Junior High School
Hinata Aoi paused with her hand holding the volleyball, feeling that the senior opposite her inexplicably had a gangster temperament.
She picked up the ball to ask the senior if he still wanted it, not to use the ball to take revenge on him.
I was just being lazy and didn't want to use my laptop to communicate, but I didn't expect it to cause such a big misunderstanding... Maybe I should develop some tacit understanding.
Hinata Aoi, who didn't want to be misunderstood, still felt that it was too troublesome to speak in a notebook every time, so she thought that she could interact more with the teammates in the venue to help them get used to her body language.
Suddenly, I remembered that I was participating in a club activity, so I could just take out my phone and type:
"Excuse me, is this ball still usable?"
When the senior saw this, he realized that he had made a mistake. His face turned red with embarrassment and he waved his hands frantically, saying "No, no". But the next second, he stopped waving his hands, took the volleyball away and ran away.
The words and actions were completely out of sync, and after a series of moves, Hinata Aoi was left staring at her empty hands in a daze.
"Are you okay?"
Hearing the noise, Kageyama Tobio ran over to confirm.
Hinata Aoi came back to her senses and continued typing on her phone:
"It's fine."
It would be better to say that the senior looked more like he had something to do.
"I'm glad you're okay..."
After awkwardly pausing for a few seconds, Kageyama spoke again: "Um... I'm sorry!"
Hinata Aoi was stunned by his serious attitude.
?
She had only had contact with this senior twice.
Once at a vending machine, once at a recruitment event, I don’t remember what this senior did that requires him to apologize?
Hinata Aoi didn't recall clearly, while Kageyama was immersed in his own self-blame and started talking:
"I shouldn't have told you that you could sign up for the volleyball club that day... I'm so sorry!"
On the day of recruitment, he didn't know about Hinata Aoi's physical condition. He was just thinking over and over again whether the club should recruit a female manager this year. Unexpectedly, he gave the wrong advice to his junior.
Yes, he did not think that Hinata Aoi's physical condition was suitable for being a manager of the men's volleyball club. In his opinion, this was not a good choice and she would face pressure from all aspects.
Especially in terms of communication, people like him who can speak always feel that they can't explain things clearly to others. People like Hinata Aoi who can't speak will of course have even more difficulties and troubles.
In short, Kageyama Tobio feels that it is his responsibility for Hinata Aoi to join the men's volleyball team, and it is his duty to set things right.
He said bluntly, "You are not suitable to be a manager in the volleyball club. I can talk to the coach for you."
Let him help the junior girl bear the pressure of communicating with the coach!
Sunflower:......
She was carefully observing Kageyama Tobio's expression the whole time.
There was no sarcasm or jokes, his eyes were firm and he looked at her with integrity, as if he was really speaking to her seriously.
Only then did I confirm that I was not being bullied, but was listening to the advice from my senior.
It was also the first time I met someone who was so sincere and yet so good at speaking.
If a sensitive person heard this short sentence, they would feel that the senior was questioning her ability. He tried to dissuade her from joining the volleyball club on the first day and refused to accept someone with communication difficulties as a manager of the volleyball club.
But Hinata Aoi could see his sincerity and understood that he was really thinking about her, but the way he expressed it was strange... and it made her angry.
After hearing this, I felt like I should be angry, but at the same time, I could understand the feeling of frustration.
"Thank you, Senior. I can make my own judgment."
Perhaps writing down something as harsh as "Don't meddle in other people's business" on a piece of paper and showing it to Kageyama would help him understand that Hinata Aoi is not as fragile as he thought.
But Hinata Aoi is not the kind of person who would "say" that kind of words, so when this string of words typed on the mobile phone fell into Kageyama's eyes, it was just telling him that the junior was sorry to bother him.
He lived a very logical life, and he opened his mouth to say something without giving up, but Hinata Aoi quickly took out a volleyball from the storage basket and put it in his arms.
"Senior, please don't delay training."
The strong order to expel him caused a slight pain in Kageyama's chest. He then realized that he seemed to have said something wrong and made his schoolmate angry, but he didn't know what he did wrong.
Kindaichi, who had been pretending to tie his shoelaces and look for something countless times, finally couldn't stand it anymore.
He felt a little worried when he saw Kageyama Tobio talking to Hinata Aoi alone.
What can this guy do with a school girl?
How can someone who only has volleyball in his mind remember to go and say hello to his schoolmate and catch up with the past?
With Kageyama's emotional intelligence, if he finds someone making the same mistake for the second time, he will go up to them and ask them why they don't learn from their mistakes and work harder... A person like him who doesn't know what euphemisms are won't say something wrong, right?
Kindaichi hesitated and walked to a place not too far away to observe the movement over there. He was relieved when he heard that Kageyama walked over to apologize... He couldn't be at ease at all!
Why did you apologize right away?!
What kind of person are you, Kageyama Tobio? How long have you known this schoolgirl and you've already done something that requires an apology?!
Kindaichi stood there in shock, and he didn't expect to hear Kageyama's even more explosive remarks.
...Kageyama, you really can't spit out any ivory!
Having finally freed himself from the petrified state, Kinda took a quick step forward, grabbed Kageyama's arm and dragged him away.
"What's wrong? What happened?"
"No, train hard!"
"Oh...you don't have to pull me, I can walk by myself."
You'd better go by yourself!
Seeing that they had been dragged for quite a distance, Kindaichi let go of Kageyama Tobio with disgust, complaining inwardly.
By the way, I won’t be infected if I stay close to an idiot, right?
Stop chatting with your schoolmates and focus on playing volleyball! You really have no need to keep your mouth shut.
Kageyama Tobio had no idea that Kindaichi was criticizing him, and actually thought that Kindaichi was there to urge him on, so he quickly returned to the field and continued to pass the ball to his teammates.
Kunimi, who had just been slacking off for a few minutes, saw Kageyama coming back, and he supported his heavy body and started lining up to wait for the spike.
Why call him back?
If someone wants to chat, let him chat!
Kunimi Hideo stared at Kindaichi's back with resentment, as if he wanted to see a hole in it.
It’s not that he doesn’t dare to be lazy when Kageyama is around, but Kageyama has never learned to ignore him. Whenever he sees him being lazy, he will come to reprimand him, which annoys him very much.
He finally had a chance to relax his ears for a while, but he was unexpectedly interrupted by Kindaichi.
Can we still be friends happily?
It was Kunimi Hide's turn in the line. Like the person in front of him, he threw the volleyball in the air, ran forward, jumped off the ground, and raised his hand to catch the volleyball that Kageyama had passed to him. However, the hitting point was too low compared to the height of the ball, so he did not use his full strength.
“Higher!”
Guo Jianying: "..."
Gao, you big-headed ghost, you are so tired every day!
…
The days in the volleyball club were busy and fulfilling. Hinata Aoi adapted unexpectedly quickly and truly experienced the fascinating aspect of volleyball - playing games.
The 12 people each have their own strengths and weaknesses. They are divided into two teams to come up with tactics to find the opponent's weaknesses. Especially since both sides are very familiar with each other's battle situation, it makes people anxious and worried.
When helping to record the scores, Hinata Aoi is always fascinated. She can see everyone's strengths and weaknesses, and even feels excited and regretful for the players on the field.
Sometimes I even want to pull someone off the field and teach him how to attack and defend.
Fortunately, the tolerance and patience she had cultivated over the years stopped her.
It was during such an ordinary daily life that the volleyball club welcomed an unexpected guest - a muscular man.
The macho man peeked in at the gymnasium door and walked into the volleyball club while saying "Excuse me".
All the members who saw him were shocked by his solid and strong appearance.
Nearly two meters tall, with a broad back, tight muscles, thick eyebrows, a square crew cut that looks like it was measured with a vernier caliper, and sexy, pouty lips... a true tough guy image! (Sexy pouty lips crossed out here)
He looks like a heavyweight sumo wrestler, but lacks the roundness of muscles wrapped in fat. In any case, he doesn't look right next to the tall and skinny volleyball club members.
"Excuse me, is your coach here? Or the captain is also fine." The muscular man asked in a rough voice.
He carries an imposing aura, giving people the feeling that he is here to challenge others.
The third-year seniors in the gymnasium had not arrived yet, and the first- and second-year players had the instinct of small animals to seek benefits and avoid harm. They were either admiring or fearing, and no boy came forward to reply for a while.
Senior Sato was still counting things in the utility room. Seeing that the team members were attracted by the tough guy and no longer paying attention to training, Hinata Aoi acted like a manager and blew the blue whistle hanging around her neck twice, "Toot!", signaling everyone to continue training. She would take over the tough guy's side.
The coach gave her the whistle so that she could use it to warn the players who were not training well.
Hinata Aoi usually doesn't brag, but if she does, no one will deny her that honor.
The volleyball club returned to its former order, except that a few gossipy players would glance at Takeo and Hinata Aoi from time to time.
"Are you...the manager of the men's volleyball team?"
Hinata Aoi nodded. The girl, who was about 1.6 meters tall and of medium height, looked petite in front of the nearly 2-meter-tall muscular man, but she raised her mobile phone without any panic.
The screen on the phone did not show what she wanted to say to the tough guy, but the interface of the sent messages.
The recipient was "Kindaichi (Captain)" and the content of the letter was "Senior, someone is looking for you."
Right in front of the tough guy, the message jumped from unread to read, and then the phone beeped twice, and a reply popped up:
"Okay, I'll come now."
After making sure the boy had seen it clearly, Hinata Aoi turned back to her phone screen and took a look at the reply herself, then pointed to the seats against the wall at the edge of the venue to indicate that the tough guy could take a break and wait.
"oh oh……"
The macho man was a little reserved in front of the girl. He took two steps in the direction of Hinata Aoi's finger, then realized he had forgotten something and turned back.
"Thank you, my name is Takeo Gouda, please give me your guidance!"
Gota·Real·Hardcore, shy version in front of girls, come on!
