Chapter 138 Tsubakihara 1 "Is Koharu late?" ...
"Is Xiaochun late?"
Haru Miura spotted the Karasuno cheerleaders over there immediately. She rushed over, stood in front of Chrome, and looked at the field.
Chrome handed Koharu a custom-made light stick that she had specially sent over the past few days. It had Karasuno's tag on it and a lifelike drawing of a crow.
"No, Karasuno just came on to warm up."
"Oh, Haru thought everyone would make more Tsuna-san-related products?" Haru Miura looked at the two sticks that made a crisp sound when tapped. Apart from being orange in color, they didn't seem to have anything special about them.
Basil popped his head out from the crowd, "Because this is Karasuno's match, Miura-kun, you can take a closer look at the light stick, it has something unique on it."
Upon hearing this, Xiaochun quickly looked at the two sticks in her hand. Hmm, it seems like there's a button sticking out from them?
She touched it with her finger, "Is it here?"
Pressing the switch, the light stick that originally displayed the name Karasuno began to flash the names of each member in a loop, and Haru Miura's eyes lit up with surprise.
"So it can change after all?"
Basil nodded. "Yes, but it won't loop after the match starts. The main controller will control the names based on the situation on the field."
His eyes swept around, and he spotted Irie Shoichi huddled in a corner among the crowd.
"At that time, it will be under Irie-kun's control."
Irie raised his hand tremblingly and waved it a few times to indicate that he was still alive.
Johnny, who was standing next to her, rummaged through the first-aid kit and pulled out some stomach medicine. "Are you really okay, Irie-kun? You're being way too anxious."
Shoichi Irie clutched his stomach. Logically, he should have been cheering on his friend, but the thought of being in charge of the cheering made his vision go black. He took the medicine...
"I'll be fine in a bit."
Bai Lan hugged Yuni, both of them sporting new tattoos today. Cartoon stickers of the numbers 2 and 7 were affixed to the opposite cheek of their existing tattoos. He excitedly rushed into Jiang Zhengyi's room and said...
"Since Xiaozheng is nervous, then I'll take care of it~"
Gokudera Hayato forcefully turned his head back, "If you were to press the button, normally it wouldn't be anyone else's name that would be chosen; it would all be the Tenth Generation."
Coach Ura, who had been brought along by the Vongola, and the children stood beside them. One of the children asked Gokudera a question in confusion.
"Why don't you control it, brother?"
He remembered how seriously this older brother cheered during the county-level competition.
“Because if it were me, it wouldn’t be anyone else’s turn,” Gokudera Hayato said matter-of-factly.
...
The child suddenly realized that he chose the nervous older brother because only the other person would obediently switch names.
Haru Miura also glanced at Shoichi Irie, who had once again become the commander, before shifting his gaze back to the field. Wow, Karasuno's uniform was orange today, which matched their light stick perfectly.
She noticed that the opposing team hadn't entered the arena yet; only Karasuno's team was on the field, and Mr. Tsuna and the rest of Karasuno's team were warming up.
"Hey, why isn't Hinata-kun wearing shoes?"
Miura Haru watched the middle blocker hopping around barefoot on the court and thought it was some kind of unique warm-up technique by the opponent.
"Because Hinata's backpack was mistakenly taken by someone else," Chrome said, looking at Hitoka Yachi who was anxiously waiting on the field. Just now, the girl was discussing with Chrome who should go on the field, but he insisted that Chrome go on. In terms of mentality, Hitoka thought Chrome was much better than her.
But Kurom refused, saying, "Rinka is the manager who is most suitable to be on the field."
I believe the boss thinks so too.
Upon hearing this, Miura Haru exclaimed "Eh!" and then muttered to himself, "How could such a disruptive moment occur before the match even begins? I wonder if Hinata-kun can handle this, and will the incident involving his teammates also affect the team's overall mentality?"
As she spoke, she raised the camera hanging around her neck and pointed it at the barefoot boys warming up on the field. "If we win the game, it will be very interesting to use as behind-the-scenes footage later."
Haru Miura didn't ask for a solution. Even if there really wasn't one, the Vongola family could expedite the delivery of a pair of shoes, even if they just didn't fit properly.
The reliable professional team she mentioned is warming up for the competition. After taking stomach medicine, Irie Shoichi felt much better and adjusted his mood to stand in the front row. Next to him was probably a controller with the word "control" on it. But does a controller need to be so big?
A sense of unease arose in Miura Haru's heart, but before she could delve deeper, she saw the other person pull out a conductor's baton from his backpack.
Wait, is there anywhere here that needs a conductor's baton?!
Haru Miura suddenly turned his head and noticed that among the layers of people, there seemed to be a few musical instruments that shouldn't be there at all.
But something seemed to be interfering with her thoughts. Miura Haru subconsciously felt that this was reasonable, and then looked away.
Irie Shoichi took a deep breath. "Everyone, just do it the way we rehearsed before."
"yes!"
Lambo and Ippei couldn't wait any longer. The two of them grabbed small sticks. Gokudera Hayato didn't make things difficult for the children, but the others wouldn't be able to escape.
The melodious and stirring music floated above the entire venue as Irie Masahiro began to move, startling Miura Haru.
What's that making such a loud noise?!
The children were also stunned, asking, "What happened? Did you step on someone's speaker?"
However, Irie Shoichi only did a sound check to confirm that there were no problems before putting away his baton and telling everyone to conserve their energy.
They are determined to fight Karasuno to the very end.
Like Miura Haru, Kujo Ike immediately spotted the Karasuno cheerleaders upon entering. There was no way he could miss them; with such a vast sea of orange and the Karasuno logo on it, it was impossible for him and Matsukawa Saki not to notice them. Kujo, engrossed in the music, quickly abandoned Matsukawa and rushed over to get the sheet music.
Gokudera Hayato thought it was a good thing to have another person cheering for Karasuno, so he readily provided the sheet music.
Matsukawa Saki looked at this area with deep emotion.
"I didn't think there would be many people coming to cheer for Karasuno, but both seats are full."
The equally shocked child next to him explained, "There shouldn't be so many people, but half of them are Sawada-nii's family!"
Another, slightly taller boy said in a low voice, "I thought that during the previous matches, it was just Tsuna's entire family, but today there are several times more people than before. Did they invite all their aunts and uncles?"
Among Varian's group, who were sitting relatively close to them, Xanxus, who seemed to be one of Sawada Tsunayoshi's extended family, had a gloomy expression. He wished he could blow up the two childish sticks in his hand, but he didn't. He just held them in his hand, and the names on them played on a loop.
Tsubakihara entered amidst that massive commotion, while free agent Bei Gualiang shrank back.
"Wow, it's really lively over in Karasuno."
Captain Echigo Eiji gently patted him on the shoulder, "Then let's call back, relax."
The shouts came from above Hinata. He looked up and saw that it was Kiyoko Shimizu who had brought back his shoes.
Haru Miura subconsciously raised his camera to record the passing of the camera between his senior and junior on the other side. The senior's chest heaved up and down, clearly still breathless from the exercise. She rested for a while before walking over to them.
Shimizu was startled when she saw Koharu, nodded to her as a greeting, and then looked at Chrome.
"Thank you Chrome for the car, it was a huge help." The girl tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear as she ran and gave a faint smile.
Chrome shook his head. "It's what we should do."
Hinata bounced around on the field a few times after getting the shoes, saying, "I feel so much more at ease with these shoes on!"
Tadashi Yamaguchi was still shaken. "I'll definitely be more careful next time!"
Sawada Tsunayoshi looked at the two of them helplessly, then caught a glimpse of the setter looking up at the overhead light. He picked up the ball and walked over.
"Will Kageyama be able to adapt? The simulated environment in the hotel may still be somewhat different from the actual environment."
Kageyama lowered his head, closed his eyes briefly, and then looked back. "The difference isn't significant; it has almost no impact."
They have also played in many different places and discovered the lighting problem a few days ago. Kageyama's professionalism has been adapted to it in the past few days. Although there are still some differences in the venue, it is within the range of adaptation.
He explained to Sawada Tsunayoshi, who nodded, "It would be best if you could adapt."
After saying this, he pointed to Nishitani Yu and Tanaka behind him, "Even if you can't adapt, the two seniors are eager to give their juniors a reliable shoulder to lean on."
Kageyama looked over and smiled too.
Sawada Tsunayoshi found it rather unusual, "So you can laugh normally after all."
Kageyama:?
Sugawara Koji listened to their conversation while rubbing his palms together, and said, "You guys are really not nervous at all."
Kageyama asked again, "I still get nervous, but not now."
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it, because once he did, Sawada Tsunayoshi's face turned deathly pale. "I feel so nervous I'm about to throw up."
The senior's eyes widened. "Why aren't you nervous? Wait, did I say something I shouldn't have!"
"Because this won't be our final destination."
Sawada Tsunayoshi waved to his senior to indicate that he was alright, and then echoed Kageyama, "That's right! As long as I think about being with everyone, I feel like I can keep going."
Seeing that Sawada was truly alright, Sugawara breathed a sigh of relief, then patted his two juniors on the head and smiled.
"After hearing what you all said, I'm not so nervous anymore."
Almost as soon as the Tsubakihara Academy students stepped onto the field, they felt as if they were in a hunting ground, with the fierce gazes of hunters fixed upon them. Main attacker Maiko Yuuji gasped in shock.
"They're the ones who beat Shiratorizawa!"
The captain comforted him, "At least we don't have to go up against Ushijima Wakatoshi."
Maiko thought for a moment, "Oh, right!"
"I don't want to face Niu Ruo!"
No sooner had they spoken than a dull thud sounded behind them. They turned around immediately and saw the ball bounce in mid-air, flashing blindingly under the lights.
The main attacker's throat was dry. "Hey, this guy is no easier to deal with than Niu Ruo!"

Author's Note: I'm having some trouble writing about the competition, and JJ (the platform) has a rule against writing about the original story. I'm currently struggling with how to weave the plot together.
But I've thought it through enough, so I'm going to finish it in one go! [Sprinkling flowers]
