Sugawara adjusted his grip on the hedgehog with one hand, turned his head to look at Kageyama, who had been released from his rigid state, and introduced: "Little hedgehog-chan, this is Nissan's junior, Kageyama Hi-kun, it's Kageyama Oni-chan." ”

The hedgehog, who was sitting steadily on Sugawara's arm, stared at Kageyama's face for three seconds, remembering his face firmly, and in the face of her neighbor Oni-chan's junior, she showed a rare smile and said in a sweet and polite voice, "Hello, Kageyama-chan." ”

"You...... Hello. Kageyama responds with some flattery, presumably as a child, who doesn't look as stiff as he used to be.

Faced with Ernie Sauce's juniors and the new Ernie Sauce, the hedgehog chose to abandon the new Oni Sauce and went to Sugawara, who had not seen each other for a long time.

"Ernie sauce is already three years old! Are you moving back?! "The hedgehog is like a little tail, and wherever Sugawara goes, she pulls his tracksuit jacket and follows him, refusing to part with him for a moment, just like a real brother and sister.

Sugawara, who was removing his luggage from the taxi, was stunned for a moment, and he apologized, "Uh...... I'm sorry Hedgehog Sauce, but I have no plans to move back at the moment. ”

“…… This, like this......" The hedgehog let go of his hand, and the hairy ears on the top of his head also fell with a wilt.

The hedgehog is a sensible child, and she knows very well that there is a 99% chance that she will not come back after leaving this place. When he was admitted to university, he must have chosen to live near the university, and he would choose Tokyo with better job prospects in the future. If you do the math, the number of times he needs to come back is really getting less and less. Even if you don't go to Tokyo, if you choose to come back after graduation, you will probably go straight back to your hometown where your current high school is located.

The life of the hedgehog and the life of Sugawara Takaji cannot be intertwined, just like they can't be brothers and sisters no matter how close they are.

"Ernie sauce, dry daddy——!" The hedgehog tried to shout in the loudest voice, and in addition to cheering like this, she didn't know what the role of her self who couldn't help so much else was, "Volleyball game!" To enter the national contest on TV! That's all she can do.

Sugawara looked at the little guy who suddenly cheered him up, froze for a moment, and quickly reacted and smiled helplessly, showing his best smile and agreed: "Hmm! Thank you, little hedgehog-chan, we will work hard to let Karasuno enter the spring high again! ”

Sugawara rubbed the hedgehog's head vigorously, and when he touched her dull hair, he pinched it a little unscrupulously, "Now, little hedgehog, Nissan has something I want to ask you." ”

"Shenma?" The hedgehog looked blankly at Ernie Sauce who asked for her help, she still remembered the last time she was asked recently, it was when her brother came back half a month ago and wanted to play volleyball because he had no friends and used her as a smasher.

Sugawara clasped his hands together and whispered, "I hope you can help me take care of Kageyama-kun, help me correct his awkward personality, so that he can be softer." ”

"Correction? Downy? The hedgehog subconsciously glanced at the place where Kageyama was standing, and it was like a chicken than a rooster compared to her, and there was no suspense at all. The hedgehog shook a little, hurriedly shook his head and refused: "...... No, it's not impossible! I...... I can't take care of it myself, how can I correct Ernie sauce......"

Sugawara looked at the little sister who was about to shake into a sieve and soothed: "Calm down, little hedgehog, you don't need to do anything, you just need to stay by Kageyama-kun's side, okay?" ”

“…… Alas? That's it, that's it, okay? The hedgehog looked at Sugawara with distrust, "Ernie-chan, you have a black history of making hedgehogs do things they can't do." "For example, ask a child who is unsteady to walk and falls to throw a volleyball or something.

"Aha......" Sugawara laughed awkwardly, when everyone has bear children, he is no exception to outsiders, "This time is definitely normal!" How about I let Kageyama-kun play with you! ”

"Isn't it really me playing with him?" I don't know why, but the hedgehog always feels like a better possibility. Although, Kageyama Oni-chan doesn't look like a childish person.

"It's normal this time, then Kageyama-kun will leave it to you." Sugawara folded his hands together and threw Kageyama to Hedgehog for temporary care, then took his luggage and pulled his dog Julio in the direction of home. He was a hundred reassuring of the hedgehog's ability to take care of people and heal people.

Of course, when he passed by Kageyama, he said something else: "Na Kageyama-kun, help me take care of the little hedgehog sauce for the time being." ”

"Okay." Kageyama, who had been left hanging out before, didn't know what the situation was at all, he simply thought that his seniors were busy, and his sister was lost or something, and this child didn't look like he was afraid of himself, well, it should be easy to take care of, or something.

It's all written on my face!

"......" bridge bean sack! Ernie Sauce!! Don't throw me to this fierce big brother ahhh......h

However, the hedgehog's silent call was useless, and she watched Sugawara Oni-chan walk in the direction of home with her luggage and the golden retriever. Leave her here with this dark-haired, unfriendly-looking brother......

"Q mouth Q ......" Ya Butterfly! He has seen it, and he is still laughing sinisterly, sinisterly!

Kageyama's [Unknown Expression] inflicts on the hedgehog a state of [Petrified] and [Bleeding].

The hedgehog stiffly avoided Kageyama's gaze, and secretly watched Ernie Sauce, who was gradually walking away, passing by the door of his house and nodding to the two people standing there, and the hedgehog who looked at them suddenly reacted......

I also play peek-a-boo——!!!

Do you want...... Please join him?

The hedgehog looked up and stole a glance at Kageyama, "Well, that ......" she swallowed, trying not to make her voice sound so shaky, "Nissan, you can play with you too?" ”

What the hell!

Accidentally shook the sound, and it made an ending note of unknown meaning selling cute and strict zhòng, and the hedgehog wanted to cover his face and squat down and roll to the sewer where no one would go to hide it!

Kageyama was thinking about the possibility of playing with the child, and his natural frown made him look very strict, and even his voice sounded very serious: "(ー'ー) Hmm! ”

The hedgehog shuddered at the sound. QAQ is still so scary! Ernie sauce, you pit me again, am I swollen, maybe take care of this Ernie sauce who looks angry all the time——!

The hedgehog who failed to communicate, the only friend who could ask for help was also pulled away by Sugawara, and she could only tremble and force herself to speak out and complete this important task!

"(╯_╰) Ni...... Nissan...... Let's play Hide-and-Seek sauce together-"QAQ bites his tongue——! I actually bit my tongue at such an important time——!

The hedgehog was all Spartan, looking nervously as if he hadn't heard the last word clearly, his face was dazed, and Kageyama was thinking about it, hoping that the other party could give a reaction, so as not to let the atmosphere go on so awkwardly.

"You ......" Kageyama was silent for a moment, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and then asked with a stern expression, "Are you alright?" ”

"QAQ is?" The hedgehog looked at the person not far away a little blankly, he spoke just now? It's as if he didn't say it. He didn't seem to be as intimidating as she thought he was? Could he be the same as the ripe-looking Hyioni-chan? Is it the outside and soft on the inside?

"Dumb tape." The hedgehog walked over and tentatively grabbed Kageyama's coat, and after not being refused, she relaxed a little and pulled the stiff Kageyama in the direction of the other two, "Let's go, let's play together." ”

"Huh? Well! ”

High school students and junior high school students stand together, and it's really different. The hedgehog, who was pulling Kageyama's coat, looked at the three people standing together. They are completely different in height and aura.

Kageyama Oni-chan, who is in the upper grades, looks much more mature than the other two, and Ernie Jonge looks very tough, with a strong aura, and he doesn't show weakness when he stands with high school students, but it's just ...... Compared to high school students, his altitude is still a little lower. Needless to say, Ernie Sawada-chan is completely outside the circle, outside the atmosphere. Not tall, no aura, thin, and I look like I'm a good bully.

The hedgehog consciously stood with Sawada, and the same kind should choose the same kind.

The game of peek-a-boo has become a little more interesting because of the addition of another person, and the hedgehog has a lot of fun, if you can ignore the time when you are halfway through the game, Kageyama and Skylark Oni-chan suddenly get up, and they don't admit defeat and keep proposing to play another game.

When the game is at its most lively, the hedgehog and Sawada are tired and have to stand in the middle of the road.

"_(:з」∠)_Kageyama Oni-chan hedgehog is sleepy...... Want to sleep ......"

"One more game, I'm going to win!"

"') Hmph."

"(T-mouth T) Skylark-senpai, I want to go home......"

The lark and Kageyama seem to be on the same page, no one will let anyone, and whoever loses will always ask for another game, and the one on the other side will definitely agree.

The hedgehog couldn't remember how she fell asleep, and when she opened her eyes again, she was already lying on the bed in her bedroom, and downstairs came the sound of her father sneezing because of allergies, as well as the sound of the door opening and saying good morning.

It's the voice of Ernie Sugawara......

……

…………

………………

Today is the weekend——!

The hedgehog suddenly reacted, sat up from the bed suddenly, rushed out of the room without even changing her clothes, rushed downstairs, walked through the living room, opened the door of the floor-to-ceiling window, put on slippers and rushed out of the yard.

"Ernie sauce oh hayo——!" Without even seeing the person clearly, the hedgehog once again rushed out like a small cannonball and pounced on the person.

It's tall and hard, and you can touch it...... Abdominal muscle? It still feels familiar......

Hedgehog believes that it is only half a month that they have not met, and it is impossible for Sugawara Oni-chan, who usually does not grow muscles, to train his abdominal muscles so quickly, and it is impossible for his soft belly to become hard. That is to say...... Okou O hugged the wrong person again——!!!

The hedgehog looked up and made further confirmation.

Sure enough, it's not! It's that Ernie sauce from yesterday again!

"Little hedgehog sauce, you love to pounce on people really have to be changed." Sugawara, who was standing aside with his dog, stretched out his hand and rubbed the hedgehog's head, "Look, your sudden attack scared people again." ”

"I'm sorry." The hedgehog immediately let go of Kageyama, who was stiff again, and she obediently took a few steps back. Looking at Kageyama, who was holding a volleyball, he asked, "Where are you going, Oni-chan?" ”

Sugawara said, "Go yo-yo Julio, and then go have a morning workout with the volleyball team in the middle of the day." ”

"Bullying junior high school students?" It's no wonder that hedgehogs think so, two high school students playing volleyball with junior high school students, whether it is height or strength, they are really bullying others.

"No! Why did you think of bullying? ”

The hedgehog replied as a matter of course: "Because, Ernie sauce, you are high school students......"

“…… You've forgotten about yourself, little hedgehog. ”

"Me?" The hedgehog pointed at herself stupidly, her face was blank, she stared at the spinning volleyball in Kageyama's hand, and suddenly reacted, "Huh? Alas, alas! Me, am I going too?! ”

"Of course!" Sugawara confidently introduced to Kageyama: "Don't underestimate the little hedgehog-chan, her motor nerves are no worse than Xiangyang, I can pack a ticket, in Xiangyang's absence, only the little hedgehog can cooperate with Kageyama-kun to play a fast attack!" ”

"O mouth O Oni sauce don't say such positive energy! I really thought I could hit a high school student's ball! The hedgehog had no confidence at all, shook his head frantically and refused: "No, no, no, I can!" ”

"Have faith in yourself, hedgehog, you are playing volleyball very well!" Sugawara shook his fist at the hedgehog encouragingly, hoping that she would change her mind and go play with them.

The hedgehog still refused: "It's just average! I'll subconsciously dodge fast breaks and heavy balls! ”

The hedgehog can play volleyball.,Probably from the time he was sensible.,Sugawara Ernie sauce, who lives next door, also just started to get in touch with volleyball.,Because at that time he hadn't joined the club and had no partners.,It's not fun to play alone.,So I pulled the hedgehog who lived next door to play together.。

After a long time, the hedgehog will naturally fight, but only to fight. Regardless of the technique, regardless of the success rate of receiving the ball, it is just a matter of being able to play!

No matter how much the hedgehog refused, in the end she was defeated by Sugawara's invitation to fold his hands. Soft-heartedness deserves to be cheated every time.

The volleyball club also has training every weekend. Occasionally, they play friendly matches against high school students, college students, or volleyball teams organized by big moms to practice their skills.

Sugawara and the others easily found the Nagamori middle school students who were playing a friendly match on the volleyball court in the community. He borrowed a few people from the surrounding teams and temporarily formed a new team to play against the students of the middle school.

The hedgehog is under a lot of pressure as a player, and she is the only one here who is the youngest, the shortest, and still a starter. She could hear people around her asking, "Is it okay for such a young child to start the first time?" "The ball will keep going to her." "Where is she...... It can't be a secondary attacker, right?! ”

The hedgehog, who was very soft and easy to push down, shrunk her shoulders, she tried to reduce her sense of storage, but it was useless, and the people around her were always paying attention to her who was the thinnest and the smallest.

"Qkou Q Koji Oni-chan, I'm not good......" The hedgehog whispered to Sugawara, but the friendly match had already begun.

The opponent served first, and the volleyball flew violently in the direction where the hedgehog was standing at a very fast speed, and there was an uproar around, and people seemed to have expected the hedgehog to be attacked, and only shouted a few words "It's so despicable, and it really went according to the little girl!" "I have silently judged in my heart that the little girl who started at the end of this ball will definitely cry.

Kageyama, who was in the front row, turned his head sharply, his eyebrows furrowed violently, and he tried to reach out to catch the ball. But the ball was so fast that his fingers grazed the ball by a centimeter.

With a "snap", the ball hit the ground.

The hedgehog secretly opened one eye and looked at Kageyama, who was standing in front of him, the corners of his mouth twitched a little, and just now, when she was at the last moment, she reacted quickly and squatted down with her head in her hands, looking at Kageyama Oni-chan's face, ", what the hell." She believed that her squatting action with her head held must be so standard that it looked very unproductive.

"Don't mind, don't mind." Sugawara clapped his hands and said to the embarrassed hedgehog encouragingly, "Come on!" ”

The hedgehog stood up tremblingly, and under the suspicious eyes of the people around him, he didn't cry, didn't make a fuss, and continued to stand with his shoulders hunched, waiting for the second serve that bullied him that he couldn't catch.

In the opponent's service game, the hedgehog successfully dragged the back of the same team with zero defense and zero catch. Let the score show a state that looks like it is chasing and is well stuffed.

"Don't mind, don't mind." Sugawara was not nervous at all and continued to encourage the hedgehog, but Kageyama's expression on the side was as dark as the bottom of a pot, and his face was already full of "I really want to replace her." "What I said before is better than Xiangyang? "Why is the ball worse than Xiangyang! "Don't let me get out of the way!" ”

The hedgehog knows that she is useless, no matter how many times she plays with Sugawara Oni-chan, whenever the ball hits quickly, she always subconsciously dodges. She's ready to be scolded for being useless by the serious Kageyama Oni-chan, but ...... Nothing happened.

A huge shadow cast in front of her eyes, and her thick back completely protected her.

"Kageyama Oni-chan?" The hedgehog poked the back in front of him with a finger, which was hard and hard, different from the soft Ernie sauce, which made people feel very relieved for a moment of stiffness.

"Tsk......" Kageyama turned his head very unhappily and said, "It doesn't matter if you can't catch it, but you have to jump, you have to run, don't embarrass Sugawara-senpai, Sugawara-senpai trusts you so much!" ”

"O-mouth, O-oh, oh-oh." The hedgehog didn't understand the boy's inexplicable blood, but the other party asked her to run and jump, so she did it.

Kageyama took on a position to catch the ball, firmly blocking the useless hedgehog behind him and shouting, "It's time to counterattack!" ”

"Oh——!"

With Kageyama's protection, he finally had a chance to counterattack when the bullied score was already heartbreaking. However, because he couldn't touch the ball a second time, Kageyama temporarily lost the opportunity to hold the ball, and could only watch Sugawara hold the ball, and looked at him and shouted, "Hedgehog, catch it." ”

“？！” A gust of wind blew past Kageyama, who had a face of "seniors don't make trouble", and Sugawara's toss was quickly deducted as it flew backwards to the height of just over the net. The middle school students who had already done a good job of blocking the net watched the ball fall softly in their own courts.

The hedgehog fell from the sky and immediately rushed towards Sugawara, who had not yet lost his hand, and shouted, "Q mouth Q sorry Ernie sauce!" I don't have enough strength to buckle softly! ”

"Don't mind, don't mind." Sugawara smiled and rubbed the hedgehog's head, and turned his head to look at the stunned Kageyama, with a swaggering face.

Kageyama looked at the hedgehog with such explosive power and jumping power, she was as small as Shoyang, but she had the same extraordinary talent. Kageyama didn't want to know that the hedgehog's talent was completely inherited from his father, and my wife's family called it 'the ability to escape like a wind', which is something that can rarely be actually exercised in a dangerous battlefield.

Soon, however, Kageyama had new troubles, all of which were written on his face, making the hedgehog see them clearly and cry out with a stomachache.

What are you? Why aren't you a high school student, why aren't you a boy's expression——!
