The next day, when Akihito Matsukaze arrived at school, it was already 12: 30 in the afternoon.

The members of the volleyball department were so hungry that their chests were stuck to their backs. They were lying on the floor in a disorderly manner, pretending that they were salted fish being exposed to the sun.

This morning, Shibuya and the others were very happy when they found out that Akihito Matsukaze had come back early.

Seeing the happy Tetsuo Kuroo who had switched back to his normal self, everyone shook their heads and sighed.

# This is the power of love #

# Unknowingly, another mouthful of dog food was forced down my throat #

Yasuke Yaku looked at Tetsuo Kuroo, whose gloominess was swept away, and facepalmed. "Why do I feel like Kuroo is even more annoying than before?"

Shiroishi asked subconsciously, "G?

In Yaku's eyes, is there ever a time when Kuroo isn't annoying? "

Yasuke Yaku: "… Shiroishi senpai, please don't speak the truth."

Shiroishi didn't understand, but he still replied with an "oh" to show that he understood.

Tetsuo Kuroo glanced coldly at Yasuke Yaku and didn't say anything.

Yasuke Yaku's scalp went numb from Tetsuo Kuroo's meaningful glance.

When practicing the face-to-face pass, Yasuke Yaku finally understood what Tetsuo Kuroo's glance meant.

"Tetsuo Kuroo!

Do you believe that I'll beat you up if you play drop ball again? "Yasuke Yaku wanted to smash Tetsuo Kuroo to death with a volleyball.

Tetsuo Kuroo's reply was very straightforward and righteous. "Yaku isn't good at drop balls, so of course he has to practice more."

Yasuke Yaku retorted bluntly, "Shut up, Kuroo catfish-kun!"

"So you're saying that I activated Yaku's survival ability?"

Tetsuo Kuroo's mouth twitched, revealing a fake smile. "You don't have to thank me. After all, I've always treated people with sincerity and enthusiasm."

Yasuke Yaku directly threw a volleyball at Tetsuo Kuroo's face.

Tetsuo Kuroo calmly dodged, picked up another volleyball, and threw it at Yasuke Yaku.

The rest of the people squatted on the side and enjoyed the show..

It wasn't until the two started throwing the volleyball at each other that the Tea House finally stopped them, as a leader, to prevent the situation from worsening the situation.

Shiraishi whispered to Shibuya, "Why did Ye Jiu say that Blacktail is a catfish?"

Shibuya also explained to Shiroishi in a low voice what the catfish effect was.

Shiroishi nodded, somewhat understanding.

The lunch break started at noon.

Because Tetsuo Kuroo said that Akihito Matsukaze would prepare lunch and bring it over at noon, Shibuya didn't order any food.

Everyone was eagerly waiting for Akihito Matsukaze and her lunch.

Shiroishi asked again in a low voice, "Why didn't Matsutake come over in the morning?"

Tetsuo Kuroo put his fist to his lips and coughed lightly. "Shōnen Sauce just came back from a trip, so her biological clock hasn't adjusted yet."

The rest of the people had a look of realization. Only Hisense looked at Tetsuo Kuroo meaningfully.

Tetsuo Kuroo's expression was calm.

When Akihito Matsukaze's figure appeared outside the gymnasium, everyone's eyes lit up. They all got up and staggered towards Akihito Matsukaze.

Target: Akihito Matsukaze's lunch box.

Akihito Matsukaze: "…" I think I just saw a group of losers. _ (: з 」 ∠) _

Lunch was eaten on the grass outside the gymnasium. With the dense shade of the trees and the occasional breeze, it felt like a picnic.

“！

Matsutake, what happened to your hand?! "Noticing the bruise on Akihito Matsukaze's left wrist, Yasuke Yaku's eyes widened in shock.

The rest of the people gathered around and started to talk about their concerns.

Tetsuo Kuroo had a rare guilty conscience, so he coughed lightly.

Akihito Matsukaze's skin was white to begin with, so the bruise on her wrist looked particularly scary.

Akihito Matsukaze calmly replied: "It's nothing, I got hit in the head by a big head."

Shiroishi: "Big head?!"

The rest of the people expressed that they didn't know what it meant. Akihito Matsukaze, who knew what it meant, expressed that she refused to answer this question.

Tetsuo Kuroo touched his nose and gently pulled on Akihito Matsukaze's sleeve.

Akihito Matsukaze glanced at Tetsuo Kuroo with a bit of pride.

Tetsuo Kuroo said in a low voice: "I'll help you apply medicine later." His tone had a rare hint of flattery.

Akihito Matsukaze's cheeks were slightly red, but she still softly said: "Okay."

Although the pure sports students didn't understand the content of the article in depth, they all buried their heads in their lunch and used their actions to refuse to be fed dog food again.

Akihito Matsukaze hugged her knees and rested her face on them. She stared unblinkingly at Tetsuo Kuroo, who was sitting beside her and eating seriously.

Unexpectedly, Akihito Matsukaze's face secretly turned red when she thought of last night's passion.

Last night, the two of them had almost driven a newbie car. Although they didn't really do anything in the end, Akihito Matsukaze was still unbearably tired.

Her left wrist was already a little sore, and she had overused it last night. Today, her left hand almost couldn't exert any strength.

This morning, Akihito Matsukaze struggled to get out of bed with the support of her tenacious willpower.

Until now, Akihito Matsukaze still felt that her bones were lazy. If she could sit, she didn't want to stand. She didn't want to move at all.

Tetsuo Kuroo was satisfied with getting Akihito Matsukaze's full attention. There was a smile on his face.

Shiroishi sighed: "Of course it's good to be able to eat Matsutake's delicious food again, but this also means that the days of eating dog food every day are back."

Tea House: "How many times have I told you? Don't speak the truth."

Shibuya calmly agreed.

Shiroishi was deeply affected.

This time, it was the first graders' turn to enjoy the melons of the second graders.

After lunch, everyone returned to the stadium.

After eating and drinking to their fill, everyone was in the mood to gossip about Akihito Matsukaze's overseas trip.

Akihito Matsukaze picked out some interesting things to talk about, then took out her phone from her backpack to show everyone the photos.

Akihito Matsukaze also said that because she ended the trip early, the gifts she bought for everyone were still in the mail. She asked everyone to check and receive them.

With Tea House taking the lead, everyone expressed their gratitude.

Tetsuo Kuroo's lips curled up. He looked at Akihito Matsukaze with a meaningful smile.

Akihito Matsukaze's face immediately turned bright red.

Tea House coughed: "Okay, okay, everyone go rest. We can't slack off in the afternoon training." It was better to go rest. They really didn't want to see these two show off their love.

Tetsuo Kuroo pulled Akihito Matsukaze to the club activity room. He took out the ointment from his bag and prepared to apply it on Akihito Matsukaze.

Tetsuo Kuroo sat next to Akihito Matsukaze and whispered something in her ear.

He said: "I received Shōnen Sauce's gift last night.

Thank you. "

Akihito Matsukaze's face turned even redder.

She glared fiercely at Tetsuo Kuroo, stretched out her left wrist, and said angrily: "Apply the ointment!"

Tetsuo Kuroo shrugged and pulled Akihito Matsukaze's hand to apply the ointment.

In fact, Akihito Matsukaze brought a suitcase full of gifts for Tetsuo Kuroo.

Last night, Akihito Matsukaze wanted to use this suitcase of gifts to divert Tetsuo Kuroo's attention. But in the next second, Tetsuo Kuroo took off her pajamas.

The ointment was cool, but the youth's fingertips were warm.

Akihito Matsukaze looked at Tetsuo Kuroo with rapt attention. She felt that the Kuroo who was helping her apply the ointment now was different from the Kuroo who wiped her feet last time.

But Akihito Matsukaze couldn't tell what was different.

"Hiss!" Tetsuo Kuroo suddenly exerted force. Akihito Matsukaze gasped in pain: "It hurts!"

Tetsuo Kuroo showed a comforting smile: "Good girl, you have to rub the bruise to get better quickly." His smile was gentle, but the strength of his hand didn't decrease in the slightest.

Akihito Matsukaze was in so much pain that tears welled up in her eyes. Soon, even her nose turned red, and her little face wrinkled up, looking pitiful and cute.

Tetsuo Kuroo looked up to the sky and sighed.

He looked down to avoid Akihito Matsukaze's accusing eyes, and rubbed her wrist for a while until the ointment was completely absorbed.

Akihito Matsukaze's eyes were red and full of tears, but she stubbornly bit her lips to prevent the tears from falling.

Tetsuo Kuroo pulled Akihito Matsukaze into his arms, patted her back, and pinched the back of her neck to comfort her.

Akihito Matsukaze held Tetsuo Kuroo's left hand.

She bit Tetsuo Kuroo's wrist in revenge.

The slight pain from his wrist made Tetsuo Kuroo's eyes darken.

In the afternoon, when Akihito Matsukaze appeared again, she was already wearing a mask.

There was a row of unclear teeth marks on Tetsuo Kuroo's left wrist.

The Tea House and the others' faces were full of the meaning of "something is going on" and "gossip".

Akihito Matsukaze raised her eyebrows: "Seniors, you are going on a study trip when school starts, right?"

The second-year seniors: "???" How did the topic jump to a study trip?!

Akihito Matsukaze crossed her arms and said indifferently: "In other words, seniors won't be able to train for nearly a week.

There's still some time before school starts, so please do your best. "

Threat, this was a naked threat!

Tea House, Shibuya, and Shiroishi: "…" We just want to hear some gossip!

Akihito Matsukaze looked at Yasuke Yaku and Hisense.

Yasuke Yaku patted Hisense's back: "Hai, let's go train."

Hisense smiled and nodded: "Okay, Yaku."
