[Comprehensive main volleyball] long distance pass

Ding-dong-

At seven thirty in the morning, the doorbell of Yasuhara's house rang on time.

"Fuck so fast?! Mom, Ushijima-kun is calling me, I'm going first!" Chiho was still eating breakfast, and before she finished eating a piece of bread, she was urged by the death bell to sprint to the ground at a speed of [-] meters. At the entrance, Yasuhara Mama took a sip of coffee gracefully, and did not forget to ask: "Say hello to Maverick Island for me."

Opening the door, what Chiho saw was Ushijima standing outside the door, with a serious expression on her face, and her uniform was meticulously tidied up, giving her a sense of "where did she come from?" illusion.

In Ushishima's eyes, Chiho's appearance is: the scarf of the sailor suit is loose, the collar is too low and almost disappears, her orange hair is disheveled in the wind, her purple eyes are half-squinted, she is obviously not awake yet, Ushishima She somehow felt like a lazy cat.

This idea was quickly vetoed by him. Ujima just turned his face slightly, with a suspicious blush on his face, and reminded: "Clean up your clothes and hair."

Chiho was busy changing her shoes and didn't notice it. She swallowed the last bite of bread, said "oh", then handed the schoolbag to Ushijima and motioned him to take it for him, and started fiddling with her uniform and hair while walking.

The two walked side by side for a while, and Chiho was finally satisfied with her image.She was just about to get her bag back, but it was Niu Dao who said first: "Sorry, did I come too early? Yasuhara, if it's not convenient for you, I will be here 10 minutes later."

——Hey, why are you apologizing first!It stands to reason that it is my fault that I am late for the appointed time, right?

There was a trace of guilt in Chiho's heart that he didn't have before, so he could only hesitate and say: "Uh... no, that, I should apologize, so... it won't happen in the future——Ushishima-kun, I'm sorry!"

She also stopped and bowed to Uu Dao, who was walking to the front, and this action aroused the attention of passers-by.

Ushishima was startled, he didn't really want her to apologize.He turned around and helped Chiho up.

The distance between the two of them was only half shoulder width at the moment, so close that Chiho raised her head to see Ushijima's face.

Niu Dao's face is well-defined, his facial features are tough and solid, and his eyes are calm and calm. This is the first time for her to watch from such a close distance.

So lovely.

It turns out that so many years have passed without knowing it, and he looks like a little grown-up.

"It's become more reliable, Ushijima-kun."

For some reason, such a sentence came out of his own mouth, which made Chiho wake up in an instant after being dozed off in fright.

Ujima just looked straight into her eyes calmly, and he didn't seem to respond from his expression.

It's okay, I hope he didn't hear it—— Chiho's eyes dodged, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you—but from now on, don't call me Ushishima-kun anymore, just call me Wakari. Correspondingly, I also hope to call you Chiho."

He actually listened to what she said just now.

The two have known each other for eight years.

Her smile, her toss, the way she cried, the temperature of her palms, her angry words, and when she looked at herself just now, her purple pupils were full of tenderness.

The words "Niu Dao-kun" sounded inexplicably harsh to his ears.

He didn't know what kind of feeling it was, and why he suddenly thought of it, he just wanted to get closer to her.Let's start with changing the name, he thought.

"Eh?" Chiho was confused, pushed Ushido away, and took three steps back, like a frightened cat.

"Ushishima-san, what's wrong with you? It's my fault for being late, but what kind of punishment is this! It's up to you how long I, I, and I practice with you today, so you..."

"This is not a punishment, it's my request." Super sincere tone.

"Oh, Ruoli." Chiho replied in seconds.

"Well, thank you, Chiho."

Ah, I can't help him--

Chiho recognized it, and "Ruoli" sounded good too, hehehe~

It takes about 10 minutes to walk from their home to Shiratorozawa Junior High School. The school starts morning reading at [-] o'clock. They were delayed for a while because of an incident on the road, and they were almost late when they arrived at school.

The two were assigned to different classes, and Chiho didn't want to be late the next day, so she bid farewell to Ruoli at the stairs and hurried to the classroom.

Chiho is in Group D for the first year, and Ruori is in Group A.Classrooms are far apart, so they generally only see each other at lunch and after school.

School life is as ordinary as ever, that is, after class, lunch break and listening to classmates chatting, and then school is over.It is no different from her primary school life.Chiho didn't like to socialize too much since she was a child, and basically only got close to the classmates at the next table. The other classmates saw that she didn't intend to join the small group, so they naturally gradually alienated her.But Chiho didn't care about these at all, on the contrary, she enjoyed being alone.

——Like a lonely chess player, all strategies and steps need to be deployed and completed alone.Influenced by her father's professional chess player, she would often fall into deep thought.

Only the time with Ruoli is special. Volleyball, which can't be played with shogi, broke into Chiho's world, but she gradually fell in love with the feeling of playing volleyball.

Especially as a setter, he is almost like a "king" on the court (Note 1). He needs a wide perspective and decisive and quick decision-making to mobilize his own players flexibly to attack the enemy. At the same time, he must take into account the Defensive, do not let the opponent have an opportunity.This not only requires a smart mind, calm judgment, and precise passing, but also requires sufficient understanding and trust in each player. The setter is truly the soul of the volleyball team.

After learning the basics of volleyball from Ushishima's father, Chiho fell in love with this position.Since you can't refuse to practice, you have to choose your favorite position to play.And her mind trained in shogi plus a little bit of talent gradually grew into an existence recognized by Ushishima and his son.Even though Ushido's father had left, she did not stop studying the position of the setter.

Similarly, Ushishima Ruori has a greater sense of dependence on her passing. If it is not for the ball she throws, he always feels dissatisfied.

—— Ruo Li expressed this idea when the two had lunch together, and invited: "So I want to invite you to join me in the volleyball club of this school as a manager. I must participate , but I can't do without your help. You also need such a position to continue to train yourself."

What I was worried about still happened.

This was Chiho's first reaction.

Originally, the purpose of being a sparring partner was to help him become stronger, but it turned out to be a hindrance.

Chiho swallowed a mouthful of rice, and just said: "Listen to me, Ruoli, if you can't get used to other people's tossing, you can't be the best one." If your father was here, he would definitely not Happy, she thought.

There were only the two of them on the roof of the school. It was spring, and the combination of warm wind and bright sun made Chiho a little sleepy. She put away her lunch box and stood up, planning to go back to the classroom and sleep on her stomach.

"I will apply to join the shogi club, I wish you a happy time with your new teammates."

A word from Ruo Li made her freeze in place.

"I asked, this school doesn't have a shogi club."

Chiho covered her face, pretending to be coercive failed, damn it!

She turned her head to look at him with a hurt face, and Ruo Li also stood up after eating, and said calmly: "I know what you mean, but I have another idea. I appreciate your skills and invite you to be the manager. I hope you can impart experience to my teammates and make them stronger."

"Yes yes yes, you are the most correct, I promise it~" He raised his hands and surrendered, this was Chiho's second compromise today.

What can I do? I am also desperate!And Juju Niu Dao, if you say that you want to teach them how to cooperate before you join the club, won't you be beaten to death by the seniors!He will definitely die a miserable death!

But Chiho knew in his heart that it was basically impossible, and he had the capital of self-confidence.

Time passed quickly, and when Chiho walked out of the classroom after school, she saw Ushijima Juju was already blocking the door, holding two completed application forms for admission.

It's over, it's too late to run now.

The author has something to say:

Note 1: Wangjiang, a chess piece name in shogi, if it is checkmate, it will lose the game.

Chiho, who is a bit tsundere, is being led by the nose by Ushishima~
