...The game continues.
serving the ball on Aotori's head and allowing Goshiki to take away some kind of buff. His service then went over the opponent's player's head.
In the following games, Itachiyama played very actively, and the opponent won several points in one fell swoop. Even except for Sakusa, other players also took this opportunity to shine.
But the same goes for Goshiki. It seems that after accidentally injuring Kobayashi Aotori, his mentality seemed to be corrected little by little in the subsequent games. Several spikes were also fast, accurate and hard, and he steadily won the points.
--Even until the end of this game, he still didn't dare to look into Aotori's eyes.
So, with a whistle, Itachiyama won the first game. The cheerleaders immediately cheered, and the players from both sides slowly left the field.
Even though Kobayashi Aotori said it was okay, Goshiki still walked off the court cautiously. As expected, he was severely criticized by coach Washijo and asked to correct his attitude in the next game.
It is possible that it was the familiar criticism from Coach Washijo that gave Goshiki the illusion that he was in the daily training on Shiratorizawa. He was surprisingly less nervous.
However, the apology is still indispensable.
He moved step by step in front of the Aotori. When the Aotori was still drinking water, like a blushing quail, he carefully moved to the side step by step, secretly watching the other person's expression.
"Aotori-san I'm very sorry! I was on the court just now..."
"okay."
Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice sounded, causing Goshiki, who was bowing at ninety degrees, to pause and stupidly raise his head. What he saw was Kobayashi Aotori, who was looking down and changing the bandage, and said:
"Come on for the game soon."
Goshiki's movements stopped for a few seconds. Ohira next to him breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment he suddenly leaned back--
Just because Goshiki's blank expression turned into egg-shaped eyes in the next moment, he looked at Aotori with a moved face, and his voice was slightly choked coquettishly:
"...Aotori..."
A tall man who is over 1.8 meters tall should not make such an expression!!
Tendo, who was holding his chin with one hand, looked at the extremely moved Goshiki with a smile, and walked back with an extremely confident expression on his face, with an ambitious expression on his face.
Well, in a sense, Aotori-chan seems like a strong senior~! He will be a very good senior in the future!
Ushijima just glanced at Goshiki calmly, as if he didn't understand the source of his move. After staring for a few seconds, he looked at Goshiki who suddenly regained his fighting spirit, and slowly turned his head back.
Although I don't understand it very well, it's okay if nothing happens.
Aotori also breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, the pain in the back of the head can't be compared with Sakusa or Kiryu spike.
Although it was a bit embarrassing to be hit on the head by a volleyball in the finals of the national competition, he felt that compared to himself who was hit, Goshiki who served the ball were under the greatest pressure.
Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any extreme reaction.
Everyone in Shiratorizawa also sighed in their hearts:
Fortunately, Kobayashi Aotori didn't have any extreme reaction.
----
The second game begins.
As expected, Goseki lived up to his awakening before the game. Several of his consecutive spike and a super slash ball directly passed Komori Motoya's hand.
"Oh!!" He cheered excitedly and excitedly turned his head to look at Aotori who was standing aside, his bright eyes seemed like waiting for praise...
It was like the way he took credit for picking up the branches he threw when he was walking his dog in his previous life.
Aotori coughed lightly, mentally apologizing to Goshiki for his rude association, and then silently gave him a thumbs up under the other's expectant gaze.
Tendoon the side felt a little helpless in his smile. What kind of elder-style compliment was this? Eh- It was particularly useful?!
Looking at Goshiki, who was instantly excited, Shirabu beside him couldn't help but have his fish eyes.
He was really afraid that Goshiki would have to count the money if he was sold.
However, no matter how good Goshiki's condition is, Shiratorizawa's strength cannot be greatly improved by one person alone.
Sakusa's attack is still fierce, and Motoya Komori's receive is still steady.
As for Kobayashi Aotori, who was rotated to the front row, he naturally did not have the freedom to move freely as a libero in the back row. As a result, Yamagata Hayato could sometimes catch the volleyball, and sometimes he couldn't help but let the volleyball fly past the outside of his arm.
He can only say that it is worthy of Itachiyama.
The two playing styles, centred on Ushijima and Sakusa, soon turned into a heavy artillery confrontation between the two ace players.
Although it may seem easy to outsiders both of them have to work hard to ensure that the gap in scores does not widen.
"Bang--!!"
Sakusa stared deeply at the slightly narrowed eyes of Kobayashi Aotori opposite him. He suddenly waved his arm and made a soft hit. Under Kobayashi Aotori's slightly surprised gaze, the volleyball turned sharply and bounced from his fingertips. After a moment--!
Commentator: (Sakusa's move passed the block of Kobayashi Aotori... No! Not at all! Because Tendou Satoru is still there!)
Tendo kicked the ball sideways, and the volleyball that was flying towards the centre of the court was instantly picked up!
"Hey? Can I change my career to playing football?" Tendo stood aside with a smile. Aotori glanced at him after hearing this.
No, you are a chocolate pastry chef.
...It is a profession that many people only dare to look at from a distance and dare not approach.
Why? Because people are obsessed with chocolate at first, and as the love increases layer by layer, this kind of love will turn from love to hate.
Don't ask him how he knew.
Thoughts were racing in his mind, but his eyes never left the volleyball.
The volleyball flew high to the back row, and Ohira suddenly jumped high!
Smash the ball directly from the back row!
"Bang--!"
The volleyball made a loud bang, and then with incredible steam, it rushed straight towards the court of Itachiyama-
Passing through numerous figures, he finally landed heavily on the court.
Komori also showed a frightened expression and even patted his chest. Unfortunately, no one watched his performance, only Sakusa showed a look of disgust.
Time passed little by little, and as the sneakers made a scraping sound on the court, there were also beads of sweat dripping from the teenagers as they burned.
--Sakusa's mortal enemy.
However, the scoreboard is also changing a little bit. Compared with the first game, Shiratorizawa in the second game is more combat-effective. Perhaps it is because of the increase in the attack power of Goshiki, or perhaps because Kobayashi Aotori is not only in the rear Instead of catching the ball, he also actively blocked the ball in the front row with Tendou Kaku.
In short, the current score is 23:21.
According to the current scoring pattern, Shiratorizawa seems to be better than Itachiyama to reach the match point in the second game.
--And what a coincidence, it was Kobayashi serving again.
Komori looked serious, staring intently at Kobayashi Aotori in front of him.
Understandably, Kobayashi Aotori's serve is changeable, but he can also attack like a cannon. In the video of Inarizaki's match, he saw the opponent's thunderous first ball.
To be honest, he couldn't catch that ball.
Even if the ball is caught by force, the volleyball will veer off course and cannot be recovered.
In this game, except for Aotori's serve was the first to lure him, he has not yet received the opponent's serve in a 1V1 head-on.
The volleyballs were so full of tricks that it was impossible to tell the direction and strength, but it wasn't completely impossible to tell.
When the ball almost is an out-of-bounds ball, the observation time is enough, but this is impossible.
Tactics are something that is never easily used a second time.
So...what will this ball be like?
Komori arched his body slightly, with a complex expression of expectation and anxiety on his face, and his eyes were burning with a fierce fighting spirit.
Everyone in Itachiyama was prepared, including Sakusa, who always had a cold expression. At this moment, he also frowned slightly, just because the man standing in front of him was holding a volleyball in his hand.
So, under the focused gazes of the opposing players, Kobayashi Aotori slowly threw up the volleyball in his hand. While his brain was running at high speed, as always, bits and pieces of his previous life training alone until dark emerged--
Suddenly, this familiar influence was broken. He was slightly stunned, and the images in his mind were rapidly changing--
The originally empty training court turned into a noisy Shiratorizawa volleyball club with constant cheers and laughs; the figure that originally stood alone picking up a ball turned into countless people sweating together and training tirelessly. what was originally a boring solitary life has turned into a joyful daily life of encountering various NPCs after meals;
The originally silent competition stadium has become a lively place where he dares to play bravely and no longer do nothing; the background character players who were originally ignored and avoided by everyone have now become star player who will be stopped and encouraged by fans.
Kobayashi Aotori suddenly realized.
It turns out that it is different from the previous life.
This time, he has companions, good friends, motivation to fight, and supportive friends.
He doesn't need to recall the training experience in his previous life again and again, just because of his experience in this life--
Much more colourful.
At the moment when his thoughts suddenly became clear, the dome of the volleyball stadium in front of him suddenly broke. In Kobayashi Aotori'seyes, the volleyball was rising rapidly, as if it contained a sense of joy and fearlessness to reach the sky.
"Bang--!!"
A loud noise shook the venue, shook heaven and earth, and hit everyone's heart.
After smashing open the crack that had been crumbling for some time, the sunlight slanted in little by little and finally filled the world.
While countless viewers and fans, or friends and companions, were desperately trying to absorb the confidence exuded by this service. Kobayashi Aotori also suddenly discovered that he had confidence.
He is not alone.
There are more than a dozen good things surrounding him, and Kobayashi Aotori--
In fact, he don't really like to look around.
