Chapter 80 Volleyball 40
kozume: [Miyagi Prefecture, is it fun? ]
Um?
The answer is of course - it’s fun!
The most important thing is that everyone is generous in giving favorability, except for a certain cool male god:D
Kurikawa Sana typed back: [It's quite fun. Miyagi Prefecture is full of talented people and they speak so well. I love being there!]
Kozume was silent for a moment, and the blond boy character in the game interface seemed a little speechless.
But she was also surprised. She didn't expect that after not playing the game for a month, she would still meet Kozume who happened to be online.
And almost immediately he invited people to form a team and sent messages, which was even faster than the official game return gift package.
So he just happened to be online, and he noticed her as soon as she came online? What a coincidence.
And is it an illusion? Why does it feel like Kozume's words "Miyagi Prefecture, is it fun?" are a bit... resentful?
Kurikawa Sana shook the water from her head and felt that her momentary illusion was too narcissistic.
From his perspective, she was just a stranger online who was terrible at gaming and hadn't played the game in over a month. Kozume didn't know who she was, so how could she possibly be affected by her? It was just an illusion.
Just when she was thinking about what to say, the other party replied first: [Can we talk on the phone? ]
For some reason, Kurikawa Sana felt that this sentence was a little familiar.
Now that she remembered, she had been direct with him in the past, asking directly, "Can we talk on the phone?"
Kurikuri: [Okay.]
As soon as she turned on the microphone for the game team voice, the boy's voice came over -
"...Kuri."
Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a moment.
I haven't heard this voice for a long time.
The boy's voice was cold and clear, and he spoke very slowly, like a flowing spring, which was very pleasant to hear.
"Kozume-kun..." She couldn't help but admire, "Your voice is so nice."
The other party seemed silent for a moment, and then replied: "...Well, you said that last time."
"It seems so." Kurikawa Sana looked at the level on the screen and was a little surprised. "That's strange, Kozume-kun didn't level up? He's stuck at level 39."
"Well, I didn't click on the breakthrough upgrade."
"Eh? Why?"
The young man said calmly, "If you're over level 40, I can't team up with you."
Kurikawa Sana was stunned.
Yes, according to the rules of the game, every 20 levels is a threshold. If you are over level 40, you can't team up with level 20 players to play dungeons.
She, a newbie who hasn't played the game for over a month, is still level 22, the same level as Tsukishima-kun's previous favorability rating.
This was the beta test server, and the official invitees were likely streamers or high-level players. Being stuck at a certain level like this was quite rare. Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but ask, "What about the extra experience?"
"It's okay, that's nothing."
"Could it be..." She tried to ask softly, "Kozume-kun, are you waiting for me?"
“…”
The other party was silent for a moment, and only his slightly rising and falling breathing could be heard in the team voice microphone.
After a long while, the boy said "hmm" softly.
"I'm waiting for you, yes."
"So, do you want to switch lines?"
…

Tokyo.
In the room, a young man with short hair fading from blonde to black looked down at his phone and stared at the chat interface of the Line software for a long time.
——Added to contact information.
Games are no longer the only channel, and there is no need to wait meaninglessly and hopelessly.
You no longer have to log in every day to see if the avatar of the black-haired girl character in the friend list lights up like before.
Then he went offline again with an expressionless face, and could only identify the information related to Senior Inarizaki from the few words in the message sent by Xiangyang.
Guzhua Momo lowered his eyes and looked at the phone screen, a glimmer of light flashed in his yellow pupils.
Sure enough, even her Line nickname is "sana".
The game id name is "kurikuri" and the line name is "sana".
kurikawa sana, Kurikawa sana, at a glance.
She is not only the official promotional cosplayer invited by this game, a popular model, an artist whose TV series is currently on the screen, but also the volleyball club manager of Kansai Inarizaki High School - Kurikawa Sana.
Gu Zhua touched the screen with his fingers and was about to type something when there was a knock on the door.
"Grinding, are you there?——"
“……!”
With lightning speed, Lone Claw Grinding stuffed the phone under the pillow and muttered softly, "Not here."
Kuroo Tetsuro outside the door: “…”
Could it be any more outrageous?
"Since you're here, I'll open the door." As soon as Kuroo Tetsuro came in, he turned on the TV in Guzhua's grinding room with ease. As childhood friends, the two of them were very familiar with the structure of each other's rooms.
"The second episode of Sana's drama is going to be aired tonight, and I came here specially to watch it with you."
Looking at the excited little Xunran, Guzhua was silent for a while.
"I was thinking about this before, why did you ask me to watch it with you?"
"Hmm? You finally finished it with me anyway. You'd never finish something you weren't interested in."
Solitary claw grinding: "..."
After choking for a moment, he couldn't help but ask, "By the way, Xiao Hei, last time you said you suddenly started watching a drama because you liked the voice of that character?"
"Yeah, don't you think it sounds nice?" Kuroo Tetsuro pointed at the black-haired girl on the screen, whose face was beautiful and dazzling on the screen.
"Several people on the team are fans of Sana, especially Yaku and Yamamoto. It was from them that I first heard Sana-chan's voice. It's beautiful, isn't it?"
…It sounds pretty good.
Guzhua Grind tightly grasped the phone on the pillow.
Who would have thought that the girl with the nice voice that Xiao Hei mentioned, the contact information of the person on the TV screen...
Now, it's on his phone.
…

Hyogo Prefecture.
Looking at the chat box on her phone screen showing the person she had just added, whose avatar was a calico cat and whose Line nickname was also "kozume", Kurikawa Sana fell into deep thought.
There's no message coming in, so is Kozume-kun the same aloof type as Tsukishima-kun?
But whether Kozume is the lone thumb grinder from Otokoma High School... now she is not sure.
But it’s not a big problem. After the exam week is over, the summer vacation training camp organized by the Owl Valley Alliance will start soon. The location will be Moriran High School in Saitama Prefecture, Tokyo.
Thanks to the efforts of Coach Kurosu Homune, Inarizaki High School also joined the Owl Valley Alliance's Tokyo expedition this year. As a nationally ranked powerhouse, Inarizaki was welcomed by the Owl Valley Alliance coaches.
As far as she knew, the five high schools of Owl Valley, Otokoma, Ikukawa, Senran, and Karasuno were all confirmed to participate in this year's Tokyo expedition. Whether Kozume-kun in the game was actually Otokoma's lone claw grinder would be revealed when they arrived.
After daydreaming for a while, Kurikawa Sana turned on the TV and played her own TV series as background music while looking at her mobile phone.
Instead of receiving a message from Kozume, I received messages from someone else—
[Kuroto-kun: Sanana! (starry eyes emoji)]
[Kuroto-kun: I’m so excited! The training camp is coming up soon!! I can finally see Sanana!!]
[Kuroto-kun: Sanana will come, right? She will come, right? (crying emoji)]
Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but laugh out loud, and typed back: [I'll be there, see you then~Kuroto-kun (wink.emoji)]
[Aks: Just now, Kuroo-san sent a lot of messages at once. Please don't mind him. He's just too excited.]
[Aks: I’m looking forward to it too.]
[Aks: See you next week, Ms. Sana.]
Wow, Akaashi-kun is really reliable. Just the information he sends out exudes a calm and reliable aura.
It also seems that Akaashi and Kuroo are in different grades, but they are always together. Akaashi even knew that Kuroo had just sent a series of messages, so he must have been right next to her. They really have a very good relationship.
[Sana: Why would I mind? See you next week, Akaashi-kun. (laughing emoji)]
A young man from Miyagi Prefecture whose profile picture was a small orange sun also sent a message:
[Little Giant: Help me, Senior! ! ! TVT]
Kurikawa Sana quickly replied: [What happened, Hinata-kun?]
[Little Giant: How are your grades, Senpai? Exam week is coming up, and I have a feeling Kageyama and I are going to fail... If we don't, we won't be able to go on the Tokyo expedition!]
Eh? Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a moment. This was truly an unexpected situation.
[Sana: No way! Kageyama-kun looks so smart, but he actually failed a test?]
[Little Giant: That year, Kageyama was 16 and English was 17. ]
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
Phew... No, I can't hold back my laughter!
[Little Giant: And the senior only said that Kageyama's face looks smart, but what about me? QAQ Does my face look like the type that will fail a course? TVT]
[Sana: No, no!]
After all, Kageyama has a perfect score of 5 for intelligence, so she might have the impression that his academic performance is also quite good. However, if that's the case, then the intelligence in the fifth dimension probably refers to his basketball IQ, not academic performance.
[Sana: My grades are pretty good. Do you need some remote guidance?]
[Little さな giant:! ! ! ]
[Little Giant: Thank you so much!! I just asked the new manager to help us with tutoring, so that’s great.]
[Little Giant: Anyway, thank you so much, Senpai! (Bow.jpg)]
[Sana: That's great! Come on Hinata-kun~]
Kurikawa Sana raised her head. Her scenes on TV had not yet finished, and Kozume-kun had not sent her any messages on her phone.
Hmm...
Forget it, I won’t wait.
Anyway, I’ll meet them during the training camp—the last two conquest targets that I haven’t been able to meet at Otokoma High School.
Kurikawa Sana stood up and started packing for her trip to Tokyo. This time, her suitcase was even bigger than last time. Besides the training camp, she would spend the rest of her summer vacation in Tokyo filming a movie she had signed a contract for.
Tokyo—it’s coming again!
The cute Tokyo owl! The owl's keeper! The mysophobic owner of the cat's coat! —
We can meet again~
…

A week later.
The air in Saitama Prefecture, Tokyo is fresh, the weather is cool and crisp, the blue sky and white clouds are as dreamy as a fairy tale, and the sunshine is bright and brilliant.
Senran Middle School is spacious and quiet during the summer vacation. Only the teenagers from the volleyball clubs of various schools gathered together and chatted at the door.
Under the gaze of everyone, a black and gold bus slowly drove over.
"Is this Karasuno's car?" Lev Haiba, a first-year outside hitter at Otokoma High School, poked his head out curiously.
"Huh? It's not our car. We from Karasuno arrived a long time ago." Ryunosuke Tanaka from Karasuno High School walked out from the side, accompanied by other regular players of Karasuno.
Nekoma High School libero Yoku Eisuke shook his head, "Not all Karasuno members are here yet, right? Aren't those two first-year pairs missing? They failed the exam and need to take extra classes."
Tanaka Ryunosuke: "...They will come over after their tutoring, but my sister won't use such a luxurious car to take them."
"So which school does this bus belong to?" asked Yamamoto Taketo from Onokoma High School.
Among the Karasuno group, Tsukishima Hotaru looked at the bus and seemed to have noticed something. The boy's platinum eyes flickered slightly for a moment, but were quickly blocked by the lenses of his glasses that were full of rationality.
Kuroo Tetsuro raised an eyebrow. "It should be Inarizaki High School in Hyogo Prefecture. I heard from Bokuto that a nationally-ranked school from Kansai has joined the alliance this year."
I don't know what's wrong with that guy Kuroo. He asks dozens of times a day if Inarizaki has arrived. Kurooo Tetsuji's ears are almost callused from hearing so much. He almost suspects that there is someone he has a crush on at Inarizaki.
"Oh, I wonder if the new school has a female manager?" Yamamoto Taketo couldn't help but complain, "If this new Inarizaki High School also has more than one female manager, then we, Otokoma, will be completely defeated!"
Kuroo Tetsuro twitched his lips. "Does winning or losing depend on whether there's a female manager?"
Yamamoto Taketo: "Oyado and Karasuno each have two female managers, Moriran and Ikuwa also have female managers, but we, Otoko, don't have any!"
Tanaka Ryunosuke couldn't help but laugh out loud, "That's right—when it comes to having a female manager, you city boys have already lost!"
Yamamoto Tiger: "..."
Being provoked by Tanaka Ryunosuke, who shared the same position, hairstyle and appearance, Yamamoto Taketo couldn't stand it any more. He said "Ha" in a defiant manner and immediately started a quarrel with the other party: "Even though Otokoma doesn't have a female manager, I don't envy him anymore!"
Tanaka Ryunosuke immediately became alert, "You're not envious anymore? Why?!"
It’s obvious that the last time Karasuno and Otokoma trained together alone, Yamamoto was very envious!
Otoko's Fukunaga Zhaoping grumbled softly, "Because he's been chasing stars lately."
Tanaka Ryunosuke: "Huh? What star are you chasing?"
Yamamoto Tiger: "!!!"
If you say this, he won’t be sleepy anymore!
The boy with a cool golden mohawk pulled out his phone and showed off his wallpaper: "It's the hottest beautiful artist lately—Sana-chan!"
What caught everyone's eye was the black-haired beauty in Yamamoto Taketo's mobile phone wallpaper - her face was delicate and beautiful, her smile was sweet and bright, and she was incredibly beautiful.
"Eh? She's really beautiful... I think I've seen her in a TV series!"
"But Yamamoto, what are you bragging about? It's just fangirling, it's not like he's your manager!"
"That's right, she's clearly an unattainable star..."
Amidst the exclamations from the people around her, Tsukishima Hotaru closed her eyes silently.
Who would have thought that the unreachable superstar they talked about...if nothing unexpected happened, he would probably appear in front of them soon.
As if God wanted to confirm his idea, the next second, the bus heading towards the door stopped, immediately attracting the attention of everyone present.
All the people who participated in the training camp looked at this strong team from Kansai at the same time. The young men wearing the maroon sports jackets of the Inarizaki High School Volleyball Club got off the bus one after another. Each of them was tall and had a strong aura.
The black-haired girl next to them was slender and beautiful, with fair skin and graceful steps. She had the same face as the beautiful girl artist just mentioned.
However, the photo didn't even seem to capture one-tenth of her beauty. Compared to the photo, her real beauty was incredibly dazzling.
“…”
All the sounds around seemed to have stopped abruptly as if the pause button had been pressed.
“?!!!”
Who can tell them—
Why did that incredibly beautiful bishoujo star in Yamamoto Taketo's phone wallpaper get out of the Inarizaki High School volleyball team's car? ! !
