"Hmph~"
The dark figure swiftly passed by Oshima Ryohei and headed straight for Hayakawa Sakuno's face. Just as it was about to hit her squarely, she instinctively raised her arms to block, managing to take the hit with a muffled groan. However, she was forced to retreat, her footsteps pounding heavily on the sand, creating ripples all over her body.
The volleyball was knocked away by the reaction force, and Ryohei Oshima seized the opportunity to spike it.
Because the two opposing players didn't expect the ball to be caught, they were able to pull back a point.
"Score!"
Kaori Ogasawara and the others were thrilled and couldn't help but cheer.
Ryohei Oshima excitedly wanted to turn around and give Sakuno Hayakawa a high-five, but he noticed that she was squinting one eye and looked rather unpleasant.
"What's wrong? Do you need to replace him?"
"Damn it! I can still hold on!"
Hayakawa Sakuno's arms were red, but she gritted her teeth and did not back down.
That guy named Tetsuo is really strong, and just now he needed to deflect the force of Oshima Ryohei's block. If he were to strike with all his might, Hayakawa Sakuno wasn't very confident that she could catch it again.
But what we lack right now is morale, and we absolutely cannot give up easily at this time.
Especially under the watchful eye of some idiot, I can't give up. I'll definitely make him look down on me!
"Go for it, Sakuno!"
Several girls were also inspired by Hayakawa Sakuno's belief and spoke up to cheer her on.
Because they had regained possession of the ball after scoring a point, Ryohei Oshima began serving.
Ryohei Oshima also took this into consideration, choosing to serve to Ade, who was relatively weaker in physique and strength.
In this way, the power of the return shot will not be enough to create so much pressure, and at the same time, it will reduce the burden on our own players. When that big guy makes a second urgent call, Oshima will be able to respond accordingly.
But his idea was good. As he served the ball, Adriano, who was facing the ball head-on, did not choose to intercept it directly. Instead, he put his hands together and hit the ball directly above himself.
What followed was, of course, Iron Man's second smash!
"careful!"
Upon seeing this, Ryohei Oshima's throat tightened, and his previously confident face turned green.
"Bang!"
Iron Man's smash arrived as expected, but this time the accuracy was slightly lacking. It only grazed Hayakawa Sakuno's thigh before slamming heavily onto the beach, kicking up a cloud of sand.
Even so, Hayakawa Sakuno's back was already covered in cold sweat.
As the person involved, she was quite certain that if she had been hit by that blow, she would probably have been completely destroyed like Yao.
"Are you playing ball or fighting?"
Kaori Ogasawara was a little angry and started shouting in the rest area.
"Playing volleyball is inherently a physical sport, so some injuries are normal, right? If you're not mentally prepared, I suggest you just admit defeat!"
With the girl in the leather jacket backing him up, Ade seemed determined to turn against the group, especially regarding the punishment mentioned earlier, which he was quite looking forward to!
Thinking of this, his gaze began to scan the swimsuits of several girls without restraint, his eyes gleaming with a visible heat.
This scene naturally did not escape Hayakawa Sakuno's eyes. She was so angry that she gritted her teeth and wished she could grab a handful of sand and throw it directly into the other person's eyes, and then rub the other person's head back and forth on the beach.
But... she looked at her bright red arms and immediately became dejected again.
That big guy next to me is really too strong, it looks like we're really going to lose, what should we do!
"Tetsuo, treat them well."
Seeing the fear on Hayakawa Sakuno's face, Ade's smugness only grew stronger.
In this round, it was Iron Man's turn to serve.
Upon hearing that it was this guy again, Hayakawa Sakuno couldn't help but tremble slightly. Only by personally taking the ball from this guy could she understand just how terrifying he was.
So what if I die!
"Come on!" Hayakawa Sakuno blushed and tried her best to encourage herself.
"Wait a moment!"
Just as the opponent was about to serve, Junichi Sei, who was in the rest area, suddenly called for a stop.
"Let's take a break for halftime."
Junichi Sei stood up, showing neither joy nor sorrow.
Iron Man paused, looked at the girl in the leather jacket, and she nodded.
Hayakawa Sakuno and Oshima Ryohei were substituted off the field, but the latter couldn't help but mutter to himself, "There are a total of four halftime breaks, and we've only had three rounds so far. It's such a waste!"
Kaori Ogasawara said impatiently, "Oshima, can't you shut up?"
Turning to Junichi Sei, she smiled and said, "Sei-kun, do you have another good idea?"
"..." Ryohei Oshima opened his mouth, but ultimately said nothing.
Ogasawara was just a little playful, but Se-kun is a trustworthy man. It's okay, I can do it!
Junichi looked the two of them over and over again, and couldn't help but sigh with regret.
If this system can detect what men dislike, then I won't have to worry about food and drink.
Junichi knew this wasn't the time for jokes, and seeing everyone looking at him, he revealed his plan: "From now on, whether it's serving or receiving, we'll focus all our attention on that Iron Man..."
"What?! What a terrible idea!"
Ryohei Oshima cried out in surprise.
"Oshima-kun, please shut your mouth from this moment on!"
Shiina Hitomi said without any anger.
"..."
Within this team, Hitomi Shiina rarely speaks casually, but when she does, it means she's not joking.
The crowd rarely saw Shiina Hitomi speak in such a forceful tone, but they inexplicably felt convinced.
Shiina Hitomi then nodded to Jun Shise, signaling him to continue.
Junichi smiled and revealed his plan, while the girls' expressions changed repeatedly, all showing disbelief.
Finally, Junichi waved to Sakuno Hayakawa one last time.
Hayakawa Sakuno rolled her eyes in displeasure, but still obediently approached.
Before Hayakawa Sakuno could react, a warm, moist breath rushed into her neck, turning into a tingling electric current that instantly drained half of her strength.
"You bastard..."
Startled, she instinctively tried to dodge, but then she heard the other person's voice in her ear: "Wait a minute, when you hit the ball..."
A moment later, Hayakawa Sakuno, having heard something, blushed and her eyes sparkled: "Really?"
Junichi nodded with a smile: "Go ahead!"
Hayakawa Sakuno was immediately encouraged and prepared to set off again.
But as soon as she stood up, she found that half of her body was already weak and limp. Her legs buckled and she fell onto the beach.
"Ah~"
Junichi reacted quickly, grabbing the other person's shoulders in time: "Are you alright?"
"Let...let me go!"
Feeling the other person's burning hot hands, Hayakawa Sakuno felt inexplicably flustered; everyone else was still nearby!
So, despite her weak body, she tried to struggle to get up, feeling ashamed.
That bastard, he must have done that on purpose!
[Ding! Hayakawa Sakuno's dislike level +1!]
Junichi didn't think much of it and released the other person as instructed, his face full of innocence.
Hayakawa Sakuno glared at him fiercely, and said in embarrassment and anger, "I'll settle the score with you after the match!"
But as soon as she turned around, she involuntarily clutched her chest, her heart pounding frighteningly fast!
