Chapter 159: Are There Still Normal People? Semi-finals, first match in the morning...
Semi-finals, first match in the morning, Inarizaki vs. Ichiyama.
Xinghai left by bus after watching the game yesterday. He went for a morning run the next morning after returning to Nagano. His self-discipline, which has remained the same for ten years, amazed his brother Xinghai Richo.
"This is the self-awareness of a dwarf." Richao sighed, and then was hit on the head by his mother. Xinghai, on the other hand, was very calm. He was no longer the kind of child who would jump up and down when being criticized. His reaction was to snort, then take a glass of water and sit in front of the TV.
"Want to watch the game?" Richao didn't have anything to do. He had watched volleyball with Xinghai before, but he rarely watched it since he changed his sport. Since he was free anyway, Richao reluctantly sat down next to Xinghai.
The game hasn't started yet, and the replay of yesterday's episode showed not only the faces of Shiratorizawa, but also Okitani, Inarizaki, and Ichiyama, and of course, enough shots of the loser group.
As he scanned Yangquan, Hiashi's eyes widened slightly, "Yangquan actually has a volleyball club?!"
He thought he was only good at basketball. After he said this, Xinghai, who was passing by, patted him on the head, perhaps on purpose.
Japan and Korea:……
When he turned around, he saw his brother's smug profile. Xinghai even turned his head away to prevent Richao from noticing.
Japan and Korea:……
Forget it, just consider it as consolation to this kid for losing the game. Ri Chao curled his lips and continued watching TV. The current segment has come to the interviews with the two schools that competed today, and the first to appear was the uniform of Jingtashan.
No matter how many times I see it, I still think the color is a bit ugly. Richao secretly complained that Oudai's color is more suitable, but Xinghai must not hear this, otherwise the little guy would be so proud.
"Inarizaki is a very respectable opponent," Iizuna on TV smiled gently, but his eyes revealed determination, "but Jingdashan's goal this time is still the championship. We look forward to entering the game with a better attitude, no matter who the opponent is."
Besides him, standing beside him was Sakuhaya, who looked calm and had been forced to appear in the camera. The reporter was obviously satisfied with Iizuna's answer and then turned the topic to Sakuhaya: "Does Sakuhaya have any predictions for the outcome of this semi-final?"
"...Good luck everyone." Although he opened his mouth as if he was going to say something, he gave up after looking at the camera lens. He finally finished his part briefly, nodded, bowed, and left the interview area.
The reporter paused for a moment before continuing to question Iiganusaka.
After reading this, Ri Chao turned to Xing Hai and said, "Learn from others. If you don't want to be interviewed, just leave. You insist on making remarks that make it difficult for me."
Xinghai frowned: "Huh? You're almost there too."
"I am not talented," Hitachi said, "but I am a little more polite than you."
"Is there something wrong with you?"
The two brothers started bickering again, and the originally clear sound of the TV was quickly drowned out until Hiashi said, "See what others have to say." The quarrel finally ended. When they turned around, they found that the part about Jingda Mountain had quietly ended, and the picture had turned to Captain Inarizaki.
There was a quiet air about the other person's expression, likely answering the reporter's question, "...maintaining harmony is also part of who we are at Inarizaki. Of course, we're all giving our all to this competition, and I hope everyone can achieve their ideal results."
In the background, there is a flash of the twins pulling each other's hair.
The cameraman's panic could still be vaguely seen, and he began to zoom in on the image, focusing on the face of Captain Inarizaki.
Xinghai Brothers: ...
Where is the peace?

In Tokyo, spectators have started to enter the stadium one after another, and the number of people attending the semi-finals is still gradually increasing. One can imagine how crowded it will be on the day of the final.
Although Shiratorizawa was not the first to start, no one could tell how long the match between Inarizaki and Ichiyama would last. They still arrived at the gym early as planned and started warming up, and of course they also watched the game as necessary.
Putting on his coat, Jiancheng and Midorikawa said goodbye and prepared to leave. Kawanishi subconsciously looked at Shirabu, who was stretching on his own and didn't pay any attention to the two people who were leaving.
——I don’t know whether he really didn’t pay attention or was pretending not to pay attention.
The secondary attacker came over and said casually, "Don't you want to go take a look?"
Baibu answered quickly: "No."
Kawanishi: "You're not still worried about what happened yesterday, are you?"
Hearing this, he saw the bulging blue veins on Baibu's forehead and thought to himself that he had guessed right.
But it's not his fault. If he were to be lifted up like Simba in public, he would also feel socially devastated. Fortunately, he was still some distance away from Jiancheng at that time. Chuanxi pursed his lips, and finally patted Baibu's shoulder in understanding, "Keep going."
He changed direction and walked to Senmi, intending to ask his senior to pass him a few balls.
Shirabu: ...
I had almost forgotten it, but after being reminded by Kawanishi, I remembered it again. If Shiratorizawa wants to expand, if we call the current Shirabu over, we might be able to dig out the foundation in half an hour.
In a way, Jiancheng is really amazing in this regard.
On this side, Jiancheng and Midorikawa met Akagi and Kuroo halfway, who were also out for a walk, no, also out for a break.
Kuroo was holding a new short-sleeved shirt in his hand, and it seemed that he had not bought enough before. Seeing Jiancheng coming, he immediately sprinted forward, causing Akagi beside him to twitch the corner of his mouth for two seconds.
"Nobuichi——!"
Jian Cheng's reaction was a little more indifferent than his, "Kurobuta."
Midorikawa: ...
Jiancheng really doesn't care about the relationship between seniors and juniors. He felt a little emotional, but then he felt something was wrong. He clearly would seriously call Tiantong Senior... What exactly is Jiancheng's standard? He fell into deep thought.
"Not bad, right?!" Kuroo hummed twice and spread out his clothes. "This time it's 'late bloomer'!"
Jian Cheng took a closer look and said, "Very good."
The farmer was extremely confident that the gift from Oyster was not as good-looking as the one given to him by Oyster because there was no animated character on Katsuki's short-sleeved shirt.
Kuroo: "I think so too. By the way, I bought the Ace Experience last time!" He put his hands on his hips and looked proud.
Akagi looked at the wooden-faced Kensho, quite puzzled as to how he and Kuroo could communicate with each other through their minds. Could it be that the fate of fishing was so magical? His mind flashed back to the last time Kuroo was holding a fish almost as long as his arm, and the scene of Kensho Shinichi and the inexplicable passion between them appeared.
Akaashi: ...
Akaashi looked at Midorikawa, whose face also showed "difficult to understand", and said, "It's not easy for you either."
Midorikawa was stunned at first, then he understood what the Owl Valley setter was talking about. He couldn't find his voice for a moment before he said, "...you too."
The establishment of friendship is so wonderful. When the duo of idiots finally came back to their senses from their fantastic short-sleeved conversation, they found that Midorikawa and Akaashi had already exchanged emails and were having a great chat.

Jiao Ming is taking pictures.
When the North team was stopped for an interview, they said that the next thing they wanted to do was a two-person special for the twins. However, within two minutes, the two started arguing over who spoke first, and it ended up turning into hair-pulling.
Should I be thankful they didn't fight in public? Jiaoming sighed, then resolutely pulled out his phone.
His "Gong Gemini Life Record" channel is still being updated, and now is a good opportunity to officially accumulate materials.
Coach Kurosu, who had originally trusted the team because Bei was the leader, felt a black screen when he took out his cell phone and saw this scene.
I never expected this to happen.
In short, the Gemini interview was scrapped, and Bei scolded both of them. The final result was that when they went to the secondary hall to warm up, they suddenly started a cold war, and had to rely on the kind-hearted Alan to relay their conversation.
Kindhearted Alan: ...
He didn't really want to be called that. He felt inexplicably tired being sandwiched between the two people. When he saw Shiratorizawa and Xiaogu and his group coming together, an expression of looking at them as saviors unexpectedly appeared in his eyes.
Then he successfully made way for them so that they could communicate better.
Igarashi from Jingta Mountain, who was watching the excitement next door, wanted to rush over when he saw Jiancheng, but was stopped by the captain Heiliang, "You haven't done what you should do."
The squinty-eyed captain smiled and said, "Matsumoto can go."
Matsumoto:……
Matsumoto:?
He is not a fan of Shiratorizawa's setter, what was he doing in the past - these words appeared in Matsumoto's eyes.
Hei Liang added: "Of course, the Holy Minister can also do it."
Shengchen's response was to move away from them and Goossen started practicing receiving the first pass.
Only the world in which Igarashi was injured appeared. He was indignant. Those who didn't know might think that this deputy attacker hated Inarizaki very much. He stared at Miya You who was talking to Kenshiro, and a faint light of fire appeared behind him.
Gong You felt a chill on his back.
He stopped talking and suddenly glanced behind him, then turned back to find nothing. Jian Cheng in front of him was very serious. Gong You continued the previous topic: "...Anyway, that's it. I've almost mastered my new moves. Look forward to tomorrow's eye-opening experience, Xinyi-kun."
Kuroo came closer and raised his hand: "Why not me? Yuyu, I want to see it too!"
Gong You: "You can read it again today."
Kuroo: "Why can't Shinichi watch it today? Do you look down on him?"
Gong You: ...
Miya You was puzzled. What was going on in Kuroo's train of thought? Could it be that he couldn't understand what people were saying?
The next second, Jiancheng tilted his head and said, "I don't know how to control time." He still had a serious expression. If you didn't know, you would think they were not discussing the competition but conducting some scientific research.
Gong You fell silent again.
Gong You was filled with grief and indignation: "Is there anyone here who can understand what people are saying? No, is there anyone normal here?"
He was answered by Miyaji's sneer and the question marks on the faces of the two big idiots in front of him.
Gong You: ...
Gong You refused to speak anymore. He also wanted to learn from Kuroo and enter the negative mode.
