T.N.: The phrase "排球牌洗面奶" ("volleyball brand facial cleanser") is a humorous or sarcastic expression. It implies someone gets hit in the face with a volleyball so often it feels like they're using a facial cleanser branded with volleyball.


AFTER A BRIEF PAUSE and some rearrangement, the second set quickly began.

The arena, which had just calmed down, became lively again. The members of Karasuno looked around subconsciously, realizing that at some point, the empty seats around them had gradually filled up.

A group of girls whispered among themselves, and after what seemed like a final decision, three or four of them ran to the railing in front, squeezing in next to Hinata and the others who had been standing there.

Watching Kobayashi Aotori step onto the court, a pink-haired girl with a cute voice started a countdown, "1, 2..."

"Aotori-kun! Ganbatte! Aotori-kun! Ganbatte!" Suddenly, a few sweet voices loudly cheered. Several girls, their faces showing excitement, closed their eyes and shouted passionately.

On the other side, the girls supporting Oikawa Tooru glared, immediately shouting in retaliation, "Oikawa-sama! Do your best! Oikawa-sama!"

"Huh——?! This jerk!" Tanaka exclaimed with red eyes, and next to him, Nishinoya Yuu quickly stood up, saying, "Hah! I'm starting to hate him now!"

T.N.: The phrase "exclaimed with red eyes" is an idiom used to describe someone who is extremely angry or upset. The literal translation is "eyes wide open with rage," which conveys the intensity of the emotion, often to the point of having bloodshot eyes due to the heightened emotional state.

"Weren't you just saying you were starting to like Kobayashi a moment ago..." Azumane Asahi weakly retorted.

On the court, Kobayashi Aotori was slightly taken aback, but with so many people in the stands, he couldn't pinpoint who was shouting.

...Maybe I misheard.

After a brief scan of the audience, he expressionlessly turned back. Immediately, a few girls erupted into a short burst of screams:

"We got ignored by Aotori-kun!"

"Aotori-kun is so cool!"

"Wuwuwu, Aotori-kun... please look at me one more time!"

Hinata, standing beside them, blinked in confusion, not quite understanding the girls' excitement. While Mr. Dynamite playing volleyball was undoubtedly handsome, the game hadn't even started yet.

"...Idiot," Kageyama muttered.


THE INTERLUDE was short-lived, and Kobayashi Aotori was completely unaware of the situation. At this moment, he was fully immersed in the game.
