running boy

That time Kaoru Tsukishima finished eating first, and he still didn't leave. When Ushishima Ruori also finished eating, the two walked together naturally.He still didn't say much, but when he said goodbye, he asked her if she was interested in the volleyball game.

Is it a date invitation?Tsukishima Kaoru thought to himself.

She happily and expectantly made an appointment with Ushijima Ruori.

"On the day of the 'date', I found out that the match was between high school students when I arrived at the venue."

In fact, at that time, she already vaguely felt a little weird. What kind of person would watch a high school volleyball game on a date?

Maybe he has deep feelings for the volleyball club in high school?She secretly guessed.

After contacting with the mobile phone, the juniors of Ushishima Wakari High School took Tsukishima Kaoru to the stands.

In the stands is a sea of ​​color [1].

Du Ruose's colorful flag with "Shiratori Ze" written on it, students wearing Du Ruose's school uniform, volleyball club member Du Ruose's sportswear, Du Ruose's quilt[2] from a shopping street near the school, everyone They all held Du Ruo's plastic speakers. These well-organized cheering people almost occupied the entire stand, and the scattered spectators could only sit in very high places.And there are five or sixty volleyball members who can't enter the field and sit on the bench.

Ushido’s junior led Tsukishima Kaoru to the first row, asked her to sit in the seat, took a spare sportswear jacket for her to put on, and told the people next to him—this is a friend of Ushido’s senior, please take care of me, Just walked straight to the auditorium behind.

"It's okay, it's okay—you don't need to cheer up just because you're lazy, Kobayashi-senpai is very strict haha." ’ the boy said with a smile.

But it's not okay at all, is it?

Kaoru Tsukishima noticed that the members wearing sportswear only sat in the middle area, about 60 to [-] people, and the seats were full. That said, not everyone can sit in, and those who have the opportunity to sit here cherish this opportunity—just give up the seat to themselves, and when Ushido Ruori comes later, wouldn’t there be one more person Give up your seat?Is Ushishima Jori having such a good relationship with the juniors in high school? He used to be in the volleyball club?Having said that, it is not impossible for two people to sit in the back row, the game can still be seen clearly...

Kaoru Tsukishima was thinking wildly, "Ah, here we come!" ’ the boy next to her shouted excitedly.

She followed her gaze——

Ushishima Ruori led the way, and a team of teenagers wearing Du Ruo's colored jerseys came out from the athlete's exit.

Kaoru Tsukishima stood in the stands in a daze.

(Ah, so that's the case...)

(That way everything makes sense.)

(No wonder you invited me to watch the game, but you still have to wait for others to entertain you...)

(No wonder he is so authoritative among the younger generations, listening to him like this, even giving up his seat with a look of honor...)

Seniors, seniors—it turns out that they are not seniors who have graduated, but are studying.

"That's how I found out that he was a high school student, not the 'youth' I thought he was at all."

"You were...", the young man finally had a little interest at this time, and asked with a somewhat complicated expression.

"I just graduated from university and have been employed for less than a year."

"..."

The young man showed an undisguised embarrassment.

This guy is like this—Koru Tsukishima sighed amusedly in his heart, went straight and didn't know how to comfort others.

"Do you know why I emphasized that he is tall, majestic, and makes people feel calm and reliable?" Kaoru Tsukishima continued, "It's not to be complacent about how good his former lover was, but just to show that he really doesn't look like him at all. High school student."

"He thought I was a high school kid - but I did have a tiny baby face."

The young man nodded, thinking in his heart, people are a little strange, but if you only look at the face, it is deceptively cute.

"And I thought he was a social person." Tsukishima Kaoru recalled Ushishima Wakari, who was nearly 190 tall and always had a serious face, showing a funny expression, "When we meet in a cafe, they almost always don't wear uniforms on weekends. When it happened, it must have been a coincidence.”

"Youth" changed to "juvenile", and at the moment when Ushishima Wakali was discovered to be a high school student, Tsukishima Kaoru's vague love affair just born was strangled to death in the bud.

"Of course I know that it's impossible for me and the other party who are high school students——for various considerations, it's impossible."

"but--"

But there is no need to turn around and leave, at least you should watch the game.

A match between Shiratorizawa and the 〇〇 Volleyball Club at the 〇〇 stadium in Miyagi Prefecture.

Of course, this is not the first time Kaoru Tsukishima has watched a competitive game seriously in the stadium.From childhood to adulthood, middle school and high school, she has cheered for various teams of the class or school several times.

It was not a crucial game, not the final, nor the semi-final.

But for the teenagers on the field, every game is important, because every game may be their last game.

There is a loud and uniform sound of cheering and cheering in my ears, and there is a faint smell of sweat at the end of my nose.

In the sea of ​​hundreds of cheerleaders, you will be overwhelmed by the fanatical atmosphere in an instant.

Kaoru Tsukishima seemed a bit abruptly calm and even indifferent in it.

But she knew that her eyes had been chasing the silent and tall boy in the stadium. In her eyes, he seemed to be lit with a spotlight, so that she couldn't see anything else at all, and could only look at him alone.

"After watching the game, I felt as if I really liked him." Tsukishima Kaoru lowered his eyes slightly in memory.

This is an understatement.

When she first watched the game, she was completely mesmerized.

The author has something to say: [1], about the color of the stz team uniform...

I don't think it's just a simple purple - or at least fuchsia haha

Personally, I feel that "grape dyeing" is the closest, but the name of the color is a bit strange. Imagine "in the ocean of grape dyeing..." It seems that the meaning has changed... and when you mention grapes, the first reaction of readers is the color of the grapes Well, the deep purple and blue color is also far away, so give up grape dyeing.

Secondly, "Jingzi" is relatively close, but a certain animation is really popular, and I feel that there will be strange associations when mentioning Jingzi, so I gave up Jingzi.

Again, the "grape color" is also relatively close, but it is similar to the reason of grape dyeing, and I also gave up... The last selected "Duruo" is actually a bit bluer.

[2], はっぴ法密, is the kind of clothes worn during festivals. What I understand is the feeling of half-wrapped for festivals and festivals?It looks like a yukata or a special jacket for kimono.

If you're a date, I can only say that you think too much haha

Well, but why did Ushishima ask her to watch the game? ——Please look forward to the Udo Island episode.
