Chapter 74 Volleyball 34
After the daytime school festival at Inarizaki ended, the group arrived at Kobe Suma Beach that afternoon, still under a blue sky and white clouds. The waters of Suma were exceptionally deep, like a deep and distant sapphire, stretching as far as the eye could see.
The afternoon sun was bright and intense, illuminating the beach like fine gold. The colorful surfboards, swimming rings, and parasols dotted everywhere, imbuing the beach with a vibrant holiday atmosphere that was both relaxing and enjoyable.
Most importantly, Kobe has a high concentration of dark-skinned athletes. Looking around, the beach is filled with tall, muscular, dark-skinned men, almost becoming a distinctive sight.
Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but stare in amazement.
Gong You: “???”
Gong You, who was next to her, was the first to notice this. He quickly blocked her eyes and said, "Sana-chan, what are you looking at? A muscular man? No!"
Kurikawa Sana: "!!!"
She weakly raised her paw: "I didn't, I didn't look."
The golden fox screamed, "How could there not be?! I can see the outline of your muscles reflected in your eyes!"
Kurikawa Sana moved her eyes with a guilty conscience.
"Don't look at those guys you don't know! They're just muscles. Zhi and I have them too!"
Other members of the Inarizaki volleyball team: “…”
The young men in Miyagi Prefecture: “…”
Kita Shinsuke happened to be standing next to Iwaizumi, and he calmly addressed him, "Your club members are very energetic."
Kita Shinsuke was silent for a second before saying, "Thank you for the compliment, but Yu is very reliable when he's on the court. He's an excellent setter."
Hearing this, Oikawa Toru raised his chin towards the volleyball court on the beach not far away, "So, I wonder if we could have a chance to play against the best setter and Inarizaki Bibi?"
"Of course you can, but the rules of beach volleyball are 2v2. Do you two want to form a team by yourselves, or team up with everyone from Karasuno?" Kita Shinsuke glanced in the direction of Kageyama Tobio.
Oikawa Toru: “…”
Iwaizumi twitched his lips. Oikawa was still the same, getting awkward when it came to his junior, Kageyama. He said, "Oikawa and I are on the same team. I look forward to fighting you."
"Okay." Kitanosuke said calmly, "I'm looking forward to it too."

Everyone quickly checked into the hotel with their luggage. It was a resort hotel on the Kobe seaside. The endless sea view could be seen from the balcony of the room, which was refreshing.
However, what surprised Kurikawa Sana was that when she was about to process the free room procedures for everyone in Miyagi Prefecture, the front desk told her that they had already paid the room fee.
"Eh? Already paid?"
"Yes, Ms. Kurikawa. The six guests from Miyagi Prefecture who were originally scheduled to have their rooms free have already paid for their rooms."
Following the gaze of the front desk lady, Kurikawa Sana looked towards the elevator entrance of the hotel lobby not far away, and just saw Oikawa Toru waving at her with a smile on his face, a refreshing and handsome smile on his face.
"As a boy, how can I have the nerve to let a girl treat me to a hotel?" Oikawa Toru winked at her, his tone rising at the end of his voice, "I appreciate your kindness, see you on the beach later~"
Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a moment.
The lady at the front desk blushed. This handsome brown-haired guy was so good-looking. The group of Kansai-accented boys who checked in before them were also very good-looking. The DK concentration today was at its maximum.
Kurikawa Sana's phone also received messages from everyone in Karasuno High School.
[Little Giant: Thank you for the invitation, Senior! The room here is really huge and beautiful—though it feels a bit overwhelming to share a room with Kageyama (shivering emoji)]
[Kageyama Tobio: This room is great. There's a beach volleyball court downstairs.]
[Please let me play! : Thank you, Senior! Maybe it's because the room is so beautiful and comfortable, but Yue also looks much happier!]
That’s good, that’s good. However, Yamaguchi-kun is worthy of being Tsukishima’s childhood friend. Basically, every sentence he says is about Tsukishima, and he is always concerned about Tsukishima’s mood and condition.
Kurikawa Sana came to her room with a relieved look on her face.
The system pondered and said, "I see. It seems your judgment is correct. We can't invite too many people at once, otherwise we really won't be able to take care of them all."
Kurikawa Sana wiped away her nonexistent tears. "After all, it's different from a training camp or an exchange tournament. If you personally invite someone on a long trip, you have to fulfill your duties as a host. It's a matter of courtesy. Fortunately, I managed to coax Tsukishima-kun..."
Woohoo, Tsukishima's favorability has increased, it's so touching!
It increased by 8 points when he was playing the piano, and then by 13 points when he was under the shade of the tree. Tsukishima’s favorability finally reached 43 points - what a touching breakthrough!
The girl was humming a song in a very good mood while taking off her clothes and changing into her swimsuit, but the system rarely responded immediately.
"It seems a bit tight..." Kurikawa Sana lowered her head in annoyance, but did not bring any extra swimsuit.
Forget it, let it be.
…

When she changed into her swimsuit and went downstairs, Kurikawa Sana met an unexpected person in the elevator.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator door opened, and what came into view was a boy with short light yellow hair leaning casually on the side of the elevator.
He also changed his clothes, but not swimming trunks, but a casual beach short-sleeved shirt and shorts, which made him look taller, longer-legged and fairer-skinned.
The elevator stopped at the floor, and Tsukishima Hotaru raised his eyes calmly. After seeing the outfit of the girl in front of him, the boy's platinum pupils suddenly contracted.
"you……"
Kurikawa Sana tilted her head in confusion, "What's wrong with me, Tsukishima-kun?"
The boy raised his hand to cover the lower half of his face and turned his head away, "...Nothing."
[Tsukishima Hotaru, Favorability +3.]
Kurikawa Sana: "???"
It's so strange, it's really hard to hear a complete sentence from him.
"Tsukishima-kun, didn't you change into your swimsuit?"
"No, I just bought this outfit at a beachside shop." The boy's originally clear voice sounded a little hoarse. "...I didn't plan to stay overnight in Hyogo Prefecture."
"Oh, right..." Kurikawa Sana suddenly realized and remembered that he seemed to have come here with only a pair of white headphones today, without any personal clothes, and it was obvious that he was going to come and go on the same day.
So, did Tsukishima buy a change of clothes specifically to make the last-minute decision to come to Kobe? QAQ
Kurikawa Sana was touched, "Thank you Tsukishima-kun for coming to Kobe with us for a night~"
"...Nothing." Tsukishima Hotaru turned her head back and lowered her eyes.
But from his height and angle...
The boy tensed up instantly, his fair skin and earlobes were stained red.
Really, it's just a normal swimsuit, but this guy's figure...
Why is there such a big contrast with the appearance?
*
The beach downstairs from the hotel is almost full of people, and everyone has started warming up for beach volleyball.
The sky has turned to sunset, and the sunset glow shines down, illuminating the young men in swimming trunks, truly interpreting what it means to look thin when dressed and have muscles when undressed.
Miya Yuu wasn't exaggerating; he and his twin brother, Miyaji, were indeed impressive figures, with broad shoulders, narrow waists, and striking biceps. Their hamstrings were particularly well-developed, and the two brothers stood out together. Standing alongside them, Kakuna Rintaro was also tall, his waist and abdominal muscles particularly striking.
While wearing swimming trunks, Toru Oikawa put on a refreshing mint green short-sleeved jacket on his upper body, vaguely revealing his fair skin, well-defined chest and abdominal muscles. Coupled with his handsome face, many people on the beach came to chat with him.
Iwaizumi's well-trained muscles are firm and strong, with a healthy wheat-colored complexion, a short spiky haircut, and a resolute and tough face. Wherever he goes, he exudes the aura of a man among men.
As one of the few first-year students present, Kageyama Tobio was no less tall. As he was warming up for the upcoming beach volleyball match, his body was already covered with a thin layer of sweat, making his muscle lines more pronounced.
The others were equally superior. A group of DK teenagers playing volleyball, with an average height of over 1.8 meters, gathered together and attracted the attention of most people on the beach.
Hinata Shoyo who was caught in it: "…"
In an unknown corner, a young man silently decided in his heart that he would increase the amount of protein powder when he returned home tonight.
"Where's Sana-chan? She's so slow." Miya You asked while spinning the volleyball.
Miyaji said calmly, "I think you need to put on some sunscreen or something. Do you think you can just change into swimming trunks like us and come down?"
Kakuna Rintaro looked in the direction of the hotel, and his breathing stopped the moment a figure appeared.
"She's here."
“……!”
The moment he saw the girl walking out of the hotel, the volleyball in Gong You's hand fell to the sand with a "click", and Gong Zhi, who was standing next to him, was also stunned.
Kurikawa Sana changed into a pink and blue swimsuit, which made her skin look white and translucent, and her shoulders and joints showed a faint pink.
The split design reveals a slender waist that can be held in one hand, an irregular skirt, and... and... those blood-pumping curves...
"Yu! Why are you bleeding from your nose?!" Obihiro Alan looked at the blond boy in shock.
"And Jiya - who has a tissue? Jiya is bleeding from the nose!" Ginjima Yui was stunned, unable to believe that Miyaji, who usually looked so steady, was also like Miya Yu.
Could it be that even the capillaries in the nasal cavities of twins burst synchronously?!
