At six o'clock in the morning, the tenacious biological clock played its role again, and Hoshino opened his eyes in a daze. There is still a residual soreness caused by the accumulation of lactic acid on his body, but his spirit is very refreshed.

"You slept so comfortably......" he stretched, rolled over and sat up, a little confused as he recalled.

Well? Was he sleeping in bed last night?

Hoshino Ryo was stunned for a while, walked over and picked up the mobile phone on the desk, pressed the screen, and his expression was stunned for a moment, only to see a series of messages plus a missed call on the screen.

Well???

Ryo Hoshino woke up instantly, and quickly clicked on the LINE, and scratched the message at the top.

[Captain]: I played well in today's practice match, do you need a review?

[Captain]: Cat probe. GIF

Two minutes later.

[Captain]: Can I go over to you?

Another two minutes.

[Captain]: Cats are confused. GIF

Another three minutes passed.

[Captain]: I'm at the door, can I come in?

Finally, there is an unanswered call request.

After watching the whole process, Ryoichi Hoshino's entire pupil earthquake. Wait, so he did fall asleep on the table last night because he was too sleepy, so he didn't see the news of the captain, and then the captain couldn't wait to find him, and moved him to the bed by the way. Turns out these are not illusions??

Ohmygod, what the hell did he miss? Yesterday was the last night before leaving the country!!

Hoshino Ryo wailed, fell back on the bed and rolled around several times as if venting. Woo woo woo if you give him another chance -

"Buzz"

The vibrating sound of the cell phone suddenly rang out, and he picked it up irritably to look at it—eyes widened, and then look—and a carp jumped up.

I saw a new message pop up in the message box that was still stuck in the missed call.

[Captain]: Awake?

Ryo Hoshino: "!! Crackling pressed the keyboard and sent a sentence: [How did the captain know that I was awake!] 】

The other side quickly replied: [The message has been read. 】

Ryo Hoshino suddenly realized, and then a little confused. There will be no notification when the message has been read, and how can the captain know so quickly?

Before he could think about it, he saw a message pop up again.

[Captain]: Do you have time to go for a morning run?

Ryo Hoshino's eyes lit up: [Okay!] 】

Entrance to the arena.

Ryo Hoshino hurriedly washed up and ran over, only to find that Ushijima Wori was already standing there.

"Captain! Good morning! With some annoyance on his face, "I'm sorry, have you waited for a long time?" Blame me for being too slow......"

"Early." Ushijima Wakari shook his head, "It's okay, let's warm up first." ”

After warming up as usual, the two began to jog around the gymnasium. Because Ryo Hoshino still had to catch a plane in the afternoon, Ushijima Ruoli deliberately slowed down, and the two ran side by side, and even found energy to chat.

"Captain, you were the one who put me to bed last night, right? I'm really bothering you. ”

"Sleeping on your stomach is harmful to your cervical spine and spine, and it's easy to catch a cold."

Seeing that the other party's expression was becoming more serious, Ryo Hoshino hurried

Interrupted him: "Yes, yes, I know. I just wanted to do a review, but I didn't expect to fall asleep directly. Thank you, Captain, I guess it's going to be a hard time moving me. ”

"No, you're not heavy."

"Huh? Oh......" Thinking of the other party's strength, Ryo Hoshino suddenly understood a little. Before they knew it, the two had finished a full lap, and Ryo Hoshino just wanted to continue, but saw the other party stop.

"Huh? Don't run anymore?? ”

"You have to pack your bags, you have to travel in the afternoon, and today is not suitable for too much exercise." Ushijima Worri reached out to help him tuck his collar and asked naturally, "Let's go to the cafeteria for breakfast?" ”

Although the topic changed a little quickly, Ryo Hoshino nodded immediately: "Okay!" ”

……

Because it was still early and the intensity of yesterday's training was high, many people didn't get up, and there were no other players in the canteen except them. After the two went to the pick-up area to get what they wanted to eat, they found a corner and sat down facing each other.

Ushijima Wakari peeled two eggs as usual, and one of them naturally went into Ryo Hoshino's stomach. The two ate quietly, although they didn't speak, but they revealed a wordless tacit understanding.

The caterer stood in the distance and watched quietly, and sighed to the colleague next to him in a low voice: "Their relationship is so good......

"Really?" The colleague was looking down at the phone, and when he heard the words, he glanced up and said casually, "There is no communication, how can you have a good relationship?" ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw two boys in the corner stand up, the taller one took the other's plate, and the other picked up their clothes, and the two whispered to each other as they walked towards the dining area.

The colleague suddenly spoke: "...... Well, it's a good feeling. ”

*

After breakfast, the two went back to Ryo Hoshino's dormitory together.

- Yes, that's right, went to his dormitory again. And all this is because of Ushijima Wakari's sentence: "You slept temporarily last night, and the review shouldn't have been done yet, right?" I'll help you, it can be faster. ”

In this regard, of course, Ryo Hoshino could not refuse. So it became the current scene - Ryo Hoshino was packing his luggage while communicating with Ushijima Wori to review it, while the latter sat at his desk and recorded the content of the exchange between the two.

"Wait, that ball just now should be a feint by Iizuna-senpai, with the cover of Kaminakamura-senpai, right?"

"Yes, but the final score of this ball is because your positions are too scattered, the three people in the front row block the net, and the setter in the back row does not hold the small slash position, revealing the flaw."

Hoshino Ryo thought for a moment and nodded thoughtfully: "...... Indeed it is. While skillfully folding the clothes in his hand and stuffing them into the gap of the suitcase, he stood up and counted them silently in his heart.

Toiletries, team uniforms, sportswear, underwear......

"It should be almost." He nodded in satisfaction, pulled over another chair and sat next to Ushijima Wakari, and looked over, "How is it?" Where did we just go? ”

"Don't get so close, hurt your eyes." Ushijima pulled him a little farther away.

Hoshino sighed and sat down obediently, but as he chatted, he involuntarily got closer.

This time, Ushijima Wakari just lowered his eyes and looked at the hairy head at hand, but did not speak.

It is true that two people review much faster than one person, and the thinking of two people is very at the same frequency, almost one person asks a question, and the other person can pick up the idea. Therefore, by the time they had reviewed all the key balls, it was just past half past seven, and the start of morning training was at eight o'clock.

What do you have time to talk about?

Hoshino Ryo racked his brains to think about the topic, but the people around him suddenly spoke: "You...... Nervous? ”

Ryo Hoshino: "? Then he reacted immediately, pouting, "Nervous, this is my first time playing an international tournament." What if I don't play well and don't even make it to the top 10? ”

"No, it won't." The young man comforted a little awkwardly, "I'm sure you can play well." ”

"What if? What if I really didn't play well? Will the captain scold me? ”

Ushijima Ruoli lowered his eyes and said softly, "I won't scold you." ”

Then, he saw the boy blink and asked, "Then if I play well, will the captain be rewarded?" ”

The soft hair rubbed against his arm again, Ushijima Ruoli's fingers trembled slightly, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his voice was a little hoarse: "...... Yes. ”！
