Chapter 96 Volleyball 56
After the game, Kurikawa Sana felt uncomfortable for a while.
But after resting for a while, Kurikawa Sana felt that she was able to recover, and ran to prepare ingredients for the evening barbecue with managers from other schools.
After a week of training, in order to give a surprise to the passionate DKs who worked hard in training, Nekomata's coach secretly prepared a sumptuous barbecue. Only the coaches and managers who were responsible for helping to prepare the ingredients knew about it in advance.
Seeing Kurikawa Sana appear, Suwada Kaoru was so surprised that she stopped cutting beef: "Sana-chan! How did you come out so quickly? Can't you rest for a while?"
Kiyomizu Kiyoko also asked with a worried look in her eyes: "Aren't you feeling uncomfortable? Do you want to sleep a little longer?"
Kurikawa Sana shook her head vigorously: "It's not uncomfortable, it's not uncomfortable, it's completely healed. I'm here to help~ Otherwise, it would be too hard for you."
“!!!”
The young managers felt touched instantly, and Miyanoshita Eri was very moved, "Sana-chan is so nice, woooooo..."
Bai Fuxuehui also said: "It's not too hard, just washing vegetables and cutting meat. Sana-chan can sleep a little longer."
Kurikawa Sana's expression suddenly grew serious. "It's mainly because everyone on Team Inarizaki is such a big eater, especially Osamu, who can eat as much as five people. I have to help prepare the ingredients, otherwise it will be too hard for you, Yukie-chan."
"puff……"
All the girls laughed. Shirofuku Yukiei asked in confusion, "Is Zhijun the one with silver hair? Does he eat a lot too? How does his appetite compare to mine?"
Kurikawa Sana stood at attention in awe: "Of course Yukie-chan is better."
Bai Fuxuehui: "Puff..."
"So the one with silver hair is Miyaji-senpai, and the one with golden hair is Miya Yu-senpai." Tani Hitoka clapped her hands, "Finally I can tell the twin seniors apart!"
"When Sana-chan was feeling unwell after the match just now, those two brothers looked super nervous..." Miyanoshita Eri said worriedly, "I was worried too. Hitting a ball like that must have been painful no matter how you think about it! It must have been a huge strain on their opponents and feet!"
Kaoru Suwata couldn't help but whispered, "But Sana-chan is really handsome when she plays basketball..."
As soon as this was mentioned, Gudi Renhua no longer felt sleepy. She blushed and said, "Speaking of which, Sana-chan, I just took a video of you playing basketball. It was super handsome! ... But does Sana-chan agree? If not, I will delete it immediately!"
"Of course I agree! No need to delete it~" Kurikawa Sana shyly touched the back of her head, "But can I take a look?"
Gudi Renhua: "!! Of course!"
She excitedly took out her phone, and everyone gathered around curiously. Gudi Renhua's phone was indeed showing the black-haired girl leaping high, along with her incredibly powerful jump serve, super-short diagonal spike, blocked shot that went out of bounds, and a straight shot down the line...
The video also features a super-charged back-to-back music track. Through meticulous editing, the sound of each ball landing perfectly syncs with the incredibly intense drum beats of the background music. It's like watching her play in person, a visual and auditory feast.
Kurikawa Sana: "!!!"
[System, don’t I look so handsome?! !] She couldn’t help but shout loudly in her mind.
system:【………】
[Yes, yes, very handsome.]
"You're so amazing, Ninka-chan! Have you studied editing and video making? You have such strong technical skills!" Kurikawa Sana looked at Tanichi Ninka in amazement.
Gudi Renhua replied somewhat embarrassedly, "My mom runs an advertising company, so I also know a little bit about editing videos and making posters..."
But there was another sentence after that, but Gudi Renhua twisted her fingers and didn't say it.
In the game just now, when seeing Sana-chan jumping to spike the ball, Taniji Hitoshi was deeply attracted by her and couldn't help but take out her mobile phone to record it, just like when she took the promotional poster of the Karasuno Volleyball Club for Hinata-kun.
"That's amazing, Ninka-chan! Really amazing! Can I save this video?!" Kurikawa Sana's eyes were full of stars again, and her bright smile was filled with childish excitement. "It's really cool, Ninka-chan is amazing! Really amazing!"
Yachi Jinhua: “……!!”
Looking at the beautiful smile on the black-haired girl's face, Gudi Renhua's already shy face instantly became even redder, and she suddenly felt as if her breath was stagnant.
Suddenly, I seem to understand better why Tsukishima-kun and Hinata-kun are so kind to Sana-chan, and Kageyama-kun as well...
Who wouldn’t love that? Such straightforward and sincere compliments from a flawless, super-beautiful girl, and you can feel her sincerity in every smile and sparkle in her eyes.
Faced with her sincere praise, I can't help but feel, "Oh, it turns out I'm really great," and "I can be even better."
Therefore, no matter whether it is a tsundere with a cold personality, a straight-forward puppy who goes forward bravely, or a volleyball idiot who looks like he will never get smart, no one can resist such a smile.
She often saw Tsukishima-kun, who always seemed indifferent to the outside world, actively follow the black-haired girl with his eyes. Although Tsukishima-kun would quickly look away every time, as if he didn't want others to notice, it would still leave a mark.
Hinata-kun never hides his warm and sincere emotions like the sun. Although he has always been extremely enthusiastic towards everyone, it seems that even he himself has not realized that his enthusiasm for Sana-chan has reached an unusual level.
When the seniors from Inarizaki and Sana-chan created an atmosphere that no one else could interfere with, Hinata-kun would silently clench his fists, with an unwilling expression on his face, very similar to when he practiced spiking but missed - although he was unwilling, he had no intention of giving up, and instead became more courageous.
As for Kageyama-kun, he cares about Sana-chan almost as much as he cares about volleyball, which explains the essence of the matter better than anything else.
As a bystander who sees everything clearly, Gudi Renhua feels that her eyes have seen through too much.
While Ninka was lost in thought, everyone finished watching the video she edited. Kiyoko Shimizu smiled and said, "Ninka-chan is truly amazing. It was thanks to the posters Ninka-chan took for Hinata that we were able to secure sponsors for the Karasuno volleyball club."
Kurikawa Sana's starry eyes lit up even brighter, "!!! So amazing!!"
Tani Hitoka came back to her senses, "It's, it's okay... Um, so, can I post Sana-chan's basketball video on my account? My mom asked me to try to learn how to run a Twitter account on my own from now on... But of course, if Sana-chan disagrees, then just pretend I never asked!"
"Of course! How could I disagree? I should be the one thanking Hitoka-chan! For filming a video of my life~"
Sana-chan, you are an angel TVT
Gudi Renhua blushed and nodded, then carefully clicked to upload the video she had shot.

Three hours later, in downtown Tokyo.
Sakuhaya Seiomi was feeding the adopted kitten "Koto-chan" with cat food at home. The whole cat food was quickly emptied. The black-haired boy pulled the corner of his mouth and gently touched the kitten's chin with his knuckles, "Slow down, it's not like you'll lose anything."
The kitten meowed and clung to his hand, its gesture showing intimacy and trust.
So clingy, Sakuhaya Seiomi thought.
When she comes...will Koto be so close to her? Sakuhaya Seiomi paused.
It was very close to the time she had agreed to meet.
Sakusaya Seishin took out his cell phone and took a picture of the kitten Koto, but when he opened the chat box with that person and was about to send it, he paused.
The last sentence left in the chat dialog box with her was "Got it. See you the day after tomorrow~ Sakusaya-kun, and Koto-chan!"
After this sentence, Sakuhaya Seiomi never started a new topic, and the other party never took the initiative to send him messages or talk to him again. Only a lonely message remained on the interface.
“………”
Sakuhaya Seiomi clenched his cell phone in silence.
If anything, he didn't respond. He could have replied with an emoji, but he wasn't in the habit of doing so. Sakuhaya Seiomi concluded the chat about visiting Koto was over with her last message, so he didn't reply.
However, after that message, she really didn't say anything else, and he was the only one waiting for the promised day to come.
...You wouldn't know until you see it. It seems that in all their previous conversations, although he seemed to be the more indifferent one, but if you look closely, if you include the messages that were sent and withdrawn, Sakusaya Seiomi found that almost 80% of the conversations between him and Kurikawa Sana were initiated by him.
Sakuzao Holy Minister: "..."
A top-three attacker in the country clenched his phone again, his arm muscles tensing for a moment.
Never mind, it's no big deal.
Quickly, as if avoiding something, Sakuhaya Seiomi quickly and expressionlessly cut out the Line chat interface and switched to the Twitter app, subconsciously wanting to look at something else to divert his attention.
However, as soon as he opened Twitter, his attention was attracted by two Twitter trends.
#Haikyuu Syoujyo #sana
...Volleyball girl? Sana?
How could these two seemingly unrelated trends be connected?
Subconsciously, Sakuhaya Seiomi clicked on it, and what came into his eyes was a high-energy volleyball video. The black-haired girl who was the protagonist was very familiar to him - it was Kurikawa Sana.
And competing with her on the other side of the net was Ruoli-kun.
Sakuhaya Seiomi was stunned for a moment.
Isn't she Inarizaki's manager? So she can play volleyball too... But when was this video taken? Did Wakari-kun come to Tokyo too?
Many questions flashed through his mind, but Sakuhaya Seiomi suppressed them and continued reading.
Soon, as the video music reached the most exciting moment, the picture changed to the image of a black-haired girl jumping high and hitting a powerful jump shot!
Then, the next punctuation point in the music was the scene where the girl's serve seemed to smash through the floor and then bounce back and hit the ceiling.
“……?!”
Sakuhaya Seiomi's dark pupils contracted, and unbelievable was no longer enough to describe his feelings at the moment.
What on earth is going on?!
Is this a shot that a high school student can make?!
So when Wakari-kun said she was stronger than him and Kiryu Yato, wasn't he just joking?!
He always thought that it was Wori-kun learning how to make the atmosphere humorous from his team's outside hitter, Tendou Jue!
So it’s true…?!
She really was—better than all of them.
At the end of the video, accompanied by the explosively pulsating chorus of the background music, the black-haired girl, after a sufficient run-up, leaps out of a high jump that's visually higher than even the current national team's ace—and unleashes a powerful, miraculous spike, capping the match perfectly.
Sakuzao Holy Minister: "..."
After watching the video over and over again, Sakuhaya Seiomi finally understood.
I see.
Ruolijun, is this why you are attracted to me?
Sakuhaya Seiomi closed his eyes.
However, the name of this trending Twitter search was wrong. In his opinion, calling it #Haikyuu Syoujyo (Volleyball Girl) was too conservative.
It should be called #Haikyuu Taitei.

The other side.
On the last day of the summer camp during the summer vacation, the aroma of barbecue filled the open space behind the gymnasium of Senran Middle School, and the green lawn was filled with barbecue grills and ingredients.
DK and JK were full of laughter and joy, and brought this Tokyo expedition to a perfect end with delicious barbecue.
The managers from each school were still diligently cutting ingredients at the makeshift cooking table, providing everyone with a steady supply of meat and vegetables. The boys were deeply moved by what they saw and bowed in their direction.
"Thank you so much! You worked so hard preparing the ingredients and grilling the meat!"
"No, it's not just today's barbecue. Thank you for your hard work during the training camp and as a manager!"
“Thank you, manager! Praise the manager!”
"Our manager Sai Gao!!"
The girls were stunned at first, then moved by the other members, and said in unison—
“It’s okay, it’s okay…”
"Everyone, thank you for your hard work in training!"
“Happy BBQ!”
Touching and understanding are mutual. The players are grateful for the managers' efforts, and the managers understand the hardships of the players' training. The boys and girls have found the meaning of their existence in the passionate sports clubs in high school.
Kurikawa Sana was among them. She and Ikukawa High School manager Miyanoshita Eri were in charge of the onion chopping process. For a moment, she couldn't tell if the soreness in her eyes was from chopping onions or from being moved by everyone.
But soon, after hearing the notification sound of increased favorability suddenly ringing in her mind, Kurikawa Sana was sure - she was definitely touched now.
Suddenly, there was a "ding" sound.
[Sakuzao Holy Minister, favorability +15. 】
Kurikawa Sana: "!!!"
When she heard this, Kurikawa Sana almost cut her finger.
what happened? ? ?
Why did Sakusaya-kun, who is just as aloof as Tsukishima Hotaru, suddenly gain so much favorability?!
Kurikawa Sana remembered that apart from the appointment to visit his kitten Koto-chan not long ago, she had not said much to him and they had not been in contact for a long time.
It's really shocking that Sakuhaya-kun suddenly gained so much favorability, wuwuwu... Kurikawa Sana was so moved that she subconsciously raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
In the blink of an eye, she had just complained in her mind about another equally aloof guy named Tsukishima when the aloof male god number one passed by her.
"Are you an idiot? Do you want to cry even harder?" Seeing her trying to raise her hand to wipe her tears after cutting onions, Tsukishima Hotaru frowned and reached out to hold her tightly.
Kurikawa Sana: QAQ
Seeing this scene, several people not far away were instantly shocked. Gong Shuangzi put down the things in his hands and rushed over!
Miya You took the knife from Kurikawa Sana's hand, "Sana-chan! Onions, right? Let me help you cut it!"
"Tsukino-kun from Karasuno, right? I won't bother you with Sana's affairs. You can let go of her hand." Miyaji said with a cold expression.
Tsukishima Hotaru: "...Senior, my last name is Tsukishima."
Miyaji: "Okay Tsukikawa-kun."
Tsukishima Hotaru: “…”
"Ahhh why is this onion so spicy!!"
"Stupid You, are you a pig? Don't you know that you have to put onions in water when cutting them?!"
Seeing the chaos over here, Koutarou came over curiously, "It looks like there's a lot of fun over there! Akagi, let's go over there and eat!"
"Kuroo-senpai..." Akaashi Kyoji followed helplessly.
"Oh my, this big stew is really interesting."
Kurooo Tielang also curled his lips and pulled Guzhua Momo to watch the show together.
Kageyama Tobio also came over with Hinata Shoyo. The black-haired boy bowed to the senior and said, "Senior, in return for playing basketball with me, please let me grill meat for you!"
Ushijima Wakari, who had also been invited by the Moriren High School coach and Nekomata's coach to stay and eat barbecue, also stepped forward and nodded to the black-haired girl. "Kurikawa-san, I also have something very important to say to you."
Kurikawa Sana was so surprised that her mouth opened into an O shape.
at the same time.
Seeing Kita Shinsuke surrounded by a crowd of people: “…”
A large group of people suddenly rushed up, several of them were particularly tall and strong, so that the figure of the girl who was originally within his reach was submerged in them and completely disappeared.
Kita Shinsuke fell silent.
The fist is hard.
What's going on with each of them?
Don’t you have your own manager?!
