Chapter 61 Oysters! They Can Talk! (3k nutrient solution plus more) ...
IH, quarterfinals.
The opponent is, Yasaka.
Because the competition has entered a white-hot stage, there are even more people coming today than on the first day of the opening ceremony. However, we cannot rule out the fact that the team itself is well-known and there are star players.
Odai and Tomi's match happened to be taking place at this time. Hearing the cheers from Shiratorizawa's cheerleaders not far away, Xinghai's already serious expression turned even more grim. "Damn it, why not at this time?"
Because he had to warm up before the game, he couldn't take time off to watch Shiratorizawa's game even though they were in the same stadium.
Besides, it's a match between Shiratorizawa, with Ushijima Wakari, and Kozaka, with Kiryu Hachi. They're meeting in the quarterfinals, so it's bound to be exciting. Xinghai frowned at the thought and looked at Hirugami. "Do you think we can finish this before they finish? Maybe we can even go over and watch the third game."
After a moment's thought, seemingly out of rigor, Xinghai Guanglai added, "If they play each round for thirty minutes, and can play three rounds."
Hirugami:......
This sentence doesn't sound like a wish, but rather a curse. You wouldn't be this tired even if you played five games in the final, right?
But then again, Guanglai seemed to really care about Shiratorizawa. When he went back yesterday, he copied the video of Shiratorizawa's match with Kanagawa Daiichi. He seemed to have watched it over and over again. He only put down his phone when the coach started analyzing Tomi. He looked like he was studying it very seriously.
Hirugami smiled and said, "Maybe I can actually see it."
He twisted his wrist and glanced at Tomi-kun, who was also warming up. "If we can succeed and finish this quickly."
Oudai is not the type of team that plays blitzkrieg, but if you are really looking forward to it, you can try it - a high-pressure strategy from the beginning.
Xinghai saw what he was thinking, looked away, and patted Hirugami on the back. "Do you remember the banner that said 'Number One in Kanagawa'?"
Hirugami was stunned for a few seconds before answering, "Should it be, 'steady'? Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
"What I need is for Oudai to secure a solid victory," Xinghai said. He took a few steps forward with the ball, then turned back with a serious expression. "So, we can't underestimate any opponent."
Although the young main attacker is not the tallest here, he believes that he is the one closest to the sky. For Xinghai Guanglai, strength does not lie in appearance, but in the heart.
"I will be a little giant," he declared.
Hirugami followed him, "I believe you."
Guanglai has always hated the word "small" because of his height, but the Little Giant is indeed an exception. To Guanglai, the Little Giant is not just small in height, but represents those who have disadvantages in playing volleyball but have been working hard for it. Becoming a Little Giant, no, surpassing a Little Giant has always been his heroism.
As long as he is in the air, he is the strongest! (Note 1)
Behind him, the banner of Oudai, "Habits are second nature," was shining.
While Tomi and Odai were warming up, the whistle for the match between Shiratorizawa and Kojizaka was officially blown.
“Beep!”

Time goes back to the night before.
Assistant coach Saito borrowed Soegawa's room, which was occupied by only one person, to give the final instructions before the main game. It happened that the hotel had a projector, so the personal points of attention for Kosaka compiled by Coach Washi Takumi were played very smoothly.
"Oita Prefecture's Kosaka High School is known for its emphasis on physical training. Their ace, Hachi Kiryu, is right-handed, but he consciously spikes to the left," Coach Saito paused before continuing, "which gives him a similar hitting power to Jouri."
Although their feelings during the game are very different, it can be said that both of them are heavy artillery players.
As long as they are players of the same type, there will be a certain degree of similarity, and they can also make advance preparations. However, what they can think of does not mean that the other party cannot think of it, so to a certain extent, they still have to rely on the ability of the setter to confuse the opponent.
But thinking back, Tendou shook his head: "He should have played against Wori-kun, right?"
Shiratorizawa has been a volleyball star since junior high school, and qualifying for the national tournament is as easy as drinking water. Ushijima, suddenly mentioned at this moment, remained expressionless, "Second year of junior high school."
Seeing that everyone seemed to still be staring at him, Ushijima added, "He's a very respectable contestant."
To be honest, it would be better to say that he is the player who carries everything.
After all, if your teammates' abilities can't keep up with yours, you'll either have to go it alone, or shoulder everything, which will lead to unlimited dependence on your teammates, as if you're saying, "If only XXX were available, we could definitely do it," which is almost blind trust.
Barren land cannot bear abundant fruits.
Either way, it's an unhealthy team.
Judging from the current situation, Kiryu Hachi should belong to the second type, the kind of ace who will say to his teammates, "Don't apologize, I will dunk every ball."
Everyone in Shiratorizawa was shocked when they heard this. In the end, Senmi smoothed things over: "It's rare to hear Roli give so much analysis."
Coach Saito remained calm. "Another terrifying thing about Kiryu is that he can spike any ball. He adjusts his spike strategy based on the ball his teammates pass him. That's part of his strength."
On the screen appeared Kiryu Yasushi's action of taking a one-step run-up and then slamming the ball low, all in one go, it was incredible.
"So you can't relax just because it was a 'bad ball'. Be alert to every ball." These words were said to Hayato Yamagata, who had a difficult defensive task.
"yes!"
Next, the secondary attackers had to strengthen their blocking. Coach Takumi specifically mentioned this in his notes: "A three-man block is necessary, Kenjo." Assistant Coach Saito looked at Kenjo Shinichi, and after receiving his gaze, he continued: "If Tendo and Taichi make a wrong call, I hope you can fill in behind them."
The setter also has the task of blocking, but his ability may be high or low. Fortunately, Shiratorizawa has a good card. Even if the deputy attacker cannot block the opponent's spike in time, the setter can become a member of the backup.
"Okay." Jiancheng sat on the ground. He looked quite well-behaved, but he was too big, and his efforts to shrink himself looked a little funny.
"...The serve is also very powerful, so you have to pay attention to this." Saito coughed twice and tried hard not to look at Jiancheng. He didn't know why he had to sit down.
Okay, let’s take a rest after saying that. It’s not a good idea to leave the baby curled up there all the time.
After quickly talking about the advantages of the remaining few people, not only Coach Saito breathed a sigh of relief, but also the others in Shiratorizawa.
There was no way. Jiancheng was really weird. He even tried to hug his legs because sitting cross-legged was too uncomfortable. His expression was still serious. It was really not easy for them to hold back their laughter while listening to the instructions.
Oh, yes, Jiancheng took out something again and started chewing it.
In the end, Shiratorizawa's instruction from the previous night was successfully completed with the sound of Kenshiro Shinichi chewing and assistant instructor Saito's explanation. I just don't know how much everyone actually remembered.

Time goes back to the present again, the warm-up session before the match between Shiratorizawa and Kozue Saka begins.
Shirabu clearly heard the Shiratorizawa cheering group's greetings to the rival Komesaka High School, but the scene that emerged in his mind was Kenshiro Shinichi curled up in a ball chewing an unknown fruit.
Shirabu: ...
Shirabu Kenjiro hit himself hard on the forehead.
Why did you think of this at a time like this!
Damn it, it’s all Jiancheng’s fault!
Grandstand——
Midorikawa was puzzled when he saw Shirabu Kenjiro hitting him:?
Midorikawa suddenly felt as if he understood something, and said to Yuno Bin Haiqing beside him with a serious face: "Jiancheng must have gotten into trouble again last night."
Yunohama: ...
Yunohama: "Do you have the ability to read minds, Sachi?"
From his perspective, he could only see Shirabu hit himself and then Midorikawa came over and said, "You two, no, maybe Kenjo should be included, the three of you are really weird, you know?"
Midorikawa: "...Maybe it's because he's been sick for a long time that he's become a doctor."
God gave him a sword city, probably so that he and Baibu could experience the feeling of being ruled by monsters?
Is this an alternative version of God giving great responsibilities to this person?
Midorikawa Yuki suddenly fell into thought.

The farmer stared at the man on the other side of the net for a moment.
farmer:……
farmer:?
The farmer's eyes widened.
He walked to the front of the net, ignoring the gazes of others. He then turned to the shaved-haired boy opposite him, his expression so serious that it made one think he was challenging him: "Oyster?"
Why are there oysters in the desert?
Because it was so strange, and also for Oyster's own sake, the blue-haired setter said sincerely, "Would you like some water?"
Kiryu Hachi, who was holding the ball, didn't understand why: ...
Kiryuhachi slowly asked, "What is this person talking about? Is this a new way of greeting in Miyagi Prefecture?"
In order not to spoil the fun, Kiryu thought for a moment and then tentatively said, "Oyster."
farmer:!
The farmer was shocked!
This is the first time that an NPC labeled as an item knows what it is!
This is so weird! The player took two steps back and bumped into the chestnut-haired NPC in his team. The player started complaining: "Oyster, it can talk!"
Kawanishi Taichi, who followed behind out of concern and witnessed everything, said: ...
Kawanishi Tai nodded expressionlessly at Kiryu Hachi: "Sorry, Kiryu-senpai, this guy's thinking is not normal."
He pulled Kenjo Shinichi by the collar and started walking towards the back. Damn, why is Kenjo so heavy? Kawanishi Taichi regretted dragging him along from the start.
The farmer didn't even think of resisting because his CPU burned out.
Only Kiryu Hachi was left looking at the two people's backs, wondering whether he should come up with some other seafood names.
Shouldn't he have replied with "oyster" instead of "clam" or "shrimp"?
Kiryuhachi fell into deep thought.

The author has something to say: Note 1: This should be what Xinghai was thinking during the AD vs. BJ match (probably)
