After a friendly exchange with the brave generals of Hanhejiang (?) Hoshino rushed to the convenience store non-stop and apologized to the busy store manager. There were a lot of customers in the store, and the store manager didn't say anything more and asked him to come over and help with the cashier. The two of them were busy for more than half an hour, and finally got over the meal.

The manager still gave him the rest of the lunch. Hoshino Ryo hurriedly waved his hand, his face was ashamed: "Mr. Shibasaki, I can't accept this, I didn't help much today, and I'm late......"

"Uh-huh——?" The man dragged out his last note, "What if Dean Yumi sees that you have lost weight and comes to me to explain the law?" ”

“！ How could it be! Hoshino Ryo raised his head, and just as he wanted to explain, the man forcibly stuffed the bento into his arms: "Okay, okay, what's polite to me, I'm also your brother, right?" ”

Hoshino Ryo held the bento, looking stunned, and for a long time, he said "thank you" in a muffled voice.

Shibasaki Katsunori, who was already standing on the silver platform, waved his hand: "Okay, okay, go eat." The silver-haired boy obediently walked out of the store with a bento and sat down on the steps beside him.

In the distance, the sun had set, leaving only a faint circle of orange-red. The sparkling lights lit up in the city, and people who were anxious to return home hurried down the road.

Ryo Hoshino looked at the crescent moon in the sky, folded his hands, and said in a very low voice, "I'm moving." He picked up a piece of chicken curry and stuffed it into his mouth, the smooth touch made his amber eyes light up slightly, and then he ate faster.

After that, Ryo Hoshino ignored Shibasaki Katsunori's obstruction, and insisted on helping to finish the sanitation in the store before leaving. So Shibasaki Katsunori ignored Ryo Hoshino's refusal, directly packed two large bags of snacks and threw them to him, and asked him to send an email to himself when he got home.

Ryo Hoshino, who carried a bag in one hand as if it had been stocked: "...... it." Next time, I'll make some dessert for Mr. Shibasaki as a gift in return.

After making up his mind, he said goodbye to Shibasaki Katsunori and returned home. The three-flowered cat should have heard his footsteps, squatted at the door early, and rubbed his leg as soon as he entered the door, very well-behaved. Hoshino Ryoshi rubbed its head and pierced it mercilessly: "Are you hungry?" ”

Coke "meowed" ferociously. If you know, don't go quickly!

Originally, the first thing I did when I came back every day was to feed the cat, but it was really late today, and Ryo Hoshino didn't say much, so he took the frozen cat meal and went to the kitchen. Hoshino Ryo is a studio apartment with a small size and an open kitchen with a variety of simple kitchen utensils. The boy skillfully warmed the cat rice, and before he could put it down, the three-flowered cat ran over upside down.

Hoshino Ryo touched it: "Tsk, who are you with a temperament that only eats in your eyes?" ”

Coke, who was immersed in cooking, didn't bother to care about him at all.

I don't have much homework today, and Ryo Hoshino has already finished it at school. He teased the cat again, almost blowing it up, and then he withdrew his hand with a smile. Thinking back to today's game, Ryo Hoshino thought of something, went to the cabinet at the door and took his school bag, took out a piece of scratch paper, wrote the words "Saiyan" on the paper, hesitated for a while, and wrote "strange senior" on the other side.

Ryo Hoshino frowned, recalling the details of the dream and the game.

First of all, there is no doubt that the hair color and hairstyle of the two people are almost identical. It seems that there are no similar words heard in the back except for the first one, which is doubtful.

Then there's the blocking technique. In the dream, almost every time after the setter passed the ball, the Saiyan had already made a judgment, and then blocked the net at the moment when the attacker smashed the ball. And today's game ...... That strange senior is like this, he doesn't need to think, and his observation and reaction speed are amazing. and—

Both of them prefer to be killed directly.

Ryo Hoshino made a few heavy strokes on the last sentence.

Are they the same person?

He had always thought that the people in his dreams were not real, and he had never connected dreams with reality. If the people in it are real, then when are they? Is he the only one dreaming, or is everyone dreaming?

The boy thought distraughtly, his hand unconsciously turning the pen. The three-flowered cat, which was eating, was unconsciously attracted, and saw the right time to pounce on it.

I saw a sturdy figure suddenly appear—bypassing the rapidly spinning pen "pia" and landing on the paper full of words.

“！” Ryo Hoshino was startled at first, and then looked at the oily paw prints on the paper: "......"

Coke silently turned his head: Meow Meow has a weak heart.

Ten seconds later, a new human-cat battle began again.

"Why don't you eat well, don't run, stop me!"

*

"Hoshino!" Hanhe Jiang Yong ran into the classroom excitedly and woke up the sleepy Hoshino Ryo.

Hoshino Ryo burst out a few tic-tac-toe words on his head, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give you 10 seconds to say my last words." ”

"I'm on the volleyball team!!"

[Otherwise? If you don't score, wouldn't it be a waste of my time to practice with you in vain? That's why you woke me up? Do you know how important it is to catch up on sleep after class? Are you a fool? It seems that it was beaten too lightly yesterday......]

Hanhejiang Yong, who clearly saw the content in the other party's eyes: "......" Don't scold, don't scold.

Xiao Cuntou seemed to remember something and asked, "Oh, but didn't you tell your advisor that day that you wouldn't join the club?" ”

Ryo Hoshino frowned: "What do you mean?" A sense of foreboding suddenly rose in my heart.

"I just saw your name on the list!"

“！！” Ryo Hoshino suddenly refreshed, "Where to look?" ”

*

"Huh? The list is out, let me see, hmm-" Tendo Jue, who was passing by, approached the piece of paper pasted on the bulletin board, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully, and then laughed when he saw the three words [Ryo Hoshino], and beckoned to Ushijima Wakari in the back, "Wakari, look, there is indeed that first-grade silver-haired boy!" ”

He read the words printed at the bottom word by word: "If you have any doubts, please go to the sports office before school this afternoon to find the Eagle Craftsman Forging Coach, if you do not come, you will be deemed to have accepted the final result and will be automatically entered into the club list." ”

At the same time, the advisor knocked on the door and opened the door with a thick "come in": "Coach Eagle Craftsman, the list has been posted on the bulletin board." ”

Eagle Smith nodded, "Got it." ”

"By the way, you said yesterday that you would go back and check the information of the new students, how did you check?"

"Well, it's okay." The old man took a sip of tea and shook the folder in his hand. In the upper right corner of the first sheet of the folder is a photograph of a young silver-haired teenager.

In the following personal experience, the process of the opponent's elementary school being the master in the volleyball club and later transferring to the track and field high jump team is clearly written, but Washator Jiji frowned when he saw somewhere below.

I saw that in the column of family relations, there was a [none] written impressively.

"That Hoshino, what if he refuses to come?" The advisor asked with some concern, "He already said he didn't want to come......

He had given up, but after listening to it, the eagle craftsman forged and added his name with a wave of his hand, and said: If something goes wrong, he will bear it himself.

The old man looked at him calmly: "Then wait for him to come and tell me." ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard a knock at the door.

The advisor teacher and the eagle craftsman looked at each other for a few seconds, then walked over to open the door, and it was Ryo Hoshino, who had just finished reading the bulletin board, standing outside the door.

The man's heart was inexplicably weak for a second: "Cough, it's Hoshino-san." ”

"Hello." The silver-haired boy bowed politely, "I'm here to find the Eagle Craftsman Instructor." ”

"Come in." A deep voice came from inside, "Saito, you go get busy." ”

Ryo Hoshino pushed open the door and walked in, and the advisor could only close the door carefully, and then turned around and met a pair of curious eyes.

Advisor: "......"

Hanhejiang: "...... Haha, good teacher. Then he turned around and tried to slip away.

"Wait."

“？”

Xiao Cuntou turned around, and saw the man holding his glasses, and smiled slowly at him: "Hanhejiang, right?" Are you good friends with Hoshino-san? ”

He hesitated, "Huh? Be...... Right? ”

"Hehe, are you free? Let's talk, shall we? ”

Hanhejiang who was pulled away: "!? ”

What's going on??
