The privilege of a lifetime,

is being who you are.

The match between Karasuno and Nekoma had already started. Daichi noticed Hinata glancing at the door repeatedly and finally couldn't help asking:

"Hinata, what are you looking at?"

Hinata, caught by Daichi, laughed awkwardly. Facing the frowning Kageyama, he said mysteriously:

"I invited a friend!"

"Huh? Shoyo's friend? Do we know them?" Nishinoya asked loudly.

"Well... I guess you might know him?" Hinata responded, hesitating. If it had been Daichi asking, he would have nodded without hesitation.

"Hmph... what kind of friends can you have?" Kageyama muttered. Hinata, who had been smiling, suddenly turned dark and snapped:

"What are you talking about, you idiot Kageyama?!"

"Okay, okay, focus on the game," Daichi clapped his hands in time, signaling for everyone to stop chatting and concentrate.

Kageyama took a deep breath and looked at the volleyball flying through the air. Suddenly, an orange figure flashed behind him, moving as fast as an afterimage. His pupils shrank slightly, and his breathing hitched.

'Damn it.'

He aimed at the opponent's hand and suddenly lifted his own—

"Swoosh—"

"Pah—!"

It all happened in an instant. The players of Nekoma were stunned, staring at the volleyball that fell to the ground. Coach Nekomata's squinting eyes opened wide.

'Good, good...'

"So fast."

'Yes... Wait, who said that?"

Everyone looked toward the door simultaneously. Kageyama immediately took a step back with his face showing unease. Sugawara and Daichi were extremely surprised, and even the Nekoma players were taken aback. Kuroo was the first to react and chuckled.

You leaned against the door, lifting your baseball cap with one hand and smiling with your eyes. You looked at Hinata, who had just landed on the ground. Your fingers were wrapped in bandages, and your casual outfit looked very comfortable.

"Dynamite!!"

Hinata's excited shout was the first to break the silence. You felt something was wrong when his eyes lit up, but it was too late to stop him.

"Oh? Dynamite?" Kuroo repeated, looking at your helpless expression with interest as he crossed his arms.

"I'm late." You smiled and started to walk toward Karasuno's rest area. Suddenly, an orange blur flashed by, and the next moment you were hugged.

"Wow! You're really here!" Hinata exclaimed with sparkling eyes, hugging you tightly. Ignoring your stiff movements, he happily jumped down.

"Are you here to see Kageyama?"

"...Huh?! Don't talk nonsense, boke!!" Kageyama, suddenly called out, was furious and shouted loudly.

You felt more relaxed since you didn't have to play. Raising an eyebrow, you looked at the angry, red-faced Kageyama and tilted your head.

"Yes, I came to watch 'Your Highness' play volleyball."

As expected, the mention of that title made the atmosphere around Kageyama tense again.
