In the reincarnation of the seasons, Chiho finally became one of the oldest seniors in the volleyball club of Shiratorizawa Middle School.

On the first day of entering the third grade, she held a thick stack of application forms in her arms, stood by the volleyball court, and looked at the first-year freshmen who had passed the entrance test neatly lined up in front of her.

She couldn't help but recall the day when she and Niu Dao first stepped here.

Kujo-senpai's hearty smile, Saito-senpai and Chiba-senpai's awkward sarcasm, Tamura-senpai and Ozaki-senpai's concern, and that quiet Kitajima-senpai.

Among the previous seniors, except Ozaki-senpai who was promoted to Shiratorizawa High School, Tamura and Kitajima both chose different schools.

It turned out that their state of mind at that time was like this. Only when they really came to this step can they deeply appreciate the joy and sorrow.

I just hope that I can selflessly pass on the results of my two years of hard work to the younger generations, so that this team can continue to flourish.

Only in this way can we be worthy of those seniors who treat themselves like this and keep working hard for victory.

"Welcome." Captain Ushido standing beside her said, his calm voice gave a sense of strength and stability: "Please take care of me in the future."

Within a few days, coach Jiujiang arranged for the main players who will play this year. Ushido naturally sits firmly at the core, and the retired seniors will be replaced by last year's substitutes. Libero has arranged for a new talent First-year players join.

The remaining first graders still need to practice for a year before they can play in the arena next year.Among them, there was a main attacker named Wu Segong who impressed Chiho very much, because he uttered bold words in front of everyone, saying that he would surpass Ushido to become the most powerful trump card in the county.

——Very courageous, come on.After hearing this, Chiho tilted her head towards the round-faced boy with the doll's haircut, and encouraged her in her heart.

If he could really do it, Chiho felt that it would be a good thing for Ushijima.

On that snowy night, Udo's words were like a spell, entangled more and more tightly in her heart.

It not only relieved her, but also made her feel worried from time to time.

—Do you really like volleyball, Jolly?

Chiho thought of Xiao Ling who didn't like shogi but was still playing the game desperately. He just rose to the fifth dan this March.

She looked at the figure of Ushido practicing smashing the ball on the court, and the left hand with absolute oppression hit the ball to the ground, which made the first graders who watched it up close for the first time talk a lot.

"Senior Ushido is amazing!"

"I feel like my arm will break if I catch that ball!"

"Wow... that's scary. Fortunately, I came to Shiratorizawa. As an opponent, I will definitely be blown away by this ball."

Listening to these words, Chiho smiled knowingly, and silently made a note in the record book.

——What was I thinking, of course he likes volleyball more than anyone else.

Just understanding this is enough for her.

This year's prefectural qualifiers, because of the draw, Shiratorizawa did not meet Beichuan No. [-] Middle School in the final, but faced them in the semi-final ahead of schedule.

Oikawa has become the captain of the volleyball club of Beichuan No. [-] Middle School, and Iwaizumi, who is almost inseparable from him, has become the deputy captain, and is his most trusted and tacit partner.Moreover, Oikawa also won the best setter award at the county sports meeting not long ago, and became the two most watched stars of this competition just like Ushido.

Now is the preparation time before the game. In the corridor of the Sendai Gymnasium, Chiho, who has no coaching duties, is carrying a box of sports drinks in her hand, planning to distribute them to the players before the game. Ayane is checking the information with the staff on the field. .

"That... the senior from Shiratorizawa? Do you need my help?" At this time, a polite, slightly immature voice sounded behind her.

Chiho stopped, and the boy walked quickly to her side, allowing her to see his face clearly.

With a handsome face and dark blue eyes, he was wearing the sportswear of Beichuan No. [-] Middle School, half a head shorter than her.

The name tag on the chest reads "Kageyama Tobio".

——New team members?Haven't seen it in previous competitions, first grade?

Chiho thought in her heart, causing her to hesitate, and she didn't speak immediately.

This made the boy nervous: "No... I'm sorry, I disturbed my senior!" A blush appeared on his face, and his eyes wandered around, not knowing where to look.

"Pfft." Chiho was amused by his cute expression: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry~ I didn't realize it, so please, Kageyama-san~"

She handed the box to Kageyama, and the boy took it with trembling hands.

——The whole body is stiff, is it really okay to leave it to him?

Chiho and Kageyama walked side by side towards the competition venue, Kageyama's face was still red, and he didn't say a word, so Chiho had no choice but to say: "Kageyama-san, please relax a little~ I was so nervous before the match against the field. performance will also be affected.”

Kageyama lowered his head and looked at the floor: "No, I won't play this year." His tone was full of loneliness.

"Is that so...it's okay, Kageyama-san is only in the first grade, and there are still many opportunities in the future." Chiho felt that this was very normal and comforted him.

"But..." Kageyama didn't seem to relax, "I want to be as strong as Oikawa-senpai...but he won't teach me how to serve."

"Oh~ Kageyama-san is also a setter?" Chiho suddenly realized that she and Oikawa were playing in the same position, so the pressure must be great.

She thought about it, and gave some advice: "If he doesn't want to teach you, you can pester him~or learn by observing yourself."

"Although Oikawa-kun likes to tease people a little bit, but his nature is still very good, and his skills are even more top-notch, Kageyama-san, you have to work hard!" The two had already walked to the entrance of the venue, Chiho took the box from him, and asked the name After the boy thanked him, he walked towards his team's half court.

Kageyama fell silent when he heard Chiho's words. He looked at her slender back and realized that it was Shiratorizawa's manager.

——If it’s your opponent, why did you say this to me?

He frowned and thought, and suddenly felt a heavy weight on his shoulders.

Oikawa's ethereal voice came: "Xiao Feixiong~ What are you doing here?" He said as he glanced towards the direction Kageyama was staring at.

As far as the eye could see, was the figure of Chiho who was distributing drinks to the Shiratorizawa team members.

He hooked the corners of his lips imperceptibly, and said with a teasing smile: "What~ I was peeking at Chiho-chan, Xiao Feixiong, you have a lot of ideas! If you have a crush on her, go confess it~ But..."

Niu Ruojiang will give her a good lesson, she will definitely.

Before he could finish speaking, Kageyama, who was successfully "tricked" by Oikawa's words, immediately bristled like a cat with fried hair, sweated profusely, and argued, "No! I didn't! Senior Oikawa, you misunderstood!"

Arms were waving wildly, bewildered.

Oikawa just shrugged his shoulders, stuck out his tongue and walked away. He just came from the locker room to change into the team uniform for the game, and the team was still waiting for him, the captain, to go to town.

What he said to Kageyama was of course a joke, so that he could relax before the game.

——Last year's defeat and Shiratorizawa's national championship have made him unable to retreat this year. If he loses again this time, his junior high school volleyball career will come to an unsatisfactory end.

The award for the best setter can't be equated with this game. What he hopes is to lead a whole team to completely defeat this powerful opponent.

"If you want to fight, you have to fight until the opponent can't stand up" is his motto, although he knows that these words are so powerless for Shiratorizawa where Ushishima is located.

The opponent was last year's national champion.

Almost no one is expecting them to win.

The pressure on Oikawa can be imagined, but he has never backed down, and this time the qualifiers must be won no matter what.

He turned his head and looked at Kageyama who was sitting on the bench. The eyes of this new recruit were flickering, as if he didn't realize what kind of fierce battle they were about to face.

Chiho-chan, what did you do to Feixiong——

Oikawa narrowed his eyes, although he really wanted to know, but now is not the time to think about it.

The game was won by Shiratorizawa 2-1. Most of the audience thought it was a miracle that Beichuan No. [-] Middle School could win the next game from the opponent.

Only the two sides on the field know how difficult this battle is.

Ushido played three full rounds. The fast-paced and high-intensity offense of the game made him drenched in sweat, and his muscles felt more fatigued than ever before.

Beichuan No. [-] Middle School led by Oikawa is the most difficult this year. He has played the role of setter to the extreme. No matter how strong Ushishima is, he can hardly resist the concerted efforts of the opponent by one person. But Ushishima has sharpened himself under the training of coach Jiujiang, so that he can suppress the opponent with absolute strength. .

After the game, Oikawa did not come back to shake hands with Ushishima friendly like last year.

Chiho looked at Oikawa who was sitting on the stool surrounded by teammates comforting him from a distance, her eyes darkened.

But this is a competitive game, where there is a win, there is a loss, it is fair and cruel, except for wishing him to become stronger in his heart, Chiho can do nothing.

She followed the team out of the arena first, not noticing the sight from Tokio Kageyama.

It was the first time for Kageyama to see such a fierce competition, and it was also the first time to see Oikawa-senpai show such an expression.

——Usually, the corners of the eyes are often crooked and smiling, the eyes are dim, and the lips are tightly pursed, no matter how others call, they will not respond.

The coercion of that Ushido Ruori has been deeply imprinted in his mind, making him tremble all over.

Is this the strength of being one of the strongest trump cards in the country?

Want to challenge, want to defeat him——

Kageyama followed the departing Shiratorizawa people with his gaze, and made up his mind.

So now, he will start from what Chiho-senpai said.

"Senior Oikawa," he stepped forward, "I must beat Ushido, so please teach me how to serve!"

Hearing this, Oikawa finally reacted. He looked up at Kageyama standing in front of him, and twitched his lips: "How is that possible, idiot Xiao Feixiong~ Let me learn from the basics!"

He stood up and smiled heartily at his worried teammates: "I'm fine, let everyone worry, and the team will be handed over to you in the future!"

Iwaizumi nodded, and silently patted his friend on the back. He has always seen his efforts. It’s hard to lose the game, but as long as the fighting spirit is still there, no matter how much they lose, they can’t stop them from moving forward.

Beichuan No. [-] Middle School stopped in the semi-finals, and Shiratorozawa Middle School defeated Kosen Academy in the final, and once again entered the country as the king.

During the final exam, the training in the team was rarely suspended for a period of time.

No matter how great the authority of Coach Washingo was, it was no match for the power of the school, and they were defeated before the only exam that could prevent them from going to Tokyo.

To Chiho's surprise, Ushijima took the initiative to ask her to study in the library this time.

The two sat facing each other, reading books quietly. The library was very quiet, only the rustling of students flipping books and writing.

Chiho immersed herself in her textbooks, and when she finished reviewing all the lessons, the school bell rang just in time.

With Niudao Juju's full supervision, she finally finished all the exercises before the exam and stopped dozing off and being lazy.

When the two walked out of the library, Chiho stretched her waist to relieve the soreness from sitting for a long time: "Ha~ I'm so tired, I really want to go home and eat quickly~"

Suddenly, she realized that she had to do it herself for today's dinner, and her whole body went limp.

Although my mother didn't go home to eat recently because she was too busy after being promoted, she still chose to cook by herself in order to save costs.

"Ugh... I don't want to cook." Tomorrow is the exam, and she plans to find a convenience store nearby to recharge her batteries.

"Come to my house to eat?" Niu Dao invited very naturally.

"Really?!" Chiho's eyes widened. Since the young master Ushidao was so generous, she was not polite: "Then I'd rather be respectful than obedient~"

Ushishima Mama hadn't seen Chiho for a while, and when she saw her coming to visit, she hugged her passionately and refused to let go for a long time.

"That... Auntie interrupted, I'm sorry to trouble you." Chiho said politely, unable to move.

"It's okay~! Xiao Chiho is here to eat whatever you want!" Graciously welcoming her into the house, Ushishima Mama ran into the kitchen.

"It's great that Auntie is still so energetic~" Chiho said with a smile, walking into Ushido's room and putting down her schoolbag.

"Well, my father has started calling home recently, and her mood has improved a lot," Ujima explained.

Chiho's eyes scanned Ushido's bookshelves, and suddenly found something that made her curious.

a photo album.

"Ruoli, can I have a look at this?" She pointed to the side cover of the album, "Is it a photo of you when you were a child?"

"Yes, look."

Chiho took down the photo album, opened it, and inside were photos full of memories——

There are scenes of Mavericks playing volleyball with his father, travel photos of a family of three going out to play, photos of Niu Dao's parents together...the people in the photos are all smiling happily, and there is no way to see the cracks that will appear in the future.

It turned out that Ruoli's childhood life was so happy... Chiho sighed, and at the same time turned the album to the last page.

Her hands froze.

Staring blankly at the photo on the back cover for a long time, Chiho stood where she was—

The photo shows the scene when I toss the ball for Maverick Island.

For some reason, her heart was jumping with joy.

——I am also one of his important memories. Such a sense of satisfaction and happiness fills the whole body, as if the whole person is about to float.

"What's the matter?" Niu Dao saw her motionless, and leaned forward to ask.

Chiho hurriedly closed the photo album: "Nothing ~ let's go eat!"

Although he still had some doubts in his heart, Ushido still replied, "Okay."

The photo album was put back in its original place, but the memories inside had already been etched into Chiho's mind, making her cherish the person who was always by her side even more.

The author has something to say:

A lot of comments suddenly rose overnight, so happy!Thank you little angels who left comments~

-------

small theater:

Oikawa: Chiho-chan~!Our little Feixiong has something to tell you!

Kageyama: No no no senpai don’t listen to Oikawa-senpai—

Chiho: Huh?What does Kageyama-san want to say?

Ushijima (drags away): Let's go, Chiho, you'll become silly talking to them.

Chiho: You are not qualified to say that, hey!
