Chapter 59 Volleyball 19

“……?!”

When she looked up and saw someone in the tree, Kurikawa Sana was also stunned.

The young man on the cherry tree was tall, and even the light grey suit uniform from the Xiaogu Academy tailoring board on him couldn't hide his obviously muscular figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist.

The boy has a very special black and white gradient upturned hairstyle, which fully reveals his iconic thick eyebrows, big eyes and handsome and deep facial features.

With his unique pair of brown vertical pupils and magical hairstyle, he looks like some kind of Strix bird.

In a moment, Kurikawa Sana felt that she saw an owl wearing a suit standing on the tree, and it was a very handsome owl.

——It’s Koutarou Koutarou.

One of Tokyo Owl Valley Academy's potential targets and a top five ace spiker ranked in the country.

Kurikawa Sana was very sure that she had met Katsuki's eyes, but for some reason, the boy's expression looked full of surprise.

In the end, Koutarou Kyoto suddenly jumped down from the tree of incredible height without any hesitation.

Kurikawa Sana: "..."

what happened?

However, her shock was only in her heart, and she didn't show it on her face at all. If a scene that was almost successfully shot in one take had to be retaken because of her, it would be troublesome.

Kurikawa Sana's eyes and expression remained gentle. She looked up at the sky, her voice slowed and she whispered, "I never punish myself for the mistakes of others. I love this sky, and I love every breath of air I can breathe with all my might. Birds—aside from life and death, nothing else matters."

"Fei Niao" is the name of the heroine of this drama.

The young actress who played the heroine Asuka in her student days stared at her blankly, with a complex expression on her face. Finally, her eyes gradually became firm, and she could only see her in her eyes.

“Cut——”

The director called for a stop, and everyone relaxed. The crew glanced at each other in surprise, seeing both delight and astonishment in their colleagues' eyes. They were surprised to be done with work so soon, and also amazed that a young model, new to the entertainment industry, could possess such superb acting skills.

"Sana, you are very talented. If you have time, I hope to have the opportunity to work with you in the film industry."

Hearing the director's words, the other staff members around were stunned. This director was a well-known genius in the industry, with amazing talent but a strange personality. This was the first time they saw him praising new actors so generously.

Kurikawa Sana was also a little surprised and was surprised to receive such high praise.

Another reason she accepted the role without hesitation was that the character, Hoshimi Mari, was like herself, frail and sickly, her greatest wish being to survive. Perhaps this was also the reason she was able to get into the role so quickly and received praise for her acting, because she truly understood the character.

If given the opportunity, she will work harder to improve her acting skills and try more roles.

She smiled and said, "Thank you, director. I hope we can work together again."

In the evening, at the gate of Xiaogu campus, a group of young boys and girls wearing Xiaogu volleyball club sportswear were walking side by side on the road, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.

"It's strange that Kyuuba took the initiative to end the club work so early today. That's not like you."

"That's right, doesn't Kuroo always drag everyone to practice spiking until very late?"

The two female managers of Xiaogu, Baifu Xuehui and Suta Xun, complained.

Akaashi Kyoji calmly answered the question: "Because Bokuto-senpai jumped from a three-meter-high tree today, for the sake of his ankle, he decided to take a break for today."

"Hey, jumping out of a tree? Why?"

Akaashi Kyoji: "I climbed up a tree to watch the filming, but for some reason I jumped down again very quickly."

Koutarou raised his voice, "Ah Akaashi—why did you explode me again!"

"Oh? Could it be that Kuroo is also going to see that beautiful girl model?" Konoha Akihiro, who is also the main attacker of the Owl Valley team, patted Kuroo's shoulder with a wicked smile.

The free man, Haruki Komi, couldn't help but ask curiously, "How was it? Did you finally see Sana-chan after climbing so high? I heard she's really beautiful!"

Upon hearing this, Koutarou Koutarou suddenly stopped.

“……?”

The others in the team were also stunned for a moment, turning back to look at their ace, "Kurobuchi?"

The boy's expression suddenly became very serious, "Beautiful..."

Everyone held their breath, their curiosity reaching its highest point, waiting for what Kuroo would say next.

Kyoji Akaashi couldn't help but feel a little surprised. Kurooshi-senpai's current behavior was not included in the Kurooshi-senpai's ecological manual that he had mastered so far.

Under everyone's surprised and curious gaze, Koutarou raised his head with the classic beady-eyed expression on his face: "How do you write the word 'beautiful'?"

Everyone: “…”

Kotaro Bokuto's tone was really full of confusion: "Should I use Kirei (きれい), Meiしい (うつくしい), Mingshi (みごと) or Soru (すてき)?"

Everyone: “………………”

After a brief silence, the team members fell back one after another!

"Sure enough, I shouldn't have expected Kuroo to reveal any valuable information!"

"I can't stand it anymore, someone come and save his Guowen!"

“………”

Only Akaashi Kyoji still had a thoughtful look on his face. He keenly noticed something wrong with Kuroo. A hint of doubt flashed across the boy's dark eyes.

Another main attacker in the team, Yamato Saruki, said: "I have seen her, Sana-chan, she is really very beautiful."

Konoha Akiji was pleasantly surprised. "Really? That's great. I heard she'll be filming for another three days. I wonder if I can still see her."

Off-spinner Oonaga Wataru said, "There should be a chance. No, now we should be thinking about what to eat. It's a rare volleyball club dinner, and I didn't eat much at lunch in anticipation of this. I'm starving."

Manager Bai Fuxuehui pointed to a nearby barbecue restaurant and said, "How about going there? It's a new restaurant near our school. Their opening promotion is a big eater challenge. If you eat the most that day, you can get a free meal."

Koutarou Bokuto's eyes disappeared in a second, and he regained his spirits. "Really? I can get a free meal as long as I complete the big eater challenge?!"

Bai Fuxuehui nodded, "Do you want to go? Birds of prey."

"Go, go, go! Let's go together!!!"

…

When the members of Xiaogu team entered the barbecue restaurant, they first smelled the aroma of barbecue, and then their attention was quickly attracted by the black-haired girl sitting in the middle of the restaurant and the large pile of plates in front of her.

"Hey, if I'm not mistaken—" Muye Aki lowered his voice and said, "Isn't that Sana-chan?!"

Sarushi Yamato nodded and confirmed, "It's her, for sure, but it seems she took off her contact lenses, and her eyes have turned blue."

"As expected of a star, she's so beautiful..."

"But why is Sana-chan here? Did she come here to eat barbecue alone after filming at our school?"

"It looks like she's also doing a big eater challenge. Only the one who eats the most gets a free meal. Do we have to compete with Sana-chan?"

The team members were whispering, still undecided, but the next second they saw their ace, Kotaro Kitagi, walking towards the store manager with his head held high. "Hey hey hey—I want to challenge the big eater free meal event!"

The store manager nodded and said, "No problem, classmate. How many plates of barbecue would you like?"

Koutarou Kousagi: "Let's start with 16 plates!"

Everyone in Xiaogu: “…”

If they saw correctly, Sana-chan had 15 dishes in front of her, and their ace ordered 16 dishes, as if he was going to argue with the other person right from the start.

As expected, when Koutarou Koutarou finished speaking, the black-haired girl looked over with surprise. Her facial features were delicate and beautiful under the light, and she was incredibly beautiful.

When he saw the girl's face clearly for the first time, Akaashi Kyoji couldn't help but pause slightly as he walked into the store.

He seemed to understand a little bit why Kuroo-senpai jumped down from the tree today.

I also seemed to understand why Kuroo-senpai didn't know what words to use to describe her.

Whether it is "丽" (きれい), "美しい" (うつくしい), "见事" (みごと) or "素敵" (すてき), each word is so appropriate, yet it seems that there is still something missing, not enough to fully describe the beauty of the girl in front of us.

For Kuroo, whose Chinese language skills are almost poor, being able to think of so many words to describe beauty at once is already very impressive. This indirectly reflects that the girl in front of him has already inspired 90% of Kuroo's Chinese language ability.

...Wait, why did he have to think so much? Akaashi Kyoji couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

It must be due to his daily habit of analyzing Kuroo-senpai's ecology, Akaashi Kyoji was certain.

Soon, 16 plates of barbecue were served, and the 1.85-meter-tall and 78-kilogram male star, Kotaro Usagi, began his performance.

This is his favorite barbecue! There's no way this big eater can lose a challenge!

Then, under the curious gazes of the crowd—

Kotaro Katsuhiro fell in just the eighth game.

He was already full, and his eyes looked as if he had left his body, and he collapsed on the table.

"Pfft, pfft, hahahahahaha!" Konoha Akiji laughed so hard that he couldn't straighten his back, "This is too lame, Bokuto!"

Xiao Jianchunshu: "No, you can't do that. If you can't finish it, you have to pay the original price."

Akaashi Kyoji sighed, "Seniors, please be merciful. If Kuroo-senpai's negative pattern continues until tomorrow, I'll be very distressed."

Oonaga Wataru said with a serious expression, "Now is the time to send out our most powerful weapon—Bai Fu-san!"

The female manager, Bai Fuxuehui, nodded. "Boss, I'll take care of the remaining seven dishes, and add another ten. Is that okay?"

Store manager: "Of course, as long as you can finish it."

…

What happened next left Kurikawa Sana dumbfounded.

That's right, it was Kurikawa Sana who was eating barbecue alone here. Having just finished filming, she had dodged her agent's control and came to the nearest barbecue restaurant near the entrance of the Owl Valley campus to enjoy an indulgent meal. Unexpectedly, she ran into the members of the Owl Valley volleyball club who were also having dinner together.

Furthermore, she spotted another potential target from Owl Valley Academy—a black-haired boy named Akaashi Kyouji. He had a calm demeanor and didn't seem to have any emotional fluctuations.

After Kuroo fell, the one who started a new round of big eater challenge was Owl Valley's manager. She easily ate 17 plates of barbecue, directly breaking Kurikawa Sana's record.

The store manager turned to her and asked, "Customer, would you like to add more? If not, the winner of today's competitive eating contest will be the customer over there."

Kurikawa Sana quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, no need to add."

At the same moment she heard her answer, the boy next door, who had been slumped over on the table with small eyes, suddenly stood up and turned towards her, resurrecting with full health on the spot.

"Hey hey hey! I'll take care of your bill!" Koutarou patted his chest, a bright smile on his handsome face: "This battle was exciting!"

Kurikawa Sana looked up at him in surprise, "Excuse me, are you talking to me?"

The other people from Xiaogu Academy were also stunned and looked at each other in confusion.

Although it's not the first day I know that Kyuuba is an incredibly extroverted social terrorist, I'm still surprised by his actions every time...

And this guy, Mutu, is really rich! If there were no free meal promotion, 15 plates of barbecue would not be a small amount of money. Mutu just treated him!

Damn, I really envy this guy, he can actually talk to a popular model!

Koutarou crossed his arms and nodded, "Yes, I'm talking to you. Do you want to eat with us? Eating alone is the second level of loneliness!"

Kurikawa Sana: "Is it okay?"

"Of course!" Koutarou raised his hand and said to the store manager naturally: "Manager, please give us a private room——"

The store manager was overjoyed. "Okay! Please wait a moment, sir. I'll arrange it for you right away!"

Others in Xiaogu: “…”

It took them several seconds to regain their breathing rate.

This is too good, right?! Wooden Rabbit?!

Is this still the single-celled organism they know? !

Who is this guy who exudes the aura of a handsome, wealthy, and athletic Tokyo city boy? ! !
