[Comprehensive main volleyball] long distance pass

"The game is over, Xiao Zhen."

"Ah."

"..."

"Going back? Or—?"

"I want to go down and see, go to the stadium."

"...Okay, I'll wait for you here."

Chiho walked down the stairs and walked towards the venue for the match between Shiratorizawa and Owl Valley.

After the team left, the audience had almost left, but Chiho still sat on the chair until now.

At the last moment, she stood up and yelled desperately to cheer, which was clearly heard by the players on the field.

At the end of the game, Chiho just sat calmly, completely different from her performance just now. Her eyes fell on Ushijima, who also looked calm - he didn't look at Shiratorizawa's support booth anymore. Even if he glanced at it, he didn't even look back when he walked out the door.

Only the staff members were doing the final cleanup. The volleyballs were collected one by one and put into baskets. The floor was mopped back and forth, and the scoreboard was pushed into the warehouse.

Chiho walked into the center of the venue and looked around at this place full of memories. She still remembered the excitement of coming here for the first time two years ago, and the unparalleled joy after seeing her team win time after time.

Even though she has drifted away from the sport of volleyball, the volleyball court in front of her now slowly awakens the blood flowing in Chiho's body, who once worked hard to be a good manager or coach for them.

And that time and time again, the action of tossing the ball for Udo.

——I don’t know if I’m rusty.

——Joli is getting along very well with his teammates now, and their setters look very reliable.

As Chiho thought, Ushijima has indeed become stronger among them.

He no longer needed her toss.

"Hey~ girls over there, the volleyball hall is about to close." The staff over there came out of the warehouse and reminded Chiho loudly.

"Okay, I'll go out right now~ I'm sorry to trouble you." Chiho responded politely, raising her head and beckoning to Midorima in the stands, signaling for the two to meet outside the pavilion.

Midorima stood by the railing, nodded silently.

But at this moment, an accident happened.

Niu Dao ran all the way from the locker room to the door of the volleyball hall, and saw a gym employee in uniform coming out, he hurriedly pressed the other's shoulder and asked, "Excuse me, have you ever seen a girl with orange hair? "

Frightened by Ushido's extremely oppressive height and aura, he dared not move. The employee sweated profusely and pointed to the inside of the volleyball hall, nodding repeatedly.

Ushido's pupils shrank, he let go of the staff and rushed towards the door, saying "thank you".

Just as the employee held his chest and breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw a large group of people running towards him in front of him, all of them were very anxious. He remembered that they were all members of Shiratorizawa.

"What's the situation?!" Could it be that they forgot something important in the library?

But he checked carefully just now, and nothing was left behind.

The staff curiously followed behind the group of teenagers, and looked into the door tremblingly——

I saw that the Shiratorizawa team member who asked him the question just now was holding the mysterious orange-haired girl tightly in his arms.

"Huh-huh-the brats run pretty fast...it wasn't like this during training..."

"Hey~ Have you caught up? Coach?"

Beside him, a panting white-haired old man and a young man with glasses appeared again.

There is also a sentence that reverberates over the volleyball court, which he will never forget even after many years——

"Let's be together, Chiho."

"Joli?!"

After greeting Midorima, Chiho was about to turn around and go out, but the movements of her feet stopped when she saw someone running towards her suddenly.

Niu Dao was still dripping with sweat, but he still pulled the girl in front of him into his arms without hesitation, this person he had been thinking about for a long time since they parted.

The bright orange hair is curled, which suits her very well.

The face is more beautiful and mature.

It also feels tougher.

——The strong desire for exclusiveness gushed out uncontrollably, Ushimaru wrapped his arms around her waist, and pressed a light kiss on her soft lips.

Chiho didn't have time to react, her eyes widened in surprise, and after a while she raised her head to look at Ushijima, feeling her heart beating wildly faster.

He was looking down at himself tenderly, although the look in his eyes was no different from the previous few hugs——

But she knew that this time she could no longer hide.

She has been carefully hiding and trying to forget her love for him.

"Let's be together, Chiho." The calm confession came out of his mouth, but to her it sounded like the warmest spring breeze in the world, gently brushing against her ears, making her eardrums itchy.

It's not the "I like you" that I confessed to her before, but a more direct straight ball, hitting her heart.

——I rejected you back then, huh?jolly.

God, I can't let him go.

"Okay." Quietly said a word, Chiho hugged him back, "I've always liked you too, Ruoli."

Ushido rolled his eyes, feeling supreme happiness.

"But, why... why you..." Immediately afterwards, Chiho grabbed the sweaty jersey on his back, her shoulders were shaking, and asked intermittently, "Again..."

"Because you promised me that you would not leave me."

"Eh……?"

"During the summer festival, you promised." Ushishima said firmly.

Chiho was stunned for a moment when she heard this answer, she got out of Ushijima's embrace, and carefully recalled the situation at that time.

--Could it be that……?

She seemed to understand something.

I couldn't hear it clearly at the time, so it was this?

"Pfft." Chiho was still blushing, and couldn't help laughing out loud, "What~ I agreed to you in a daze~"

"Huh?" Ushishima didn't understand what she meant.

"It's nothing." Chiho smiled reassuringly, and tiptoed into Ushido's ear and said, "However, I won't let you go again."

— Get ready.

"Well, I won't either." Niu Dao took her hand.

"Ruo Li-jun~! Woooooo..." Tendo shed tears of emotion on the sidelines, crying like a sloth hanging on Semi's body.

Seten pushed Tendo indifferently, Daping persuaded him kindly, and Yamagata silently handed Tendo a tissue.

Kujo embraced Saito and Chiba beside him with both arms, and the three gathered together to digest the dog food, Ozaki was still smiling.

"Is she Yasuhara Chiho?" Shuji Blacksmith put his hands behind his back, with a kind smile on his face, completely different from his usual image of a devil, "I heard about her from Masaki, and I admire her very much."

"Oh~ so that's the case." The instructor nodded. No wonder the usually strict coach didn't stop him just now, but rushed to watch with great interest.

"Oh, Xiaozhen!" Chiho suddenly yelled, and turned to look at the stands, but he couldn't see the emerald green figure.

"Xiaozhen?" Ushishima repeated the address, and he frowned, "Who is that?"

"It's Midorima~ the one who taught you how to shoot! He happens to be my classmate now, and he accompanied me to watch the game today!" Chiho anxiously wanted to run out to find him, but Ushijima held her hand tightly.

"He's over there." Udo pointed to the other side of the field.

Midorima grabbed a ball from the basket full of volleyballs, and threw the ball over Chiho's head with a standard shooting posture.

The volleyball crossed an exaggeratedly high parabola and landed impartially in Udo's outstretched hand.

Seeing this scene, Midorima smiled wryly, nodded to Ushijima and Chiho, and left the volleyball hall through the door on that side.

——When I first met you, you passed the basketball back with the action of playing volleyball.

And now, it's time for me to send a gift in return.

Midorima was in an extremely relaxed mood at the moment, and his love for her only lasted for a short week, but it made his brain more confused than ever.

However, he no longer needed to think about those things.

Walking out of the gymnasium, Midorima grabbed the dried handkerchief in his pocket, and the morning divination said it was his lucky item for today.

"Yo~ Xiaozhen."

Stopping, Midorima looked in surprise at Takao ahead, who was sitting on the driver's seat of the scooter and greeted him.

"How could you..."

"Of course I'm here to comfort you~ I've been following you secretly all day, but I'm exhausted~" Takao raised his sunglasses hanging from his neckline, his gray-blue eyes narrowed, "Come on, sit up, there's no need for boxing games today ,I'll walk you home."

"I don't need your consolation!" Lvjian said, and got into the cart with a cold face, "Let's go."

"Hahahahaha~ lovelorn Xiaozhen~true~ke~love~" Takao briskly hummed the out-of-key lyrics, kicked up the pedals with both legs, and drove his partner forward.

Midorima returned home, took the handkerchief out of his pocket, stared at it for a moment, then threw it into the laundry basket.

Inside the court, Chiho looked at the direction Midorima left in confusion, and at the volleyball in Ushishima's hand.

"Xiao Zhen, what does this mean?"

"I don't know. When did you start calling him that?"

"Not long ago~ What happened?"

"You've never called me so affectionately..."

"Then what do you want to call you? Xiao Ruo? Xiao Li? Xiao Ruoli~? Puhaha, how stupid..."

Seeing that the newly-promoted couple was about to quarrel after confirming their relationship, Kujo shook off Saito and Chiba, and said to the two people in the field: "I really want to watch that again—! It's because you two just joined the club At that time, show me the offensive coordination! Hey, that little green brother just sent you the ball, so just show me the ball, okay~"

"Okay, Senior Kujo." Ushishima's jealousy was interrupted by the sudden change of topic, and he handed the volleyball to Kujo.

"Ozaki, come and catch the ball!" Just like back then, Kujo desperately winked at Ozaki.

Jiu Jiang didn't know what Kujo was going to do, he was so shocked by Midorima's ball just now that he couldn't speak.

——The ball was obviously aimed at this side, and it was from such a long distance, how could it be so accurate? !

The most important thing is that Midorima's throwing posture is in basketball.

This caused his face to turn blue and white, and he didn't respond to Kutiao's chaos in the volleyball hall in time.

"That...the coach of Shiratorizawa." A weak voice sounded behind the old man, it was the employee just now, "The closing time has come."

The eagle craftsman was shocked when he heard the words, and recovered immediately, angrily yelled at the gang of teenagers who gave him a headache: "Get out of here! Don't affect their work! Do you want to compete in the semi-finals!!"

As a result, Shiratorozawa High School narrowly lost in the second day's semi-finals and stopped in the national semi-finals.

But this loss has nothing to do with the previous day's incident. The players are still in good condition, but the opponent's overall strength is stronger than them.

In the locker room, Jiu Jiang finished the post-match review and did not criticize the players too much. Since Shiratorizawa has the strength to enter the top four in the country, there is still hope for winning the championship.

Of course, punishment after losing is still essential, but this time the punishment is a bit special for them——

"We won't be going back to Miyagi right away," Washakusho said. "I've already made an appointment with the coaches of Otokoma and Okinawa High School in Tokyo and Ikukawa High School in Kanagawa. The place is at Otokoma High School."

"This is the last chance to sleep together before Spring High School, you should take good advantage of it."

——It turned out not to be the usual severe punishment, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

However, when they really started to sleep together, they found that they were too naive.

Chiho watched the game alone this time, Midorima and Takao both had to train, and she was still sitting in the last row of the support booth.

Even if Ushido lost the game, he didn't seem to be depressed at all.

She sent him an email, saying that she still had game practice in the chess club, so she left the gymnasium first.

——No words of consolation, because she knows very well that Ushido doesn't need it, and being a loser will give him more motivation to move forward, so that he will become stronger in the next game.

The distance from Miyagi to Tokyo is very far and very close, and she and him continued to get along with each other after they became boyfriend and girlfriend.

——After the IH competition is over, I won’t see Ruoli for several months.

Chiho walked out of the gymnasium and looked at the cloudless sky. The clean azure blue against a scorching sun made her feel a little uneasy.

but--

Chiho took out her mobile phone and received a reply from Ushijima.

"From Little Ruoli:

We will stay in Tokyo for a week, and we have a sleepover at Otokoma High School. "

She raised her lips and replied, "Come on! I will visit you when I have time~".

——No matter how far apart, I will find you again and say "I love you" to you.

Over and over again.

The author has something to say:

Finally... Hahahahaha!Can justifiably sprinkle sugar~

So what did Wood Rabbit say after the game against Udo in the last chapter?And Ah Hei is ready to go online~
