Chapter 116: It’s not about passion or enthusiasm. The day before the competition,…
The day before the game, in the evening.
"I didn't expect to meet Shiratorizawa so soon." He'd already thought about this when he found out he'd been assigned to the same team. But the day actually came, it still felt a bit strange. Terushima, hands folded behind his head, sighed slightly, "I wonder if I'll be able to have a good time."
“…”
Dongshan, who was walking beside him, scratched his cheek and said, "I'm going to lose miserably."
Terushima was silent for a few seconds, then his expression suddenly turned resentful. "What nonsense are you talking about? Of course I have to win. Only by winning can we continue playing."
"But that's Shiratorizawa, Shiratorizawa... there's Ushijima," Niki joined the conversation, making some random shapes with his fingers on his chest, "and Shinichi-kun."
"We even played a training match with Shinichi-kun before."
Speaking of which, the opponent's serve and pass are still vivid in my mind. At that time, I felt that Kenjo Shinichi's ability was incredibly strong and his face was so handsome. Ebata Kazuma (offensive attacker) clenched his fists and closed his eyes, "Incredibly handsome skills! I want it!"
Actually, I also want to live with that face once, damn pond noodles!
Tu Tang poured cold water on them, "There's no point in wanting it, it belongs to someone else."
Numajiri looked thoughtful, then looked at Fuki Joharu who was playing with Toyama and Terushima not far ahead, and then pulled him over.
They walked out of the school together. This action seemed a little abrupt, and people around them kept casting curious glances at them.
Numajiri said seriously, "We can send Joharu over and then have Shinichi come over."
The captured Erqi: "Huh?"
Others: ...
No, regardless of whether they will accept it or not, aren't you selling your teammates too readily?
Only Terushima's eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted Futaki's shoulder vigorously, "That's it! Joharu, it all depends on you!"
Futari struggled to break free, "Huh? Why me? Terushima, go change yourself!"
"You're the only setter here!"
"They're all pretty much the same! Who would be so divided in 2v2?"
Tutang:……
Can you please stop talking? Hearing the laughter from the students passing by, the first-year libero showed a desperate expression.
Misaki and Okutake were walking at the back and couldn't help laughing when they saw this scene, but after laughing they got to the point.
"Misaki," Okutake Joji paused, "I'll be counting on you for next year."
He could only stay for another half a year until the next IH, and the rest of the year could only be left to Misaki, the manager. As expected, the ones he was most worried about were these first-year students.
Misaki was stunned for a moment, "Okay..."
Looking back, the remaining sophomores were also looking at her. The black-haired sophomore spiker smiled and made a cheering gesture, "Please, Manager."
This is the last of the simple and robust ones... Okutake thought, why not change the banner to something lively and cheerful before we leave? Otherwise, I feel like the reputation of Jozenji Temple will become strange.

October 25th, morning, warm-up time.
When Midorikawa came in with the cheering team, the contestant had not arrived yet. He was probably in the preparation room next door. This time, in addition to wearing the silly "Shin Ichi-Mikoto" headscarf, Shinomiya also took an extra cheering fan, and then distributed it to the people around him, and finally left one for Midorikawa.
Shinomiya: "This is the latest version for you. How about it? I treat you very well, right, Axing."
Midorikawa: ...
Looking at the cheering fan that had been stuffed into his hand, he swallowed the words of rejection that were about to come out of his mouth.
Never mind, just take it. But looking at the words on it... Midorikawa had a new doubt, "Do you buy this fan wholesale...?"
Shinomiya looked very proud. "The latest model is printed with the handwriting of Shinichi-sama. It looks very artistic, doesn't it?"
Midorikawa:.
Midorikawa was silent for a few seconds, thinking to himself, no wonder it's so much uglier than before, where did those crooked, elementary school student handwriting come from?
Shinomiya's idol filter was as thick as a mountain. He was probably about to explain how they got Kenshiro Shinichi's autograph, but the next second, he saw this guy's eyes change, and then he started to applaud along with the fan club that came earlier.
Midorikawa: ...That's enough.
He was already missing the peaceful times he had spent with Yunohama.
He was a little overwhelmed by being with his fanatical fans.

"It seems like there are more people coming today." Looking at the audience entering the venue one after another, Shirabu took out a volleyball from the hoop and spun it around, looking at Seni Eita who was standing not far from him, "...Seni-senpai, are you really okay?"
I was just thinking about it when I was getting changed. I have dark circles under my eyes. Did I not sleep well last night? However, as the more reliable of the second-year seniors, Senmi Eita has never had such a problem before. For a moment, Shirabu couldn't help but feel a little worried.
Senmi: ...
Senmi: “…It’s okay.”
It was after he called Kenjo Shinichi that he had a nightmare. He thought that he was tormented by the sound of chopping trees in his dream all night. His sister was still talking about hearing him talking in his sleep last night during breakfast.
Seto sighed, looking helpless in the face of his junior's worry, "It's really okay, go warm up."
Then he sighed, "I wish every junior could be like you, Kenjiro."
Before Shirabu could say anything, Senmi added, "It's not bad to look like Midorikawa and Taichi." The way he sighed looked like an old grandfather holding a teacup, with a faint Buddha's light behind him.
Shirabu: ...
I understand. It’s Kenjo Shinichi’s fault again.
He aimed the ball at the blue-haired setter, who was standing on the sideline waving to the fans, and then, expressionlessly, hit him in the back.
The farmer who was inexplicably beaten: ...
The farmer turned around and found that it was the windweed. At that moment, the other party was showing a very amiable smile and moving his mouth. Surprisingly, he could understand what he was saying.
'Xinyi, come back and warm up.'
farmer:.
The farmer feels that the parsnips have not been in a good mood recently.

Jo Zenji arrived later than Shiratorizawa. When they arrived, the first thing they heard was the cheers of Shiratorizawa's cheerleaders and their own cheerleaders. The two cheerleaders sang in unison, one would say "Jo Zenji" and the other would respond with "Shiratorizawa". If you didn't know, you would think they were very friendly to each other - if you ignored the expression of their cheerleader.
Ao Yue:......
Is it really okay to look so ferocious? Can't you manage your image? Although it seems like there's no official broadcast for this match, I just realized someone from the TV station is adjusting the camera on the sidelines.
Ao Yue was silent for a few seconds and felt sympathy for their cheerleading leader in his heart.
After all, apart from the TV stations, from the video of Kenjo Shinichi that they collected yesterday, we can see how many people will record the video, which means that the dark history will be shown from different angles.
Attention quickly shifted from the cheerleading team back to the main topic. Shiratorizawa's warm-up was in full swing, and the voice of the conductor could be heard.
"You should have jumped higher over there," Ou Yue happened to hear this sentence when he went to get the ball, "Can you do it?" His tone was not cautious, but rather a bit stiff to others.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that the person speaking was Shiratorizawa's No. 9 setter, and the person opposite him was... uh, a second-year student?
The one who looks a lot like Benkei.
Ao Yue:......
Is it really okay to treat your seniors like this? So, Jiancheng-kun actually has this kind of personality, a little too outspoken. Looking at them now, their first-year students are actually quite well-behaved. After all, besides wanting to play volleyball, they don't have any other bad habits... Maybe they're a little slow with words, and they occasionally get into trouble. Previously, for some reason, they, the second-year students, had to apologize to the dean together...
He thought as he walked, and then found that there didn't seem to be much difference.
Ao Yue:......
No wonder they were able to play together before, they were all so-called "problem teenagers".
Ohira, who also noticed the actions of General Jozenji:
It seemed as if he was inexplicably sympathized with, but looking at Jian Cheng Xinyi who nodded in front of him with a sincere look that was a little silly, the words on the tip of his tongue turned into: "Yeah, sure."
Then, small flowers began to appear around Kenjo Shinichi, visible to the naked eye.
It seemed that his mood suddenly improved, probably because Senmi's sudden change of seat when getting on the bus made him feel a little uneasy. Ohira Shion stared at the junior who was taller than him and felt that the other party was not that difficult to understand.
Yamagata observed their movements while padding the ball, catching it the moment it fell, then walked past, seemingly unconcerned: "Someone said before that Ying was too doting... I think I forgot a little."
"Who is it?"
Dahei Shiyin:......
Ohira Shion pondered for a moment: "No, that's different." This was a reasonable action he made after observation, which was different from Setami's unconditional indulgence of Kenjo. Moreover, this was for the sake of the competition. Not only did Kenjo have to do his best in the competition, he also had to try his best to cooperate.
Yamagata smiled, then walked over to another group of people who were training and joined in catching the ball.
Dahei Shiyin:......
I always feel like I'm being laughed at.

After returning to his own half, Ou Yue received shining eyes from his family.
"How's it going, Captain?" Terushima looked excited. "Shinichi-kun is doing well, isn't he?"
Okutake: "...That's not wrong, though."
Terushima continued, "Then we should throw Joharu over right now and have Shinichi-kun change into our clothes."
Dongshan took out a Jozenji team jersey from his bag that was not in the starting lineup.
Ao Yue:......
Wait, where did you get the clothes?
As if he could see what his captain was thinking, Iizaka put his hands on his hips and said, "When Miyazaki-senpai quit the club, I asked for his replacement clothes. They look pretty good, don't they?" Miyazaki was a third-year senior who quit the club after IH.
It was obvious that the other first-year students were also seeing this dress for the first time, and they immediately gave Iizaka a thumbs-up.
"Well done, Xinyi. Okay, let's grab Xinyi-kun in one go!"
"oh!!!"
Aoyue had a headache: "You guys go warm up and stop making trouble."
Ishikawa comforted him, "It's normal for first-year students to be a little passionate."
...This is not a matter of passion or passion!
