Volleyball: The Time of Resonance

Yinchuan Mian is the type to act on impulse; on the other side, a 3v3 free combination match is underway, and the two of them can't easily join in. (What kind of strange game is 4v4?)

Moreover, Kozume Kenma refused to play a full match; he only agreed to practice a few balls with him after Sheep's persistent pleading.

It's really hard to resist when faced with Mianye's bright, sparkling eyes... So, are you really not considering making a living based on your looks? It would be much easier... It wouldn't be good if someone took advantage of you.

Sheep's brains work relatively slowly.

Kozume Kenma pinched the cheek of Ginkawa Mianya, who was hugging him from behind, and the two of them opened Kuroo's bag together and took out a volleyball.

We're using a wooden rabbit volleyball here, so there's one left.

Yinchuan Mian also found a grape-flavored candy and put it in her mouth.

The two little ones walked to another volleyball court and warmed up.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could still see the volleyball flying over there. Kozume first carefully felt the volleyball with his fingertips before signaling with his eyes that Mianye should get ready to start.

Neither of them spoke, but they moved in perfect unison as soon as one of them made a move.

Kouzhua first chose the relatively easy-to-hit high ball at position 2.

Yinchuan Mianye jumped confidently, and the volleyball slammed into the opposite No. 6 court with a "bang".

He turned his body to the side in mid-air as instructed, but when he swung the ball, it did not hit the expected spot.

QWQ Something seems off; the brown curly cotton is looking pitifully at the grinding with its blue eyes.

Kozume Kenma sighed, "You've only hit me once, how could I possibly see the problem clearly?"

I'm just a human being, after all...

The second time, the teamwork was still fine, but the volleyball still landed on court number 6.

Kozume Kenma was silent for two seconds, then took out his phone, chose a suitable spot, propped it up with his backpack, and started recording.

On the third attempt, I jumped again from the net at position 2. Although the ball landed much further to the side, it still hit the 6th court.

The two cats watched the video head to head, while Kuzaki Mamo turned the video speed up to 0.5x, slowing down the scene.

Yinchuan Mian did indeed twist her body at the moment of contact with the ball, facing the right half of the opposite court, but her body height had already decreased, and the position of the volleyball was no longer the most convenient.

"You run first," Kozume Kenma suggested.

"what?"

"You jump at the net first, adjust your posture according to what you think is right, and then I will pass the volleyball to you."

"Huh? Is it a negative rhythm?"

They occasionally use the tacit understanding between childhood friends to unexpectedly create negative rhythms during matches, and they are quite familiar with this tactic.

"Your position and mine are relatively close, and because you're a middle blocker, the ball you're given is relatively fast."

Mushroom Cat said weakly, "My arms are already sore before we've even started."

"Such a short time is not enough for you to adjust your posture the instant the volleyball comes into your hand."

"Okay! I got it!"

In private, Mian is also a bit silly...

However, in addition to these, Kozume Kenma also noticed something else: Mianya's hitting point seemed to be too high.

It's not very noticeable, only about one or two centimeters compared to normal.

......

"Bokuto-san is really amazing." After the 3v3 match ended, Kuroo Tetsuro exclaimed and put his arm around Bokuto Kotaro's neck.

"HEY! HEY! HEY! After all, I'm the best ace attacker!!"

Looking at the ace who was completely bewildered after being coaxed, Akaashi Kyoji couldn't help but admire Kuroo-senpai's amazing ability to make friends.

I turned around to get a drink of water, only to find another area where people were practicing.

It turned out that Kozaki-kun just looked listless. Since he had nothing to do at the moment, the boy simply crossed his arms and started watching.

After 10 seconds of not noticing Akaashi Kyōji, the wooden rabbit turned around with a "Hey hey hey" sound and found its setter.

A moment later, all six of them looked at the other side.

Focused on adjusting his weapon, Lone Claw Grinding didn't notice N's line of sight.

"Mianye, jump higher!"

The volleyball shoes screech as they stomped against the ground, and Yinchuan Mian leaped into the air like a cat, every muscle in her body straining.

At the moment he reached the highest point, even though there was no ball in front of him, he did his best to turn sideways and hit the ball towards the boundary between courts 4 and 5.

After a slight fall, the body fully rotated, and the volleyball reached the palm of the hand simultaneously—"thud!"

The volleyball hit the spot they wanted.

It worked!!

"Grind!!"

"Ken..."

Yinchuan Mian also turned around excitedly, but his jumping motion froze. A row of heads stared at him, each with a different expression.

Kotaro Bokuto pointed incoherently at Minamoto Ginkawa and then at himself, looking at Kyōji Akaashi with a helpless, panicked, worried, and heartbroken expression.

"Senior Wood Rabbit, the power contained in your little slash is something they can't replicate. You are still the strongest."

In short, he successfully restored the Wood Rabbit's energy, which had been damaged by the egg-shaped eyes.

Kyoji Akaashi's brows were still furrowed almost imperceptibly. Otoko was truly full of talent; this defeat at IH would surely become a surging source of motivation.

No, this IH competition can hardly be considered a defeat. As a team unique in high school that does not have third-year students playing, the first-year and second-year students had very little time to gel together, and the first-year students had just switched from soft volleyball to hard volleyball.

Achieving such results is already unexpected, and it seems that Yinju's ambition is set on winning the championship.

The mushroom cat's eyes were about to shatter under the gaze. Yinchuan Mian stepped forward to block the thin Momo. Heiwei Tielang gestured with his hands to drive away the various large animals that were watching the show, whether flying, running, or swimming.

"What are you looking at? Didn't we already know that our middle blocker is a genius?"

"Damn it, Kuroo, she really wants to steal my girlfriend!!"

"Don't even think about it, the three of them are childhood friends."

"Ahhhhh."

The noisy half-day volleyball trip came to an end just like that.

Kuroo Tetsuro was walking back with his two cats.

"You two really gave me a big surprise." The black-haired boy smiled happily.

"Moyan, I never expected you to volunteer to play volleyball. I'm so touched. Do you like volleyball even more now?"

"...No, it's because Mian also wants to play a small slash."

"What's with all this 'grinding' stuff? What's wrong with just saying you like volleyball?"

Yinchuan Mianye, who was already yawning, thought, "I'll be taken away by the god of volleyball and have to play volleyball day and night."

Lone Claw Grinding shivered and glared angrily at the sheep.

"You guys shouldn't have been fighting for long, why are you so sleepy?" Kuroo Tetsuro asked with some concern as he watched Ginkawa Mianya close his eyes and refuse to open them.

Is Mian's drowsiness getting worse lately?

"Because I'm growing taller," the half-closed blue eyes opened, a thin layer of mist in them, "the ant army is busy building the bone skyscraper at night, so I can't sleep well."

Kuroo Tetsurou ruffled his hair. "If you're really sleepy, just go to sleep when we're here or when the members of Otokoma are around."

"Okay."

...... ......

Thanks to Tetsuro Kuroo's words, the two who went to the volleyball club on a school day attracted the attention of the other members of the volleyball team.

Coach Naoi, even though your height isn't particularly outstanding among your classmates, you're still incredibly noticeable!

The success of Yinchuan Mianye and Kozaki Mina inspired others to work even harder.

This is mainly reflected in Yamamoto Taketaka.

Yamamoto Taketora: Ahhh, those two listless groups have succeeded! I must surpass them!

The national IH tournament was held in August, giving the teams that qualified for the national competition ample time, and those that didn't qualify even more time to adjust.

However, before the training match in Joshua, the drama club of Onkoma arrived first.

The cats from the Otoko Volleyball Club came to the Drama Club to try on clothes.

After agreeing to cooperate, Kuroo Tetsuro gave the head of the drama club the measurements of the cats when they were ordering the team uniforms.

So now everyone has received their own clothes.

Kuroo Tetsuro, holding a black feathered deep-V dress, fell into deep thought.

Yoru Eisuke was dressed in a retro gothic style, with layers of lace on the collar of his white shirt.

Hisense's Yamamoto Takeo and Fukunaga Shohei both wear medieval European clothing in different colors.

"I wonder what kind of clothes Mianya has." Kuroo Tetsuro quickly accepted the clothes and became curious about his childhood friend who had already gone to change.

"Should it be more refined? After all, she's the female lead." Yoruichi Eisuke also began to wonder.

"No, he should be the male lead no matter what," Kozume Kenma muttered under his breath.

Before anyone could see Yinchuan Mian after she had changed her clothes, they heard the satisfied conversation between the head and deputy head of the volleyball department.

After getting dressed, Yinchuan Mian didn't feel anything strange. She looked like she was wearing a very ordinary shirt and walked out of the door.

He was dressed in a black and white retro Gothic suit, with a white shirt underneath adorned with lace ruffles at the collar and cuffs, and a striking ruby ​​brooch on the collar that contrasted sharply with his blue eyes.

She wore a fitted black formal coat over her outfit, with an intricate silver chain dangling from her shoulders and neck, giving her an overall air of nobility with a touch of languidness.

"well?!"

"No way?!"

The lounge was filled with the sounds of cats who had never seen the world before.

"Mianye, you look absolutely stunning in that outfit," Yamamoto Taketaka said enthusiastically.

"Alright, everyone, go change your clothes. Let's rehearse once and see how it goes." Vice Minister Ye Ying was clearly interested as well.

Where does this thrill of forcibly taking a man come from? In the end, wasn't her own rose rejected? How despicable!!

Asking a group of people who have never acted in a play before, or who only played minor roles in elementary school, to try out such a large-scale scene is simply a disaster.

In the end, the supporting characters were sent to dance practice, leaving only the helpless and pitiful "lead actress" sitting on the expensive sofa in the practice room, with a layer of expensive fabric draped over her black shorts, inexplicably covering the part of her legs above the knees.

Staring at the red rose offered to him, the sheep blinked its blue eyes, momentarily speechless. "Perhaps what I wanted was a rose made of jewels?"

"Okay, I'll buy it for you."

"Ye Ying!! What are you doing?!"

The minister screamed.

...... ......

[Numai Kazuma: "I heard from Kuroo-senpai that you participated in a play."]

Numai Kazuma: "May I have the honor of watching?"

Numai Kazuma: (Round-headed snake, anticipating a JPG.)

Green Grass: It's a collaboration between the volleyball club and the drama club, and everyone participates.

Green Grass: The campus festival is open to the public.

Numai Kazuma: It's a collaboration? That's amazing!

Kazuma Numai: Can I know what the story is?

Green grass: [referring to "The Nightingale and the Rose"]

[Sato Takeshi: I never expected you to become the lead actress in a stage play.]

Sato Takeshi: Just wait, June, right? I'll take a day off to come and see what's going on!

grass:......

Green Grass: Did Little Black tell you that?

Sato Takeshi: Oh, yes, how did you know it was Kuroo who told me?

Yinchuan Mian also lay on the big bed, feeling confused.

How did Xiao Hei manage to do that? I never even saw them add any contact information—

[Sato Takeshi: Don't just disappear while we're chatting! You incredibly rude cat!]

Green Grass: I'm wearing men's clothing.

Green grass: It's prettier than you.

Sato Takeshi: Damn it! Of course I know! Don't think you can be so proud just because you have a pretty face! You're skinny and small; I could knock you out with one punch! You'd better build some muscle, kid!!

Green Grass: I'm pretty, and I even have a support fan made by a girl.

Sato Tsuyoshi: Aaaaaah!

Sato Tsuyoshi: (Screams like a gorilla.)

Yinchuan Mian also felt that most of the people she knew had some kind of problem. It was so strange. They seemed to be mentally challenged. Would she catch something from chatting with them?

Sheep put down her phone and pulled the covers over her head.

Sleep, sleep...

The clock in the living room was ticking away; it was only 9:30.

Kozaki Genmo, who was playing games until 10 PM, suddenly discovered that someone had surpassed him on the leaderboard for the duo competition.

His golden eyes narrowed as he opened the two people's messages and checked them repeatedly.

[nagi] 85% win rate in 1801 games

[Reo_7085] 100% win rate in 201 games

"?" Cat was puzzled. She opened the history of the next player and found that the other player had only played two-player games with the ID "nagi" and had no other game records.

Glancing at the score, which was only one point higher than hers and Mianye's, Mushroom Cat's fighting spirit ignited.

I just want to play a late-night ranked match as soon as I open my friends list.

Then I discovered that one of my childhood friends had been online an hour earlier.

Another childhood friend with the ID "Kuroko-chan playing a female character" sent a message urging her to go to sleep.

Kozaki Grinding: ......

The game console clicked off, plunging the room into darkness.

Kuroo Tetsuro waited until the account with the game ID "Apple Pie" logged off before stretching and lying straight on the bed.

You should get enough sleep, Momo, if you keep staying up late, you really won't grow taller.

Tetsuro Kuroo, who is currently 1.83 meters tall, exclaimed—
