Golden Week
THE PRACTICE MATCH WITH NEKOMA WAS ONLY a few days away and to prepare, the team underwent a training camp during Golden Week. After filling out the school forms that made Mirinae an official member of the volleyball club, she'd then gotten permission from her aunt to attend the camp. Shimizu even offered her to stay at her place, which was nearby, to which the brunette third-year accepted (albeit hesitantly).
"The practice match against Nekoma is in four days," Ukai informed the team, "and Inter-High preliminaries will be soon thereafter. We've got no time, but you guys are full of holes.
"Since that's the case," he continued, "there's only one way for you to win. Practice, practice, and practice." He narrowed his eyes, "Save the ball, even if you have to barf!"
"Yeah!" Hinata declared loudly.
Seeing how Tanaka, Sugawara, and Kageyama side-eyed him at that last sentence, Mirinae could only figure he did so already. Poor kid.
At first, Mirinae was assigned to do mostly managerial roles, similar to what Kiyoko did. Quite truthfully, she still had yet to take in the playstyles of all of the members, which she attempted to by scanning the court for any possible outliers —aspects that would make the team stand out more to win their upcoming practice match.
However, while she did know some things regarding the sport, it wasn't like she was an expert like the majority of them were. She had barely any notes on them.
"Sorry, Ukai-san," she muttered after night fell and the club was ready to wind down, "I wasn't able to get much today..."
His eyes softened. "Hey, kid. It's alright," he told her. "I get it. You're still new at this and this is your first official day. But tomorrow and onwards is a new start, so you can get even more then."
She nodded, although uncertain. "Yeah..."

Although Mirinae was staying over at Kiyoko's house during the duration of the training camp, they both had to spend time in the lodging where the boys stayed to help out, which they all were at currently.
Mirinae was about to head in to help Kiyoko and Takeda with the dinner set-up when she heard the excited yelps of Hinata, listening to how this training camp was his first ever one.
"I have to hang out all day with this slovenly bunch," Tsukishima grumbled. "What's fun about that?"
"Tsukishima, you bastard!" Tanaka growled, holding up a fist.
"Kiyoko-san and Mirinae-san's within a 500 meter radius of us! How can that be slovenly?" Nishinoya raged next to him.
"How pitiful that you can't understand how refreshing this place is!" the taller one went on, "It's like this wellspring in the Ou Mountains."
