[Comprehensive main volleyball] long distance pass

"They said their names are Komori and Sakuzao, and they are from Jingdaishan Academy. It seems that they have known you and Ushishima before." The next morning, the two sat opposite each other in front of the chessboard. Kiriyama handed her a cup of hangover tea, The green eyes turned left and right, and quickly recalled the situation of last night, "After they handed you over to me, they drove away without saying anything."

"So it's them...Speaking of which, Jingdashan Academy is indeed nearby." Chiho took a sip from the tea bowl, the slightly bitter taste woke her up completely, and she lowered her head to stare at the clear and clear Brown liquid, eyes dim: "Oh~ I owe them a favor."

"Are they also from the volleyball club? Have you met them in games before?" Tongshan tilted his head, remembering that the two teenagers were also tall and strong, so he couldn't help but speculate.

"Well, and it's also a player of the national championship candidate team, and their strengths are not trivial." Chiho raised a smile, "After watching their games, I can't help but like this team~"

"Hey?! Is it the number one level in the country?" Tongshan was amazed, his face became serious again, and he taught in a stern tone: "You were lucky to meet them last night. It's a matter, why don't you call Shimada-senpai to go with you? In case something goes wrong again..."

"Yes, thank you for taking me in too." Chiho returned the empty tea bowl to him, and pressed her hand to her forehead in pain, "I was scolded by Ruoli on the phone just now... woo..."

"That's a matter of course. You are a little careless this time. He is really worried." Tongshan stood up and walked to the kitchen. "After carrying you back yesterday, he called me to confirm."

"Hmm..." Chiho turned her head to look at the river view outside the balcony, and responded sullenly, "I will apologize to him face to face."

"So what are your plans today? Are you going to Miyagi?" Kiriyama turned his back on her, turned on the faucet and began to wash the dishes, "You are quite free during this time? If you stop at the final preliminaries for the chess jihad, the next ranking match ...is it next month?"

"No, I'm going to Saitama first, and then go to Miyagi." She opened the balcony door a crack, letting in a stream of steaming heat, "Leaving this afternoon, I still have some things to do in Saitama."

"Oh." Tongshan turned off the water, and the rustling sound of water disappeared immediately.

The conversation between the two also came to an abrupt end.

——After Chiho officially became a professional chess player, her relationship with Kiriyama began to become delicate.

They also entered the game as "genius chess players" in their teens. In the eyes of others, the two are tit-for-tat competitors. Every time they compete, they will discuss whether Yasuhara or Kiriyama can go further.

However, only those who are familiar with them know that although the two will meet each other in various competitions and win or lose, they are unwilling to give up the precious bond established since childhood.

As Er Haitang said, he regards the other party as an eternal opponent and an eternal friend.

——"Heart Friend", Er Haitang used this word to describe this relationship.

This is the case among the three of them, they are "heart friends" to each other.

It is because of them that Chiho believes that she is no longer alone in the world of shogi.

That's why I can endure those strange pure malice, and get up after falling again and again.

"Xiaoling, thank you very much, but it's time for me to leave." Chiho broke the silence first, closed the glass door of the balcony, stood up and went to get her bag, "By the way, I'm planning to go to Sanriyuetang to get some snacks .If you plan to go to Kawamoto's house, why don't you come with me?"

"Okay." Tongshan smiled softly, and followed her out of the house.

——He is no longer the weak boy he used to be, and now he is closely connected with the most cherished people around him.

The two crossed the bridge over the Mikazukicho River, walked along the long embankment, and stopped in front of the old wooden house.

"Grandpa Kawamoto~!" Chiho opened the curtain and shouted to the kitchen: "I'm here to pick up the things I ordered earlier!"

"Okay!" The old man, who was still full of vigor, came out, holding a large stack of snack boxes stacked high in his hands, and divided them into five big bags: "It's all ready~ You can also enjoy it in summer." Save the new wagashi set, and it is a special price!"

This terrifying amount stunned Kiriyama on the side.

"Thank you for your hard work!" Chiho paid the money, and easily took all the bags with just two hands under Kiriyama's shocked eyes.

"Anyuan... Who are you bringing so many snacks for?" He tremblingly pointed at Chiho who was not panting, "Do you need my help?"

"No need, go to Kawamoto's house quickly, these are for friends in Saitama." Chiho blinked her bright eyes, and answered mysteriously, "They are all very edible guys, no More preparation won't be enough."

"I'm back—!" That night, as soon as Chiho arrived at her destination, she went straight to the gate of the izakaya, carrying five overstuffed bags in her hand.

"Hey~ You're finally here!" The cat raised his glass again and shouted excitedly at her, "Congratulations on your triumph~"

"Thank you~" Chiho walked to the table with a smile, put down the bag, and sat next to Takeda, "Boss~ a glass of iced orange juice!"

"An Yuan, what are these?" Wu Yang on the opposite side stretched his neck curiously.

"It's the 'consolation item' I brought from Tokyo. These are some homemade snacks from my friend's house. I can distribute them to each team at tomorrow's BBQ~ I've been away for so long, so I have to apologize, right?"

"Thank you very much! Actually, you don't have to be so polite!" Takeda hurriedly bowed to her, expressing his gratitude to her on behalf of Karasuno.

"Sigh." Chiho took the orange juice handed over by the boss and sighed dejectedly, "Don't say that, since I agreed to join you, it's just a small gesture~ Besides, it's rare to meet a group of Senior who treats me so well..."

The scene at the izakaya last night gradually overlapped with the scene in front of her, making her feel sick from the bottom of her heart, and she lowered her eyelashes and stared at the table in a daze.

"What's the matter, Yasuhara? Did something happen in Tokyo?" Naoi noticed that something was wrong with her words and expressions.

The cat stared at her blankly again, thinking that he was wrong.

——Will the kitty, who is always confident, cunning and clever, also show the tangled expression just now?

"Hey..." Maoyou was about to say something, but was interrupted by her words.

"It's okay." Chiho shook her head lightly, suppressing the discomfort, "It's all nothing worth mentioning."

"Is that so?" The cat clinked glasses with her again, "Then forget about it tonight! You have to come to work tomorrow!"

"Haha good~ drink slowly." Chiho thanked, took a sip, and began to lead the topic to Hesu: "Coach Wuyang, how is your team's training results in the past few days? Hinata and Kageyama's new fast break Have you had any success?"

"Oh, don't mention it." Wu Yang lit a cigarette, "It's too much to win 60 rounds after playing more than 3 rounds... I still can't play the new fast break."

"It's really been through hardships~" Takeda laughed at himself with a wry smile.

"Hmm, haha! Indeed!" Wu Yang was completely annoyed by his "disappointing" team.

Chiho glanced to the other side, and the cat was pulling Naoi to chat happily: "Then...they should still have the potential to continue to evolve, right? As long as they can develop a new offensive and defensive system..."

"If it was them in Qingcheng, they probably could have won a few more rounds." Wu Yang took a puff of cigarette, closed his eyes and recalled Wu Ye's appearance in the IH qualifiers, "After all, at that time Hinata and Kageyama's 'monster fast attack' and Karasuno's offensive style with bait as the axis have already been relatively formed."

"However, because of this, everyone realized the limit of this style of play. In fact, they did lose to Qingcheng in the end." Wu Yang continued to analyze, "That's why I want to challenge new things, isn't it?"

Chiho nodded understandingly, thinking of her experience in Shiratorizawa Middle School - using an immature system would eventually hit its ceiling, and she would be helpless when facing stronger opponents, so she had to go through constant Only by learning and training to master new things can we become stronger.

"I know all of this." Takeda also expressed his understanding, but he still had full trust in Karasuno. He made a metaphor: "Everyone is on the way to make their own 'gears', and it is not a stage when everything is not yet formed." It may be better than those of the Kanto powers."

"—However, once the gears mesh with each other." He stopped talking.

The three of them looked at each other and smiled at the same time.

"Don't think that you can easily defeat Yinju?" The cat suddenly appeared out of nowhere and put on Takeda's shoulder.

"How could it be easy to win!" Takeda raised his hands and replied in a panic, but the young instructor refused to admit defeat, and then sat upright, showing another affirmative smile to the cat: "We will take out Fight with all your arms and win."

Chiho was amazed at his courage, and the cat's eyes widened again: "The tone has become louder~ Teacher!"

"Hahahahaha..." Takeda probably got drunk, and laughed out loud.

"Coach Wuyang, Sensei Takeda!" Chiho slapped the table, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "When you return to Miyagi tomorrow..."

The last day of the camp.

Chiho, who had been missing for three days, suddenly appeared in the gymnasium today, causing quite a commotion.

"Your game is over?" Heiwei asked while warming up, "Did you win?"

"I won." Chiho replied briefly, and moved to the side: "Concentrate on warming up."

"Cut~ I'm just concerned, why are you so nervous?" Heiwei pouted.

She straightened her glasses: "Thank you then."

"Why does it feel like you've changed when you go back to Tokyo..." He was still relentlessly complaining.

"If you have time to care about me, let's care about the next practice match with Xiaogu~" Chiho turned her head, with a kind smile on her face, "Don't lose too badly, okay?"

"Don't worry, we will definitely win!" Seeing that she hadn't changed, Heiwei was relieved and retorted unhappily.

"Ah Hei... that's still a bit difficult." Mo Mo said weakly.

"Don't dismantle my table, grind it..."

The result is still lost, 22-25.

"Win! Hehehe~!" Wooden Rabbit uttered his signature cry, looking at Yinju with a mocking face.

"Damn it!" Heiwei scolded, holding his head in his arms, "Dive for a week!"

And when Yinju finished diving, the match between Karasuno and Ikukawa also ended.

"Fish for a week!!" Sawamura shouted aggressively.

"This look of being familiar with punishment is simply full of strange majesty..." Heiwei said while wiping his sweat.

Chiho raised her head and took a glance, and found that Hinata Yuyue's movement quality had improved significantly.

Karasuno's next practice match is against Xiaogu, which is also their last match of the day.

"I hope the little crows can make a breakthrough in actual combat~ It's a pity to return empty-handed." She said to the cat with dead fish eyes, "And I don't want to give BBQ and snacks to a group of people who haven't grown up. rookie..."

"Don't worry, according to my observations in the past few days—" the cat drew out the tone again, "they will definitely master some things initially."

"By the way... what's the matter with the 'flesh meat' they're shouting?" Chiho crossed her arms, the corners of her mouth twitching, "Has the BBQ incident been leaked?"

"I don't have...?" Mao was also confused.

Karasuno's practice match against Xiaogu confirmed Maomata's statement.

Everyone in Karasuno grew, and as Takeda-sensei said, the gears began to "mesh together," albeit roughly, in pairs.

First of all, Hinata learned to use the lob to score, and it is said that Mutu personally taught him.

Immediately afterwards, Kageyama, who was in excellent form, accurately lifted the "hovering toss", and cooperated with Hinata to complete the new fast break, and hit Owl Valley by surprise, although he still failed when he tried again later.

Xigu and Dongfeng were able to cooperate and complete the attack from the back row driven by the libero's toss, although the toss was too low and the spike went out of bounds.

The simultaneous multi-point attack under the first rhythm is even more dazzling, which puts a lot of pressure on Xiaogu.

The score was tightly clenched, 19-18, with Xiaogu leading by only one point.

At this time - Wood Rabbit's weakness appeared.

Due to impatience and constant mistakes, the score was overtaken by Karasuno for the first time.

"Don't pass the ball to me today!" He turned his back and made a resistive and negative declaration to his teammates.

"There's... Wood Rabbit's 'negative mode'." Chiho had seen it many times at the National Convention, and was already quite used to Xiaogu's "features".

However, this was the first time Wu Ye saw it, and he thought he had an opportunity to catch up and win the game in one fell swoop.

But the other people in Xiaogu are not easy to mess with. Even if Mutu is not in shape, they can still recover the score by virtue of their outstanding personal abilities.

Xiaogu got the match point first, 24-22.

"Mutu-kun is really happy to be the trump card in such a team." Chiho asked Mao You: "But it will still be difficult without him, right? As long as he can get back to his form quickly..."

"Yes~ In terms of personal ability, Wooden Rabbit is indeed the best among them." The cat replied again.

At this moment, Tsukishima blocked the net and successfully scored for Karasuno.

"But—they will leave this last delicacy to their ace?" He continued.

The last point was scored by Chiwei tossing the ball to Mutu - the trump card of resurrection has returned.

Although the process was somewhat tortuous, Xiaogu still won the game and defended the dignity of the "strongest" team in this camp.

"Hahaha~ Mr. Mutu's stupidity, maybe it's a genius..." Qiansui looked at the noisy owl who was revived with "hehehe!" under the flattery of his teammates, laughing until his stomach hurts .

"Punishment - one week of diving!!" Sawamura set an example again.

"Congratulations, the camp is a complete success." At the final barbecue meeting, Chiho distributed the snacks she brought to the captains of each team, "These and the barbecue are all rewards from our coaching staff~"

"Thank you~" Heiwei blinked his left eye at her, and he knew that he was not thinking of anything good.

"Meaty meat!" Wooden Rabbit stared at the grill, eager to wait.

"Don't swallow it alone—!!" Chiho yelled at their scattered backs.

However, fortunately, they were obedient and gave each team member a piece.

Chiho carried a plate and "swept" between the grills, with a rice ball in her mouth.

--hateful!Save some for me!

"Miss Chiho!" In the chaos, Hinata saw her and warmly invited her, "Hey, do you want to come here!"

"Xiao Xiangyang?" She found that Heiwei, Wooden Rabbit and Huiyu were with him, "Oh~ thank you, then I'm welcome!"

But just as she stretched out her chopsticks to pick up a piece of meat, she was preempted by another pair.

"No—this is mine!" Wooden Rabbit stuffed the meat into its mouth, and then gave a characteristic smug laugh: "Hey hey hey~!"

"Still grabbing food from girls, don't you lose face..." Heiwei picked up a piece of meat and put it on Chiho's plate, "Sorry, don't bother with this idiot."

"It's okay, thank you." Chiho shrugged indifferently, being very tolerant of the single-celled creature like the wood rabbit.

"Hey, you'll spoil him like this..." Black Tail squinted his eyes halfway, and glanced at Wooden Rabbit who was having a heated chat with Hinata.

"He has been spoiled, isn't that how he is spoiled by his teammates?"

"makes sense."

"Hahahahaha!" Both of them laughed heartily.

"All... the top five in the country?! That's amazing!" Hinata seemed to have chatted with Mutu about the ranking of the main attackers, and they pricked up their ears again.

"Really? I'm very good~ Wahahaha!" Wooden Rabbit still smiled triumphantly.

Kurobi couldn't stand it any longer, and decided to hit this arrogant trump card, and said to Hinata, "But your Ushiwaka from Miyagi can enter the top three?"

"Hey! Don't say that kind of thing suddenly to cover up Lao Tzu's light!" The wooden rabbit really took the bait and got into a fight with him.

Although this topic was brought up to her boyfriend, Chiho, who had finally found a food supply source, didn't want to participate, but silently and Huiyu who was beside her concentrated on eating meat.

"That..." However, Hui Yu also betrayed her, still chewing, and asked inarticulately: "The first three, that is to say, there are two more people?"

"Hmm... Regarding this matter, I think Yasuhara has the most say?" Heiwei smiled knowingly, and deliberately handed over the task of "science popularization" to her.

Yue Dao, who was passing by, heard their conversation and stopped, full of curiosity about the so-called "top three in the country".

"Hmm!" Suddenly becoming the focus of attention of the younger generation, Chiho quickly swallowed the food, "Cough cough cough, please remember Kurobi... In short, Ruori from the Northeast is one of them, and Sakuzao from the Kanto Kiryu from Kyushu—these are the three main attackers of the national high schools this year."

"Cut." The wooden rabbit who was not among them spat unhappily.

"One of them happened to be in Miyagi..." Tsukishima snorted coldly.

"Oh! Ayue! You've been my spike practice opponent for so long, so don't be afraid of Niu Ruo!!" Mutu held a lot of hostility towards Niu Dao, and was very hostile to his "partner" Yue. growled the island.

Chiho didn't care much about Mutu's indirect provocation, but raised her chopsticks to encourage Yue Dao: "That's right, I think you should at least stop the ball from Ruoli, right? Otherwise, I'd be too sorry for Mutu-kun." ? A goal is also a victory~"

"Can you stop calling me 'A Yue', and are you really his girlfriend..." Yue Dao calmly complained about the "stupidity" of the two seniors.

"But even if the ace is in the top three, it doesn't mean that his team is in the top three?" Heowei said calmly, "However, Jingda Mountain, where Sakuzao is located, is a candidate for the winner~"

"Cough, cough, cough...!" Chiho now has a headache when she hears "Jingdashan", because she is still worrying about how to thank Komori and Sakuzao, and she seems to be coughing up the food she just swallowed.

"Hey, Yasuhara, you are really a little weird today?" Kurobi saw that she reacted abnormally, and the sense of disobedience from before reappeared, "You seem to have said something like 'I like Sakuhaa more' before, right? Are you talking to him? ..."

"Huh?" Chiho grabbed his shoulder and shook it back and forth desperately, "I just like his delicate online skills! Where are you going?!"

"I was wrong!!" Heiwei, whose life was threatened, raised his hands and surrendered.

"Then... if you knock them all down, you will be number one in Japan!" Hinata and Huiba ignored the farce, and said to Chiho and Kuro with burning eyes.

"Yes, it is indeed..." Chiho stopped shaking Kuroyu's hand, "However, do you really dare to say it?"

"Two giants of scum and technology~" Heiwei sneered coldly, pointing at the chicken coop head that had been shaken even more messily.

"Hahahahaha!" Chiho was amused by this address, let go of Kurotail's hand, laughing until her shoulders trembled.

"I said you..." Heiwei scratched his messy hair, "You really are not normal today."

"Oh, that's probably because—" She stopped laughing instantly, her eyes seemed to be dead.

"Because of what?" Hinata and Huiba asked again at the same time.

Black Tail also blinked his eyes and looked at her blankly.

"I'm going back to Miyagi to see Ruori soon, and this time he seems to be very angry with me... because of something." The voice became weaker and weaker, sounding very confident.

Tsukishima raised his eyebrows, feeling ominous: "Then when are you going back to Miyagi?"

"Just after this camp is over, I'll go back together in your Wuye's car~ I've already agreed with Coach Wuyang and Takeda-sensei."

"what--?!"

The author has something to say:

The male protagonist will be online soon, and the qualifiers will begin!

Karasuno vs Shiratorizawa, this match is the last carnival~
