Chapter 30: Shiratorizawa vs. Fannan (1) “Just now…
"That guy just now..." The boy with short light hair paused for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about his words. "Is that from Shiratorizawa's cheerleading team?"
The person next to him turned around to look, but could only see a few sparse silhouettes. "That should be it," he said, puzzled. "Why are you asking that, Hanajuan?"
Hanamaki Takada remained composed and said something startling: "There's a super tiny thing inside."
When walking together with others, we all have concave shapes, so it's normal to look at each other a few more times.
“…”
Hanamaki: "Why do you have that scumbag look on your face?"
Songchuan Yijing restrained himself for a moment: "No, you saw it wrong."
"No, you've gone a little further," Hanamaki sighed. "I heard that Shiratorizawa's cheerleading squad this year consists of members from the second division plus the brass band, so I was curious, okay? How could Shiratorizawa's second division have a short member? Okay, I apologize."
"I thought you learned bad things from Oikawa." Matsukawa said, his face calm: "It's enough for us to have one bad person in our school."
Hanamaki: ...
Hanamaki:.
Is it really okay to complain about your peers so bluntly, Yijing? Although she agreed in her heart, Hanamaki skillfully changed the subject: "Did you see where Oikawa went?"
"I don't know," Matsukawa thought for a moment, "but if he doesn't come back, I think Xiaoyan's fist will hit him on the head."
Iwaizumi, who was at the front, had already clenched his fists.
Hanamaki: ...
Oikawa! Good luck! Hanamaki crossed himself.

Oikawa Toru turned his head and sneezed, looking apologetic at the girls in front of him who were surrounding him to ask for his autograph. He was stopped after the game, so he left the main group.
He kept smiling as he quickly signed the last person, then clasped his hands together with an innocent look on his face. "Sorry, I really want to continue chatting with you all, but I have to go back."
Oikawa Toru blinked and said, "The team is still waiting for me." Fortunately, the fans were very sensible and immediately made way for him.
At this moment, he happened to bump into Shiratorizawa who was about to enter the venue. He looked puzzled for a moment, then moved away from the others, picked up his volleyball bag that he had placed aside, and was about to leave when he heard the surprised voices of the fans who had just surrounded him for autographs.
"Ah, that! It's the hero!" A girl screamed softly, "Miko, hurry up, let's go take a photo before they enter!"
Oikawa Toru was silent, and the next moment he felt a huge question mark popping up above his head.
What hero? Are you talking about Shiratorizawa? Shiratorizawa doesn't look like a positive character, does he?! That's the team that the disgusting Ushijima is on!
Oikawa Toru's expression twisted, and his steps paused. He turned to look at the man called "the hero"—
He was a young man wearing Shiratorizawa sportswear, with dark blue hair. At the moment, he was standing there with his knees slightly bent, expressionless, quietly posing for photos.
I've never seen him before, but he's quite handsome, maybe a little less handsome than Oikawa-sama. But how is he related to the hero? Take a picture and show it to Xiaoyan...
Although Oikawa Toru was puzzled, the moment he opened his phone, even the mood to take pictures disappeared completely, and he looked withered and gray.
There were two calls from Iwaizumi on the phone, both marked in red as missed calls.
Oikawa Toru: ...
God wants to kill him.
Let’s talk about heroes later. Oikawa Toru quickly got himself ready and rushed out, throwing all his demeanor aside. If he didn’t hurry up, he would soon face the most terrifying demon king’s ultimate move.
After the NPC took the picture of the farmer here, he glanced in the direction where Ikawa left.
I just saw an NPC marked...
But it runs very fast.
The farmer was blowing bubbles with a wooden face, ready to start mining again. He looked in the direction of Lewis and found that the other party was also staring at him for some reason.
farmer:?
The farmer scratched his head. "Hasn't he already paid for the ride? Why is he still glaring at me?"

"The second round of the Miyagi Prefecture IH preliminary tournament begins. Shiratorizawa vs. Ogino. Both players, please enter."
The announcer started working.
"Shiratorizawa is using a brand new lineup today," the commentator exclaimed, taking a look at the opposing players' table. "No. 12 Kawanishi Taichi, No. 10 Shirabu Kenjiro, and No. 9 Kenshiro Shinichi—all of them are freshmen we haven't seen before. It seems Shiratorizawa is very confident in this match."
Another commentator continued, "As a regular member of Miyagi Prefecture's representative tournament in recent years, what big surprises will Shiratorizawa bring us today? We are also looking forward to Fannan High School's counterattack against Shiratorizawa. The game will start soon, so please don't miss it."
Baibu played at the second position today, Jiancheng was arranged by coach Jiujiang to play at the fifth position, and Shannan started at the side.
Standing at the serving position was Shannan's No. 7 player. He looked a little nervous. At the beginning, he was almost out of time and was reminded by the referee's whistle. In the end, he threw the ball to Shiratorizawa's side with a pale face.
"Chance ball!"
As soon as Shannan's serve passed the net, Kawanishi Taichi received the ball and passed it to Ohira Shion who had already jumped, and directly smashed the ball -
Shiratorizawa leads 1:0
"It seems like the players from Shannan haven't really gotten into their groove yet," the commentator adjusted the microphone. "Second-year player Ohira Shisine is Shiratorizawa's main attacker and a key scorer, but the first-year player's secondary attacker also has a solid first pass, worthy of Shiratorizawa."
"Yes, but it's still surprising that Coach Takumi, who has always preferred to use tall players, would actually use a double setter tactic."
At this time, Tendo's serve was received by Shannan. The opponent's No. 4 player's first pass was not in place, but after the second set adjusted, it still successfully gave a good hitting point. Unfortunately, it was still received smoothly by Shiratorizawa. The position of this ball was not good. It was not easy for Ohira and Kawanishi to receive it. In the end, Shirabu touched the ball and shouted: "Sorry! One touch!"
His first pass was a little behind.
Jiancheng quickly got into position, and Ushijima Wakari jumped from the three-meter line. The next moment, when Ushijima reached the highest point, the volleyball was sent to his fingers as if it was a precise hit.
"Bang——"
The blue and yellow volleyball was pressed heavily into the half of the court belonging to Shannan like a bullet. The people of Shannan had no time to react before they lost another point.
At this time, the cheering for Shiratorizawa outside the field also began.
First, there were two deliberately prolonged tones, as if announcing their presence.
"Invincible—"
"Today's opponent is Shannan High School!"
"Shannan High School!"
The leader shouted again: "Please give me your guidance!"
"Please give me your guidance!"
When Hinata shouted this loudly, Midorikawa beside him was a little worried that his throat would be damaged if he continued like this.
This kid is so active! If I didn’t know, I would have thought you were a member of Shiratorizawa’s official support team… Midorikawa thought silently. He couldn’t use the small speaker in his hand at this moment, and there was still some time before singing the school song. The little orange-haired boy tugged at Midorikawa’s sleeve.
"Midorikawa-senpai," Hinata said with a puzzled expression, "Why isn't Kenjo-san serving today?"
Midorikawa: "...It should be a tactic."
In fact, he didn't understand Coach Jijiang's plan for such an arrangement. Generally, in order to maintain the team's setter's touch, the setter would serve first. But this time, it was Tendo Kaku who served first in Shiratorizawa, which really confused him.
However, they were not quite sure about Coach Jiujiang's considerations, so they just believed him.
Hinata said "oh" in a slightly confused manner, then asked, "Is Jiancheng's waist okay?"
When Kenjo Shinichi passed the ball to Ushijima, his waist turned almost 90 degrees because of his running, and he passed the ball from above his head. Judging from the posture, most people would not be able to bear it.
Midorikawa thought for a moment and said, "It's okay. He's like this during training as well."
He's so fancy, I don't know who he's showing off to, but his pass conversion rate is very high. Plus, Kenjo Shinichi's physical fitness is ridiculously good, so generally no one pays much attention to him.
Hinata: "I see, but that's amazing!"
If I hadn't been watching the ball just now, it would have been easy to miss. It felt like the ball was in Ushijima-senpai's hands in an instant, and then it was hit out with a snap.
Midorikawa smiled, "I think so too."
As they were talking, the score on the field had reached an astonishing 9:1, and even one point was due to a serve error by Tiantong.
For this, he was even scolded by the Eagle Takumi Kaji outside the court: "Serve the ball to the other side of the court! Why did you serve it over Jiancheng's head! Is there anyone on our side that you hate?!"
Tiantong Jue: ...
Tiantong shuddered and showed a helpless expression.
The ball just now just brushed past Jiancheng's head, and then naturally failed to cross the net. Being scolded was also within Tiantong's own expectations.
When Tendou returned to the team, he moved closer to where Ushijima was standing, "I'm going to be relying on you today too, Wakari-kun."
Turning to the white cloth at the back: ...
You should work harder too! Tendo-senpai!
Ushijima nodded silently.
"Shiratorizawa!" As the drums sounded outside the field, a rhythmic mix of shouts and pounding sounds rang out, "Shiratorizawa!"
Before Hinata could even shout twice, it was time for the school song. Since he couldn't sing, he had to keep quiet and continue observing the situation on the field.
"From the forested city, looking up below, that majestic figure is Sendai Castle, the glorious Shiratorizawa of our school..." (Note 1)
The school song of Shiratorizawa gives people a solemn feeling. Accompanied by the school song, the serve was turned to Shirabu, and the opponent lived up to expectations and won two points. In the end, his serve was interrupted because the ball went out of bounds.
The score gap with Shannan was widened again. All the players on Shannan's side looked unhappy, and only the captain was still comforting and encouraging them.
Hinata looked for a while, then looked at Midorikawa seriously: "Midorikawa-senpai," he paused.
Midorikawa: "Hmm?" He stopped tapping and turned towards Hinata.
"I was wondering," Hinata said, arranging her words, "what do you think of me applying to Shiratorizawa?"
Midorikawa was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled sincerely, "Okay, Jiancheng will definitely be very happy."
The player is looking for the stairs leading down to the mine.
He had been stuck on the second floor for a long time, and his mentality was even a little broken.
Why are there so many rocks?! Is today's luck bad?!
The farmer, who had simply forgotten to watch the fortune-telling program one day, was horrified.

Author's Note: Note 1: This is the school song of Shiratorizawa, but there may be some deviations due to translation.
P.S.: Although HNT said they want to take the Shiratorizawa entrance exam, I'm sorry, little orange-head, you won't be able to pass (Hey) Pack up and go to Karasuno with Kageyama! (What a cruel person)
PPS: While writing about this game, Yami was looking for volleyball explanation videos, and then she started playing again (……) (very lacking self-control.jpg)
Also, tomorrow's update time has been moved to 23:00! Hey everyone, I'll be sticking to you guys (hey) I'm obsessed with writing a sequel about the farmer's life story and why he traveled through time to play volleyball, but the plot hasn't reached the point where it can be released yet, and I'm so anxious (what are you anxious about)
I originally thought I'd be able to write about the scene where the farmer amazed everyone (hey), but in the end, that didn't happen (……) If I add more content with 1k nutrient solution, it will be around 12:00 noon! (sticky.jpg)
