NIGHTTIME

Kobayashi Aotori lay alone in his bedroom, staring at the bright moon outside the window. He had expended a lot of effort, reading and responding to each New Year's greeting text message, and finally tossed his phone onto the table.

He looked at the sticky note on his bedside table, with words he had seen on the browser written on it. For a moment, a feeling of grandeur and contentment filled his heart. This unfamiliar yet comfortable emotion made him unknowingly forget the anxiety and confusion he felt when he first arrived in this world.

Moreover, it was not so much adapting as it was acceptance.

It wasn't that the world accepted Aotori; rather, Aotori accepted this "2D" world. More importantly, he accepted—

—himself.

The tall young man nestled in the soft bed, the gentle eagle curled under his thick wings.

This eagle's next destination was—

Spring High.

TOKYO METROPOLITAN GYMNASIUM

Returning here, Kobayashi Aotori's emotions were vastly different from the last time.

Standing in the center of Shiratorizawa, surrounded by slightly taller Tendou and Ushijima, the expressionless Kobayashi Aotori's presence was not inferior to anyone.

If last time, Aotori came with the thought of returning after one round, this time, he had a single goal.

—Of course, this goal was no different from his usual attitude towards every match:

【Treat this game as if it were the last match of your life.】

Speaking of which, rather than his skills, it was Aotori's interpersonal relationships that improved significantly.

"Hey hey hey! It's Aotori!!!"

The familiar shout, no need to guess, it was Bokuto.

"Ara~ Aotori-chan?"

This strange voice, it could only be Nekoma.

"Hehehe... I didn't expect to meet you again so soon, Aotori."

This annoying fox who deserves a beating, Miya Atsumu.

"Aotori!!"

Ah, finally a normal, lively person like Komori came, if you ignore the dark aura around Sakusa.

"Aotori."

Yes, it's the always calm Kiryuu Wakatsu. It feels like he has changed a lot from before.

"Ha! Aotori! I will completely defeat you on the court!!"
