[Volleyball] Please, please give me a mole with tears and bright eyes!

Don't you think words like pingpang and midori sound nice like musical notes?

But in Japanese, the plain and descriptive word billiards is used to define ping pong.

Then Kong Wenlu gave herself the pronunciation of Qingcui in Japanese as her English name. Xin □□ at the age of 13, hoping to continue that pleasant joy in the new country.

Midori loves pingpang.

In just a blink of an eye, I reached the third year of high school in four years.

A lot happened along the way.

Transferred from Tsujido to Karasuno.

The mind is still there, with this liking, but as the masked ninja said, lost on the road of life.

When the sweaty Karasuno High School men's volleyball club started with daily classes, lunch break practice, after-school training, and weekend competitions, Kong Wenlu's life branch was not only doing homework during lunch break practice, but also It's no different.

When Sugawara sent a text message on Saturday, Kong Wenlu was finishing five sets of leg muscle stretching exercises between drinking water and resting.

"Good afternoon, the weather is fine and the sunset is beautiful too. Did Kong Sang go to the Civic Gymnasium today?" ...

The corner of Kong Wenlu's mouth couldn't stop smiling, even if the archangel was just saying politely, he was still very happy to remember that he said that he would go to the Citizen's Gymnasium on weekends.She then looked down.

...Kageyama Hinata cooperated with a very powerful spike in the agreed game and won 2-0!The first graders got the team uniforms, and everyone joined the team smoothly *^_^* Then we will play a practice match with Aoba Josai, the top four in the prefecture, next Tuesday. I am looking forward to the combat effectiveness of this new combination. Siri is verified. 』

……Eh?Kong Wenlu couldn't laugh anymore, could it be what she thought?Even if there is a conflict of positions, the first-year juniors are very powerful, it won't matter, right? !what happened?She almost instinctively blamed the person in charge of arranging the game personnel.But...Kong Wenlu exhaled, it's better to be sure.Typing fast...

"Although it's a bit presumptuous...is it convenient to call you now? 』

Half a minute later, there was no reply to the text message, but a phone call actually came, and Zhai Lu trembled in shock—the dumbbell in his left hand swung to the soft cushion on the ground in an arc, and he clicked on the connection carefully, Zhai Lu was so excited that today was a worthwhile trip. commemorative day.

"It's the first time I'm calling, am I taking the liberty?" In that clear laughing voice, Takumi could almost imagine Sugawara Momoe's tear mole just shining on the extension line of the corner of his smiling eye.

"How, how come!" Kong Wenlu stuttered at the beginning and wanted to bite her tongue! "I'm very happy! Well, I didn't go to the Citizens' Gymnasium today, but I also watched the sunset while exercising by myself..." Kong Wenlu looked at the sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the training room and saw the colorful clouds in the sky. If Sugawara hadn't said that he really didn't notice.

"Also, Suga, before... you said that the group of juniors finally had a practice match with a strong school... Well, aren't you going to play?" Finally asked out of anxiety.Obviously Sugawara is the right choice, and there is no reason to let the first-year juniors start from the beginning.

Sitting at the desk with the exercise set spread out, listening to the other party's obviously worried voice, Takashi Sugawara touched the potted asparagus next to the computer with his fingertips, and his heart was very calm.

"Well, the opponent asked Kageyama to play the whole game. Aoba Castle West is the school where most of Kageyama's junior high school teammates go. I probably want to see how far he has grown. Kageyama has very good qualifications as a setter. Although he was a bit independent before, but The love for volleyball is very pure, and now the tacit understanding is slowly being cultivated..." Sugawara paused, looking far away, and frowning with a slight helplessness, "For the crow that needs to be revived, he is necessary, for this reason I'm probably going to take a backseat to the second line... Ah, I'm sorry to say so much, I hope it doesn't bother you."

"Sugawara——" Kong Wenlu took a deep breath, and called her sweetheart's name word by word "—as long as you are willing to tell me, it will never be an annoyance. I am not a member of the volleyball club. There are not so many professional accomplishments in this sport. As your friend, I just want to say that your feelings will always come first. I have seen you train so hard since the second year of high school, and I am looking forward to it because you do your best for the volleyball club. The Karasuno men's volleyball team has regained its strength, but if it is the other way around and you are relegated to the second line in order to become stronger, I will... be very sad." Sugawara, you are the starting point for Aiwujiwu.

"... Modori."

"Huh? Uh, uh, uh, I'm here!" Zhai Lu's ears were itchy, isn't the atmosphere right?What about student Kong?

"Thank you...Actually...After seeing Kageyama's match as a genius, I was terrified, and then I realized that it is such a terrible thing to lose my position. I am not reconciled to my uselessness, are you? If I were stronger, like Kageyama, or even half of the strength would be good, it wouldn't happen that Asahi would cast a shadow on the game because of too much reliance on the main attacker, and it wouldn't make Nishitani leave... But in the end, I figured it out ——If and assuming these thoughts of not acknowledging the original self, they are walking backwards, avoiding to face the path I should take. I think you should understand..." I once saw her sweating profusely, swinging her racket like Invincible with a sword.Sugawara, who also knew about Kong Wenlu's daily professional-level training, subconsciously felt that this person would understand the experience of bloody stripping out of his body what he really wanted for a certain sport.

"Because I like volleyball, standing on the court with everyone gives me the greatest joy, so I also have the responsibility to make the volleyball club go further. Not only victory, but also many more games .Being able to experience it with everyone, making sure this is the most important thing, then other things, whether it is the position of the main election or the transformation of personal positioning, can be adjusted-this year is the last year, I want to be with you for a longer time Possibility on a court." Sugawara swore solemnly into the phone.

"..."

Kong Wenlu was silent for a long time, and the weight in the other party's voice passed through the radio waves, almost conveying a sincere heart of love to her, how familiar she is!The same is true of the love flowing in my heart that is gray in my chest.

Takae Sugawara likes volleyball.

Just like Kong Wenlu likes table tennis.

But I am not as strong as him, but I... still hide in my own shell to escape.

Transferred to Karasuno, chose a high school without a table tennis club...

Whether it's manga, animation, or music, how lucky I am to meet someone I like and make friends whom I can chat with...

But in the end, something was missing.

Nice, light, pingpang...

She doesn't have a partner on the net, how afraid to come out of her shell and face her favorite sport, but the court is like a lonely battlefield.

"You...you are really strong...I want to learn from you." Kong Wenlu sniffed and pressed his hot eyes. "I understand how you feel, but I'm cowardly and keep avoiding. Have I ever told you that I like table tennis very much... Ah, can I talk about myself."

"All ears." The calm and pleasant voice, although the love has not been expressed yet, but the homogeneous love for something in the shell connects the two at this moment.

Crow's dome of night, gently caged.

☆, extra episode 1 Sugawara's perspective

A tall Chinese girl with good Japanese but with a lazy soft tone.With a calm temperament mixed with fierceness, it doesn't look easy to get along with.

The above are all the first impressions of Takashi Sugawara on Kong Wenlu.

At the beginning of the second grade, the men's volleyball club was half-trained under the return of the prestigious coach Wu Yang. At that time, the daily life was full of the vision of the revival of the volleyball club and the exhausting training. I should have no energy to deal with a Transfer Students.

Until one day, after homework was over, he returned to the classroom to pick up the textbooks he had forgotten. In the twilight classroom, the student on duty that day was holding a comic in his mouth and muttering something, while the other hand was holding a grip Click.

Manga nerd?Sports maniac? ?

That scene was too strange Sugawara froze at the door of the classroom for a moment.

It was the transfer student who reacted first, got stuck for a while, quickly picked up his schoolbag, said "excuse me" and ran out of the classroom.

Biting his lips, blushing and red ears passing by his side, bringing a gust of wind.

It's completely different from the aloof appearance introduced on the podium.

Out of curiosity, I looked up the manga, which tells a school story about a heroine who has a communication disorder and joins a drama club in order to make friends.

... Are you struggling to make friends?

Since then, Sugawara has become more curious about transfer students.

Anime lovers, the ringtone is the theme song of the hit Magical Girl animation.

The sportsmanship was good, and he easily carried the female classmate Princess, who was unwell and fainted, to the infirmary.

The mind is also good, except for subjects such as Chinese history and Japanese culture that are too heavy, other subjects are among the best in the basic class, and English will always hit full marks.

Communication barriers are also beyond imagination. Before Kong Wenlu, Takashi Sugawara had never seen a classmate who could speak the words of daily communication so bluntly and with such an oppressive force.Afterwards, I couldn't find a chance to interrupt, and looked at the small group of girls chattering with envious little eyes on their paralyzed expressions.

Sugawara raised his hand and pressed his mouth, grinning.

Well, he was a little taken aback by the contrast.

Then give her a hand, Daimao jumped up happily.

Originally, he had a good background, but he quickly integrated into the class later on. With good friends, he often got together with Dao Gong from Class [-] during lunch breaks, and sometimes went to the cafeteria with him and Da Di for lunch.

Because of my easy work, I have an extra friend who appreciates his super hot hobby, which is pretty good.

So it's summer vacation.

With the another tragic defeat of Karasuno High School Men's Volleyball Team in the county competition.

There are companions who quit the club because they couldn't stand the harsh training, there are juniors who don't know what to do, and there are seniors who can't get enough energy to get by.

The atmosphere in the gym grabbed Sugawara's throat, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

The crow fell and its wings broke.

Can't make a sigh.

Sugawara can only bury his head and continue the training menu that can drain his energy.

Sweat evaporated from all the pores, waded across the cheeks, dripped down the chin, dripped on the road, and immediately evaporated in the high temperature.Running without a clear purpose, with iron on his knees and an empty heart.Run to the limit in the hot sun.

It was at that time that I saw his contrasting and cute Chinese classmate again.

The terrain of Karasuno Town is mainly hilly.

The devil trained in the summer vacation to run circles around the town and ran to a high place with a good view, and it looked very cool. The three-story green-roofed houses surrounded by green plants on the balcony were easy to catch the eye.

There is also a favorability bonus for growing Chaotian peppers.

In the whole floor-to-ceiling windows, the tall girl with ponytail was sweating profusely in the air-conditioned space, swinging her racket like a sword at the ball machine that Sugawara had only seen on TV.

He was neither paralyzed and calm, nor cold and sharp.

——It is the joy of being single-minded.

With a smile and with all your heart, day after day.

Kong, Wen, Green.

Takae Sugawara said the name silently once.Made a small sound and read it again.

This person also loves and persists.

It was moving and shocking, as if there was a companion on the road, or a more tenacious navigation than myself.

Suddenly I was able to face the court calmly again.
