Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Players begin the school ranking competition! ...
Finally, he found the correct recycling bin at the entrance of the student cafeteria, and Yagi Kei stuffed all the fruits of his hard work in fishing and planting into it.
Repeat the process of getting up to water the plants, fishing, tennis club training, fishing, and occasionally doing some check-in tasks for 627 days a week.
Finally—the player saved up 10,000 yen!
The Rikkai University Farm Tool Shop was unlocked by talking to the NPC on campus in Wanglu Valley. The player bought a primary sprinkler and successfully freed his hands.
Although this consumes a lot of money, it frees up a lot of time for watering the plants every day, so players can devote more to fishing!
Players maintain the frequency of visiting special NPCs every other day and do not forget to improve their favorability and complete collection tasks.
The potatoes are ripe again, and the player once again runs through the map with green onions on his head for one hour and forty-seven minutes before reaching the special NPC.
Yagi Kei: "Hello."
Yukimura involuntarily walked to the door when he heard the familiar bang bang sound: "...Well, good evening, Yagi, you came here at this time today..."
Mushroom Head, wearing a garbage hat, ignored the special NPC's mumbling and walked into the ward as if it was nothing special, like a cat returning to its territory, wagging its tail and patrolling everywhere.
What is this? Chewy cookie, touch it!
What is this? I've never seen a potted plant before. Touch it!
What is this? A half-empty glass of water. Touch it!
This is……
Yukimura was helpless, "Yagi, you can't eat that. It's better to put it down for now."
The player ignored the NPC's reminder, and after confirming that it really couldn't fit into the backpack, he turned around and left with regret.
Yukimura followed him into the bathroom again and watched Yagi Kei take out a tennis racket and fish in the bathtub for a while.
After successfully harvesting two anchovies, two snappers, a largemouth bass, several lumps of seaweed and even a can of JJ Cola, the younger generation of Mushroom Head finally stopped.
Yagi Kei turned his head: "Seed."
Yukimura instinctively pulled out the seed bag he had: "The seeds are all here..."
The player clicked Skip and quickly viewed the types of seeds available for purchase.
Yukimura looked at his junior staring at him in a daze, his lifeless eyes unblinking, which was inexplicably creepy.
Yukimura tried to maintain nature and casually mentioned, "Um... Yagi, have you considered planting something different this time?"
Worried that his juniors might misunderstand him, he explained, "Of course, there's nothing wrong with potatoes."
It’s just that other people might ask some unfriendly questions…”
When I think of the phone call a few days ago, I heard the other members of the club except Yanagi crying and complaining, saying things like "I really don't want to eat potatoes anymore", "Uh ah ah ah, save us, Chief Yukimura", "Fish! I have a disease that kills me if I get close to fish"...
Although they were not at Rikkai University, the accusations made by the members were truly tragic.
Yukimura had no choice but to try to give a subtle reminder in this way.
Yagi Kei: "!!"
I remember now! Although I haven't unlocked any clues about the sacrifice yet, the special NPC never talks nonsense!
So this must be a reminder for players to be prepared when the seasons change!
I was about to buy all the potato seeds with one click, but suddenly my hand turned away.
Yagi Kei: "15 kale, 10 green beans, 10 cauliflower, 75 potatoes, give it to me."
Yukimura: "...Okay."
Although potatoes are still the main crop, there have been some changes.
This shows that... the younger generation is still willing to listen to others, right?
Seeing Mushroom Head, who was carrying a bag of seeds, turn around and push the door to leave, Yukimura called him.
"It seems a little late to say that now," Yukimura said, "but you should do your best in tomorrow's school tryouts."
The dead-eyed junior kept pushing the door and turning his body to stare at him for a while, and Yukimura's smile gradually became forced.
When the special NPC was about to stop laughing, Mushroom Head finally responded.
Yagi Kei: “Oh.”
Yukimura breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could let go, he saw the junior suddenly turn around and go back.
The things in my hand kept changing, and the dazzling array finally stopped on a tulip.
Kei Yagi stuffed the tulips into Yukimura's arms and turned away.
Yukimura hesitated to speak, holding the tulips in his arms, looked down to see the color, and then looked up again.
Yagi Kei's figure had disappeared at the door.
It's a golden tulip.
Liu told him that their younger generation had been busy in the back mountain for a whole week, but this was the only golden tulip they had grown.
Now it was given to him...
The reason why the players left quickly was simply that there were only two hours left until two in the morning.
It takes one hour and forty-seven minutes to run the map, and I have to go through the trash cans on the way. If I don’t go back, it will be too late.
Just as I left the hospital gate, a prompt suddenly popped up: [Yukimura Seiichi Favorability +20]
Looks like tulips were the right gift!
You should have discovered that the favor gift is tulips when the special NPC gives the player tulip seeds at the beginning.
It’s worth it that the player specially kept this Venus Tulip.
He hurried on his way while rummaging through the trash cans, bought two more JJ Colas, and caught a fish at the gate of Rikkai University. The player barely managed to enter the student dormitory at 1:50 in the morning.

…
Mamoru Inoue, 30, editor of Professional Tennis Monthly, has increased his frequency of interviews with domestic youth tennis players in recent years.
I'm currently on my way to Rikkai University Junior High School to cover its on-campus ranking tournament.
After shaking hands and exchanging a few polite words with the coach of Rikkai University High School, the reporter named Mamoru Inoue turned his attention to the members doing warm-up exercises on the tennis court.
"Rikkai University is overflowing with talent this year," Inoue Mamoru said with emotion. "Even in the absence of Minister Yukimura, everyone has managed to maintain strong morale."
Coach: “Yeah, yeah…”
Inoue Mamoru: "I really want to see what kind of dark horse will emerge from Rikkai University this year."
Coach: “Ha, haha… maybe…”
Mamoru Inoue failed to sense the coach's complex emotions, as his mind was completely focused on the upcoming school ranking tournament.
As the overlord of the Kanto region, even in Rikkai University's internal ranking competition, his level is no less than that of a high school student.
Raising the camera lens, I scanned Sanada, who had his arms crossed and his hat pulled down, Yanagi, who was writing something down in a notebook, and Marui, who was chewing bubble gum and pointing fingers at Jack Sanhara.
And the kelp-headed guy next to them with a trash can lid on his head...Kirihara Akaya.
Inoue Mamoru:?
He hesitated, "Is this... is this the new training method of Rikkai Daishin?"
"Uh... that's not wrong." The coach wiped the sweat off his face and quickly moved the camera away.
"The school ranking tournament is about to begin. Editor Inoue, come over here and watch."
Upon hearing this, Mamoru Inoue stood next to the match schedule. The 52 members of the Rikkai University tennis club were divided into four groups: A, B, C, and D. Each group had 13 members competing for the only two rights to compete.
Group A consists of Sanada and Kirihara, Group B is Yanagi, Group C is Kuwabara and Niou, and Group D is Yagyu and Marui.
Inoue knew a lot about the composition of the opposing Kaida's forces. After scanning the four groups, he stood in front of Group A.
"It looks like we'll be able to see an exciting showdown this time."
The third-year player, the "king" of junior high tennis, faces the second-year ace, Kirihara Akaya. Even after watching it so many times, it still makes you...
"Ugh...those three of them are together. Team A is in danger!"
"What?! It's a total death group! Fortunately, I'm not in Group A... It's great that I can finally get rid of him..."
"Is it too late to regret now? I really don't want to be in this death group!!"
"Think positively. At least... Yagi got a bye in the first round. According to your match schedule, you're no match for him. You'll be defeated by Akaya right away~~"
“——Wuwuwuqaq Isn’t that even more terrifying!!”
Inoue Mamoru didn't miss what the Rikkai members said.
Although Group A, which only consists of Sanada and Kirihara, is strong, it is far from being a death group. He read the match list from top to bottom again.
Finally, the lucky person who had a bye in the first round in each group of 13 people caught his eye.
'Yagi Kei'
Inoue Mamoru: "Classmate, this 'Yagi' you are talking about is this——"
Member A's reflexive response: "No no no--!! We didn't say anything!!"
Inoue Mamoru: "..."
Member B quickly looked around, "No, no, thank goodness he's not here, hurry up and don't get tangled up with him!"
Mamoru Inoue looked at the people running as fast as they could with an almost puzzled expression.
He turned around and said, "Coach, this 'Yagi' is..."
Coach: "Huh? What did you say, Editor Inoue? Why don't we just watch the game? Haha, Group B is pretty good, Group C is also okay. Let's go, let's go to Group D..."
Inoue Mamoru: "..."
Inoue Mamoru: "Coach, I'd like to ask who this student named 'Yagi Kei' is..."
"Call me?"
A sudden voice sounded out of nowhere.
Everyone present paused.
Hearing the sound, Mamoru Inoue looked down and saw a trash can... no, a person holding up the trash can lid.
Because it's so short, I mistake it for a trash can or something...
But he is also wearing a trash can lid like the second-year ace Kirihara. Is this really a special training of Rikkai University?
Inoue Mamoru thought briefly and turned around to say, "Yagi-san, in the school ranking match list, you were assigned to Group A with Sanada and Kirihara."
He carefully considered his words and confirmed that he had never seen this face before. It should be the first-year student who joined the club this year.
When other Lenovo team members mentioned his tone and attitude, his keen sense as a reporter and editor told him that there was definitely something to be discovered.
He confirmed his thoughts and was about to speak again, "You..."
When I looked up, Yagi Kei had already walked ten meters away.
Inoue Mamoru: "..."
The coach wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "You'll get used to it, you'll get used to it..."
The player skips over the NPCs he doesn't care about and passes by people to enter the tennis court dungeon.
In order to conquer this dungeon, the player specially cut down trees and mowed grass to prepare more than a dozen tennis rackets, as well as 28 wild wasabi plants, 17 dandelions and 6 hard-to-chew biscuits found in the trash can in his backpack.
As the first-year students entered the tennis court, the Rikkai public students who were waiting on the side also came over.
Marui Bunta: "Kyu—are you nervous? You're going up against the 'Emperor' Sanada and the second-year ace Akaya, you know?"
Jack Kuwahara: "Well, Bunta, don't scare Yagi."
Niou Masaharu: "Interesting groupings. If there weren't a match, I really want to watch it all here puri~"
Liu: "Group B's match will be over soon. I will come and record it as soon as possible."
Kirihara: "Alright, alright—Kyu! Look at me!"
Kirihara: "I'm wearing this thing you gave me today!"
The focus of the conversation at this moment, Yagi Kei, is going through the plot CG.
After a fight with Skip, huge subtitles flashed.
Players are eager to try,
[Instance·Rikkai University Campus Ranking Tournament Officially Opens! ]
Jiejiejie, hidden achievements——
Players are ready! Players are coming——
[Due to good luck, you have a bye in the first round.]
Player:?
[We are working hard to arrange your opponent... Please wait... Estimated time is 1 hour 11 minutes 11 seconds...]
Yagi Kei: "..."
Yagi Kei: "…………"
Everyone rushed forward, hoping for the younger generation's reaction: "......?"
Marui: "Kei?"
Kirihara: "Hey hey--Kui? Kei?"
No matter how affectionate the call was or how hard it was to stretch out Erkang's hand, all he got was the cold back of the junior without even turning his head.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
"No...what happened to him?"
"What, what happened again?"
"I don't know... let's go out and see?"
“…Okay, alright…”
When everyone rushed out to take a look, panting and anxiously looking at it,
Without even turning back, Mushroom Head was squatting in front of the flower bed at the door, holding a small kettle, with his lifeless eyes wide open and an expressionless face as he watered the flowers... and vegetables? ?
Everyone: “…”
"Wait, wait, that's... broccoli?!"
"Watering it is fine, but why on earth is there cauliflower in the flower bed?!"
"Maybe... because they are all 'flowers' in the flowerbed?"
“…”
"That's not funny at all."
“——QAQ!!”
Inoue Mamoru, who followed the main force and chased after them even though he didn't understand what was happening, said: "..."
He was silent for a long time, then slowly said: "Yagi-kun...has it always been like this?"
The coach tried to defend himself: "...It's not always like this...or that."
The coach gave up with difficulty: "Today... is already very good!"
Inoue Mamoru: "?"
Inoue Mamoru didn't understand, but the people in Rikkai had already reached a consensus.
——Yagi was just watering the broccoli in the flowerbed, he didn’t do anything excessive!
In comparison, today is so normal!
The author has something to say:
----------------------
Mamoru Inoue: Everyone in the Rikkai University tennis club, from the coach to the members, seems to have a special understanding of 'normal'... Take note of this, maybe this is the reason why the 'Kanto Overlord' always wins!
