Volume 1 - CH 1.2

“You-Guy-Zuh! Who’s side are you on…?”

“S..sorry…. I’m very sorry…”

Because I’ll die. Because you’re killing me.

“The friends are fighting among themselves. Just goes to show you’re base vulgars.”

“Just a minute there m’lady. Stop it with the ‘base vulgars’ crap. It’s freaking annoying.”

“Let me rephrase it then. Simpleton? Stupid? Choose whichever you like.”

“Using the word stupid is stupid!”

“As expected of a fool. You just called yourself stupid.”

“T..that one doesn’t count. I’m not stupid! ….oops”

“Pfft. You said it again. You’re even more foolish now!”

“YOUR MOTHER IS A HOLSTEIN COW!”

“STOP TALKING ABOUT MY MILKERS!”

Yoshida-san tried to cover her big breasts with both arms while flustered. Instead though her arm that was supposed to cover the upper part of her boobs slipped into her cleavage and split her boobs apart like udders. This image of her looking like a cow was now in every boy’s mind and they imagined her mooing. And so the boob critiques started.

“They are legendairy” “They are god tier boobs” “Nakazawa-san’s aren’t bad either but…” “Compared to Yoshida-san’s though, I dunno…” “They are like a completely different crop” “Even if they were both cucurbitaceae (gourds), one would be a trichosanthes (a type of gourd, look it up) and the other watermelons” “I think kodama (round) watermelons and kurobe (oval) watermelons would be better comparison”

This analogy would only be made in an agricultural high school.

“Grrrrr…”

Minori’s got some tears in her eyes and started trembling.

“Kei! Hey Kei!”

“What’s wrong?”

“Don’t give me that ‘What’s wrong?’! How dare you mock me as a cultivation major! Dammit!”

I kinda of think it’s just Minori’s boobs that are being made fun of though…

“Hmph…”

Kei was reading the May issue of Gendai Agricultural Co., Ltd. ‘Become a master of controlling machines! Be a mother who loves all her machine children! Increase your vegitable sales 7-fold. 8 million in sales! It’s impossible without managing machines’, and set it down on the desk.

“Yoshida”

“W..what do you want, you base vulgar? Don’t use my name so casually!”

As Kei confronts her head on, Yoshida-san’s face reddens. These two are at odds with each other at every turn… Actually, to put it bluntly, Yoshida-san is the only one at odds.

Kei is at the top of the cultivation class. Yoshida-san is at the top of the livestock class. The battle between these two people is the decisive battle for the department. …Well Yoshida-san decided that was the case on her own.

Yoshida-san, who had been showing such hostility, was persuaded by Kei.

“Yoshida, cows are delicate creatures. It’s already afraid of humans, it’s not a good idea to keep it in this classroom full of particularly noisy idiots.”

“You’re right! What if the cow ends up catching our stupidity!”

Minori… that was a dumb thing to say.

However, Yoshida-san doesn’t look angry anymore.

“Hmph… How naïve Kei Kamatori. I thought you were a bright spot in the cultivation major, but I guess you are just a base vulgar like the rest.”

“What’s that?!”

“I didn’t bring Ageha to this classroom just to take care of her! Kei Kamatori! Do you know what Kyoshinkai is?!”

“Put simply, Kyoshinkai is a competition. It is an event to promote agriculture by bringing the crops and livestock from all over the country that people have raised to be judged.”

“That’s right. And the cows that are being judged need to not only be superior in appearance but also the quality of their meat. They need to be able to endure hours in a narrow truck to get to the venue. And it’s actual performance will be in front of the eyes of many people. It needs to be mentally strong to get through the stress. It is only when you combine these two things that it can be recognized as a true elite wagyu beef cattle!”

“Is that right? I think I learned from this morning’s escape incident that Ageha doesn’t have the greatest mental fortitude. For the sake of this child’s future you need to discipline it severely from now on.”

“…As expected, Yoshida. When it comes to the knowledge and passion of livestock farming, I can’t match you…”

“You’re right! If you’ve learned from this then n..never talk back to me again!”

“Yeah. I’ll continue to learn many things from you.”

“I.. I have no intention of becoming friends with you! Don’t be so easy going! You base vulgar!”

As you may have already noticed, Yoshida-san is a severe tsundere. Even so, I don’t think it’s normal to bring a cow into the classroom, no matter how tsundere she is. I wonder what having that kind of mindset is like.

“Gooood morning everyone ♪”

While worrying about that, our homeroom teacher Natsumi Bekki (aka Becky) came into the classroom with a greeting. She’s a kind of strict single female teacher around the age of 40.

“It’s a beautiful day too. The weather is great”, Becky-sensei said with a soft smile. By the way, when I say strict, I mean age-wise. Basically she’s a kind teacher.

“Sensei!”

Minori quickly raises her hand.

“M’laa…. I mean Yoshida-san brought a cow into the classroom! I don’t think she should have!”

“Wow, really? Yoshida-san, why did you bring cow-san here?”

“Mutsu, the animal husbandry teacher, was injured when this thing escaped this morning. So there is no one to look after this child. That’s why I decided to take care of it.”

“What you just told us is completely different than that story!”

“Of course, I’m also trying to get her used to people. You should understand that much without me having to tell you, base vulgar!”

“You said it again! You keep calling us base vulgar! Sensei, be careful or you’ll be next!”

“Hmm…”

Becky thinks for a moment, “Yoshida-san, can you treat me with more respect?”

“Hmph… that’s a foolish question! Anyways that’s what I’ve been saying! I brought it here to take care of it!”

“Hmmm. It’s OK then.”

Well it’s OK then!

“Hey, wait a minute Becky-sensei! This is strange!”

Minori complains immediately.

“If this is really allowed then the cultivation majors should be able to bring potted plants to the classroom and grow crops! Riiight Everyone?!”

“I guess so.” “Livestock farmers get special treatment.” “You guys get way to big of a budget!” “This is outrageous!” “She’s got outrageous boobs!”

If the cultivation majors say stuff like that, livestock majors are going to speak up too.

“Oh yeah, well you guys are always doing taste tests and eating the fruit and vegetables.” “Yeah, we can only take discarded chickens.” “Melons! Give me Melons!”

This feud ignited quickly. It seems like the whole class has collapsed.

“Everyooooone! Stop fightiiiiing!”, Becky cried. “This isn’t good. Nakazawa-san and Yoshida-san. You guys need to get along.”

“But Sensei… isn’t this strange? I can’t believe there is a cow in the classroom…”

“But isn’t the cow a member of the school like everyone else? Don’t I have to take care of it?”

“Hmmmph!”

Minori was still not convinced. Neither are the other students.

To distract everyone Becky says, “Yes yes. I wouldn’t say it’s strange, more like funny. You know, let me tell you a funny story!” She says this out of nowhere and starts talking happily. “Sensei went to a family diner yesterday. It’d been awhile so I asked for wine. Oh and I asked if he wanted some too. So he prepared 2 glasses and we made a toast. We said things like ‘This is very delicious isn’t it’ and ‘I might be a little drunk’. We were laughing and laughing….. Isn’t it weird….. that I don’t have a boyfriend yet….”

“………”

Listening to that weird sad story, the whole class became silent. We ended up going to lunch break like this.

“Itadakimasu”

Kei, Minori, and I returned to the dorms to have lunch.

“Mmmmm, I live for this food.”

I make ‘egg rice’ by mixing fresh eggs I got this morning into my steamed rice. The rice, eggs, soy sauce, and even the oil is all made at this school.

“Delicious! Seconds please!”

“Sure thing. Eat as much as you like.”

I asked Minori for another helping and reached for the sides and miso soup. The miso soup made by the agriculture department is the best in the galaxy. And I get to enjoy some home-grown plums for dessert!

“Minori. Can you get the remote control for me?”

“Sure”

Kei and Minori start watching TV while drinking the shirakawa tea they made on the training field. I sat next to them about to go into a food coma.
