Chapter 38: The Mage's Mission [The Mage's Mission: Star Valley...
[Mage's Quest: The Star Valley Mage resides in the Mage Tower in the north. He's currently worried about the monsters called ghosts in the mines, which are causing the elemental balance to become disrupted. He would like an adventurer to enter the mines and slay two demons. —Mage M? Rasmodes] (Note 1)
[Mission Reward: 5000 yen]
[yes/no]
Of course the player chose yes. Actually, he had no idea where the Mage Tower was. Perhaps it was due to the expansion mod, but the map of Star Valley always left players confused. After coming out of the daily mine, Shiratori Ze, he headed north and finally managed to avoid the guarding NPC and enter the Mage's territory.
The farmer took out a map and started comparing.
Then he achieved a good result of only 0.1 seconds from start to give up.
Finally, with the help of the daily check-in NPC who was always around him, he found out the specific location of the Mage Tower.

"...You mean you ran all the way here from Shiratorizawa?"
After he finished speaking, he saw the person in front of him tilt his head, as if pondering the meaning of the sentence, and finally nodded, "Yes."
What is right?
Expecting some clever excuse, Ikawa Toru's expression was complicated. He remembered that the distance between Shiratorizawa and Qingcheng was quite far. How reckless would one have to be to run from one end to the other? Or was this all just a lie, the real purpose a trick devised by the seemingly aggressive coach on the other side, to use this setter to disrupt their morale and gain insight into Qingcheng's tactics?
Thinking about it this way, it's not completely impossible. Oikawa's heart sank and he focused his gaze back on the face of the person in front of him.
In front of him was Shiratorizawa's new setter. He had also copied videos of the opponent's recent games. After observing for a long time, he finally had to admit that as a setter, Kenjo Shinichi was indeed qualified. Coordinating the attackers was the setter's responsibility, and for this guy in front of him, it was as skillful as drinking water... He looked so smart on the court, why did he feel like a fool in real life?
He waited until the group of girls finally left Jiancheng before walking over, and then he saw that the man in front of him had eyes as bright as an 800-watt light bulb.
Players are excited: Wild mage, wow!
Oikawa:…
Oikawa didn't know why he suddenly felt tired, but he didn't have time to play with the kids right now. He'd left his phone in his school uniform pocket before going out for a run, so he had no idea if anyone had contacted him. Then again, his teammates wouldn't be giving him any special training while he was gone, would they? He remembered texting Coach Irihata.
He should have sent it, right?
Oikawa Tooru fell into deep thought.
At this time, Iwaizumi found Oikawa Toru's jacket in the volleyball hall:
No wonder he couldn't get through on the phone. It turned out that the idiot Oikawa forgot to bring his cell phone and went out without saying goodbye. No one knew where he went to fool around. Iwaizumi thought about it and took Oikawa's jacket with him before leaving the volleyball hall. Hanamaki came to his side reluctantly, looking back at Matsukawa from time to time while moving - Matsukawa Ishizuka made a cheering gesture.
Hanamaki: ...
Hanamaki took a deep breath and walked up to Iwaizumi Ichi with a fearless attitude.
Iwaizumi looked up and saw the other person's actions, and was stunned for a second: "What's wrong?"
Hanamaki stammered, "Iwa-chan, I think I know where Oikawa is."
"Isn't that great?" Iwaizumi said, "Why do you look so grim?"
Thinking of something, he sneered: "If I see Oikawa not doing his job, he will be finished." After saying that, he clenched his fists, making a sound of crackling bones.
Hanamaki: ...
"...I have a stomachache." Huajuan took a step back with a strange expression, hiding his cell phone behind him, as if trying to cover up something.
Iwaizumi suddenly had a bad feeling and moved closer, "Didn't they say there was news about Oikawa? Where is he?"
“…”
Huajuan turned his head away, his guilt written all over his face: "I saw it wrongly."
Songchuan who watched the whole process:.
If Hanamaki were to act, he would definitely be said to be a member of the royal family, he thought expressionlessly, and even felt that he was a bit humorous.
In the end, Iwaizumi Hajime finally got what Hanamaki Takashi wanted to show him at the beginning of his first year. It was a photo posted on social media by a girl from their school. The girl was in the middle of the photo. That wasn't a big deal, but the key point was that there were two other people around her: one was Oikawa, and the other...
Iwaizumi had a wooden face.
How did Oikawa end up with Shiratorizawa's new setter?
Iwaizumi seriously considered the possibility that Oikawa Toru was a scumbag who kidnapped Shiratorizawa's child.
Hanamaki, who was standing next to him, said weakly: "...Xiaoyan, you pinched my phone..."
She was going to vent her anger by pinching Oikawa's phone! He was just a guy who lost a game of rock-paper-scissors with his peers. What was his fault? Hanamaki was in tears.
*
While Oikawa was thinking, the farmer circled around him, and finally tugged at the corner of the wizard's clothes, confused: "Stuck?"
Or was it clipping through the model? The farmer scratched his cheek. Seeing that the mage NPC hadn't responded yet, he decided to take advantage of this gap to go through the trash can. After all, if the NPC discovered him digging through the trash in Star Valley, his favorability would drop. Although the version he was playing didn't have a romance section, favorability was still very important for advancing the plot. He hoped to keep it positive unless it was absolutely necessary.
On the other hand, the favorability of the mage NPC is very important for obtaining the Cat Sword (Note 2) in the later stage.
The farmer sneaked up to the trash can and was about to open the lid when he heard the mage NPC's puzzled voice, "Unknown-kun?"
The player paused: ...
The player withdrew his hand guiltily and turned his head, "What's wrong?"
I patted myself on the back in my head. Luckily, I was a little slow. Haha, disaster is always one step behind me! Big win for the player.
Oikawa Toru:.
Why does this guy look like he's been caught playing games? However, Oikawa Toru managed to calm his almost collapsed expression. "...When are you leaving?"
Oikawa Toru had wanted to ask from the beginning: Did Shiratorizawa have nothing better to do? Why did he let his setter just sit around in Qingcheng? If Iwaizumi had known he was messing around, he would have hit him with a volleyball.
Farmer Aba Aba: "The mission is not yet completed."
Although it's not a timed quest, if you can finish it in one day, you won't want to wait until the next day. By the way, why didn't the wizard give him a potion? How is the farmer supposed to read Junimho without a potion?
When Ikawa Toru heard the word "mission", he was silent for a few seconds, then he showed a hearty smile: "There is a milk tea shop outside Qingcheng that is very delicious." He put his arm around Kenjo Shinichi's shoulders and waved his finger forward with an air of commanding the country: "Let's go, senior, please have a drink, Shinichi-kun..."
He tilted his head to look at the expressionless setter Shiratorizawa, with an unclear look on his face: "...Can I call you that?" Although the words were a question, they were spoken with an affirmative tone that left no room for questioning.

It was twenty minutes later that Senmi Eita saw the photo sent by Tendou Kaku. When he opened the text message, he was a little doubtful of his eyes for a moment.
This is, he enlarged the photo, trying to find any trace of PS, but failed miserably.
"Kenjo, why are you with Oikawa?"
There are three people in the photo. Apart from the unknown girl, there are Oikawa from Qingcheng and his junior himself. Kenshiro Shinichi also made a silly gesture to the camera. Compared with Oikawa Toru who managed his expression well, he was a complete failure in taking photos.
Senmi Eita: ...
Senmi held his forehead and then scrolled to another message from Tendou.
It is a screenshot, which seems to be the Instagram of the person who posted the photo.
[Super lucky! I saw Oikawa-senpai and Shinichi outside the school! Are they good friends?]
Judging from the screenshots alone, the number of likes was quite high. He even saw a familiar ID in the comment section. Several people from Jozenji were asking how the milk tea here was, and they seemed to be having a great time.
Senmi:.
Seto took a deep breath. He knew where to find his missing junior, but...
"...Why are you with your opponent before the finals? Are you going to betray me, Kenjo?" said Senmi Eita sadly.
It was already enough to cause trouble for Shiratorizawa! Now they were adding to the problem. Thinking of Coach Washi Takumi's expression, Senmi Eita shuddered and quickened his pace towards Qingcheng.
*
Oikawa Toru here felt that he was working hard for the future of Qingcheng. After all, Shiratorizawa's plan must be nipped in the bud. Oikawa crossed his fingers and made a thinking gesture on the table, "Okay, Shinichi-kun, now tell me what your mission is."
Investigating Qingcheng's tactics? Or sneaking over to intimidate them? Or something else?
Then again, could they have spiked their drinking water, causing the entire team to suffer from diarrhea and miss the finals, leaving Shiratorizawa painlessly qualified for the national competition?
Thinking of this, Toru Ishikawa took a deep breath and showed a sharp look. He felt that he had touched the edge of the Shiratorizawa mission. It was too insidious and he was almost trapped. If it weren't for Lord Ishikawa, Qingcheng would definitely be finished.
"Shinichi-kun, your mission..." No, he couldn't be so impatient. Ikawa calmed down and pushed the milk tea he had just ordered towards Kenjo Shinichi. "Don't be impatient, Shinichi-kun. We can talk while we drink."
"But I'm really curious about your purpose in coming to Qingcheng." Just let me see your true face. If you drink the drink he bought, you must obey him...
But after seeing Kenjo Shinichi pick up the cup, the triumphant smile on Oikawa Toru's face froze completely, and the next second he said in shock, "Are you an idiot? Don't put the drink in your pocket!"
…
The farmer looked at the Star Fruit Tea (Note 3) in front of him, which was displayed as "Mage's Gift", and was silent for two seconds before putting it into his backpack.
Good stuff! Take it back to Lewis. Maybe if he raises his favorability, he can get the player's trash hat back.
Is he really a genius?
The farmer was very happy.
-----------------------
The author has something to say: Note 1: The task of the Stardew Valley Mage, this ghost is actually a ghost, a Stardew Valley monster
Note 2: Cat Sword, the Mage's favorability is 4 stars, and the mine has reached the 100th floor. Place the Ancient Doll (the Stardew Valley item) in the lava layer to get the Alien Crystal. Then take the Crystal to the basement of the Mage's house and place it on the pedestal on the far right to get the Cat Sword.
Note 3: Giving it as a gift to an NPC can increase 250 favorability (one heart) at one time. On the birthday, it will increase the favorability by three hearts. It is the best gift in Stardew Valley.
This chapter randomly gives out 20 red packets! I have been writing more slowly in recent days, so please post it to the masters.
Finally: 60 Lei extra chapters at noon. Yamisan went to shoot the sunrise at 4:00 this morning, but it was cloudy and he didn't get to shoot anything (…). Finally, around 9:00, he was trapped in the scenic area due to heavy rain and couldn't leave (collapsed). Just saw that he owed four extra chapters... so enthusiastic! Writing, writing, (struggling nervously with the keyboard)
