That night, downstairs in the dormitory.
After a day of free help in the volleyball club, Chiho was still wearing the loose and casual sportswear she was wearing during the day, blending in with the students of Shiratorizawa without any disobedience.
"Because the sportswear is very comfortable to wear~ I usually go to the chess club to sit upright, so I'm tired, okay?" At the end of today's training, she explained this to Ayane.
"But I still think...Senior's outfit in the shogi match looks better." Ayane watched the live broadcast on TV, and Chiho would wear very beautiful makeup in it, and her clothes are also popular among female white-collar workers. "I actually quite like it."
"Ah, that was dressed up for the media~" Chiho sat on the stool and looked at the game record, "After all, he is someone who will receive the most attention, and his external image is also a very important part~ Originally, the official game of shogi There are many rules and regulations for Chinese chess players. What is the idiom called...'Do as the Romans do in the country'? Well~ In short, that is what it means."
Ayane nodded in agreement, convinced by her statement: "Sorry, I was talking too much."
"It's all right~ Coach Saito is calling you, huh?" She closed the game record and stood up, "The training is almost over, and I'm here to help."
"An Yuan, come here." At this time, Coach Jiujiang called her over with a calm expression on the other side.
She followed the old voice, and found that Ushido was standing opposite Eagle Craftsman, bowing her head obediently.
——Because of being scolded about Hinata and Kageyama, she thought firmly.
"Here we come!" She yelled and ran all the way over, standing still beside Niu Dao, solemnly, "Please order from the coach!"
"You know what to do, right? I've already taught him." Eagle Carpenter glanced at Ushido, "I'll leave the rest to you."
"Yes!" Chiho was already suppressing a smile, and watched Shuji leave the gymnasium.
And now-
After taking a shower, Ushido changed into a short-sleeved T-shirt and trousers and walked towards her from the door of the dormitory with an ugly expression on her face.
"Hey, isn't it..." The corners of Chiho's mouth twitched, she was just following the instructions of the eagle artisan, urging him to stay after training and punish him, how could he transfer his anger towards Karasuno and those two to himself Feeling the illusion, he called out cautiously: "Ruoli?"
"Huh?" To her relief, he immediately withdrew that expression, and his tall body stood in front of her, "Let's go."
He naturally took her hand and led her towards the big playground on campus.
During the days when Chiho came to visit him in Miyagi, the two would often meet at night, go for a walk around the big playground in Shiratorizawa and chat together.
"Are you going back tomorrow?" Under the star-studded night sky, the warmth from his generous and powerful palm made her hold it tightly.
"Yeah, you still have to take the final exam~" Chiho walked beside him, and replied relaxedly, "After all, I'm still a student of Hidetoku, so I just need to pass this time."
"We're about to take the exam too." Knowing that she was leaving, Ushido's tone was a bit sad, "The next time we meet will be IH, right?"
"Hahaha~ It's almost this season again." Chiho mischievously took his hand and shook it back and forth, "See you at IH~ Speaking of which, Yinju's coach Maoyou asked me to teach him after the exam. They sponsored a two-day multi-university dormitory to help out, and I happened to be free in those two days... Although they didn't make it into IH this time..."
"You promised him? The coach of Yinju?" It was the first time Ushishima knew about this, and he wondered how she suddenly became familiar with coach Yinku.
"Of course~ Grandpa Wu Yang asked me to help him in Tokyo. He said that Karasuno's instructor pestered him so that Karasuno could also participate in this camp...Compared to phone calls, face-to-face meeting It feels more sincere, and he couldn’t go by himself, so he had to entrust me to go for him.” After Chiho went to Yinkuma, not only saw Kuroyu and Momo, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, but also had a good chat with Coach Nekomata Come, the old man invited her kindly after learning about her resume at the wine table. With experience in the shogi world, she is already very good at successfully communicating with the elderly.
"You..." Although Ushishima knew that she had a good relationship with Coach Karasuno, his eyes widened in surprise after hearing these words, "So you already knew? No wonder you..."
He would be so enthusiastic about the two first graders in Karasuno.
"Hmm... this is a small part of the reason, right? I'm just helping out. The big contributor to this sleepover is Coach Nekomata." Chiho stopped her waving hands, thinking carefully, "But I'm It was the first time I really saw Karasuno's team members today, and the main reason is as expected—"
Her words came to a sudden stop here.
"What is it?" Niu Dao was wondering why she didn't continue talking, since she was still eloquent just now.
"Well, I don't want you to know~" Chiho turned her head and gave him a mysterious smile, "This is a secret between me and them~"
Niu Dao also looked down at her and stopped.
"Don't be unhappy~ I'm also doing it for your own good." She said, standing on tiptoe and wrapping her arms around his neck affectionately, with stars shining in her eyes, "Ruoli just keep doing this, just wait and see gone."
The suddenly approaching woody scent made Niu Dao stunned, he knew that she was deliberately hiding something from him again.
Only this time, she spoke so frankly that he had the feeling that even if he didn't know the truth, he would choose to believe her without hesitation.
The two just stared at each other quietly, until the two faces got closer and closer, and gradually they could hear each other's rapid breathing.
"Okay, I'll wait." He finally replied softly, closing his eyes and grabbing her seductive and fragrant lips.
On the morning of the first day of the camp, Chiho was wearing a short-sleeved white T-shirt and black trousers, with a little black wild cat on her head that she only met at the door, and walked into the Yinju Gymnasium, saying hello to the Yinju players who were already warming up there : "Good morning~"
"Good morning Yasuhara-senpai!" Yinkua's second-year player, who looked like a bad team member with mohawk hair, was the first to rush up to her, and replied enthusiastically.
"Uh... hello." She smiled awkwardly. This junior seemed to get a little excited when she saw a woman, which was the type she was not good at dealing with.
"Oh~ good morning, Yasuhara." Heiwei smiled at her from a distance, and waved at her with a hand that was grinding beside him.
"Ah Hei..." Grinding hunchbacked, he said helplessly, "Don't use my hand to say hello to her..."
The other team members also greeted her politely. Since Chiho came here last time, they had already remembered the acquaintance of the captain and coach, but what impressed them most was her beautiful appearance and her ability to always attract cats. unique physique.
This time too, it was no surprise to find a little black cat lying obediently on top of her head.
"What a cute cat!" Huiyu Lev, a freshman who just entered the club, exclaimed. He has a height of more than 190 meters, short silver-white hair, and lively emerald green cat eyes. He is a mixed race of Russian and Japanese. Growing up in Japan, I can only speak fluent Japanese, "Where did it come from?"
Chiho had already crossed Yamamoto and walked up to Coach Nekomata who was sitting on the sidelines, then turned around and answered him: "I don't know, I just met it nearby~"
"Hahaha~ It looks quite similar to Black Tail!" Yejiu Weifu, a free person in the third grade, pointed at the top of her head and joked, "Especially the messy hair on its head!"
Hearing this, Chiho stretched out her hand and gently stroked the cat's back, making it "meow~" comfortably: "It really looks a bit like..."
"Where does it look like!" Heiwei wanted to go up to fight Yejiu violently. This person always confronted him, but Grinding held him tightly from behind.
"Okay, okay~ You guys go to warm up." Chiho urged, and bowed to Coach Maomata again: "Hello."
"En." Mao nodded to her with a smile again, he was still glued to the chair and refused to get up, looking lazy, completely different from the shrewd and capable painting style of Grandpa Wuyang, "Today you will take the name of Yinju's interim manager." I'm here as a helper~ I'll treat you to dinner tonight, you can also drink."
"Hahaha~ I'm so happy, but I'm not allowed to drink, I'm still underage?" Chiho smiled at him, then straightened up and looked at the entrance of the gymnasium, "Aren't the other schools here yet?"
"Three schools have already arrived, and they are still preparing in the dormitory." Yinju's assistant coach, Naoi Gaku, said that he is a young man with a crew cut, a resolute face, and a strong body. "Oh, Cao Cao Cao Cao is here."
Chiho also saw it, and the first to open the door was Owl Valley High School, which she had seen before, followed by Ikukawa from Kanagawa and Senran High School from Saitama.
Although she wondered in her heart why Karasuno hadn't arrived yet, she immediately followed Maoyou who stood up to meet him, planning to get acquainted with the managers of the three schools first.
Due to her rich experience, clear mind and excellent memory, Chiho can also get started quickly as a temporary manager of a school she is not familiar with, and gets along very well with the girls who are managers of other schools.
Of course, the cat above her head brought her a lot of convenience in communicating with people, and no one would reject this soft and cute little animal.
The form of the camp this time is that each school takes turns to play a round-robin practice match. Every time they lose a game, they will be fined to swim around the field for a week.
The teams that had already arrived had already begun to warm up on the field, and it was only then that Karasuno arrived late.
After hearing the news, Kurobi and Yamamoto ran out to meet the team members and took them to the dormitory to get ready, while Chiho and Mao went to meet Karasuno's coach and instructor.
"Long time no see, the cat is coaching again." Wu Yang Xixin stood in the porch and bowed respectfully to the old man.
"Oh~ here we come." The cat waved to him friendly again.
"Thank you for allowing us to participate in this joint practice." Standing next to Wuyang was the instructor of the Karasuno volleyball club, Takeda Kazutsu. He also bowed and thanked Maomata with very standard honorifics.
Standing behind Maoyou, Chiho looked at the two people in front of her curiously. She only heard that Karasuno's current coach was the grandson of Grandpa Wuyang, but this was the first time she saw her.
——I didn't expect to be so young, and my temperament seems a bit rebellious?Takeda-sensei is easy to get along with.
"It's all right~ let's see your level—" the cat just squinted its eyes and agreed, then opened its eyes and grinned proudly: "Since then, how much have you grown?"
"Hmm..." These words seemed to hit Wuyang and Wutian's sore spot, both of them were sweating profusely with the corners of their mouths bent down.
"What do you mean, coach Maoyou?" Chiho didn't know that Karasuno had lost the practice match with Yinju, so she poked her head and asked, "Have you ever played against Karasuno before?"
"Meow?" The cat on her head also snorted.
"Hahaha~ That's right," Mao said with a smug expression, "During Golden Week, we had an appointment with them for a training match, and we won." Japan's Golden Week is from the end of April to the beginning of May, that is to say, the training session Sai was more than two months ago.
"So that's how it is." Chiho could understand, and probably had a complete estimate of Karasuno's current strength in her heart.
"Well, may I ask who this is—?" Wu Yang stared at her, frowning and asked, "I don't think I saw you in Yinju last time?"
——In my impression, there should be no female members in the Otokoma volleyball club?And what happened to that cat? !
Takeda also stared at her with wide eyes behind his double glasses.
"She is the interim manager of Otokoma that I invited for this camp, Chiho Yasuhara. She is not a student of Otokoma, but she used to be the manager of Shiratorizawa Middle School~" the cat said again, and added, " Coach Wuyang, she was recommended to me by your grandfather~"
"Teacher Maoyou!" Chiho felt that the last sentence was completely unnecessary, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he followed his will and bowed to Wuyang and Takeda: "Hello, please give me more advice during this time! "
"My grandfather?!" Wu Yang, who had never seen Qiansui at his grandfather's house, heard about it for the first time, and was very shocked. "So it's someone he knows... Hello."
"Hello." Wu Tian felt that since she was recognized by Coach Wuyang, she must be very capable, so he couldn't help admiring her.
"Don't be so cautious~ She's a very interesting kid, she's a little different from ordinary high school students." Mao reassured again, deliberately concealing Chiho's professional chess player status from them, "Come in, the camp is about to officially begin. .”
After Chiho returned to the gymnasium, Karasuno's team members also arrived after a while.
She stood on the side of Yinju's field and watched the team she had been waiting for for a long time, but she couldn't find the two familiar figures among them.
Grinding seemed to have the same question as her: "Huh? Where's Xiangyang?"
Yamamoto, who just went out to meet Karasuno to understand the situation, replied with a distressed face: "It seems to be tutoring..."
"Tutoring?!" Chiho almost slipped.
—So those two boys are still scumbags?I failed the final exam, do you still want to come to Tokyo?
It seemed that the hope of seeing them today was basically in vain, so Chiho could only silently step aside, put on her glasses, picked up the recording board, and started the work that the manager should do.
"Oh, that's—?!" Two members of Karasuno noticed her in the various crowds in the hall at a glance, and they asked Heiwei in unison: "When did Yinju get a beautiful manager? "
"Oh, is she?" Kurobi grinned, revealing a row of neat and white teeth, "It's the temporary manager that our coach invited to help~ Although it's not Yinju's."
"Kawaii—!" Ryunosuke Tanaka and Yuu Nishiya roared in unison, but quickly regained composure, "No, we will not betray Miss Jieko!"
"Pfft..." Hotaru Tsukishima covered her mouth and sneered, feeling ashamed for her two idiot seniors.
"But she is indeed very beautiful~ Yueyue?" Tsukishima's friend Yamaguchi Tadashi whispered, "Although she looks more mature than Shimizu-senpai...but there seems to be a feeling of being closer?"
"Don't be rude to the managers of other schools!" The second grader of the third grade, Takashi Sugawara, gave Tanaka and Nishitani a headache. As a careful senior, he really broke his heart for the idiots in the department.
"So nervous..." Dong Fengxu, Wuye's ace attacker, was easily nervous in such a crowded environment, and his trembling and frightened appearance formed a strong contrast with his tall stature and mature appearance.
"Let's go." Captain Daichi Sawamura said calmly, "Let's go to warm up."
Chiho was only concentrating on drawing the form on the recording board, and didn't hear the little restlessness that came from Karasuno because of her.
"Senior Yasuhara is really serious about his work..." Hui Yu walked in front of her, bent down to pick up the ball that fell on the ground, when he stood up, Chiho saw a layer of white paper falling on the white paper in front of her. Shadow, "Didn't you hear what Wu Ye said to you just now?"
"Ah?" Chiho was startled, raised her head and looked up at the other person, her crystal purple eyes reflected his face, because he was really too tall, "What are you talking about?"
"Praise you are cute..." Hui Yu wanted to continue, but Ye Jiu yelled at him: "Lev - come back and warm up!"
"Here we come!" Hui Yu immediately ran away from her when she heard it.
"Alas~" Chiho was confused by this freshman who had a unique personality from appearance to personality, sighed, and then concentrated on the work at hand.
After the practice matches started in various venues, Chiho glanced back and forth among them, quickly capturing useful information.
All the staff have specially trained the serve, and Sheng Chuan, who uses the serve as his main weapon.
The coordination is perfect | the clothes are seamless, and Sen Ran can play the "simultaneous multi-point attack" that confuses the opponent.
Owl Valley, who has Wood Rabbit as the main attacker of the top five levels in the country.
All members are good at catching the ball and defending, and then looking for opportunities to counterattack.
In this group of strong volleyball schools in the East, Karasuno, who is not bad in strength but not distinctive enough, seems a bit mediocre.
——And, as expected, Karasuno lost the most among these schools, and none of them won.
Thinking about it with some disappointment, she was still looking forward to how much change Hinata and Kageyama would bring to the team she saw now if they joined.
After a day's practice match, Karasuno had dived around the field for a few weeks, and the time was almost sunset.
Just when Chiho was preparing to calmly welcome the arrival of the night training——
The gate of the gymnasium was suddenly opened, and under the light of the setting sun outside, there was a hot, stylishly dressed woman with short hair and sweat on her face. She said excitedly: "Oh~ are you still playing? That's great~ Finally caught up!"
Her loud voice attracted everyone's attention, and Chiho also looked at her curiously.
"Sister!" Xi Gu shouted at her reverently.
"Eh? Is this Xigu's sister?" Dongfeng was a little surprised.
"No, it's Long's sister!" Xi Gu replied.
"It's really similar..." Sugawara commented, the sister's face was almost the same as Tanaka's.
"It's great that you're all right..." Tanaka panted, his eyes became sharp, as if seeing a savior.
Chiho looked behind that older sister, and she smiled happily——
It was the two people she had been waiting here for a whole day, and they were also out of breath, and they seemed to come here non-stop from Miyagi.
"Hey~ Is the main character finally on the stage?" Heiwei stood in the field and said sarcastically, "It really makes me angry~"
Under the backdrop of an imminent sunset, Hyuga and Kageyama stood at the open gate, one on the left and the other on the right, and Chiho felt as if two little crows were flying past in front of her eyes.
"It's really hard to wait~" She rubbed the sore corners of her eyes, "Let me see what you guys are capable of."
"Eh?!" Hinata Kageyama also spotted her when she walked in, "Why is senior sister here?"
"Huh?" Kurobi was very surprised, she didn't expect Chiho to know people from Karasuno, so she explained to them again.
"Yo~ How are you guys?" Chiho smiled and waved at them, "Please give me more advice these days."
"No... Isn't Yasuhara-senpai from Shiratorizawa?!" Hinata asked.
"No, I'm just going..." When Chiho said this, her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she buried her head in front of the recording board, embarrassed to continue.
"Meow~" the kitten lying on top of her head let out a soft cry.
"Because she's Ushijima Ruori's girlfriend." Kurobi helped her out with a smirk.
As soon as these words came out, all the people in the audience stopped their movements instantly, only the sound of the volleyball falling to the ground.
"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The turmoil caused by Chiho's identity was quickly settled under the appearance of coach Nekomata, and the practice match continued normally.
What caught Senran, Karasuno's next opponent by surprise, was that after Hinata and Kageyama joined, their "weird fast attack" was so fast that they couldn't keep up with the block, and they lost the game.
Chiho looked distractedly at the field where Karasuno was, she was also shocked by their performance in the practice match just now.
——Extremely fast and large-scale pull and run attack?Indeed a very strong weapon to get out of the block, and almost unique in their fit.
--but……
She shook her head. Karasuno is still not strong enough if he only has this, not to mention the room for improvement of other players. Stopped after acclimatization.
"You still say you want to defeat Shiratorizawa... Am I expecting too much from them?" Chiho took a sip of iced orange juice and said regretfully, "If they can learn a lot of useful things in this sleepover That's fine...otherwise, it would be difficult to enter the finals of the Miyagi qualifiers."
It's dinnertime after training, and the cat has fulfilled his morning promise again.
"Hahaha~ You are really kind." The cat raised a large glass of beer to clink with her again, "Why do you care so much about those two children? Logically speaking, you should be on the side of Shiratorizawa, right? ? Well, although I was shocked when I first found out about it today~"
"Woo... Please don't tease me..." Chiho put her hands on her forehead and looked at the table in despair, and said bitterly, "It's all Black Tail-kun's fault!"
"Hahahahaha~" Tanaka's sister Saeko grabbed her shoulders, "Don't be so shy, tell me how you and Niuruo met?"
"That's right!" Wu Yang's face turned red from drinking, "Didn't I hear that he is a very cold person? I really didn't expect to have such a lovely girlfriend..."
——No wonder Coach Maoyou told him like that this morning, he believed it now.
"It's not a very special story... He and I were childhood sweethearts, that's all." Chiho spread her hands and replied flatly.
"Then I want to listen too!" Sister Xizi was still gossiping, she didn't let go of her hand on her shoulder, "Just tell me the story of you and him when you were young?"
"Oh, okay..." Chiho took a sip of orange juice, and told them this plain yet dramatic story from the beginning.
However, as she talked, she found that everyone at the wine table had gradually become unconscious.
She stroked the sleeping kitten in her arms, with an extremely happy smile on her face.
——The narration just now made her recall the bits and pieces of the past with him. It turns out that the two of them already have so many memories in common.
There was a sweet impulse in my chest, even if the two places were temporarily separated, the story between her and him would continue.
The orange juice in the glass has been drunk, but Chiho's throat is still very thirsty.
But she didn't care too much, instead she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Niu Dao.
To Xiao Ruoli: I had a great time together~ Everyone is working hard to become stronger, you should work hard!Plus - I love you!
"Heh." Niu Dao looked at the phone and chuckled lightly, his tone so indulgent that he didn't even realize how beautiful it was.
"I love you too."
The author has something to say:
I really like the daily life outside of small volleyball games~ everyone is very cute!
After a day of free help in the volleyball club, Chiho was still wearing the loose and casual sportswear she was wearing during the day, blending in with the students of Shiratorizawa without any disobedience.
"Because the sportswear is very comfortable to wear~ I usually go to the chess club to sit upright, so I'm tired, okay?" At the end of today's training, she explained this to Ayane.
"But I still think...Senior's outfit in the shogi match looks better." Ayane watched the live broadcast on TV, and Chiho would wear very beautiful makeup in it, and her clothes are also popular among female white-collar workers. "I actually quite like it."

What is the idiom called...'Do as the Romans do in the country'? Well~ In short, that is what it means."
Ayane nodded in agreement, convinced by her statement: "Sorry, I was talking too much."
"It's all right~ Coach Saito is calling you, huh?" She closed the game record and stood up, "The training is almost over, and I'm here to help."
"An Yuan, come here." At this time, Coach Jiujiang called her over with a calm expression on the other side.
She followed the old voice, and found that Ushido was standing opposite Eagle Craftsman, bowing her head obediently.
——Because of being scolded about Hinata and Kageyama, she thought firmly.
"Here we come!" She yelled and ran all the way over, standing still beside Niu Dao, solemnly, "Please order from the coach!"
"You know what to do, right? I've already taught him." Eagle Carpenter glanced at Ushido, "I'll leave the rest to you."
"Yes!" Chiho was already suppressing a smile, and watched Shuji leave the gymnasium.
And now-
After taking a shower, Ushido changed into a short-sleeved T-shirt and trousers and walked towards her from the door of the dormitory with an ugly expression on her face.
"Hey, isn't it..." The corners of Chiho's mouth twitched, she was just following the instructions of the eagle artisan, urging him to stay after training and punish him, how could he transfer his anger towards Karasuno and those two to himself Feeling the illusion, he called out cautiously: "Ruoli?"
"Huh?" To her relief, he immediately withdrew that expression, and his tall body stood in front of her, "Let's go."
He naturally took her hand and led her towards the big playground on campus.
During the days when Chiho came to visit him in Miyagi, the two would often meet at night, go for a walk around the big playground in Shiratorizawa and chat together.
"Are you going back tomorrow?" Under the star-studded night sky, the warmth from his generous and powerful palm made her hold it tightly.
"Yeah, you still have to take the final exam~" Chiho walked beside him, and replied relaxedly, "After all, I'm still a student of Hidetoku, so I just need to pass this time."
"We're about to take the exam too." Knowing that she was leaving, Ushido's tone was a bit sad, "The next time we meet will be IH, right?"
"Hahaha~ It's almost this season again." Chiho mischievously took his hand and shook it back and forth, "See you at IH~ Speaking of which, Yinju's coach Maoyou asked me to teach him after the exam. They sponsored a two-day multi-university dormitory to help out, and I happened to be free in those two days... Although they didn't make it into IH this time..."
"You promised him? The coach of Yinju?" It was the first time Ushishima knew about this, and he wondered how she suddenly became familiar with coach Yinku.
"Of course~ Grandpa Wu Yang asked me to help him in Tokyo. He said that Karasuno's instructor pestered him so that Karasuno could also participate in this camp...Compared to phone calls, face-to-face meeting It feels more sincere, and he couldn’t go by himself, so he had to entrust me to go for him.” After Chiho went to Yinkuma, not only saw Kuroyu and Momo, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, but also had a good chat with Coach Nekomata Come, the old man invited her kindly after learning about her resume at the wine table.

"You..." Although Ushishima knew that she had a good relationship with Coach Karasuno, his eyes widened in surprise after hearing these words, "So you already knew? No wonder you..."
He would be so enthusiastic about the two first graders in Karasuno.
"Hmm... this is a small part of the reason, right? I'm just helping out. The big contributor to this sleepover is Coach Nekomata." Chiho stopped her waving hands, thinking carefully, "But I'm It was the first time I really saw Karasuno's team members today, and the main reason is as expected—"
Her words came to a sudden stop here.
"What is it?" Niu Dao was wondering why she didn't continue talking, since she was still eloquent just now.
"Well, I don't want you to know~" Chiho turned her head and gave him a mysterious smile, "This is a secret between me and them~"
Niu Dao also looked down at her and stopped.
"Don't be unhappy~ I'm also doing it for your own good." She said, standing on tiptoe and wrapping her arms around his neck affectionately, with stars shining in her eyes, "Ruoli just keep doing this, just wait and see gone."
The suddenly approaching woody scent made Niu Dao stunned, he knew that she was deliberately hiding something from him again.
Only this time, she spoke so frankly that he had the feeling that even if he didn't know the truth, he would choose to believe her without hesitation.
The two just stared at each other quietly, until the two faces got closer and closer, and gradually they could hear each other's rapid breathing.
"Okay, I'll wait." He finally replied softly, closing his eyes and grabbing her seductive and fragrant lips.
On the morning of the first day of the camp, Chiho was wearing a short-sleeved white T-shirt and black trousers, with a little black wild cat on her head that she only met at the door, and walked into the Yinju Gymnasium, saying hello to the Yinju players who were already warming up there : "Good morning~"
"Good morning Yasuhara-senpai!" Yinkua's second-year player, who looked like a bad team member with mohawk hair, was the first to rush up to her, and replied enthusiastically.
"Uh... hello." She smiled awkwardly. This junior seemed to get a little excited when she saw a woman, which was the type she was not good at dealing with.
"Oh~ good morning, Yasuhara." Heiwei smiled at her from a distance, and waved at her with a hand that was grinding beside him.
"Ah Hei..." Grinding hunchbacked, he said helplessly, "Don't use my hand to say hello to her..."
The other team members also greeted her politely. Since Chiho came here last time, they had already remembered the acquaintance of the captain and coach, but what impressed them most was her beautiful appearance and her ability to always attract cats. unique physique.

Chiho had already crossed Yamamoto and walked up to Coach Nekomata who was sitting on the sidelines, then turned around and answered him: "I don't know, I just met it nearby~"
"Hahaha~ It looks quite similar to Black Tail!" Yejiu Weifu, a free person in the third grade, pointed at the top of her head and joked, "Especially the messy hair on its head!"
Hearing this, Chiho stretched out her hand and gently stroked the cat's back, making it "meow~" comfortably: "It really looks a bit like..."
"Where does it look like!" Heiwei wanted to go up to fight Yejiu violently. This person always confronted him, but Grinding held him tightly from behind.
"Okay, okay~ You guys go to warm up." Chiho urged, and bowed to Coach Maomata again: "Hello."
"En." Mao nodded to her with a smile again, he was still glued to the chair and refused to get up, looking lazy, completely different from the shrewd and capable painting style of Grandpa Wuyang, "Today you will take the name of Yinju's interim manager." I'm here as a helper~ I'll treat you to dinner tonight, you can also drink."
"Hahaha~ I'm so happy, but I'm not allowed to drink, I'm still underage?" Chiho smiled at him, then straightened up and looked at the entrance of the gymnasium, "Aren't the other schools here yet?"
"Three schools have already arrived, and they are still preparing in the dormitory." Yinju's assistant coach, Naoi Gaku, said that he is a young man with a crew cut, a resolute face, and a strong body. "Oh, Cao Cao Cao Cao is here."
Chiho also saw it, and the first to open the door was Owl Valley High School, which she had seen before, followed by Ikukawa from Kanagawa and Senran High School from Saitama.
Although she wondered in her heart why Karasuno hadn't arrived yet, she immediately followed Maoyou who stood up to meet him, planning to get acquainted with the managers of the three schools first.
Due to her rich experience, clear mind and excellent memory, Chiho can also get started quickly as a temporary manager of a school she is not familiar with, and gets along very well with the girls who are managers of other schools.
Of course, the cat above her head brought her a lot of convenience in communicating with people, and no one would reject this soft and cute little animal.
The form of the camp this time is that each school takes turns to play a round-robin practice match. Every time they lose a game, they will be fined to swim around the field for a week.
The teams that had already arrived had already begun to warm up on the field, and it was only then that Karasuno arrived late.
After hearing the news, Kurobi and Yamamoto ran out to meet the team members and took them to the dormitory to get ready, while Chiho and Mao went to meet Karasuno's coach and instructor.
"Long time no see, the cat is coaching again." Wu Yang Xixin stood in the porch and bowed respectfully to the old man.
"Oh~ here we come." The cat waved to him friendly again.
"Thank you for allowing us to participate in this joint practice." Standing next to Wuyang was the instructor of the Karasuno volleyball club, Takeda Kazutsu. He also bowed and thanked Maomata with very standard honorifics.
Standing behind Maoyou, Chiho looked at the two people in front of her curiously. She only heard that Karasuno's current coach was the grandson of Grandpa Wuyang, but this was the first time she saw her.
——I didn't expect to be so young, and my temperament seems a bit rebellious?Takeda-sensei is easy to get along with.
"It's all right~ let's see your level—" the cat just squinted its eyes and agreed, then opened its eyes and grinned proudly: "Since then, how much have you grown?"
"Hmm..." These words seemed to hit Wuyang and Wutian's sore spot, both of them were sweating profusely with the corners of their mouths bent down.
"What do you mean, coach Maoyou?" Chiho didn't know that Karasuno had lost the practice match with Yinju, so she poked her head and asked, "Have you ever played against Karasuno before?"
"Meow?" The cat on her head also snorted.
"Hahaha~ That's right," Mao said with a smug expression, "During Golden Week, we had an appointment with them for a training match, and we won." Japan's Golden Week is from the end of April to the beginning of May, that is to say, the training session Sai was more than two months ago.
"So that's how it is." Chiho could understand, and probably had a complete estimate of Karasuno's current strength in her heart.
"Well, may I ask who this is—?" Wu Yang stared at her, frowning and asked, "I don't think I saw you in Yinju last time?"
——In my impression, there should be no female members in the Otokoma volleyball club?And what happened to that cat? !
Takeda also stared at her with wide eyes behind his double glasses.
"She is the interim manager of Otokoma that I invited for this camp, Chiho Yasuhara. She is not a student of Otokoma, but she used to be the manager of Shiratorizawa Middle School~" the cat said again, and added, " Coach Wuyang, she was recommended to me by your grandfather~"
"Teacher Maoyou!" Chiho felt that the last sentence was completely unnecessary, but he didn't dare to say anything more, so he followed his will and bowed to Wuyang and Takeda: "Hello, please give me more advice during this time! "
"My grandfather?!" Wu Yang, who had never seen Qiansui at his grandfather's house, heard about it for the first time, and was very shocked. "So it's someone he knows... Hello."
"Hello." Wu Tian felt that since she was recognized by Coach Wuyang, she must be very capable, so he couldn't help admiring her.
"Don't be so cautious~ She's a very interesting kid, she's a little different from ordinary high school students." Mao reassured again, deliberately concealing Chiho's professional chess player status from them, "Come in, the camp is about to officially begin. .”
After Chiho returned to the gymnasium, Karasuno's team members also arrived after a while.
She stood on the side of Yinju's field and watched the team she had been waiting for for a long time, but she couldn't find the two familiar figures among them.
Grinding seemed to have the same question as her: "Huh? Where's Xiangyang?"
Yamamoto, who just went out to meet Karasuno to understand the situation, replied with a distressed face: "It seems to be tutoring..."
"Tutoring?!" Chiho almost slipped.
—So those two boys are still scumbags?I failed the final exam, do you still want to come to Tokyo?
It seemed that the hope of seeing them today was basically in vain, so Chiho could only silently step aside, put on her glasses, picked up the recording board, and started the work that the manager should do.
"Oh, that's—?!" Two members of Karasuno noticed her in the various crowds in the hall at a glance, and they asked Heiwei in unison: "When did Yinju get a beautiful manager? "
"Oh, is she?" Kurobi grinned, revealing a row of neat and white teeth, "It's the temporary manager that our coach invited to help~ Although it's not Yinju's."
"Kawaii—!" Ryunosuke Tanaka and Yuu Nishiya roared in unison, but quickly regained composure, "No, we will not betray Miss Jieko!"
"Pfft..." Hotaru Tsukishima covered her mouth and sneered, feeling ashamed for her two idiot seniors.
"But she is indeed very beautiful~ Yueyue?" Tsukishima's friend Yamaguchi Tadashi whispered, "Although she looks more mature than Shimizu-senpai...but there seems to be a feeling of being closer?"
"Don't be rude to the managers of other schools!" The second grader of the third grade, Takashi Sugawara, gave Tanaka and Nishitani a headache. As a careful senior, he really broke his heart for the idiots in the department.
"So nervous..." Dong Fengxu, Wuye's ace attacker, was easily nervous in such a crowded environment, and his trembling and frightened appearance formed a strong contrast with his tall stature and mature appearance.
"Let's go." Captain Daichi Sawamura said calmly, "Let's go to warm up."
Chiho was only concentrating on drawing the form on the recording board, and didn't hear the little restlessness that came from Karasuno because of her.
"Senior Yasuhara is really serious about his work..." Hui Yu walked in front of her, bent down to pick up the ball that fell on the ground, when he stood up, Chiho saw a layer of white paper falling on the white paper in front of her. Shadow, "Didn't you hear what Wu Ye said to you just now?"
"Ah?" Chiho was startled, raised her head and looked up at the other person, her crystal purple eyes reflected his face, because he was really too tall, "What are you talking about?"
"Praise you are cute..." Hui Yu wanted to continue, but Ye Jiu yelled at him: "Lev - come back and warm up!"
"Here we come!" Hui Yu immediately ran away from her when she heard it.
"Alas~" Chiho was confused by this freshman who had a unique personality from appearance to personality, sighed, and then concentrated on the work at hand.
After the practice matches started in various venues, Chiho glanced back and forth among them, quickly capturing useful information.
All the staff have specially trained the serve, and Sheng Chuan, who uses the serve as his main weapon.
The coordination is perfect | the clothes are seamless, and Sen Ran can play the "simultaneous multi-point attack" that confuses the opponent.
Owl Valley, who has Wood Rabbit as the main attacker of the top five levels in the country.
All members are good at catching the ball and defending, and then looking for opportunities to counterattack.
In this group of strong volleyball schools in the East, Karasuno, who is not bad in strength but not distinctive enough, seems a bit mediocre.
——And, as expected, Karasuno lost the most among these schools, and none of them won.
Thinking about it with some disappointment, she was still looking forward to how much change Hinata and Kageyama would bring to the team she saw now if they joined.
After a day's practice match, Karasuno had dived around the field for a few weeks, and the time was almost sunset.
Just when Chiho was preparing to calmly welcome the arrival of the night training——
The gate of the gymnasium was suddenly opened, and under the light of the setting sun outside, there was a hot, stylishly dressed woman with short hair and sweat on her face. She said excitedly: "Oh~ are you still playing? That's great~ Finally caught up!"
Her loud voice attracted everyone's attention, and Chiho also looked at her curiously.
"Sister!" Xi Gu shouted at her reverently.
"Eh? Is this Xigu's sister?" Dongfeng was a little surprised.
"No, it's Long's sister!" Xi Gu replied.
"It's really similar..." Sugawara commented, the sister's face was almost the same as Tanaka's.
"It's great that you're all right..." Tanaka panted, his eyes became sharp, as if seeing a savior.
Chiho looked behind that older sister, and she smiled happily——
It was the two people she had been waiting here for a whole day, and they were also out of breath, and they seemed to come here non-stop from Miyagi.
"Hey~ Is the main character finally on the stage?" Heiwei stood in the field and said sarcastically, "It really makes me angry~"
Under the backdrop of an imminent sunset, Hyuga and Kageyama stood at the open gate, one on the left and the other on the right, and Chiho felt as if two little crows were flying past in front of her eyes.
"It's really hard to wait~" She rubbed the sore corners of her eyes, "Let me see what you guys are capable of."
"Eh?!" Hinata Kageyama also spotted her when she walked in, "Why is senior sister here?"
"Huh?" Kurobi was very surprised, she didn't expect Chiho to know people from Karasuno, so she explained to them again.
"Yo~ How are you guys?" Chiho smiled and waved at them, "Please give me more advice these days."
"No... Isn't Yasuhara-senpai from Shiratorizawa?!" Hinata asked.
"No, I'm just going..." When Chiho said this, her face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she buried her head in front of the recording board, embarrassed to continue.
"Meow~" the kitten lying on top of her head let out a soft cry.
"Because she's Ushijima Ruori's girlfriend." Kurobi helped her out with a smirk.
As soon as these words came out, all the people in the audience stopped their movements instantly, only the sound of the volleyball falling to the ground.
"Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The turmoil caused by Chiho's identity was quickly settled under the appearance of coach Nekomata, and the practice match continued normally.
What caught Senran, Karasuno's next opponent by surprise, was that after Hinata and Kageyama joined, their "weird fast attack" was so fast that they couldn't keep up with the block, and they lost the game.
Chiho looked distractedly at the field where Karasuno was, she was also shocked by their performance in the practice match just now.
——Extremely fast and large-scale pull and run attack?Indeed a very strong weapon to get out of the block, and almost unique in their fit.
--but……
She shook her head. Karasuno is still not strong enough if he only has this, not to mention the room for improvement of other players. Stopped after acclimatization.
"You still say you want to defeat Shiratorizawa... Am I expecting too much from them?" Chiho took a sip of iced orange juice and said regretfully, "If they can learn a lot of useful things in this sleepover That's fine...otherwise, it would be difficult to enter the finals of the Miyagi qualifiers."
It's dinnertime after training, and the cat has fulfilled his morning promise again.
"Hahaha~ You are really kind." The cat raised a large glass of beer to clink with her again, "Why do you care so much about those two children? Logically speaking, you should be on the side of Shiratorizawa, right? ? Well, although I was shocked when I first found out about it today~"
"Woo... Please don't tease me..." Chiho put her hands on her forehead and looked at the table in despair, and said bitterly, "It's all Black Tail-kun's fault!"
"Hahahahaha~" Tanaka's sister Saeko grabbed her shoulders, "Don't be so shy, tell me how you and Niuruo met?"
"That's right!" Wu Yang's face turned red from drinking, "Didn't I hear that he is a very cold person? I really didn't expect to have such a lovely girlfriend..."
——No wonder Coach Maoyou told him like that this morning, he believed it now.
"It's not a very special story... He and I were childhood sweethearts, that's all." Chiho spread her hands and replied flatly.
"Then I want to listen too!" Sister Xizi was still gossiping, she didn't let go of her hand on her shoulder, "Just tell me the story of you and him when you were young?"
"Oh, okay..." Chiho took a sip of orange juice, and told them this plain yet dramatic story from the beginning.
However, as she talked, she found that everyone at the wine table had gradually become unconscious.
She stroked the sleeping kitten in her arms, with an extremely happy smile on her face.
——The narration just now made her recall the bits and pieces of the past with him. It turns out that the two of them already have so many memories in common.
There was a sweet impulse in my chest, even if the two places were temporarily separated, the story between her and him would continue.
The orange juice in the glass has been drunk, but Chiho's throat is still very thirsty.
But she didn't care too much, instead she took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Niu Dao.
To Xiao Ruoli: I had a great time together~ Everyone is working hard to become stronger, you should work hard!Plus - I love you!
"Heh." Niu Dao looked at the phone and chuckled lightly, his tone so indulgent that he didn't even realize how beautiful it was.
"I love you too."
The author has something to say:
I really like the daily life outside of small volleyball games~ everyone is very cute!
