Chapter 168: Final Battle! The Foxes of Inarizaki's Spring High...

The last day of Harukaka was much more lively than when they first arrived. Ichiro looked at the match schedule of each team, which only appeared in his memory. Now the names of "Shiratorizawa" and "Inarizaki" were drawn with heavy black lines extending all the way to the 6th, and finally stopped below.

January 6th is the last day of the Spring High School competition, which is also the time for the finals.

Of course, he was not the only one from Kanagawa who came to watch the game this time. The distance between Kanagawa Prefecture and Tokyo was not very far. After he asked in the volleyball club's group chat, Zenitsu almost couldn't wait to agree. I guess he was trained very well by his brother.

As for Tanjiro, he declined due to matters concerning his family's bakery, saying that he would watch the broadcast while running the shop. Finally, the other third-year seniors were unable to attend due to reasons such as graduation and preparing for exams. In the end, only he, Xuanya, Zenitsu, and Kamiyabe, who seemed to be free for some reason, came.

They didn't arrive early, but they didn't know if they were lucky or what but they managed to find a few empty seats in the front row. Although they were sitting interspersed, the people around them seemed to be from the school in Tokyo.

Ichiro thought for a moment before hesitantly greeting the pudding-haired boy sitting next to him. "...You're from Nekoma's team, right? I'm Kanagawa's top libero."

The person being greeted shuddered for a moment before responding, "Hello."

He hesitated for a few seconds: "Senior Yejiu mentioned you."

Hearing this, Zenitsu couldn't help but tilt his head to see if something had happened.

He and Xuanya sat in the front row in front of Ichiro, and there was another person between them, Kamiyabe - besides Mamoru, there was also a man with a familiar cockscomb haircut on Otokoma. Seeing Zenitsu in the front row looking back frequently, the man with the cockscomb haircut smiled what he thought was a kind smile, and then successfully made Kanagawa's top outside hitter as quiet as a chicken.

Zenitsu's face was full of horror: This person's smile is so scary!

The main attacker Xuan Mi looked confused.

Yuichiro was not the kind of person who didn't understand the atmosphere. He probably realized that his behavior made people a little nervous, so he nodded and didn't say anything else.

The quiet atmosphere only eased slightly after both players entered the court for official warm-ups. Kenshiro Shinichi didn't rush to get used to his technique immediately after entering the court. Instead, he went straight to the center line to talk to Inarizaki's setter. The other players usually ignored him at times like this. Kenshiro's thoughts were sometimes hard to understand, though he'd been adjusting recently...

However, Baibu, who was passing the ball to the remaining attackers, thought about it and realized that Jiancheng had not yet gotten rid of his wild imagination most of the time. He seemed to want to be down-to-earth, but his personality made him float like a balloon held in a child's hand.

After a few seconds, he shook the description out of his mind and said to Ohira Shion, who was watching him prepare to run and jump, "Take your time."

Whether it is the competition or Jiancheng, Shiratorizawa will adapt anyway. They are only in the first grade, and there are at least two years left for Jiancheng to grow.

Shirabu always does a good job in this regard, and honestly, even though Kenjo always causes trouble for him and others, there are very few people in Shiratorizawa who truly hate each other.

It's normal for geniuses to have a bit of temper. What's more, Jiancheng is not difficult to get along with in the conventional sense. He is probably just... a bit stupid when it comes to dealing with people. After meeting Jiancheng, Baibu realized that the saying was actually true, that God always charges a certain price for what he gives to people.

Ohira, who was halfway through his run-up, was stunned for a moment, then stepped back and prepared to repeat the action. "Oh, okay." He responded slowly - it was still a little strange that Kenjiro would say such almost comforting words.

*

The farmer did not take the initiative to talk to the people of Inarizaki. He was accidentally distracted while practicing his touch and passing the ball. Then he let out an "ah" to himself. The volleyball in his hand rolled to the ground and finally touched the railing at the center line. The farmer reached out to pick up the ball.

He actually has a very sharp appearance, so when he doesn't smile, people find him difficult to approach. When he smiles, the aura around him makes strangers occasionally think he is a bit frivolous. But in the final analysis, when people try hard to do a small thing, they will appear not very smart. Because the volleyball rolled a long distance, Jiancheng didn't really want to cross the court - God knows how long Coach Jiujiang would nag him if he thought he was not doing his job.

The farmer doesn't want to be nagged.

So he squatted down and reached for the ball little by little. This action, as expected, looked a bit idiotic. If I had to describe it, it was like a primary school student concentrating on digging sand in the park.

But on Shiratorizawa's side, apart from Tendo staring at him with an unexpectedly slightly "loving" expression, even Shirabu seemed to have gotten used to Kenjo Shinichi's eccentricity. After a brief glance, he continued to pass the ball to the senior beside him.

Inarizaki was a little confused, and Miya You even heard Ginjima asking something like "What kind of ritual is this?"

How could this be a ritual, Gong Youxin thought, this is a normal world.

After thinking for a while, Inarizaki's setter walked over, put one hand on the railing, and looked at Kenjo Shinichi's somewhat silly head through the net.

Jiancheng didn't seem to notice him. His face, which looked very smart when playing volleyball, now showed a guilty look and a little relief. Although he pursed his lips, Gong You unexpectedly felt that he seemed to be in a good mood.

He was obviously very happy doing a small thing like catching the ball, and was completely immersed in his own world. He suddenly remembered that when he was in the national youth team, the other party treated Sakuhaya's behavior of annoying him as a game. He wanted to laugh, but held it back.

What? Gong Youxin thought, Shiratorizawa is a bit like a kindergarten teacher.

A group of people surrounded Jiancheng, an energetic child. Should they give him candy and sticks together? Although it is estimated that in the eyes of this setter, they are all so-called "candies"

Seeing that Jiancheng was finally leaving without even looking at him, the smile on Gong You's face froze for a moment.

Is this guy really an idiot? He secretly complained.

"Nobuichi-kun."

Gong You called him with a half-smile on his face. He really looked a bit like a "fox", although the farmer had always thought that he looked like a small dog fish that could squeak. Who said that a dog couldn't become the king of fish?

The reason for this strange idea was that the night before, Supervisor Washi Takumi said that the people in Inarizaki were all cunning foxes. A strange image with a fox head and a fish body appeared in the farmer's mind at that time, and then it turned into a fish head and a fox body. No matter which one looked strange, it looked very strange.

The farmer was amused by his own fantasy. His eyes curved and he nodded, but his tone was completely different from his inner thoughts. "Hello."

Gong You: "You seem very happy."

The farmer was confused: "Really?"

Inarizaki's setter curled his lower lip, "Of course, it should be easy for an idiot to be happy."

Upon hearing this, Miyaji staggered and was helped by Kakuname. He thanked him and then his eyes were filled with "What the hell are you talking about?" and he turned his gaze to Miyayou in front of him who had a similar figure to him.

But it was obvious that his scumbag brother's verbal attacks could not bring the slightest anger to Shiratorizawa's setter. "Thank you," Kenjo Shinichi said inexplicably. "You seem very happy too. Do you think you will definitely win?"

Miyaji: ...

Miyaji and the Kakuname beside him were both amazed.

I didn't expect Kenjo Shinichi to be such a sharp-tongued person. It was really amazing. However, he was still very happy to see Gong You get humiliated. He poked Kakuname's arm and said, "It's a pity that I can't take pictures."

After all, Yu's expression right now can't just be described as "wonderful".

It's reached the level of a paint palette.

Gong You finally let out a "ha" sound, then gritted his teeth and said, "Of course," his expression was a little distorted, "Inarizaki will definitely win in the end."

He turned around and wanted to leave a little angrily, then found that the deputy attacker of Shiratorizawa with squinting eyes and a smile was walking towards him with his mouth covered, and asked Kenjo Shinichi what they had just talked about.

Jian Cheng was stunned, but what he said was really heartbreaking, "Yu is setting a flag."

Gong You: ...

Miyaji and Kakuna who were watching: ...

These words can no longer be described as sharp, Miyaji thought to himself, it was a completely harsh counterattack, saying that Miya Yu was a fish while also saying that Inarizaki would lose.

Great, Jiancheng.

Miyaji even suspected that the other party had been pretending to be stupid. After all, pretending to be stupid is really good sometimes and can avoid most conflicts.

Tendou had originally intended to come over to protect his setter from being bullied, but then he was shocked by the "flag theory" and choked. He coughed twice before laughing and patted his junior on the back, "Well done, Shinichi."

He felt a little sorry for Gong Yoo, but it was still funny to see his opponent getting angry after failing to provoke him.

Gong You's expression was very ugly. "I'll teach you a lesson later."

He didn't even call Xin Yijun anymore.

If the mood value could be displayed, there would probably be a continuous dark cloud with lightning above Gong You's head.

"Roli's back from drawing lots." The captain had just gone to the referee to choose a coin to draw lots. Yamagata walked over to Tendo and Kenjo with the ball and said in a calm tone, "We'll be the last to start."

Inarizaki chose to start first.

Yamagata subconsciously looked in the direction of Inarizaki. They were surrounding their captain, and there was a faint aura of support. It must be said that this kind of momentum of a strong team was still very scary, but they in Shiratorizawa were not weak either.

No matter whether it was a fox or any other land creature, the final outcome of encountering a raptor would definitely not be very good. Thinking of this, Yamagata greeted it twice.

"Let's go, the coach is ready for the final pre-match instructions."

After Yamagata finished speaking, Tendou patted Kenjo Shinichi on the back and bent his mouth, "Let's go," his tone was light, "Our Shinichi will also lead us to the podium this time."

The author has something to say: 20 red envelopes will be distributed in this chapter, and the first 20 will still be distributed. Because the comments feedback that the farmer’s role has been weakened, the farmer’s role will be appropriately increased in the final battle (actually it is mainly due to my writing skills OTZ) (I hope you don’t think I am dragging down the original characters) (kneel down) (Suggestions in a gentle tone are very welcome) (kneel down) (Everyone can see that I am a coward along the way) (A question mark will keep this person awake all night) (I am very sorry ORZ)
