There is only one semi-final today, and it is scheduled for the morning. Shiratorizawa's game ended early, but there was no game later, so they rested in place before taking the bus back to school.

Afternoons are the daily training time. Because it was a competition, Ushijima Wakari suspended his daily long-distance running, and after practicing in the team for a while, he packed up his things and went back to the dormitory.

Far away, he saw a familiar figure walking slowly in front of him. There was a big difference in the speed between the two people, and even if Ushijima Ruoli didn't deliberately accelerate, it didn't take long for him to easily catch up with the other party. When he got closer, he noticed that the boy seemed to be thinking about something, and he didn't notice him at all.

Want to say hello?

Ushijima Ruoli was thinking about it, when the other party's gaze suddenly flickered to this side, and the two met their gaze.

Hoshino was stunned for a moment: "Captain? Why are you here? "Such a big person, he didn't even notice it. He looked behind him and thought.

"Just finished training."

In other words, I saw it on the way back. Hoshino Ryo suddenly let out an "oh", and then there was no follow-up. In fact, he had been thinking about what Han Hejiang had told him just now, and his mind was still a little messy, and he couldn't find any topic for a while.

After thinking for a while, he finally popped up: "How was today's game?" After saying this, he regretted it a little, and it was better not to ask this question.

As soon as I wanted to open my mouth to change the topic, I heard Ushijima Ruoli next door say: "It's nothing special, I've also fought with the White Water Pavilion before, except for the main attack of the previous junior high school direct promotion, the strength of the others is average." ”

The Hakusuikan is also divided into junior high school and high school, and the volleyball team of the junior high school is good in the prefecture, and Shiratorizawa often goes there for special recruitment.

Hoshino Ryoshi nodded, something suddenly flashed through his mind, and he subconsciously said, "What about Wuye?" After saying that, he reacted, "Uh, I mean that Qingcheng's opponent today is called ...... Karashi, right? ”

When Ushijima Ruoli heard this, he couldn't help frowning when he met Toru Kawa before he left today: "I know." ”

Ryo Hoshino breathed a sigh of relief: "What does the captain think of them?" After all...... They also won Qingcheng. ”

"Qingcheng's strength is not invincible." Ushijima Ruoli's expression was faint, "It's just that Kazukawa is strong alone." ”

Ryo Hoshino hesitated: "But-"

"You think we're going to lose?"

Hoshino Ryo was startled, and turned his head to look at him, but met the gaze from the ace. The boy's gaze was very heavy, and there was an inexplicable sense of oppression. Before he could say anything, he saw Ushijima Ruoli frowning and speaking: "Or are you still afraid of losing?" ”

Hoshino's pupils twitched. He shook his lips, and finally closed his mouth weakly.

Ushijima Ruoli frowned.

He didn't understand why the boy felt this way, but it didn't prevent him from expressing his opinion: "Shiratorizawa won't lose, and it can't be lost." An orange-haired figure appeared in front of him, and he squinted, "—whoever the opponent is." ”

After speaking, he stopped, and Ryoshi Hoshino subconsciously stopped.

"I've arrived." Ushijima said.

Ryo Hoshino raised his eyes when he heard this, and the dormitory building of the third grade arrived.

"That'...... I'll go first. ”

"Hmm." Ushijima Wakari turned around and walked towards the dormitory building,

The man behind him suddenly stopped him: "Captain." ”

He tilted his head: "? ”

Ryo Hoshino stands at a fork in the road,

The orange-red glow fell on half of his face, making it impossible to see his expression.

He was silent for a while, and a very shallow smile curled up at the corner of his mouth: "You have a good rest." …… Come on. ”

Ushijima paused and bowed slightly.

On October 27, the day of the final of the final of the representative of Harugao in Miyagi Prefecture.

When Ryo Hoshino and Eito Hanhe walked into the gymnasium, the stands were almost full. There was no need to think about the position in front at all, Hoshino Ryo swept around, and pulled Hanhejiang to sit down at the high point in the back row.

"It's not bad here, you can see the whole audience!" After sitting down, Han Hejiang said with some surprise. He turned his head and saw Ryo Hoshino looking thoughtful: "What's wrong with you?" It didn't look like he was happy. ”

Since the last incident, Han Hejiang has been quite concerned about his state, for fear that the same thing will happen again.

"It's fine." Ryo Hoshino shook his head and looked at the center court, where the Karashino players who entered first were stretching on the opposite court. He was silent for a while and asked, "You watched the match between Wuye and Qingcheng yesterday, how is their strength?" ”

"I only watched the second half of the third inning." Shiratorizawa has only played two games with Shirasuikan, and he only passed after watching Shiratorizawa's game, "Karano's setter is very powerful, and the passing is very accurate. Oh yes, have you ever heard of [Weirdo Aggro]? ”

Weirdo aggro?

Seeing his doubts, Han Hejiang explained: "Wuye's No. 9 and No. 10, they will use a rather strange fast attack, which is extremely fast, and it is difficult to block the net. ”

Hearing this, Ryoshi Hoshino, who went back and looked through the information last night, immediately understood. Although he hadn't dreamed of that orange-haired little and classmate, but when he played wild ball before, he knew that [Grumpy Second Setter] was the teammate of the orange-haired classmate, and then thinking back to the fast attack they showed that time, Hoshino Ryo had a number in his heart.

But—

"Only that fast attack? What about the others? ”

"Hey, if anyone else is okay?" Han Hejiang scratched his head, "I feel that the two of them are playing quite closely, and their strength should be about the same." ”

"Really......" Ryo Hoshino frowned slightly.

Han Hejiang patted him: "Don't worry, we have Ushishima seniors here, and we won't lose!" You'll take care of your injuries, come back to train when the time comes, and try to get the right position to play in the national competition! ”

Hoshino paused, and just as he wanted to say something, he heard the cheerleaders in front of him suddenly start shouting: "Shiratorizawa - Shiratorizawa!" ”

It was someone of Shiratorizawa who entered.

Ryo Hoshino then stopped.

It's useless to say anything now, and when the game starts, we'll know what happened.

It didn't take long for me to hear the overhead radio "Zla": "-Now start the Miyagi Prefecture Men's Representative Decision Match of the All Japan Volleyball High School Players' Rights Conference, and the match between Miyagi Prefectural Karano High School and Shiratorizawa Gakuen High School." …… Now it's time to invite players from both sides to play. ”

Ryo Hoshino quietly watched his teammates come on the court one by one. Then, a long whistle was heard.

- The game has finally begun

。

*

"On the right,

Right!! ”

"I'm coming!"

"Ho ——!!"

"What a pass!"

The ball is passed in the hands of the player of Shiratorizawa,

Finally flew to the familiar figure.

"Bang!!"

"Uh-huh!! Good smash!! "Hanhee Yong shouted excitedly," Ushijima senpai——!! ”

Xiao Cuntou jumped up and shouted a few times with the cheerleader, and then collapsed back to his seat: "First."

The first game ended quite quickly, and it doesn't seem to be very strong, right? He turned his head, but saw Ryo Hoshino staring straight at a certain place, and didn't hear his words.

Han Hejiang followed his line of sight - the scoreboard? What's so nice about this?

Without waiting for him to ask, he saw Ryo Hoshino retract his gaze and looked very calm: "In addition to No. 9 and No. 10, Wuye is also very strong. ”

Han Hejiang instantly forgot what he wanted to ask just now, and followed his words and said, "It's true, but the others are okay?" ”

“…… Not necessarily. ”

"Really? Then I'll see later. ”

Seeing Han Hejiang move his gaze back to the court, Ryo Hoshino couldn't help frowning.

He'd seen it too many times, plus he reviewed it again last night, so he could be 100% sure-

The score of the first game was the same as in the dream.

The left hand in his pocket clenched into a fist hard.

In case of...... Is it just a coincidence?

With a very different anxiety from Hanhejiang, he focused his attention on Center Court.

The second game was soon underway. Ryo Hoshino maintained a high level of concentration, looking at each ball while comparing the details of the dream in his mind.

Because there is more than one ball used in the game, he can not feel every ball in his dreams, so the comparison is quite difficult.

Do you still have to wait until the end of this game?

He looked at the scoreboard frequently, feeling anxious.

Unlike him, the Hanhe Jiang Yong next door watched it with relish, but as the game progressed, his expression slowly became solemn.

From the middle of the game, Shiratorizawa never opened the score like in the previous game, Karashino bit the back, and the two teams were inseparable. And at the end of the game, this situation became more and more obvious, and even-

"Karano serves, Shiratorizawa's pass is beautiful! Tiantong jumped, it's a fast attack! - Oh! Hinata successfully touches the ball! Chance Ball!! The narrator said excitedly, "Hinata and Tanaka started running at the same time!" Who will this Shadow Mountain choose? ”

Under the watchful eye, the boy in the black No. 9 jersey jumped on the spot, and then waved his left arm quickly.

Setter smash!!

"Beautiful!! Kageyama's judgment was very accurate, and Karashino overtook Shiratorizawa and got the game point!! ”

"Ahhh——!hhh Hanhe Jiang Yong rubbed his head irritably, "Why is Wuye so pestering!" ”

Ryo Hoshino was silent. If he remembers correctly, the end of the game should have been very close, as the ball was changed quickly, which led to his very strong impression of the balls.

The two men looked at the pitch with their own thoughts, and the next goal was already open

It's started.

Karashino serves.

He remembered that after the ball was picked up, the person who smashed the ball should be Ohira-senpai.

As soon as he finished thinking about it, the boy wearing the No. 4 uniform on the field jumped up and dunked the ball.

Ryo Hoshino's eyes were heavy.

After Shiratorizawa scored, the next goal was not him, but according to the score, it should be Karano who scored.

"- Cover the attack! Karano gets the game point again! ()”

......

“——? ()_[()]?『 See the latest chapter. Complete Chapter'()"

"Coach Shiratori Sawa Wasatori called the first timeout!"

Ryo Hoshino couldn't help but close his eyes. Han Hejiang next to him thought he was worried about the game situation, and patted him comfortingly: "It's okay, I believe we can definitely win!" ”

Ryo Hoshino didn't bother to reply to him, and when the whistle blew, he looked at the court again.

Although everything just now has been matched with the dream before, he still wants to see it again-

"Karano serves!"

He forced himself to calm down and followed the ball.

He remembered that this ball should have been served to hang on the net, and in the end, the serve was missed-

The moment he saw the ball falling, Ryo Hoshino's pupils suddenly shrank, and he stood up suddenly.

Han Hejiang was taken aback: "What's wrong?!" ”

"Kageyama served and wiped the net, Wusei reacted quickly and saved the ball, the white cloth immediately followed, and Tiantong scored quickly!"

"Good!!" Han Hejiang then stood up, clapping and saying to him, "That tennis ball just now was too thrilling, and you were also scared, right?" Fortunately, Ah Gong reacted quickly! ”

Hoshino Ryo didn't have time to care.

He frowned, seemingly watching the game seriously, but in fact his mind was racing.

Did he remember the goal just now? Or is it ......

He frantically recalled the scene in his dream, and before he could confirm it, he heard Han Hejiang next door shouting excitedly: "Good smash!" One more point! ”

The surging thoughts were instantly pulled back, and Ryo Hoshino quickly glanced at the score.

28:27, Shiratorizawa's round.

He looked at the court, and although he tried to keep comparing the ball behind him, he couldn't keep up with the train of thought because of his distraction. But...... And the final score.

"Tanaka smashes the ball! Karano equalizes the score! ”

"Karano touches the ball, Hinata follows very well, Kageyama setter, it's [Weirdo Fast Attack]!! Karano overtakes! ”

"-Ushijima smashes the ball, a beautiful counterattack!"

The situation on the field is stalemate, and the audience off the field is also very nervous.

It's another goal-over.

"Karano has got the game point again......" Han Hejiang thought in a broken way on the side, while Ryo Hoshino stared at the court without saying a word.

"Karano serves! Shiratorizawa made a good pass, and the ball was passed to Ushijima, and it was three more people blocking the net! - Nishiya has been saved!! ”

"Follow up!" The blonde man sitting on the sidelines stood up excitedly.

Two players adjusted one and cushioned the ball and sent the ball back to Shiratorizawa's court.

Han Hejiang's eyes lit up: "Chance ball!" ”

On the field, Kenjiro Hakubu was already standing in the corresponding position, he looked at the ball flying towards him and raised his arm.

To our family's main attacker -

Get out of the way!!

"White cloth passes! It's Ushijima!! ”

The tall figure jumped up in front of the net, and he grabbed the gap in the net on the opposite side and waved his arm down vigorously.

"-Bang!!"

There was silence in the arena for a few seconds, and then there was a fierce cheer from the stands opposite.

General Hanhe Jiang Yong was a little dumbfounded: "Huh? Was that Ushijima-senpai stopped just now? Am I having a problem with my eyes? Hoshino—" He turned his head to look at the person next door, only to see that the other party was also blank and stunned.

The next second, the silver-haired boy fell back to his seat, covering his eyes with one hand.

- Score, no change.!
