[volleyball! ! ]Why Don't You Kiss Her

The author has something to say: the original work of this article is directed to the TV version of the finished manga series.

Until standing at the entrance of the Sendai City Gymnasium, Tsukishima Hotaru looked at her teammates and still felt that her life was really fantastic.

Hinata Xiangyang, who is less than 1.7 meters tall but possesses sky-defying jumping ability, and Prince Tobio Kageyama smashed the wig of the teaching director with a volleyball on the first day of joining the club. There was Nishitani Xi, who was more pussy than Hinata but hotter than Hinata, who was dyed with yellow hair, and beside him was the trump card Dongfeng Xu who looked like a vicissitudes of life but wrapped in a glass heart.Oh, and I have to mention the female manager who doesn't talk much and doesn't like to laugh. She stood on the second floor of the gymnasium and Mr. Takeda hung up the banner before the end of training yesterday, and she blushed and said like a mosquito Come on.This sound of encouragement, which was originally extremely ordinary, forced tears of emotion from several second and third graders present.

Thinking of these things, Tsukishima couldn't help frowning.He glanced around at the few boys wearing Karasuno uniforms... Every time after school club training, he always had the illusion that he was going to a mental hospital. There were not many normal people in the whole volleyball club, but he Just want to go to the national competition with this group of guys?

Tadashi Yamaguchi nudged the stupid Tsukishima with his elbow, "Tsuki, we're assembled."

Tsukishima took off his earphones and walked towards his team without saying a word.A group of teenagers wore crisp black jackets, which were particularly conspicuous among the colorful and bright team uniforms.He pursed his lips tightly, and his mind was still buzzing with Captain Sawamura shouting towards the sky with his fists clenched and tears in his eyes last night, "The first battle! We must win!"

"Oh--!!"

Passing by the hall of the gymnasium, Tsukishima looked up at the list of colleges and universities posted for the IH Miyagi preliminaries, thoughtfully.The national competition...?

After changing the uniforms, the captain led everyone into the gymnasium.The moment the door was pushed open, a strong light pierced through the door, as if the group of them were the protagonists of the grand debut.Hinata jumped up and down as if he had never seen the world, "Ah, it's so spacious!"

Tsukishima raised his hand and touched his chest, the heart in his chest was still beating in an orderly manner.nervous?Not too nervous—he bent over to tie his shoes, put on his knee pads, and straightened up to start warming up.

The stadium was brightly lit, and the shouts of the players were endless.The effect of the warm-up has allowed the body to regain its sense of function. Tsukishima tilted his head and wiped the little sweat that flowed out on his sleeves. , but there are cheers and spectators around, but if you lose, you have to go home.

It's nothing.

Yue Dao thinks he sees it very lightly, like an old monk with a pure heart and asceticism.Unlike the Hinata Xiangyang who was sitting on the ground with a pale face and trembling before the game started, the last time he played a practice match with Aoba Josai, this little guy who was usually so excited that his blood vessels burst was because he was too nervous and served the ball At that time, he hit the back of the prince's head.

He couldn't help laughing when he thought of that scene until now, so Tsukishima really couldn't help curling his lips after successfully winning the first game with a score of 2-0.

This scene was seen by Tadashi Yamaguchi. He raised his palm to Tsukishima who came down from the court with great interest, his eyes were bright and he looked forward to Tsukishima and his highfive, but Tsukishima frowned and puzzled when he came. eyes.

"what?"

"Hi-five." Yamaguchi pointed confidently at Tsukishima's face, "We won the game, Yue, weren't you very happy just now? You even laughed."

Tsukishima glanced at him lightly, covered his head with a towel to cover his expressionless face, "...boring." Just skipped the mountain pass where his palm was still standing there waiting for him, " If you win, you win, what's there to be happy about." Anyway...you will lose in the end, but you don't know where it will go.

As a result, Karasuno High School won even the impregnable Date Industry, but was defeated by Aoba Saijo, who was defeated by them last time, and ended the tug-of-war with a score of 30 by two points.

Tsukishima stood upright outside the court, feeling that the lights above his head were a bit dazzling.

Aoba Nishijo at the other end of the net had hugged and started cheering, but there was a dead silence on the other side of the net, as if no one realized that the game was over, but the volleyball was caught by Aoba's volleyball tens of seconds ago. The block was successfully intercepted, and now it is quietly and innocently parked on Wuye's side of the field, and the scoreboard that will not be flipped has cruelly and calmly announced that Wuye's road to the national competition has been cut off.

Everyone remained motionless in different postures.On Karasuno's side of the court, no one left the court.

Tsukishima lowered his head to look at his shoelaces, and the delayed heartbeat was amplified in his ears until it clearly hit his eardrums, thump, thump, thump.He didn't even know where this sound came from for a while, and he didn't understand what was going on with the complicated mood that grew together like a messy tree root.

Captain Sawamura calmly gestured to the players off the pitch.Time to line up.

At the end of the day, coach Wuyang treated everyone to a very sumptuous meal.The chubby aunt continued to bring hot dishes to the table, and the chopsticks and spoons collided with each other, making a clanging sound.Every player is eating food with big mouthfuls, no one is willing to talk, just chewing mechanically, and then burst into tears.

"I heard that courage is hidden in food. Eat it, eat it. Then, little by little, it will become stronger."

Tsukishima calmly held the bowl and put the food into his mouth.

He didn't cry, why did he cry.

——However, he unexpectedly discovered that he was lucky for a moment before the end of the game. He even thought that maybe Karasuno could really win, maybe he could really climb to a higher point, maybe he could follow this hot-blooded winner Together with the team that gave him a headache, he went to see the scenery he had never seen and listen to the applause and cheers he had never heard before.

However, Tsukishima still didn't shed a single tear, just a little bit unwilling to eat.

In a trance, he thought of his last game in junior high school. Lin Qiao cried like a fool in front of him, like a kid who was robbed of candy by an adult.

At that time, he told her that he would not lose next time.

Because he was completely helpless against the girl's tears, he made such a plan and said such a sentence half-seriously and half-lying.

Now Tsukishima Hotaru wants to meet Lin Qiao.Even if it's her crying red eyes.

Maybe it's because of his dark personality—if Lin Qiao immediately appeared in front of Yue Dao who lost the game and cried regardless of his image, maybe Yue Dao would not feel so uncomfortable in his heart.

All right.He finally admitted that he was a little bit unwilling.

The earth still turns, and the days are no different.It's just that the qualifiers of IH Miyagi Prefecture ended in such a hurry for Karasuno.But the third graders who thought they would quit the club after the qualifiers broke the contract collectively, and showed up in the gymnasium as usual the day after the game.Not long after the panting third grader opened the door, Mr. Takeda who was in a mess followed suit.

"Everyone is going!" Takeda, who was holding the door frame, was so excited that his glasses were tilted aside, "The expedition to Tokyo!"

The gymnasium was quiet for a moment, and the next second, the noisy members surrounded Takeda.Takeda wiped his nosebleed indiscriminately, adjusted his glasses and laughed, "Owl Valley Academy Alliance, an alliance composed of several high schools in the Kanto region including Yinju, it is said that they often organize practice games. Ah, thanks to Mr. Maomata, we Karasuno can also join their practice this time."

Tokyo?Sound horse?Tsukishima, who was standing on the periphery of the crowd, was stunned for a moment holding the volleyball in both hands, then threw the ball high and hit it out.With a bang, the volleyball bounced to the wooden floor and made a dull impact.Tsukishima's eyes followed the volleyball rolling towards the corner, feeling a little nerve-wracking.

...Damn it...he is just as happy as that group of hot-blooded guys.

So after the club training, he quickly packed up his things and started walking towards the entrance of the gymnasium, his steps were so fast that he even floated a little.Then I heard Tadashi Yamaguchi, who hadn't followed up behind him, talking among the players who hadn't dispersed, "Hey, Yue is in a good mood today."

"What? Tsukishima? Isn't he always looking like this?"

"Ah, today is a bit different. When Yue is happy—"

"Yamaguchi, you are very wordy today." Tsukishima, who was standing at the door and couldn't move forward, had to turn around and interrupted Yamaguchi's explanation guiltily. He threw his sports bag on his shoulder and turned his face away awkwardly, ". .....I am leaving."

"Ah, wait for me Yue—"

Tsukishima quickly left the gymnasium.When walking to the school gate, the dim street lamps on both sides of the street were already on, and the barking of someone's dog faintly wafted out along with the aroma of the food, seducing the strong appetite of these tired teenagers.Yamaguchi behind him finally followed, and Hinata and Nishitani rushed to them in a rowdy fight, accidentally not paying attention, and Hinata, who was too noisy, bumped into someone.

The books scattered on the ground, and the paper caught in the books was blown up by the wind, and fell lightly in front of Tsukishima.He bent down to pick it up, and took a closer look. It was a physics exam paper with terrible grades.

The next second when he saw the signature on the test paper, Yue Dao raised his eyebrows, grinned wickedly, and shook the test paper between his slender fingers.

"Huh? Even a fool can get this kind of score."

The girl who was standing two meters away and was busy picking up books with her head down raised her head angrily after hearing the ridicule that was neither high nor low.

The street lamps illuminated her clear and beautiful black eyes.
