[Volleyball] Ace Defense

What kind of person are you?Asamoto Rie is actually very clear.

If she is sure of something that can be successful, she will definitely work hard.When she was in middle school, because she liked to eat desserts like chocolate and candy, she didn't have slender legs and a proud figure like other girls.Just like thousands of girls want to be beautiful, after the junior high school graduation ceremony, Asamoto Rie started to lose weight.I refuse all desserts, go for a run in the park near my home every morning, and do yoga at home when the sun is strong in the afternoon.

After persisting for a whole month, she finally managed to lose ten kilograms.She already had a pretty face, but when her waist and calves became thinner, she put on beautiful clothes and dressed up a bit, and she was completely different from the fat girl in middle school who had a little low self-esteem.

[Because it is sure to succeed. 】

As long as you work hard, you will succeed in losing weight.As long as you keep doing the questions, you will definitely be able to get into the high school you want to go to.But these efforts have a premise: the results can meet expectations.If it is sports, whether it is track and field or badminton, it is not that Rie Asamoto has never tried it, but when she came to the conclusion that "no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with others", she quickly gave up participating. The idea of ​​the sports club, joined the astronomy club after entering Aoba Josai.

Maybe she did it with a very obvious utilitarianism, but it's understandable.Compared with those efforts that do not know whether they will succeed, it is often happier to be able to succeed as long as you work hard.For things that I don’t know if they will succeed, Asamoto Rie will only try. After trying, she is sure that there is value in hard work, and she will work hard. If there is no value, she can’t make herself happy, so what’s the use of hard work?It's just that the values ​​are different.

Oi Chuanche's confession is also an attempt.

Girls always look forward to love.I hope that my boyfriend is handsome, gentle, and will pamper me.If you are a popular campus character, you will be very proud when you talk about boyfriend with your good friends, completely satisfying your little vanity.Of course, the most important factor in choosing to confess to Oi Chuanche is that he was deeply attracted by the figure of the other party playing volleyball.What's more, it seems that Ji Chuanche always has a smile on his face, and he looks very easy to get along with.

So, after analyzing various factors, I felt that I would be very happy if I could fall in love with Oikawa Toru, and Asamoto Rie confessed to Oikawa Toru.

In fact, thinking about it now, the reason why Oi Chuanche agreed to date is probably because she is the first girl to confess, and she is not bad looking, so she can try to get along with her.

Unlike other girls who wrote love letters and stuffed them in the cabinet, Asamoto Rie invited Oikawa Toru to the grass behind the volleyball hall after training and confessed directly face to face.Very direct.

"Let's break up, Toru-kun."

[Because I don't want to make worthless efforts at all. 】

"...Eh?" Oikawa Toru in front of him opened his eyes wide in surprise, but he was neither excited nor anxious.It's just a very ordinary expression of surprise.If it is an ordinary lover, at this time, they will definitely ask "why" or express a firm attitude such as "it is impossible to break up".

To be honest, does Oikawa Toru really like her...?

It was really fun at first.Asamoto Rie also did her homework very seriously.She quietly observes or inquires about Chuanche's favorite things, and also works hard to learn volleyball-related knowledge that she is not good at, actively sends text messages, goes on dates and watches movies.All efforts are aimed at deepening each other's feelings.

but.

In Toru Oikawa's heart, No. 1 will never be Asamoto Rie, but volleyball that Asamoto Rie will never understand.

As long as the department's activities are carried out normally, Ji Chuanche never thinks about other things.Everything is premised on volleyball.What Asamoto Rie absolutely never thought about, but the fact is that the place where she and Oikawa Toru have the most "dates" is at the volleyball stadium in the west of Aoba Castle.It sounds funny, but most of Oikawa's appointments with Asamoto Rie are in volleyball halls. With this reason, "Asamoto-chan came to volleyball practice today? I learned a super good serve!"

God knows, she wasn't interested at all.

No!feel!prosper!interest!ah!

Although what attracted her at the beginning was Oi Chuanche's handsome figure playing volleyball, but it doesn't mean that she always needs to rely on that handsome back to chat/comfort herself when dating.When chatting with friends, they will talk about their boyfriends. Asamoto Rie heard no one who didn’t go to eat cakes together, travel together, go to the boyfriend’s house to play, hold hands, kiss, and when she was asked , Asamoto Rie is always difficult to speak.

There are only a handful of dates to go to the amusement park or the dessert shop together, and most of the time is to sit on the sidelines of the gymnasium and watch Kawatoru practice volleyball.There will indeed be holding hands, but most of them are initiated by Asamoto Rie; as for kissing, it never happened at all.

So is she really dating Oikawa Toru?

"Mr. Che is very gentle, but...it doesn't feel right. This is not how relationships are done."

In addition to focusing most of his attention on volleyball and ignoring Asamoto Rie, Oikawa Toru also has a fatal flaw, which any girl with the status of "girlfriend" cannot tolerate, and that is attitude.Oikawa is too frivolous.

Indeed, Oi Chuanche is usually very gentle, always smiling, and is very comfortable to get along with.But this kind of gentleness is not exclusive to Asamoto Rie.It seems that Ji Chuanche is so gentle to everyone.He would respond with a smile when he was cheered up by the girls, and he would respond with a smile when he was cheered up by the girls, and he would not show a trace of impatience when he was surrounded by girls after the game.

(She's not special.)

For Oikawa, volleyball is special.

"At the beginning, I was indeed attracted by Toru-kun, but I couldn't feel that kind of realism at all, even if Toru-kun was in a relationship with me, he treated me no differently from other girls. I'm not In particular, apart from having the status of 'girlfriend', she is essentially no different from other girls. For Toru-kun, volleyball is the most important thing...I'm not blaming Toru-kun, because playing volleyball Toru-kun is charming. But Toru-kun doesn't seem to be that emotionally invested in anyone anymore except volleyball."

"Besides, I don't have that liking for Toru-kun anymore."

The obsession with appearance and the pursuit of vanity are too shallow, and happiness is the most important thing.In the interaction with Oikawa Toru, she felt tired.No matter how hard you put in, you can't see the result, and the infatuation at the beginning gradually disappeared under the power of time.Compared with being a lover, perhaps being an ordinary friend can be happier.

Rie Asamoto doesn't like competitions because they produce tears and sadness.No matter how attractive the process is, she is unwilling to work hard for a game that cannot be won.Therefore, Asamoto Rie is unwilling to make more efforts for the unsustainable and not sweet relationship.Because that makes no sense.Compared with the bitter result, she is more willing to pick the sweetness of success.

She raised her head and looked at Oi Chuanche, who had a gentle smile on his face, "Ah, is that so? I see." She thoughtfully said words of understanding, "I'm sorry, Asamoto-chan, I haven't considered it all this time. It depends on your mood." Without retention, without anger, naturally there will be no regrets.

It is indeed gentle, personable, and very comfortable to get along with.But that thoughtfulness was completely devoid of emotion.Tenderness almost cruel.

Ah, what is it that you care about?What can make the smile on your face slightly distorted because of me?

"...Che-kun likes Xiang-chan, right?"

It worked.Asamoto Rie saw that the arc of Oikawa Toru's mouth froze for such a short moment.

"What are Asamoto-chan talking about, Xiang-chan is a boy?" Oikawa Toru was a little confused, but he quickly gave an answer.

Perhaps for Oikawa Toru, Hinata Xiangyang is also special.It's just that Oi Chuanche didn't notice it.

Said "Because I made an appointment to play volleyball with Xiang-chan before, I'm sorry" and turned down the date with her; I was told by a friend that I saw Hinata Xiangyang (the original words were a boy with orange hair) in a cake shop Together; the frequency of sending emails to Xiangyang Hinata is higher than sending emails to her.

For such a thing, if you want to say that you hate it, Asamoto Rie doesn't feel that way at all.Because Hinata Xiangyang is not annoying at all, not to mention, she also has an inexplicable affection for Hinata Xiangyang.Although scared in the haunted house, he still mustered up the courage to protect her.Lovely birthday present in the mail.warm smile.

If you want to complain, it's probably "It's true that Toru-kun is a complete volleyball idiot".

"Yes, how could Toru-kun like boys. I said something strange." Let her have a little revenge too.She will definitely not wake up Oi Chuanche - just let Oi Chuanche, a volleyball idiot, take a long time to see his mind clearly, doesn't it matter?

She raised the corner of her skirt and ran to Oi Chuanche's side, reached out her hand to hold Oi Chuanche's arm, and said with a smile on her face, "Then, let Mr. Che fulfill his boyfriend's responsibility for the last time and send me home, okay?"

I could smell the saponins wafting from Ji Chuanche's body, the sober smell of grass and trees.Large swaths of sunlight poured down through the gaps in the trees, leaving mottled light and shadow on the ground.Step on these colors to move forward.

The sound of leather shoes rubbing against the ground.The melodious birdsong.The sound of the wind blowing.

Raising his head, the bright and warm sunlight irritated his eyes slightly.Physiological fluid moistened the sour corners of his eyes.

Her summer is just beginning.
