"Kuroo-san, mind sharing where we're going?" Hideko asked as she walks behind the boy pulling her.

"Away from whatever the hell that was." Kuroo said as he looks back at her.

Hideko sighed as she lets herself be pulled by the captain of Nekoma.

"You're telling me what happened. Is that clear?"

"What the hell do you mean by Hideko being hurt?!" Kyotani angrily asked Goshiki as the other boys stretch and fix their clothes from their fall.

"Hey! Don't come here with that attitude of yours." Goshiki said as he stands up from his seat and glares at Johzenji and Seijoh.

"Great. Someone took her away." Shirabu grumbled as he rolled his eyes.

"You're right Shirabu. We should go and take her back." Kawanishi smirked at his friend.

"What? That's not what I said." Shirabu squinted his eyes.

"I translated it. Am I wrong?" Kawanishi teased him.

"What are we waiting for then?" Tendou jumped out of his seat, startling everyone.

"Enough. Everyone should just go back to their tables and finish eating. She's with Nekoma's captain, I'm sure she'll be fine." Ushijima said as he stood up from his seat.

"We are not moving until you explain what this bowl-cut said." Kyotani marched towards Ushijima, as if challenging him.

Iwaizumi finally gaining some sense told his teammates to go back to their table, pulling Kyotani away from Ushijima.

"But, chibi-chan is with Nekoma!" Oikawa complained.

"She's hurt? I heard that correctly, right?"
"We should run after them."
"What if she gets hurt again?!"
"Why didn't she say anything?!"
Seijoh along side Johzenji were voicing their concerns, their voices getting louder by the minute.


A certain orange haired player from Karasuno stared wide-eyed at the table of Shiratorizawa, surrounded by Seijoh and Johzenji players, color draining from his face.

"Should I wear white or black to your funeral?" Tsukishima taunted Hinata.

"Tsukishima, don't start." Daichi sighed as he stood up from his seat leaving his friends.

"Daichi?" Asahi asked his friend, looking around the table.

"Everyone, stay here. Eat your dinner, then get back to our room as soon as you all finish."

"Where are you going?" Suga asked, standing up, already having an idea on what their captain is going to do.

"It's better they hear the truth than whatever nonsense they can conjure up together."

Daichi walked towards the group of boys who has everyone's attention.

Telling them the truth is the right thing to do. They'll create more chaos and overwhelm Hideko if they don't get answers now. Besides, it is our fault. It's my fault. Time for some accountability. Daichi thought as he stands near them.

"We'll go to her later. Now, go back. We've made enough mess as it is."
Iwaizumi addressed his team but only received protests.

"I'm going after her." Kyotani said.

"Maybe we should calm down a little. If she's hurt-" Yahaba said.

"You're not exactly the right person to deal with people who are hurt." Kindaichi grumbled under his breath but nonetheless was heard by his team.
