The setter pinpointed the position, jumped up lightly while calling out "Ushido-san!", and then made a neat rear shot—Ushishima Ruori was diagonally behind him, and the countless times of cooperation seemed as natural as breathing smooth.

Ushishima Wakari raised his head, staring at the volleyball in the air for a moment, leaning forward slightly, with one foot in front and the other behind—ready to go.

The position of the ball in the air, the time when he took a step to jump up, the height at which he continued to fall, he adjusted his position in small steps...

When the time comes, take a decisive step forward.

Following his movements, the air on the opponent's field seemed to freeze instantly.The six people in the front row and those in the back row tensed up like a string in an instant, staring at Ushishima Wakari with unison.

It seemed that they could all hear their hearts shouting on guard, "It's coming!"

The three players in the front row happen to be the three tallest people on the team.Seeing the direction Ushido Ruori was going, the three of them stood side by side one by one, jumped up at the same time, and stretched their arms high.

Ushijima Ruori, who jumped out in a big stride, bent his legs slightly, swung his arms back like stretched wings, and patted down, his half-squatting body suddenly rose from the ground.

In the air, he stretched his body, bent his bow, stretched his arms, bent them, and then yanked them down!

The ball landed firmly in the palm of the hand.

Bang!

All in the blink of an eye.

The opponent's three big men jumped up early to block the net. Even if they couldn't stop him, they could at least limit it and let the players in the back row have a chance to catch the landing.

The players in the back row had already bowed their bodies and stretched their arms, ready to fight.

The ball arrived as expected, like a cannonball, and with a loud noise in an instant, it bounced out of the court quickly with an irresistible momentum.

And the two people still stretched their arms, unable to move as if they were nailed in place. They maintained their postures with stunned faces, and their short hair was blown up by the wind blown by the volleyball.

……

wrong.

Tsukishima Kaoru shook his head slightly, shaking off the scene that appeared in his mind.She laughed after watching too many Ushijima Wakari games.

How could I understand so many details when I watched the ball for the first time?And he didn't even bother to pay attention to the nervousness, anticipation, surprise, surprise, and other emotions on the faces of the teenagers.

At that time, I probably didn't even know what a setter was, right?

This is not the memory of the first game, but I have seen too many smashes by Ushishima Wakari throughout the entire team in the future, and I have seen too many similar scenes, so I recalled it a little , all kinds of details will come to mind vividly.

However, maybe I did not understand the power of his spike at that time, nor did I understand the intention of our opponent.

But even a layman can see it-every move of Ushido Wakari on the court affects the audience.It affects all the opponents on and off the field, and it also affects everyone on and off the field on our side.

Every time a powerful smash hits the floor with a bang, before Captain Kobayashi holds up the sign that says "Ushido", the cheerleaders shout "Good smash, Ushido" ! 』Before, there was always a slightly messy commotion that sounded first.

There is a girl's excited voice:

"Ushishima-san~"

"If classmate~"

There are also short cheers from boys:

"it is good! 』

Kaoru Tsukishima stood among all the people with a calm face, feeling the sound of his heart pounding directly on his eardrums, and the turbulent mood one after another.

That powerful and unstoppable smash brought her an incomparable impact.

After the game, she was still full of emotions, and her mind was full of Ushijima Wakali's appearance on the court. She had no energy to bother about the fact that the object of her heartbeat was a high school student, and she just wanted to obey her own heart.

After two rounds of the ball game ended, Kaoru Tsukishima vaguely avoided chatting with Ushijima Ruori's junior asking which school she was from, thanked the other party again, and left alone.

While lingering in the hallway of the stadium waiting for Ushishima Ruori to come out, she made a decision.

"I decided to hide from him the fact that I am a social person." Kaoru Tsukishima said while lowering his eyes, fiddled with the noodles with a fork.

Because she didn't know how the straightforward young man across the street would evaluate her in her heart and what expression she would show, she felt a little guilty.

Tsukishima Kaoru didn't know why he had to wait for Ushishima Wakari to talk to him after he and his teammates came out?

Theoretically, they were invited by the other party after all, so they should really meet each other?

But the fact is that we didn't meet when we came here. After the game, Ushishima Wakari will still act with the team and have to go back to school for training summary, so it is still inconvenient and there is no need to meet.

Moreover, based on a rational analysis, it would be risky to strike up a conversation at this time.Ushijima Wakari himself is taciturn, but with so many teammates, if someone asks which high school he is from, it is difficult to fool him casually, and it is easy to tell the truth.Or worse, some people may even see themselves in the place where they work... In short, one thing is worse than one thing, she shouldn't take the risk.

(Then why are you waiting here?)

Waiting for Zhongyue Daoxun to have various thoughts in his heart ups and downs, this is not good, and he is not reconciled to that, some are at a loss, some are worried, some are worried, but the most is excitement, this feeling of uncontrollable excitement is not Stop overflowing from the heart.

This is what she wants at the moment, to see.

So Kaoru Tsukishima was still waiting here, leaning on the railing on the second floor, looking at the corridor below.

It was the sound of opening the door first, and then some faint sounds came out, followed by gradually clearer and scattered footsteps, mixed with the sound of approaching conversations.

"Work~ It's great to catch the ball today, it will be an Ace soon~" said a joking voice.

"Thank you senior!I will work hard! 』Full of energy and energy.

"I don't think anyone will become an ace because of the catch. 』A serious voice retorted with honorifics.

The voices of the conversation gradually became clear from far to near, and finally the teenagers wearing Du Ruose's team uniform came out one by one, and appeared in the corridor on the first floor below her.Unlike when she entered the arena, Ushijima Ruori silently mixed among a bunch of teenagers, not leading the way, but she still saw him at a glance.

"Taiyi! 』The tall, thin, red-haired boy was the one who joked at the beginning. He put his hands on the shoulders of a black-haired boy, with a fussy look on his face, and pretended to blame another boy with golden brown hair, "Don't hit the younger generation." Well~".

"He will take it seriously, senpai. Next to him, a boy with straight bangs and smooth flaxen hair complained feebly.

Ushishima Wakari let his teammates fight around.There was no wave on his face.

The anxiety in Tsukishima Kaoru's heart suddenly quieted down.The sound of tapping and walking in the corridor and the ups and downs of the juvenile's joking conversation are like soothing music, which makes people feel tactful and peaceful.

(Actually, I just wanted to see him.)

(No talking, no meeting.)

Ushijima Ruori stopped suddenly, and took out her mobile phone from her backpack.

Tsukishima Kaoru watched him from the second floor.She seems to have known for a long time that Ushishima Ruori is such a person. Others may type while walking, but when he does one thing, he concentrates on one thing, even sending a message.

For example, when you are eating, if you talk to him, he will stop, listen to you attentively, answer you with a serious face, and start eating again after confirming that the topic is over.

Just as he was thinking endlessly, suddenly there was an abrupt sound of the cell phone vibrating in the silence, Kaoru Tsukishima was startled, and reached for the cell phone in his backpack.

See the name displayed on the screen.She looked down at the corridor on the first floor again.

Ushijima Wakari held the phone to her ear and was looking up at her.

All of a sudden, all sorts of miscellaneous thoughts in Tsukishima Kaoru's mind were ups and downs.

I'm a little annoyed.

(Should have thought, Ushishima-kun is the type who doesn't like sending messages at first sight.)

A little secretly surprised.

(As if I already knew it in my heart.)

(I seem to have a tacit understanding with Ushishima-kun, for example, you can know what he thinks just by looking at him...)

Also slightly confused.

(But tacit understanding or something, the two of us seem to meet often but actually don’t know each other very well—naturally?)

(If you think about it this way, it's almost like fate.)

(But why is this guy a high school student...)

After calming down his complicated thoughts, Kaoru Tsukishima pressed the answer button with some hesitation.

"Hi." I'm actually a little embarrassed that my peeking on the second floor has been revealed.

"Sorry, is it better to send a message." The other party said.

Tsukishima Kaoru looked at the expressionless face on the first floor, but clearly read his thoughts.

"Sorry, is it better to send a message." Otherwise, why did you look like you didn't want to answer the phone?

"No...my words don't matter." In fact, I didn't want to answer the phone.

"Are you waiting for me?" Why?Is there something wrong?

"!"Eh?Straight ball?Just ask?

"..." Seriously waiting for an answer.

"Ushishima-kun, the game was exciting." Changed the subject.

"The opponent is weak." Seek truth from facts.

"..." The terminator of this topic wanted to laugh.

"?"Why are not you talking?

Ushishima Ruori stood on the first floor, looking up at Kaoru Tsukishima who was standing on the second floor while listening to the phone.

He looked straight when he asked if he was rude, he looked straight when he was waiting for himself, and he still looked straight when he was silent.

(Always have such a calm and direct look.)

(I didn’t feel anything special before, but now being looked at like this... I feel a little guilty.)

He stood there calmly, ignorant of how disturbed the person opposite him was.How exciting on the court is a matter of course for him every day, so there is no need to make a fuss.

"Ushishima-kun..."

"kindness."

"Next time... can you tell me next time there is a game?" I also want to see how you look on the field.

"Can."

"thanks."

"You're welcome."

"Teammates are still waiting for you, then (bye)."

"Well, goodbye."

Seeing the other party's eyes and hanging up the phone, Ushijima Wakuri waved his hand and turned to leave.

Holding the phone, Tsukishima Kaoru watched the young man's tall and straight back gradually go away.

The author has something to say:*

Well, the description of Smash has been changed, because I found that it is a bit repetitive with the part of the second free man in the back

Here is a big article about Udo's smash, little angels, what do you think?

Does this description convey the tension in the animation well?

After all, this is an Amway article, if it can be conveyed well~

In fact, this paragraph describes the scene in the scene of Karasuno VS Shiratorizawa. At that time, those who were stuck in place seemed to include Kageyama.

Confession Ushido, Ushishima Ruori Maji is cute, so cute, I like Ushishima Ruori the first in small volleyball!

In the cutscene of the third season, Ushido blinked his eyes after serving the ball, and his face was expressionless, so cute.As a Yan dog, my first favorite is not the little angel of Yingshan (Oi Chuan: Huh?), which shows how cute Niu is!

When he first appeared on the stage, the look in his eyes after being provoked made him think that he was an absolute king who could not be challenged.The result——the one who Contrast Moe was talking about, Ushishima Ruori is actually super good-tempered, isn’t it, and is a very down-to-earth person, who laughs and cries; is straightforward to the point of being a bit ignorant of the world, speaking directly, hurting others invisible, It makes people suspect that it is natural black, and, in fact, sometimes, it is a bit ky and there is nothing [cover your face, it is my life;

[1], this hair color... the golden brown is Kawaguchi Taiichi, and the flaxen color is Shirabu Kenjiro.

Small volleyball because it is more realistic, right?There are many different shades of blond hair, as well as different brown hair, flaxen hair, and even black hair in different shades. For example, Ushishima Wakari has lighter black hair, not pure black. . .At the beginning, I described Taichi and Shirabu based on my impressions. They seemed to have blonde hair. Recently, I specially watched the animation again and found out that there is a big difference between the two.
