HUFF... HUFF...

Quietly wiping the sweat off his chin, Kobayashi Aotori looked at the equally exhausted Komori Motoya on the other side.

The two of them kept the ball in play, making them, besides the two ace players, the ones who exerted the most energy.

At this moment, Kobayashi Aotori was full of confusion. ?? Why? Why do I have to do the libero's job?! Yamagata Hayato, what are you looking at?!

And Wakatoshi-kun, are you playing house with Sakusa? Or is this a turn-based game?! One ball for you, one ball for him, how harmonious, did you agree on this?

Kobayashi "Eagle" Aotori's resentment surged, his presence multiplied, making Komori Motoya's teeth tingle. He watched as Aotori's navy-blue medium-length hair was slightly damp with sweat, and those narrow hazel eyes stared intensely at him.

...S-scary, feels like I'm going to be devoured!!

Startled, he immediately sought help from Sakusa beside him, but at this moment, Sakusa was also struggling.

It was just because the left-handed Ushijima on the opposite side played really irritatingly well. They had been in a stalemate for a long time with little progress.

The scoreboard which showed 21:21 was enough to prove all of this, with the point gap never exceeding two points.


—KOBAYASHI AOTORI felt he was reaching his limit.

You bastards! Can you understand the libero's feelings?!

Huh? Libero?

He shook his head to try to clear his mind, frowning as he glanced at the slightly panting Ushijima Wakatoshi standing beside him.

Ushijima Wakatoshi was in a difficult position, as was Sakusa.

The two exchanged glances, and Sakusa had tried multiple times to break the stalemate, but had failed each time.

With a face full of resentment, Sakusa took two steps forward, then swiftly leaped——!

"Snap."

The crisp sound of a block was so sudden that all the players on the court were stunned——

Because next to Tendou, who was originally responsible for blocking, there was an additional pair of hands!

"You're so annoying."

The low voice broke the silence instantly, and everyone was shocked to see Kobayashi Aotori, with a sweaty and impatient face, blocking Sakusa's ball.

Sakusa landed with a calm expression, turning around without hesitation.
