weird... It seems quite normal in comparison?
Marui and Jack Sawahara declined the kindness of their junior. Although the ten dishes and one soup that appeared in front of everyone were bright and beautiful, with good color and fragrance, compared with the finished dishes that Jibaimao had made before, it was like a completely different person.
But the final taste and what will happen after eating it are unknown.
Now that we are about to go on stage, it is better to be safe...right.
Rikkai University unanimously rejected Jibaimao's kindness.
Even Kirihara Akaya, who had always been a Kei supporter, hesitated, and finally made up his mind to refuse with tears in his eyes.
He said with great emotion, "If it were any other time, I would eat whatever you cook, Kei... But now it's the semi-finals, Kei! I will bow down and apologize to you after this!"
Click, a player who was dealing with ten dishes and one soup, passed by A and looked at the people from Shitenbo Temple who were also watching the game anxiously.
Now that I have done it and am here, I might as well improve my favorability.
"Here, for you."
"……oh,"
While nervously staring at Shiraishi, who had been deprived of only his sense of smell, Ken Oshikazu was suddenly poked. He looked down blankly at the dish of seafood chowder that was passed to him.
He was unsure, looked at it again, and finally slowly typed out a question mark.
Seafood... chowder?
And why does it look so perfect?!
It's so perfect that it seems to be beyond the boundaries of normal cooking! !
Ken'ya Oshitari: "Where... did this come from?"
Zai Qianguang, who was just following the signal from the side and was looking for a fork to put the fresh cabbage salad into his mouth, scratched his head in a naive manner when he heard this.
"I don't know. Give me the one next to it and I'll take it!"
He answered with righteous words and was extremely straightforward and honest, so honest that no matter what he said, Ken Oshitani could not catch his flaws.
After enduring for a while, Kenji Oshiro said slowly: "Then where did that thing in your hand come from?"
Cai Qianguang turned his head and said, "It was given to me by Yishi."
He stepped back, revealing a plate of golden fried squid, which he held above his head with great care, practically worshipping it.
Ichiuji Yuji was furious: "This is a gift from Koharu! No one is allowed to snatch it from me!"
Looking straight ahead, suddenly being watched by everyone, holding the sweet, soft, and fluffy pink cake, the shy golden Koharu pointed to the side.
"Hey, hey, stop staring at me like that. It was clearly given to me by the coach~~"
All eyes converged on one spot. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Watanabe Osamu, who was the starting point of the gaze and had his back to them, was magnificently shaking a glass of liquid that sparkled like the clearest ruby, with tiny shimmers.
Looking closely again, it was clearly wine!!
Holding the shrimp cocktail between his fingertips, Watanabe Osamu seemed to be completely immersed in this wonderful dish.
"...Could it be the takeout the coach ordered?"
"Maybe it's possible, maybe..."
Since it was Watanabe who edited the meal, was it... to reassure them so they could eat their fill before heading off?!
The members of the Shitenboji team were shocked, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense.
After all, the current Shitenboji Temple has indeed been upgraded to the point where it has money but nowhere to spend it. The barbecue meals for muscle building and replenishment after training are every few days. Now, ordering food in the middle of a competition like this seems... not so bad?
After passing the psychological test and getting the 'reasonable' answer, everyone in Shitenboji immediately relaxed, ate what they should eat, drank what they should drink, and started showing off without any warning.
On the other side, the people of Rikkai University who were watching this scene were speechless. They wanted to say something, but seeing that the people in Shitenhoji were eating so happily, they had to swallow the words.
Just now, when he saw the figure of Yagi Kei coming, he couldn't help but follow him. Toyama Kintaro walked over but was caught by the sharp-eyed Chitose Chisato.
Just as he was making a big fuss to express his dissatisfaction, he looked up at Shitenbo Temple and immediately realized that something was wrong.
As for what's wrong...
Xiao Jin sniffed and smelled something, then turned around and around until he came to Watanabe Osamu, who had his back to them and was shaking his wine glass.
Toyama Kintaro called out in confusion, "Coach Watanabe?"
There was no response, so he tried to turn around and take a look—
“!!!”
“I’m spitting out blood!! Wow!!”
Chitose Chisato and Koishikawa Kenjiro exchanged a glance and rushed over immediately, only to see Watanabe Osamu's eyes dull and a stream of bright red liquid slowly spitting out from the corner of his mouth.
The reason he was standing with his back to them, saying nothing and just shaking the red wine glass in his hand—was because he had completely fainted!!
"Is this... poisoned?"
Kenjiro Koishikawa made a heavy guess. Chitose Chisato stepped forward and sniffed the patient's breath, then listened for a moment close to his chest. "He's still breathing and has a heartbeat. He's not dead."
He compared the red liquid that Watanabe Osamu spit out with the liquid in the wine glass, and a conclusion quickly emerged in his mind.
“…”
"Maybe it wasn't poisoning," he said in a deep voice, sounding a little serious. Koishikawa Kenjiro and the nervous Toyama Kintaro came forward.
"What is that? Chitose, tell me!"
Qiansui Qianli said slowly, "Maybe it's because this wine is too hard to drink."
Koishikawa Kenjiro: "?"
Toyama Kintaro: “?”
"It's so bad that... you faint?"
“…It seems that it is not impossible.”
For a moment, Toyama Kintaro and Koishikawa Kenjiro watched with their eyes wide open, unable to speak, as Chitose Chisato called in the medical staff outside the field to carry the coach Watanabe Osamu away.
While they were carrying the patient, one could even hear the medical staff exclaim in surprise, "This is really strange. They are carrying the coach instead of the athletes this year."
It seems like no matter where I start explaining, something is not quite right.
The three of them lined up and watched Watanabe Osamu leave. Then, looking back, the corners of their eyes twitched.
The people from Shitenbo Temple who stayed where they were seemed to be in... not very good condition.
Holding each other happily, holding hands, the golden Koharu and Ichiuji spun around up and down, left and right.
Kenya Oshitari, who could not help but lie on the ground and turn into a thirsty fish,
And the one who was huddled in a corner with his racket, muttering "Water me quickly, I'm a cabbage",
“…”
"Have they finally gone crazy?"
Beneath the court, a human species is exploring,
On the court, the atmosphere of the game was heated again.
The battle between Yukimura and Shiraishi, which has been deadlocked until now, is finally going to have a final outcome.
This battle between two titles, a battle between two kings, the 'Son of God' versus the 'Tennis Bible', the ultimate winner is of course -
【Skip】
"First S3 Singles Match 3, Shitenhoji vs. Rikkai University - Match Over!"
"——The score is 6:3,"
"Rikkai University wins!"
Congratulations! You win!
The pop-up window popped up quickly, clicked on the prompt, and the next second there was a [ding] sound, and the loading process continued.
[Your opponent is being matched, please wait patiently... loading...]
Yukimura Seiichi put on his coat again, like an uncrowned king putting on his crown again.
Facing everyone's attention and cheers, the moment I gripped the racket tightly, the sense of ease and spaciousness that spread from the bottom of my heart finally drove away the clouds of darkness that had been lingering for years.
Truly standing here, truly returning here,
He finally stepped on the ground again.
"Well~ What a perfect battle," Shiraishi Kuranosuke on the other side also came out of the state of suppressing his five senses. His "Star Bible" finally broke through the partial blockade of the five senses at the last moment.
However, Yukimura regained his strength and faced the battle head-on with all his strength from the very beginning, and the outcome was already determined.
He lifted his hair helplessly and laughed heartily, "After Yagi-kun, now it's you, Yukimura-kun, this is really a difficult situation for Rikkai University~"
Yukimura Seiichi smiled slightly, "The same goes for Shitenhoji. Minister Shiraishi, you still have your trump card hidden behind you and haven't really made a move yet, right?"
“Ahahaha…”
Shiraishi just smiled without saying anything, and the two shook hands again across the net.
"Then let's look forward to it, Minister Yukimura."
Bai Shi raised the corner of his lips,
Yukimura calmly responded, "Of course, Rikkai University is always ready."
The battle between the two kings came to an end as thousands of people watched.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke and Yukimura Seiichi both had smiles on their faces, one heading towards Shitenhoji Temple and the other towards Rikkai University.
The expression on his face became more and more strange as he walked towards Shitenhoji Temple, and became more and more relaxed as he walked towards Rikkai University.
There is nothing special about it. In front of Shiraishi Kuranosuke, there is a fish dying of thirst, two homies holding hands and scattering flowers everywhere, and a cabbage growing in the corner and playing with a racket.
The only three normal people were at a loss as to what to do and could only wait for him to come back with their hands spread out.
In front of Yukimura Seiichi, the Rikkai public was still frightened after witnessing Shitenhoji consuming ten dishes and a soup made by his junior and falling into such a strange situation.
That’s great… Fortunately, I’ve been persecuted by Jibaimao for so long that I’ve developed resistance and won’t be fooled so easily again…
Everyone wore strange smiles, and if they had to say anything, it was like they were thankful, cherished, and happy to have escaped a great disaster.
Until Sanada Genichirō opened his eyes, the next second he saw the cat that had run away to who knows where, rushing back again.
Yukimura Seiichi, who just came out, was robbed halfway.
There are still some leftovers from the ten dishes and one soup, so grab some of this too.
Immersed in a relaxed mood, Yukimura Seiichi still had an instinctive guard against Jibaimao at this moment, but the haze in his heart was swept away, and he knew in his heart that a large part of the credit was due to the junior.
Yukimura couldn't help but let down his guard a little, looked at the mushroom in front of him, and asked patiently,
"What's wrong, Kei, is there anything you want to say?"
The player said nothing and just kept giving away food.
Only then did Yukimura realize that the lamp that his junior was almost stuffing in front of him... well, this is... pudding, is it pudding?
It is very beautiful, sparkling with gorgeous blue-green color, shimmering with the breath of the sea, and a flower placed in a transparent glass container is like a precious and fragile dream.
When you hold it in your hand and take a first look at it, it is no exaggeration to say that it is a work of art.
【Seafoam Pudding】
This salty pudding really makes you feel the breath of the sea!
After watching the NPC take it, the player turned around and left.
Seeing the younger generation who successfully fed the animals still doing good deeds without asking for anything in return or leaving a name, Yukimura Seiichi couldn't help but feel a little helpless and relieved in his heart.
He had originally planned to take the 'pudding' back home to deal with it later, but under the influence of these micro-emotions, he made the most direct choice.
Yukimura Seiichi slowly picked up the spoon of the pudding cup.
Rikkai Public, successfully witnessed Yukimura's actions after the figure of Jibai Cat left.
The corner of his eye twitched rapidly, thinking of the situation of the members of Shitenboji after eating the special dish made by Jibaimao.
Marui Bunta had already extended his hand, Sanada Genichirō was about to say "No, Seiichi!", and the kelp head was blasted out like a cannonball -
However, none of them could catch up with Yukimura's speed, who had a peaceful expression and was full of kindness for his junior, holding the spoon in his mouth.
Yukimura's speed is simply unmatched.
One second, two seconds, three seconds,
The Rikkai people rushed over and silently looked at Yukimura who had no further reaction after holding the spoon in his mouth.
Although I have had some bad thoughts in my heart, I still dare not face the reality.
Holding onto that last glimmer of hope, Kirihara Akaya slowly extended his hand, "Minister Yukimura, are you... okay..."
“…Maa ...
Yukimura Seiichi fell to the ground with a loud bang.
Everyone jumped up in panic and scattered in all directions.
"Hurry! Call an ambulance!!!"
"Poison killing—no, love killing! No matter what, someone come and save Yukimura!!"
