Chapter 111 Volleyball 71
Half an hour ago.
Just before a piece of news swept the social media platform, all the members of the Inarizaki volleyball club were still having a party.
The party was held at the twins' home, with the theme of sending blessings to the third-year seniors in the volleyball club.
Inarizaki's spring high school this year has ended. After the last gathering today, the third-year seniors will no longer participate in club activities and will devote themselves to studying and preparing for the exams in their third year of high school.
The gloom of Harutaka's defeat to Karasuno seemed to have disappeared, and everyone in the volleyball club gathered together and raised their glasses to drink.
"I wish all the best to Senior Bei and all the third-year students!"
"I will definitely win the championship next year!"
"Before that, we have to defeat Karasuno at Inter High—"
Mixed in with his lofty ambitions was Akagi Michinari's sigh: "Oh, it would be nice if the manager were here too."
"Yeah, Kurikawa-san is the only one missing from the volleyball club's party... What a shame."
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, she's filming a movie."
As if suddenly remembering something, Gong You suddenly asked, "Do you think Sana-chan will still be our manager when we get promoted to the third grade?"
"Yes." Miyaji answered almost subconsciously.
Riishi Heisuke also nodded. "Osamu is right. Kurikawa-san has never given up her job as a manager, no matter how busy she is. I've urged her several times to take a break, but she's always insisted on coming to work."
"That's great... It's a pity that we didn't win the Spring High Championship and were eliminated in the quarterfinals." Oshiro Alan sighed.
"I miss the manager so much. It would be nice if Kurikawa was here too..." Ginjima Yui looked up at the sky and sighed.
As the topic shifted to someone, Kakuna Rintaro, who had been quietly drinking water, instinctively pulled out his phone. The moment it lit up, the home screen displayed a photo of the person at the center of the conversation.
Looking at the black-haired girl in the lock screen photo, a gentle light flashed in the boy's green eyes.
What is she doing now? She is probably filming a movie. I wonder what kind of role she will play this time.
If I remember correctly, it seemed to be a new subject matter and a genre that she had never tried before and broke through herself.
Thinking of this, Kakuna Rintaro curiously opened Twitter and wanted to search for information about Sana's new movie.
But as soon as he opened the software and saw the top trending topic on Twitter, the boy's green pupils suddenly contracted.
At the same time, with a "clang", the glass in Kakuname Rintaro's hand shattered, making a harsh sound!
The glass fragments shattered and rolled down in all directions, like rubble from the top of a cliff, reflecting a dazzling light under the light of the twins' living room.
Everyone was stunned.
Breaking a glass was not a strange thing, but what was strange was that Jiao Ming's whole body was shaking.
The muscles in his arms were bulging with veins, a look no one had ever seen before. This usually calm and lazy-looking actor had never been seen in such a posture before.
"Jiao Ming, what's wrong with you?"
Ignoring the questions of others, Kakuna Rintaro began to grope around in the living room with a pale face, looking eager to find something. Finally, he found the TV remote control and turned on the TV.
As soon as the TV was turned on, along with the shocking images that appeared, the voice of the midday news anchor appeared -
"Super popular artist Sana Kurikawa fell off a cliff in Tokyo Bay half an hour ago. Medical personnel have arrived and rushed her to the hospital. She is currently in critical condition. The cause of the incident is still under investigation. According to the crew, the incident may be related to Kondo, the director of the film Sana was filming."
“………!!!”
The originally lively and noisy atmosphere was muted in an instant.
Instead, everyone's breathing became heavy, desperate and unbelievable.
It turns out that when humans are shocked and stunned to the extreme, they can't make much sound, and there is only an almost suffocating silence.
...Did they hear it right?
Why is it that they clearly recognize each syllable in the news just now, but cannot understand what it means when they are put together?
How could Sana, who was so full of life just a few days ago, become the one covered in blood on the news?!
However, the images broadcast on the high-definition TV screen reminded them very clearly that everything they saw was true.
The news showed a sheer cliff, a howling gale, and surging black waters. The scene was depressing, yet it gave one a glimmer of hope. Since it was a cliff by the sea, was it possible that she had fallen into the sea and been rescued in time?
But when the camera showed the hard soil at the bottom of the cliff and the mottled bloodstains on the ground the next second, the illusion of luck that everyone had held on to the previous second was completely shattered.
It’s hard to imagine how painful it would be for her to fall from such a high cliff and hit the ground.
After dozens of seconds of silence that turned into a terrifying silence, Ginjima Yui finally took the lead in breaking the suffocating atmosphere.
"I, I didn't see it right... Was that our manager on TV? Or were they talking about another artist with the same stage name? But I thought I heard the manager's full name..."
"How is this possible... A few days ago, Kurikawa-san went to the temple with us to pray, and even went to Haruko with us. She was still so energetic..."
"Impossible, I absolutely will not accept such a thing."
After his warm brown eyes lost focus, Gong You stood up unsteadily and muttered, "...Tokyo, she's in the hospital in Tokyo, right? I need to go there right away."
Kita Shinsuke's face turned pale at this moment. No matter how calm and mature he usually appeared, he was still a high school student who had never experienced the separation and death of his peers. "Yes, I want to go to Tokyo."
"Me too... Kurikawa-san must be in so much pain right now...!"
"I want to go too!"
The boys, who usually handled everything with ease, were now all panicking. "Tokyo, how do we get to Tokyo?... We need to buy tickets, right? We need to take a taxi to the station first..."
"Damn it, I can't get a taxi no matter what. There are no cars accepting orders for a while!"
Miyaji stood up suddenly, picked up his father's car keys on the living room table and walked out.
Under the surprised gazes of others, the silver-haired boy sat directly in the main driver's seat of the car. The car's internal combustion engine started with a violent roar, as if it was the sound of his heart that was almost collapsing at this moment.
Gong You, who shared the same DNA with him, also sat in the co-pilot seat as quickly as possible, reaching a completely consistent understanding with his twin brother.
At this moment, they all had only one thought -
I want to see her, I want to see her right away.
I must rush to her side immediately and never let her be alone in such pain.
"...Ji! Calm down! You don't have a license plate yet!" Akagi Rushinari reacted and was frightened by the two brothers' almost crazy behavior. He reached out to grab Miyaji.
"I don't care! I can drive!"
"rule!!"
In the chaos, Kita Shinsuke grabbed the silver-haired boy with a complicated expression, "If Sana was here, she would definitely not want you to risk your life like this! Calm down, Coach Kurosu is coming to pick us up——"
“……!”
The twins' originally handsome faces were now tense and almost hideous. After a few heavy breaths, Miyaji turned off the engine and got out of the car when he saw Coach Kurosu Houmune driving the volleyball club's bus to his doorstep.
"I have already heard about Kurikawa's situation from her agent, Ms. Sato. I will send you to Tokyo now." Coach Kurosu Homune's face was also very ugly, and he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
By the time all the members of the Inarizaki volleyball club arrived at the Tokyo University Hospital where Kurikawa Sana was and reunited with Ms. Sato, the doctor had just finished the rescue and came out of the operating room.
"Thankfully, Ms. Kurikawa was protected by trees when she fell, miraculously surviving the thirty-meter cliff. The multiple severe fractures and bleeding caused by the fall have already been repaired through surgery."
"But... Miss Kurikawa hit her head when she fell to the ground, causing severe cerebral rupture, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and brain damage. Currently, Miss Kurikawa has completely lost her cognitive and motor abilities and has fallen into a long-term coma. She may... never wake up."
“………”
The corridor outside the operating room fell into a dead silence.
The first person to ask was Ms. Sato, the calmest and most mature of all, "...You mean, Sana has become a vegetable?"
"Yes, that's medically correct."
"…Is there any chance of waking up?"
"Yes, but the hope is very slim."
“………”
"Please accept my condolences."
…

Almost at the same time.
Shibuya Crossing, Tokyo.
"Akaashi...did I hear correctly?" Koutarou looked up at the huge LED screen hanging outside the mall in the middle of the intersection. His voice became hollow because he was too unbelievable. "Did it just say Sanana?"
“………”
Akaashi Kyoji also gasped. He clenched his fists tightly, feeling his nails digging deep into his palms. Finally, he heard his own almost hoarse voice answer: "...It's her, Bokuto-senpai."
"This is impossible, Kuroo, please tell me quickly, Akaashi and I just heard it wrong." Koutarou Koutarou's usually bright brown eyes lost all their luster.
Standing next to him were Kuroo Tetsuro and Kozume Mamoru from Otokoma High School. It was after the Spring High School Games, and the four, always good friends, had agreed to buy new sneakers. But as they reached the busy intersection, they noticed that for some reason, everyone on the street had stopped, looking up at the news on the LED screens.
It was playing a report from Rimei TV, saying that artist Sana fell off a cliff while filming a movie and was in critical condition.
Rimai broadcast "exclusive footage" that other TV stations did not have. The black-haired girl was covered in blood on the medical stretcher, which made people feel painful and shocked just by looking at it.
Unable to answer Koutarou Koutarou's question, Kuroo Tetsuro was completely stunned and stood there, his heart filled with intense shock and disbelief.
Who could have imagined that the girl whom I had just met and seen not long ago, who was enough to amaze me for my entire youth, would become life or death in the blink of an eye.
For Kuroo Tetsuro, Kurikawa Sana might still be too far away. What he could feel more was shock and regret. But when he thought of his childhood friend, Kuroo Tetsuro was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at the other party.
Grinding...
Unlike him, Momo's feelings for Kurikawa Sana are not something he can compare to.
…
For the first time, Guzhua Grinding experienced what it felt like to fall into an ice cellar.
The last time he stood at Shibuya, known as the busiest intersection in the world, he and Kuri were closer than ever. But when he stood at this intersection again, he saw the news that she had fallen off a cliff and her life was in danger.
At that time, he told Kuri to let her move forward and he would try his best to catch up with her.
But as she strode forward, she fell into an abyss and her life was in danger.
Guzhua Mo Mo remembered that he once told her that he always felt that she would disappear at any time.
Surprisingly, his words came true.
His perception and senses were somewhat dull as he opened his phone. He had clearly received a message from her half an hour ago, which was a very beautiful landscape photo.
[kuri: (image)]
[kuri: I saw a beautiful scenery and wanted to share it with my friends, hehe]
[Kuri: It looks like the scenery in the game where we met, like the Starry Valley in the game! Grind revived me several times here (wink emoji)]
Guzhua Mo La stared at the landscape photo intently. The photo was sunny and had a wide view of the endless waters of Tokyo Bay. The shooting angle was exactly at the cliff where she had the accident as shown in the news just now.
The news said her fall from the cliff was related to the film director of this shoot... Did that guy do something to her?!
It was clear that in the previous second, she was happily sharing with him the beautiful scenery similar to that in the game, but in the next second she fell off a cliff in this place.
Thinking of this, Guzhua Momo suddenly froze, and the light in his golden pupils began to fade.
If she hadn't wanted to share this scenery with him, would she not have been in danger here?
The heart seemed to be gnawed and stung by something, the pain spread rapidly, and the boy's heart fell straight down.
