Volleyball: The Time of Resonance

The collaboration performance between the Otoko Volleyball Club and the Drama Club took place in the afternoon.

Yinchuan Mian also looked at Kuroo Tetsurou with a "how amazing, how incredible" expression as he kept sending messages to other people on his phone.

"Everyone, stop resting now. It'll start in an hour. Let's get our makeup done!" Miss Ye Ying suddenly appeared and assigned two people each to handle makeup and clothing.

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

"Cool!! Akaashi! Why don't the girls in our drama club ask us to collaborate?"

Mokuto stood at the school gate, loudly praising the gate adorned with Halloween horror elements. Suddenly, he remembered that the Otoko volleyball club was currently spending time with a group of girls, and he felt a pang of envy.

"I want to dance with girls too!!"

His unusual hairstyle and loud voice successfully attracted the attention of other passersby.

"What a noisy person."

"Holy crap, it's Kotaro Bokuto! What's he doing here at Otokoma?!"

"You watch volleyball too! Yinchuan Mianye is from our school, why can't he come?"

"I don't really look at it. It's just that a junior from before really liked Mutu's hairstyle, saying it looked like he had put a loincloth upside down on his head."

......

One second the wooden rabbit was full of passion, the next it was as stiff as a stone sculpture.

Pocket... loincloth.

"Bokuto-san? Bokuto-san?!"

......

"Tch, I'd like to see what kind of activity it is. It's just dancing with girls. If I wanted, I could dance alone with Mei-hua in the middle of the square at night!"

General Yu stood at the very front of the group, one hand outstretched, and said nonchalantly.

"Huh? You jerk! With your arrogant personality, Miss Meihua must have been deceived by you to like you!"

"Oh dear, all you can do is be jealous."

"The school festival at Otokoma is very lively." Numai Kazuma kept scanning his surroundings.

The air was filled with the aroma of takoyaki and the sweet scent of candied apples. The booths of various clubs were filled with shouts and calls, and occasionally a burst of music could be heard, perhaps from the wind band.

"Wow, the maid café is practically the NPC at every school festival." Daisho Yu, strictly adhering to male virtues, only glanced at it before looking away.

"They seem to be boys?" Numai Kazuma asked hesitantly.

"What the hell is that?" Oe Yu turned his head back abruptly and looked at it carefully again and again.

It really is a guy...

"They sacrificed a lot for the organization."

"What if they'd like to?" the current captain of Slytherin said with a smile.

"...Such a flexible bottom line. If Mei-hua asked me to do this, maybe I could do it too?"

"No, stop talking, General Yu," a team member reached out and put his hand in front of General Yu's face to stop him, "It's disgusting."

......

"Wow, this haunted house poster is so professionally drawn!" Kotaro Mokuto excitedly leaned closer to the picture.

"Isn't that a stall selling handmade products over there? Let's go take a look!" Konoha Akiki pointed to a stall not far away.

Sakuragi felt a little helpless. "They acted like they were in an amusement park."

Kyoji Akaashi was a step behind Kotaro Bokuto and just happened to hear those words.

It doesn't really matter, Captain...aren't you going to stop Bokuto?

Five minutes ago, Kyoji Akaashi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the captain and the others finally arrive, and now he has successfully regained that breath.

You'll get lost, you really will get lost!!

......

Sato Takeshi from Teiko Junior High School brought his friends to Otokoma.

A friend who isn't in the volleyball club said, "It feels like every corner of Otokoma School is bubbling up with bubbles, the kind of... happy bubbles."

"Our school's campus festival is pretty good, but it doesn't seem this 'crowded'?"

Sato Takeshi felt it was normal and refuted his friend's words, saying, "Our campus is much bigger than Otokoma's, and this place is just lively, isn't it?"

Upbeat music played over the loudspeaker, interspersed with announcements that "the limited-edition dishes for a certain class are about to sell out."

"So where exactly is your nemesis's stage? I can't see it." The boy looked around and spotted the guy with the strange hairstyle in front of him.

"Wow, look! His hairstyle is so cool!"

"...Why is Fubuki here?!"

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

The stage setting is simple yet full of symbolism.

A hazy yellow moon, illuminated by soft light, hangs in the deep blue sky behind the stage, while a rose tree stands in the center.

It wasn't a real tree; it was made by members of the drama club and the volleyball club using metal branches, which were then painted silver-gray.

A few dark green velvet leaves still hung sparsely on it.

Kuroo Tetsuro felt that he looked a bit bald, but the head of the drama club suspected that he had a problem with his aesthetic sense.

The drama club president, who initially had certain biases about Kuroo Tetsuro, found out after getting to know him that he was a bit of a jerk and wasted his good looks and physique.

If Kuroo Tetsuro is suitable to be a mute groom, then Ginkawa Mian is the real mute groom.

Yinchuan is so quiet, so serene, so beautiful!

Ye Ying, who plays a poor student, really wants to marry a guy like that! She'll take any girl, she'll take him!!

(The drama club has a very flexible sexual orientation)

The heavy, deep red velvet curtain was drawn up, and everyone quickly placed the scattered thick books, the rustic desk, and a dim, old-fashioned table lamp under the tree.

"Ohhh! It's starting, it's starting!!"

"Wooden Rabbit, watch quietly."

"Okay, Captain..."

The velvet fabric was slowly pulled back, and when the lights shone on the center of the stage, it made a "thump" sound.

The melodious music began to play—

A girl appeared under the tree, wearing a faded blue dress, pacing anxiously. Her voice was clear and full of pain, echoing in the silent theater.

He said he'd dance with me if I gave him a single red rose, but where in my garden can I find a red rose?

The lights shifted slightly with the girl's words, the blue of the sky deepened, and the moon appeared even colder.

The professor's son appeared in the light.

His makeup was exquisite, with a delicate blush around his eyes. He wore a gorgeous outfit, and even his shorts were adorned with tiny diamonds.

"Didn't Kuroo say that Ginchuan was playing the female lead? Why is she dressed as a man?" With his superior eyesight, Kotaro Bokuto recognized yet another character and a bunch of question marks flashed across his head.

"Bokuto-san, the heroine in 'The Nightingale and the Rose' is indeed her...he."
