...THE GAME CONTINUED.
It's unclear whether it was because the ball hitting Kobayashi Aotori's head somehow buffed Goshiki Tsutomu, but he retaliated by hitting the opponent's player on the head.
In the following set, Itachiyama performed very actively, scoring several points in quick succession. Even players other than Sakusa shone brightly during this opportunity.
However, Goshiki Tsutomu was no different. It seemed that after "accidentally injuring" Kobayashi Aotori, his mindset started to correct itself little by little. His spikes were quick, accurate, and fierce, steadily securing points.
—Although until the end of this set, he still didn't dare to look into Kobayashi Aotori's eyes.
Thus, with a whistle, Itachiyama won the first set. The cheerleaders immediately burst into cheers, and both teams slowly left the court.
EVEN THOUGH Kobayashi Aotori said it was nothing, Goshiki Tsutomu still left the court trembling, as expected, and was severely scolded by Coach Washijo, who told him to correct his attitude in the next set.
Perhaps Coach Washijou's familiar scolding made Goshiki feel as if he were back in the training room, and oddly enough, he wasn't as nervous anymore.
But still, an apology was necessary.
Step by step, he moved in front of Kobayashi Aotori. While Kobayashi Aotori was drinking water, he, like a quail with a flushed face, carefully inched his way to the side of the eagle, sneaking a look at his expression.

T.N.: "憋红了脸的鹌鹑" (biē hóng le liǎn de ānchún) - This phrase compares the character to a "quail with a flushed face," which is a colorful and somewhat humorous way to describe someone who is shy, nervous, or embarrassed.
"I-I'm so, so sorry! Just now on the court..."
"It's nothing."
Suddenly, a slightly hoarse voice rang out, causing Goshiki, who was bowing at ninety degrees, to freeze. He stupidly raised his head and saw Kobayashi Aotori, who was intently changing his bandages, speaking:
"Good luck in the next set."
Goshiki froze for a few seconds, and next to him, Ohira Reon sighed in relief, but the next moment, he leaned back abruptly—
Because the dumbfounded expression of Goshiki turned into a teary-eyed gaze of deep gratitude. With a somewhat pitiful and choked voice, he said:
"...Aotori..."
