Chapter 120: Shiratorizawa vs. Jozenji (4) Match Alert...
Despite talking about having a good game, they actually suffered a crushing defeat in the first game - the score difference kept widening, and they almost lost the game by nearly double the score. However, compared with the terrible score, Jo Zenji's mental state was still pretty good. Shiratorizawa was a little tense in the second half of the game, mainly because the setter who was in charge of the overall situation was like a monster, speeding up the attack, and his mind was full of only attacking.
The first game ended quickly, but because of Kenshiro Shinichi's actions, all the members of Shiratorizawa were moving and sweating a lot. Fortunately, they seemed to be playing under such high pressure normally. Terushima standing in front of the net didn't even hear a sigh.
But he couldn't help but feel a little curious. He tilted his head and looked at the chestnut-haired outside hitter who had been rotated in across from him. It looked like number 12...? She must be a first-year like him. He thought for a few seconds, but the other player was about to turn around and leave. He also thought it would be foolish not to leave after the referee blew the whistle to let them clean up the court. But curiosity drove Terushima to grab the net. "Hey, number 12."
As the No. 12 outside hitter looked over, Terushima asked, "What did you give Shinichi-kun to drink?" To express his feelings, Terushima even used a different adjective, "It was like a sudden outburst."
Taichi Kawanishi:......
Ah, so it's about this.
He thought about the scene where the pause took place, and there was a strange pause for a moment, before he finally spoke it out fluently.
"...Maybe if you lose you have to eat bugs." said Taichi Kawanishi.
Terushima:?
Terushima tactical retreat.
Wait, you guys in Shiratorizawa have this kind of punishment mechanism?
No wonder he wins every battle.
Strange impressions increased,

During the short break, the farmer chose to relax. He brought plants to replenish his energy, but his current energy level was not yet at the point where he needed to rely on eating to replenish his strength.
As he stood there wondering why the mine was so bright—even though he wasn't wearing the glow ring, and he hadn't seemed to notice it before—Abigail came closer, holding the farmer's cup.
He looked a little embarrassed. Tendo behind him seemed to be cheering him up, waving a towel like a cheering stick. Ushijima was dodging with an expressionless face, his eyes also turning in their direction. The farmer suddenly became the center of attention.
farmer:?
The farmer was confused and stopped when Abigail was only an arm's length away from him. Abigail looked left and right, her eyes a little erratic, and said: "Jiancheng, you..."
He paused strangely before continuing, "I mean... uh, you..."
The farmer looked at him expectantly—was this Abigail's five-star plot?
Senmi: ...
Seto felt a little creeped out by the stare, but he still went on, "I mean, you don't have to eat bugs."
This sentence actually means to ask for peace. Maybe because of lack of sleep, his attitude towards Kenjo today can't be said to be very good. Just now, when he saw Kenjo Shinichi standing alone and staring at the ceiling, Semi felt a little guilty.
Did Jiancheng also understand what it meant to keep his head up and not cry? He had indeed gone a little too far today. After all, everyone makes mistakes. Jiancheng worked so hard, so it was okay to be a little naughty occasionally... Senjian handed over the water cup.
farmer:?
The farmer lowered his head, a little confused, and was about to take the cup of water: "I'm not planning on eating it."
Farmer: "Didn't you say 'next time'?"
Although the farmer's Chinese language skills were very poor, he was still able to understand what was being said, and insect meat actually had other uses, such as being used as bait for the fish.
This is what is called making the best use of resources, the farmer felt inexplicably moved.
Senmi: ...
Senmi:.
Senmi snatched the cup of water from Kenjo Shinichi's hand and walked back with an expressionless face.
farmer:……
The farmer slowly typed a question mark.
?
He found that he couldn't understand what Abi was thinking, which led to Kensho circling around Senmi Eita before the change of sides. The scene was actually a bit funny.
"A dog?" "A bit like it." "But Jiancheng, forget it, leave it alone." The remaining first-year students suddenly established a strange revolutionary friendship, whispering to each other about something, and what finally interrupted their communication was the order to start the game again.

After Setami's serve in the second game, Coach Washi Takumi took the opportunity to make a substitution. Logically, he should not have been allowed to leave the court so early, but because of Kenshiro Shinichi's organization of the attack in the early stage, some plans were disrupted. Although the score difference was still widening, it was not a good thing for saving energy.
The libero's burden was slightly lighter. Compared with the previous game, Yamagata's defensive pressure in this game was not that great. Instead, Ushijima and Ohira's tasks became heavier. At the same time, the second setter was also losing energy rapidly.
Semi and Shirabu took over, exchanged glances, and high-fived each other before leaving the court.
The first thing Shirabu did after coming on the court was to pat Kenjo Shinichi's back hard as he moved to the back row, but before the other party could react, he let go of his hand.
"Play well," Shirabu looked straight ahead, paused for a moment, and then added, "Don't think about those trivial things. Senmi-senpai is not angry."
After saying that, he walked to his seat and waited for Jozenji to serve.
After a long while, he finally heard Jian Cheng behind him say something as if he had suddenly realized something - "So Abi is angry?"
There was also the voice of Yamagata urging him to speak more quietly.
Shirabu: ...
The remaining Shiratorizawa: ...
You're so stupid, really.
When Shirabu looked forward, he found that the yellow-haired man from Jozenji was trying to hold back his laughter. The senior next to him was still helplessly asking him to be more careful. Seeing that Shirabu seemed to be staring at him, he nodded with a slightly apologetic look.
Shirabu exhaled.
Kenjo Shinichi had burdened them with too much, he thought mercilessly.
In short, this absurd farce finally ended with the defeat of Jozenji. When packing up, only Kenjo was cheerful alone, because the opponent of the next game had not yet been officially announced - Arai Gawa and Kazawa had reached the third round, each winning one game. At the same time, the game between Date Industry and Aoba Johsai also started.
Although the first-year students from Jozenji were a little sad, it was not time to say goodbye yet. As soon as the game ended, Terushima rushed over and he and Toyama each grabbed one of Kenjo's arms.
"That serve just now was really cool!" Dongshan smiled. Although his eyes were a little red, it was harmless. "Teach me later, Xinyi-kun."
Terushima patted him hard. "You've put a lot of pain in Axin's heart—his knees are still shaking!"
The farmer nodded. "Sorry."
Although his expression did not show any apology, it was full of "I will do it again next time"
The rest of the people rushed over, except for a few second-year students, and gathered around Kenjo Shinichi. Iisaka simply put the clothes he had saved on Kenjo, watched him put them on, and then threw the phone to the stunned manager Misaki.
"Manager!" Mubata called out, "Please help me take a picture!"
[I got the farmer's photo of the Jozenji version]
The farmer stared at the photo that Jo Zenji sent him, and it was unknown what expression he should make.
Tendou walked over, took a look, put his hand on his shoulder, and took a closer look. "This is a very good photo, Shinichi-kun."
The farmer clicked save and hummed.
"Let's take a picture with everyone in Shiratorizawa next time," Tendo said. "Now. Grab your lunch and go with us. Let's go check out Site A."
He blinked, "At least I know who my opponent will be in the final and the next game."
The young boy responded to him slowly, with his eyes bright as always: "Okay."

Venue A.
"No matter how many times I see it, I always feel that Oikawa's support is a bit exaggerated." Setami sat in the front row, next to him were Ohira Shion and Yamagata. As for Ushijima and Tendo, they went to get some water first and would come back later - but they would probably sit farther away from them, compared to Qingcheng and the others who were assigned to observe the next opponent. Anyway, after thinking for a while, Setami added, "Of course, Kenjo is similar."
Kenjo Shinichi was sitting in the row behind him. Kawanishi Taichi and Shirabu were coming later, reportedly because they had gone to the restroom. Midorikawa, a first-year student, also came with him and nodded in agreement when he heard what he said.
Yamagata complained, "There's no need to compare."
Ohira's attention was focused on the other side. "Is Date Gong's blocking ability a little better than IH's? The awareness of those two first-year students before was not at the same level as now."
"Click, click"
Senmi: "The training over the past summer has helped me grow a lot. Not only us, but others have also worked hard."
"Click, click, click"
"Same with Qingcheng," Yamagata said, "It seems like Oikawa and the others' skills have matured a bit."
"Click, click, click"
Specifically, it's shown in the chemistry between him and number 16, but also with Iwaizumi. Oikawa has really honed this team into a sharp dagger.
"Click, click"
There was a rustling sound that kept appearing in between their conversations.
Senmi: ...
Others: ...
Seto turned around and saw Kenshin's face puffed up like a hamster stuffed with nuts. He was biting the corn in his hand and looking up in confusion.
Because he was eating, his speech was slurred, and his eyes showed a clear stupidity, "Look at me, dare you?" (Why are you looking at me?)
Senmi's original intention was to make Kenjo Shinichi pay attention to his image, but after seeing his movements clearly, he was shocked and asked, "Kenjo, what are you chewing?"
Why is half the corn missing? Judging from the shape, it looks like it was gnawed directly off. Did this guy even eat the corn cob? Although it seems edible, people usually spit out the leftovers. It doesn't look like Jiancheng spitted it out.
So there is only one truth.
He swallowed it all.
In this short period of time, Jiancheng once again demonstrated his good teeth and iron stomach.
Senmi: ...
Senmi slowly turned his head and closed his eyes.
