"Ah, good afternoon Shimizu-chan, I brought my boyfriend to go shopping with me again."
The aunt at the condiment shop asked with a smile when she saw the two people walking in together.
Having long been accustomed to the jokes from uncles and aunts in the shopping street, Jiezi nodded and accepted the title of Hayato's boyfriend.
"Auntie Kijima, good afternoon, please bring me a bottle of soy sauce and mirin, ah, and a bottle of shichimi powder."
"Okay, is it still the same?"
"Well, please."
After thanking Aunt Kijima at the condiment store, Kiyoko explained to Hayato while she was getting something.
"With you here, I can just replenish the missing spices at home."
Raise the hand holding the bag and make a muscle-flexing motion.
"Leave it to me~"
Hayato readily accepted Kiyoko's proposal. After buying all the things, the two returned to Kiyoko's house carrying several big bags. As soon as they entered the door, they saw Kiyoko's mother who was cleaning up the entrance.
Since returning from Hawaii last time, Kiyoko's mother asked Kiyoko cryptically what they had done, and learned that Hayato had not crossed the line. Facing Hayato who was both polite and restrained, she was even more satisfied.
Hearing that Hayato was coming to have hot pot together in the evening, Kisuko's mother happily welcomed him. After setting the time, Hayato left on the grounds that he still had to clean up the house.
After he left, Jiezi's mother held her chin in her hands.
"Ah, Hayato looks like a really good son-in-law."
Of course, Jiezi, who had already gone upstairs, did not hear this.
After cleaning up the house, he took the dried bedding back to the room and wrote his summer homework in the room for a while. At 6 o'clock in the evening, Hayato came to the door on time to have dinner.
After Jiezi brought him into the living room, Jiezi's father, who had already got off work, was sitting in the main seat.
"Hayato is here. Good evening. Come and sit down."
"In the evening, Uncle Zhengyi."
The head of the Shimizu family, Shimizu Seiichi, is the section chief of a track and field sports goods company, and his mother, Shimizu Misato, is a full-time housewife. The couple are also very kind-hearted. Hayato was often entrusted to the Shimizu family to take care of him when he was a child. This is why Hayato My relationship with Jiezi has been so good since we were children.
"I heard that Jiezi said that you have been selected as the main selection? When is the competition? Your Aunt Misato and I will go to watch your competition."
Smiling kindly at Hayato, Seiichi asked about the game time of the Karasuno Volleyball Club.
While chatting with Zhengyi, Jiezi and her mother quickly put the prepared ingredients on the table. Seeing that they were ready, Zhengyi stopped chatting and let everyone start eating.
Hayato was not polite at the dinner table. He put whatever he wanted to eat into the bowl. Jieyi was taking care of him, serving him food and water. Seeing Jieyi taking care of Hayato like his wife, Zhengyi and his wife smiled at each other. He glanced at her and said nothing.
After finishing the hot pot, the satisfied Hayato was called over to the sofa by Seiichi. The two men started chatting while Jiezi and her mother were responsible for clearing the table.
"Yeah, Jiezi has liked to take care of you since she was a child, and you are willing to follow her. To be honest, I am not worried about you two. I just want to ask whether the ceremony will be Western or Japanese."
The topic of lightning strikes at the opening made Hayato choke, and Jiezi from the kitchen also called her daddy in a coquettish way.
After coughing twice, Hayato finally regained his breath and touched the tip of his nose.
"Well, Uncle Zhengyi, it's too early to talk about this now."
"Hey, it's getting late, you are not considered children anymore, and Jiezi is about to graduate. When she goes to college, you two will have to be separated for a year, so it's a good time to settle down now."
It seems that Jiezi's career path questionnaire is filled out to continue studying in college. Seiichi also knows this. Hayato is a sophomore in high school. After Jiezi graduates and goes to college, the two of them will have to stay apart for a year, so he plans to decide first. Get these things down.
"Well, it's still early for Sister Jiezi and I, it will take a few years."
Hayato and Kiyoko also discussed this matter when chatting on the mobile phone. Kiyoko planned to go to college and become a nutritionist. Hayato would definitely graduate and join the professional volleyball league. When Kiyoko graduates, he would also apply for Hayato's team. team nutritionist, so that the two of them can be together again.
"Well, since you two have thought about it carefully, I won't ask any more questions."
Seeing that Hayato answered him with a very serious expression, Zhengyi stopped forcing him.
After staying at Jiezi's house for a while, Hayato said goodbye and left. Jiezi saw him out of the entrance, and the two of them stopped in front of Jiezi's house.
"Don't take it to heart what dad said, you still have to concentrate on the game now, you know?"
Putting her hands on her hips, Jiezi asked Hayato not to think too much as a sister, but she didn't know that her red ears had exposed her shy mood. When her father finished talking about the ceremony, she thought about wearing it herself. Wedding dress and Bai Wuju look.
"Yes~yes~"
"It only needs to be said once."
Kiyoko, who had nothing to do with Hayato, smiled helplessly, then sent Hayato out of the door, and walked to the iron gate of his house. Hayato turned around and shot him back.
"Sister Jiezi, whether in a wedding dress or in a white dress, she must be super beautiful! Good night!"
After saying that, without waiting for Jiezi's reaction, he waved and walked in.
"This guy..."
Kisuko's face turned red after being teased by Hayato, she shook her head with a smile, and stayed outside for a while to wait for the temperature on her face to return to normal before returning home.
After the club activities resumed, every day was normal. Hayato and Kiyoko repeated the routine of going to school to practice every day and then going home to do their summer homework. Occasionally, they also took advantage of the time after the club activities to go to the movies and go shopping. The club activities during the summer vacation are not from morning to night, so there is still time for them to go on dates.
For Hayato, it was still relatively new that someone from the Spring High School Committee came to record the information of new players one day. Everyone on the volleyball team stood together, squatting in one row in front and standing in the back, and took a group photo.
In this way, the time came to the day before the Spring High Qualifiers.
Before the club activities started, Mr. Takeda called everyone in front of him, read out the duel list to everyone, and encouraged everyone. After the summer camp and the training during this period, the reborn Karasuno will surely leave a deep impression on other schools. Bar.
Everyone is very motivated for tomorrow's game.
After starting training, Mr. Takeda sat on a chair and looked at the information set just sent to him, when Coach Wu Yang came over.
"Teacher, what are you looking at, so seriously?"
"Ah, Wu Yangjun, the data set I took a few days ago has just been sent over. Our newcomers are also very good, but I didn't expect that other teams are not bad either."
Takeda-sensei showed the information collection in his hand to Coach Uyo, and there happened to be a tall player on the unfolded page, whose uniform read Kadokawa Academy.
"Ah, this guy is indeed very powerful."
Seeing this player, Coach Wuyang also sighed, and then he looked at the Karasuno members who were training.
"However, Mr. Takeda, we still have to believe in them."
"That's right."
Looking at the members who were training hard, Mr. Takeda and Coach Wu Yang laughed at the same time.
Facing the upcoming game, Hayato is also excited, and his batting power has increased a lot during training.
"It's so heavy, Hayato. Your smashing power has increased a lot."
Nishitani praised after catching Hayato's spike.
"You still caught it, but the next ball won't be that simple. Just catch it!"
"bring it on!"
The day before Spring High School, everyone practiced hard and then ended the training for the day.
After returning home, Hayato neatly folded the distributed jersey and put it into his sports bag.
"It's about to begin. The first step to enter the country, the Spring High School preliminaries, I'm here."
Standing on the balcony excitedly, looking at the stars in the sky, Hayato clenched his fists.
At this time, Jiezi from across the balcony came out.
"why are not you sleeping?"
"Sister Jiezi, you haven't slept either, you can't sleep."
"Me too, this is the last game for our third grade."
Jiezi leaned on the balcony, imitating Hayato and looking at the stars in the sky.
"Um."
"Hayato."
"Um?"
"Tomorrow, work hard."
"Of course, just trust me."
