Which is More Difficult, Love or Sports?

Chapter 20

June 27th, the third Sunday of the Tokyo High School Volleyball Tournament.

Today was the day of the IH Tokyo High School Volleyball Tournament. The Moda Gymnasium was more lively than the previous two Sundays.

There were also more spectators and media gathered in the gymnasium than before.

There were two matches in the semi-finals, Jingjiayama University versus Taisho Gakuen, and Ogaya Gakuen versus Sakurayama Gakuen. The two teams that won the semi-finals would not only advance to the finals, but would also be admitted to the national competition.

Under the lead of the third-year students, Otokumo High School's volleyball club members also came to the gymnasium to watch the matches.

Because of the hot weather, they did not wear red sportswear jackets. They only wore black sportswear with the word "NEKOMA" embroidered on the right chest and red sportswear pants. They were just as imposing.

This was the last club activity that the third-year students participated in. After today, the third-year students would officially retire.

Shiroishi's training as a setter had already achieved some results. It was expected that he would become more and more accustomed to Otokumo's identity as the "brain". In addition, with such a reliable manager like Akihito Matsukaze, the third-year students believed that the volleyball club would become stronger and stronger.

The mighty Otokumo would definitely be able to regain his glory and live up to his reputation.

Otokumo's club members came to the Ogaya Gakuen versus Sakurayama Gakuen stadium.

The atmosphere in the gymnasium was very lively. Even though the air conditioner was turned on, the temperature inside the gymnasium seemed to be higher than outside.

"Owl Valley (Sakurayama)!

Owl Valley (Sakurayama)!

Owl Valley (Sakurayama)! "

"Come on!

Come on!

Owl Valley (Sakurayama)! "

"Attack!

Attack!

Owl Valley (Sakurayama)! "

The cheerleaders of Ogaya Gakuen and Sakurayama Gakuen occupied most of the seats on the left and right sides of the stadium, cheering for the two teams that were warming up.

Shiroishi, who was sitting in the spectator seats on the second floor, looked around and said enviously, "I really envy Owl Valley. They even have a female cheerleading team." Not only were there female cheerleaders, there were also many Owl Valley students who came to cheer them on.

Tea House, who was sitting beside Shiroishi, raised his eyebrows and said, "This is Owl Valley after all. It's normal to have female cheerleaders."

Shiroishi: "?"

He scratched his head and said, "I also want to have cheering cheerleaders during the competition."

Takahashi, who was sitting behind Shiroishi, smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be."

Sato also smiled and said, "Of course, you guys have to work hard in the future."

"Of course!"

The club members sat in the spectator seats and chatted, while Akihito Matsukaze stood in front of the railing on the second floor and chatted with Bai Fukuyue and Kaoru Aseda. From time to time, he would pay attention to the situation of the warm-up in the stadium.

Because there could only be one manager on the field, the one on the field was Owl Valley's third year Senpai Hoshino.

"Asakawa has been absent for a few days. It seems like something happened at home." Kaoru Aseda shrugged. "She disappears after school every day."

Akihito Matsukaze thought for a few seconds and asked, "How does Asakawa classmate look in class?"

Kaoru Aseda, who was in the same class as Kuri Asakawa, thought for a while and said, "Her complexion is not bad. She doesn't seem to be hiding anything. It's just that Asakawa seems to be writing some documents recently."

Bai Fukuyue: "Huh?"

"G", "Why haven't I heard you mention it before?!"

Kaoru Aseda felt a little wronged. "You didn't ask."

Bai Fukuyue: "…" She couldn't refute that.

Akihito Matsukaze felt a little tired from standing. He stomped his feet and said, "Since her complexion is not bad, nothing bad should have happened. What do you guys think?"

Bai Fukuyue and Kaoru Aseda thought for a while and felt that Akihito Matsukaze's words made a lot of sense.

The three of them chatted about what had happened recently. Akihito Matsukaze suggested that they find a seat to sit down and watch the match.

Bai Fukuyue complained, "Matsutake, why are you so lazy?"

Akihito Matsukaze replied righteously, "It's tiring to stand."

"Let's go, let's go."

Kaoru Aseda held each of his hands and said lazily, "Actually, I also want to sit down and watch the match."

Bai Fukuyue was a little helpless, but he still followed his two friends to find a seat.

The three of them found a seat with a good view. Just as they sat down, they heard the referee's whistle.

The official warm-up was over, and the match between Ogaya Gakuen and Sakurayama Gakuen had officially begun.

"Please give me your advice!"

"Please give me your advice!"

Akihito Matsukaze looked at Konoha Kotaro, who was wearing the number 10 uniform on the field. His expression and eyes were very focused. He smiled at Bai Fukuyue and Kaoru Aseda and said, "Kotaro seems to be in good shape today."

Although he was only in his first year, Konoha Kotaro had already become an official member of Owl Valley. He was even a starter in this qualifier.

Konoha's main attacker, Konoha Akiyoshi, was also a starter in the first year. He wore the number 12 uniform.

"Yes, it's because he wants to play against Mount Jingji."

Bai Fukuyue said, rubbing his chin. "If he wants to play against Mount Jingji, he has to win the semi-finals. That's why Kotaro is very motivated today."

"Of course, it could also be because the coach said that if he wasn't in good shape, he would be replaced." Kaoru Aseda spread his hands. "For Kotaro, being replaced is something he can't accept."

Akihito Matsukaze couldn't help but laugh. "It seems that after the third year retires, Kotaro will be able to wear the number 4 uniform."

Bai Fukuyue and Kaoru Aseda both had a "you're right" expression on their faces.

Since a long time ago, the ace volleyball players of Ogaya Gakuen and Otokumo High School had all worn the number 4 uniform.

The one wearing the number 4 uniform in Otokumo was the third year Kobayashi.

As the game progressed, the three girls stopped chatting and began to quietly watch the game.

Konoha Kotaro was indeed in good shape today. He scored the second most points on the team.

Every time he spiked the ball and scored, his high spirits always made the atmosphere on the court more lively.

It had to be said that watching Konoha Kotaro play volleyball to his heart's content was indeed a kind of enjoyment.

In the end, Ogaya Gakuen won the game with 20 points and clinched the admission ticket to the IH National Championships.

"That's great!" Bai Fukuyue and Kaoru Aseda excitedly hugged each other.

"Congratulations."

Akihito Matsukaze smiled as she clapped. In the end, Bai Fukuyue and Kaoru Aseda rushed over and hugged her. "Matsutake, we won!"

"Aiyaya, the two beauties are so enthusiastic. I can't take it." Akihito Matsukaze smiled and half-jokingly patted their backs.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Fukuyue and Kaoru Aseda pounded her shoulders.

The three played around for a while, their faces full of joy.

After the men's semi-finals, the women's semi-finals would be held, followed by the men's finals and the women's finals.

This kind of schedule was set up in the hope that the teams that reached the finals would have enough rest and perform more brilliantly in the finals.

Bai Fukuyue and Kaoru Aseda went to the Owl Valley's resting area to help out, while Akihito Matsukaze stayed in the stadium to watch the women's semi-finals.

Before the end of the game, she had to send a message to Bai Fukuyue so that the Owl Valley players could enter the stadium on time.

"What are you thinking about?"

Akihito Matsukaze was engrossed in watching the women's match when Tetsuo Kuroo's voice sounded beside her.

Tetsuo Kurobi sat down in the seat next to her.

Akihito Matsukaze smiled sweetly at him, then realized that the rest of the team members had disappeared. She looked at Tetsuo Kuroo with some confusion.

Tetsuo Kuroo shrugged. "They're not interested in the women's match. They either went to buy food or went to the bathroom."

Akihito Matsukaze nodded and leaned on Tetsuo Kuroo's shoulder.

Tetsuo Kuroo subconsciously held her hand and asked again, "What are you thinking about?"

"If I hadn't left Miyagi, I would probably be like them now, fighting to dominate the country."

Akihito Matsukaze held Tetsuo Kuroo's hand and interlocked their fingers. "Yeah, maybe the media will chase after me for interviews and give me the title of 'new star.'"

Tetsuo Kuroo thought for a moment and corrected her. "The title of 'new star' is outdated. The media is now using titles like 'new female lead.'"

Akihito Matsukaze giggled and rubbed her head on Tetsuo Kuroo's shoulder before continuing. "Although dominating the country with Ah Hing gives me a sense of accomplishment, if I really stay in Miyagi, maybe I can only be ordinary friends with you for the rest of my life." Her tone was a little melancholy.

Tetsuo Kuroo held her hand tightly. His dark golden eyes had a hint of tenderness and affection. His voice was low and gentle. "That won't happen."

"How do I put it … Well, even if we can only meet again before we're seventy or eighty … Oh no, before we're fifty, we'll definitely be together."

Akihito Matsukaze was a little confused. "Why before we're fifty …?"

Tetsuo Kuroo's tone was particularly righteous. "It's said that after the age of fifty, men will be a little weak in all aspects.

If I only meet Shōnen Sauce after I'm fifty, I'm afraid that Shōnen Sauce will be disappointed in me. "

Akihito Matsukaze: "…" What do you mean by "all aspects"?!

Kuroo, do you know what you're saying?!

Tetsuo Kuroo asked sincerely, "You can understand me, right, Shōnen Sauce?" Then, Akihito Matsukaze fiercely pinched his arm.

Tetsuo Kuroo gasped in pain.

Akihito Matsukaze: Am I really a fool for suddenly feeling sad?

(̄?

̄)????

Seeing that Akihito Matsukaze had left her melancholy mood, Tetsuo Kuroo curled the corners of his mouth in satisfaction.

Maybe I'll be lost when I'm not clear about my feelings, but when I'm clear about my feelings … You'll definitely be mine, and no one can take you away from me.

A dark light flashed through the boy's dark golden eyes.

4 pm, Otokumo High School No. 1 Gymnasium.

"… That's basically the handover."

Takahashi looked at the first- and second-year students and curled the corners of his mouth. "I'll leave the volleyball club to you in the future."

After the boys' qualifiers, they took the tram back to Otokumo High School to officially carry out the handover.

"Yes!" The boys answered firmly. "Please rest assured, seniors!"

Sato also smiled. "Don't be lazy during training, we'll always be watching you."

Tea House, the new head coach, said seriously, "Seniors are always welcome for a surprise inspection!"

Shibuya, the new deputy head coach, said, "With Matsutake here, we can't be lazy."

Kobayashi punched Shibuya neither lightly nor heavily. "Don't push everything to Matsutake just because she's reliable!

You're a man! "

Shibuya touched his nose and muttered, "I'm just telling the truth …"

"And you, Shiroishi."

Kobayashi kicked Shiroishi again. "You're the one who inherited my No. 4 uniform, so be careful during the competition!

Got it?! "

"Yes, sir!" Shiroishi saluted in a not-so-standard manner. "I'll definitely be Otokumo's ace brain!"

Takahashi couldn't help but retort, "What the hell is ace brain?"

Sato patted his shoulder. "Compared to Kobayashi, your retort doesn't have the demeanor of a senior."

Takahashi said calmly, "It's rare for Kobayashi to act like a senior. I was just setting him off just now, don't misunderstand."

Kobayashi was dissatisfied. "I've always been like a senior, okay?!"

Takahashi and Sato ignored him and looked at Akihito Matsukaze instead.

"Matsutake, you've worked hard during this period. Thank you very much!

We'll have to trouble you to continue working hard from now on. "

"We'll irresponsibly leave this group of problem children to you. You've worked hard."

"After such a long hibernation, Wildcat will definitely be able to usher in its spring. I'm looking forward to it."

Akihito Matsukaze didn't say anything and just bowed deeply to the three third-year students.

"And you guys."

Takahashi looked at the three first-year students. "If you want to dominate the country, you'll have to work harder than us. So, all the best!"

"Yes!"

Tea House's eyes reddened as he said loudly, "Thank you seniors for teaching us for so long. Thank you very much!"

"Thank you very much!"

Looking at the team members bowing to them in gratitude, the three third-year students couldn't help but tear up.

So many things had happened in these three years …

"Good!

The emotional time is over! "After straightening up, Tea House clapped his hands." Next, it's time for the entertainment. "

Takahashi, Sato, and Kobayashi: "???"

Shibuya smiled. "After all, it's the last job. Seniors, you don't want it to end like this, right?!"

Kobayashi was alert. "What are you guys trying to do?!"

Tea House said calmly, "We've been in the same club for so long, but you've never treated us to a meal. Do you think it's appropriate?"

Takahashi was a little hesitant. "… Actually, we've thought about whether or not we should treat you guys to ramen …"

Tea House immediately bowed and thanked him. "Thank you for your generosity, seniors!"

The others followed suit. "Thank you, seniors!"

Looking at the helpless expressions of the three third-year students, Akihito Matsukaze pursed his lips and chuckled.

Letting Tea House's seniors be the leader was indeed the right decision.

So the group happily went to the ramen shop near the school.

"I'd like a big bowl of barbecued pork ramen and a set of dumplings, thank you."

"I want dumplings too!

And a big bowl of pufferbone ramen!

Thank you! "

"I'd like Dandan noodles, thank you."

"Please give me the signature ramen and an omelet, thank you."

"Mm … I'd also like the signature ramen and a set of sea radish, thank you."

"Please give me a set of Chinese ramen and a set of grilled saury, thank you!"

"What saury? Is Kuroo an uncle?!"

"Huh?!

A primary school student like you who eats omelets has no right to criticize me! "

Before Tetsuo Kuroo and Yasuke Yaku's bickering escalated, Hisense stopped them. "The seniors are still here, please calm down."

Sato couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Hai, you speak as if the three of us will die in the next second."

Hisense immediately apologized. "I'm sorry."

"No … Compared to this, I'm more concerned about something else."

Takahashi looked at the menu and felt sorry for the three third-year students' wallets. "Although the three of us are treating, you guys are too rude."

Shiroishi argued. "This is the seniors' last treat, of course we have to eat something good, otherwise it'll be rude!"

Takahashi was speechless. Actually, it didn't matter if it was rude, really.

Kobayashi patted Takahashi's shoulder. "Forget it, isn't this expected?"

Takahashi was helpless. He turned to Akihito Matsukaze, who had been silent all this time. "Matsutake, what about you?"

Akihito Matsukaze blinked and said, "I'd like Chinese ramen and a set of grilled sausages, thank you."

The others were strangely silent for a few seconds.

This ramen restaurant's grilled sausages were cut into octopus shapes. Generally, only customers with children would order them.

Tetsuo Kuroo praised without changing his expression. "Shōnen Sauce still retains a child's heart, that's good."

The others were speechless.

Akihito Matsukaze smiled at Tetsuo Kuroo obediently and softly.

While waiting for their food, everyone talked about the finals that had just ended.

"As expected of Owl Valley, to be able to win against Mount Jingji at 2624. It was really hard for us to win that time."

"I can only say that our luck wasn't good. We had to face Mount Jingji in the first round.

I really want to play a few more matches! "

"Hmph!

We'll definitely win next time!

We'll beat Mount Jingji to a pulp! "

"First, fix your bad habit of always making mistakes in your second attack, setter Shiroishi -kun."

"You actually know how to use the word 'pulp'. Looks like we don't have to worry about your modern literature exam, Shiroishi."

"You guys!

Don't look down on me! "

Takahashi smiled as he watched the three second-year students bicker. He turned to the first-year students and asked, "How's your revision going? Are you confident about your final exams?"

Sato was also a little curious. "Matsutake has been tutoring you during this period, right?

How's the effect? "

Yasuke Yaku clenched his fists. "There definitely won't be a problem. Please rest assured, seniors!"

Hisense also nodded and said calmly, "In addition to helping us highlight the key points, Matsutake also gave us mock questions.

Our accuracy rate is very high. "

Tetsuo Kuroo added with a smile, "Basically, the mock questions' scores are the official exam scores. It works every time."

Shiroishi and Kobayashi were a little puzzled. "Works every time?"

Sato facepalmed. "In simple terms, it works every time."

Shiroishi and Kobayashi finally understood.

"Matsutake, you're really amazing." Kobayashi sighed. "What did you eat growing up?!"

Akihito Matsukaze: "Rice."

Kobayashi: "…"

The rest: "… Pfft."

The Riverside Sports Club was set up in an office building in Asakusa, Tokyo.

Looking out through the bright windows of the office elevator, the afterglow of the setting sun cast a heavy shadow on the horizon. Beneath his feet was a bustling commercial street where every inch of land was worth gold.

The higher the elevator went, the higher the floor, and the denser the crowd and traffic on the street seemed to be.

"This is the first time I've seen the Sky Tree from such a high place." Walking out of the elevator, Tetsuo Kuroo looked out of the window and said with some surprise.

He and Akihito Matsukaze were now on the 30th floor of the office building. Looking out through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, they could see the distant and somewhat blurry silhouette of Tokyo's Clear Sky Tower.

"Well, it was because we could see the Sky Tree that we opened the club here."

Akihito Matsukaze took out a black card from her card bag and handed it to the lady at the service desk to confirm her identity.

Tetsuo Kuroo made a sound and asked nervously, "Are we going to find Big Brother now?"

Akihito Matsukaze looked at him with a half-smile, took back her card, and put it back in the card bag.

She put the card bag back in the inside of her bag and pulled Tetsuo Kuroo inside.

The members of Otokumo's club left after eating and drinking at the ramen restaurant. Akihito Matsukaze saw that it was still early and decided to find her brother.

Speaking of which, the three siblings didn't meet often.

Masayuki Irie began to be deeply involved in family affairs half a year ago and was very busy. Matsutake Akiho was a junior this year and was busy with schoolwork. He was also working on a project with a professor who appreciated him, so he was even busier. Akihito Matsukaze was originally quite relaxed, but because she joined the volleyball club, she became a lot busier.

Therefore, the three siblings usually contacted each other through phone calls.

Of course, this phone call referred to when the two brothers called the younger sister and said that they didn't want to train each other.

Tetsuo Kuroo said that he was worried about Akihito Matsukaze going out alone, so he followed Akihito Matsukaze to the club.

The more they walked, the more Tetsuo Kuroo realized that he was a bit nervous.

Although it wasn't an official visit, he was wearing sportswear to meet Shōnen Sauce's family. Wasn't that too casual?

Perhaps seeing his nervousness, Akihito Matsukaze introduced him to the club.

"The club's gym is on the 28th and 29th floors. In addition to the club members, there are also many office workers who come to the gym to work out." While talking, they stopped in front of a door marked "Volleyball AC".

Outside the door, there was a shoe cabinet with different sizes of leather shoes in it.

Through the unlatched door, they could vaguely hear the "bang" and "dong" sounds of volleyball hitting the ground.

"Big brother and his friends come here every weekend to play volleyball."

Akihito Matsukaze gestured to Tetsuo Kuroo to take off his shoes and continued, "There's sound insulation under the floor, so you don't have to worry about the problem of loud noise."

Tetsuo Kuroo took off his shoes and subconsciously tidied up his clothes.

Akihito Matsukaze smiled and bent down to put their shoes in the shoe cabinet. She pushed open the unlatched door and said generously, "Sorry to disturb you."

Tetsuo Kuroo also said respectfully, "Sorry to disturb you!"

The dozen or so people in the room stopped what they were doing and looked in the direction of the door.

The dozen or so people were young, and the oldest looked no more than 30 years old. They had different temperaments, but they were all very energetic.

They were wearing red and blue jerseys, and it was obvious that they had just divided into two teams to play a game.

When the young people saw Akihito Matsukaze, they all showed doting smiles. When they saw Tetsuo Kuroo, their expressions showed some curiosity, ambiguity, and ridicule.

Tetsuo Kuroo recognized who Masayuki Irie was at first glance.

Compared to Akihito Matsukaze's bright and dazzling appearance, Masayuki Irie was more gentle and reserved.

Among the group of young people who were very tall, his height was also very outstanding. At this time, he was wearing sportswear, and his shoulders were wide, his legs were long, and his waist was thin. His sweaty face had a bit of vigorous spirit.

When that pair of clear black and white phoenix eyes looked at Akihito Matsukaze, they were full of tenderness and doting. He only looked at Tetsuo Kuroo for a moment before moving his gaze back to Akihito Matsukaze.

Tetsuo Kuroo touched his nose. Was he being despised by Shōnen Sauce's big brother?

"Hello, brothers."

Akihito Matsukaze pulled Tetsuo Kuroo inside. After standing beside Masayuki Irie, she first greeted the young people, and then called out in a very obedient way, "Big Brother."

Masayuki Irie's mouth curved, and his smile was very gentle and doting. "Shōnen Sauce."

As he spoke, he wanted to reach out and touch Akihito Matsukaze's little head. However, he remembered that he had played volleyball and had not washed his hands, so he retracted his hand.

His gaze was fixed on Akihito Matsukaze, and he was not willing to give Tetsuo Kuroo a single bit.

Tetsuo Kuroo: "…" Oh, was he really being despised?!

"Shōnen Sauce is here. Is this your boyfriend?" The young people also greeted Akihito Matsukaze.

"Yes.

This is my boyfriend, Tetsuo Kuroo -kun. "

Akihito Matsukaze generously admitted, and then introduced the group of young people to Tetsuo Kuroo, especially his big brother, Masayuki Irie.

Tetsuo Kuroo bowed respectfully and greeted, "Nice to meet you. I am Tetsuo Kuroo, nice to meet you."

He was obviously very nervous, but when he saw Masayuki Irie's straight face, he did not know why, but he felt like laughing.

When he was in elementary school, Tetsuo Kuroo had only seen Akihito Matsukaze's mother. His impression of her was that she was a lady who looked cold but was very gentle.

Today was the first time Tetsuo Kuroo met Masayuki Irie, and he always felt that his big brother's straight face was more like … he was throwing a tantrum.

Tetsuo Kuroo collected his thoughts and focused on the situation in front of him.

Except for Masayuki Irie, the rest of the people responded to Tetsuo Kuroo's greetings, and asked a few questions about Akihito Matsukaze's recent studies, and so on. After that, the originally suspended game resumed.

Masayuki Irie let another person replace his position on the field, and led Akihito Matsukaze and Tetsuo Kuroo to the other side of the rest area.

"Big brother, here."

Akihito Matsukaze smiled and handed the bag to Masayuki Irie, "This is your favorite matcha cake roll I made."

"Thank you.

You can buy it next time, don't be too tired. "

Masayuki Irie took the bag, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl up, and the smile in his eyes deepened, but when he saw Tetsuo Kuroo, he stopped smiling.

"It's for big brother, of course I have to make it myself."

Akihito Matsukaze said somewhat coquettishly, and when she saw Masayuki Irie's serious face when he saw Tetsuo Kuroo, she gently tugged at his clothes and solemnly introduced the two of them to each other again.

"Hello, big brother!" Tetsuo Kuroo bowed again.

This time, Masayuki Irie's face finally softened, and he turned to look at Tetsuo Kuroo, and said in a calm tone, "Hello, I know you."

Akihito Matsukaze secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and the smile on her face spread from the corners of her mouth to the tips of her eyebrows and the corners of her eyes, making her look brighter and more lively.

If big brother really threw a tantrum, it was much harder to coax him than dad.

Fortunately, because this time it was just a little bit of a temper … it was right to inform the family first.

As soon as Tetsuo Kuroo turned his head, he saw Akihito Matsukaze's bright and sweet smile, and for a moment, he was a little dazed.

Masayuki Irie coughed softly, and gently said to Akihito Matsukaze, "Be good, go and watch the match. Big brother wants to chat with Kuroo."

Tetsuo Kuroo came back to his senses, and awkwardly scratched the back of his head. When he heard Masayuki Irie's words, he subconsciously tensed up his back again.

Akihito Matsukaze looked at Masayuki Irie with some hesitation, and then looked at Tetsuo Kuroo with some worry. She seemed to want to say something, but hesitated.

Tetsuo Kuroo's eyes had a hint of a smile, and he rubbed Akihito Matsukaze's little head, and calmly said, "Go."

Akihito Matsukaze nodded obediently, turned around, and walked briskly in the direction of the arena.

Masayuki Irie: "… Tsk."

His beautiful, gentle, kind, and adorable little sister was really taken away by this disheveled haired brat. He was so upset!

Akihito Matsukaze sat on a chair by the side of the arena, watching the match.

Although she was watching the match, Akihito Matsukaze's attention was obviously more focused on Masayuki Irie and Tetsuo Kuroo.

It was too far away, and she couldn't hear what they were saying, but their expressions and the atmosphere around them were more relaxed.

Akihito Matsukaze was a little relieved.

"What, are you worried that Seishin will bully your boyfriend?"

A white-haired young man sat beside her, and after wiping his sweat, he turned to look at Akihito Matsukaze and asked half-jokingly.

He had a faint smile on his face, but there was no smile in his eyes, and he looked at Akihito Matsukaze with a focused and deep gaze.

"Brother Takashi!" Akihito Matsukaze was a little embarrassed as she twisted her fingers. "Why are you making fun of me?"

"Don't worry."

Takanao Orihara was still focused on Akihito Matsukaze, and he said somewhat casually, "This isn't an official visit, so Seishin won't make things difficult for him."

"After all, he is the guy that Sister Zhaoyan has been thinking about, so it's not good to not get to know him." Takanao Orihara said, and his gaze became deeper.

Akihito Matsukaze didn't take Takanao Orihara's last sentence to heart, because she was troubled by another matter.

"Brother Takashi.

What does' won't make things difficult for him if it's not an official visit 'mean? "Akihito Matsukaze tilted her head and asked, and her fingers were twisted together.

Takanao Orihara spread out his hands. "It's the literal meaning. This really isn't an official visit, is it?"

Akihito Matsukaze pouted and said somewhat unhappily, "If Brother really makes things difficult for Kuroo, then I won't talk to him anymore."
