[Comprehensive main volleyball] long distance pass

The result of the qualifying round was as Chiho expected.

Although Shiratorizawa made timely adjustments two days before the game, he still lost to Beichuan No. [-] Middle School in the final life-and-death battle due to lack of enough practice.

There is no other reason, but they are not strong enough.There is only one reason for the loser.

The junior high school volleyball club has only one big tournament in summer this year. After their third year ended regrettably, the third-year seniors headed by Kujo, Chiba, and Saito retired to prepare for the entrance examination. The freshman Tamura was promoted to captain, several first-year substitutes entered the main draft, and the rest had to wait for the next year's recruitment to replenish the team with fresh blood.

The department activities after school became deserted in an instant.

"Alas." Chiho sighed, and threw the latest monthly volleyball magazine back into her backpack.

It published the final report of the junior high school men's volleyball event in the just-concluded National Comprehensive Sports Conference. A powerful school from Tokyo won the championship.

The school resources in Tokyo are still better, she thought.

She picked up the score sheet again, and looked at the players who were taking turns practicing serve on the field.

After experiencing the setback in the training match, Ushido seemed to have grown a lot, and even accepted the defeat in the qualifiers very calmly.

Chiho couldn't help but recall the scene when he declared war on Oikawa, and smiled bitterly.

Ahh what a shame--

Ushishima didn't say a word. After retiring from the third grade and changing his teammates, he only had one goal in mind, which was to keep training and evolving, and to maximize the advantage of his left-handed spike.

"Ushishima~ I'll leave the volleyball club to you, don't let everyone down." Kujo Hikaru said.

The first semester is coming to an end, and the summer vacation is coming soon.

"What? Summer Festival?" Chiho was sitting in the room with the air conditioner blowing on the air and was playing against Kiriyama Rei online. Her friend Kaori Komiya at the front table called and kindly invited her to participate in the annual Miyagi festival at the end of the summer vacation. event.

She grew up in the local area and naturally knew it, but she prefers to stay at home for entertainment and has never been to such outdoor activities.

Just kidding, the amount of exercise just to practice with Niu Dao every day is not enough.

"Yeah, Yasuhara, why are you coming? Several classmates asked me to go with me, so I'll just come and ask you. Don't tell me you've never been there..." Komiya said casually, she didn't really believe that Chiho had never been there until now. I have never been to a summer festival.

"I'm sorry, I really haven't been there." Chiho replied lazily, clicked the mouse and made a move. She just wants to play chess with her idol, and she's not interested in summer festivals.

"Ah—?!" Xiao Gong's exaggerated screams came from the phone, and she was so frightened that she hurriedly pulled the phone away, lest the noise would continue to ravage|ravage her ears.

I don't know how long it took Komiya to recover from the shock, but the match between Chiho and Zero has reached the final stage of intense heat.

Chiho stared nervously at the chessboard on the screen. She was at a disadvantage when the countdown to the move was too long, and she couldn't waste a single minute.

She couldn't hear what Xiaogong said on the phone later, and she just responded casually with "um, um".

Although Chiho worked hard to build her city on the chessboard, Kiriyama Rei still nibbled away at her chess pieces step by step without any suspense in the end, taking the check and winning.

Satisfied, she typed "Thank you for your advice" in the dialog box, and the one-sided conversation between her and Komiya came to an end.

"Then it's settled~ You must come! Then call me~" Xiaogong finally said.

Only when her attention returned to the phone call did Chiho keenly catch the key information in her words.

"Wait a minute—what do you mean by 'you'? Isn't it just me?"

"Hey, isn't there that boy from the volleyball team who is always with you? Everyone really wants to meet him~"

Chiho was dumbfounded.

But he really couldn't remember what he promised Xiaogong just now.

It's not good to break a promise to a friend.

"Okay...well..." Chiho replied with difficulty.

"Hmm, then it's settled!"

Chiho hung up the phone, buried her head in the pillow, and began to worry about how to tell Ushijima about this matter.

——Or make an excuse that he has other things to shirk?

This is indeed the safest way. A group of classmates who are not familiar with Niu Dao are suddenly interested in him. It is very strange to think that they may do something to him.

She picked up her phone and sent Niu Dao a message.

Let's just ask him if he wants to go.

If she could really go with him, Chiho felt that it would not be so bad.

Udo's reply was clean and neat, with only one word "yes".

Eh?Just agree so easily?Chiho frowned.

I didn't ask a superfluous sentence, and didn't say a superfluous word.

Now it was her turn to worry herself.

There is still one day until the festival starts.

Chiho only thought of this when she received the news from Komiya. After dinner, she talked with her mother. Yasuhara Asa said that of course she should dress up and go play!

"No need... I think it's good to go as usual." Chiho said.

"How can this work! The summer festival is the event that can create the best memories, and the girls will dress up for the people they like!"

"No problem is I haven't..."

"Then let the other party remember you well~" Ma Ma blinked meaningfully, then walked into her room.

So Chiho watched helplessly as her mother dug out several bathrobes she wore when she was a child from the closet, tried them on for herself, and chose the one she was most satisfied with: a white background with a pink cherry blossom pattern, The belt is pink, fresh and not kitsch.Put on ceremonial make-up on the face, and then use a silver hairpin decorated with the same cherry blossom pattern to tie up the long hair, put it behind the head, and step on a pair of clogs——

huh?

She looked at herself in the mirror and was so surprised that she almost couldn't recognize who it was.

Chiho herself was not short, and she had a well-proportioned figure. Although she was relatively young at this time, she already exuded an indescribably elegant temperament after this attire.

Mamiko Yasuhara looked at her "masterpiece" proudly, and nodded frequently as if intoxicated.

"My daughter is just beautiful~hahahahaha! Do your best tomorrow~ Give that kid a one-hit kill!"

"I told you that you think too much!"

The girl in the mirror blushed, stomped her feet and walked away quickly.

As a result, I went obediently dressed like this the next day.

Udo arrived at the appointed place wearing a simple dark gray bathrobe.

Seeing the question Chiho carefully typed on the phone, he agreed without much thought.

For Ushima, this is a simple, large-scale event at the end of the summer vacation.

It's only natural to hang out with friends.

When he was a child, he went to this kind of festival with his parents. At that time, the rich and colorful entertainment items could arouse his interest. He walked around holding his father's hand, and the boy's eyes were full of happiness.

——But now, that kind of scene can no longer be seen.

Chiho's appearance shattered his memories.

The flow of people around is bustling.

He heard a "Zuo Li", a familiar voice came from the front, and a slender figure came from far to near——

"It's beautiful." He subconsciously said.

Chiho was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect that Ushijima's first sentence would be this.

"Hmm...thank you." Chiho was thinking about how to break the awkward atmosphere when she suddenly saw a group of people coming from the opposite side.

It's the seniors of the volleyball club, Tamura, Ozaki, and Kitajima.

Chiho seemed to see a savior, and hurriedly waved to them.

Ozaki was the first to notice the two people in front of him, he pulled Tamura and Bei Dao and rushed over: "Oh! You are here too! Yasuhara, you look so good today~ Do you want to go shopping together?"

Facing the gracious invitation from the senior, Chiho replied: "Let Ruoli accompany you guys, I still have an appointment with someone else..."

She originally wanted to transfer Niu Dao away before Xiao Gong and the others came.

"An Yuan!" Xiao Gong's voice came from behind her.

This is too coincidental!

——The end of the meeting of the three parties was that a large army of nearly ten people marched through the streets of the Summer Festival.

Apart from training in the volleyball club, Chiho had never been with so many people before.

Komiya and the others kept asking questions around the seniors in the volleyball club. Fortunately, Ozaki was acquainted, so the conversation never got cold. A group of people got together and had a lively chat, except for Bei Dao who silently followed.

Ushishima didn't talk too much, he just walked leisurely beside Chiho, stopping from time to time to look at the stalls on both sides.

The streets of the summer festival are brightly lit, and the air at the end of summer nights begins to heat up in such a crowded place, further heating up the atmosphere here.

Chiho walked silently, automatically separating herself from the crowd over there.She was not quite used to it for the first time, and she didn't know where to look.

Fortunately, the group of people finally reached the end of the road, and the time was approaching the hour, and the fireworks display was about to begin.

I don't know who said excitedly: "Look at the sky!"

Suddenly in the night, countless colorful fireworks bloomed.

The boys and girls have their own concerns, looking up at the night sky, hoping to seize the eternity of that moment, as if time will stop at this moment forever.

Chiho felt his palm catch her own and held it tightly.

She didn't look at the expression on Udo's face, but quietly made a wish in her heart:

May we all have a day when our wishes come true.Please take care of me in the coming year, Ruoli.

After watching the fireworks, everyone said goodbye to each other quickly, and each set foot on the way home.

"I didn't expect this kind of festival to be quite fun." Chiho said, "Has Ruori been here before?"

"I visited with my parents when I was a child, but they haven't been here since they divorced."

"Oh... sorry." Knowing that she had poked Ushishima's sore spot, Chiho hurriedly apologized.

"No, there's nothing to apologize for." Ushishima thought he was just stating the facts.

"Don't you miss him? Your father." She was curious, since Ushido hardly ever mentioned him after his parents divorced.

"Yes."

How could the man who insisted on preventing his family from correcting his left-handedness and teaching him volleyball not to think about him.

But since he was married to his mother and had him, why did he leave after teaching himself so hard.

Ushido never knew the truth.

——Will the important people around me end up like this?Leave me alone, but don't give me any news.

He lowered his head and looked at Chiho beside him.The silver hairpin on the girl's head shone in the night, like stars in the sky.

—Will she do it too?

When this idea popped up, Ushido felt a tingle in his heart.

"Is that so..." Chiho fell silent, looking up at the sky, thinking carefully.

The two walked to the door of Yasuhara's house, and Chiho said goodbye to Ushijima again.

"Well, then I'll go back, see you tomorrow." Ushido was referring to the routine volleyball training.

"Okay, okay~ See you tomorrow." Chiho yawned and took out the keys from the pocket she was carrying.

"Chiho, I..." She thought Ushijima had already left, but he added another sentence.

"What's the matter? If it means that you ask for additional training, I will not accompany you." The key was inserted into the door lock.

"No, it's all right, good night." After Ushidao finished speaking, his eyes darkened, and he turned and walked away.

What... I clearly wanted to say something just now.

Hesitant to talk, not like him at all.

What could it be?

She couldn't figure it out.

Chiho shook her head and closed the door.

The author has something to say:

What does Boss Niu want to say in the end~ I will mention it later.
