Aoba-nishi's volleyball team was off on Mondays, so Toranori Oikawa woke Shi-si up early.

When she opened her eyes, she saw the top of his head. It was especially messy because of the night. His curled hair brushed against Shi-si's collarbone, and his head buried in her chest was extremely heavy.

Adolescent boys were simply restless animals that couldn't be appeased, so ever since they confirmed their relationship, Shi-si didn't wear any clothes to sleep. If she wasn't woken up by Toru Oikawa in the morning, she would be woken up by his painful bites.

Shi-si wrapped her tentacles around Toru Oikawa's waist and bit his Adam's apple angrily. The two of them crossed their legs for more than half an hour. Seeing that they were going to be late, Toru Oikawa pressed Shi-si down on the bed and kissed her before getting up to wash up.

Before Toru Oikawa left, he pinched Shi-si's tentacles on the floor and pinched the small suction cups on them. He reminded her to call him if she didn't know the way back at night, and then he left like the wind.

ShiSi, on the other hand, turned over in bed and continued to sleep soundly. It wasn't until the phone on the bedside table rang that she reached out to pick it up.

"… Hello."

"You bastard!

Did you forget that we agreed to meet today?! "

Although it was a restrained roar, it was still very noisy to ShiSi, who was still half asleep. He looked at the phone in his hand and found that it was an unfamiliar number.

"Who is it?"

"…"

Keigo Atobe, who was sitting in his high-end car, squeezed the phone with his fingers. He really wanted to call the other party's full name.

However, it didn't sound like she was angry at all when she called out his full name.

Because he didn't receive Shi-si's address, and he never changed his mind, Keigo Atobe directly ordered the driver to drive all the way from Tokyo to Miyagi. It was now parked in front of Aoba-nishi's gate.

Some students who needed to do club practice and tutoring walked in. When they walked in, they all looked at the shiny and expensive branded car. Some people even guessed that it was the arrival of a leader.

Shi-si didn't hear any sound from the other end, so she hung up the phone.

"???" Keigo Atobe on the other end of the phone.

Keigo Atobe, who was so angry that his hands trembled, gritted his teeth and got out of the car in front of Tetsuya's house. Shi-si, who finally woke up, casually found Toru Oikawa's coat from the closet, put it on, and went out.

When she opened the door, Keigo Atobe, who was wearing a tennis jersey but looked like a cover model, was looking at the [Tetsuya] house sign on the wall outside. After seeing the fair face of the girl he had been thinking about for two months, the anger in his heart subsided. Although Keigo Atobe wasn't as tall as Toru Oikawa and Ryota Hwang Se, people who were more than 1.6 meters were basically existences that Shi-si had to look up to.

"Xiaojing."

The girl called out softly, as if she had a piece of candy in her mouth. When Keigo Atobe heard this voice, he took a small step back. After all, it was most likely his good friend Yuji Ninazhi who called him that. The other reason was probably because she was shy.

Because it wasn't very polite to park the car in front of someone else's house, Keigo Atobe planned to leave the words he wanted to say and the things he wanted to ask for later.

This time, the U17 team had two days off. Keigo Atobe, who rushed back from the training base, pushed away a lot of things that he didn't think were useful to him and took a day out to look at this ingrate.

Fortunately.

She didn't seem to have lost weight or starved. Her skin was smooth and elastic, and her hair was soft and shiny. At first glance, it was obvious that she was well-taken care of. Therefore, Keigo Atobe had a good impression of this Tetsuya family.

This kind of attitude was more like the attitude of an old father, but Keigo himself didn't notice it at all. He just casually told her the name of a restaurant. Since Shi-si didn't know the way, she didn't raise any objections. Whatever Keigo said, she just followed behind him.

Keigo wasn't a motherly person. Besides, his upbringing and character didn't allow him to ask too much about a girl's affairs. At most, he would ask how she was doing recently, whether she had encountered any difficulties, and so on.

Shi-si, on the other hand, was living a very comfortable life with Toru Oikawa, so she kept answering his questions. When they arrived at the restaurant, her eyes were full of dishes. Many of the conversations she had with Keigo were the same as when they first met.

She knew that Keigo Atobe was a tennis player, and it was said that he was a very good captain. However, she had never gone to the Ice Emperor's tennis club to see how good he was.

However, she had witnessed the power of his fan club. Toru Oikawa's fan club was a little small compared to Keigo's.

However, there was no way to compare them. The children who went to school in Aoba-nishi were from ordinary families. They were different from the children of the Ice Emperor who were either rich or noble. The girls who liked Toru Oikawa couldn't match up to the extravagant extravagance of the Ice Emperor's fan club.

What's more, although Toru Oikawa was also very narcissistic, he was still a far cry from Keigo Atobe's "prostrate before my magnificence".

Even if Shi-si was a small octopus, she still more or less knew words like chuunibyou.

"I told you before, transfer to the Ice Emperor. No matter where you hide, it won't be a problem for you to hide in my territory."

"No."

"Why did you refuse?"

"Quiet."

Sounds in the sea were very rare, especially in the deep sea thousands of meters below. Sunlight couldn't enter, and there was no concept of day and night. Even the transmission of sound was very rare.

Therefore, Shi-si, a deep-sea monster, hated noisy environments.

In the past, the Teiguang basketball team had a lot of food reserves. A big reason why she chose to stick to Akashiji Seijuro was because it was quiet around him, unlike Ryota Hwang Se, who was surrounded by screams of girls wherever he went.

Keigo, on the other hand, was even noisier than Huang Se.

Keigo seemed to see the disdain on Shi-si's face. He glanced at her, indicating that she should take a good look at the food in her mouth.

But whether it was Toru Oikawa or anyone else, winking at Shi-si never worked, so even Keigo Atobe, who had a beautiful mole, was defeated.

They ordered lighter Japanese cuisine, but there was no raw food or sashimi.

It wasn't that he hadn't fed her before, but when Shi-si saw food like squid, she was so scared that she cried and locked herself in her room, refusing to come out. Keigo Atobe guessed that she was afraid of mollusks or tentacles with suction cups.

However, what Atobe did not know was that his guess was completely wrong. It was not that the girl was afraid of these things, but she was one of them. However, due to the fact that she could not bear to see her own kind appear at the human dining table, she was so scared that she thought that she was going to die, and that was why she had shut herself up in tears.

But from then on, Keigo knew to stay away from these foods. He didn't even let her look at them to avoid the consequences of standing at the door for an entire afternoon and coaxing her to open the door a little.

Shi-si ate slowly. Keigo Atobe, who had already finished eating, sat across the table and watched her eat.

It wasn't that Shi-si was interested in eating. It was just that she was absorbed in watching.

The little girl loved to eat fish. She didn't have much of an appetite for anything else, but fish was the only thing that could fill her stomach. He didn't know how her stomach could hold it.

During the process, the Ice Emperor Tennis Group on his phone kept ringing. Yuji Ninazhi asked Keigo Atobe about his progress, but he didn't reply at all.

— — What progress? Speaking of which, where did Keigo go during the rare break?

— — Why do you care so much? Train hard, or Keigo will punish you when you come back.

— — Well, he's probably busy with something, but I didn't expect Shinobi to know.

— — Xiaojing is busy with 'big things'. You guys don't understand.

Keigo Atobe, who was busy with 'big things', muttered Yuji Ninazhi's name several times in his heart. He decided that he would teach his teammate a lesson when he got back.

He had planned to take Shi-si out to have some fun, but as soon as they came out of the restaurant, Shi-si's phone started ringing. Keigo Atobe subconsciously looked to the side. With his height advantage, he saw the words [Dear Ryota] on the screen.

Keigo Atobe:???

"Hello."

"Xiao Shi Si!

I'm here to look for you! "

"I'm outside."

"Eh?!

But I finally took a leave of absence to look for you!

Who are you with? That hateful Toru Oikawa?! "

"He's not hateful at all."

"He's super hateful!

He's a kidnapper! "

"I'm with Xiaojing."

"Is he your friend?"

"Yes."

On the other side of the phone, Ryota Hwang Se was standing at the entrance of Aoba-nishi's school. He switched the phone to his ear and walked in.

"You actually have a friend?

Is he from the same school? "

"No."

"I didn't even know. What a dereliction of duty!"

"You want to know?"

"Yes. After all, he's Xiao Shi Si's friend. By the way, do you want to meet up? I'll treat you two to iced food."

"Where are you?"

Because it was the weekend, most of the students who came to school were wearing casual clothes. Although Huang Se's height did not make him look like a student, the guard was used to seeing the members of the Basketball club and the Volleyball club. He did not ask about him at all.

The reason Ryota Hwang Se came in was very simple. He wanted to see what Shi-si's school was like. As he walked, he arrived near the gymnasium and even heard the sound of sports.

"I'm at Aoba-nishi's gymnasium."

Huang Se thought it was the Basketball club. After all, if he wanted to play in the national competition, all the basketball teams in the school would be his opponents. However, when he walked to the entrance, he found that there were only volleyball players inside. He even happened to see the scene of Toru Oikawa jumping and serving.

Accompanied by the screams of the girls in the stands, Ryota Hwang Se showed an extremely disdainful expression.

"Let me tell you, Xiao Shi Si. Toru Oikawa is flirting behind your back!"

"Ah?"

Ryota Hwang Se directly ignored the fact that he was the same type of person. He stood at the entrance of the volleyball stadium and madly exaggerated Toru Oikawa's frivolity and indecency, as if he was some kind of scumbag of the century.

However, Shi-si had been used to these things when she was the manager of the volleyball club, so basically, she just listened to one ear and went out the other. However, Keigo Atobe, who was next to her, heard it clearly.

"Xiaojing, Ryota is treating us to ice."

Keigo Atobe raised one of his eyebrows. In fact, he was very unwilling. After all, it was rare for him to squeeze out some time. It was already rare for him to be with Shi-si. What was one more person?

"I can also treat you to ice. I'm not familiar with him."

"Okay." After saying that, Shi-si said to Ryota Hwang Se on the phone, "Xiaojing said she's not familiar with you. She won't go."

"Eh?

Don't. Come to me. You're so cruel, Xiao Shi Si! "

Ryota Hwang Se softly acted coquettishly to Shi-si on the phone. Keigo Atobe, who was listening at the side, darkened his face. In the end, he couldn't stand this person's phone conversation and wanted to see who the so-called former free-range player was, so he told the driver to go to the entrance of Aoba-nishi again. He didn't believe that this model could do anything.

However, Ryota Hwang Se, who was standing at the entrance of the volleyball stadium, attracted attention because of his outstanding height and appearance. In particular, all the girls surrounded him. This was also seen by the volleyball club members who were practicing in the stadium, including Toru Oikawa.

Gamma Iwakizumi sighed at the side. Girls were simply creatures who looked at appearance. Toranori Oikawa, on the other hand, had a dark smile on his face as he tried to drive him out.

"Oh, isn't this the loser student? Why did you suddenly come to Aoba-nishi? Are you here to admire the heroic appearance of Lord Tokugawa?"

"I'm really sorry. I'm really not interested in men who are shorter than me!"

Toru Oikawa, 184.3cm.

Ryota Hwang Se, 189cm.

Gamma Iwakizumi quickly pulled back Toru Oikawa, who was about to explode. Both sides had very strange smiles on their faces as they fought with each other.

However, no matter what, Toru Oikawa, who had a heart, was more skilled. When Shi-si and Keigo Atobe arrived, they saw the two of them fighting with the volleyball net in between.

"What's going on?"

Keigo Atobe, who originally wanted to leave as soon as he saw them, saw that there was something wrong with the atmosphere. Gamma Iwakizumi saw the manager who suddenly arrived, so she quickly pulled Shi-si into the stadium.

"Shi-si, you're finally here. Hurry up and control Trashy Chuan. He actually wants to play volleyball with laymen. Isn't that bullying?"

"As long as they're happy."

"You're his girlfriend. Don't just watch the show!"

"Ha?

Girlfriend? "

Keigo Atobe on the side asked very loudly. Gamma Iwakizumi also saw someone standing beside her. After politely asking a question, Gamma Iwakizumi answered.

"Yes, Shi-si is Tetsuya's girlfriend."

Suddenly, the surrounding air seemed to become cold. Keigo Atobe gently touched his mole with his finger. The emotions in his eyes changed a few times. Then, he took Shi-si from Gamma Iwakizumi's hand and lowered his head.

"You're in a relationship with someone else?"

"Yes."

"How old are you?

What relationship?! "

Shi-si originally wanted to say that she was older than them, and that they could even call her great-grandmother. However, looking at Keigo Atobe's dark face, she thought for a while and said, "I'm 16."

Keigo still wanted to say something, but Toru Oikawa directly pulled Shi-si into his arms. Although he didn't know who was suddenly beside his girlfriend, it didn't prevent him from declaring his sovereignty.

"You can get married at the age of 16. So, what can I do for you, Mole Man?"

Shi-si, whose face was buried in Toru Oikawa's chest, raised her head and found that she was surrounded by three walls. Because of the previous chaos, the stadium had been cleared. Now, there were only Aoba-nishi's volleyball club members, Ryota Hwang Se, Keigo Atobe, and Shi-si left in the volleyball stadium.
