[volleyball! ! ] Ruoxu Xianchen

It's quite satisfying.

Or it can be said that since junior high school, he has never had a very strong desire to see her, but when he heard her waving and calling his name when his mind was empty, he suddenly became aware of her existence. , it is quite enough for him.

But at this time, he suddenly remembered something that he had neglected for a long time, something that he didn't realize until he met Oi Chuan several times.

——Is she still in love with Oikawa-senpai?

[one]

On the eve of the summer vacation, Kageyama, who thought he was absolutely innocent, was still quite irritable and worried after he came back from the Tokyo expedition and had a conflict with Hinata.

The club activities were suspended for a day due to the maintenance of the gymnasium. Kageyama, who is currently unable to train and has nothing to do, walks down the street with his head buried in a depression that cannot be resolved.

"Really, brother, you idiot!"

Passing through the busy street with intertwined traffic, a burst of angry shouts reached the ears of the young man who bowed his head forward. The familiar tone made him look up unconsciously, and it turned out that it was true that he was receiving the collective attention of the crowd. It's people you know.

"Eh? Kageyama-kun, good day~"

The girl who was yelling at the mobile phone one second, the next second when she saw the boy who stopped in her tracks, immediately raised her hand and waved in greeting, completely ignoring the boy who was troubled by her and surrounded by her eyes , embarrassment here and now.

"Ah...well, Narumi-senpai, why are you here alone?"

Knowing that there was nowhere to escape, Kageyama had no choice but to bite the bullet and walked forward, and asked after returning a polite greeting.

"Don't mention it, I was already very unhappy when my friend released pigeons for no reason, but I just received a call from my brother saying that he made a mistake in the class schedule, so I can come back today... By the way, today is my brother's birthday, He said before that he didn't have time to come back, and I even mailed the gift."

"Isn't this a good thing?"

Kageyama asked back puzzledly, completely ignoring the reason for her anger, but the girl in front of him who was half a head shorter than him and with puffy cheeks was angered again by his natural rhetorical question.

"Can I not be angry? After planning the celebration for so long, he said he didn't have time to come back, and then changed his mind when I was completely unprepared that day. This is really..."

It was probably the first time that Kageyama saw such vivid expression changes on Izumo's face, from a happy expression when he saw himself, to an angry expression when he complained, and finally he lowered his head helplessly...

——Narumi-senpai today, why do you always feel a little different?

As for this question, before he could figure out why, the girl who was still depressed just now regained her usual vigor in an instant. She raised her wrist and glanced at her watch, pondered for a moment, then clapped her fists, and said——

"If you return to Miyagi from Kyoto, my brother needs to transfer trains in Tokyo, and he hasn't left school when he called just now, umm, if there's time, start preparing now!"

Energetic in the analysis and planning, Izumo, who felt that the plan was feasible, nodded heavily, and then looked at the boy who had begun to have a bad feeling with bright eyes.

"Mr. Yingshan, are you free now? Help me if you can. I can introduce my brother to you. I promised you before, but I still haven't fulfilled the promise."

If you really want to compare it, Kageyama feels that Izumo's earnest expression at this time is very similar to Hinata who is eagerly looking forward to his tossing the ball, but the difference is that he does not seem to have any legitimate excuses to refuse the girl's request. .

"The gymnasium is overhauled today, so there is no training, but, Narumi-senpai, what do you want me to do for you?"

"Let's go shopping first. There seems to be a store nearby. Oh, and I have to order a birthday cake first. I have saved my phone number in the store that my brother likes..."

While rummaging through the phone's address book, he looked around for the location of the store, and when the phone signal was connected and the signage happened together, Izumo, who wanted to take care of both sides at the same time and couldn't separate himself, subconsciously pulled over With the hand of the young man beside him, he took a step and ran.

"Ming..."

Yingshan wanted to remind him, but was blocked by the girl's predetermined voice. He lowered his head and looked at his held hand. He always felt an indescribable strangeness. The strange temperature was different from the usual tossing. The touch of the volleyball made him suddenly feel a little flustered, but in the end he let it go without any repulsion at all.

[two]

When Izumo came out of the store, Izumo was carrying two big shopping bags full of things in both hands, and the way he walked was shaky, which made Kageyama consciously unable to stand.

"Let me do it, Narumi-senpai."

Yingshan took it from the girl's hand naturally, and when his fingertips brushed her red knuckles, the inexplicable strange feeling just now came again, but this time before he could figure out the feeling, he let out a long breath. Izumo withdrew his hand in one breath.

"Since you said that, then I'm not being polite~ Let me see, it's faster than I expected. Next, I went to pick up the cake I ordered, and I can go home directly."

"Are you going to Narumi-senpai's house?"

The boy subconsciously asked back in shock, only to get an inexplicable expression of "Of course" on the girl's face, and Kageyama, who also realized that he was making a fuss, had to look away pretending to check the traffic on both sides.

After picking up the cake, the two of them went straight to the station. Although they were holding hands just now, they didn't care about it at all, but now they are walking under the scorching sun with two shopping bags in their hands. Even if they are used to the club training Kageyama also began to feel a little impatient.

"Speaking of which, Narumi-senpai mentioned before that your brother is also on the volleyball team, so what about now? Are you still playing?"

"Eh?"

The little surprise seeping out of this short sound was clear and distinct, even the single-celled Kageyama could feel it, and Izumo was shocked at the first time he brought up the topic.

"You're talking about this. Although my brother has been playing since elementary school, he didn't continue to say anything when he got to college. I don't understand why."

"It's such a pity..."

The boy expresses his regret expressionlessly, but his eyes can't help but fall on the end of the girl's swaying ponytail in front of him, and then he can't help but move up to her half-covered nape...

Suddenly realizing where he was staring, the young man blushed in embarrassment and hurriedly looked away. As a result, his eyes dodged hastily, but he caught a familiar figure standing at the intersection of the street waiting for the signal light to change.

——How did you meet here!

Almost at the same time when Kageyama recognized the man, the other party just happened to look at this side, his frown clearly showed his displeasure at the moment, and the next second, the other party seemed to notice Izumo who was walking in front , he paused for a few seconds, then raised his eyelids to look at the boy, then slowly stretched his brows and raised his hands——

"Hey, little Izumo, long time no see, how are you doing recently?"

[three]

It can only be said that Oikawa's greeting came too suddenly, and Izumo, who was looking down for his mobile phone in his pocket, was so startled that he lost his grip and dropped it, and just slid along the ground to Oikawa.

Seeing this situation, Oikawa smiled and leaned over to pick it up and handed it back to the girl. At the same time—maybe it was just his own illusion—Kageyama felt that he glanced this way intentionally or unintentionally.

"Thank you... No! Why are you here, Oikawa-senpai, what a surprise!"

Izumo was stunned for a second before expressing his due thanks, then put away his phone and lifted the cake gift box in his hand, looking up at Oikawa with surprise on his face.

"Something happened, and when I passed by here, I saw Izumo from a distance."

"I see, but Oikawa-senpai still remembers me, I really didn't expect~"

Kageyama, who was deliberately ignored by Oikawa and could only watch their conversation, felt for the first time that he would be so unwilling to lose to Oikawa in anything other than volleyball.

"How could I forget, Izumo-chan is the cute little sister Tsubasa-senpai always talks about~"

"Ahaha... Oikawa-senpai is also the cute junior that my brother always talks about..."

Kageyama still stood without saying a word, but his unaware gaze was fixed on that point, until Izumo turned around with a dry smile, and his hesitant gaze came into his vision .

"By the way, Oikawa-senpai hasn't greeted Kageyama-kun yet... Eh? Have you played a game recently? Why do you think... the smell of gunpowder is a bit strong..."

Unaware of the "new and old hatred" between the two of them, the girl who just wanted to divert Oikawa's attention suddenly felt a chill that seemed to condense the air, and it didn't take long before her expression returned to normal Oikawa spread his hands with a pure smile——

"No, don't worry, don't worry, I was only attracted by Izumo just now, so I didn't realize that Xiao Feixiong was there, I'm sorry, I'm sorry~"

——Who are you kidding, obviously the sight at that time was me first!

The Kageyama youth who looked ferocious after frowning, still stared at the idle Oikawa calmly, without any hesitation about what they were talking about when they came down.

"By the way... whose birthday is it today? Little Izumo even bought a cake."

"Oh, today is my brother's birthday, and he will come back from Kyoto later, so I asked Kageyama-kun to help me."

"Hey~ Senior Tsubasa is going back to Miyagi? I haven't seen him for a long time... Izumo, do you mind if I come with you? I want to meet Senior Tsubasa a little bit
