T.N.: (The feeling of extreme embarrassment before the match.) In this context, "社死" (shè sǐ) is internet slang in Chinese, which means experiencing a situation so embarrassing that one feels like their social life is "dead." It's similar to the English phrase "dying of embarrassment."
SEVERAL PEOPLE settled into the room arranged by Shiratorizawa. Kobayashi Aotori lazily yawned, his hand in his pocket, one shoulder carrying his bag, and the other hand holding Shiratorizawa's uniform jacket.
He thought that after watching the match, Goshiki's nervousness would calm down, and he could get some sleep.
...Who knew these guys would watch one match after another, all the way until they reached Tokyo.
What a bunch of energetic guys.
Standing amidst the crowd, listening to the voices discussing which of Aotori's performances in the recent matches were particularly outstanding, he sighed helplessly, straightened the navy-blue hair under his baseball cap, and checked into the hotel with everyone.
He and Tendou Satori were assigned to the same room.
It wasn't a personal choice but purely a luck-of-the-draw situation.
Hmm... Otherwise, Kobayashi Aotori would have chosen the quiet Yamagata Hayato and Kawanishi Taichi, or even Ohira Reon.
Feeling the piercing gaze of Tendou, as well as the slightly upturned corners of his lips, he decided that he didn't want Tendou to come up with any more "bright ideas" to pass the time on him. Instead, he chose to transcribe the notes sent by Ito in the form of images.
After a while, when he put down his pen, Tendou Satori beside him seemed to have already showered, dried his hair, and was ready to sleep.
He slightly turned his head and suddenly saw the drooping red hair of Tendou, his eyes frozen for a few seconds.
"Eh? What's wrong?" Tendou Satori tilted his head, red hair lying flat on his face with a few stray strands on top. His upturned eyes were smiling, rabbit-like mouth lightly pursed, face beaming.
"...Ahem. Nothing." He waved his hand, turned around and went into the bathroom with his toiletries.
So, why does someone look so different when their hair is flat and when it's spiked?!
He roared inwardly.
Watching Kobayashi Aotori stagger into the bathroom, Tendou Satori tilted his head, a question mark slowly appearing above it.
A long while later, Kobayashi emerged from the bathroom with steam still rising from his body. He casually pushed aside his navy-blue hair on his forehead, and due to the wetness and length, it fell over his eyes.
