[Volleyball] Mizuno-san next door

"Ah Nuo..." After the English class, Ya Ji just wanted to open his mouth to apologize to Kageyama who was hurt by her unintentional words.

But Kageyama left his seat straight away, and walked out of the classroom with his hands in his pockets.

Probably... went to the bathroom?

In the end, she found desperately that once she comforted herself like this, she would lose.

Just a few minutes between classes slipped away from his fingertips until lunch, when he gnawed the bread and then fell asleep on the table.

Originally, I really wanted to make friends with this neighbor from the same junior high school, but I didn't want my slightly vicious tongue to mess things up.

But the setter is also very strange, isn't it?

Since you care so much about "unpopularity", why do you always put on a fart expression of "don't approach me"?

She picked up a piece of tamagoyaki and put it into her mouth, clenched her chopsticks and thought about it.

"Strange person..." After lunch, Yaji leaned against the window sill in the corridor, opened the flip of his phone, and planned to find a friend on LINE who knows the North No. [-] Volleyball Club very well, and ask about the "king of the field" things.

Quickly scanning line by line of text in the dialog box, the truth about the "King" made her eyes widen slightly, and her knuckles holding the phone stiffened.

The friend who enthusiastically explained the ins and outs to Yaji, after learning that Kageyama became her next table, joked about "be careful to become a courtier who is ordered to die".

"No, thank you anyway~"

Yaji sighed, and turned off the phone. The lanyard with complicated decorations at the bottom was hanging from the edge of the school uniform skirt, and the transparent crystals embellished on it shone with dazzling iridescence under the direct sunlight at noon.

Just as she calmed down her calm and turbulent mood, she raised her eyes and saw that Kageyama was coming out of the classroom with a sleepy face, turned his back to her, and headed towards the stairs.

good chance!

Yaji finally waited for the perfect opportunity to be alone with him, and followed behind him without hesitation.

It turned out that Kageyama was going to buy a drink from the vending machine outside on the first floor. He stretched out two fingers, pressed the buttons of two identical boxed yogurts, and yawned long.

This is a secluded corner outside the teaching building, and Yaji quickly walked up to him, intending to take this opportunity to apologize to him.

But she found that his attention seemed to be attracted by something. While drinking yogurt with his back to the wall, he listened intently to the vague conversation coming from the other side of the corner.

It was a conversation between Mr. Sugawara and Hinata.

"Hinata, you play volleyball because you want to beat Kageyama?"

"Eh? That... I hope... I can become stronger, strong enough to defeat that Kageyama..."

"Who are they, Mr. Setter? Do you know anyone?"

Another female voice suddenly sounded in his ears startled Ying Shan who was listening to the corner, afraid of being discovered by those two people, he subconsciously turned around and covered her mouth.

Aki leaned against the wall, looking at Kageyama who was facing her fiercely.

She blinked in horror.

"Shh, don't talk," he warned, sounding like a threat.

Although she didn't know what happened, she nodded obediently.

If passers-by see this scene, they will definitely mistake it for the kidnapping of female high school students by the underworld.

"I don't want to lose again."

Kageyama then heard Hinata say this.

He withdrew his hand, snorted coldly, turned around and left Ya Ji who was stunned, and prepared to go back to the classroom.

Just posted too close!

She felt the heat on her face.

"In other words, right now, Hinata, you put Kageyama in the position of 'the strongest' among people of the same age as you?"

"This! Um...well..."

"Since he is the 'strongest enemy' you have ever encountered, wouldn't he become the 'strongest comrade-in-arms' now?"

At this time, the continuing conversation woke her up.

Only then did Yaji remember the purpose of following her, she turned her head and saw that Yingshan was already some distance away from her, so she hurriedly trotted up and called out to him before he passed the corner at the other end.

"Wait a minute—Mr. Setter!"

Kageyama stopped in his tracks, turned sideways and glanced at her with pouted lips: "Huh?"

Hinata's words occupied his mind just now, and he realized that he seemed to have overlooked something.

Why is she following me? !

Yaji stood still under his suspicious gaze, with a serious face, and bowed deeply: "The words I said to you in the morning seem to have hurt you, so I'm sorry!"

The air was silent for a few seconds.

After a long time, Yingshan uttered a word awkwardly: "Oh."

In fact, he had already forgotten about it. If she hadn't apologized on purpose, he would never have thought about it.

However, she actually remembered.

It's not bad that my feelings are taken care of by someone I don't know well.

"You...although you can't tell from the outside, you are actually a nice person." He raised the corner of his mouth, "Except for the fact that you can't remember your name."

"Hahaha... People often say that." She straightened up and touched her nose in embarrassment, "It's just as long as you don't mind."

"Anyway, I'm not welcome, and it's no big deal."

"Oh..." Yaji cursed, your expression looks super unwilling, okay? !

So, the two entered the teaching building side by side and went back to the classroom together.

"Mr. Setter, those two people you eavesdropped on - Tangerine Head and Lai Mole Sang, who are they?"

"Puhaha...!" Kageyama was so teased that he burst into tears when he heard her nickname for Hinata.

Reminiscent of the orange hair, this is a vivid description, but the key to his happiness is that he and Hinata are really at odds——

He is short and poorly skilled, but he has amazing reflexes and jumping ability.

After the game in junior high school, he asked him angrily, "What have you been doing for the past three years?"

After entering high school, Hinata still didn't make much progress.

Kageyama doesn't think that the current him can bring any help to "Winning".

But Hinata was also practicing with Senior Sugawara during the lunch break, saying "I don't want to lose again".

He realized that Hinata was serious.

——If he can grow to the point where he is willing to "win" by tossing the ball for him...?

Kageyama stopped laughing, and replied to Aki, who was climbing the stairs behind him: "Jianzitou is a first-year student, and he wants to join the volleyball club just like me. Mole-san is a senior in the third-year volleyball club."

He didn't tell Yaji their names, and she couldn't remember them anyway.

"Oh~ then you will be teammates from now on, right?"

"Yes..." Even though he was 1 unwilling to be teammates with Hinata, he had to admit the fact.

"Why did you answer so reluctantly..." Yaji complained with twitching corners of his mouth.

She cleared her throat again, and continued, "After you left just now, I heard Lei Mole sang tell Juzitou that you would be his 'strongest comrade in arms'. I don't know much about volleyball, but a third-year senior To be able to praise you like this, then Mr. Setter is actually very powerful, right? After all, you were also called 'King' or something... I just asked a friend why you were given this nickname. I am sorry that I called you like that before, I I really don't have any malicious intentions to mock you! It's just because I don't know..."

Aki spoke very cautiously, because after learning about Kageyama's experience, she didn't know what his definition of "teammate" was now, and whether there would be some changes.

Having gone to a few volleyball matches with her friends, she only knows that this is a complicated team sport. Like the self-centered "dictator" in front of her, she was not surprised by the result of being abandoned by her teammates.

When I first learned the truth, there was neither disgust nor sympathy.

"You know?" Yingshan stopped in the stairwell, with his back turned to her and his head bowed, unable to see his expression clearly.

"Yeah." She also stopped, "So I want to ask... Will you still treat your current teammates like that?"

"No, I don't know..." His tone was very tangled.

"The strongest comrade in arms"?

Of course I don't want to lose again.

There was no movement in Yingshan, only obsession remained in his eyes.

"Okay." Yaji felt that he probably asked a superfluous question, so he passed him and continued to climb, "Then you go on~ If there is a game in your volleyball club, I really want to go and see it."

"it is good."

He replied firmly, but blushed the moment he raised his head, and steam began to emerge from the overheated top of his head.

Aki doesn't wear her school uniform jacket around her waist now, so under that modified short skirt, above the "absolute territory" wrapped in knee high socks——

(Black... lace.)

Does she have any self-consciousness as a girl? !

Rao is a male high school student like Kageyama, who is like a wood to the opposite sex, the impact of the scene just now is enough for him to react.

He decided never to follow her up the stairs again.

"Your skirt is too short." After returning to the classroom, he muttered with a blushing face.

"Oh." Yaji has become accustomed to this kind of evaluation, without changing his face and heartbeat, "Did you see it just now?"

"Yes...no!" Nodding and shaking his head.

"Is there any?" She raised her eyebrows, looking up from the horror comics that her friend Amway gave her.

"No." Kageyama decided to lie to himself.

"It's not a good boy to lie." The pretense was too pretentious, and she could see through it at a glance.

"...Anyway, it's your own problem."

"Yes, so I won't be angry with you~" Yaji smiled while holding his head, "You don't have to think about taking responsibility."

"That's good."

"...Do you really want to?!"
