Chapter 91 Volleyball 51
Summer vacation staycation, Day 7.
Another morning of training ended, and Kurikawa Sana picked up her phone, which she hadn't opened for a long time. The screen was already full of messages.
[Ms. Sato: Remember to protect your skin! Never get bit by mosquitoes again!]
Kurikawa Sana replied guiltily: [Okay, okay~ (crying.emoji)]
Ahaha, if Ms. Sato knew that she wanted to get bitten by mosquitoes again yesterday to increase the favorability of Solitary Claw, she would probably be furious :D
After replying to Ms. Sato, Kurikawa Sana opened her eyes wide in surprise when she saw a chat window belonging to someone suddenly pop up on the top of the Line interface.
...It turned out to be Sakusaya-kun? !
Sakusaya-kun actually took the initiative to send her a message? !
She had been so busy lately that she had completely forgotten to text Sakuhaya-kun. And he was the type who almost never initiated messages. What had happened today? Sakuhaya-kun had actually taken the initiative to text her, which was truly surprising.
However, records show that the message sent by Sakuhaya Seiomi was quickly withdrawn by him, and Kurikawa Sana had no way of knowing what the message was.
However, Sakusaya-kun changed his profile picture. It was a kitten, obviously the kitten they rescued together in the park that day. The kitten seemed to have recovered well, and the original skin disease was no longer visible. It was a very cute little black cat.
Kurikawa Sana quickly typed back: [What message did Sakusaya-kun withdraw? (starry eyes emoji)]
The other party didn't reply so quickly, so Kurikawa Sana exited and continued to check other messages.
Wait... Besides Sakuhaya-kun, the following information is also unexpected!
[Ushijima Wakari: Kurikawa-san, long time no see. How have you been lately?]
It's actually Ushijima-kun! And his nickname on Line is actually his full name, just like Kageyama Tobio. How honest! And this conversation is really a very templated opening line.
[sana: (surprise.emoji)]
[Sana: I'm fine. How's Ushijima-kun? How's everything going lately?]
The message I replied to quickly showed as read, and the next second, the other party made a line call.
Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a moment, but quickly answered the call.
"...Ushijima-kun?"
"It's me, Kurikawa-san." Ushijima Wakari paused and asked, "I'm sorry, isn't it a bit abrupt to call you so suddenly? I'm just... not very familiar with how to use this chat app."
Ah, you are worthy of being the one who downloaded LINE on the spot.
The young man's voice coming from the phone receiver was so deep that it didn't even sound like a high school student, but the unique honesty and sincerity in his tone, which showed that he would answer every question, offset the fact that his voice was too mature.
Kurikawa Sana quickly smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm not being abrupt. I'm just a little surprised that Ushijima-kun would contact me out of the blue."
"Since I've made it to Tokyo, I'm wondering if I can meet Kurikawa-san."
"Huh? Ushijima-kun is in Tokyo too? What a coincidence."
"Well, my father returned to Japan and landed at Haneda Airport. After meeting with my father in Tokyo, I was planning to go directly back to Miyagi Prefecture, but I remembered that Oikawa said you were in Tokyo, so I haven't left yet."
Kurikawa Sana was stunned for a moment, "Huh? Oikawa-kun said I was in Tokyo?"
"Yes, I met Oikawa while running the night before last. I persuaded him to transfer to Shiratorizawa to attend Spring High School during his last semester. Oikawa looked very angry and scolded me, and then he suddenly mentioned your name."
Ushijima Wakari was silent for a moment, then continued, "Oikawa said that you and Hinata Kageyama were both training in Tokyo. He also said that perhaps after the training, Karasuno's strength would be greatly enhanced. Maybe then, even Aoba Johsai wouldn't have to intervene, and Karasuno would have already defeated Shiratorizawa."
Kurikawa Sana: “Pfft…”
There are so many things to complain about that I can hardly list them all!
I feel like I can even hear the tone of voice when Oikawa Toru said these words in my mind. There must be a wavy line at the end of the tone. Every time Ushijima meets Oikawa, he will persuade him to go to Shiratorizawa...
"Eh, but how did Oikawa-kun know that she was also attending the Tokyo training camp?" Kurikawa Sana thought for a while and didn't seem to remember ever mentioning the Tokyo training camp to him.
"So, Kurikawa-san."
Ushijima Wakari suddenly spoke again, and the boy asked again in his extremely low voice: "Can I come to see you?"
Kurikawa Sana: "!!!"
Help, this subwoofer is really bad. It feels like it's going to explode when the receiver is close to my ear. It feels more powerful when it's coming from across the phone!
"Of course you can--" Kurikawa Sana agreed, but after agreeing, she suddenly remembered that she was at Senran High School, where the Owl Valley Alliance held its training camp. She wondered if Ushijima, as a student from another school, could come in?
"Well, but I'm at Senran High School..."
Ushijima Wakari: "I know, it's Moriren High School in Saitama Prefecture. Coach Washi Takumi knows the coach of Moriren High School. Coach Washi Takumi has put the word in for me. If I want to go there, I can go straight in."
Ah, Mr. Washi Takumi from Shiratorizawa is indeed an old coach who has been coaching for many years, and he even has a lot of connections in Tokyo.
"Okay, Ushijima-kun, when are you planning on coming over? Today is the last day of the training camp, and we're leaving tomorrow..."
"I'll come over now." Ushijima Wakari said firmly.
Kurikawa Sana was slightly stunned.
It was clearly just a simple sentence, but because of the boy's particularly firm and powerful tone, it seemed like something he had been looking forward to for a long time and cherished very much.
Touched by the other party's solemnity and seriousness, Kurikawa Sana smiled and replied, "Well, I'll wait for you, Ushijima-kun."
[Ushijima Wakari, Favorability +5. ]
…
After hanging up the phone, Kurikawa Sana was still in a daze.
System: [What's wrong? Sana.]
Kurikawa Sana's expression still looked a bit dazed: "I'm just a little surprised that Ushijima-kun, who has a 57 favorability rating, would actually come to Tokyo to find me... Oh no, I just added 5 points to my favorability rating, so it's now 62."
System: [He didn't come to Tokyo to look for you on his own initiative. He came to see his father and just happened to remember that you were also in Tokyo.]
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
The analysis is very good and systematic. I won’t analyze it again next time.
System: [From Ushijima's perspective, Hyogo Prefecture, where you usually live, is too far away. If you happen to be in Tokyo, it's a rare opportunity to meet. Besides, he was reminded of your existence by Oikawa Tooru the night before, so it's not surprising that he took the initiative to look for you.]
Kurikawa Sana: [I see... But I'm still a little flattered.]
System: [How do you say that?]
Kurikawa Sana: [This is the first time someone has come to me on their own initiative, without an invitation and not by coincidence, to where I am! Finally, I'm not running around everywhere anymore! QAQ]
system:【………】
It's an unprecedented unique angle.
The phone vibrated again. Kurikawa Sana looked down and saw that it was Sakuhaya Seiomi who replied to the message.
[S: Nothing.]
[S: Just wanted to tell you that Koto is recovering well.]
Two photos are attached. The little black cat in the photos has shiny fur, and the eye that had the most serious conjunctival perforation has returned to normal. It can be seen that it is well taken care of.
In the lower right corner of the second photo, a young man's fair, bony hand gently strokes a small black cat. Sunlight falls on the cat and the boy's hand, creating a warm and beautiful scene.
Woo woo woo, it’s great that the little jacket finally has a healthy body and doesn’t have to wander around outside anymore.
Kurikawa Sana was so touched that she immediately typed back: [The little jacket is so cute! Sakuhaya-kun takes such good care of it. Wow, can I come and see the little jacket?]
[S: Yes.]
[S: When will you come?]
[Sana: Is the day after tomorrow okay?]
[S: Yeah.]
Soon, the other party sent a location address.
Kurikawa Sana smiled with her eyes curved, and replied: [Got it, see you the day after tomorrow~ Sakusaya-kun, and Koto-chan!]
Soon, the message showed that the other party had read it.
[Sakuzao Holy Minister, favorability +4. 】
Kurikawa Sana closed her phone contentedly.
It’s great that everyone can increase their favorability by chatting across the screen!
…
*
Half an hour later.
The manager's work was almost done, and Kurikawa Sana also received new information.
[Ushijima Wakari: I went to Senran High School.]
[Ushijima Wakari: There are many gymnasiums here. Which one is Kurikawa-san at?]
Wow, it came so fast!
Kurikawa Sana quickly typed back: "It's at the First Gymnasium, but is it hard to find? I'll pick you up."
[Ushijima Wakari: It's not hard to find. I'm already here.]
...Huh?
After seeing this message, Kurikawa Sana immediately ran out the door.
As soon as I opened the door, the person I saw was the boy with army green hair who I hadn't seen for a long time.
Today, Ushijima Wakatoshi was dressed in his typical casual clothes. Beneath the simple black short-sleeved shirt, his muscular build was undeniable. His features and brows were as handsome and well-defined as ever, exuding a resolute and unique aura. He was carrying a light bag on his back, breathing lightly, and inexplicably looked like he'd been through a lot.
Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
To be able to make Shiratorizawa's absolute ace gasp for breath, did he start running all the way from a long distance?
I was even more moved, woooooo...
Ushijima Wakari took a step forward, her brown-green pupils reflecting the delicate and beautiful black-haired girl. "Long time no see, Kurikawa-san."
"Long time no see, Ushijima-kun." After feeling touched, Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but ask, "Come to think of it, why did Ushijima-kun want to come see me?"
It was true that they were both in Tokyo by chance, but there had to be a reason for wanting to see someone, right? Kurikawa Sana looked up at him expectantly.
Ushijima Wakari looked at her and answered honestly, "To be honest, Kurikawa-san..."
"Actually, I want to play a game of ball with you."
Kurikawa Sana: "..."
With a "whoosh", a breeze blew across the campus of Senran High School, taking away her silence.
Ah this.
What a coincidence! Today is the last day of the training camp, and she just promised Kageyama Tobio that they would have a practice match later.
But as expected of Ushijima-kun, I guess there's nothing surprising about it :D
Just when Kurikawa Sana was about to break free from the petrified state, Ushijima Wakari suddenly spoke again.
"But, besides playing basketball..." The boy with army green hair lowered his eyes, his deep voice as sincere as ever: "Besides that, I also want to see you."
...Huh?
This sudden straight ball made Kurikawa Sana stunned.
[Ushijima Wakari, Favorability +5. ]
The bright and dazzling summer sunshine shines through the mottled shade of the trees, illuminating the seriousness in the boy's brown-green pupils.
Wow...
Ushijima-kun is really good too! He's a straight man, and his sincerity is palpable.
Kurikawa Sana couldn't help but be moved. Just as she was about to reply, she heard Kageyama Tobio's voice suddenly coming from behind her.
"Really? Ushijima-senpai?!"
The black-haired boy walked out of the gym and rushed over. "Ushijima-senpai, do you want to play basketball too? That's great. We're just about to play a game with you, so if you want to join us, you can go warm up now."
The originally subtle atmosphere was suddenly interrupted. Ushijima Wakari came back to his senses. His gaze withdrew from Kurikawa Sana's face and his eyes had returned to clarity.
Ushijima Wakari looked at Kageyama Tobio, "It's you, Karasuno's setter."
Kageyama Tobio nodded, "Yes, Hinata and I will both participate in the practice match later. Want to have a competition, Ushijima-senpai?"
Ushijima Wakari's eyes suddenly grew sharp. "As you wish, Kageyama Tobio, born from the concrete. Let me see whether, after your summer of evolution, you and Hinata Shoyo have absorbed the nutrients of the fertile soil."
Kageyama Tobio twitched the corners of his mouth, his handsome face smiling like a villain, "Believe that we won't let you down, Ushijima-senpai."
Kurikawa Sana on the side: "..."
Ah, the appearance of Kageyama-kun made Ushijima-kun's line of "I want to see you" which was dokidoki's a second ago, instantly and seamlessly jump to the familiar and abstract "concrete" and "fertile soil theory".
Damn it!
Kurikawa Sana wiped away her non-existent tears sadly.
Will the romantic atmosphere that just happened when Niu Niu finally came to his senses return? Will it come back? Woo woo woo…
Kageyama-kun is really a volleyball idiot! TVT
