NOT KNOWING what had happened to Shiratorizawa's team after they left, Kobayashi Aotori felt his own situation was more urgent—

Didn't we agree...that we were here to watch the Fukurodani match?

Kobayashi Aotori, with dead fish eyes, stood behind the serving line holding a volleyball, looking at the excited owl shouting "hey" on the other side, his head a tangled mess.

—Why do I have to play too?! Huh?!


—TEN MINUTES AGO—


KOBAYASHI AOTORI politely knocked on the door, and after hearing a voice from inside, he slowly pushed it open and walked in.

Several teenagers stood by the net, their eyes curious but not surprised. It seemed that Hibari had informed the principal, who then informed the coach, who in turn told the players.

...Why does my visit trouble so many people?

"Hey~! You're finally here!" The first to speak was Bokuto, holding a volleyball. He excitedly stepped forward to talk, but his teammates in front of him strode up to him one by one, calmly blocked his way and greeted Kobayashi Aotori.

Blocked by his teammates, Bokuto's eyes turned into small dots, and he indignantly stretched out his hand, jumping up and down: "Hey! You guys! You're blocking me!!"

Konoha, who was standing aside, showed a helpless look.

Yes, they are blocking you, Bokuto.

Seemingly stunned by Fukurodani's members rushing forward to greet him, Kobayashi Aotori almost forgot the words and smile he had rehearsed on his way there.

Looking at Fukurodani's members in front of him, he raised the corners of his lips and curved his eyes at them:

"Hello, I'm Kobayashi Aotori from Shiratorizawa. Nice to meet you."

However, after saying this, the surroundings fell into an eerie silence.

The short Komi Haruki quietly glanced at Sarukui Yamato beside him, asking with his eyes:

Is this perverse smile, just like the one on TV...a provocation?

Sarukui Yamato thought for a moment and similarly explained with his eyes: Probably not. Kobayashi Aotori, though he likes to taunt others, we didn't provoke him, and we're not on the court.

The two nodded in conviction and came to a common conclusion -

【It seems that he just taunts others out of habit, I see.】
