Chapter 44: Shiratorizawa vs. Qingcheng (5) There may be a situation where a person...
"Aoki has a new player," Nandushu said, glancing at Aoba Johsai's substitute list. "Kyotani Kentaro is the main attacker who was promoted to Aoki from Minami Sansan Junior High School. He seemed to have been a key player in junior high." (Note 1)
"He's a first-year student like Shiratorizawa's Kenshiro and Kawanishi. How rare," Nandu said with a hint of sarcasm. "Have we in Miyagi entered the age of youkai in recent years?"
"Teacher Nandu, you're joking," Matsumoto said, trying to lighten the mood. "But, after losing the first game, they actually started with a new player in the second. Could it be that Qingcheng has a secret weapon of their own?"
Nandushu: "Without further ado, the competition is about to begin. Let's look forward to seeing how this Jingya-san performs."
Shiratorizawa is still serving on the court. Seni Eita stands on the serving point, waiting for the referee's serve command.
In the stands, Shiratorizawa's supporters took a break and were now rhythmically clapping their small speakers to cheer on the players. Hinata stared at Qingcheng's newly-appeared No. 16 for a moment, then looked at Midorikawa Yuki, who seemed to be distracted.
"This guy," Hinata said seriously, "looks really fierce."
Midorikawa thought Hinata would come up with some amazing analysis:.
Midorikawa opened his mouth weakly: "...Actually, Kenjou isn't very gentle either." Although it's true that Kenjou Shinichi is a bit of a jerk, he's still very intimidating when he has a cold face, and he has a blank expression most of the time, which has nothing to do with the word gentle anyway.
Upon hearing this, the little orange-haired kid immediately started to refute, "Brother Jiancheng is a very good person!"
To make his words more credible, Hinata added as if to emphasize, stretching out his fingers and began to list Kenjo Shinichi's advantages: "He will teach me to serve seriously..."
Midorikawa's mind flashed with the scene where the opponent showed no remorse after hitting someone with the ball at Shiratorizawa Gymnasium.
Hinata: "He'll give me food - the soil and fruits are really delicious!" Although he was scared to death at first, it turned out well in the end!
Midorikawa: "...Is that so?" He thought of how Jiancheng pushed Shirabu into the infirmary at the beginning of the school year, and how Jiancheng often picked up things from the ground to eat.
Hinata continued: "He even came to comfort me after I lost!"
In team training matches, Jiancheng can often be seen teasing his teammates and opponents, and sometimes Jiancheng Xinyi will even make some provocative moves for no apparent reason.
No matter how Midorikawa looked at it, he felt that Hinata was not the same person as the Kenjo Shinichi he knew.
So Midorikawa, with the mentality of saving a child who had gone astray, said with a serious expression: "Take off your good-guy filter about Jiancheng!"
He won't even call you by your name formally!
Hinata:?
The next second, they were drawn back into the game by the loud sound of the ball hitting the volleyball court.
“Bang!”
Taichi Kawanishi on the court pinched his fingers and felt pain, "Sorry!" His fingertips touched the ball, but it did not change Qingcheng No. 16's powerful spike. Instead, the ball rushed directly to the guardrail behind Shiratorizawa. The loud noise just now was the sound of the volleyball hitting the guardrail.
"Is your hand okay?" Senmi Eita said a little worriedly, "Don't worry, mistakes are common. Besides, you're only a first year."
Kawanishi breathed, "It's okay."
I didn't expect that Qingcheng would have a player with such speed and strength. It seemed that the opponent was also well prepared. But at this moment, the atmosphere on Qingcheng's side was not as relaxed as Kawanishi Taichi imagined. Facing Iwaizumi's pass, Iwaizumi and Kyotani jumped almost at the same time. No, in fact, Oikawa passed the ball to Iwaizumi in the front row, but Kyotani ran directly from the back row to the front row, and even squeezed Iwaizumi away and dunked the ball himself.
Iwaizumi, who almost fell, said: ...
Matsukawa Ichishige was also frightened: ...
Qingcheng called a timeout again after taking a one-point lead at the start of the game.
After hearing the beeping sound of the machine, Iwaizumi took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and grabbed Kyotani's collar. "You're very dangerous!"
Oikawa obviously didn't expect Kyotani to disrupt the strategy right from the start. The corner of his mouth twitched, "Don't affect the game. If you can beat Shiratorizawa, it's up to you. If you dare to drag us down, I'll send you off."
Matsukawa whispered, "...His face seemed to have the words 'Who are you?' written on it, and he turned his head away, completely ignoring Oikawa."
Hanamaki nodded in agreement.
Oikawa:…
A well symbol appeared on Oikawa's forehead: "Do I really need your off-site commentary, Yijing?"
Iwaizumi restrained his expression and then sighed, "Don't do those difficult moves all the time. It's easy to get hurt."
Although Jingya still looked very impatient, he nodded obediently: "Oh."
Oikawa:?
Oikawa: "Why do you only listen to Xiaoyan!?"
But it was obvious that no one paid any attention to him except Huajuan who looked at him with sympathy.
Hanamaki put his hands on his hips and sighed, "You almost surpassed that bastard in the hearts of the younger generation. Congratulations, Oikawa." (Note 2)
Oikawa was furious: "I don't need any of this kind of congratulations!"
But then again, why was the opposing setter's gaze darting back and forth between Kyotani and himself?
Oikawa Toru pondered for a moment, finally concluding that the opposing setter seemed to be mocking him. After all, he had ignored Oikawa-sama's warnings before, and now he saw this scene of a junior disrespecting his senior. Could it be that he really had lost all his dignity?!
The Qingcheng setter quickly managed his expression.
Even though he heard his peers complaining behind him, “What’s wrong with him again?” he remained unmoved. After all, Xiaoyan and the others didn’t understand at all!
This is about a war between setters! Oikawa Toru thought so and glared at Kenjo Shinichi who was still looking at him, "What are you looking at, you annoying junior?"
...Why is Chili arguing with the wizard?
Farmer: That’s weird, let me take another look.
After all, he had never seen plants and humans quarreling, but when he thought about the fact that fish could also mine in this mod, he accepted it naturally and even wanted to join them.
Yes, the new player Kyotani Kentaro also has two big characters on his head saying "Chili"
It is also of Iridium quality. After seeing it, the farmer couldn't help but sigh, it is indeed summer, it is really like a pillow is given when you are sleepy, after the spring seeds come the summer seeds.
Although he hasn't got the contact information of Hops and Poppy yet, no matter what, at least he should deal with the one in front of him first!
The farmer stared for a while, then seriously thought about a question -
If Chili and the Wizard came to a fight, who would he help?
Hiss, it’s simply a global problem!
But after thinking for a while, he gave up, took out the quartz that the wizard had just given him from his pocket, and handed it to Eita Senami who was listening to Coach Washi Takumi's speech.
Seni, who was suddenly given a sushi roll (Note 3), said:?
The next second he spoke uncontrollably: "How do you know I like to eat this? It looks delicious."
Senmi realized what he was saying: ...
What was he doing just now? No, what strange thing had taken over his brain just now?!
Could Kenjo be capable of magic?! At that moment, Senmi Eita looked at the sushi roll in his hand, then at Kenjo who was still lost in thought. Suddenly, he and Midorikawa Yuki, who had previously believed that Kenjo Shinichi was a magical girl, had a sudden connection.
I had originally intended to ignore the bewildered Sword Castle eagle craftsman, Kaji:...
Coach Jiujiang was silent for a moment. "Shirabu," he pointed to another first-year setter, "Take Jiancheng away."
Don't let him ruin this precious timeout anymore!
Baibu, who was given the task in an emergency, said: "...Okay." He pulled Jiancheng's collar and walked away.
*
The whistle blew and Qingcheng Yanquan served the ball.
"Kenjo!" Kawanishi Taichi ran with the ball, and the moment he caught it, he realized that he had passed it too high, but it was not a big problem. The blue-haired setter made a calm and accurate shot after careful observation. That posture seemed to say -
Even a random pass can be adjusted successfully, so just take it and leave the rest to him.
Really, only Jiancheng can make such a disgusting pass.
After seeing the ball passed to his familiar hitting spot, Tiantong jumped up and quickly dunked the ball. At the moment of successfully scoring, he gestured in the direction of Qingcheng and said, "Successful delivery." He also winked at Matsukawa who was gritting his teeth after failing to block the ball.
Bai Bu saw this scene:.
At the end of the timeout, Shirabu was put up by Washi Takumi Kaji, replacing Senmi Eita's position. He was a little troubled at the moment: "...Senior, could you please stop provoking their anger?"
This makes them, Shiratorizawa, look like bad guys! Of course, Baibu silently added, Jiancheng must be eliminated from the ranks of good guys.
Tiantong put his hands on his hips: "It won't break like this, Qingcheng~" The tone of his voice rippled at the end, as if he was singing some weird song. No, it should be a self-composed song. Ohira Shion quietly moved a few steps to the side.
The score was quickly tied, and the momentum that Kyotani had just built up disappeared completely due to Shiratorizawa's impeccable cooperation.
And the live competition continues.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Ushijima Wakari stood at the serving point—
“…”
"The score gap has widened again." Looking at the situation on the court, Futakuchi crossed his arms and snorted coldly, "Shiratorizawa, disgusting."
After a moment of thought, he added, "Especially Ushi Island and Sword City, they're particularly disgusting."
Koganei:……
Koganei tried to stop him: "...at least cover your mouth when you say bad things." He subtly empathized with the second-year student Jozenji who was sitting not far from them. After all, this class of juniors was really difficult to lead.
"But Ushijima is left-handed," Onagawa said calmly, "and the sidespin he throws is different from that blue-haired setter's."
Wakari Ushijima's serve seemed to be more powerful, while the setter gave people an elusive feeling.
"Ah," Mao Ting thought for a moment, "As for Jian Cheng, he should rely on his own practice, but his dominant hand definitely has some influence." After a moment, he laughed again, "But if he could control the rotation, wouldn't that be terrifying?"
Silence, eerie silence.
"...I don't think he can..."
If so, are we still human?
The attention of everyone in Dategong was once again focused on the Shiratorizawa setter.
*
The farmer felt a chill as he knocked the stone. He looked at his level and felt that the regulating function of Star Valley was getting worse and worse.
Why do I shiver on the 80th floor?
This is the magma layer!
The players were heartbroken.
-----------------------
Author's Note: Note 1: The anime uniform says Minami Sansan, but I'm not sure of his full name. It seems Kyotani Namie's position is setter (?), but the official book seems to simply say main attacker. Anyway, I'm a little cautious (……)
Note 2: I don't know where this came from, but it said that in Kyotani's mind, Oikawa's status is like one level higher or lower than that of a dung beetle (...) Anyway, I thought it was funny so I wrote it, I hope you don't mind. However, Iwa-chan's status is very high, and I also saw that the little rabies is very popular with small animals (?). It is said to be in the novel version of Haikyuu, but I haven't verified it. If it comes from a social media, it should be plq
Note 3: Senami's favorite food seems to be something called 鉄火卷き, which translates to 铁火卷 (……). Then I searched and found that it's a tuna sashimi and seaweed sushi roll. Quartz is Abigail's favorite gift, which adds 45 points of favorability. What's funny is that Abigail in the game, I don't know if it's a bug or something, will say that quartz is delicious or something (?). The farmers jokingly call her a pica (……). But Abigail is still very cute! (Thumbs up) The system has twisted it into something that Senami likes to eat, otherwise it would be weird if he really took out quartz (eyes shifted). Mei had previously wanted to set Shion to be quartz (just a pun), but finally gave up.
ps: I wanted to make a grand debut with 6k, but I found that I couldn’t finish it, so I’ll post one chapter first, (lie down) If there are more chapters to be written, I will finish them by tomorrow noon, but I may not finish them (slept peacefully)
PPS: I was planning to lie down after typing this, but suddenly I sat up in shock from my dying illness and found that I had added more ORZ. I got up and started fighting with the keyboard. Thank you for your kindness (touched.jpg)
