[Comprehensive main volleyball] long distance pass

Chiho didn't expect that Ushijima would confess to her at this time.

??????Obviously as long as you can pretend to be flawless until you graduate.

She didn't know why, the more she wanted to disappear from his eyes, the tighter he was.

This has never been the case before.

???Did he notice something?

During the period before the exam, Chiho spent her heart in torment, no matter how many books she read or how many chess games she played, it was of no avail.Afraid of being discovered by him, afraid of seeing his embarrassment, and even more afraid of seeing his expression after knowing the incident.

The same was true for the volleyball practice that day. The longer she spent with him, the more nervous Chiho became. This anxiety finally broke out when she couldn't bear it. disappeared from his sight.

However, the resolution made during the New Year's visit to the shrine was shaken by the impact of the phrase "I like you".

Chiho's mind went blank in Ushijima's embrace.

He said "I'm serious" and she heard his heart beat fast.

Of course she knew he wasn't joking, Ushijima Ruori never lied to anyone.

but--

You've done enough for me, Jolly.

At this moment, she was convinced that he was the hero who brought her out of the water and flew into the blue sky.

Chiho closed her eyes, yearning for the warmth in his arms, her powerful arms protecting her like eagle's wings.

??????Thank you, Ruoli, I can't repay you for what you've done to me, so I can't accept your confession yet.

Run away while I reject you, leave me as a useless cobblestone, and follow the path you have been pursuing all along, go to high school to make more and stronger teammates, get more professional coaching guidance, and find someone who can serve you well. You pull out the best toss setters, work on yourself -- and you're bound to get better.

God, this is your last chance to choose.

Coming out of Ushijima's house, Chiho was running hard on the road, the cold winter wind blew past her cheeks, her smooth orange hair was messed up, and gradually, her tears began to burst??????

If you must lead him to my side again, I probably...

I will never let him go for the rest of my life.

"What????! Xiaoqian, are you coming to Tokyo to study in high school?" On the other end of the phone, Momoi exclaimed.

"Yeah, I was busy with exams before, sorry for telling you so late~ Actually, my mother and I have already moved here." Chiho sat in her new room, the room full of cardboard boxes was very crowded now, she was busy While tidying up, he called Momoi by the way.

"It's okay, it's okay~ It's too late for me to be happy!" Momoi's tone rose, and she could hear that she was very excited, "Which high school are you going to, Xiaoqian? I'm in Tonghuang~"

"Xiu De."

Chiho's exam was not affected by that incident, her grades were not bad, she was able to enter the private high school closest to her home, the deviation was medium, and the tuition fee was still affordable.

But it is said to be a famous ascetic high school?

Chiho took out a chessboard from the box and placed it on the carpet. The hands that were arranging things stopped suddenly, staring at it in a daze.

"Xiutoku?" Momoi exclaimed, "What a coincidence~ Isn't that the school Xiaolu went to!"

"You mean Midorima-kun?" Chiho's daze was interrupted by Momoi's words, and she actually entered the same high school as that constellation maniac who had a perfect three-point shot? !

"That's right, actually... They agreed after graduating from Teiko that each of them will go to a different high school, and they will decide the winner in future competitions..." When Momoi said this, his voice became a little lonely, "Although it is very I wanted to go to Seirin with Xiaozhe, but I couldn't worry about Daochan, so I went to Tonghuang with him."

"Mayue..." Qiansui hurriedly comforted, "Let them solve their problems by themselves. It's not your fault. Don't blame yourself too much."

"Well, you're right, Chi-chan." Momoi rubbed her eyes and said with a smile.

After hanging up the phone, he turned his gaze to the chessboard in front of him again.

??????It's time to live up to my father and Xiaoling, and the courage that Ruoli gave me.

Most importantly, don't want to keep lying to yourself.

That abandoned wish when I was a child shouldn't be easily left in the dust.

Anyway, I want to give it a try.

Chiho stood up, stepped over the boxes and walked towards the living room.

"Mom," she stood at the door of the room with a serious expression, "I have something to discuss with you."

really--

At the opening ceremony of Xiude High School, Chiho found that very conspicuous emerald green head in front of the team.

Midorima seems to be much taller than she thought. Visually, he is already a terrifying 190+. As a result, he can be spotted almost immediately when he stands in the crowd with that conspicuous hair color.

The principal on the stage was still giving speeches endlessly, Chiho lowered her head and glanced at her school uniform speechlessly.

??????If she knew in advance that Xiude's school uniform was designed like this, she would definitely choose to go to another school without hesitation.

The boys are all black tops with stand-up collars and long trousers, while the girls are sailor suits with white bottoms and dark blue collars, and the hem of the skirts is longer than the knee.

I want to wear a small suit!Chiho was crying silently in her heart, and she purposely permed her hair into wavy curls before entering school, because she thought she would look more like a high school student, but now such a match feels even more inconsistent.

Hidetoku's abstinence-style campus environment makes her feel powerless to complain, and what makes Chiho feel powerless is that she and Shintaro Midorima are assigned to the same class.

The shadow of the reunion at the Tokyo Gymnasium last summer still lingers in Chiho's mind, and now she still knows the promise that the Generations of Miracles made when they graduated from Teiko.

After introducing herself, Chiho, who had just been assigned a seat, propped her head and stared at the blackboard bored.

Midorima sat on her left.

Chiho had no choice but to turn her head and gave him a friendly smile: "Long time no see, Midori-san."

Midorima also nodded slightly in response: "Hi, Yasuhara-san, why are you here?"

Although the girl in front of him had a different hairstyle and a more mature temperament, he would never forget those beautiful purple eyes.

Chiho's gaze moved down, and she noticed Midorima's hand.

???his left hand was bandaged?It also feels...

With just one glance, Chiho keenly noticed that Midorima next to her was no longer the boy with a little immature appearance and character in the Teiko period, but had become more indifferent and calm, and more conceited about her own strength .

"Because my mother was transferred to Tokyo..." she replied.

"What, what?" At this moment, the boy at the front desk in Midorima turned around and suddenly joined the conversation between the two. Chiho remembered that his name was Kazunari Takao, "So you two have known each other for a long time?"

Chiho looked at Takao, he had black hair parted in the middle, two strands of bangs on his forehead, a pair of long and narrow gray-blue eyes, his appearance was a standard handsome face, and his smile was very bright.

??????Are you familiar with yourself?Chiho thought to himself, and answered him politely: "Yes, Takao-san. Midorima-kun and I have met before, although we are not very familiar with the kind..."

"It's just that we met a few times." Midorima corrected solemnly, "Thank you for the pastries at that time... Also, I apologize to you on Akashi's behalf."

"Huh?" Midorima, a member of Miracle, would suddenly say this to her, and Chiho didn't realize it for a moment.

"What's the matter? It seems very interesting ~ Yasuhara-san, please tell me! And can I call you Xiaozhen and Xiaoqian? You can call me Xiaohe instead~ And Xiaozhen, on your desk Why are you putting this up?" For some reason, Takao seemed to be very interested in Midorima and Chiho, and kept asking questions with a smile on his face.

"I can't???! This is my lucky thing today. And Takao-san, if I remember correctly, it's the first time we met." Midorima seemed to be having trouble coping with this very enthusiastic Takao. Although his tone was gritted, Takao He answered all the questions well.

Chiho was worrying about how to end the conversation with them, the teacher on the podium announced that the class would start.

Hearing Midorima's answer, Takao froze for a moment, with a strange look on his face, but he quickly turned around, and Midorima also returned to his usual indifferent appearance.

She breathed a sigh of relief quietly, and turned her gaze to the podium. It seemed that her high school life would not be boring in the future.

In the spare time after school, Chiho found that Takao was actually very easy to get along with. He was able to talk all over the world, and she enjoyed it very much. She liked this man very much, and she readily agreed with him to call herself "Xiaoqian". .

??????If Ruoli is here, will you be unhappy again?

Chiho inexplicably thought of him who was far away in Miyagi, and hurriedly expelled this strange thought from her mind.

Midorima wasn't as difficult to communicate with as she imagined, because she heard his tricks from Momoi??????

Just remember he's a super tsundere.

Huh?Thinking about it this way, it's still a little cute?The promised generation of powerful and cold miracles!

In fact, the smooth conversation between the trio at the next table is mainly due to Takao.

The last class is over, and it's time for club activities. The first-year freshmen are all ready to apply for membership.

Chisui packed her schoolbag, she just received a message from Erhaitang, she is going to go to the chess club now.

Mother has already agreed to her request, if things go well, Chiho doesn't plan to join the school club.

"Hey~ What club does Xiaoqian plan to apply for?" Takao asked while leaning against her desk.

"I don't have any plans yet, so it's the home club! I'll take a step first, sorry Takao~" Chiho waved her hand to say goodbye to them, "I wish you all the best in joining the club!"

"Hey~ why is this! Xiaoqian, you are too cunning!" Takao returned to his seat resentfully, and began to pack his things.

Midorima will definitely continue to join the basketball club, and without any accidents, he should be the main pick. What surprised Chiho was that Takao also said that he would join the basketball club.

She looked at his height and guessed that he should play point guard, but she didn't know how strong he was.

Chiho always felt that Takao was not that simple, and her intuition told her that maybe he had fought against Midorima before, but Midorima didn't remember it.

From the way he looks at Midorima, the clue can be found??????

Unwillingness and surprise, loneliness and longing, the meanings contained in those long and narrow gray-blue eyes are quite complicated.

Obviously such a cheerful and handsome person.

???Oops, the aftereffects of the club manager are starting to kick in.

So she took advantage of Takao's inattention, patted Midorima's shoulder lightly before leaving, bent down and whispered in his ear: "Just take it as my request, after becoming a teammate, get along well with Takao~"

After finishing speaking, Chiho left the classroom briskly.

Midorima sat there in a daze, watching the last strand of her orange hair disappear by the door.

He still doesn't understand the meaning of her words until the match between Xiude and Seirin a few months later.

"Erhaitang!" As soon as Qiansui walked into the gate of the chess club, she saw the familiar round and cute face that she hadn't seen in two years.

"Yo~ An Yuan, long time no see!" Er Haitang came up to meet him, the two held hands tightly, circling like a pair of children playing house.

As soon as Chiho saw him, she felt a sense of healing that relaxed her whole body, and Erkaitang's chubby hand was also very comfortable to hold.

"By the way, where's Xiao Ling?" She stopped, let go of her hand, and looked behind Er Haitang, but she didn't find that thin figure.

"Oh! Kiriyama is in a match, and there will be his ranking battle today~" Erkaitang led Chiho upstairs, "I'll take you to see Shimada-senpai."

"Well, thank you so much, Erkaitang... for making such an excessive request..." Chiho lowered her eyes, trying to calm down her nervousness.

"It's okay! Rather, it's great that you want to join us~ The president has already agreed, since she is the daughter of Yasuhara Kudan, as long as she wins the championship in the amateur competition, the reward meeting will be able to accept you, come on!"

When Erkaitang just received Chiho's call, he was shocked.

He understands Chiho's experience, so he can understand her ideal.

From an amateur chess player to a professional chess player, this road is very difficult - first, you must win the championship in an amateur game, and then enter the reward meeting through the recommendation of a high-ranking chess player, and win a certain number of games through continuous round-robin games in the reward meeting It is not until one reaches the fourth dan that one officially becomes a professional chess player with financial income.

It is not without precedent for women to become professional chess players, but the number is very small, and their achievements are not outstanding.

But she actually said that she wanted to try, and this needed his help to help her find a master who could teach and introduce her.

Listening to her resolute pleading voice, slowly, the shock in Er Haitang's heart turned into admiration.He immediately decided to help her realize this ideal no matter what.

In terms of candidates for the master, the first thing he thought of was Shimada Kai, the eighth-dan professional, his senior brother.

Chiho entered the lounge and saw a thin man with sunken eyes wearing a suit sitting on the sofa. His eyes widened the moment Chiho entered the door, and he sat up straight at the same time.

"Hi, I'm Yasuhara Chiho." She introduced herself politely, "May I ask if you are... Shimada Hachidan?"

Shimada didn't answer directly, but said something unclear: "It really looks like..."

Erkaitang looked confused, but after hearing these words, Chiho obviously fell into some kind of memory.

She lowered her head and looked at the white school uniform skirt.

Chiho looks very similar to her father, her hair color and eye color are inherited from him.

In my memory, his smile is like a warm sunshine, with the power to embrace everything.

The fragmented memories gradually pieced together, making Chiho's determination more and more firm??????

She stood up and bowed deeply: "Senior Shimada, please accept me as an apprentice!"

Shimada just rolled his eyes and smiled softly. He looked at Erkaitang: "It seems that you have found me a good apprentice."

"An Yuan, please give me more advice in the future."

As for Yasuhara Kudan, although it happened many years ago, Shimada's memory is still very clear.

The two are about the same age, and they often meet in competitions, but they always lose more than they win.

I really want to catch up with his footsteps and study his chess style desperately. No matter how thorough the research is, I always fail under his unpredictable, flickering offensive.

In the end, Yasuhara, a talented chess player at a young age, quickly rose to the ninth dan. Everyone was guessing that he would become a celebrity of the new generation in the near future, but unfortunately, he died of illness suddenly at this time.

Later, Shimada finally got to this point after years of practice, but the opponent he most wanted to challenge was gone.

Shimada was a little hesitant when he received Erkaitang's commission, but changed his mind the moment he saw Chiho.

??????That young girl has exactly the same temperament as her father, and her appearance is always gentle and sunny, but under such a soft appearance, there is a keen, delicate and extremely strong soul hidden.

"It's really like..." Can't help but sigh.

Shimada made up his mind to pass on everything he knew about Yasuhara Yuuki to her without reservation.

It's great that the Yasuhara family's shogi can continue.

"I organized a shogi research club, and I will take you there in a while. It contains my research materials over the years, and also about your father." He said, "You can come every day after school."

Er Haitang showed a gratified smile. He was also in this seminar: "Welcome to join us, Yasuhara."

Chiho straightened up abruptly, with tears in her eyes??????

It was tears of excitement and joy that flowed out unconsciously.

"Yes, thank you Shimada-sensei!" She replied loudly, took the paper from Erkaitang, and smiled happily.

The author has something to say:

Sorry~ I know you have been waiting for a long time, but I was too tired to come back from a day of running outside for the interview yesterday...

Looking at it today, I feel that the comments and favorites have increased a lot. I am happy~ Thank you everyone!
