Chapter 77: Shiratorizawa vs. Jingta Mountain (1) (160 Lei Jiachang) ^……
finals.
Unlike perennial champions and runner-ups Ichiyama, while always a qualifying team from Miyagi Prefecture, Shiratorizawa hasn't made it to the IH semifinals in years. Their ability to reach this point has already surprised many. Ultimately, it's a matter of resources. After all, as a Tokyo powerhouse, Ichiyama not only boasts the most advanced training facilities and the best students in Japan, but also a leader in international exchange. I think I even saw an interview with a retired international player coaching at a foreign school...
What he saw was Jingtashan's yellow-green sportswear. Seto withdrew his gaze and sighed. As expected, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous.
Keep calm, keep calm!
He stretched his arms slightly, and shifted his focus from the members of Jingta Mountain to himself. The first person he saw was Tendo who was telling a joke to Ohira Shion.
As if sensing Seni's gaze, Tendo spun around, then asked with a rather comical expression, "Eita, do you know who wears a grass skirt?"
Seni: ...What on earth is this strange way of appearing?
Despite his inner complaints, Senmi still answered the question cooperatively: "Uh, Native Hawaiian?"
Tendou swiped his fingers across his face, his hands on his hips as if declaring victory. "Hey! Total annihilation! No one guessed right." He then flaunted a Kamehameha move in one direction. "Ding-ding, it's Shinichi-chan."
Upon hearing his name, Kenjo Shinichi cooperated by showing off his "living hat", not knowing what he was proud of.
I guess if there weren't a few people between them, Tiantong and Jiancheng would jump up and high-five each other.
Senmi was silent for a few seconds, then pretended not to see anything and turned to chat with Ohira Shion who was also silent.
"Sure enough, the atmosphere in the finals is very different."
Ohira Shion was stuck: "...You're so awkward in changing the subject, Eita."
Seeing this, Tendo stretched out his voice and said, "You're really cold, aren't you, Shinichi-chan?"
"That's right, Abi is like this." The farmer nodded in agreement. As expected, Abi just couldn't understand what people were saying... He thought as he walked towards the site of Jingta Mountain, ignoring the voice behind him saying "Aquarius, Yingtai Aquarius is going to be broken". He looked around but didn't see Wu Meishu. If the farmer's memory was correct, the last time he met Wu Meishu, he seemed to be wearing clothes of this color.
Where is it?
Wow, it would be fine if I hadn’t looked at it, but I was shocked when I saw it. There were actually banana trees and mango trees.
Their mining team is a collection of fruit trees! Their uniforms also look like bananas... Is the banana tree really the leader?
After thinking for two seconds, the farmer decisively walked over, patted the banana tree on the shoulder, and confidently asked, "Have you seen the plum tree?"
The farmer forgot to talk last time!
Seeing the guy from the neighboring team wearing the number 9 uniform coming over and putting his hand on Iizuna-senpai's shoulder in an unusually familiar manner, Komori Motoya said: ...
Gu Senyuan also silently looked at Igarashi who was giving a "Damn it, I want it too" look.
You didn't explain this person's personality. Who is Wumeishu, anyway?
Iigatsuna palm:?
Iizuna tilted his head and saw a blue head.
as well as……
Pika Pika's eyes sparkled.
It’s not that I was offended, but I was a little surprised. Could it be that there were acquaintances of Shiratorizawa in their team?
The two people from Jingta Mountain gathered together and looked a little confused.
Finally, it was Gu Sen who broke the deadlock: "The black plum tree you are talking about is..."
The farmer thought about the plum tree's appearance and stroked his chin. "Black hair, wearing a mask, he looks like someone who's not going to mess with him."
Could it be that the farmer remembered the stories he had read as a child and took a few steps back in shock: "It's a ninja!"
GOOMSON: ...
Is there really such a person in their team?
Iizuna pondered the meaning of his words and looked at the slightly confused Komori, "It seems that the only one with black hair in our team is Seichen?"
But how did the Seichen become a ninja? It doesn't make sense at all. And why are the movements of this first-year student from Shiratorizawa so dramatic and bold, and his expression is also... like he's performing real-life punctuation marks.
"Ah, that's right." Gu Sen said blankly, "But where did Xiaochen go?" I haven't seen him just now. Could it be that Yaotome-senpai has done something bad again?
Yaotome, who was standing there taking a picture of her brother Kenjo Shinichi, suddenly sneezed, "Ah, cut!"
With a flick of his finger, the high-definition side-face photo of □□ that he had sent over suddenly turned into a blurry pixelated image.
Yaotome:......
My younger brother replied very quickly, and his text message was full of disgust.
[Brother: Your photo is terrible.]
Yaotome has nothing to say, this brat is hopeless, he doesn't even care who is taking the risk of being discovered by fans of the same team to take photos of your idol.
Just as he was thinking about what words to use to get by, Igarashi came over like a ghost, "What are you doing, senior..."
Yaotome remained calm, "Nothing."
Then he quickly turned off his phone, intending to destroy the body. On one side, he was playing out the mobile phone Infernal Affairs, and on the other side, he was deeply involved in the variety show "Where Have the Holy Ministers Gone?"
The last few people walked around the warm-up venue and found a person hiding in the corner like a mushroom. It seemed that he had been giving them a death stare for a long time.
Komori and Iizuna: ...
So it's here.
Sure enough, this pattern began to play out as soon as it came into contact with the crowd.
Following their line of sight, the farmer spotted the plum tree and exclaimed, then hurried over. Under Sakuhaya Seiomi's murderous gaze, he pulled a piece of snack—a work snack courtesy of Abigail—from his pocket and offered it to the other person. "Want some?"
The first step in making friends with farmers: giving gifts
Although they're all real people now, based on these days of practice, the favorability system is still useful! Abigail already has four and a half stars, so it's always a good idea to give her more gifts.
Sakuhaya watched helplessly as the other party took out the already opened snacks from his sportswear pocket: ...
Although he had seen this quick-drying man before, it didn't mean he could challenge the sanitary environment in other places. Sakuhaya Seiomi stood up and walked almost ten meters away from Kenjo Shinichi. After making sure that no one would suddenly bump into him, he politely declined, "No thanks."
farmer:?
farmer:!
Some plants refused the farmer's gift!
The players were shocked!
*
"The upcoming match is the final of this IH tournament, Shiratorizawa vs. Ichizan. Speaking of which, both teams are established, strong schools," commentator Kurokawa said with a smile as the players warmed up. "From now on, we can see that both teams are engaged in intense warm-up exercises."
"Everyone is ready for battle. I believe they all feel that their opponents are equally matched. Let's wait patiently for the warm-up session to end," said Sano.
After the live commentary ended, the audience entered the venue and the two teams cheered.
The formal warm-up is held at the competition venue. On the one hand, it is to give the players time to adapt to the venue, and on the other hand, it is to liven up the atmosphere. Just like at this moment, Iizuna from the Jingda Mountain side passed a ball to Sakuhaya, and the opponent jumped up and slammed the ball to the ground. This scene caused many spectators to cheer.
The person currently responsible for passing the ball to the attackers on Shiratorizawa's side is Senmi Eita, and this action slightly puzzled Midorikawa and Yunohama in the stands.
Midorikawa searched the field for a while but couldn't find Kenjo Shinichi. He was a little confused for a moment, "Where did Kenjo go?"
Could he have gotten lost again...! Thinking of this possibility, Midorikawa felt a little headache. Could the other party be unreliable at this time?
Yunohama was much calmer than him. He carefully observed the other contestants and then his voice dropped inexplicably. "...Is that the guy doing push-ups him?"
Midorikawa looked in the direction of his force and understood why there was something strange in Yunohama's voice: "Isn't it?"
The two men tapped the trumpets in their hands less vigorously, looked at each other, and spoke almost at the same time.
"What happened to him?"
——This is the question Shirabu also wanted to ask.
Kenjo Shinichi had been in a slump ever since the freshman main attacker at Ichiyama rejected him, and this slump only intensified after he arrived at the main stadium and faced the crowd. Shirabu sighed and said helplessly to Kawanishi Taichi, who also didn't understand, "Isn't it just the snacks that were rejected by others?"
"But Jiancheng seems to be very concerned about this matter," said Kawanishi Taichi, "I feel like I'm about to vomit my soul."
Now, while I am doing push-ups, it seems like there are doubtful questions popping up around me.
Thoughts are embodied.
Just as the two were sighing, they saw the other fall to the ground with a thud.
Shirabu: ...
Baibu walked over and patted the back of his neck, "Don't die, Jiancheng."
Kawanishi Taichi, who saw this scene, said: "...Is it such a big shock?"
Tian Tong walked over with the ball and took a look, seemingly unconcerned. "Maybe if I win, the other party will accept it."
The farmer raised his head a little: "Really?"
Tiantong spun the ball and tapped his chin with his finger: "Really...right?"
The farmer turned to look at the trusting Parsnip: "Really?"
Eyes that seemed to emit rays of light.
White cloth:.
This kind of strange trust should not be ignited at an inexplicable time. Knowing that Tiantong is lying, Shirabu wants to grab Jiancheng's collar and tell him not to believe it, but if he says so, Jiancheng Xinyi may become even more depressed. On the one hand, there is his conscience, and on the other hand, there is the game that is about to start.
"Really, right?" Betraying his conscience, Baibu turned his neck, his eyes wandering, and repeated what Tiantong Jue said.
The farmer quickly stood up by supporting himself on the floor.
good!
Let the plum tree see his determination!
power!!!
Looking at the man in front of him who seemed to be burning with flames behind him, Kawanishi Taichi said silently: "...Ah, he's alive."
Jiancheng is indeed a very magical person.
After the warm-up session, both sides returned to their designated locations and waited for broadcast instructions. After the routine session, the official female voice began the official live broadcast.
"Now entering is Ichiyama High School, representing Tokyo. Now, let me introduce the starting lineup."
Amidst the cheers from Jingta Mountain, the first to appear was the third-year captain.
[No. 1, Kuroro Sota]
The outside hitter calmly high-fived assistant coach Ukyo before entering the court.
[No. 2, Iigana Palm]
Iizuna is the next captain appointed by Iidayama, and is also extremely popular in the Iidayama school. When he entered, someone in the cheering team shouted "Iizuna-senpai".
[No. 3, Matsumoto Narimitsu]
"Come on, Xiaoguang!" "Show them how powerful you are!" People kept running from their seats to the front railings and waving at him. Matsumoto grinned and gave them a thumbs up.
[No. 7, Igarashi Minato]
Igarashi pointed to the sky with both hands, then trotted to his position amid cheers.
[No. 10, Sakuzao Holy Minister]
The first-year main attacker had a calm expression and nodded slightly to the cheering crowd, successfully attracting screams.
[No. 13, libero, Motoya Komori]
With a smile on his face, Gu Sen walked backwards to greet everyone who was cheering for him, then quickly ran to his position.
【Director, Fujiwara Yuki】
The dark brown-haired man in the coaching booth waved slightly to all parties.
"Next, let me introduce the starting lineup for Shiratorizawa Academy, representing Miyagi Prefecture."
[No. 1, Ushijima Wakari]
"Ah, it's Ushijima-senpai!" Hinata, who was watching the broadcast in Miyagi Prefecture, brightened up. "This is the reliable senior Koharu I was talking about."
Hinata Xia had originally wanted to eat watermelon with her brother, but he was glued to the TV. Finally, she sat down on the tatami in the living room. The man who arrived at the scene had no expression on his face, just walking in step by step. Xiao Xia took a bite of the watermelon and sighed, "It feels very powerful."
"Isn't it!" Hinata felt proud for some reason. "The sound of Ushijima-senpai hitting the ball is so--loud."
He gestured the distance with his hands, quite excited.
Xiao Xia looked at the TV that was still broadcasting, feeling a little confused. Shiratorizawa had just passed by No. 4 and No. 5, but she didn't seem to see the brother who was good at dressing before. She tugged at Hinata Shoyo's clothes in confusion, "Brother, where is the blue-haired brother?"
Hinata stared at the TV, "It should be the next one..."
[No. 9, Kenjo Shinichi]
Hinata: "Wow Kenjo-nii appears."
Xiao Xia: "Your expression is so serious."
At the same time, the reaction also reached the cheering seats, where people were holding Shinichi fans everywhere, which was enough to show how popular he was.
Every now and then, screams of "Shinichi-sama!" reached his ears. Hearing this, Hinata scratched his head, deeply agreeing with his sister's words: "Indeed, it's rare to see Kenjo-nii so serious..." But then, thinking that this was the national finals, Hinata felt that he understood. Clenching his fist, he said excitedly: "But it's the finals! We have to take it seriously!"
Xiao Xia also got excited: "Oh oh oh!"
While the brother and sister were encouraging each other, the broadcast on TV was coming to an end. After the introduction of libero No. 14 Hayato Yamagata, there was a greeting from coach Takumi Washi, and the last sentence.
——【“Dear audience, please give the contestants here their warmest applause.”】
Hinata couldn't help but start clapping. The figures of both players on TV were reflected in his eyes. At this moment, Hinata held his breath: the national finals had begun.
*
"Lucky!" Midorikawa and Yunohama high-fived each other as they saw Kenjo Shinichi approach the serving point. Joy filled their faces. Midorikawa coughed and said, "We'll serve first."
Thanks to Ushijima-san for guessing the correct side!
Yunohama also showed the same expression, "At least I can take the initiative in my own hands at the beginning."
After all, that's the reigning King of Jingda Mountain! Last year's champions, while the volleyball team seems to have undergone a major overhaul this year, the setter and two third-year players are still there, so the bench is solid. Not to mention the presence of Sakuhaya and Komori, both incredibly strong.
It is normal to be so feared.
Midorikawa nodded, hummed, and joined in the cheering, banging the loudspeaker in his hand loudly.
"Shiratorizawa!!!" The team leader also started shouting at this time.
"Shiratorizawa! Invincible--" in unison.
"Win every battle!"
"Today's opponent is——Jingtashan High School——!"
"Jingtashan High School——" a drawn-out greeting.
“Please give me some advice!!”
At the same time, the gymnasts standing on the stairs also began to cheer along with the sound.
Seeing this, Xinghai sighed and pulled Hirugami to sit at the last seat. Fortunately, his eyesight was good and he could see Kenshiro Shinichi's ball spinning even in the last row. "We caught up."
Hirugami handed a piece of paper to the still-gasping Xinghai, "Wipe it off."
Because he had run so fast, there was a thin layer of sweat on his forehead. Xinghai took it and thanked him.
At this time, the referee blew a brief whistle on the field.
“Beep—”
Kenjo Shinichi serves.
The opponent took three steps forward, took a deep breath, and then threw the ball high with his left hand, and then hit it hard with his right hand. Under such an impact, the volleyball was squeezed and deformed like waves on the sea, and then reached the half of Jingta Mountain in an instant with an incredible arc and speed, and finally hit the bottom line before anyone could react.
"Bang——"
Make a loud noise.
Along with this sound, in addition to the screams from the Shiratorizawa support seats, in full view of everyone, the blue-haired boy raised his hand expressionlessly.
He made a “1” gesture in the direction of Jingta Mountain.
"What a terrifying server! Kenjo Shinichi—!" The commentator was clearly enthralled by this shot, his voice so loud it echoed throughout the entire arena. "While securing a point for Shiratorizawa in the final, it also seemed like he was issuing a challenge to Ichiroyama!"
Kurokawa yelled at the top of his lungs: "It's as if he's saying, 'Please welcome me!'"
After hearing this explanation, Xinghai woke up from his shock and frowned: "That guy doesn't know how to use please."
Hirugami smiled, "If the Demon King were to descend, there would be no air raid sirens."
Xinghai: ...
Xinghai's hand, wiping his sweat, froze in mid-air, his expression alternating between disgust and disgust. Finally, he managed to utter, "Are you having a Chuunibyou attack?"
Hirugami was silent for a few seconds before smiling and saying, "It's just for the sake of the occasion. Please don't look like you want to throw up, okay? If Guang comes, even I'll get hurt."
Xinghai said expressionlessly: "Ugh."
Hirugami:.
He's really going to get hurt.
*
"I didn't even see that ball clearly before it flew towards me." Matsumoto exhaled and readjusted his stance, looking at the back of the person walking towards the serving point and complaining, "Powerful server, so scary."
"That's how a jump serve works," Hei Liang said with a smile. "Even Miya Yu-kun, who's been active since junior high, after watching so many videos, have you learned how to catch his ball?"
Matsumoto:……
Matsumoto: "Don't be so discouraging, Senior."
Before IH, Idayama and Inarizaki arranged several practice matches. At that time, Matsumoto was full of confidence and boasted to several seniors that he would definitely be able to receive the ball from the opponent's setter, but the final result was just like now, and he could only be stunned.
It's really scary. The serve is just like a weapon. If you practice it to the extreme, you can kill the enemy with one blow.
Hei Liang is well aware of the principle of "one stick, one sweet date" and says: "Focus on Xiao Guang, you are also our key server. You can't lose to him in terms of floating balls."
Matsumoto blushed: "Even if you praise me, Senior..."
Sakuhaya, who was standing in the row in front of the two people who were talking, said nothing. If it weren't for his position, he would have wanted to stay away from them.
The senior with squinty eyes and the senior who believes everything they say, no matter whether they are together, they are disaster level.
What finally interrupted their conversation was the referee's whistle, and No. 9 Shiratorizawa served for the second time.
Will the opponent still use three steps this time, or a powerful jump serve with the right hand?
No, Iizuna ordered everyone to retreat.
This ball is a jump shot——
The ball was still going fast, and Goossen pressed his wrist down, "I'll do it!"
But it was obvious that the opponent's floating ball level was also extremely high. The moment the volleyball touched Gu Sen's wrist, it suddenly seemed to have self-awareness and jumped lightly to the right.
Finally, it landed only half a palm away from his shoe.
"Shiratorizawa scores!"
At this time, the numbers on the scoreboard were rolling, Shiratorizawa 2:0 Ichiyama.
Hyogo——
Seeing this, Gong You scooped a spoonful of pudding and mumbled, "What a disgusting ball."
Miyaji was eating rice balls. Unlike Odai who stayed in Tokyo for another day, Inarizaki returned to Hyogo yesterday afternoon. Although they lost the game, it was summer vacation after all, so the two of them could still rest. They didn't really feel like doing homework, so for some unknown reason, they turned on the TV and started watching the broadcast of Shiratorizawa and Ichiyama.
"You're actually praising him." Miyaji was surprised because he knew Gong You's character and the true meaning of the word "disgusting" to him. "I thought you thought Jian Chengjun was stupid."
Gong You scooped another spoonful of pudding and waved his hand calmly: "There's no conflict between being stupid and being powerful."
No matter how Miyaji looked at it, he felt something was wrong, and finally his eyes were fixed on the pudding in Miyayoshi's hand.
His expression suddenly went blank for a few seconds. If he remembered correctly, he seemed to have seen a pudding box in the trash can next to the refrigerator when he took the rice ball. So now the question is, whose pudding is this bastard eating now?
Miyaji suddenly jumped up and grabbed the twins by the neck: "That's my pudding!!"
Even when his neck was being strangled, Gong You stubbornly swallowed it, saying, "Whatever I see is mine."
It's completely bandit logic.
Wait, Gong You also realized something, threw the empty pudding box behind him, and grabbed Gong Zhi's neck.
"Whose rice ball are you eating, Zhuzhi!!!"
