[Comprehensive main volleyball] long distance pass

The women's bathroom was filled with steam, and in the hazy mist, the girl stood up from the bath, wrapped her graceful figure with a towel, walked slowly to the mirror and sat down, turned on the hair dryer and began to dry her hair.

"Huh——" After swimming in the sea, I came back to have dinner and take a hot bath. I was just comfortable.Chiho sighed lazily, and carefully dried her loose hair, and the ends of her hair that had been drooping due to being wet were curled playfully again, revealing a bright luster.

She put on a dark blue cotton bathrobe again, tied her belt, stood in front of the mirror and tidied her appearance before walking out of the bathroom with the tub in her arms.

Chiho could hear that the outdoors had started to become lively just now, and the voices of the teenagers were chatting endlessly. It didn't take much thinking to know that it was the people from the basketball team who had returned from training.

"Yo~ Good evening Xiaoqian, have you finished taking a shower?"

As soon as she went out, she saw Takao who happened to be passing by and greeted her. He was still wearing the team uniform and was covered in sweat.

Chiho smiled and nodded: "Good evening~ Xiaohe. I went to the beach in the afternoon and got covered in sea water... so I'll wash it now."

Chiho said as she walked towards the stairs, intending to go up to the second floor.

"Wow, I want to go to the beach too—!" Takao complained loudly behind her, I don't know who to tell it to, probably the coach.

"Takao, you are very noisy." At this time, Midorima also came over, also wearing sweaty team uniform, he just wanted to take a bath and change clothes.

"Hey, but Xiaozhen, don't you want to go to the beach too?"

"I don't, only you want to go!"

"Then why do you have a rubber duck as your lucky item today..."

"It's from the morning divination, how do I know!! And isn't the rubber duck used for bathing!"

"Pfft hahahaha—are you a three-year-old child?"

"High-tail-"

——Oh, I started bickering again.

Chiho complained silently in her heart, waved her hands back to the two people who were arguing with joy, and stepped up the stairs.

After returning to the room to pack up her things, Chiho took out her mobile phone again - Ushijima still didn't reply to that email.

She didn't bother to ask if he didn't say anything, anyway, she knew that with Udo's innocence, she must have been greatly shocked.

It was already dark outside the window, but inside the homestay, the nightlife of the energetic teenagers and girls was just about to begin.

Even though they experienced three times the usual amount of terrifying training during the day, Seirin and Hidetoku's team members became lively again after eating, taking a bath, and taking a short rest.

Chiho's room was in the middle of Kiriyama and Erkai Hall, but she could hear the noise coming from both ends even though she was separated from one room.

Chiho picked up two chess books from the table, one was left at home by her father, and the other was given to her by Shimada.The purpose of coming to the camp this time is not only to practice the game with Tongshan and Erhaitang, but she also has a little selfishness.

——I want to use this time to thoroughly study my father's unpredictable chess style.

Shimada once said to her that he felt that although Yasuhara Kudan was strong enough, he obviously never used his full strength in the competition and always had reservations in his offensive methods, but this was not because he hadn't met An opponent who can push him to a desperate situation, but because...

Chiho's eyes moved back and forth between the two chess books. The chess records left by his father at home were basically all kinds of endgames, listing each opponent's possible moves in detail, and then finding out the solution one by one.But the game records in another book showed that my father almost always blocked the opponent early before the situation turned into a difficult endgame, and those methods were not used at all.

She frowned deeply.

——"It is precisely because of this that he is so light. When I play against him, I always fall into the well-designed trap that he has buried long ago. I thought it was just my mistake at first. See clearly, I later found out that Yasuhara Kyudan is like this to everyone. The most terrifying thing is that he has never lost a game since he became a professional chess player, and he once said, 'I never thought I would lose' .”

"Master is really..." Chiho muttered, "Father is so good at chess, he has won consecutively after becoming a professional chess player, but he has not yet become a celebrity, so there will always be times when he thinks that he might be defeated by a celebrity, right? "

"—He pushed himself into a corner in his heart." Shimada said.

What does this mean?Chiho sat cross-legged at the table, concentrating on thinking.

One person can play the two roles of the game, that is, play chess with oneself. This is something that ordinary people can do, but...

This kind of training has limitations, because it is impossible for ordinary people to really divide themselves into two completely different people, and they will eventually reach a balance point where both sides are at a stalemate at a certain step, and the subsequent victory or defeat depends entirely on personal decisions.

Yes, ordinary people can't do it, unless...

I split my mind into two people to play the game. In the constant game, one party will eventually defeat the other without mercy.

Chiho was deep in thought, and took a deep breath.

No, if so...

Not impossible.

Chiho was able to think of this because she heard Momoi say that the reason Akashi later became heterochromatic pupils was that he split into a second personality under the stimulation of the drastic change in the team.

The yellowish light from the roof shone on her face, but at this moment, Chiho could not help but tremble all over, the noise from the teenagers outside the room and the cicadas were automatically blocked by her.

She dropped the chess record, staggered to her bag, took out her mobile phone, and dialed her mother's number.

"Hey, Mom, it's me, and now I want to ask you something..."

Before Yasuhara Yuki became a professional chess player, he had a long history of multiple personality disorders.

"Sorry, Chiho, I didn't tell you before." Mamiko Yasuhara's voice was bitter and exhausted, "However, your father hasn't relapsed since he recovered, and the doctor said that it was cancer that caused his death, and History of multiple personality has nothing to do with..."

"It's okay, Mom, I just wanted to confirm with you, but I didn't expect this conjecture to be true..."

"Chiho, you have to promise mom," Mamiko's voice trembled, "Even if you don't become a professional chess player, don't make yourself like that just to win..."

"You don't know yet. At that time, people said that Yuki's success was a miracle that happened by accident. It was because he overcame the disease that he was invincible in the subsequent games by relying on the experience of the disease. He The chess records left to you are all products of his illness."

"But the shogi world still accepted him, they are really a group of very gentle people... That's why I agree with you to try to become a professional shogi player..." Chiho heard her mother's voice start to choke, " Yuki, he really likes shogi, when he was loneliest, shogi was with him, it was the most important thing in his life..."

Her heart was throbbing, she didn't have the slightest defense, her fiery emotions enveloped her like sea water this evening, Chiho's eyes were filled with tears, she collapsed on the soft tatami mat, her orange hair bloomed like fireworks.

The gentle words blurted out: "Mom, I promise you, I will never become what Dad was before. I'm sorry, I asked something that shouldn't be asked... But, didn't you accept him from the beginning? To Dad Speaking of which, you are the most important person ever..."

Her parents became husband and wife from childhood sweethearts, that is to say, Mamiko never left Yuuki, even when he was suffering from illness.

There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone.

Then there was a very light, yet very melodious laugh, which sounded as sweet as honey.

"Mom—?" Chiho was puzzled and asked tentatively.

"It's okay~ Our Chiho has really grown up, I'm happy~"

"Aren't you sad?"

"How can I~ but you, leave me alone and go to the beach for vacation? Don't ask me to forgive you if you don't catch me a few handsome guys~ Oh, but it's a pity, my favorite is still Mavericks What about the island..."

"Beep——" Mamiko heard a continuous blind tone from the receiver.

Chiho hung up the phone with a cold face, she shouldn't have asked that extra sentence.

Since I can't become multiple personalities, the possibility of reaching my father's level will naturally be wiped out.

——I can only rely on myself to work hard step by step, but that's just fine.

She Yasuhara Chiho wanted to prove that there are no accidental miracles in this world.

But the huge amount of information that was suddenly poured in just now made her a little overwhelmed. Chiho stood up from the tatami, put on her clogs, and planned to go to the window in the corridor to relax.

It was already very late, Kiriyama and Erkaitang had both fallen asleep, but the room of Seirin and Shutoku was still vaguely talking.

"What, Vulcan hasn't returned yet?"

"Where are Midorima and Takao? They haven't been back for so long, didn't they just go to the convenience store?"

Chiho was leaning on the chair by the window, facing the stairs, with a pair of shogi and a cup of cold tea on the table.

She was still in a daze, she turned her head and stared blankly out of the window, her mind was full of things about her father.

Therefore, she didn't notice at all that her bathrobe belt had become loose, and the seductive curve of her chest was looming.

When Midorima "educated" Kagami on the outdoor basketball court and came back with Takao, what he saw was this eye-catching scene.

"Pfft!" Takao reacted quickly with his back against the wall, covered his eyes with one hand, and at the same time pulled Midorima to hide, and covered Midorima's glasses with the other hand.

"What should we do now, Zhen? Just move forward gently and slowly? Or close your eyes and run straight into the room?"

Xiude's room is at the farthest from the stairs, and to go back to the room, one has to pass by where Chiho is, and she will find out no matter what.

"Your nose is bleeding, Takao."

"It's not a nosebleed, it's ketchup."

"I can already smell blood."

"..."

Even though he suffered an extremely strong sensory shock just now, Midorima was still very "calm" arguing with his partner.

Yes, just superficially cool.

The moment Chiho came into sight, Midorima's cheeks turned red. Having never seen such a scene before, he felt that his three views were about to be overturned, and something terrible was about to surge out of his body.

"Xiao Zhen, your body has become so hot."

"It's because I played with Vulcan just now."

"Xiaozhen, Xiaohe? What are you doing here secretly?" Chiho's voice suddenly sounded close in front of them, accompanied by the sweet fragrance of shower gel.

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!!"

"It's making a lot of noise to the two brats—! Quiet me!" The old man in charge of the homestay passed by and yelled at the source of the noise, then his eyes fell on Chiho, "Oh, little girl, you're not dressed properly. .”

"Eh? Ah... Thank you very much! I'll fix it right away."

"It's getting late, even if you're young, you should go to bed early~"

"Hmm, go slowly~"

"..."

"..."

By the window, Chiho and Midorima sat facing each other, deadlocked.

Takao skilfully found an excuse and ran back to the room, leaving the other two outside, but he quietly called other people from the basketball club, opened the door, and a group of people crowded the door to peep outside, pregnant With strong curiosity, I am ready to watch a good show.

"Hey, make room for me, Daping—"

"As a center forward, I will not give in, Miyaji."

"Shhh-Seniors, be quiet! I won't be able to hear Xiao Zhen's words."

Chiho's back was facing Hidetoku's room, so she couldn't notice Takao's little trick, but it didn't escape Midorima's eyes.

He glared viciously in the direction behind Chiho, but it seemed to have little effect. He really wanted to say good night and go back to his room, but the girl in front of him seemed to be in a very bad condition——

His hands were hanging limply on both sides of the chair, a pair of dim purple eyes looked out of the window thoughtfully, the eyelids were half drooped, his orange hair was scratched in a mess, and the belt that had just been tied seemed to be loosening again.

——What hit her to become like this?

And she turned her head and forced a clumsy smile to herself.

Chiho usually shines brightly like the sun in front of him, but tonight she can't see any light from her body, the light source is restrained and covered up, as if those gentle and bright smiles before were all illusions.

Midorima began to wonder who was the real Chiho Yasuhara.

"Hey," Midorima pondered over and over again, regardless of his teammates still peeping over there, and said awkwardly, "Would you like a game? Shogi."

He had promised her before that he could play chess with her when he had time.

"Huh—?" Chiho finally had a reaction, and looked at Midorima with dull eyes, wondering if she heard it wrong just now.

This Tsundere would take the initiative to ask her to play chess? !

When this thought came to her mind, Chiho was so frightened that she almost jumped from her seat.

She was suddenly sober.

"Do you want a game?" Seeing that Chiho seems to have recovered, Midorima asked repeatedly in her heart.

"Okay!" Chiho rolled up her sleeves, grabbed the box boldly, and dumped the chess pieces on the board, "Come on!"

——? ? ? ? ?

Now it was Midorima's turn to start worrying.

I don’t know if it’s not right, I’m startled——

What is she doing?

There is also her movement when playing chess, bending over and putting her fingers on her lips, her eyes are fixed on the chessboard.

——It’s time to see it all! !

Midorima had no choice but to look away intentionally, trying to control his desire, not to look at her chest.

Midorima, who was only at the entry-level level of shogi, said that she couldn't see through Chiho's weird moves at all.

Time passed minute by minute, there was no timer, Chiho was not in a hurry, she always waited slowly for Midorima to think for a long time before making a move, and then quickly made her own move.

"I lost." Midorima finally realized that he had completely fallen into the trap she set, and decisively surrendered.

"You played well, Xiaozhen~ As a beginner, some of your ideas are still very professional." Chiho commented sincerely, she fell back on the back of the chair, and drank the herbal tea in the cup for the last time.

"No, you are very powerful, Yasuhara." Midorima looked directly at her, and secretly heaved a sigh of relief, finally he didn't have to force himself to look away.

"Hahaha~ You have won the prize. Compared with a real professional chess player, I am far from enough." Chiho rolled her eyes and smiled helplessly at him, "I'm going back to my room, good night, Xiao Zhen~"

"..."

Chiho had already stood up, but sat back in the other party's silence.

"What's the matter with you? You suddenly want to play against me, and you look weird?" She folded her arms, curiously stretched her neck and asked close to his face.

Taking a closer look, his eyes are really beautiful, with thick and long eyelashes that make people jealous... Chiho's thoughts drifted away.

——Here we go again, the scent of shower gel.

Midorima pushed his glasses in embarrassment, his emerald green eyes dodged left and right: "I still want to ask you."

"Ah, have you been spotted?"

——The depression is so obvious that one person can discover it!By the way, you were still pretending just now?

Midorima complained frantically in her heart.

"I'm fine, don't worry, Makoto." Chiho just replied calmly. She stood up, tightened the belt of her yukata, and smiled at Midorima again, "Thank you for being with me today."

Midorima's eyes froze the moment they met her.

——Chiho's smile returned to the gentle and warm look before, clean and pure.

"Good night," she said.

Seeing Chiho close the door, Midorima was still sitting stiffly on the chair, not even having time to say "good night".

Takao immediately rushed out of the room and ran to Midorima: "How is it? Is Xiaoqian alright?"

——Takao also saw that something was wrong with Chiho, but he righteously decided to give this opportunity to his good partner.

After all, he doesn't know how to play shogi.

"It's okay." Midorima had completely forgotten that Takao had brought the seniors to spy on him just now, his expression turned calm, and he walked back to the room with heavy steps.

"Pfft, she's fine, I see what's the matter with you~" Takao's tone rose cheerfully, and he teased after Midorima.

"..." Unexpectedly, Midorima, who usually loves to bicker with him, did not refute at this time.

Takao opened his mouth wide in surprise - no way?Xiao Zhen is in love?

Chiho returned to the room, turned off the light, and lay down on the thin quilt.

The match with Midori just now had completely calmed her down.

Let the matter of her father be buried in her heart, she doesn't want to mention it to anyone again.

I accidentally showed that expression in front of Xiaozhen.

——Obviously I have promised Ruoli.

Never again, though.

Please continue to bless me, Dad.
