Shiratorizawa's new boss is a capable and extremely calm man, no less reliable than his predecessor, Ushijima Wakari, and seems to be a very authoritative captain.

This is the conclusion that Yukiro Hirakami came to after watching Shiratorizawa for almost 20 minutes. However, this cautious conclusion was overturned in just a few minutes after the match.

Yukiro Hiragami saw the silver-haired boy smiling like a chrysanthemum in the stands, and then took advantage of the two teams to shake hands and thank him, and had a Taiji-style "friendly" exchange with Inarisaki's setter with lightning speed.

If he was not mistaken, the silver-haired boy also stepped on the other party while he was not paying attention, and then dodged the other party's counterattack with great agility. The key is that these two people are doing such a thing, but they still have a smile on their faces, and they will maintain a peaceful appearance when the referee and coach look at them, without showing any traces.

Yukiro Hirakami: "......" should not be said, this kind of acting is indeed very "reliable", which makes people wonder that even if they don't play volleyball, maybe there is a way out as an actor.

However, this blessing soon fell on his head. The silver-haired boy had been talking to his teammates since he got off the field, and then suddenly walked over to them.

"Sajiu's seniors, Gusen's seniors, long time no see." Ryo Hoshino stopped two steps away from the four of them, first greeted the two old acquaintances, and then turned to the other two, "It's the Hoshikai seniors and the day god seniors of Outai, right?" It's been a long time, I've always wanted to see the 'little giant' and 'immovable day' of Outai, and when I saw it today, it was really imposing. ”

The boy's tone of voice is a little familiar, but it doesn't seem too eager, and with that generous smile, people can't help but feel good when they see it.

Yukiro swept the distance between them without a trace, not far or close, just at the best social distance. There was a faint hint of fresh floral fragrance on the opposite side, which smelled like an antiperspirant spray. Although this was not necessary, the other party's proper behavior obviously greatly pleased the mood of the Jing Minshan attacker, and the latter's expression visibly relaxed.

"Hello, first meeting." Yukiro Hirakami smiled, "I played a good game just now. ”

When Ryo Hoshino heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "I can't compare to a few seniors, and it's very difficult to fight." Inarizaki is indeed a very formidable opponent and cannot rest for a moment. Luckily, my teammates were in good shape today, so it didn't make my fool so obvious. ”

"You're a good jumper." Xinghai Guanglai suddenly spoke. He always said whatever he thought of, and Yukiro Hirakami was very accustomed to his straightforward nature, and as soon as he wanted to explain, he saw Ryo Hoshino naturally continue: "Thanks to the blessing of professional training, I have a little experience in jumping, and judging from the results, the previous practice did have some effect." ”

"Professional training?" Xinghai Guanglai seems to be very interested in this.

"Well, I used to learn from the High Jump coach for a while." Ryo Hoshino didn't say it very clearly, and several people thought it was just a short-term training for a week and a month, so they didn't ask much.

Xinghai Guanglai said thoughtfully: "Otherwise, I will go too-"

"Ahem! It's almost time, and it's time for us to go back. Yukiro Hirakami urgently interrupted his dangerous thoughts.

Xinghai Guanglai hummed bitterly

sighed and said to Ryo Hoshino, "I'll see you tomorrow." ”

"Okay, I'll see you in the game." Hoshino responded with a smile. Waving goodbye to these two "new friends", he moved his gaze back to the two people standing on the side, and the expression on his face visibly relaxed. This relaxation is a very subtle way of intimacy and does not feel offensive.

He looked at their faces and smiled: "It seems that Jing Minshan's game is going well today. ”

The two of them knew what he meant, and Gu Senyuan also hooked the corners of his mouth: "Oops, it's not good to be distracted during the game~"

"That can only be said that the temperament of the two seniors is really outstanding, and you can recognize it at a glance."

"That's too. If you haven't noticed it for so long, I'll wonder if there's something wrong with your eyes. ”

Hoshino Ryo laughed twice: "The two seniors should also go back, right?" ”

"Well, it's been a long time since I've been away from the team, so it's time to go back and say hello to the coach."

"Then let's not talk about it, I have to return to the team." Ryo Hoshino smiled slightly, "I'll see you tomorrow." ”

Gu Senyuan also replied casually: "Well, tomorrow's game - huh?" As if reacting to something, he raised his eyebrows. The silver-haired boy in front of him bowed and trotted away, leaving only a slightly hurried back. Gu Senyuan also looked at it for a while, and suddenly smiled: "...... This kid is interesting, isn't he? ”

After receiving no response for a long time, he turned his head and saw that his teammate had already walked ten meters away.

"Hey, hey! Why are you walking so fast......"

*

Gu Senyuan didn't feel wrong, Ryo Hoshino was indeed in a hurry. Shiratorizawa's players didn't stop after the game, and went straight out of the stadium after packing up their things. Hoshino Ryo chased all the way before he saw the group at the place where he was resting at noon. He paused when he saw the surrounding figures in the group, and he slowed down his pace before he was seen by the others, as if pacing leisurely.

First of all, it was Imai Masahiro who discovered him and exclaimed in surprise: "Hoshino-senpai!" Then everyone else looked at him.

Ryo Hoshino deliberately didn't look at the person in the middle, turned his head and patted the shoulder of the first-grade junior with a smile: "Just your kid's sharp eyes." ”

Imai smirked twice.

"Finished talking?" General Hanhe Jiang Yong asked.

"yes. Originally, they wanted to spy on the enemy, but they were too keen, so they had to give up. Hoshino Ryoshi spread his hands, "However, the eyesight of the two people is really good, especially the sub-attacker, whose observation ability is quite first-class." It is worthy of the core of the blocking net of [Outai], which is tricky enough. ”

; Han Hejiang was not surprised that he could come to this conclusion in just one face, and only said: "Then tomorrow will have to fight." Although they said this, the tone of the two was not heavy, and even a little relaxed. Ryo Hoshino exchanged a look with him, with a smile of dim sum comprehension.

"Outai's strength is really good, especially Xinghai Guanglai, he is an all-round player, and his ability in all aspects is very strong." A voice suddenly interjected into their conversation. Hanhe Jiang Yong was stunned, but Hoshino Liang seemed to have guessed it a long time ago, raised his eyebrows and smiled: "The captain saw Xinghaiguang in the spring of the second year, right?" ”

Ushijima paused: "Hmm." ”

"After all, it is a national youth candidate, and it is strange if the strength is not strong." Ryo Hoshino glanced at him, then turned naturally

To the other end, "Old man, I'm hungry, do I have to go to eat?" I didn't eat it at noon. ”

The others quietly pricked up their ears as well.

The eagle craftsman who was watching him choked up and said stiffly, "The car is on its way!" ”

The team erupted in cheers.

Hoshino snorted, "Is the captain coming with us?" This is asked by Ushijima Wakari. The latter shook his head: "I'm not going, I have practice at night, and I have to go back to the team." Ryo Hoshino let out another oh, and then stopped talking.

Ushijima Ruoli looked at it again and again, and felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it. He's really not social material, and it's the limit to be able to detect that something is wrong.

"Ushijima-senpai, are you still coming to watch the game tomorrow?" It was Taichi Kawanishi who asked.

Ushijima Ruoli looked at him: "I shouldn't be able to come, there will be a practice match with other teams tomorrow." ”

Everyone sighed, showing regret, but they all expressed understanding. Ushijima Ruoli was about to say something, but he caught a glimpse of the silver-haired figure turning around, not knowing where to go. After a pause in what he was about to say, he immediately changed his words and said, "I'm sorry, I'll miss it first." Then he slipped through the gap where the crowd had automatically separated, and strode to keep up with the silver-haired boy's back.

“…… Ushijima-senpai is in a hurry to find Hoshino? ”

"I don't know, maybe you want to talk about today's game?"

"Oh, that makes sense......"

Over there, Ushijima Ruoli had already caught up with the person and followed him silently, without saying a word. Hoshino Ryo walked for a while, but he couldn't hold back, and stopped helplessly: "Why did the captain come over?" ”

"Why did you get out?" Ushijima asked rhetorically.

"You didn't even know where I was going, so you came along?" Hoshino Ryo was a little amused, looked around, and pointed to the bench next to him: "If the captain is fine, wait for me here, I'll be back soon." After speaking, he didn't care whether the other party should respond or not, turned around and left, and the figure disappeared in a flash around the corner.

Ushijima Ruoli was stunned for a while, and then sat down on the bench and waited obediently. After about fifteen minutes, there was a sound of footsteps from far and near, and he raised his head, and sure enough, it was Ryo Hoshino.

The opponent changed into a black T-shirt and a bag on his wrist to hold the changed team uniform. The broken hair on his forehead was a little wet, and it looked like he should have washed his face, and he was a lot more energetic. Without waiting for Ushijima Ruoli to stand up, the boy stepped over a few steps and sat next to him, handing over the things in his hand: "Have you waited for a long time?" ”

Ushijima lowered his eyes, took the box of yogurt, and wiped the other party's fingertips wet with cold drinks, and the cold moisture spread along the place where the two touched. He withdrew his hand with an unchanged expression: "No." ”

Ryo Hoshino poked open the remaining box of yogurt, took it in his mouth, pulled off his collar with one hand, and explained a little vaguely: "I was supposed to go back to the hotel and change my clothes, but the old man said to eat first, and the clothes were really uncomfortable, so I ran to change." Is there something wrong with me from the captain? ”

Ushijima was silent, and he didn't know why he came along. After thinking for a while, he said, "Inarizaki played a good game. ”

Ryo Hoshino shook his head: "Forget it, there were a lot of mistakes in the last game, and the physical strength still couldn't keep up." ”

“…… Just a little more practice. Hearing this, Ryo Hoshino immediately laughed: "Okay, I'll continue to practice." ”

"Don't have too much pressure in tomorrow's game, just relax and play."

Ryo Hoshino raised his eyebrows in surprise: "This is not like what the captain said. I thought the captain would say, "Play well tomorrow, no matter what team you face, you have to believe that you can win." 】”

"Well, you can win." The boy said without hesitation.

Ryo Hoshino turned off the fire all of a sudden. He looked at each other's expressions back and forth, and the joke in his heart gradually faded. He let go of the straw he was biting and suddenly asked, "Are you really not coming tomorrow?" ”

It's not that you can't come, but that you don't come.

Ushijima Ruoli looked at him, and inexplicably felt that this sentence was not to be confirmed again, but-

"Would you really like me to come?" He asked.

This question is a bit abrupt and ambiguous, making it difficult to figure out where the boundaries are.

But Ryo Hoshino just smiled and replied calmly, "Yes." ”

"Why?"

This time, Ryo Hoshino paused for a moment, his gaze began to move upwards from the other party's angular chin, and finally stopped at the somewhat deep eyebrows.

In Ryo Hoshino's opinion, Ushijima Wakari's eyes are very beautiful, sharp and beautiful. You can see his emotions very clearly in his eyes, because he never hides it and doesn't bother to hide it. Therefore, Ryo Hoshino has always disagreed with other people's descriptions of Ushijima Wakari [indifferent]. Where is the apathy? It's obviously a big cat that understands very well.

You don't want to hide yourself in front of such people. Because he is too honest, and honesty is often exchanged for honesty.

“…… There is no particular reason. Ryo Hoshino finally spoke, and smiled slowly, "I just want to see you." ”！
