Chapter 1 Chapter 1 New School
At seven o'clock in the morning, the Jieyuan family was still in chaos.
Moving boxes were still stacked in the hallway. Yuihara's mother, Mikiko, was wielding a spatula in the seven-square-meter open kitchen, preparing breakfast for her husband and daughter. Yuihara's father, Nagatomo, was in the living room catching a cat, muttering, "Dahu-chan, give me back my car keys!"
The black and white purebred cow cat held the key in its mouth and jumped nimbly on the cardboard boxes in the living room, making whining sounds from time to time, as if mocking its human father for being unable to do anything with it.
There was also a black and gray striped tabby cat, which was a little smaller than the more than ten-pound big tiger. It squatted on the platform between the first and second floors and licked its paws. It could watch the battle downstairs and also see its human sister Yuhara Xiangcheng upstairs frantically packing her schoolbag and trying on her school uniform.
This is the first day that Yuihara Kaoru officially reports to Rikkai University High School in Fujisawa City.
Although other students have already started school for two days, it's all because their family is a little slow in moving. The moving company took two days to pack and sort, and to this day there are still a lot of boxes that haven't been unpacked.
The fact is that Ms. Mikiko is a hoarder. She has been living in Tokyo with Yuhara Nagatomo for 20 years since her marriage. She has unknowingly accumulated too many things and is reluctant to throw them away.
Since she was the one who made the decisions at home, Yuhara Nagatomo and Xiangcheng could only direct the movers to pack the boxes as needed.
As a result, I missed the start of Rikkai University's school term.
Now, Yuihara Kaoru is about to face the scene that people with social anxiety fear the most - standing on the podium alone to introduce herself.
Thinking about being stared at by her classmates, who she didn't know, made her want to pack her things up again and go back to Tokyo.
Of course, my father, who has been promoted to director of the cardiology department at a private hospital here, probably wouldn't agree.
If it wasn't for her realizing her dream from junior high school, her father would have agreed to come here to develop his career long ago.
So...cheer up, Yuihara Kaoru.
The family quickly finished a hearty Western breakfast in the restaurant. Nagatomo Yuhara picked up the car keys on the ground that Dahu had finally grown tired of playing with, and went to work first. Before leaving, he did not forget to encourage his daughter: "Be brave, Orange!"
Yuhara Kaoru nodded heavily: "Oh!"
The remaining mother and daughter couldn't help but speed up their meal. After finishing their meal, Mikiko went to clean up the dishes and pack lunch boxes for Yuihara Xiangcheng. Xiangcheng tried her best to avoid the two cats circling under her feet and filled them with breakfast and water.
"Da Hu, your bowl is here. Stop stealing from the little monster, okay?"
The fat cat said nothing and just ate other cats' food first.
"Hey, hey, that little monster eats it first!"
The tsundere cat turned and walked away.
"Ah! You two are so annoying!" Jieyuan Xiangcheng was so annoyed by the two little ancestors that he had no choice but to carry Dahu to his bowl first, then smooth down the monster's fur and beg it to eat a little...
Ms. Mikiko put on her coat and shook her head helplessly. Moving or not would not affect the two cats at home at all!
"Let's go Xiangcheng, I'll take you to school first!"
"I'm coming!" Yuihara Kaoru carried her schoolbag and lunch box, and followed her mother out of the side door of the new house. There was just enough space for two cars to be parked here. One of the cars was an SUV that had just been driven away by Yuihara Nagatomo, and the other was Mikiko's red car that she used to go to work.
The car started and arrived at the entrance of Rikkai University in about five minutes. Yuihara Xiangcheng couldn't help but admire her mother who had decided on the location of her new home. It was amazing that she could find a house that suited her aesthetic and was super close to her school in such a short time!
Mikiko was very pleased with her daughter's praise. She stroked her daughter's chestnut hair, which had just grown into a high ponytail, and said, "Go ahead. Remember to go to the training office first to check on the class placement and stuff. Good luck!"
"Yeah, goodbye, Mom!" Although she still felt scared deep down, but she had experience in participating in competitions, Yuihara Xiangcheng let out a long sigh, put on an indifferent face that didn't care about the people around her, and walked quickly into the school under the curious eyes of her classmates.
She had taken an exam here a few days ago, and probably remembered that the teaching office should be on the corner of the third floor of the four-story teaching building facing it - ah, she found it.
After knocking on the half-open door and receiving the reply "Come in", Yuihara Kaoru approached the Dean's desk and said, "Hello, Mr. Tanaka. I'm Yuihara Kaoru, a first-year student who applied to report today."
"Ah, I remember you, Yuihara-san, an excellent volleyball player, right?" Tanaka, who is over fifty years old, has a big belly, but is very kind.
He pushed his glasses up, remembering this 173cm tall girl vividly. She was from Santa Maria College, a strong women's volleyball school in Tokyo, and happened to be the star spiker of the first team. At the end of last year, she won the honor of the U14 Women's Best Spiker.
The best result of the Rikkai University women's volleyball team in high school was third place in last year's county competition. It's a pity that the top two in the county competition can participate in the national spring high school. I hope that with the joining of Jieyuan, Rikkai University's performance will be able to reach a higher level.
Rikkai University is a school that places great emphasis on all-round development. Her athletic performance adds a lot of points to Yuihara Yuihara's performance. Mr. Tanaka also thinks her academic performance is not bad after seeing her academic performance. She has full marks in Chinese and English, but is slightly weaker in physics.
"Why don't you go to Class C, Yuihara-san? I'll contact your homeroom teacher, Ms. Kinomoto, for you."
"Thank you, Director!" Yuhara Kaoru stood aside, still feeling uneasy, waiting for Miss Kinomoto to take her to an unknown place...
So, standing at the classroom door, I listened to the energetic voice of Ms. Kinomoto, who had just graduated from university, saying like a spell: "Well, then, let's welcome Yuihara-san!"
Yuihara Kaoru, who tends to lose all expression when nervous, stepped into the classroom—
“So high!”
"Damn, it's much taller than me..."
Well, I'm used to it.
"Yuhara-san, please introduce yourself!"
"Okay, teacher," Yuihara bowed to the students and stood up, his eyes completely unfocused on the scene before him. "Hello everyone, my name is Yuihara Kaoru, I graduated from St. Maria College in Tokyo, and I'm good at volleyball."
As soon as he finished speaking, a girl excitedly said, "Why does it sound familiar? It's the best WS Yuihara Kaoru! Incredible!"
"Ah, thank you." Yuhara Kaoru looked at Miss Kinomoto as if asking for help.
Kinomoto received the signal and mentally concluded, "This kid is really introverted." He then glanced at the seats and said, "Yuhara-san, sit by the window. Is the seat behind Yukimura-san okay?"
The classmate named Yukimura raised his hand at the right time, and Yuihara Kaoru immediately walked over.
Ah, the most difficult scene is finally over.
only--
Yukimura turned around, his iris-purple hair swaying freely. His navy blue school uniform set off his fair skin, and his smiling almond-shaped eyes looked very gentle. "Hello, Yukihara-san. My name is Yukimura Seiichi. I look forward to your guidance in the future."
"Ah," Yukihara Kaoru, who was once again overwhelmed by enthusiasm, blinked hard, "Okay! Yukimura-kun."
"Oh, I want one too!"
The girl who just recognized Yuihara Kaoru, Sakurai Rika, leaned out from the seat to Yukimura Seiichi's right. "My name is Sakurai Rika, and I play volleyball too, but I'm the libero. Please be my good friend, Yuihara-san! I really loved your spikes and fake spikes in last year's match. They were so cool!"
Yuihara Kaoru finally smiled sheepishly: "Hello Sakurai..."
"Call me Sakurai or Rika, please," Sakurai Rika clasped her hands together, her round puppy eyes watery and hard to refuse. Yuhara Kaoru paused for a moment: "Okay then, Sakurai."
The lively Sakurai gave a thumbs-up: "Haha, it feels so great to be friends with my favorite contestants!"
Ah, is making friends such an easy thing?
So maybe she was a little too stressed out about high school life.
Seeing this, Yukimura Seiichi tilted his head: "In that case, you can also call me Yukimura~"
“Okay, okay!”
A boy who is good-looking and has a gentle personality must be very popular!
......
After four classes, lunch time finally arrived. As expected, Yuihara Kaoru was taken to the gymnasium where the volleyball club was located by her new friend Sakurai Rika and walked directly into the lounge.
"Today I'm the one keeping the lounge clean, so I have the key here~" Sakurai Rika showed off by shaking the jingling bunch of keys in her hand so that she could cultivate a good relationship with her new friend!
Well, even though the new friend seems a little cold and distant, she believes that under the shining light of her little sun, she will definitely be able to melt the knot!
I wonder when I can see Yuihara Kaoru looking like a king who looks down on everything on the court again!
Looking at Yuihara Kaoru eating her lunch box seriously, Sakurai Rika thought happily, such a good-looking friend - with eyes that look like a deer, sparkling and with upturned corners, he always looks at people in a confused manner.
On the court, she exudes a sharp and determined radiance, a spirit that fills her with energy. Her upper lip is thin, her lower lip plump and smooth like a peach, and her nose is unusually high, with a slight hump. Her cheeks are heart-shaped, and her chin is pointed, further enhancing her delicate features.
Why does she always have round eyes and a round face? Apart from "cute" and "very cute", I haven't heard any other comments like "beautiful" about her.
Noticing that Sakurai had been staring at her, Yuihara Kaoru swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Um, Sakurai-san, do you want to try some? I haven't touched this yet!"
Eating a good friend's bento? Sakurai's eyes lit up, and he dug a big spoonful into it without hesitation: "Wow, it's super delicious!"
"Yeah! My mom's cooking skills are pretty good, right?"
"Uh-huh!"
"Then eat more. I can't finish it all by myself."
"Okay~"
......
At the same time, eating together in the gardening classroom were Yukimura Seiichi and several of his friends, namely Sanada Genichirō and Yanagi Renji from Class 1A, and Niou Masaharu from Class 1D.
Yanagi Renji had just packed up his lunch box when he couldn't help but take out his notebook and asked Yukimura, "I heard there's a transfer student in your class?"
Yukimura nodded and wiped his mouth gracefully: "You wouldn't have thought it—we actually met once!"
"Oh?" Now the other two were also curious.
"Yuhara Kaoru."
"Ah, that's—" Yanagi Renji looked at Yukimura in shock: "Is that the volleyball game we watched after we came out of the training camp?"
