[After the ghost adventure that also happened to be the leaf adventure, Okuyasu found himself with a packet of mystery seeds. He did the only thing that makes sense to do, as someone who can't garden but has been to elementary school, and folded a single seed in a damp piece of tissue which then got hung up in his bedroom window for a couple weeks. This, rather than basic knowledge of what sunflower seeds look like, is how he figures out what his mystery seeds are.
It only takes a week to sprout and a few more to actually look like a sunflower, at which point he's clumsily potted it in a gray bowl from his own kitchen (Iida will not miss this, for sure, never mind that) and... is not sure what to do with it.
And then the obvious solution occurs to him and he pops open his laptop to send Ochako a very innocent message that is not at all suspect.]
hey
i've got something for u

[Fight a big ol' spider youkai? He'll do it! Finally, a quest that makes him glad to be a blue in this town. Not that the others sucked, but this one is better, anyway! He's going to beat the shit out of a giant monster spider, and since it's always more fun to kick ass in pairs, he knows just who to ask.
Little not-Koichi, of course!! Izuku, being a fellow Punch Boy, is the obvious first choice, and Okuyasu has already sent him a series of excitable messages about doing this quest with him. Now he waits at the edge of the forest, waving when he sees Izuku coming out from the town.]
Hey!! Let's do this, yeah!

[Learn a skill from a red... Okuyasu has things he needs to do that require some more skills, and ordinarily he wouldn't ask someone who straight up made fun of him for spelling his name with a bunch of dollar signs (so cool), but -- he remembers Lupin lives in Ruga, which means he's red, which means Okuyasu is going to bang on his door until he answers, again.]
C'mon out, bowtie! It's me!!
C'mon out, bowtie! It's me!!
[So Operation: Grant Nanjo's Wish goes absolutely sideways, and that's fine, because Nanjo and Ochako are two of Okuyasu's favorite people in town as usual, and despite all odds and wild motorcycle tricks, they manage to have a good time. Which means that Okuyasu goes home and thinks about how cool it is to have a bunch of friends, and it's sappy, and Nanjo in particular is kind of... like...
Not like a cool big brother, only his bike is truly cool, but he's surprised Okuyasu time and again with actual genuine support and concern for his well-being, so. Like a brother who isn't a complete asshole, and is only sometimes a prickly jerk.
This thought takes Okuyasu a few houses down to Nanjo's place again, a few days later, and he sure as hell can't just say "you're like an okay big bro which is a weird new feeling," so he goes with,] Can you teach me bike tricks?

[Catch geese, the quest says. Two of the same color, the quest also says. But that's for catching them, right, not hunting them... And Okuyasu has never been hunting before, but jesus, if he isn't bored of eating vegetables and weird chickens day in and day out.
That's it: he's bored of the menu here in "only 40 food options" town, and he figures he should check up on Emma anyway, so he marches off to her weirdly adorable little house and bangs on the door a few times until she comes to answer.]
Yo! You still got that gun?
[an opener for the ages]

[Kei's been busy with a lot of things for the past few days. So when Okuyasu bursts into his house unannounced, he's not too surprised...however at that question he looks at him as if he grew and extra head.]
Bike...tricks? I merely rode my bike across the roads, I didn't try to do stunts with it...

if u wanna??
how much space u got in ur yard
[Also not an ominous question.]

[Also not an ominous question.]
[Listen Nanjo... don't question it. Looking too deeply into the details will reveal nothing but Okuyasu embarrassing himself, again. He folds his arms and nods once, twice, considering something--]
Okay, I'll teach you some bike tricks! I only know like two, but that's enough.

nope!
ok u got like a big bowl?

[Give him a minute to look at his mystery plant...]
like u could put ur head in it twice
like u could put ur head in it twice
u don't need it right this minute
but eventually yeah that's gonna be a rush job
but eventually yeah that's gonna be a rush job
[Even someone like Nanjo can tell there's something off of him and he raises an eyebrow even as he stands at his door and lets the other come on inside.]
We're both blue. I believe the quest to learn a new trick required someone who is red? Let me look into it again...
[Amazingly, his house looked...better after those few days. The floors looked swept and the place looked dusted. There's some of that medieval clothing he found and washed as backup outfits.]

i gave them to dave for the FRIENDSHIP TOURNAMENT. °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
and hurry! i'll wait outside for you!
[She's too pumped to stay inside! He'll find her sitting on her front steps, staring up into the sky as she imagines what kind of plant Okuyasu could have possibly grown. Something edible, hopefully? More fruit? Nothing is as delicious as mochi, but alas, any port in a storm...]

oh yeah apparently i'm secretary of that now
never been in charge of anything before
anyway i'll be there in a min
[Or, like, ten minutes, rather, since he's not going to sprint all the way to Ruga with a potted plant. He's not holding it especially carefully, but when he comes into view with a bowl balanced in one hand with a sunflower that's at least two feet high now growing out of it... surprise?? Here it is: super flower.]
Hey! Check it out!

[Oh Nanjo, you learned to clean a little, how sweet. Okuyasu doesn't say anything about this and might not even totally notice that it looks tidier around here, distracted as he is trying to get Nanjo to hang out with him without making it a whole thing.
Not that he's very good at doing this with subtlety, shoving his hands in his pockets and looking away... at the wall...]
No, don't— You think I'm hanging out with you just to get a box of seeds or whatever? C'mon.

[GOSH IT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU OKUYASU He just watches him react and wonders what the devil the other is trying to get at. You'll have to forgive him - his friends would casually just yell at each other and he has no other siblings. So why the other would want to hang out with him was very confusing.
The last time something like this happened, a certain Eikichi Mishina had asked him to be his sensei. Was this the same?]
I could train you in additional fight styles, if you want. Unless you know tricks that uses a stationary motorbike.
[Trying.]

[Of all the plant possibilities, Ochako never even considered that Okuyasu might be bringing her a flower? And a sunflower, at that! Whoa. Her eyes light right up, because seriously, she can't even remember the last time she's seen something so cheerful-looking in this grey town.]
Okuyasu! You grew that? That's amazing! [She leaps to her feet, excitedly clapping her hands together.] It's so beautiful...
