Chapter 63 Volleyball 23
"Huh... I'm finally back..."
It was almost two in the morning when she returned to the hotel. Kurikawa Sana thought about it carefully and realized how tight her schedule was.
After arriving in Tokyo last night, I memorized the script in the hotel all night. I got up early this morning to go to the crew to put on makeup and shoot scenes for a whole day. Then in the evening, I met Kuroo and Akaashi, and had barbecue with the Owl Valley people.
Then I returned to the hotel and took a short nap. When I went downstairs for a walk, I met Sakuhaya Seiomi. I waited with him for the rescued stray cat until the operation was successful. After doing all this, I returned to the hotel at two o'clock in the morning.
I have to continue filming early tomorrow morning... Kurikawa Sana dragged her tired body into the bathroom to take another shower, but she choked when she saw the mirror.
Ah, so green.
Under the bathroom light, the fluorescent green of her Jingtashan College uniform shone brightly. The owner of the jacket was nearly 1.9 meters tall, and his clothes looked particularly large on her.
Oops, I forgot to return the coat to Sakuhaya.
If I remember correctly, he said he only had two team uniforms, so he asked to borrow her coat to save the cat. Now that she'd taken his uniform, wouldn't he only have one left, with no spare coat?
Kurikawa Sana quickly took out her phone and sent a message to the other party: [Sakuhaya-kun, are you leaving? Your coat is still with me.]
The chat box shows that the other party is typing.
[S: Already back home.]
So fast? It seems his home is nearby. No wonder he's running in the nearest park at night.
She had to return the clothes while she was still in Tokyo, but tomorrow's filming schedule was so busy that she didn't have time to deliver them in person...
Kurikawa Sana continued typing: "If that's convenient, I'll take it to the dry cleaning shop tomorrow and have them deliver it to you?"
After a long while, the other party replied.
[S: No thanks, I’ll just order another set.]
Eh, is he angry? Or does he no longer want clothes that have been worn by others? Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a moment.
[Sana: Sakusaya-kun, are you angry?]
[S:?]
[S: No.]
Kurikawa Sana was stunned. Is this really someone with a favorability rating of 60? She could feel the cold air coming through the screen!
The system's electronic voice chimed in at the perfect moment: "A favorability rating of 60 might seem high, but it's actually just the entry level, not enough to make a significant change in the other person. If I had to describe it, it's roughly the level of "somewhat caring." For example, if you appear, someone with a favorability rating of 60 will glance at you. Only when it reaches 80 or above can it be considered "liking" someone."
"I see. So, up to now, Gong You is the only one who has truly reached the point of 'liking' me?"
System: [That's right, Kakuna and Miyaji are also approaching 80.]
Woo woo woo, at this moment I suddenly miss Inarizaki so much. It is worthy of being a school with the advantages of daily classes and clubs. Kurikawa Sana was moved to tears.
"Suddenly I remembered Karasuno Tsukishima-kun, who has the lowest favorability rating... He only has 22 points. I wonder what this one is like?"
System: [We're just acquaintances, just enough to know you exist.]
Kurikawa Sana: "...Okay, I understand."
Since she came to the volleyball world, because of her appearance and her love for volleyball, everyone's initial favorability towards her is not too low. Only Tsukishima-kun is so cold and aloof TAT
"How can I conquer everyone in Karasuno? And the Tokyo Otokoma team that I haven't been able to meet until now..." Kurikawa Sana rolled back and forth on the bed crying.
The system complained helplessly: [I told you to choose your initial landing school carefully, but you didn't listen... But don't worry too much, I will help you find a solution, Sana.]
This time, the girl did not respond.
It turned out that he was tired after rolling around a few times and fell asleep.
system:【………】
The system quietly disappeared without saying anything to wake her up.
After the room fell silent, the hotel lights intelligently dimmed. At three in the morning, only the girl's phone, placed beside her bed, suddenly lit up with a pop-up message, its screen flickering.
[S: That coat]
[S: You can keep it or throw it away, it’s up to you.]
…
*
The filming task on the second day was very heavy, shooting from morning to night. The character "Hoshimi Mari" played by Kurikawa Sana had several rival scenes with the heroine, especially the one shot in advance at night, which was the most difficult.
This scene tells the story of the heroine learning that Hoshimi Mari is about to leave the country, and coming to her school for the last time to see her, hoping to see her for the last time.
The difficulty of this scene lies in the fact that she needs to interpret the complex psychological emotions of Xing Jian Zhenli. As the white moonlight of the heroine, Xing Jian Zhenli is not completely pure white.
She had already noticed the scars on the heroine's body caused by school bullying under her long shirt and trousers, and was also aware of her role as a pillar in the heroine's heart. She knew that if she left, the heroine might not be able to hold on, but Hoshimi Mari still chose to leave.
"Feiniao, no one's life has to revolve around anyone else. Please don't put moral shackles on me when I leave."
"Truth, it turns out you... have always known it."
"Will you hate me? I'm not perfect and I've shown my selfish side."
"No, you've never been a perpetrator, so how could you be selfish? How could I possibly hate you? I just... can't bear to leave you."
Hoshimi Mari took the initiative to hug the skinny Asuka, and tears rolled down from the corners of their eyes under the moonlight.
“May you fly high in the sky, with a clear path ahead, like a flying bird.”
“Cut——!”
With the director's order, today's shooting mission ended.
After saying hello to the staff and leaving get off work, the Xiaogu campus was already quiet and deserted late at night.
Kurikawa Sana was feeling a bit down. Only four days in Tokyo had passed, and today, after filming all day, she hadn't had any chance to meet her target...
But when she walked tiredly to the school gate, she heard a familiar and demonic voice.
“Hey hey hey——”
Kurikawa Sana: "!!!"
This iconic sound...
When she turned around, she saw the tall and straight figures of two young men under the street light at the school gate. They were Koutarou Bokuto and Kyoji Akaashi.
The moment their eyes met.
[Akawe Kyouji, favorability +2. 】
"Kuroogi-kun and Akaashi-kun, why haven't you come home yet so late?" Kurikawa Sana ran towards them in surprise.
"I'm waiting for you. Akaashi said he was worried about me being alone, so he came along too."
"Hey, wait for me?"
"Because Sanana will be leaving Tokyo soon, and before that, I want to see more of you." Koutarou Koutarou said with a smile.
"Sa, Sanana?" Kurikawa Sana stuttered.
"No, doesn't it sound good?" The boy's brown eyes instantly turned into rolling egg flowers.
Kurikawa Sana: "...It sounds good! It sounds good!"
She glanced at the time on her phone in surprise. It was almost midnight, and they had actually waited for her to film until this late...
"Sanana, are you hungry? Do you want to go eat something?" asked Koutarou Koutarou.
Kurikawa Sana shook her head: "It's too late to eat. I need to control myself. I was already quite indulgent at the barbecue the day before yesterday."
"But I'm so hungry... How about I just go to the convenience store up front and buy something?"
Akaashi Kyoji finally spoke helplessly, "Kuroo-senpai, did you wait for Sana-san for so long just to get her to eat convenience store food with you? She just finished filming and is already very tired. She should go back to the hotel and rest early."
"Ah, is that so..." The boy's brown eyes turned into small eyes of grievance again.
For a moment, Kurikawa Sana could hardly tell who was the senior between Kurosabuchi and Akaashi. Akaashi's mature and steady aura was so strong.
She quickly said, "It's okay. I'm not very tired. Then Akaashi-kun and I will wait for you here."
The only third-year student present immediately regained his energy, "Okay! I'll be right back!"
Akawe Kyoji: "......"
The black-haired boy sighed tiredly, and finally understood the meaning of what the seniors in the team usually said to him, "Akaashi, you don't have to pamper Kuroo so much"... He glanced at the person next to him silently.
Now this shining beautiful girl star is pampering Kuroo-senpai even more.
Kurikawa Sana also fell into deep thought as she looked at Koutarou Koutarou's back. She felt strange, as if something was wrong.
Kuroo, he could have waited for her to finish filming until late at night, and he could have said things like "I want to see you more", which could be considered intimate words - but his favorability level did not change, instead Akaashi Kyoji's favorability level increased by 2 points.
The system said in her mind: [I've said before, increasing the favorability of the capture target too much at the beginning is not a good idea. It may make it difficult to increase it later. Conquering Konaka is not as simple as it seems.]
Kurikawa Sana: [How, how could this happen...]
When Koutarou Kousa, who was the best at livening up the atmosphere, was not there, only Kyoji Akaashi and Sana Kurikawa were left, and the atmosphere became a bit awkward and silent for a while.
After a long while, Akaashi Kyoji broke the silence, "Ms. Sana, are we filming the scene before Mari leaves for the country today?"
"Yes, Akaashi-kun, did you just see the filming?"
"No, I've only read the original novel for this drama. There aren't many scenes where Mari and Asuka meet at night. I think it's only the part where they say their final goodbyes." Akaashi Kyoji looked at her and asked, "Ms. Sana, what do you think of the character of Hoshimi Mari?"
"Hmm? What do you mean, Akaashi-kun?"
"Many book reviews say that Mari could have pretended to know nothing, pretended not to know the bullying suffered by the heroine Asuka, and left with a flawless image in Asuka's heart, but Mari took the initiative to tear off this mask."
"Therefore, many people believe that Zhenli is a sophisticated egoist, and that her gentle and kind image from beginning to end was all a disguise. She took the initiative to remove the mask before leaving to drain Asuka's last desire to survive... Miss Sana, what do you think?"
"I don't agree with this view. The original novel devotes a lot of space to describing Zhenli's kindness from childhood to adulthood. It was she who saved Fei Niao from despair. A gentleman is judged by deeds, not by the heart. A person's occasional kindness can be a disguise, but doing good deeds every day for ten years is definitely not a disguise."
"In my opinion, Zhenli's final action was not a despicable act to sap Fei Niao's last hope of survival. Instead, it was because Fei Niao hinted to Zhenli that she would commit suicide because of her departure. Zhenli was not angry because she was being morally blackmailed. She just wanted Fei Niao to become truly strong. That way, even after she left, Fei Niao could live for herself."
Kurikawa Sana said a lot of things in one breath, and after she finished, she felt a little regretful that she had talked too much.
In the original novel, Hoshimi Mari is actually a very controversial character. Many people criticize this character for being pretentious, hypocritical, and selfish. As a paper-thin supporting role, Mari has many haters. But even if she didn't play this role, she sincerely believes that Mari is a good girl who has done nothing wrong.
I wonder what Akagi would think?
As if he didn't expect her to answer so seriously, Akaashi Kyoji was also a little surprised, "You... your analysis is correct."
"No one is more suitable to interpret the truth than you, Ms. Sana."
The black-haired boy smiled gently, his smile was elegant and beautiful.
[Akawe Kyouji, favorability +7. 】
“……!”
Great, the answer is correct. It seems Akaashi supports the truth faction! Kurikawa Sana breathed a sigh of relief, but then felt that her worries were unnecessary. The young people in this world are all so sunny and normal, not even a little dark.
"Akaashi-kun, do you like reading literary works?"
"Yeah, I like it very much."
"I feel like this is more than just a normal level of affection... I even remember the few night scenes where Mari and Asuka acted together so clearly."
"If I had to describe it, I'd say I like it so much that I'd like to work as a literary editor in the future."
"Eh? Akaashi-kun, aren't you going to play volleyball anymore?"
Akaashi Kyoji was slightly stunned for a moment, then laughed, "... probably not."
He came to Owl Valley Academy to play volleyball because he admired the sight of the ace players jumping and spiking the ball.
At this moment, that person also ran out of the convenience store carrying a bag of food, with a bright smile on his face, which was very contagious.
Kyoji Akaashi looked at the figure of the person coming, and then glanced at the people around him.
The girl who had been seriously discussing literature with him just a second ago, with his figure reflected in her deep blue eyes, now had her gaze shifted - firmly fixed on Kuroo-senpai.
really.
Akaashi Kyoji thought calmly.
Will dazzling people attract each other?
