"Haikyuu: A Twin's Choice"

15- 3V3

Daichi then directed his gaze toward Sora and said, "Sora-San, you'll be joining Tsukishima's team."

This decision piqued Sora's interest. In the manga, Daichi had joined their team, but it seemed that Sora's presence had altered the course of events.

Shoyo was taken aback and felt a sense of worry wash over him. He knew that Sora was exceptionally skilled as a libero and setter. What's more, both Sora and Shoyo had been diligently practicing the quick attack technique with Coach Ukai.

"But... he's my brother!" Shoyo protested a hint of desperation in his voice. "Surely there's some kind of exception to this rule, right?"

Sora offered a gentle smile and affectionately patted Shoyo on the head. "Sho," he said softly, "I can't always be by your side in volleyball, you know."

Sora's gaze then shifted towards Kageyama, who caught his eye. "Besides," Sora continued, "Kageyama is a fantastic setter... but he can be a bit challenging to work with."

A vein visibly throbbed on Kageyama's forehead upon hearing this remark. Despite Sora's previous apologies for his teasing, he couldn't resist the urge to tease Kageyama once again. But this time, the teasing was not meant to offend him in any way.

"Your brother has a point, Shoyo-San," Daichi chimed in, agreeing with Sora. "There will come a time when the two of you will have to part ways."

Shoyo couldn't help but pout and let out a sigh. "I suppose you're right," he conceded.

Daichi then offered some reassurance. "But don't worry," he said with a reassuring smile, "Tanaka is a stronger attacker than me. Although I won't take it easy on you."

"Ahem!" Tsukishima cleared his throat again, this time turning to Daichi with a hand covering his mouth. He whispered loudly, "So, who do you think I should try to pin down first?"

Tsukishima's comment had indeed triggered reactions from both Shoyo and Tanaka.

Meanwhile, Sora seized the moment to indulge in some entertainment of his own. He whipped out a massive bag of popcorn, clearly prepared to enjoy the show.

Tsukishima, unabashed by the attention, continued his commentary. "That's right. I can't wait to see the King dethroned," he mused.

However, Yamaguchi quickly reminded him, "Hey, Tsukki, they can hear you."

Tsukishima didn't seem to mind and replied with a sly smile, "I meant to be overheard."

He then fixed his gaze on Kageyama's back, ready to share more of his thoughts. "I hope they lose the-"

MUNCH!

But before Tsukishima could finish his sentence, a distinct "MUNCH!" sound cut through the air. It wasn't just Tsukishima who noticed; Daichi and Yamaguchi also turned their attention to the source of the munching sound.

To their astonishment, they found Sora nonchalantly holding a massive bag of popcorn and indulging in it, as if he were at a movie theater.

Sora raised an eyebrow when their gazes fell on him. "What?" he then took another leisurely bite of popcorn.

Sora, who knew about Tsukishima's relentless assaults on Kageyama, decided to bring popcorn and witness the drama unfold. Shoyo was not aware of this as Sora hid it perfectly in his bag.

With puzzled expressions, Tsukishima, Yamaguchi, and Daichi exchanged bewildered glances.  They had so many questions racing through their minds. Where did he get that popcorn? Who on earth would eat popcorn before a volleyball match?
