[Volleyball Boys] Youth to be continued

For Aoi Hami, the biggest problem in his 8-year idol career is how to maintain his popularity after the big hit.

In the MKV48GROUP, where newcomers are constantly joining and the sister group is expanding, although she was called "a beautiful girl like CG animation" and "the template of an idol" at the beginning, she was noticed by people, but it didn't take long for those people to say Fans who say "Hami will push you!" and "I will always support you!" will still fall in love with other members.

The cruelty of reality lies in the fact that the so-called star halo, the so-called popularity... need to constantly dig out character design, develop skills, plan and execute various activities in order to gain lasting attention, otherwise it will soon be abandon.

Although she had a lot of ideas, due to the firm's restrictions on her development direction, many interesting proposals were rejected by the manager on the grounds that "it will affect your orthodox idol image".

Until, she dropped directly to No. 8 in the general election ranking of the following year, and another member named "Waste Wood" replaced her original No. 3 because of giving fans a sense of intimacy and substitution... The agent finally realized the seriousness of the matter, and also realized that in this rapidly changing era, idols could no longer rely on "face" alone to survive, so he accepted the N plans proposed by Yu Wei himself, which he thought was the most reliable the one.

——Open an exclusive channel on YOUTUBE and become a game anchor.

At that time, YOUTUBE was still a blue ocean of business in Japan, that is to say, it was a market that was not yet fiercely competitive, full of many opportunities... Of course, at the same time, because there were not many successful cases for reference, there were also many pitfalls buried.

Under such circumstances, Yu Wei explored step by step, stepping on and filling in the pits, and finally managed to operate his channel.

And the reason why she uses "game" as the entrance, instead of the "beauty" or "fashion" route that other idols or models take.

It's because Yu Wei doesn't have any sense of fashion at all...

In fact, under the busy work and heavy pressure, she has been playing games to decompress, and she also has a soft spot for digital products.

When other members are keen to buy clothes and bags and are keen to post their outfits on BLOG, half of Yu Wei’s income as an idol is used to buy high-end computers, the latest mobile phones, game consoles and games Cassettes... For her, the existence of digital products, the Internet, and games... made her life more convenient and gave her a tree hole to escape from reality.

Fighting monsters constantly in the game, constantly leveling up, conquering cities and conquering territories, and becoming the king in the end - it is much easier than maintaining the general election ranking.

Because of this, she has also developed her operational skills and sensitivity to various games—she can quickly clear many popular games as soon as they are released.

The legend of the gods... is one of them.

Released in the summer of 2012, this turn-based combat game is based on SONY’s latest PSVITA handheld, and is extremely popular among high school students—the reason is that it can make full use of the fragmented time to fight monsters, unlike the traditional RPG requires a lot of time and energy to complete the plot tasks.

Yu Wei always played this game on the way of announcements. She didn't go too much on the main line, but kept fighting various bosses to collect materials to make equipment. The picture was refreshing.

and so……

"Give me the game console."

After taking over the game console from Hinata Xiangyang, she was quite confident, thinking that she would be able to defeat this so-called big boss as quickly as before (actually there will be more difficult bosses later, hehe!)... She completely forgot that she had returned to this era. In fact, she hadn't touched this game for a long time.

Anyway...

【GAME OVER】

After 5 minutes, following the reminder of the dog leash from the game console, Yumi, who was quite confident at first, twitched her mouth (even though she was wearing a mask, everyone couldn't see it), and looked seriously at the expectant Xiangyang Hyuga (and the ABCDs watching around), Shen Sheng said:

"Sorry, I haven't played for a long time, and my hands are a little raw. Then...give me another chance."

Chapter4 The girl who insists on fighting monsters

Unfortunately, before Yu Wei had time to regain his dignity, he heard the announcement from the staff of the student cafeteria:

"Hi everyone, today's business has ended, we are about to start a general cleaning, please leave as soon as possible."

Uh.

As a fairly well-known game YOUTUBER, Yumi really couldn't swallow this breath, and looked through Hinata Xiangyang who was sighing, "It's okay, Aoi-san, although you are dead, but you just operated very fast!", looking at the game console Said the owner—the boy he called "The Grinding".

"Hello, I really want to beat this boss again, can you lend me your game console?" Because she didn't know what grade this boy was in, she simply used honorifics.Seeing that the boy seemed to be slightly taken aback, she immediately added, "In exchange, I'll lend you my 3DS, which contains the cartridge of The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time..."

It's only her fault that she didn't bring a PSV on this trip, but a 3DS... No way, she just prefers Nintendo over SONY!

I originally planned to play on the road for a while... Unexpectedly, Sister Tanaka Yazi's driving (elegant) skills are so amazing that she, who is used to cars, is directly knocked out.

"Hey—what is 3DS!?" Hinata Xiangyang, who is as passionate as a boy manga hero, blinked his big eyes, full of interest, "Is it also a game console like this!?"

"Yeah." Yu Wei nodded, "It's more fun than this."

"I don't think so." Grinding made a sound, although his face was still as expressionless as before, it made Yu Wei's heart tremble.

It's over...is this a SONY fan?If he knew that I prefer Nintendo, he might not lend me the game console!

"Cough... each has its own merits." Although wearing a mask, everyone couldn't see her expression at all, Yu Wei still pulled out an awkward but polite smile, and continued to ask seriously, "Then, about the game console..."

"Take it." The boy's voice was flat, "Just return it to me tomorrow."

"Thank you very much, then I will take the 3DS..."

"No, I have it."

"...Okay, okay"

It seems that he also plays Nintendo... Hami felt relieved all of a sudden.

Leaving the student cafeteria, a group of people walked towards the dormitory under the gloomy night. On the way back, they also joined a few tall teenagers. Some team uniforms said "Yinju" and some said "Owl Valley" , probably because the appearance looked a little suspicious, or maybe it was curious—in short, everyone’s eyes would glance at Yu Wei from time to time... So it didn’t take long for Yu Wei to leave the main team with the excuse of “I’m going to make a phone call” , then walked to the edge of the flower table downstairs in the dormitory, took out his mobile phone, and called his uncle Takeda Kazutsu.

"...Hello." On the other end of the phone, Takeda Kazutsu's tone was a little weak.

"Uncle, are you at... an izakaya?" Noticing the noisy sound coming from the receiver, Yumi guessed.

"Well, Xiao Hai...are you better?" Judging from the voice, Takeda Kazutsu should have drunk a lot of wine.

"I'm fine, Uncle." Yu Wei thought to himself that he was probably socializing with coaches and consultants from other schools, so he said something to reassure him, "I'm going back to the dormitory to rest, see you tomorrow morning. "

"Uh-huh."

Before hanging up the phone, she heard "Xiao Wu! Is that your girlfriend? Xiao Wu, you should get married too!" from the other side.

The corner of Yu Wei's mouth twitched slightly, thinking that the operation of the club is not a simple matter, even the consultant teacher has to accompany the drink... It seems that compared with the showbiz full of temptations of interests, the world of ordinary people is not What utopia.

Still a good game...

The game will not betray me...

She returned to the dormitory with a sigh, and after knocking on the door, a cute girl with a golden bob head came into view.

Kiyoko Shimizu introduced her before, and she is also the manager of the Karasuno volleyball club. It seems to be called "Yanji Jinhua", right?

"Good evening, Gudi." After confirming that her memory was correct, she hurriedly greeted the girl.

"You... hello!" I don't know if Yumi who is wearing a mask looks too suspicious, or the girl is more timid, Yumi saw that she trembled obviously, and her voice was a little weak, "Yes...it's Takeda The teacher's... niece is... right! Shimizu-senpai told me..."

Although she looked terrified, she let Yumi enter the room.

"Yeah." Yu Wei nodded, seeing the girl's appearance, he immediately explained, "Sorry, I wear a mask because of my health."

"Um... um, is it a cold?" Hearing what she said, the girl's mood was obviously much normal, "Have you taken your medicine?"

"It's not a cold." It was the first time Yu Wei entered this kind of ordinary high school dormitory, and he glanced around curiously, fixed his eyes on the desk not far away, and murmured, "It's just that I have some allergies."

"Hey—then you really worked hard!"

"……fine."

It turned out that this was a female high school student, Yu Wei remembered that she was a freshman in high school, and felt a little excited.

In the past, except for the handshake meeting, she had almost no close contact with ordinary high school students. The students in communication schools are basically actors, models and idols...Ordinary JK is too novel to her.

Novelty and beautiful.

My heart seems to be full of bubbles, colliding in this seemingly ordinary and clean room, fermenting a pleasant temperature.

"I, I still have to do practice questions, Aoi-san, you can call me if you have anything to do."

"um. Thank you."

"Senior Shimizu went to the bathhouse, it will close at 10 o'clock, Aoi-san, be careful not to miss it~"

"Uh-huh."

It's not easy being a high school student...

Seeing that the manager of the volleyball department who came all the way from Miyagi Prefecture to participate in the club camp without rest on weekends, and had to do the questions under the drowsiness of sleepiness, Yu Wei felt emotional again.

Hmm... When she goes back, she will study hard too!

However, before that...

[Crackling, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, ping, thump——]

... What she wants to attack is the target in front of her.

This big boss... I don't believe I can't beat you to death!

It's like once you learn how to swim and ride a bicycle, even if you haven't touched it for a long time, you won't forget the feeling... Although at the beginning, he frequently took the dog because of his hands, but after a few rounds, Yu Wei found the feeling.

[Congratulations! 】

As the sound effect of the completion of the strategy finally came from the game console, Yu Wei said "GOODJOB!" with some excitement... and then felt a gust of cold wind blowing into his chest.

This midsummer night...why is it still so cold.

She put away the game console and got up.

Because she was afraid of disturbing Gu Di Renhua's work, she left the dormitory not long ago, and went to the corridor downstairs to continue playing games...By the way, she ate the rice ball that was almost forgotten.

Probably because she paid too much attention to playing games, she didn't notice her leg full of mosquito bites at all.

so itchy...

She leaned over and scratched her exposed calves a few times. Red bloodstains quickly appeared on her fair skin, which looked a little shocking.

"Are you okay?" A soft male voice came from above.

"..." She immediately raised her head, and her eyes swept over the person's legs, waist, chest, neck... probably because the person was too tall, and she didn't see the other person's face until she felt her neck was a little sore.

It's a pity, probably because of the angle, his face is a bit blurry...

"I'm fine." She shook her head and got up immediately.

Very well, after she stood up, the suddenly reduced height difference allowed her neck to finally stretch out.

And she had no choice but to see his appearance clearly through the dim light in the corridor.

Black hair, slanted eyes, pretty handsome... just, I don't know him.

"you……"

The moment he met Yu Wei's eyes, the pupils of the hanging eyes suddenly tightened a little, and Yu Wei realized that he had just taken off the mask because of eating and didn't put it back on... Sausage Mouth is terrified.She smiled wryly in her heart, and was about to say "Thank you, goodbye" and leave, when she saw a person jumping out from behind the boy, with a somewhat excited voice going straight through the eardrum——

"You... you... haven't we met somewhere!?"

???

The person who came was a boy with an owl-like hairstyle, probably because of the hairstyle... His height seemed to be higher than his sling eyes, and his gaze was even hotter——

"Yes, sure enough, you..."

"Senior Mutu, your way of striking up a conversation is too backward." Diao Diaoyan interrupted him expressionlessly, then looked at Yuwei again, "Sorry to trouble you."

"It's okay." Yu Wei shook his head, just wanting to leave here quickly.

"Are you Wuye's manager?" Diao Diaoyan asked suddenly, his tone had returned to the previous softness.

"Hey - I just said I've seen it!" The boy with the owl haircut pouted, with a stubborn expression of "I didn't strike up a conversation, I'm telling the truth".

"Because I saw you standing by Karasuno's side during training today." Diao Diao ignored his words and continued to look at Yu Wei, "There are a lot of mosquitoes here, it's best not to stay outside at night."

I want to go back too, Yu Wei thought to herself.

Then he left after saying "Thank you...I'm not a manager, just a non-staff member".

"External staff? Why does it sound like a person's name..."

"Senior Wood Rabbit, no one would call you a 'non-staff'."

"Hey—don't you think it looks like a person's name, f———"

"Senior Wood Rabbit, your voice is too loud and you will disturb others."

"Hey—Chiwei, you've been targeting me since just now!"

"It's your illusion, Senior Wood Rabbit."

The two people behind were still arguing about something, Yu Wei had no time to take care of it.

Her legs were itching to death, and...she had to take a shower before the bathroom closed.

Although it was already night, she put the mask back on in fear of another accident like just now.

I have to say... this approach is very sensible.

Because, when she was going upstairs, she met Hinata Xiangyang and... Momo-kun who were walking from the other end of the corridor.

"Student Aoi—!" Hinata Xiangyang greeted her with a shining light like the sun again.

Yu Wei nodded, "Good evening." Her eyes fixed on the grinding face, "By the way..." This encounter is also very coincidental, "I have already defeated the BOSS." She conveniently put the game console in her hand Handed it to the boy, "I'm sorry, I've played with it so much that I'm about to run out of battery."

"..." The boy was slightly taken aback, and raised his hand to take it, "It's okay."

His voice is still cold and faint, compared to that of Hinata Xiangyang's voice, which seems to radiate 100% heat.

"Hey——Student Aoi is so amazing—I really want to see how you operate—!"

The boy didn't realize that he would disturb other classmates by speaking so loudly.

Yu Weibian kindly reminded, "Hyuga-kun, loud noises are not allowed here."

"Oh... sorry." The boy immediately lowered the volume, and continued to repeat what he just said, "...I really want to see how you operate..."

"Tomorrow morning." Seeing his expectant look, Yu could not bear to refuse, "I will demonstrate it to you at breakfast tomorrow."

"Hmm, that's it."

"Ah."

*****

"Student Aoi is really amazing..."

After Yumi left, Hinata Xiangyang was still sighing.

He met Lone Claw, the setter of the volleyball club of Sound Comet High School, in the bathroom.

Fortunately, I met a boy, otherwise the men's room with incandescent lights flickering strangely for some reason would be a bit scary...

Because the dormitory rooms of the two schools were next to each other, the two returned on the same road—by the way, the boys lived in Datongpu.On the way back just now, I met Yumi Aoi coming up from the first floor.

"Xiangyang..."

At the moment of parting, Lonely Claw looked at the screen of the game console that was on in his hand, and asked lightly, "Who is that student Aoi?"

"Huh? Aoi-san is the niece of our consultant teacher..."

"Niece..." Lone Claw looked at Hinata Xiangyang, "Is she the manager of your volleyball club?"

"No..." Xiangyang Hinata immediately shook his head, "Student Aoi was also studying in Tokyo before, but he will transfer to our school next semester."

"Oh." Lone Claw Grinding seemed not interested in the information Hinata Xiangyang provided, his expression was still as calm as usual.

Calm, expressionless... Shaking the game console in his hand, he told Xiangyang about a piece of information he had just discovered.

"This student Qingjing only took 3 minutes and 48 seconds to fight the big boss, breaking the current record on the Internet."

The author has something to say: Red Reed Beauty and Wooden Tutu are here~~

I want to leave a message, I love you ^_^

Because some readers told me that they are not familiar with the idol system, and there may be some related vocabulary that they do not understand.

And because the article will involve many details of the original work,

So in the future, I will mark it in the author's words.

Some notes:

1. The general election (mainly refer to AKB48), where fans buy CDs or register as official paying members, and vote for the members they like in the group, and the final ranking will determine the position of the next album;

2. Each member does not necessarily sign with the same economic company. Generally, popular members will be signed out and get their own jobs. Activities are divided into group activities and individual activities;

3. Social accounts/channels, etc. can only be opened with the permission of the brokerage company.

Some settings about this article:

1. Yuwei's height is 169, which is about the same height as Grinding, and taller than Xiangyang, but it won't grow any longer;

2. Yuwei is actually prone to obesity.

Some TIPS about the original:

1. Mama Sugawara's favorite food is super spicy mapo tofu;

2. Momo loves playing games very much, and his future is strongly related to Youtube and games;

3. Tanaka Ryunosuke and Nishitani Yu like idols very much, especially Tanaka Ryunosuke. There are idol posters at home;

4. There are idol posters posted in the locker room of the volleyball club.

Anyway, thanks for your support.
