At six o'clock in the morning, the alarm rang on time.
The boy in the bed stirred, and finally got up reluctantly amidst the deafening sound of the alarm.
"Good morning--"
Tianyuan Shuo also habitually opened the door to say hello, but only his own voice echoed in the empty two-story villa, which seemed particularly deserted.
But this is a normal thing, he thought. After all, he had insisted on moving back to Hyogo Prefecture from the United States from the United States in the first semester of high school. Not only did his family not ask his opinion, but they also helped him pay for it in advance for two years. The rent for half a small villa is enough for a very liberal parent.
Even his mother was afraid that he would not be accustomed to eating, so she hired a domestic worker to clean him every day when he went to school and prepare lunch for the next day, so that he could go to school and play volleyball in Japan without any worries.
Tenwon Sakuya moved very quickly. When he thought that today was his first morning training session after successfully joining the club in Japan, he couldn't wait to sit at the dining table and finish his breakfast, so he went out with a piece of bread in his mouth.
The address his parents chose for him is quite close to Inarizaki High School, and it only takes about twenty minutes to walk. In order to prevent his family from getting lost, they thoughtfully chose a community location that is on the same main road as the school. .
Tianyuan Shuo was also in a good mood facing the cool morning breeze. He clapped his hands on his face to encourage him: "Yo Xi, you must leave a good impression on your teammates today, come on Shuo!"
Rintaro Kakuna who happened to be passing by said: "Ah."
Tenwon Sakuya turned around without warning when he heard the voice behind him: "...Ah!"
Looking at the visitor's iconic fox eyes, Tenwon Sakuya's mood instantly hit rock bottom. He screamed inwardly: How could it be, how could it be Kakuna-san? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-up or-down-to-noise-sounding look of Takuya Kakuya's foxy eyes as the name of Kakua-san's foxy eyes? The picture was watched by Kakuna's classmate, and the already thin-skinned Tenwon Saku wished he could immediately turn back time and shake himself awake from his stupidity just now.
Kakuname was silent and silent as he watched the psychological fluctuations written on the transfer student's face. Out of a rare kindness, Kakuname decided to ignore what he saw just now and greeted him calmly: "Good morning."
Tenwon Saku also lowered his head and followed Kakuname: "Kakuname-san, good morning."
Suna was a little helpless: "It's not Suna, Suna's classmate. After all, we are teammates from now on, so there is no need to add honorifics."
After saying the name of the character, he saw from the corner of his eye that the blond boy following behind him suddenly stopped in place: "Why...hey, don't cry."
Tianyuan Shuo also sniffed and retorted stubbornly: "I didn't cry."
Kakuname looked at his watery eyes and took a moment to swallow back the complaints on his lips: "Okay."
Tenwon Saku also knew that his rebuttal was untenable. He blushed and added in a low voice: "Because Kakuname is the first friend I made in Inarizaki."
Character name: Not really.
"Well," Tenwon Sakuya secretly raised his head and glanced at Kakuya expectantly, "Kakuya can call me Sakuya."
"...you sure?"
Tianyuan Shuo also nodded, his big aqua eyes shining miserably: "They used to call me that when I was in the United States. They said it was because the pronunciation of Tianyuan was too difficult."
Kakuname's eyes died inwardly: Is this an open-minded American? Learned a lot.
Kakuna, who really dislikes dealing with interpersonal relationships, originally wanted to refuse, but when she saw Sakuya Tenin's eyes that hinted at expectation, she was worried that if she refused, he would make him cry. It would be more troublesome if he cried, and in the end he felt weak. He agreed: "Okay, Sakuya."
"!"
It seems like you can see the tail of the puppy wagging wildly behind you, Tenwon Sakuya-kun~
Tenwon Sakuya: "I, I will continue to work hard and will not let Kakuname down."
Kakuname: No, wait, what are you talking about?
"Kakuname, it turns out you live on this street too. What a coincidence. Maybe we can go to school together every morning from now on."
"Um."
"Kakuna, how is Inarizaki's daily training volume? I'm really worried that I can't keep up with everyone's progress and I'm holding everyone back."
"fine."
"Kakuname, that spike you made yesterday was the 'whoop-pop' one. How did you do it? I was stunned to see it from the side."
Character name: "Ah, what a coincidence."
"Corner name..."
Rintaro Kakuna finally couldn't help complaining: "Isn't your style of painting wrong? It's really wrong, isn't it? Aren't you a shy crybaby character?"
The mixed-race child Tenwon Saku, who didn't understand what the character's name was saying, also tilted his head and asked with some confusion: "What does the character's name, painting style, and character design mean?"
Kakuname's usually dull eyes have completely lost their luster: "No, it's nothing. Just forget it if you don't understand."
So a very magical scene appeared at the entrance of Inarizaki. Rintaro Kakuna, who is usually very popular on campus but very difficult to get close to, took off his headphones in a rare move, followed closely behind him. He had just turned around because of his good looks. Sakuya Tenwon, a new classmate on the school's anonymous SNS.
The two people obviously have very different styles, but after a few more glances, they are surprisingly harmonious.
Kakuna was walking slightly ahead and was about to turn left, but found that Tenwon Saku behind him was also heading in the completely opposite direction to the gymnasium.
Kakuna sighed inwardly for the umpteenth time and held Tenwon Sakuya's backpack strap obligingly: "You're going the wrong way. Isn't there a sign at the door?"
Tianyuan Shuo also followed the name of the character and changed directions obediently. He stretched out his left hand and scratched his face in embarrassment: "That...actually, I can't understand it."
Kakuname: Yes, although I speak Japanese fluently, the transfer student did grow up in the United States.
As if he thought of something interesting, Kakuna's foxy eyes curled up: "Sakuya, in Japan, if you fail the exam, there is a high possibility that you will be deprived of the qualification to participate in volleyball competitions."
Tianyuan Shuo also froze: "Eh?"
Kakuname patted him on the shoulder: "So work hard. If you can't participate in the game because you failed the exam, just wait for the sanction from Coach Kurosu."
Tianyuan Shuoye lives alone and completely lets himself go: Wow!
The two long-legged volleyball athletes quickly disappeared from the sight of some classmates who also got up early to participate in club activities. Unknown to them, this scene caused a small disturbance in the school's anonymous forum: "Express Report-Transfer Student" Claimed by Black Fox! "Is there racial segregation between golden retriever dogs and black foxes?" "Will any of my sisters hold support signs with me in the next game?" I raise the Heavenly Court, you raise the title of the corner" "The number of pool noodles in the men's volleyball team has increased again, and I fainted with happiness".

"Hey," Coach Kurosu raised his hand in greeting, "What's rare, Kakuname, you didn't come alone."
Rintaro Kakuna and Saku Tenwon also bowed politely: "Good morning, Coach Kurosu."
Coach Kurosu waved his hand to indicate that they didn't need to be polite. He raised his wrist and glanced at the time: "Now that we're here, let's just go for a run. Kakuname, take Tenten with you. He doesn't know the way."
Although he wanted to complain about the coach for tying the two people together without any reason, he also knew in his heart that anyone with a discerning eye could see that Tianyuan Shuo would definitely occupy a primary position after this, and he would be a secondary attacker like him. Hands, it is only natural to seize the time to cultivate the tacit understanding between them, so although I have a headache in my heart, I still acquiesce to the coach's plan.
Putting down their schoolbags, taking off their coats, and briefly moving their bodies, the two began their morning jog along the path.
Inarizaki High School is originally located among paddy fields. Both the scenery and the air quality around the school are first-rate. The sun just peeks out from the sky, and the breeze carrying water vapor blows by in the early morning, which makes people feel... Feeling relaxed and happy.
Tenwon Sakuya has consciously calmed down since he started running, which made Kakuna let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. It is such an enjoyable atmosphere. A beautiful day should start from...
"It's all your fault, Shizhuji. If it weren't for you, why would we be late?"
"Huh? You pig, what nonsense are you talking about? Who was it that made us late for breakfast? I even got up early to make breakfast for you. If I had known, you, a pig, would have starved to death."
"It's obviously you!"
"It's obviously you!"
Finally got a calm role name:...
The Miya twins, who are famous in Inarizaki, were fighting while approaching Kakuna and Tenin Sakuya who were jogging at high speed, causing a lot of confusion along the way.
This is Gongji who is still a little polite: "Ah, good morning, Kakuname, Tenwon."
This is Gong Yoo who is focusing on the fight: "Damn Zhuji..."
This is the name of the character that strikes the wooden fish in the heart as having no desires or desires: "Good morning, Zhi, Yu."
This is Tenwon Sakuya who was hiding behind Kakuna and mustering up the courage to say hello: "Good morning, good morning, Miya-san and Miya-san."
Miyaji heard this title after a long time. He raised his eyelids and glanced at Tenwon Sakuya: "I am Osamu and he is Atsumu. Just call them by their names."
Gong Zhi glanced at his brother's face and kicked him unceremoniously: "What kind of expression do you think you are showing? You obviously talked about Tianyuan's football skills all the way last night, so why are you acting like a mute this morning?"
Gong Yoo, who was mercilessly exposed by Gong Zhi, jumped three feet high: "You farted stupidly, and if you have a deaf ear, can you go see a doctor?"
Tenwon Saku, who didn't know why he was named, also hid behind Kakuname and tried to shrink himself even smaller.
Looking at Gong Yu who appeared to be tough but actually glanced at Tenwon Sakuya from time to time, Kakuname slowly told the truth: "Yoo, have you ever thought that Sakuya didn't answer your question yesterday, maybe because he didn't answer your question at all? Do you understand your Kansai accent?"
The two brothers were instantly abstracted into Dou Douyan: Yuan, is that why?
**
The friction between the young people came and went quickly. Ever since he found out that Tianyuan Shuo did not understand him at all and did not deliberately ignore him, Gong You quickly became familiar with him and started calling him "Xiao Shuo" every time. No pressure.
After all, for Gong Yoo, he only depends on your volleyball ability when making friends. As long as you play well enough, he will be the best setter for attackers.
Kakuna and Miyaji ran behind the two of them, looking at the two golden and furry heads in front of them coming together, they suddenly had the illusion that our son was just growing up.
After running around in a long circle and running back to the school, Coach Kurosu was chatting in a low voice with the captain Soya Kimura. He didn't say anything when he saw the four of them gathered together, and just waved his hand to greet them.
After everyone was almost there, Coach Kurosu finally spoke: "To make a long story short, the assistant supervisor of Shiratorizawa called yesterday and invited us to participate in a sleepover before spring high school, and I agreed."
Gong Yoo's eyes lit up: "Oh, it's that strong school with Ushijima Wakali."
Coach Kurosu nodded: "That's right, in addition to our Inarizaki in Hyogo Prefecture and Shiratorizawa in Miyagi Prefecture, we also invited Lion Heavy Industries from Kanagawa, Otokoma from Tokyo, and some other people around Miyagi. A powerful school.”
"Isn't this training session a bit early? But this lineup is quite strong."
"Wow, it's exciting just thinking about it. It's a pity that I shouldn't be selected."
"No way, those bombs from Lion Heavy Industries, your arms will really be crippled if you catch their balls, right?"
Coach Kurosu coughed twice and signaled the players to discuss it later. He took the list handed over by assistant Xiaolin: "Today is mainly about announcing the list of personnel for this joint training camp."
Tenwon Saku, who had just arrived in Japan, didn't know what the names of these powerful schools represented, but he could understand what Coach Kurosu said.
Tianyuan Shuo, who had just joined the volleyball club and had not yet received his nickname, was extremely nervous. Even Gong Yoo, who had always been generous, couldn't stand it and said a few words of comfort: "Don't worry, Kurosu doesn't have eyes. Of course he knows what to do." Who should I take to the joint training?"
Coach Kurosu pretended that he didn't hear Miya Yu's names, and continued: "Oshiro Aran, Da Erren, Kimura Soya, Tajima Hiroji, Sakai Takashi, Kitano Shinsuke, Akagi Ricunari, Miyaji, Miyaji Yu, the corner name is Rintaro, Ginshima Yui.”
"And, the newly joined Tenwon Sakuya, above."
"By the way, don't leave when Tianyuan is disbanded later. Let's measure your basic data and height and length. You need to make your team uniform before going out for training."
Tianyuan Shuo also faced Coach Kurosu's encouraging and affirmative eyes, and his heart pounded from his throat back to his chest. The feeling of finally being down to earth was so wonderful.
Tianyuan Shuo also straightened his back, revealing for the first time the unique sharpness of a young man: "Hey! I won't let you down, coach."
